''Freezing Fans'' -- The Ice type Club!

Well, well, if it isn't a Pokémon trainer! I and the other club members will give you a Cold welcome to: ''''Freezing fans'', the ice type Fan club!

The ice type is the rarest type in Pokémon. Ice type Pokémon are extremely rare and late-game, but we Ice type Lovers ALWAYS find room for an Ice type on our teams! What we do here, is discuss the ice type for the newer games, Talk about the ice type in a competitive standpoint, the appearances of Ice type Pokémon in the anime, games and manga, and we battle with our beautiful pokémon!

If you're new to pokémon,or just love the ice type, here we have a link to a list of every Ice type Pokémon in existence, and information about the ice type itself!

Favourite Ice type Pokémon? Tough question but I think it would have to be Dewgong!

Out of interest, what are the tournaments that were mentioned a few times in the OP (in the calendar and in the rank lists)? Are they battling tournaments?

Hi Charlie Brown! :D

Yay another Dewgong fan!
I feel like this Pokemon is often forgotten... I really like his design! I hope they'll improve it with new moves, maybe a mega evolution?

Haha yeah Dewgong is pretty forgotten. It doesn't really stand out in any way I suppose (there are better Water/Ice Pokemon competitively, and even better/more notable Water/Ice Pokemon in Kanto alone, and its design and name are pretty ordinary I guess) but for some reason I just love it. I actually think it's fine the way it is but then again I'm not really a fan of most Megas anyway so probably not the best person to speak about that :P

I welcome you with open arms! The tournaments will be held with battles, but also with something else if there is interest.

And yes, Dewgong is a very nice pokémon :p It's really cute as well. I think its forgettable because it really looks like Seel.

ICE TYPE DISCUSSION

One day late, but no one cares!! the first discussion here is:

How are Ice types in the video games?

How do you think the Ice type is portraited in the Pokémon video games? They always had such late game appearances which kinda makes me sad to be honest. What are your opinion on Ice types in the video games?

Name: Sich
PokéCommunity Name: FireSnow
Favourite Ice type Pokémon?: I'll be taking Walrein
Favourite ice type trainer? Hmmm I'd say its a tie between Candice and Wulfric, both are good ambassadors of the type
Why do you want to join?: I'm a fan of the type and really appreciate its usefulness and would love to be able to express that more often
Birthday: January 8th

Discussion:

Though its unfortunate that the type doesn't really appear much until late in the game, I look at that as a sign of respect for the type. The type is incredibly useful in-game and as a whole is one of the top types in terms of stats I believe so making it available so early would be unfair ;D (kinda similar to the dragon type, ironically the once type Dragon is weak to is Ice). With it also being available so late is to really challenge the player to earn the Pokemon and take the time to train it to show how much one really wants. (trust me, grinding so late in the game is very hard with such a low-leveled Pokemon) Only those strong enough will reap the rewards of having an Ice type Pokemon (similar to Dragon types again)

Welcome to the club!

And yeah, i do kinda agree with you. But I love the ice type so much and I have to wait very long until I get one.

I would like to see an Ice type earlier, of course! Maybe a two type Pokemon, who got ice as a part type later in the game (but sooner than the other ice types Pokemon).
I played a hack of White, called PureWhite and we got a Snorunt early in the game. I love Froslass so I was so happy!

Even if I want to see an Ice type earlier in the game, I don't think we have to see many of them. They can always do an early Pokemon who's an Ice type but kinda week, because Ice type is strong at this point of the game.

I agree that it would be cool to have an Ice-type earlier. The earliest I can remember getting an Ice-type in any game is in BW when you find Vanillite in the city with the fifth (?) gym.

I agree with Mawa with having a two-stage Pokemon that gains the Ice-type - I always thought it would be cool to have a snowy owl as a regional bird tbh. It could start out Normal/Flying then gain the Ice-type later on.

Oooh nice, I love both those Pokemon as well. Weavile has become a staple on my competitive teams with its outstanding speed and attack and Glaceon is one of my favorite eeveelutions, behind only Flareon (ironic?)

Yeah Weavile is awesome with that speed!! And Glaceon is so cute hehe looks like Taylor Swift.It is a god Pokemon I think, I use it a lot!

Sorry for the delay, welcome to the club!
