Wow, I never really noticed Rapidash's shiny sprite. It looks really beautiful. The flaming mane now looks like smoke. Well done, Game Freak! Now please change Dragonite's shiny sprite...

Hello, Joel! Welcome to the FoF. I've sent you a PM to answer your question, but don't post such questions in the club threads.

Fortunately for Joel, I don't have any grudge against him, otherwise he would've woke up very confused in Cuba (a cookie if you get the reference).

So, is anyone going to submit userbars? Otherwise I'd have to make one myself and bag the 100 points.

In my opinion, Rapidash's shiny sprite isn't that beautiful. I find it's non-shiny sprite to be much more lively and by reducing the colour and vibrant aesthetic appeal of its flames really detracts from its overall appearance. :< I would've thought perhaps a blue or a yellow alternation would be much better suited.

Jayster23 February 11th, 2012 4:00 AM

Yeah the sliver flames make it seem Fire/Ghost type.
Blue flames would have been interesting but the unoriginal because everyone thinks opposite of red flame would be blue.

d4rka8isz February 11th, 2012 4:01 AM

I think it looks pretty amazing! Someone has offered me a shiny Rapidash on Negotiations before, but in the end he/she stopped communications. But that's beside the point. I personally think that the silver flames make Rapidash look outstanding.

I don't like Chandelure's shiny form much. It loses the ghostly look and just becomes a lantern...

Blaziken's isn't that hot either. Blaziken's just gets darker and that makes it look... weird...

curiousnathan February 11th, 2012 4:08 AM

Yeah, I don't like shiny versions that alter the Pokemon's 'lightness' like chansey or blissey. :< I find them boring, and simply uncreative. I would've preferred a normal one tbh; same goes for eevee, just makes it look all wishy-washy. :/

joelzio123 February 11th, 2012 4:15 AM

I think that Ninetales shiny form is pretty cool! Because it looks like a ghost version :P

Hey! Do you guys think Blaziken is an Uber pokemon??

Hikamaru February 11th, 2012 4:51 AM

My fave Shiny form of a Fire-type would be Magmortar cos it's PINK!

d4rka8isz February 11th, 2012 5:30 AM

Sayan, you switched the '8' and the 'a' in my name.

Sayan February 11th, 2012 5:34 AM

I've seen people go gaga over shiny Charizard, but I don't like it that much. I think the shiny versions of some Pokemon with flaming features should have blue flames. Just imagine, how cool would a blue flame Arcanine look!

@Curious- I agree, the shiny Rapidash does lose some of its brightness. But I find it more than makes up for that with its increased elegance and laid-back appearance. To each his own, I guess.

@the user with an unpronunciable username- Sorry for that, I'll fix it now. PM or VM me for these type of complaints or errors instead of posting them here.

Ninetales has always been one of my favorites and the Shiny form is an even better version! :)

Charizard isn't that great and I think its Shiny form is...overrated? To many like it for my taste.

I find the Fire type Pokemon, maybe tied with the Grass type, the most disappointing in comparing the Original vs Shiny colorings. That's just my 3rd degree.

Jayster23 February 11th, 2012 7:59 PM

I like the shiny forms of the fire types that give them more powerful appearances like Charizard, Rapidash even Typhlosion.

Blaziken doesn't give off that appeal

Sayan February 12th, 2012 3:25 AM

Here're some of my favorite pics of Victini, the current PotW.


Avishka February 12th, 2012 5:05 AM

welcome to the club,Joel!!
@Sayan nice pics

Sayan February 12th, 2012 5:38 AM

Sector February 12th, 2012 7:43 AM

Another Victini Week!

Question of the Week?

"Which is Victini's highest base power non-STAB move?"


Hyper Beam and/or Giga Impact at Base Power 150....

☼ Who is your favorite Fire type Gym leader?
My favorite is Blaine. 2nd is Flannery. We need more Fire gyms.

☼ According to you which Fire type has the best shiny sprite?
Rapidash.

☼ Do you think Fire types can be used defensively?
No, I don't think so. With weakness to Water and Ground attacks and Stealth Rock, Fire types' lifespans are limited. On the other hand, Fire is great offensively, being Super effective on Steel. It hits most of the commonly used Steel types SE, unlike Fighting and Ground, which are not SE against stuff like Skarmory and Scizor. So Fire is best used offensively.

New topic-

☼ If the legendary Fire types Ho-oh and Reshiram got into a fight, who'd win?
This one I don't really know. I can't decide.

Reshiram without a doubt!

He can ancientpower all over Ho-Oh and that alone, can put Ho-Oh to hibernation mood.

May I please join?

Name- Cosmotone

Reason for joining- I like fire Pokemon. Some of them have awesome designs:D
Referred by- None

Welcome to the club Cosmotone!

I don't like tricky questions Sayan, but that's all you do. So here's my answer to the Question of the Week.
Spoiler:
Fusion Bolt after Fusion Flare is used. I hope.


As for who'd win, I'd say Reshiram because I prefer the fire dragon over the rainbow turkey any day.

Turkey? Always saw Ho-Oh as a Phoenix..at least that's what its suppose to be.

I thought it was a rooster, and that Moltres was the Phoenix. O_O

Sayan February 14th, 2012 7:59 PM

Welcome to the club, Cosmotone8!

IIRC, Ho-oh's Japanese name Houou means 'Phoenix'. Just sayin'.

The question still hasn't been answered correctly. Fusion Bolt/Flare's base power don't get doubled, the damage they deal is doubled. The last question was very easy so I had to make this one harder.

Btw, I've modified the whole 'topics' section in the OP. Check it out.
