Vanilluxe for me, I love this two-headed ice-cream cone. It's also one of my fave Ice-types too.

Forever, today is the last day of Winter in Unova. Spring begins tomorrow...

I tried one out and it was amazing! Mine currently knows Hail, Acid Armor, Flash Cannon and Ice Beam. It's definitely the best of the 3 Ice-types available in BW before beating the main story.



I love this fanart of Vanilluxe, so frosty.

Yeah, Vanilluxe wins me over rather than Beartic.

Vanilluxe all the way, I don't like any of the bear Pokémon and Vanilluxe was instantly up there with my favourite Pokémon and it's great to use.

Seeing as they are pretty much both useless competitively, I'll go purely on design and fun factor. I voted for Vanilluxe because I like how it is based on ice-cream. I've never really liked Beartic and that ice beard thing either. Vanilluxe is also one of those Pokémon that are pretty fun to use for me like Sunflora or Lunatone. I wish it would get new flavours formes in BW2 that have different colour 'scoops'.

I guess I'll be the first poster to say Beartic. Which to be honest, I never really did like at first. When I saw it in the anime for the first time, however, I instantly fell in love with it! I think it would do Beartic well if his sprite had him on all fours, rather than standing up though. Same with the artwork.

I've never used Beartic before, but I do have plans to when I finally pick up my White again and replay it before the release of B2/W2 in the US. I will say this though, Beartic could have really done well had it only been given a better move pool.

As for Vanilluxe, I just don't see the appeal. It's a double scoop ice-cream cone Pokémon. When I first saw this, I honestly had to ask myself, "What was GameFreak thinking?" I'm still waiting for them to get me back on that, but until then, I just don't really fancy Vanilluxe or its evolutionary line in general. I will say this though, Vanillite is cute. I just hope that when we eventually get a 6th Generation, GameFreak doesn't start turning more food products into Pokémon. They've got a lot more animal species they can cover before they start resorting to more food-like Pokémon in my opinion.

Does anyone see the logic in how an ice-cream cone can be faster than a bear by the way? I know Pokémon isn't known for their realism when it comes to things, but I just don't get this one.

I've never understood why people hate the cool-ass (literally) Vaniluxe. Sure, it looks like an ice-cream, but when has anybody had a bad word to say about ice-cream? Bears, on the other hand, are nothing but bad news, what with all the killing of people and such. Apart from allergy-related deaths, did ice-cream ever kill anybody? Probs not. Also, Beartic is fugly and slow whereas Vaniluxe is kooky and quick-ish.

Vaniluxe, hands down.

I've chosen Vanilluxe, just because of it's design, really. Pure Ice is weak and you get Both Pokemon kinda late in the game so I didn't even use them yet. I guess both would be lame, lol.

Beartic! He's just screaming HUG ME but it's a demand. Plus its pre-evolution is the cutest.

Vanillite is the best designed in the line of the ice cream Pokémon anyway. Vanilluxe just looks like it used one of those simple computer effects to make a twin of itself.

I've never used Beartic or Vanilluxe in a battle, but in the end Beartic gets my vote for the design and the best evolution line out of the two.

I don't necessarily like either, but BeardTic is much more creative than an ice cream cone. Seriously, Game Freak, a FREAKING ICE CREAM CONE?!?!?

And BeardTic is stronger, as well.

Not to mention it has a killer beard.

I'll admit that Vinillux is a better pokemon. I'll even point out that Beartic's signiture move Icicle Crash has a 30% chance to flinch is useless because he has a speed of 50.

I love Beartic. I predicted a polar bear pokemon and I got my wish. Vinellux has his place to, but Beartic is going to lose this poll, so I voted for him.

In my part of Canada it snowed last week so technically still winter I guess.

And yeah, I vote Vanilluxe because its lack of serious business is awesome. Beartic is like "BLAARGH I'M A POLAR BEAR BUT NOT COOL".

And why do people say the inanimate-object mons are lame? I think they're pretty awesome. I mean, ICE CREAM. It's HAPPY ICE CREAM! Seriously, Vanilluxe rocks.
