Thread ownership has been transferred to Zylas - enjoy!

NOTIFICATION:

Due to the disappearance of Magnetic, as I said before I have become the new Cap'n of the Water Type Fan Club! As you might see, a couple of changes have been made, but nothing too major yet. Ideas are in the process of being formulated that have not yet come to surface (you see what I did there? Water? Shore? Surface? ...ah never mind). Anyways, I also realize some of the members have not been added to the members list, and I will get to doing that shortly. But for now, New Topic!

If you could Surf, Dive, or Waterfall on any Pokemon, who would it be and why?

Squirrel July 24th, 2013 1:01 PM

Seems like this club is headed in a good direction so I'd like to sign up!

Username/Nickname: AlexOzzyCake/Ozzy
Partner Pokémon: Despole the (male) Poliwrath
Reason for Joining the Club: Water types aren't my biggest love as they strike me as quite common and similar Pokémon, but they are an interesting type to discuss and I'd love to hear why people love them so much. I do like Water as a type on the whole (mostly due to the cute Pokémon!), but it's not a favourite just yet haha.
Top 3 Favorite Water Type Pokémon: Poliwrath, Horsea and Piplup!

As for the topic... I think I'd Dive with a Relicanth because it'd be awesome to see him in his natural habitat and because he'd be comfy/safe to cling on to with the way his back is supported, I'd Waterfall with a Gyarados because how freaking epic is that?, and I'd Surf with a Lapras for comfort and for ease since that's practically what she's designed for! What about you guys? Would you agree that Lapras is basically just made for Surfing? XD

Congrats for joining! However, if you didn't notice in the earlier posts you were already signed up :P. Anyway, I'll still change your partner Pokemon from Piplup to Poliwrath then :) .

Answer to the current topic:

To Dive, I would ride a Wailord, cuz it would be awesome to scare away all the lil' Magikarps as a giant whale passes by >:) . As for Surfing, I would ride a Sharpedo for the purpose of shooting across the sea from place to place with ease. To ride a Waterfall, Keldeo would be pretty cool because it would be like riding a unicorn across a rainbow except a unicorn on a waterfall {XD}

I remember I used to hang out in an earlier Water club, I'm glad it got remade, though I didn't rejoin. Until now, that is :)

Username/Nickname: Miau
Partner Pokémon: Pua the Jellicent(F) http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/3b/Ani593FMS.png
Reason for Joining the Club: I've always had at least a couple of Water types on my team in every run so far. I think there's quite some variety going on with them, as the Water type has been paired with every other type out there, except Fire. There's diversity in their designs too, some are cute, others fierce. Hehe, there's a Water type to please even the pickiest trainer!
Top 3 Favorite Water Type Pokémon: Frillish/Jellicent line, Tympole/Palpitoad/Seismitoad line and Tirtouga/Carracosta line! (I've chosen from the ones I've used the most, design-wise, it would be Milotic, Keldeo and Empoleon.)

Now for the current topic: If you could Surf, Dive, or Waterfall on any Pokemon, who would it be and why?

Let's see. I'd surf on Wailord, I think you'd be able to go quite far offshore on the back of a giant whale. I'd dive with Samurott, I would hold on to the pointy shell on its head and let it lead the way. He seems to be a very good swimmer and would prove quite reliable underwater. And I'm going to go with Ozzy on my last choice, going up a waterfall on top of a raging Gyarados would be pret-ty epic. As for Lapras, Ozzy, I'm still going with Wailord, you could travel with friends and have a lot of space. I remember Sapphire riding her Wailord in PokeSpe with Ruby and all their Pokemon. Though Ash, Misty and Tracey used to ride on Lapras's back all the time in the anime too, so I guess it would still work if you don't mind being a little cramped.

Welcome to the club MIAU! I also love the design of Empoleon and Keldeo! In fact, they're some of my favorite Pokemon! I must admit, I am a pretty picky trainer, but water types are so intriguing I seem to always become fond of them. As for riding on a Gyarados, I must agree that would be quite prodigious. If you haven't already, go ahead and check out the main thread to see some of the new features that we include that the other Water Type Club hasn't! Once again, welcome to The Sapphire Surf!

Surfing on a Wailord seems pretty comfy. I could probably fit everything I have in my room on top of it.

Whyvile July 26th, 2013 11:31 AM

If I were to surf, dive, or Waterfall (is that even a verb? :p) on any Pokemon, it'd have to be Blastoise, for the sheer idea of my mental image of Surf.

What is my mental image?

Blastoise Jetski.

Heck yeah.

Why stop there? Just build the whole house on his back and live on the floating island of a Pokémon. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, after all he is obliged to serve you hehe. I think using Wailord for Surf would be a lot more trouble than it's worth (you'd never even be able to cross a tiny river without killing the poor thing haha) but the spectacle would be very epic indeed.

Blastoise jet-skiing though? Hell yes. 8D

I don't know what you're taking about, my Wailord even fits in a subway car {XD}

And I was thinking, if Vaporeon has the ability to make itself invisible underwater, if you were to dive with it, would you be invisible too?

Welcome to the club Snowdrop, you've been added! I never knew that about Suicune, but that's pretty awesome!

Aslan July 26th, 2013 5:42 PM

To answer the current topic, wouldn't it just be badass to jetski on a Sharpedo? And with that Speed Boost, you'd get faster and faster, whizzing around the oceans at the speed of light. Hell yeah, outclasses any old Blastoise jetski. As for diving, perhaps a Dewgong! It'd be fun clinging onto its back, as it swims gracefully like a mermaid. And finally, just riding up a waterfall on a Mantine, with the Darth Vader theme playing. Badass. :)

Snowdrop July 26th, 2013 5:56 PM

^ Oh it's you with the cute avatar!

I forgot to answer about the diving part. I don't like being underwater, it's frightening D: It'd have to be in shallow water, so I'd pick... Floatzal or Buizel, that way it can just inflate those little floatie things covering its body and we'd be safe! :D

Why I like water types: You NEED Water-Types. They are always useful through-out the game, and you have to teach your Pokémon Water-Type only HMs such as Surf, Waterfall and Surf. Most baby Water Types are so kawaii, and the big Water-Types are very bulky. Anyone who asks me which starter to choose, I always so go for the Water-Type. :D
Top 3 Favorite Water-Types: It has to be Swampert, Dewgong and Squirtle. :3

If you could Surf, Dive, or Waterfall on any Pokemon, who would it be and why?
It would be a Wailord. It would be so awesome sitting on that thing! You could sunbathe on Wailord xD
Yeah. You could sit there and not fall of. It's awesome going underwater on a giant Wailord :)

Weeelcome to the club, Atif! Wailord all around hunh? Yeah, sometimes the biggest can be the best :P

It's been 3 days people! And we all know what that means... (or at least I think some of us do) Neeeew Topic!

What would be your favorite sub-type to Water Pokemon and why? The water type has had a second type to all except fire, so if you could would you prefer a Water/Fire Pokemon instead?

I'll go with Water/Ground types. I like the immunity to Electric attacks that negates Water's weakness, and how Ground's weaknesses (Water and Ice) are balanced out by the Water typing. I'd say it's one of the best dual typings, despite the 4x weakness to Grass :(

As for Water/Ground Pokemon, my favorite is Seismitoad. With two powerful STAB attacks like Hydro Pump and Earthquake, or Drain Punch and Venoshock in case its Poison Touch activated, I really loved using her in-game.

Whyvile July 28th, 2013 12:28 PM

Gonna go with Water/Ground. Water covers a lot of Grounds weaknesses, and Ground covers up Water. The only problem is the double weakness to Grass, but better than nothing :/

Squirrel July 28th, 2013 1:01 PM

I'd like to see Water/Electricity have another chance to shine. Chinchou and Lanturn were very cool Pokémon and I enjoyed using them, but they certainly weren't the definition of strong which is a shame given their unique stab at an interesting typing. They're such conflicting elements which somehow manage to intertwine together so perfectly - the Pokémon would be a walking metaphor of power and elegance if it were to succeed haha. What do you guys think?

Hikamaru July 28th, 2013 2:40 PM

What would be your favorite sub-type to Water Pokemon and why? The water type has had a second type to all except fire, so if you could would you prefer a Water/Fire Pokemon instead?

I was always a fan of the dual Water/Ground-types like Seismitoad, Swampert, Gastrodon and Quagsire. The typing itself has just a single weakness, a very crippling one to Grass-types. It does negate Water's most threatening weakness, Electric and that's a good thing since most have Grass counters (like Ice Beam and Blizzard) but not all have a good Electric counter.

As for how a Water/Fire-type would work? They'd have to think of something encompassing both elements, but I wonder how they'll pull it off. I mean, we've had some unusual "conflicting" type combinations pulled off like Bug/Fire and now Dark/Psychic.

Snowdrop July 28th, 2013 8:06 PM

Maybe a good (but probably not) idea for a Water/Fire Type would be a Pokemon based off of one of those underwater volcanoes, or those tube worms that can thrive in ridiculously hot water. Or, I remember seeing a video depicting the Loch Ness Monster as a water-dwelling serpent that could breathe fire so something like that could work as well.

Username/Nickname: Batto.

Partner Pokémon: Kingler.

Reason for Joining the Club: Overall, Water types are my favourite type. 9/10 Water Pokemon have so much character. From Slowpoke to Totodile. There all fun Pokemon. I have been looking to join a club for a while, And i think this is the one for me.

Top 3 Favorite Water Type Pokémon:
1. Lapras; Such a majestic Pokemon. I actually use one in my party. The fact that they are described as singing songs, using telepathy & Don't enjoy fighting really makes me pay attention to this amazing Pokemon. And for that. Lapras is my favourite water type. If it wasn't already taken. This would of been my partner Pokemon.

2. Kingler; Now, This is why Kingler is a close second in my favourite water type.
"Behavior: They wave their huge claw in the air to communicate with others. However, because the claw is so heavy, the Pokémon quickly tires." How amusing is that?! This proves my point on how water Pokemon has such interesting personalities. Not to mention that Kingler has the highest base stat in attack out of ALL water types.
This is why Kingler is my partner Pokemon.

3. Goldeen; Now, Goldeen would have to be in my favourites just because of its voice in the cartoon. The whole "Goldeen Goldeen.. Goldeen Goldeen!" Is really cool. & I use alot of Pokemon that use physical moves in game. So Goldeen is a sort of "EV training partner" As i clean out the pond between Ecruteak City & Mahogany Town. :)

Current Topic:
*What would be your favorite sub-type to Water Pokemon and why? The water type has had a second type to all except fire, so if you could would you prefer a Water/Fire Pokemon instead?*


Swamperts water / ground type is interesting. As it cancels out electricity attacks. Correct me if I'm wrong but i think that leaves it open for x4 super effective moves from grass types, So yeah. But still. That is my favourite matchup.
As for the water / fire.. It just doesn't make sense. If anything that would leave the game open for a brand new type "Steam."

So, Im quite eager to join this club. I will be looking forward to a reply. :)
If it would be possible. Could the Club manager like this post when he/she has replied?
As it would alert me quicker. Instead of looking for the thread. But if not. All goods.
