One of the oft-neglected Pokémon types is Ice; their attacks are great for taking down formidable Dragon-type opponents, but the typing leaves much to be desired in terms of defense. It’s for this reason that they have often struggled competitively and now even have to contend with Fairy Pokémon trying to take their spot on teams.
There are still plenty of cool choices among the coldest Pokémon though. Collectors have often sought them for their beauty and style even if they fell short in battles. Generation I included no pure Ice-type Pokémon but did introduce us to classics such as Jynx, Lapras, Articuno and more. Further generations only bolstered the number of Ice-types available and even added an Eeveelution to the mix.
Let us know in the comments below your favorite Ice-type Pokémon from each generation, any memorable anime episodes featuring the type and any other stories you remember!
Haven’t watched the video because I’m in a rush but Ice is super underrated and has some amazing designs. I hope that GameFreak buffs it a bit one day, it’s an amazing glass cannon type but the Pokémon with the stats for that are little whilst slow Ice types are plentiful. Even if it got a 50% defense buff in hail to mirror the Rock Sp. Def buff in sand it’d help a bit. If I were to choose tho I’d give it resistances to two of the following: Flying, Water, and Ground. You can argue hard enough for each for the sake of balance.
Flying
… just… flying
It’s such a splashable attack and the resistances it has are kinda ass
I mean
Rock is arguably as bad as ice is in its current state, electric Pokemon are rarely even bulky enough to take flying hits, steel types resist it but steel resists literally everything. Point is, we need something that can eat a brave bird and slaughter the bird
#BuffIce
Just gotta say that although he wasn’t always the MOST reliable, when Flurry (My Glaceon) got going in USUM, he put in the FINEST of work. Remember that totem Kommo-o? He froze it and slaughtered it in two turns cause he is a GOD
Shoutout to Shiinotic real fast. I’ve actually grown to like it. I mean it’s not good (Honestly it’s pretty fuckin bad) but it’s quite fun to use.
That makes MOST the alolan mons usable in some capacity. They have pretty unique roles
M O S T

Oh hello Turtonator and Incineroar I didn’t see you guys there
Excuse me we are appreciating ice types in this article
I had to appreciate shiinotic since nobody ever remembers it
I don’t see any Ice types in this post
Well alolan mons include an ice type
aka
Old Man Crabs
On the topic of Alolan mons, shoutout to Crabominable for being different. The boi is literally a slow tank of giga death. I really wish it wasn’t so bad but I love it regardless
My I love ice typing, it has one the better designed Pkms imo. But yeah it’s stupidly weak competitively but that kinda makes sense considering it’s ice, something that is super fraill. Some of my favs are Weavile and Articuno mainly because of their design really :0
Btw GF pls make ice resist something else
Fairy would be good, Maybe make fairy weak to ice
Doesn’t make much sense tho
Small weak fairies would die in low temperatures
Small weak mammals would die in low temperatures
Small weak fish would die in low temperatures
Small weak bugs would die in low temperatures
People with Psychic abilities would die in low temperatures
Professional Fighters would die in low temperatures
I mean, do you imagine Tinkerbell surviving one hour stuck in a fridge?
Yes because fridges aren’t below zero so it won’t be the temperature that really kills her
Eh, small fairies also die of fire. And not all Fairies in Pkm are small
Yes, because let’s shít on Poison even more
Ice is sh*t on more often than Poison
Keep telling yourself that. If Poison didn’t get that buff against Fairy it’s be worse than Ice lol
But it got one. And Ice got nothing.
And if you make Ice SE on Fairy you take that buff away. Give ice a seperate buff or just make good ice types.
So let’s make a type decent while make another decent one bad?
I
LOVE
ICE
TYPES
My favs are:
Aloslash, Mamoswine and Vanniluxe
Shout out to my favorite Ice Type
https://static.zerochan.net/Froslass.full.1505454.jpg
She got cheated out of a mega ;~;
And on being on Lusamine’s team even tho it’s Pretty and Freezes Humans (and Lusamine loves pretty pokemon and Freezes Pokemon)
I don’t know why but I feel like Froslass is one of those Pokemon I could see a lot of ceramics decorated with
Glalie got one and Froslass not was because Glalie didn’t have a design that’s nearly as awesome as Fros so they had to improve it with a mega
It still isn’t
It just needs some small stat boosts. It has sat in BL for so long. :/
The cutest ice type is AloPix and there’s no competition.
The ugliest is Walrein because it ruins Spheal
I like Walrein, used one in ORAS, but I agree Spheal looks much better
Eh I mean, does Spheal need to be cute all the way until its final evo where it has to look like a fat walrus, Walrein is fine for me really.
And Alo Sandshrew is way cuter wth
Walrein is ok. Used it in ORAS.
I’d say the ugliest is Crabominable.
I forgot Crab existed lol
My suggestions for ice Type to make it not sh*t
Changes to its weaknesses and resistances
Weak to: Fire, Rock
Resists: Dragon, Water, Fairy, Fighting
Super Effective against: Grass, Ice, Flying and Fighting
Hail buffs. Ice types gain a buff in defenses when in hail
A freeze version of thunderwave
More non Ice type Pokémon with abilities that benefit in hail
Introduce less walls and less glass canons to the type
Why the Fightining resistance/being SE against?
Have you ever punched a block of ice?
Ummm.. there’s a few broken parts to this
Explain my dude
That many resistances and with only two weaknesses is a bit much… Plus enough beats fighting already tbh
Fighting is a powerful attack type so it balances out doesn’t it?
I mean ice itself becomes broken with all those buffs
Good
The goal isn’t to make broken types
But like nerf flying to the ground that makes me happy
I think your hatred for them comes from a deep sadness that Rowlet didn’t remain the best secondary type
Nah
My anger comes from the fact that flynium Lando T as rare as it is fucks whatever I do to the ground
Imagine being told there was going to be an Ice Fighting Yeti Pokémon and someone hands you fucking Crabominable
Imagine copying the same comment from discord to PJN ?
I can because I’ve done it before ?
Imagine…. shutting up
Roastedddddddddd
Demn roasted like chicken in a tundra
Most of us didn’t see it 🙂
Our discord is for cool kids only
Be glad you got to get a sneak peak >.>
Then I’m glad I’m not part of it cuz I ain’t a cool kid.I am

I don’t see you tho

Wouldn’t be surprised or amused, I mean, Yetis are pretty ugly already tbh

Am I in your favorite human club?
I said cub not club
I can’t read I guess lol
No this’s called laziness ……r u pisces ?
Nah it really is just I can’t read. Usually we just call human babies…. well, babies. Honestly that still doesn’t make much more sense to me
I know but I like call humanz babies like this
I mean it’s been mentioned before in these comments but I wish I could forget it
I hope I can forget this comment

That’s an ice-type?
Is this a joke?
No. I didn’t play Gen 5 and was very disinterested in it.
NP I think BW was interesting u should try it
1) Lapras
2) Pilowine
3) Snorunt
4) Weavile
5) Vanilluxe
6) Aurorus
7) A Ninetails.
Honestly I like ice type, but there needs to be more of them. Also needs to be buffed. Please take away fightings SE typing against it. I hate fighting type.
The weaknesses it has make sense, it should have another resist or 2.
Ice should resist water flying and grass
Favourites:
Gen 1 – Lapras, Articuno
Gen 2 – Swinub, Sneasel, Delibird (great ones in gen 2)
Gen 3 – Sealeo
Gen 4 – Mamoswine, Froslass
Gen 5 – Vannillite, Kyurem-B
Gen 6 – Amaura
Gen 7 – Alolan Ninetales and Snowslash
I really like Ice Types, though I do often struggle to find them a place on my team. In Gen 7 I have used both Alolan variants and I have used both of my Gen 4 favourites in the past though.
Sorry for being a-wall (AWOL) for the weekend, but I have been busy with the end of the semester-still am. Just taking a moment to say that I am just before the 6th Trial-since Friday. Also to give my favorite Ice-types of each Gen. Seriously they need a buff in the future for a typing that is cool but also usually available late in game. Or just make them available earlier. I am easy to please.
I:Jynx
II:Piloswine
III:Glalie
IV:Glaceon
V:Vanilluxe
VI:Aurorus
VII:Crabominable
Gen 1: Articuno
Gen 2: Weavile
Gen 3: Glalie
Gen 4: Frisia’s
Gen 5: Vanillite
Gen 6: Avalugg
Gen 7: Alolan Ninetales
If Cloyster isn’t your favorite Ice type you’re either gay or a woman but not both. I refuse to believe something else.
When you put it that way, Cloyster isn’t too bad :3
Cloyster is My Favorite Clam type and I’m Ace.
Pairs well with Onix

Tho this clip sucks, Who the hell puts their watermark on a clip from someone else’s video
Perv
I realized at 2:54 AM last night that Toucannom is Dragonite
How drunk were you?
1.I can’t drink for medical reasons 2. Again 2:54 AM 3. As in the fact that Toucannon is not what people expected Pikipek to evolve into and Dragonite is so Different to Dragonair.
except dragonite is still nice
I like Dragonite, Did not Realize it Evolved from Dragonair for the Longest. I think Toucannon is Cool, Just not what People Expected.
I personally love toucannon. I do admit though it may have been more suited as it’s own Pokémon than a pikipek evolution
SAME HERE, WHICH IS WHY IT IS ARGUABLY IN THE SAME BOAT AS DRAGONITE
I can sort of agree with that. I don’t particularly like dragonite but at same time I don’t hate it either. I do wish that dragonair had an alternate evolution where it stays serpentine like I will say
thanks
Toucannon is one of the greatest things to come out of Gen 7
no
Metaphor. Like how (Prior to Charizardite X) Gyarados and Charizard were both pokemon people thought shoukd be dragons but weren’t dragons
I wanna apologize to @monkeyfuzz if i came up as rude on the trade thing… I am a better doe than that, deer…
No need to apologise, I get that I was asking alot. My sister had some time to help me move my stuff between games in the end so all was fine. Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, I wasn’t trying to be harsh or anything.
Have you met John Doe?
No, but i met Jhon Cena…
Well I failed my first drivers test. Was told I have a little work to do. will probably retake it Wednesday and if I fail again I will just renew my permit and retake it early next year so I can get some more experience. Have made a lot of progress though considering earlier in the year I was afraid of being on the road.
I don’t know that I could ever drive, I don’t think I’d have the confidence and it’s alot of responsibility. GL when you retry.
I understand what you mean completely. I have had an anxiety over it for the longest and just got more comfortable with it this year. One thing that helped that is that I want to get away somewhat from where I live due to some people I want to avoid if that makes any sense. And thanks really appreciate it! Btw advice don’t start driving until you feel you are ready! There is no shame in waiting
Ice types bleghhhh
They’re just another type I gotta worry about
There’s only a pocket full of Ice types that don’t make me dry heave
Crabominable
Avalugg
Mamoswine
Swinub is the cutest Ice type https://i2.wp.com/68.media.tumblr.com/37c27e4845a8556bed56c9b05d3cf026/tumblr_mgxm82rjmy1rtatqpo1_500.gif?resize=500%2C375&ssl=1
Undeniably
My favourite ice-types from 1-7.
Gen 1: Jynx
Gen 2: Delibird (lol the only G2 ice type)
Gen 3: Regice
Gen 4: Glaceon
Gen 5: Vanillish
Gen 6: Aurorus
Gen 7: Alolan Ninetales
Swinub, Piloswine, Sneasel and Smoochum all say hi.
I consider the first two to be Gen 4 because honestly they don’t look like Gen 2 Pokemon, plus Mamoswine is Gen 4, Sneazel I forgot and Smoochum I kinda did too, but I already had Jynx.
They looked like Gen 2 Pokemon in Gen 2, before Mamoswine existed. I’m not sure I see what you mean.
I just got used to them being Gen 4 because I used to watch the G4 anime when I was younger.
Oh OK, now that makes some sense.
The last Part of the Anime I could watch the Dub of without being unable to handle the cheese.
It’s only really Gen 5 that sucks.
What about Smoochum and Sneasle
Forgot about those two.
Mine would be:
Lapras
Delibird (I actually like it lol)
Spheal/Walrein
Mamoswine
Vanillish
Aurorus (tho Tyrantrum is MUCH better)
Alolan Sandslash

Again with the reposting, but seriously. This is actually really good
Is Kill La Kill any good?
Yes.
It’s not all about skimpy outfits and boobs is it?
Eh, Skimpy outfits yes, Boobs less so, mainly about fighting and mind control clothes
OK, I mean I don’t mind those things as long as there is substance, actually story and good characters.
Short but pretty good story.
Yes

https://twitter.com/MegaMan/status/937762291415576576
Just saw the reveal and I am freaking lol new mega man game and the entire x series on switch? Yes please!
I think I am the only one who for another NT warrior like game………..nice avatar by the way.
You mean the Universe with BN and SF where Dr.Light’s Internet Research was chosen over Wily’s Robot Research?
No I meant these 2 https://static.tumblr.com/438655d502b954bfe7eb5b07e001c0ee/3r91yxt/xHwnrhs7x/tumblr_static_filename_640_v2.jpg https://static.zerochan.net/Megaman.Starforce.3.full.255345.jpg
You mean the one’s I Mentioned by Initials?
Oh now I know wat BN and SF mean
Battle Network and Starforce Yes.
No you are not. I would love an actual continuation of the battle network series with lan and mayls son
why not make X9 in the vein of MM9?
IM SCREAMING
Hopefully it’s better than their latest Megaman games >_>
But it’s really cool to see Capcom still making more Megaman games :0
YES!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f9a7acfa3bb64461f334c78f9633b0cb937f0c4912bbc3443093b52f88715491.png
Who here watches one piece?
Me, still on Punk Hazard arc though.
I’ve Seen all pre-Timeskip via the Funi-Dub(need to rewatch Amazon Lily-Marineford because I skimmed that hard, Skipped all Filler and LRLL save for AFRO LUFFY), and seen a little past Zou in post ts subs, Waiting on the Dub to Finish off Fishman Island(or at least get to the part where they Curb Stomp Everybody)
I didn’t like the dub, no idea if it got better. I mostly prefer subbed anime anyway. I do my best to skip fillers, though I too watched Afro Luffy.
Have you actually seen the Uncut Dub? It’s Different from the 4kids Dub Vastly and even from the Funimation Cut Dub from when they had to take over and shoehorn around the changes.
No, but I’m content with the Japanese voices. Maybe I’ll check out the dub if I get curious enough but I’m over 600 episodes in and doing fine.
LRLL isn’t filler, but it could be, especially with how much they like to bring Foxy back in Fillers
Probably why I watched it then.
Used to. I’d watch it again if it weren’t so long
the manga itself is over 20 years old
Up-to-date with the manga.
This thing kinda looks like Golurk https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQObcsRV4AAtvTI.jpg
no it doesnt
Yes it does
No it doesn’t!
It has similar color sceme (only a few shades off of Golurk’s blue and it covers the yellow part) and blocky texture is what he means
So he’s both right and wrong, as its similar, but not exactly the same
Ik i just wanted to disagree
No I just want to agree with myself
I can see some
Out of school for the rest of the day woo!
And well its obvious who my favorite Ice type is https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/56c5d8ee344b7e1f17d6f1bd38f05ac483a40390ee98e4d4ca7143b395c83519.png
And all in all Ice isn’t my favorite type of all, but it’s the only type I don’t dislike a single one of them, most I love or am neutral with
….
froslassdeservesthatmegamore
But Glalie looks better to me
And my old friend Glice (Ot holds a spot in my All-star team)
butfroslassdeservedthemegamore
Mega Froslass for Gen 8! because We Didn’t get any new ones in Gen 7 and that’s a crime since the only gen 5 mon with a mega is audino
It may, but she’ll get her chance… one day
Favorite of each Gen.
Gen.1- Dewgong
Gen.2- The between Sneasel and Piloswine
Gen.3- Glalie
Gen.4- Weavile and Mamoswine (Weavile may be my favorite, but it shares its Ice spot with Mamoswine)
Gen.5- Vanillish
Gen.6- Avalugg
Gen.7- Alolan Sandslash
Gen2: for real wat else could be Delibird?
Gen6…….hel yeah Avalugg need some love
Meh because Weavile’s n’t favorite I also really love Sneasel, but I like Delibird, actually I find nothing wrong with it, I even had a good match competitively with one
And yeah Avalugg holds a special place for m because when I saw my first Bergmite I sat and looked at my screen like “How… how…. Did they make such a cool Pokémon?!”
It easily ranks in my top 10 ice types and in top 10 Kalos Region Pokémon in general
If mega counted then yes
CAPCOM IS RELEASING ALL OF THE MEGAMAN X GAMES ON SWITCH
How mundane.
Only the first 6 are good enough thank you very much
which one has Duff McWhalen?
X5
I will buy all 8 lol only played x4-6 plusthe x one remake on psp.
I think they might be releasing them as one item, like with the Legacy Collections
Well either way I will get them lol now if only they would do a battle network legacy collection. Capcom please.
If they do that they better fix that Wood Man? Bug where it looked like it froze but it was Something Wrong with the Frames or soemthing?
Woodman glitch? I honestly don’t remember that lol
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQOiSIsWAAAD_mP.jpg
The old guys look so out of place lol
So excited! All 8 megaman x games on my switch plus megaman 11 looks pretty good so far! Finally megaman is alaivr again….for now let’s hope Capcom doesn’t stuff him in a closet again
I don’t get Megaman
What to Get? He’s a Man who Rocks
He’s s fighting robot! MEGAMAN! ?
Tbh this hype for Megaman came out of nowhere, like, we barely talk about it. But I kinda understand where the hype is coming from, Megaman is a great platformer and Megaman X is one of the best SNES games really.
Ice has the best Z-Move dance and I’ll 1v1 anyone who disagrees ❄
That and like bug/ghost for me. Ice is amazing
I’m agreeing with you just because I don’t have the patience to sit down and watch every Z-Move dance, because otherwise ?
All you need to know:
Fairy – slight difference on guys which makes it less cringy than expected
Pikachu – very cringy but in a cute way
Rock – awkward with how skinny the MCs are
Not surprised some o them are cringy considering it’s just some 12 year old doing bizarre poses
Finally beat Ultra Sun yesterday. I really want to do the Rainbow Rocket Episode, but I’m gonna hunt for shiny UB: Burst first, which might take a while. AlsoI went wormhole hunting for a bit and got four shinies (Swanna x2, Hippowdon, and Crustle). Was hoping to get a Swellow because it’s one of my dream shinies, but I think I’m gonna take a break from the wormhole for now.
Such a great video

“It’s so cool before” you said it’s OK right before…
He called Incineroar line “perfection” how can I hate this guy?
I love this guy too
Oh and I’m bored give me something to work on
Of my existing Pokémon ideas which should I emphasize next
-My orchid bee Pokémon
-My Quoll regional Rodent
-My Vole regional Rodent (They are time based encounters)
-Figure out what my Bird should be
-My early on cat Pokémon
-My Bear Pokémon that has a split evolution
– Look for something entirely new to make?
Bear
I’ll get to work right away
It’s him a be tough to make it all
*fans*: we want a dolphin Pokémon!
Me: did you know Killer Whales are actually considered Dolphins? ;3
They barely look like dolphins 😛
But they are
#shamelessfakemonplug
When people say dolphin they mean Delphinidae not of the genus Orcinus or Globicephela, or river dolphins.
Well it counts enough ;3
Nu ?
GameFreak: Tapu Fini is partially a Dolphin
Me: we should have an orca Pokémon!
What
Wat
Tapu Fini is a fish. Tapu Koko is a bird, Tapu Lele is an insect, Tapu Bulu is a mammal.
Tapu Fini is a mix between a Swordfish and a Marlin, not a dolphin at all.
Also, Kyogre is the only orca we need thank you very much. I won’t let my tsunami causing beauty to have any competition ?
Kyogre is a Leviathan, Groudon is a Behemoth and Rayquaza is a Ziz
I hope that if we get more overworld pokemon in Pokemon Switch, we can finally see a size accurate Wailord
Then it would be possible to have a gym/trial/whatever inside of a Wailord.
Vore weirdos would have a field day
Definitely, I mean they already are having a field day with Mimikyu’s Z-move and they are kind of stretching it by saying that.
They’d be having a wail of a time
Or a Town in the Sky on the Back of a Wailord becuase as we all know, Wailord is Less dense than Air.
I did not know that. Do they learn Fly or Bounce?
No but they Are the flost whale Pokemon
Wait they can Learn bounce by Tutoring
This y I like NT more than original series ….the original looks like a joke. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/5/5f/Bass3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100626131014 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/3/38/Bass2MM10.png/revision/latest?cb=20100722183556
Fucccck vignette………..wtf with their links?
While I also prefer the battle network series over the classic games the art style is different because it’s from a different time. Back in the 80s technology could only do so much plus that was the art style back then too.
My wondering was y these series didn’t not success……..y ppl still like original over these?
Nostalgia mostly. A lot of the fan base grew up on the classic games. To be honest though it’s almosg impossible to compare them since he gameplay is completely different
Battle network and starforce are RPGs
Pretty much while the classic and x series are action platform. Honestly I would like a first person shooter megaman game similar to the metroid prime series.
Hey guys wouldn’t a nymph be a good Fairy type?
Florges is kinda a flower nymph and as most nymphs are linked to plants and bodies of water I’d rather not. I want to see more unique type combos
I’m asking because my bear has an evolution which originates from Ursa Major and Minor
And they say that Ursa Major was originally a Nymph named Callisto so I wanted to make it have a nymph type to kind of have a deeper meaning to its evolution than what meets the eye
In that case, nymphs are extremely similar to certain depictions of fairies so I’d say go for it
Thanks now I can continue as planned
I’m going to wait to show case my bear only as it looks like no ones here
Rest or Mud Sport? I need a super early move for the bear
Rest
But is that too OP for learning at level 8?
What is it’s type?
Normal type
It has some meh defense in this stage
Not really because that gives the enemy 3 turns to kill you and you’re not gonna have great hp or defenses that low
True, it also gets Snore at level 20 so 5 levels before it evolves
Tauros learns it the lowest of all non legendsry or mythics at 19
Wait nosepass at 16
Wailord vs Cosmoem
I actually have come up with a strategy for Cosmoem
Give it Leftovers and have a second Pokémon to use spite after Cosmoem has maximum defense with Cosmic power, then use Struggle repeatedly
? I was asking the least dense vs the most dense
Oh Cosmoem is more dense then
I know that… And Wailord is the least dense pokemon…..
Why is Archen in the Water 3 Egg Group?
They should bring back seasons, even if just as a thing that Changes Deerling and Sawsbuck
Seriously tho
WHY ARE THERE ONLY SEASONS IN NEW YORK
Well folks the first stage of my Bear Pokémon. Introducing Bearby!
Bearby
The Bear Pokémon

It has a split evolution at level 25 depending on attack/Special attack so I’ll give them individually
I like it, how does it use Needle Arm?
It has dangling arms that look sort of like clubs so I thought it was fitting
Bearry gotta watch out for these guys
The movepool seems a bit sporadic imo 😡
How its Fuzzy coat makes sense for Cotton Guard, they can throw Tantrums easily, bears lick their paws to get honey off, they bite (this one is arguable), hits heavy with its arm so it can learn Needle Arm, Detect and swift yeah I admit can be very debatable and they are noble so they can roar like that
It just doesn’t have a theme throughout its moveset that feels cohesive
If it’s Attack is higher at level 25 than it evolves into

So your thoughts on Bearby and its evolutions?
I like it, what is the origin of ‘Ursation’ (reminds me of ‘Alsatian’)? Also where does the Fairy type come from?
The name was a mix of Ursa and constellation
And the Fairy type is justified as since its based on Ursa Major, and in the Roman mythology major was originally a Nymph named Callisto
And since Fairies and nymphs are similar I thought the typing fit well
I do think Bearby’s move pool will be altered because by the time I got to this half I was exhausted and kind of dragged it to the end
Hm, maybe rethink the name. Think Astronomy. Or keep it, it’s your creation.
When USUM was first getting leaked am I crazy or did the leaker say that Flygon gets Quiver Dance? Was that proven false?
Does not appear to be true from glancing at bulbapedia
Ugh welp there goes that… do you think Kingdra is bad competitively? I’m running that gimmicky critical set but I might change to Swift Swim. What do you think?
I have no clue, I don’t play competitively at all because I think it’s kinda bull
I can agree. If I ran Gamefreak for a day I would balance every Pokémon to be at least equally viable stat-wise.
Beat Totem Araquanid pretty easy with my Torracat, so that was nice. Should be able to go pick up my shiny charm now.
That’s cool! How did you win with Torracat
I used Fake Out then Body Slam twice while holding the Silk Scarf. I did have to revive it a couple of times. It only paralysed it on the second Body Slam, but it was in Fake Out KO range by the time I had revived Torracat back in. Still not bad, it was a level higher than Araquanid at the start but given the type disadvantage I thought that was OK.
Is anyone else really turned off by using the Choice items? I don’t like being limited to one move ?
Its the game you play, usually just gotta run the smart way
I usually run scarfed Darmanitan, Emboar, Heracross, Kommo-o and they slay (especially Heracross with Moxie boosts)
Okay based on the games I’ve played this year and since I won’t buy any more this year this is my best games of the year ranking. Will maybe follow up with a more detailed reviewed if people want to hear about a game they haven’t played. Note: Only will be about games that I’ve played, so some games can be left out.
1. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Do I need to say more? Expertedly crafted, wide world with the best exploration in any game to date, the combat is better than other Zeldas, everything about this game just clicks. Definitely in the best games ever category.
2. Super Mario Odyssey
Like BotW, it’s just expertedly designed. Might be on the easy side for a bit, but it’s varied, keeps refreshing and reinventing itself, lots of variety and tons of stuff to collect. Worthy follow up for 3D Mario.
3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Might not be to everyone’s tastes and it has some flaws, but damn this is the game I’ve been putting the most hours in the days right after release. Would have been my favorite if not for Zelda and Mario releasing this year that are more polished. Pick this up if you like a good story, like challenging and rewarding crazy combat and have 100 hours to spare.
4. Persona 5
It’s a bit in the same category as XC2, being very long and a grasping story. Didn’t finish it yet, and that’s mainly because the combat is not nearly as rewarding as any other turn based combat JRPG I’ve played. Will definitely revisit after I finished the other games on this list, it’s still on of the best JRPGs released ever.
5. Metroid: Samus Returns
Metroid’s back baby! Very fun and tight gameplay, only hampered by some slight annoyances. It’s over soon though, and can’t wait for MP4.
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
You all know this game. Take a great game and make it better, what can go wrong. #1 party driver.
7. Stardew Valley Switch
Excellent port of a game that helps you relax and makes you long after Animal Crossing. Will keep you busy but while there’s lot of stuff to do, it may seem a bit too longdreaded with a slight lack of variety in chores to do.
8. Splatoon 2
Great game, but just didn’t put many hours in it. It’s certainly a good upgrade from the previous one, but I lack the time to test out the online. Consider this a pending score.
9. Dragon Quest VIII 3DS
Great port of a classical game, some good additions, but the only damn problem is that this 80+ hours and I haven’t had the time to play it any further. You see that I have a problem with buying 60+ hour adventures games.
10. USUM
Ah, this is a well produced game. But released a year too late. This should have been what SM had to be in the first place. Worth its money, but not if you already played SM.
That’s all the games I bought this year! Well maybe except for Minecraft on Switch, but you all know Minecraft, no need for me to review it. If you have questions about one game you’ve been looking to buy, ask! 🙂
I’m goona make one of these but I haven’t even finished playing all the games I want to this year >.>
Mainly Hollowknight. Like, almost exclusively Hollowknight
The Climbing part of BoTW was cool and all, BUT WHERE IS MY HOOKSHOT, WHERE ARE MY IRON BOOTS, WHERE ARE ALL THE PUZZLES YOU NEED TO COME BACK TO BECAUSE YOU NEED X!
Non of that is needed though
Dual hookshots definitely are if they could integrate them correctly. You get to point when playing the game (like 100+ hours in) where climbing is tedious, especially in rain.
It isn’t needed, but a lot of the Things I love about the Zelda Series were done Poorly in BoTW. Still a Bitchin Game though.
Technically the Goron outfit boots are iron boots.
And one of the very few 3D Zelda games where you can’t go underwater
If we could I bet we’d see lots of ruins and wreckages of wagons, cities sunk into lakes and rivers, and corpses on the bottom of the lake. Also some dead Guardians.
That was one of the first things I did when I started (besides jumping off the starting cliff nekkid) was try to find some trez in the lake where the first korok was only to find out you can’t swim and you can drown in a foot of water
Ah.
They do Not Function as Iron Boots.
#DLC2
I hope it’s revolving restoring Hyrule or something. Honestly it’s way too depressing when walking around especially thinking how deadly and bloody the past was.
YASSS to this Team RR music! That old school music that first starts off when facing the first grunt was so nostalgic ???
Really Lillie a dang Clefairy? You aint want a Clefable? Did you not have a moon stone prior to this moment??
It was probably a Cleffa but recently evolved. Most likely it was an offspring of Lusamine’s Clefable.
Recently?! That thing is level 60! AND thats all she came to battle with!! ???
Hey give her credit she’s just beginning!
She lowkey helped with Reflect and Light Screen but then her Clefairy fainted and didnt send anything else out i was like dang… she really need to go back to Kanto lol
One thing that’s bad about Phermosa’s shiny (i love it though) is the when the Pokemon first appears it’s completely black, so it appears like it’s shiny at first glimpse.
uhh.. no
It kinda does, at least for me. At least just its’ abdomen.
Here’s what I think is Lillie’s team:
– Lvl. 60 Clefable (she gets it as a Cleffa from Lusamine after she breeds Clefable)
– Lvl. 65 Alolan Ninetales (see: S/M animé)
– Lvl 60 Lurantis (she receives it as an egg)
– Lvl 60 Aromatisse (Ultra Sun)/Slurpuff (Ultra Moon)
– Lvl 65 Florges (she catches it on her own)
– Lvl 70 Sylveon (she raises her own Eevee)
Whaddya think?
LMFAO that room with all the grunts going up to fight Archie really made me laugh… made me seem like i was gonna get caught off guard and jumped in the pokemon world ????

Hey, look, something that’s not a repost (Or maybe it is and I just don’t remember). Anyways, this is probably one of my favorite DBS endings, it’s very charming
Oh it’s official Alola topped Golbat with a new annoying Pokémon
F*cking TRUMBEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate this completely evil Pokémon, they out Speed everything, have way to f*cking diverse of a moveset for Being a bird (really supersonic and Rock smash, get the f*ck out!), gets Pluck super early and nothing resists it at this point, almost leveled my team from Mr.D*ck c*nt rising star Mikey himself
I hate Trumbeak as a whole and want it to die in a horrible fire
hey anybody here who can help evolve my Magmar?
Sure
i really love the concept of ice-type, but a lot of the monster designs just don’t do it for me. there are a few nice ones, though! i really like Glaceon, Articuno, Lapras, and Alolan Ninetales.
My waifu and I got called out https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1255af665d04af816c1559fe76ce977dfc6e992c490a2df9f608e1f3179b2b84.jpg
Hot damn
Well today was uneventful, if anyone has any enlightening comments or fart jokes now’s the time
Mitochondria is the power house of the cell….umm that’s all I can muster soo tired?
How about this meme https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/45897d6ad7988d6bda260bebbaf9f99993c197b68d2869e8fa69bb5bdada4b44.png
This guy on Twitter claims to have some kind of access to Gen 8 information, and apparently they knew some things about XY. Is there a chance that we’re getting a starter trio based on an ibex, raccoon/tanuki, and wolf? (Unsubstantiated rumors obviously, but this sounds like a great idea for a trio).
https://twitter.com/GekkougaLarry/status/937734210953064448
Fire would be the Ibex if true, since it stands in for the Goat Zodiac.
If we get a real goat starter… I refuse to change mine
We’d also get a raccoon..
I already have taken my Racoon starter out (replaced by Woberry), but I will always say I made the first before them
Not like they’ll be the same anyway.
I would think the Racoon/Tajikistan would be the Grass Starter.
Agreed with you and Monkeyfuzz, but I can’t really imagine a Water wolf. Doing some research shows that “sea wolves” do exist…in Vancouver. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/08/sea-oceans-wolves-animals-science/
SEA WOLVES
I’m swimming with wolves tonight,
I’m swimming with wolves tonight,
I’m swimming with wolves tonight,
I’m swimming with the wo-oooo-oo-ooo-oolves!!
(instead of running? It’s a song by Aurora) ._.
Not logical, wolves hate water ….wolf and Racoon kinda look similar this didn’t happen since gen1
Canada region here we come! It’s cold in Canada, right?
Grasscoon pwease?
I love the idea for a fire goat, though it may be best for it to stay pure Fire-type.
Fire/Rock and Fire/Steel say hi
Whelp time to follow him for a while. At least until it becomes clear they’re fake or not haha
I kinda hope that these aren’t the starters :/
fingers crossed! raccoon and wolf could both turn out awesome, i’d love to see it
I’m on my USUM adventures!! :DDDD
How are you doing with it so far?
US – Beat Hala, now I need to do the Photo thing.
UM – I am around before going to Big Wave Beach.
You’re playing them at the same time? Do you have 2 systems or do you alternate? Are you enjoying them?
Yes.
lol, every answer is a yes. I have two systems to trade Pokemon holding items with, but for the most part I play one at a time, not side-by-side.
I sincerely hope these leaks are true
I want a cute raccoon baby
I guarentee the final typings will be for these 3
Grass/Dark
Fire/Steel
Watee/Ghost (just seems fitting of a wolf)
Though on another hand
Since Goats do have a lot of devil affiliated myths surrounding them, it’s also possible the Goat would be Fire/Dark and the Raccoon could be pure grass or Grass/Fighting
I thought about that too, but then Incineroar. We’d have the whole Fire/Fighting thing again.
Maybe and I wouldn’t be suprised if a Goat also made Fire/Ghost as if they didn’t want a new trend then Ghost could be a healthy sub for it
Well, in a way that could work because the devil IS an evil spirit of sorts.
And a GF way to type it is Fire/Rock, but I do not want that. Swampert and Quagmire will my nightmares.
Well considering the rumour is an Ibex I wouldn’t rule out Fire/Rock or Fire/Ground. Also Raccoon could be Grass/Ghost, though idk if they’d do that twice in a row. There’s also the possibility of Grass/Fairy, basing it more on the Tanuki or other raccoon myths. A wolf is trickier since it needs to be different enough from other lupine Pokemon we already have. Of course these are all very early rumours.
You are right so I guess we have a good guess at what types will be, but you’re right that we shouldn’t get too complex into it
Though I will have to make a hard pick (unless ones design trumps the rest)

Nice wolf
One thing I’m actually crazy excited about for the Switch game is the ability to stream on twitch easily. Until now you’d need a capture card embedded into your 3ds. That takes money and time also. With Pokemon coming to the Switch I can just easily buy a general capture card and then plug it in. I’d like to try streaming at some point and since I shiny hunt it seems like a no brainier to do it on stream.
Lol PJ just followed that guy. Must be keeping an eye on him to see if there’s any actual info to come.
I wonder if they’ll still use the Zodiac for Fire Starters into Gen 12(when they will run out, unless they add cat like okami did) so far we have Dragon Rat Rooster Monkey Pig Dog and Tiger.
I imagine if Pokemon goes any further than that they’ll stop and use something different. I don wonder when the Pokemon train will end. It’s gotta stop sometime. It’ll be a sad day when it does tho
Well I just hope it goes out with a bang! Just imagine the very last pokemon game…a compilation of every thing they’ve learned over the years and and so much more! Such a beautiful thought! ?
I mean it’s been over 20 years… So…
Maybe after gen 12 they’ll make a reboot
I can’t help but feel like I’m partly responsible for this…let’s hope this guy knows what he’s talking about.

About to board the plane. 10 hour flight but i packed my Switch & fully charged 3DS + downloaded shows with the Netflix app so i’m all set 🙂
I just had the freakiest dream…
It was a gigantic meadowy gorge at night and I was apparently rooting in cliff side caves for loot and all of a sudden I hear BOTWs Guardian attack theme and I turn around to see Vah Naboris lining up an attack at me, the shock managed to wake me up but I quickly fell asleep and was right back where I started but out of the gorge, I just saw Vah Naboris just shooting beams at whatever got near, then some crap about knights on horseback and a tent full of phantoms
Maybe I should look into that CT Scan
I remade my Regional Bug and now, it’s a Powerful Bug/Normal Type with 500 BS and an ability that’s like built in Leftowers, tho you can only get it by getting its weak mid evo to level 40
My wincon just got frozen… today just isn’t my day huh…
Early game alolan mons are like death machine swimming through fucking molasses
Actual destruction but slow as shitt
Death Machine Swimming Through Molasses is a Good Band namd
