Pretty cool thread.

>What I like about Ice types
They're just cool in general, most of them have nice designs and I like how offensive they are. I only wish the type itself was more usable as opposed to slapping Ice Beam on every Water Pokemon and calling it done.

>What's your favorite Pokemon of that typing?
Froslass, I really like the indepth lore behind it as far as Yuki-Onna goes. It's cute too.

>Favorite move
I'm a weather fag who loves rain but hail is my second favorite so Blizzard is my favorite Ice type move, it's just a cool concept of a move.

Good tastes anon.
Might be a weaboo-thing, But I have always named my Froslass "Yukina" ofc after Hiei's sister. It has been my favorite Ice-type as well ever since I first found out about it.

Also, I agree on the part where they should cut down on giving Ice Beam to all of these Water-types. Maybe even remove it from a lot of their movepools.
And they should really raise Ice-type's Defense by 50% in Hail. It's just not fair

I personally don't like ice-types. I'm a fightingfag though so I'm biased.

>What do you like or not like about Ice-types?
They're so cliche and always blue. Alolan Vulpix and Glaceon were nice but every theme is blatant iciness unlike forms like Weavile or Piloswine.

>What's your favorite Pokémon of that typing?
Piloswine was my favorite ground type until Marshstomp rolled into my life and he's coincidentally ice so I tolerated the typing

>Favorite move
Ice Punch and Aurora Beam

Honestly, they should just make a Pokemon like Ice Climbers. A Pokemon that traverses icy climates, Ice/Fighting probably. Its lore is that it lives in harsh winter climates living off the land n shit like an eskimo. Fuck give it a blunt object too. Humanoid and introverted and possibly feral because of the isolation with Medicham/Primeape features but a thick coat like Piloswine to help with the weather. I would've embraced a wooly Alolan Primape. 7 generations and all we have are Snow: The Pokemon.

>What do you like or not like about Ice-types?
Ice is a nice type in general, a lot of pretty designs and move animations. I also like how rare they are, which makes them more special as they used to be the notorious "dragon-killers".

>What's your favorite Pokémon of that typing?
Maybe Crabominable? There's a lot of good choices.

>Favorite move?
Aurora Beam, Aurora Veil, Blizzard, Sheer Cold...

Nope. Avalugg's official artwork is angled and the top of it is actually flat. So it's measured from feet to the top.
Also, I measured it using this concept art of Wulfric standing on Avalugg as reference

I like ice as an element, always thought it was cool (no pun intended). I also live in a cold country so there' always a lot of snow and ice during the winters wich makes Ice-types feel natural for me.

My favorite Ice-type has to be Cloyster, closely followed by Glalie. Not too big on mega-glalie though.

The coolest ice-type move has to be Ice Beam. It's the signature move of the entire type. It looked really cool when Nidoqueen used Ice beam in the anime too.

Overall, I think gen 6 introduced the best ice types. While they were not competitively good, they had great designs and there was a healthy mix of pure Ice-types and mixed Ice-types. Gen 3 comes second in that regard.

it's even worse when you consider that it's the rarest type. Come on, guys! Why can't you make an actually well functioning Ice type?! Why is it SO HARD for them to create an Ice type that actually CAPITALIZES on what makes Ice good?

I don't like how bad is defensively the Ice-type.

>What's your favorite Pokémon of that typing?
Alolan Sandslash because of its typing and Slush Rush makes it pretty unique.

>Favorite move?
Freeze-Dry. Like Alolan Sandslash, is pretty unique.

Of all the Nintendo franchises, Pokémon is the least Nintendo.

While at least one game of any Nintendo franchise have a reference to another Nintendo franchise, Pokémon doesn't have anyone and the same happens with the other ones.

I'm still surprised that Game Freak didn't move to SONY when the PSP was released.

I've always liked the power of freezing things, ice is just cool. I wish they would make more Ice types. I'd like an Ice sea serpent, or an actual yeti that's not a crab.

Articuno
