  • Tough decision... Ninetales looks more elegant, but Arcanine is more powerful... I'm torn.

    Arcanine is a Legendary Pokémon... Does that count?

  • I'd have to go with Arcanine since I really liked that one episode in the anime with Growlithe and James, and I'm not a huge fan of Ninetales' design (even though I like foxes and fire types, I just like Fennekin's design more :))

    Arcanine all the way. It's my all time favorite and gets work done in pretty much every situation i'm put in.

  • Tough one if you ask me. I like both of them, but I think I prefer Ninetales. I used them both in Heart Gold and just thought that Ninetales was more reliable. I still like Arcanine, but Ninetales wins my vote for this round

  • I've always been a fan of Arcanine and I've never actually liked Ninetales. I didn't want a Vulpix when I had LeafGreen and I begged my friends for a Growlithe from their FireRed until I got one.

  • Ninetails.

    1. I like foxes
    2. Just look at her. look how majestic she looks
    3. sunny day. perfect for fire boosts and also for sunny day teams
    4. it learns moves like for example energy ball

    I think the only thing that is dragging her down a bit is her(or his) lack luster stats.(Game"troll"Freak why in the world do you keep making all potential good pokemon have weak stats and or terrible moves.). I also wish she was fire/psychic. but oh well. Ninetails is still overall a great pokemon.

  • Both competitively and in design, I feel like Arcanine comes out on top. Although I do like Ninetales and I'm using one in my current SoulSilver play-through, Arcanine has always been more of the standout to me.

  • Arcanine's majestic appearance certainly caught my eye. It was also neat that it had its own signature move in Gen II in the form of Extreme Speed before the move got better distribution.
