Member list up-dated!
Thanks for joining, everyone!

Now, for the 1st topic:

Would you like to see a Gym leader that specializes in flying-types that are not birds?

Froslass March 25th, 2011 10:11 AM

Hm, that's difficult to say.
I suppose I would or wouldn't, can't make up my mind.. :/

SmashBrony March 25th, 2011 10:14 AM

I would most DEFINTLY want to see at least 1...
EVERY SINGLE Flying-type Gym leaders so far specializes in birds...

Meganium March 25th, 2011 11:10 AM

Would you like to see a Gym leader that specializes in flying-types that are not birds?
Togetic/Togekiss are not birds. Randomly speaking, I'd like to see a gym leader that has a team of Togekiss. :P

gunnerpow7 March 25th, 2011 3:35 PM

Would you like to see a Gym leader that specializes in flying-types that are not birds?

Yes! The Hoppip Family aren't birds but are Flying types so I would love to see a gym leader using these Pokemon!

Regeneration March 26th, 2011 4:12 AM

Would you like to see a Gym leader that specializes in flying-types that are not birds?
Hmm.. Which Pokemon would such a gym have? Pokemon like Butterfree, Crobat and Salamence? I'd say no, because we generally associate such Pokemon with their primary types. The birds are well suited, and can be equally challenging anyway.

In that case, there'd be NO flying-type gyms...
Because ONLY Tornadus has Flying listed as it's first type.
All the birds have flying as their SECOND type.
Examples:
Pidgeot (& several other birds) is Normal THEN Flying, Skarmory is Steel THEN Flying.

No, that is not what I meant. I meant that certain Pokemon are recognised by a specific type. For example, even though Crobat is Poison/ Flying, I'd find it odd if it was present in a Flying Type gym. There's nothing wrong in it, just that it would suit Crobat better if it was used in a Poison type gym. I hope you understood what I meant? Same case for Butterfree and Dragonite.

Actually, a few exceptions exist as well. For example, on the fourth rematch with Winona in Pokemon Emerald, she uses a Dragonite.

Oh, I see...
I would reconize Jumpluff, Salamence & Drifblim as primary Flying types...
Drifblim & Jumpluff for riding the winds, Salamence because of it's line long-held dream of flying.

Meganium March 29th, 2011 10:05 PM

I would also like to see a team of Hoppip, Skiploom and Jumpluff, but they're more suitable for a grass-type gym. Bug types such as Flygon and Butterfree are also good choices for Flying-type gym leaders.

SmashBrony March 30th, 2011 10:10 AM

I feel it's time for a new topic...

But what is it?

It's whatever the first person to post a new topic idea choses!

This way, your imagenations can take flight!

*Rules are up-dated*

Regeneration March 30th, 2011 10:14 AM

Oh yeaaaah! I'm hijacking this opportunity.

If you could have any one Flying type Pokemon forever, which one would it be and why?
I think this is one question asked really frequently, but still, it's quite interesting. XD;

Ok, as the rules now state, there must be 5 reponses to this topic before a new one will be appected.

In reply to this topic:
I'll have Togekiss... for this is the pokemon of whom my name will feature forever on Pokecommunity.
& it's a pretty dang good pokemon!
I wonder how well it'll do on 5th gen OU...

Meganium March 30th, 2011 10:25 AM

Mine would be Unferzant (the male form). It's so pretty, and I can make good use of its moves. Unferzant can also make a good forever friend.

Regeneration March 31st, 2011 10:41 PM

If you could have any one Flying type Pokemon forever, which one would it be and why?
I'd have Altaria I guess. It is really fluffy and cute and would make a good, soft pillow other than being used for flying to distant places. <3

gunnerpow7 March 31st, 2011 10:46 PM

Mine would be Tropius because there's Airline Food... XD And can protect me from sunlight..

Hello Suicune, you're on the list!

Regeneration May 5th, 2011 4:12 AM

Time for some generic new topics! ^^;

Which is your favourite Flying type move?

What do you think about the absence of any pure Flying type Pokemon other than Torandus (and Arceus)? Should there be more pure Flying types?

Which is your favourite Flying type Pokemon owned by Ash?

SmashBrony May 6th, 2011 10:49 AM

There was supposed to be 1 more reply to the previous topic, but the reply limit is probaly what almost killed this club...
(Regenation, thanks for making new topics anyways!)

From now on, people can make new topics whenever.

In reponse to the 3 new topics:

Which is your favourite Flying type move?

I've never used it, but I think I'll say Hurricane anyways.


What do you think about the absence of any pure Flying type Pokemon other than Torandus (and Arceus)? Should there be more pure Flying types?

I'd like to see more... A LOT MORE!!!
All the other types have plenty of pokemon that are purely of that type, I'd like to see Flying have plenty of it's own pure pokemon.
Especially if one of them is a Eeveevolution!



Which is your favourite Flying type Pokemon owned by Ash?

I don't watch the anime...
So I honestly can't say...

That's interesting...

I thought Zorua & Zoroark were Dark types...

Regeneration May 26th, 2011 1:49 AM

Which is your favourite Flying type move?
Air Slash.. because it sounds so cruel. >D Jokes aside, I like that move because of it's flinch rate, which when coupled with Togekiss' Serene Grace is a disaster for anybody.

What do you think about the absence of any pure Flying type Pokemon other than Torandus (and Arceus)? Should there be more pure Flying types?
Well, I myself never knew of this until I read a little piece of trivia somewhere. Since it didn't bother me for 4 generations, it would still be the least of my concerns. :p

Which is your favourite Flying type Pokemon owned by Ash?
Noctowl because it's shiny.

And some new topics, perhaps?
Which region do you think houses the best Flying types?

Which was your first Flying type Pokemon?

SmashBrony May 27th, 2011 10:38 AM

Koen, you're now on the list with Shaymin(Sky Forme) & Shiny Swellow.

Which region do you think houses the best Flying types?
This is a tough one...

Hoenn intoduced us with Salamence & Rayquaza, Sinnoh gaves us Togekiss...
& Onuva (this is the name of the newest region, right?) gave us the genies...

Which was your first Flying type Pokemon?
Pidgey.


pokewalker May 29th, 2011 6:28 AM

Which region do you think houses the best Flying types?
Hoenn with Swellow :D
Which was your first Flying type Pokemon?
Pidgey, which later became my Pidgeot which also was my first pokémon ever caught in Yellow.

WHY THE HECK HAVEN'T I JOINED THIS YET


Name - Hooh54
Why do you want to join? - Bird Pokemon are awesome. Flying types are awesome. Let's just say I'm the craziest Flying fan ever.
Partners? Ho-Oh, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Braviary, Mandibuzz :3


OH AND TO ALL ELECTRIC, ROCK, AND ICE TYPES


Ho-Oh used Earthquake! Ho-Oh used Earthquake! Ho-Oh used Sacred Fire!



Which is your favourite Flying type move?

Tied between Hurricane and Fly, both are amazing moves.

What do you think about the absence of any pure Flying type Pokemon other than Torandus (and Arceus)? Should there be more pure Flying types?

Not really needed, in fact, being Normal/Flying benefits some Pokemon, as they can also get a STAB with Tackle for example. I'm guessing the absence of most pure Flying types are because of birds being considered "normal" (in the bird flyers anyways).

Which is your favourite Flying type Pokemon owned by Ash?

Tied between his Tranquill/Pidove, Staraptor, and Pidgeot, I also feel sorry for them as he only uses them mostly for lookout, his birds are barely used.

What was your first Flying type Pokemon?

My precious little Starly, who is now a Staraptor.

What do you feel about Pikachu & Raichu being on the list?

Eh, I mean, yes, they can learn fly, but that doesn't make them ANY MORE Flying, they're Electric, plus flying is weak to electric.

Have you ever had a Pikachu or Raichu that knows Fly?

Nope, never had or will.

It was a bit odd to see them on the list and at first I thought it was a joke. I later found out that it could learn Fly via some 'special' method. XD

And no, I've never had a flying Pikachu.

To tell the truth, I had a Surfing Pikachu, but never a Flying one...

Which is your favourite regional bird (or evolutionary line)?

Hikamaru June 21st, 2011 12:29 AM

Name - Hikari10

Why do you want to join? - Flying types are awesome!

Partners? - Staraptor, Swanna, Pelipper, Unfezant, Xatu, Honchkrow

Which is your favourite Flying type move? - I love Aerial Ace and Air Slash the best. Coolest Flying attacks.

What do you think about the absence of any pure Flying type Pokemon other than Torandus (and Arceus)? Should there be more pure Flying types? - I don't know cos if they use Roost they will be Normal-type for the turn used. Maybe that's why they didn't introduce a pure Flying type until Generation 5 when they revealed Tornadus.

Which is your favourite Flying type Pokemon owned by Ash? - Staraptor, my fave birdy!

What was your first Flying type Pokemon? - Taillow cos my first games were in Generation 3.

SmashBrony June 21st, 2011 1:10 PM

Hikari10, you're on the list now.

I think a good team would consist of:

Swellow
Pidgeot
Staraptor
Braviary
Mandibuzz
Togakiss

Which is your favourite regional bird (or evolutionary line)?

Gah, I love them all! If I had to pick, it would be Starly, my first bird.

Why do you want to join? Because Wind is my favorite element, and thus I basically I love flying. <3
Partners? Togekiss, Altaria, & Swanna

Which is your favourite regional bird (or evolutionary line)?
The Pidgey line. I just love the scruffy-like feathers on Pidgey. It looks like it would have been a fun Pokemon to cuddle. And Pidgeot is cool.

Skip Class July 18th, 2011 10:07 PM

Name: zappyspiker

Why do you want to join: Because my in game teams would never be about to finish the game without flying types. Flying types are quite unique to the others types. They seem to have so much freedom. And even so flying types have a competition dedicated to them (PokéRinger) which is one of my favorite types of contest

Partners: Pidgey

Which is your favourite regional bird (or evolutionary line)?

PIDGEY! Well it is my partner xD Pidgey was the first pokemon that I ever caught when I started playing pokemon!

15israellai July 19th, 2011 4:36 AM

Do add me plz :D
Name: 15israellai obviously~(hmm should I have used a faker name instead?)
Why I want to join: If I were to do a monotype run I would use flying types. And I tend to use multiple flying types in my teams. One more note: many flying-types are fast!
Partners: I don't totally understand - you mean my team? If so, crobat, staraptor, gliscor for now. I also like Togekiss though, for its deadly Air Slash (more generally its spA).

Charizard★ July 19th, 2011 6:33 AM

Name? Charizard★
Why do you want to join? I'm a flying time fan :)
Partners? I'll take Ho-Oh and Moltres. Because I don't see Charizard up there :P


SmashBrony July 24th, 2011 8:07 AM

Sorry I've been gone so long... The computer had serious problems, but is fine now. But it's a little slow right now, so I'll up-date the member's list later. (don't worry, you're all members, so you can partake in the discussion of flying pokemon.)

New topic to mark my return:

Which normal/flying is best in your opinon?

I say Togekiss. It can take & give hard-hitting moves.

The others tend to be frail...

alisaie July 24th, 2011 10:39 AM

Which normal/flying is best in your opinion?
Mnn... if we're talking competitively, then Togekiss would indeed be the one who is the "best". If we were not talking competitively, Togekiss is still on the list, but I also kind of want to say Pidgeot and Staraptor. n_n Braviary is cool as well (it's normal/flying, right?)

Skip Class July 24th, 2011 4:12 PM

Which normal/flying is best in your opinon?


Well I don't really competitive battle so I'd say Pidgeot. Always been a really valuable member of my in-game teams

archeops14 August 11th, 2011 8:59 AM

Reviving this.

I agree with Togekiss being the best Normal/Flying type. It has a fairly good Sp. Attack.

Skip Class August 11th, 2011 12:33 PM

Stats-wise togekiss is pretty good not just of it's fairly good Special Attack but it's got a fairly good Defense and Special Defense as well... to bad it's speed and attack power isn't as high up as the rest of the stats though

alisaie August 16th, 2011 3:20 PM

Well, it doesn't really need Attack power if it has it's Special Attack Power. Out of the move it learns, it's S. Attack moves are better than his Attack moves for the most part anyways. Least that's the feeling I got when I used Togekiss myself. I will agree on it's Speed though. Still, it's a wonderful Pokemon to use. I have one on my Platinum named Mithos and I love him. <3

Guy August 18th, 2011 5:21 AM

Unfortunately guys, I'm going to have to close this thread due to club owner's request. Stoney is having internet trouble so she won't be able to keep up with the club. If any of your are interested in remaking it though, feel free to.
