Should there be a male version of Smoochum/Jynx?
... Gosh no. The sheer thought of that is worrying! Although I always thought this was kind of Mr Mime? Hmm... Even so, I don't think a male Jynx would lend itself well to the game. A manly Pokemon going around kissing things? Might not be well received... xD |
Quote:
i thought Jynx was based on a Dutch traditional character called 'Zwarte Piet' (or 'Black Pete', if you'd translate it literally). they're the helpers of the Dutch equivalent of Santa Claus (Sinterklaas) and well, those are mostly male as well.. XD; and they don't go around kissing things, either... ... but i do think a male pokémon with a black face and huge red lips may be scary. i dunno. when i was younger i didn't like Jynx herself much either. maybe they should make a male smoochum though. i think that could be really cute.. XD; |
Jynx looks like a female Pokemon, and I even think it's a weird looking Pokemon. Having a male Jynx=Creepy

Should there be a male version of Smoochum/Jynx?
Nonono. Since Jynx is really feminine herself, having a male counterpart seems a little too extreme for my liking. >< |

I think that Game Freak should try to make a counterpart and see if it makes the cut. The way they make Pokemon is have a bunch of employees make sketches and submit them. Then the "judges" pick a few for each type that will be in the game. |

And the second place I make a bee-line to is the special kingdom of Ice :3
As for the topic: I honestly don't think Nintendo will even consider touching Jynx :/ Too much controversy revolving her and the black stereotype :x And I believe she's based off of something from Norse mythology... close to dutch... but, not quite x3 I'd also prefer that she not be touched. I love Jynx. She's a nice independent fighter who works hard for the money (so you better treat her right ;)). Pokemon don't need male counterparts to make them any more complete. |

New Topic: If you could take any ice pokemon to a Ski Resort, which would you take and why?
I assume we're talking about a standard ski resort here x3 My answer would be Mamoswine. Mamoswine is my second favorite after Swinub and could be useful around a ski resort. Mamoswine can be used for heavy lifting, touring the resort on its four limbs, or searching out hidden hot springs. I also figure that it should still have that ability to discover hidden hot springs an evolved Pokemon :3 It'd also be nice to have him around in-case of any ice-related emergencies like Avalanches. I figure that Earthquake would be very handy in clearing snow. I love helping out people so there's also that. Power is a very nice thing to have :3 If the ski resort were more aquatic in nature, I'd probably pick Lapras for similar reasons. Cute, tough, and reliable for the win <3 |
ARCANA FAMIGLIA IC Thread | OOC Thread[Rated T] Setting You are a member of the Arcana Famiglia, a proud family of gifted individuals, each of whom have made a contract with a certain Arcana card. The Arcana cards are items of huge power which will lend their strength to a human upon forming a contract with them and swearing their loyalty. Each card has different effects, some of which are more powerful than others, and each card presents itself as an Arcana mark tattoo somewhere on the host's body. Arcana cards work using the host's emotions as power, so in order to master the power of an Arcana card, the host must have full control over their emotions or the powers won't work as hoped. Only those proven to have a deep connection to their emotions and the power and dedication to sustain a contract are selected to host an Arcana card and are invited to become part of The Familigia; not all members are related by blood but there is a well established connection between certain bloodlines and their affinity to hosting the Arcana cards so many family members share the same ancestors. Having a contract with an Arcana card also lends the user powers when their emotions are high such as increased strength, vitality, speed, or even in some cases the ability to conjure and control balls of pure energy. Losing control of emotions whilst using Arcana powers can be fatal; therefore only the best are selected to join The Famiglia. There are a grand total of 22 major Arcana cards, all of which are governed and controlled by card #21, The World. The Famiglia, led by their ‘Papa’, uses these powers to help their sunny trading island of Regalo survive any threats that become it and act as the island's government by ruling it in sectors. Set 30 years after the death of Mondo, the family's most beloved Papa to date, the island has become a bustling hub of peace and activity abound with docks and markets as far as the eye can see. Such a busy place obviously attracts a lot of crime but this is easily dealt with by Sword, the family’s defence and policing division, leaving the criminals unlikely to re-offend whilst Sword remain vigilant. Coin, the family’s economic sector, has run the economy well since the retirement of their previous leader Debito and as a result form a staple part of the island's structure whilst working alongside the other sectors of the house to ensure the community thrives. There is a large mansion with impressive steel gates and countless looming statues atop a steep hill in which the Arcana Famiglia resides, overlooking the serene sea-side town below with pale yellow buildings and canvas roofs abound. The city is often full of market stalls and boats coming to the island for trading, providing a warm and friendly atmosphere all year round. Almost every point on the island overlooks the vast blue ocean surrounding them, making it the perfect place for a little R&R. 30 years ago Mondo, the holder of The World card, passed away leaving his title and Arcana contract to Nova, his son-in-law. The holder of The World card is responsible for maintaining the power, contracts and stability of all other Arcana cards and is given the title of 'Papa', making them the head of the family. Cards being left without contracts or cards forming unstable contracts with their holder take more energy from The World to sustain, resulting in the host's life force being drained and leading to a premature death if contracts are not established for the remaining cards. Felicita, Nova’s wife and the ‘Mama’ of the family, has a contract with two cards one of which is The Wheel of Fortune which she regularly uses to ease the burden that Nova carries, but as the life force continues to drain from him time is running out and The World needs a new host. Plot In his early childhood, Nova was abused constantly by his father and his powers were exploited by his family as a chance of getting rich; this became too much for Nova to bear and so his Arcana powers went out of control. His contract at the time was with card #13, Death, giving him the power to put people to sleep instantly, resulting in him cursing both of his parents with a never-ending sleep. After Mondo’s passing and Nova gaining the powers of The World card, he used it to break his contract with Death and in turn broke the curse on his parents; however only his father Moreno awoke from the eternal slumber leaving his mother deceased. This caused Moreno unimaginable suffering knowing what his son had done to him and his wife and thus he swore revenge to show Nova just how it feels to be turned on by your own family. He pretended to be grateful for Nova saving him from the sleep and worked his way into the family to the point where he was able to make a contract with card #15, The Devil, giving him the power to control the emotionally weak to act at his whim. After having received this contract, Moreno disappeared from the family for 2 years with no trace leaving a huge strain on The World and therefore Nova as a conflict arose within the emotion of the Arcana cards. After 2 years had passed Nova became too weak from the strain of The World to continue ruling the family and so passed on his responsibilities to his childhood companion Liberta, the family’s executive head and second in command, whilst he focussed his energies on maintaining the stability of The World. Moreno heard of this news and took it as an opportunity to use the powers that he had been training since obtaining his Arcana contract and so contacted the Famiglia with threats of war. These threats were accepted by the family as they needed The Devil card back in their possession before the strain became too much for Nova to survive with and they assumed that one old man couldn't be any kind of a threat to them. However, when Moreno arrived at the Famiglia’s house, he brought with him an army of warriors prepared to fight on his behalf, resulting in large bloodshed on both sides as the war raged on and powers grew stronger. A man named Luca, the family’s adviser, finally managed to work out where Moreno’s army was coming from as he had made a contract with The Devil, allowing him to control emotionally-weak people as his slaves and thus creating a huge army of those that had not learnt to deal with their emotions. They made for angry and vicious fighters as their rage and sadness was exploited by Moreno but just as all seemed hopeless for the family, Nova concocted a plan to stop the army’s assault. He gathered the family together to find someone worthy of contracting with one of the most powerful Arcana of all; #1 The Magician, and eventually Luca was found to be the suitable host. He then used this power to amplify his previous Arcana, #14 Temperance, and use it to severely cripple Moreno’s powers and therefore release most of his army from his control. A few fighters still remain which Moreno sends in waves to attack the Famiglia, but whilst Luca remains strong the army stays small. Due to the huge strain caused by these events, Nova grows ever weaker and is in desperate need of a new contract to be formed with The World before it becomes too much to handle and he dies. However, such an important and powerful card cannot be given to simply anyone, so it’s now up to you to see who gets the card and the title of ‘Papa’. A tournament called the Arcana Duello has been organised to take place late in the year in which everyone with an Arcana contract will participate to test their powers and see who’s strongest, and the winner will be granted one wish from Nova whilst becoming the new ‘Papa’ of the family. However Luca has been growing tired from the years of suppressing Moreno causing his powers to weaken by the day, so it’s only a matter of time before Moreno will get his chance to strike again.

If you could take any ice pokemon to a Ski Resort, which would you take and why?
Froslass! She floats, so she doesn't need to stay on the snow ground like I do. She's light compared to its counterpart Glalie, so if I accidentally bump into her, it wouldn't hurt that much, lol. And yeah, she'd be able to retrieve me from the snow with her ghostly powers. B) |
Time for a new topic in here!
Which Ice type Pokemon would you like to see a baby version of?I'd like to see a baby Sneasel, that would be utterly adorable! I reckon a baby Swinub could be pretty cute too, just because tiny fluffy pigs are by default. x] Ownership has been transferred to Snow Phoenix. Enjoy! |
Which Ice type Pokemon would you like to see a baby version of?
Ooo. I was actually quite satisfied with the pre-forms of our Ice types x3 I actually don't think that Swinub needs a pre-form :O Even though... I'm like the Swinub king xD Swinub is perfectly fine as is :) And it'd be weird having 4th forms all of a sudden x.x If anything... I'd go with Sneasel and Lapras. Sneasel has room for improvement... or rather... to get lower in the hierarchy and have that baby form. Lapras tho would be really amazing with a baby form :O Lapras is big and bulky with no other forms. Plus Lapras already makes a study Pokemon in battle. I could definitely imagine a weaker baby form :O And it'd be adorable <3 BABY NESSY <3 Oh and please treat me well as your new owner x3 I'm a bit busy like... RIGHT NOW... I'll probably work on some kind of revamp during the weekend :) Enjoy the new topic. This one is courtesy of your Mod, but I have a slew to power through myself. |
Which Ice-type Pokémon would you like to see a baby version of?
Lapras. I couldn't fathom the fact that such an enormous creature would emerge from an egg. XD Plus I'm sure it would turn out looking adorable. :3 |
-Grey Cloud
-I love Ice pokemon, they're my favorite type :D -Dewgong :) Which Ice-type could use a baby? -Baby Sneasel hands down! |
Sheesh :x Only Alex, Hal, and I have posted since the last topic. It's been about two weeks since the last topic and I find that it is reasonable to label those who have not posted since then as "non-active" members. Being labeled as a "non-active" member is NOT bad at all. It's only an incentive to make a post here in the club. As soon as a post is made, you will return to the "active" members list. I am officially setting the minimum activity to be considered "active" to a post every two weeks.
I would also like to start up some sort of activity weekly or monthly. Since I am being enthusiastic, I will TRY weekly. x.x Wish me luck. I have also decided to add a featured Pokemon of the week. Also as incentive to post, members (yes, you can vote if you join after this post or "reactivate") may vote for the featured Pokemon. The voting will end this Wednesday at 9:00 CST. If anyone would like to provide prizes for events or suggest future events, please PM or VM me. Thank you <3 Defend our Ice types :x Update: Halcyon and Grey Cloud have started our Active member list. Congrats! (And of course AlexOzzyCake. Derp.) |
Glad to see this club increasing in activity.
Edit: I definitely nominate Frost Rotom :) http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/bd/479R.png It's Rotom in his refridgerator forum and becomes Electric/Ice. |
For the Pokemon of the Week I suggest Sneasel; it's an incredibly diverse and useful Pokemon to use in battle (in its own tier ofc) and it looks amazing; it manages to be both cute and tough at the same time! Now I think this place is in dire need of a new topic. :3
Which Ice type Pokemon has the most interesting typing?Imo it's down to three: Mamoswine, Froslass and Weavile. Abomasnow is worth mentioning too, but his typing is so awful that it's embarrassing. xD I think Ground/Ice is an incredibly useful typing for an offensive Pokemon like Mamoswine, but unfortunately he suffers greatly with tonnes of weaknesses. It's a shame since Mamoswine could be an utterly amazing Pokemon if it didn't die every couple of hits! Ice/Ghost typing from Froslass is also very interesting as it's just two unusual types that you wouldn't expect to see together; they don't really help or hinder each other and it actually makes for quite a boring Pokemon to use considering its only real strategy is to hide in the hail, but its a quirky typing nonetheless. Then finally the Ice/Dark typing brought here by Sneasel/Weavile... That's certainly a useful typing considering the moves it gets from it, but I can't help but think it should've gone to a different Pokemon. The types themselves suit a fast thieving Pokemon design-wise, but battle-wise they're terrible types to go together and they greatly hinder this already fragile Pokemon. Give it to a bulky Pokemon and maybe it'll work out well, but on the weakinglings that currently have it they're a death waiting to happen. Let's just hope Weavile can out-speed a Mach Punch! |
I want to put up my nomination, and I'm going with this frosty treat:
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d4/584Vanilluxe_Dream.png I love Vanilluxe, it's one of my fave Ice-types and I feel sorry for all the hate it gets. Everyone who rants about it says "Nintendo are running out of ideas!". But I love Vanilluxe and it's amazing. That's why I'm nominating this two-headed ice cream. |
