Smogon's First "Create a Pokemon": Poll 13, part 2

Cooper · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:00:51 AM

Two votes. Six entries. One Day. Vote now.

1.) "Known as the 'bullies of the mountain,' SYCLANT often coerce DELIBIRD to give up their presents, as a single DELIBIRD present can sustain a PRE-EVO'S NAME unit for an entire week."

2.) "The forelimbs of this POKEMON have become ice cannons, enabling it to freeze victims instantly. It is often aggressive, having a voracious appetite for newly frozen victims."

3.) "Wild SYCLANT are fearsome predators. Even in harsh blizzards they can quickly chase down their prey with stunning agility. Should a DELIBIRD find itself near a colony, it would be swarmed almost immediately."

4.) "Female SYCLANT tend to be less aggressive than males, but defend their eggs with brute force if needed. All SYCLANT are a potent force in battle, but also are courteous fighters. Should one knock down an opponent, it won't attack until its foe gets back up."

5.) "Wild SYCLANTs are very aggressive, so much so that they live alone. They train by breaking apart large glaciers."

6.) "The icicles on SYCLANT's back grow bigger as it gets older, the older a SYCLANT is the longer the icicles are. The icicles are 100x stronger than any POKEMON's bone and razor sharp."

Also, please don't base your decision on grammar errors. I know they're there, but I don't fix them. Weird. However, they will be corrected when the top entries are picked. Please vote on content alone. Thanks.

Cooper · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:02:48 AM

Voted 1 and 5. I want a bully of the mountain, and I wrote five.

MegaMewtwo · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:03:57 AM

lol I saw this thread before the poll appeared, and I also got the first votes. Voted 1 and 5, because I like them best lol. Only real reason I have.

Goodbar · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:03:59 AM

hope 5 wins...

Seq · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:07:51 AM

I voted 2 and 5 but 5 looks more like a dex entry.

Invective · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:10:58 AM

went for 4 and 6.
4 because it reminds me of gallade, and six cuz it didn't have anything about being aggressive or a bully.

Lawman · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:11:08 AM

3 and 4, seeing as they are mine =3

Sunday · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:14:43 AM

DELIBIRDS WILL DIE!!!

Gothic Togekiss · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:14:54 AM

4 and 6 because Razor sharp icicles and Gallade like manners is interesting.

KoA · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:33:43 AM

1 and 5

Goodbar · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:45:19 AM

GAY why is no one voting for 5

~~Blue Harvest~~ · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:49:13 AM

I don't like #6, since Rhydon's bones are 1,000x stronger then human bones. Since Syclant's icicles are 100x harder then that (assuming Rhyhorn's bones are the hardest of pokemon which is doubtful) its at least 100,000x harder then human bones.

An adult human's leg bone can take roughly 600 pounds of force from the side (placing it horizontally).

Does that mean Syclant's ice spines can take 60,000,000 pounds of pressure? Or 30,000 tons...

Thats a little high, even for pokemon.

Anyway, I vote 1 and 4. They both sound like dex entries.

Urza · Jan 13th, 2008, 1:59:44 AM

5 is easily the best. i don't see this thing being so incredibly vicious...just dangerous

Kamikaze Korean · Jan 13th, 2008, 2:02:48 AM

I voted for four and six. Four because I like the protective nature and the "courteous fighters" bit, and six because it has nothing to do with them killing stuff and PokeDex entries seem to like big numbers.

By the way, are there just going to be two winners, or three? If Nintendo likes their money, a third game be could released this generation.

FFMaster · Jan 13th, 2008, 2:06:38 AM

Voted 5 and 6. To me, they seem like what would actaully appear in a Dex entry.

Wow, this poll is still really close.

EDIT: Nice how some people dont know how to pick two entries. 35 people and 76 votes....

QFT. Perhaps saying the icicles are as strong as bone wound suffice, but that hard is just ridiculous, even for pokemon.

DrCrashMD · Jan 13th, 2008, 2:29:20 AM

I can't say I really like Entry 6 - the "and razor sharp" just seems too be thrown in for no reason.

tea_and_blues · Jan 13th, 2008, 3:07:51 AM

I would have voted for 4, but generally female bugs are the more aggressive ones.

Ambitions · Jan 13th, 2008, 3:11:15 AM

VOTE FOR NUMBER TWO!!!!!

Its bad ass!

Calciphoce · Jan 13th, 2008, 3:25:22 AM

I know you said not to judge on this, but some of the ideas for the dex entries could sound better while staying on track. moot though.

I voted 5 and 3.

Automatic · Jan 13th, 2008, 3:46:04 AM

5 and 3.

Larvitar Star · Jan 13th, 2008, 3:56:18 AM

I voted 2 and 6... 2 needs more love, it came 3rd or 4th in the other poll!

Cubed · Jan 13th, 2008, 4:40:43 AM

Three and Four. As far as I know ants work together. I want to keep it that way.

i love this logic, yes this needs changeing. how many cars would that be?

oh and i prefer your name now.

TaiwaneseDude · Jan 13th, 2008, 5:10:21 AM

5 and 6, because I like them best.

Cooper, I know you said you won't correct the grammar until they're complete, but I think it would be best to correct them now (during part 2) so part 3 will have them all "finalized," I guess? It's better for us, as voters, to see the final version prior to the voting than see it after. Just another less thing people could complain about? (like that Ice Shell --> Mountaineer thing.. >.<)
