I hope there's no time limit on club joining, because I'd love to join this seemingly chillax club if I can, with White Kyurem as my guardian!
I normally would have said Black Kyurem, because while I love White's design more, I've always been more partial to Zekrom than Reshiram. I'm also of the idea that it the fused Kyu's should've changed their types to match what they're fused with. I LOVE the Electric/Ice combo, for all its 4x ground weakness, and we would've had the almost-equally amazing Fire/Ice combo in a more accessible way three generations earlier! Ah, if only we lived in the ideal world....well, maybe I should pick Black Kyurem, huh? XD
Anyway, I figure that if I'm gonna join, I should answer some of the questions, so:
-What is/are your favorite Ice Type Pokemon?
Well, kind of...all of them! Barring a choice few. Ahem.Jynx. Smoochum is on thin ice.
But so as to actually give a nice answer, I particularly love Snom, Arctozolt(My beautiful Electric/Ice!), any of the Kyurems(My beautiful Gen 5 mons!), Alolan Ninetales, and probably most unsurprisingly, Glaceon!
Have you ever used an Ice Type on any of your playthrough teams? If yes, do you remember which one it was and/or in which game?
As much as I love Ice types, it can be a pain to get them early in in most of the games, but from what I remember I had a Vanillish and a cherished little baby Cubchoo that I can't remember the name of on my Gen 5 game, and I definitely used Alolan Ninetales when I got it in Gen 7.
-Do you nickname your Pokemon? If so do you have any nicknames you use for certain Ice Type mons or do you randomly pick nicknames for them?
Yep! I try to do cold themed names for all of them, but sometimes I'll get a really weird name in my head and have to go for it(My Snivy in my most recent White run got named Smatantha. I don't know where it came from...).
-Would you like any of them to gain a new evolutions? (SwSh gave certain regional forms a new evolution, such as Mr. Rime for Galarian Mr. Mime).
I think there are a few that definitely need one, notably Cryogonal and Delibird. I'm not sure what they'd be other than hopefully interesting!
-Ice hasn't been combined with Normal or Poison yet. Additionally Ice has only been combined with Fire in a temporary form (Zen Mode Galar Darmanitan). Do you have any ideas for what an Ice Type Pokemon combined with any of these types would look like? (you can also use a new Regional form for this if you want)
I kind of chose this one since I answered it a little already, but my "idea" for a slightly-less temporary Fire/Ice is changing White Kyurem's type! While it's not quite permanent, it is a different form and it is storable outside of battle, so I think it's more than enough. As far as an Ice/Normal type, me and my friends came up with an interesting idea of an Ice/Normal type Gastly that becomes a little floating snowball with a cold aura! It works with the connecting idea of ghosts always having a chill around them. Or maybe it could be Ice/Poison to keep some of its connection and fill that slot! Other than that, I don't have a separate idea for Ice/Poison. :(
-The Unova games had seasons. Did you like this mechanic? How do you feel about the Winter season in them?
Yes. I will rant forever about how perfect, besides EXP, the Gen 5 games are.
-Do you think this is a good change? Do you prefer the location based evolutions for Ice Types such as Glaceon or the new Ice Stones?
Sadly, I think this is a good idea as a side effect of how most of the Pokemon regions are; Glaceon wasn't accessible in gen 4 until almost post game! All of the "cold" areas are very late in the game, so this change makes it actually possible to do a playthrough with Glaceon. However, I would PREFER the location based evos, just not so far into the game please!!!
-Do you have any Ice Pokemon merchandise?
I have a Glaceon BAB named Skushy. I totally meant to name it Slushy, but I mistyped while putting it in, and decided that I liked it better and would have more meaning. Other than that, I'm an avid TCG collector, so I've got mounds of beautifully designed "Ice" type cards!
-Are you using/going to use an Ice type on your team?
This was meant for BDSP, but I'm answering it for SV: and absolutely! If I can get an early Ice type, I'll take it, especially if its new!
-Are there any changes you'd like to see in the Ice type's Type match-ups? This could be defensive (for example give Ice type a new resistance) or offensive (give it a different or an extra type it's super effective against)
ABSOLUTELY. I would make Ice the third type to resist Normal, as well as Grass type. Even just adding those two would already just make Ice so much less, ironically, brittle!
-Are there any Ice type Pokemon you think could be used as a starter?
Yes! All of the 3 stage Ice types(Swinub line, Spheal line, Vanillite line) would be perfect starters in my opinion! They've all got very coherent designs that build well on each evolution and are the perfect balance of cute/cool(totally intended) to work well as starters.
Anyway, that was probably a TOTAL AVALANCHE(again, very intended) of information and questions, but I figured that if I was to make an entrance, that it should freeze you in your tracks!
Okay maybe that one was a bit of a stretch....
You have been admitted to the Glacial Gathering through your Guardian: White Kyurem.
Welcome, Striscia La Magicienne!
Nice mon choices!
I agree that Kyurem should change type when fused. Out of all the mons capable of fusion it's the only one that doesn't do this...
