There should be a Freeze-move. Freeze is just as cheap as Sleep, so I think it's perfectly valid to make one.
I so so agree. It should be called
Frostbite.
---
Weather, expecially snow coverage and sea ice, depending on the actual date, as we have pokemon limited to real-time night now. Outfits should also change, as well as the location and finding of pokemon.
Did I mention sea ice? Yes, iceberg with possibility to "ride" on them, just not as a reliable transportation method, just for the realistic niche.
I want the next region to be based upon the Sakhalin island-lots of Ice-types!
Abilities: We need an Ice-version of Water/Volt Absorb, as well as a non-Uber pokemon with Drizzle and Drought. And of course, new traits for pokemon representing the four seasons, as I'm about to mention.
New pokemon: Four beings representing the four seasons, each can be caught only according to the real season (and if you live in the northern or southern hemisphere).
1) First, my love, the winter-
Ice/Ghost, the Subzero pokemon, having the Moister Cloak trait, giving it immunity to both Water and Ice (it doesn't make much sense that Winter itself should be harmed by Blizzards, isn't it?). Water-type aspects and a unique move of
Rigid Air-making any foe beeing hit by Icy Wind (and losing speed) at the end of each turn.
2) Second, the spring-Grass/Water typing, the Sustenance pokemon, having the blessed Rain trait, making it immune to any disadvantage of any non-Rain weather effect, making it immune to Hail and Sandstorm damage, giving it 100% powered Water-type moves in Sun, and even healing 1/2 HP by Synthesis, Morning Sun and Moonlight, while still retaining an inability to freeze in Sun. Psychic-type aspects and a unique move of
Fragrance Wind-a Grass-type version of Ominous Wind/Silver Wind/Anceintpower, just with 100BP and 10-16PP.
3) Third , the summer-Water/Fire typing, the Monsoon pokemon, having the Humidity trait-both Fire and Water-type moves used by this pokemon will have 150% power in both Rain and Sun. Electric-type aspects and a unique move of Cloudcry-100BP, 10-16PP, and cases permenant rain right after striking.
4) Fourth, the autumn-Steel/Grass typing, the preparedness pokemon, having the Wind Blow trait, doubling the power of all wind-based moves, such as Icy Wind and Ominous Wind, as well as preventing Tailwind from ending as long as this pokemon remains in battles, and reciving 50% less damage from Flying-type moves. Ground-type aspects and a unique move of Ending Wind-100BP, 10-16PP, and also forces a random switch-out just like Roar.
I also want an Ice/Dragon, Electric/Dragon and Fire/Dragon trio, all with Levitate. A Glalie evolution with Ice/Dark typing would do great, as well as a Jynx evolution. A Delibird evolution just needs to happen. Id'e also like an Ice/Steel pokemon with Levitate, as well as a Ghost/Psychic Levitating angel pokemon. A Levitating Ghost/Steel would be a monsterous defensive type combination. Also, more Grass/Ice and Ice/Ghost. Froslass and Abomasnow are so great! And of course-an Ice/Electric Levitating storm cloud pokemon. I really like Levitate for some reason...
New Moves: Besides the instant Freezing move already mentioned, Id'e like to see
ElectroKick, as well as Frost Tail and "just" Frost, beeing an Ice-type version of Stealth Rock.
I really like this thread...keep going!
