I voted DJD for this one. Why? Eh - number of reasons, but to sum it up simply: 1) How a Pkmn looks does not and should not denote stats or typing. If we went solely with looks to denote these things, then Gyarados wouldn't be Water/ Flying, and other Pokemon would have to be altered. 2) Even...

Eh, despite not having much to do in CAP11, I've put my two-cents in and voted Inner Focus. If the final decision is that we are going for something pure-flavour, but not NSA, then none of the abilities have any real effect on an artwork design. After all, Marowak has Lightningrod as an option...

I voted Doug. It seems to me that we need a fairly basic look which isn't doing too much, so that it doesn't suggest any true purpose from sprite alone. Secondly, it's pose is awfully cute, which is fun on Krilowatt.

I voted Jibaku, simply because of the two movepools, I prefer the options on his than on Korski's. Neither have any real disadvantages from my point-of-view, and only have petty advantages over the other which are then in turn coming at a cost of something else. I do find the triple "cannon"...

Still voting Deck Knight. I like the controversial side of things here: we aren't trying to make a Starmie Mk II, and I agree that it could never happen with the stats Kril has, but by removing Ice Beam and Blizzard, we're forcing a certain flair into movepool design. While 'Mence and Flygon...

I voted for Deck Knight. To try to mitigate the amount of hatred anyone supporting another person may aim at me, my reasoning is thus: Despite the fact that Ice Beam/Blizzard is "needed", without them we now need to properly think "Hmm... which is more effective: Physical, Special or Mixed?"...

-sighs- Clear Body blocks stat drops made by other people. If you use a move which causes a stat-drop yourself, such as Curse, then the drop goes through. This means that basically, you can use Swords Dance and then not need to worry about Intimidate lowering your increasements in the stat. Of...

Heart Swap Aqua Ring Encore Transform Metal Sound Heart Swap is not broken, on the simple basis that it is less likely to be used for anything more than a gimmick. While the ability to abuse it seems to be there, the simple nature is that you simply switch your boosts/drops with the opponent...

Weather: If we're stopping Baton Pass and other "help" position moves, such as entry hazards and stat-up moves, then weather ought to go as well. The simple reason? If you justify one weather, then the Pokemon can generally use all of them. What with Krillowatt's Magic Guard and stat spread, it...

Wow - we can give the opponent our power losses. Because that's the first thing I'll do - make a Utility Counter dedicated to not loosing any power with high-power moves, such as Overheat, Superpower and Draco Meteor. Let's ignore the fact that to do so, we'll only be attacking every other turn...

Whirlwind: Why exactly is Whirlwind still there? Forcing switches that way seems a bit hit and miss regardless, and without any entry hazard options, I cannot see where this will be run. Now, I know that means it could go in either place, but I doubt that Whirlwind can be used effectively by...

Cross Chop Signal Beam X-Scissor Overheat Superpower Focus Blast Aura Sphere Brave Bird X-Scissor over Signal Beam: The reason I've voted for X-Scissor over Signal Beam is because I want to give the Physical spread more reason to be run: Celebi isn't much of a counter for a set if a Bug-move...

Overheat: While it certainly fits the concept, and even goes to the extremes of killing Steel-types, I cannot see why Metagross and Jirachi, the only two Steel-types not killed by HP Fire or hit harder by STAB, are not killed by EQ or EP. If Overheat OHKOs either of them, then allow it. If it...

Sucker Punch: I think Sucker Punch is a good choice - it gives us something to use against Gengar or Specskazam. It's a good move in terms of dealing damage, and while it is "overpowered" as some people would say, CAP10 is certainly going to suffer from 4MSS, so giving it more options negates...

While I find it completely unnecessary to lift said CAP-mon from us, we cannot exactly do anything about it. Besides, it seems to simply be a database of Fakemon that these Polish people have - unless we find a game about it, there is no competition and not really any need to needlessly rip into...

Okay, I've been reading for a while, and I have deduced this from the topic: 1) Apparently, the Special moveset is much better than the Physical moveset, and therefore we need to remove all things which have potentially high neutral coverage. 2) Some people seem to need Hidden Power to do...

I voted for Scurrint. 1) I like the name, as it isn't in your face about it's typing, nor does it sound like something which would imply something else. 2) It is the only submission I didn't initially dismiss in the submissions phase.

Well, apart from obviously throwing support behind my own suggestion, I must say that there are few names I like, simply because a vast majority are a combination of two words that run well together. While mine isn't exactly any different, I at least had the decency to think about it before...

Final Submission: Penaeaday Pronounced: Pen-nay-a-day Penaeus monodon (Scientific name for Tiger Prawn) + Faraday (Michael Faraday) It gives us a "prawn" reference which isn't very well-known, and is similar-sounding to Faraday, who is a key member of the people who discovered how electricity...

Just a nitpick at some of the points made, but CAP10 will be able to run physical moves properly as well as special moves. So Blissey isn't a major counter, as I can easily see CAP10 using STAB Waterfall and doing a lot of damage. Plus, I think aragornbird's concept won, which means that you...
