Only 1 new ice type
 
It's kinda a shame that there's only 1 new ice type pokemon actually. They are one of my favorite type so I really hope they will make some new designs in the next games. Because only one ice type which is not really cool is not enough. Kinda a bad job from the company. Disagree/Agree?

Leo the Lion December 13th, 2013 1:29 PM

Well, they only added 69 pokemanz and ~50% of them are fairy types, sooo....

Superfox December 13th, 2013 1:35 PM

They also only added one new Ground type.

Nah December 13th, 2013 1:35 PM

That's just how it is sometimes. They only introduced one Dragon (dragons are my favorite type) in Gen 2. Did that make me like Gen 2 any less? Not really. Maybe next time they'll have a bunch of ice types you like.

And just curious, what's your favorite ice type Pokemon?

Crossbows December 13th, 2013 1:37 PM

They actually added 2 new ice type pokemon. Aororus, and Avalugg. 4 new ice types if you count their pre-evolutions.

They also added 5 new dragon type. Zygarde, Noivern, Goodra, Tyrantrum, and Dragalge. More if you include their pre-evo's.

2 ground types as well, Superfox. Zygarde and Diggersby.

Chariz December 13th, 2013 2:00 PM

Yeah, I forgot about Aurorus. My favorite is type is Glalie.

BossBattle December 13th, 2013 3:54 PM

lol I also forgot about Aurorus too, and only remembered Avalugg. I hope in the next installment(s) they add an Ice-type wolf, that isn't legendary. I've wanted a wolf poke for so long (as in not wolf-like dog, but an actual wolf). One that looks like Tiger from Monster Rancher (I know, its ironic the wolf character is named an animal not it's species). If they did, I would love Pokemon for that more than I do now!

Hikamaru December 13th, 2013 5:06 PM

Well you have to take into account, that discounting Mega Evolutions, there were only 69 new Pokemon this generation so we knew there was going to be a lack of new Pokemon in certain types anyway. Plus they had a lot of Fairy-types among the new Pokemon as a way to showcase the new type, as well as retyping several old generation Pokemon.

In fact, the Skrelp line were the only new Poison-types this generation, while the Scatterbug line were the only new Bug-types. At least they made it up by introducing some interesting new type combinations.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 13th, 2013 6:11 PM

I wanted to see more interesting combos with Bug. At least they had one new combo with Ice/Rock.

Aeroblast December 13th, 2013 6:43 PM

Bug type is not Ice/Rock... That being said, I wish Zygarde was Dragon/Bug or something.

Flushed December 13th, 2013 6:48 PM

Only introduced one new Poison line in Skrelp. lol prove me wrong

Edit: Wow didn't even see Hikari's post.

There were enough Poison Pokemon in the first generation to suffice for the other five.

In all seriousness, though, certain types can be screwed over even in the most numerous generations. Gen IV only introduced four fire types total (The Chimchar family and Heatran), but I would say both Fire and Ice got some overdue love in Gen V. The types win some and lose some, I suppose.

大輔 December 13th, 2013 8:34 PM

I didn't really mind a single ice type since we now have fairy to tackle down the dragons. Plus there are still quite an abundant number of ice types in the game so I wasn't too worried

Zygarde has an alright typing.
Notice that I said "alright".
I didn't say good.
Even though it can be dead in an instant from an ice type move,it still is a pretty good sweeper with Dragon Dance and a Life Orb.(Plus STAB moves and a good nature!)

4O4 December 13th, 2013 9:41 PM

I really hope they add more pokemon plus add some more pokemon from the past regions instead of having very few pokemon. I felt the game didnt have enough pokemon in general.

Banned December 13th, 2013 10:52 PM

Ice-type Pokemon seem to always draw the short straw... They are terrible defensively, with Fire, Rock, Steel and Fighting super-effective and only Ice not very effective, and added to this there aren't many of them in ANY generation, and they always appear late in the game. Poor little guys.

Lol, is 454 not enough for you?

Speaking of that, here's all the new type combinations we got this generation, including those that were created when old generation Pokemon were retyped to Fairy:

Normal/Ground (Diggersby)
Fire/Normal (Litleo line)
Steel/Ghost (Honedge line)
Dark/Psychic (Inkay line)
Poison/Dragon (Dragalge)
Electric/Normal (Helioptile line)
Rock/Dragon (Tyrunt line)
Rock/Ice (Amaura line)
Fighting/Flying (Hawlucha)
Electric/Fairy (Dedenne)
Rock/Fairy (Carbink)
Steel/Fairy (Mawile and Klefki)
Ghost/Grass (Phantump and Pumpkaboo lines)
Water/Fairy (Marill and Azumarill)
Normal/Fairy (Jigglypuff line and Azurill)
Grass/Fairy (Cottonee line)
Psychic/Fairy (Ralts line, excluding Gallade and Mr. Mime line)
Fairy/Flying (Togetic and Togekiss)

That's actually a good amount of new typings we got this generation, especially a lot of ones involving Fairy-type.

Quinn December 14th, 2013 12:01 AM

I use the new Ice type in OU since it's a great pokemon really.

Disagree. Just because they didn't introduce more Pokémons of your favourite type doesn't mean a job done bad. There are few Pokémons in general of a type I like, doesn't mean they've done a bad job in general.

Mega Missingno December 14th, 2013 6:55 AM

I really didn't like Bergmite and Avalugg- hideous all around. I really would've appreciated a fairy/ ice type, at least, since they catered the game so heavily to fairies just wrecking face- especially with Team Flare. If they introduced the fairy type to wreck Dragons, then a fairy/ Ice type should've been introduced. Needlessly OP, perhaps, but funny as hell when it came to wrecking dragons

SpinoOne December 14th, 2013 7:13 AM

Though Avalugg looks badass and I'd love to use it, I don't like the fact that it's one of the "Amazing Def, Crappy SpD" Pokemon. Oh, it's also slow as hell, but it's perfect for a Trick-Room team. In fact, in a team like this, Avalugg can destroy every single Fairy type (well, maybe except Azumarill) with Gyro Ball.

Sounds more like Bullet Punch bait to me. XD

Anyway, I can't really complain about the lack of ice types, I didn't really care about them anyway. A few extra fighters and ground Pokemon would've been better, if y'ask me.

You talking about Avalugg? Is it really? You're not the first person to say its good. I look at it and don't think its that great. Sure, it has high Defense, Sturdy, Rapid Spin, and Recover, but it has a Stealth Rock weakness (which is ironic since it can spin), awful Sp.Defense and Speed, and a bad defensive typing.

Am I missing something here in regards to Avalugg?

I honestly laughed so hard when i saw Amaura's typing. 4x weakness to Fighting, 4x weakness to Steel, 2x weakness to Rock, 2x weakness to Ground, 2x weakness to Grass, 2x weakness to Water... it can't get much worse than that.

IcePrincess December 14th, 2013 11:55 AM

I love ice types (well, duh, my username!) so I was annoyed at this. My favorite ice type EVER is Glailie... (I can't spell, the one that evolves from Snorunt I think).
