~~Diving Deep~~ (A Water Pokemon Fan Club)

[Starry Windy]

So, you may have seen that I updated the background on the member list. The reason I had to change it was because the original image was from TinyPic and PC no longer supports that. Anyways, what do you think about the new background?

It's pretty good, Hikari! It's blue just like how water should be :)

I've been on the hunt for 4 shinys. shiny-magikarp,goldeen,barboach and luvdisc......but still no luck even after 2 months ;-;

That's sad, but I'm sure you're able to pull it off soon, especially with a kind of shiny chaining called Fish Chaining method. Pulling it off may be a bit tricky, but don't give up because you might be able to get one :) Speaking of which...

Tell us your Shiny Water-type. If you have none, at least share us your favorite and tell us why!
If you count Shiny Gyarados, that's the only shiny Water Pokémon that I have just now. I do wish I can get shiny Azumarill though, since it's still as cute as ever, and I like how it's sparkled with gold.

well im currently playing gen 3 due to my ds,dsi and 3ds being broke [yes i have 3 broke game systems] so i cant chain for shinys {D:}

 

[Hikamaru]

It's pretty good, Hikari! It's blue just like how water should be :)

Glad you liked it! I felt like it needed something with colours that suited water better so that was why I picked it. Had to go digging quite a bit on Tumblr, but nice to hear your opinion.

It does seem to add more color and style {:3}

 

[Hikamaru]

You are definitely right there, Orca. I'm glad it's getting some good feedback because it's not easy to find the perfect watery pics out there.

 

[ghostly]

I love the background! <3

Makes me feel blue-y~

 

[theorcaking]

hmm...not much is going on :l

If you notice the club is starting to get quiet, then it's time to start a new topic. ;)

 

[ghostly]

Ayyeee, I wonder what will our next topic be? c:

bubump~

 

[kingdenas]

Loved the Background, it's blue, like most of our lovely water-types <3

Tell us your Shiny Water-type. If you have none, at least share us your favorite and tell us why!

If you count Shiny Gyarados, it's the only shiny water-type Pokémon I have! There are some that are really beautiful, I still don't know which shiny I like more .... Maybe Buizel and Empoleon! Buizel looks super cute with that gold color and that sort of white ring around its neck! Empoleon looks amazing with those light-blue colors!

Ugh... Holy Kyogre. ~_~

And please quote each others responses rather than simply answering the topic. Or it's pointless to create a topic over and over.~

Main topic:

Mega Gyarados. I don't know exactly why. Probably because it stopped Baton Pass chains when they were around.

Sub-topic 1:
What are you going to change for that Mega Evolution you have chosen from the main topic?

I'd have it learn Knock Off.

Sub-topic 2:
Your least favorite Water-type Mega Evolution, why?

Don't have one.

Sub-topic 3:
What's your thought on Primal Kyogre? (Design, moves, role in games, etc.)

Worse than Primal Groudon in all aspects. First of all, Primal Groudon is the manliest Pokemon ever to exist, and second, its ability is better than Kyogre's since it is immune to Water as opposed to Ogre, which is immune to a type it already resisted. Still one of my favourite Ubers due to its ridiculous special attack stat and the ability to check Darkrai and Primal Groudon in a pinch.

 

[Hikamaru]

Which Water-type Pokémon's Mega Evolution is your favorite? Why?
Mega Swampert for me. He did me wonders in my Alpha Sapphire playthrough, not just being the team leader but he also proved himself as a tank taking hits like nothing when I was battling Primal Kyogre.

What are you going to change for that Mega Evolution you have chosen from the main topic?
I wouldn't change it. Mega Swampert seems perfect with what it has, being a strong tank that can take a hit and in the rain it becomes a massive threat thanks to Swift Swim.

Your least favorite Water-type Mega Evolution, why?
There's not really a particular one I hate, but they could have done better with Mega Sharpedo. The design is okay but I would have given it a better ability than Strong Jaw.

What's your thought on Primal Kyogre? (Design, moves, role in games, etc.)
As Amour pointed out, while it may not be as much of a beast as Primal Groudon competitively, Primal Kyogre is still a hard-hitter with Water STAB that hits instantly hard thanks to the rain it summons plus it can still rain down perfect-accuracy Thunder, and I also love Origin Pulse much more than Groudon's Precipice Blades. It just looks way more beautiful, and I do love Kyogre's design more as a whole plus in a water-heavy region like Hoenn it fits much better in the story compared to Groudon.

 

[Starry Windy]

Which Water-type Pokémon's Mega Evolution is your favorite? Why?
For me, it's Mega Sharpedo, because it looks pretty menacing and agile as well.

What are you going to change for that Mega Evolution you have chosen from the main topic?
Sometimes I wish Sharpedo retained the ability of Rough Skin, because it feels unusual for me if Sharpedo doesn't have one.

Your least favorite Water-type Mega Evolution, why?
I'm not quite fond of Mega Slowbro at times because of its design.

What's your thought on Primal Kyogre? (Design, moves, role in games, etc.)
Primal Kyogre is so cool and beautiful in terms of design, and like Hikari said, it can spam Thunder with perfect accuracy thanks to Primordial Sea ability that enables it to make rains when it's around. That same ability also makes Kyogre invincible against any Fire-based attacks too, to prove that it still got it.

Which Water-type Pokémon's Mega Evolution is your favorite? Why?
Despite Water-type is my all time favorites among the 18-types, I couldn't really name even one as my favorite Mega Evolution. The reason is because I hold my expectations too high for the Water-type, I want a perfect one in every aspect -- design, stats, Ability. That is not to say the current Megas we got are bad though.

What are you going to change for that Mega Evolution you have chosen from the main topic?
None, but I'd like to say that Mega Swampert should received a better Ability like Sap Sipper or Huge Power. Or a design that is more streamline design and less bulky for the Swift Swim Ability. They can however, retain the current design for if Mega Swampert has Sap Sipper or Huge Power as its Ability!

Your least favorite Water-type Mega Evolution, why?
I have to say Mega Slowbro. The stats are great, the Ability and design could be a lot better than what we have right now. It looks like a mockery of Mega Evolution or a spoof Mega of sort.

What's your thought on Primal Kyogre? (Design, moves, role in games, etc.)
I still couldn't get the design of Primal Kyogre if those yellow things are its internal organ that is visible through its skin (think Poliwag and Poliwhirl). Or more like markings on its body? (Feel free to educate me)
Still loving the design though, it looks wicked! ArmourPearlShipper is right, compare to Groudon the blue whale isn't shining too much. As Nichole and Starry Windy pointed out, Primal Kyogre is capable of spamming the move Thunder with Primordial Sea activated. >:) The too much water compliments this Pokémon perfectly well!

[TwilightBlade]

Your nickname: TwilightBlade / Blade
Your Partner Pokémon: Vaporeon
Reason for joining the club: I love Water Pokemon! My first game was Blue version and I had both Blastoise and Vaporeon on my team, I didn't care about having multiple water types at all. My Crystal team had Croconaw and Suicune. I always have at least one Surf user on my team and often have two Pokemon that can use Surf because it's powerful and accessible. My XY team had Clawitzer and Dragalge. My ORAS team had Latias and Sharpedo using Surf.
Answer to the current topic: Which kind of Water-type Pokémon do you prefer? I prefer ones found deep underwater (Chinchou, Clamperl) because it's relaxing. I also like the ones found on land (Marill, Corsola, Shellos, Buizel) because you least expect it. I've used all of these on teams before. ^_^

Tell us your Shiny Water-type. If you have none, at least share us your favorite and tell us why!
My first successful Pokeradar chain resulted in a shiny Corsola. I love the vibrant blue color. I also have 4 shiny Buizel where I used one in my Platinum's first in-game team.
When fish chaining was discovered in XY, I caught a shiny Horsea (3 of them actually) while trying to get my shiny Skrelp. I used the shiny Skrelp on my final XY team. It replaced the non-shiny Skrelp I was already raising because I love Skrelp! Both are raised to level 70+ so neither one was left unloved. :)

Which Water-type Pokémon's Mega Evolution is your favorite? Why?
Mega Blastoise or Mega Sharpedo. I do think they are overdesigned in some aspects in that they've increased the number of cannons or increased the number of stars. I guess I don't really have a huge favorite.

Your least favorite Water-type Mega Evolution, why?
I don't believe Mega Slowbro was necessary. The whole charm of this Pokemon was that it evolved into Slowbro when a Shellder supposedly clamps down on its tail versus Shellder biting its head. Now it's just consumed by the shell.... completely overshadowed by its shell...

What's your thought on Primal Kyogre? (Design, moves, role in games, etc.)
I didn't care much for the primal forms of the mascot legendaries. I didn't even catch my Kyogre in ORAS! I kinda fainted it and it was a Nuzlocke so I didn't care. I have caught a shiny one in 3rd gen and transferred it over, but I haven't used the primal mode.
However, Primal Kyogre was one of my first legendaries in Rumble so I went crazy with it. It's a powerhouse!

[KENSHlN]

Which Water-type Pokémon's Mega Evolution is your favorite? Why?

I'd have to say mega blastoise is the only one I've honestly bred and played with.
I should get a Sharpedo soon and test it out.

What are you going to change for that Mega Evolution you have chosen from the main topic?

With Sharpedo, I would give it a damn tail if I had the power to do so. >_> lol

Your least favorite Water-type Mega Evolution, why?

I guess I'd have to say Slowbro. I've never been a big fan of Slowbro.
I respect its power, but not a fan of its design. It doesn't suit my style.
I'd get zero ladies with Slowbro at my side. xD

What's your thought on Primal Kyogre? (Design, moves, role in games, etc.)

I loved the design. Although its ability seems a bit questionable in terms of usability.
I'm just not sure I'm entirely into 'primal reversion.' It just makes me feel like pokemon that are ancient should have one too then. And the mechanism is much different then with mega evolution. @_@ So there's that annoyance I have with that.
