Smogon's 1st "Create a Pokemon": Poll 1

Cooper · Dec 3rd, 2007, 12:03:02 PM

Yes, it's the kick-off of what will hopefully be a successful venture, the smogon "Create a Pokemon." For the first poll, I've decided to have you all vote on what type our new pokemon will be. I apologize that I could not fit all the types into this one thread (10 options maximum), so find the sister thread here. At this stage of the game, I don't know exactly how much debate is possible, since no one knows what sort of pokemon this will be (I was going to have the "Function" poll be this week, but decided some really creative options could come from, say, a Fire tank or something). Please refrain as much as possible from comments like "fier beatz out watr, so don' vot for watr;)" Things like that aren't very helpful, are they?

DON NOT SUGGEST DUAL TYPES THIS POLL! THERE WILL BE A POLL FOR THAT NEXT TIME! That poll will feature the top three types from this poll. So don't do it. This poll will close in three days.

YOU MAY VOTE IN BOTH POLLS.

I'm such a sucker for Ice types. We need more good ones.

Astamatitos · Dec 3rd, 2007, 12:24:31 PM

Poison types . Just not enough poison types in the OU area.. :S

Samwise · Dec 3rd, 2007, 12:30:41 PM

Voted for steel. Need more competitive steel pokes.

Same goes for me too.

Deucalion2 · Dec 3rd, 2007, 12:40:14 PM

Electric. There are far too little Electric types.

Andeby · Dec 3rd, 2007, 12:59:37 PM

Hell yeah Poison!

rokuta · Dec 3rd, 2007, 1:03:29 PM

I like poison, but we need a steel to switch into draco meteor and outrage

Soy-Monk · Dec 3rd, 2007, 1:04:59 PM

Well... um... we have... Steelix...

Odinwolf · Dec 3rd, 2007, 1:28:38 PM

Ice needs better representation!!!

Missingno. Master · Dec 3rd, 2007, 3:32:29 PM

Poison, for sure.

Wakaka · Dec 3rd, 2007, 3:36:18 PM

There isn't much use in having a poison type pokemon, if poison as an attacking type sucks. I don't want one (of the possibly two) STABs to be poison, personally.

Marker · Dec 3rd, 2007, 4:51:21 PM

*Hopes for Ghost/Steel combo*

Seriously, that and levitate would make for a nice tank. ^_^

FFMaster · Dec 3rd, 2007, 4:53:38 PM

voted steel... i really want there to be more pokemon to ttake specsmence counters

xBLUEx · Dec 3rd, 2007, 4:55:24 PM

i voted for ice because there are not a lot of good ice pokes out there, i also like them.

While Salamence laughs with his Specs-boosted Fire Blasts and Flamethrowers.

Suburvia · Dec 3rd, 2007, 6:03:48 PM

I voted Ice, hoping for Electric/Ice as the end result. I want a Special Attacker with STAB BoltBeam ;)

MrOneOhOne · Dec 3rd, 2007, 6:06:26 PM

I voted water because I want a good Water/Bug =].

Surskit's not good enough for you :P

WeavileTamer · Dec 3rd, 2007, 6:10:02 PM

I voted normal because we need a tank to match bliss and normall seems the right one

Emu · Dec 3rd, 2007, 6:47:50 PM

I picked Rock simply because pure Rock types often look cool. Regirock, Sudowoodo, Nosepass (shut up. I like Nosepass). No real purpose other than that. I'm kind of still hoping that at least something picked will end up non-OU...

DanLite · Dec 3rd, 2007, 6:55:08 PM

Wow, I'm surprised at the lack of votes for Water. Everybody knows we need another Water-type!

You and I are definitely on the same page here.

Froslass, Abomasnow, Regice, Weavile, and Mamoswine will be waiting for you outside your house. Please don't go alone.

Vampy34 · Dec 3rd, 2007, 7:09:41 PM

Steel here, Bug on the other one.

The two most awesome types for the win! :D
