You are already trying to get a new pokemon through, you are dreaming if you think you are getting a new ability through with it.I've been thinking more and more about Magic Guard on this pokemon, since it appears that it will be a mixed sweeper. Someone in the last poll suggested an ability that prevents damage upon switching in, which seems like the more viable option to prevent Life Orb abuse. We could call it Ice Shell or something, playing with the bug's natural ability to freeze itself in the winter.
I think the concept fits the "Ice Fairy" ideas that have been tossed around. It doesn't fit the Mixed Sweeper concept that is currently way ahead in the voting of this current topic.I'm just wondering, what do you guys think of the picture I posted earlier? The only real problem I can see with it is that it was drawn by someone who saw the concept as a special sweeper. Remember, it was drawn by a ten-year-old, on Paint, on a laptop.
I'm sure that was the general idea behind it, hoping that it would get put into the next game. Regardless, its all fun anyway. I still don't like the idea of creating a new ability for a new pokemonWe were never aksing Nintendo to make this pokemon, lol...
were we?
And if this becomes a mixed sweeper everyone seems to be saying "Ice beam and Megahorn, wow!" But haw about something more like "Ice Shard and Signale beam", with the physical side being the Ice type attacks?
lol I was the one that mentioned the icy aura thing. And I'm aware that mixed sweeper is winning, but I'm biased towards special sweeper, and think my sister's creation fits that nicely. Come on, look at it.I think the concept fits the "Ice Fairy" ideas that have been tossed around.

I think the Mantice idea might work better for a mixed sweeper. Good name, Odinwolf. A little too close to Mantyke and Mantine, but a mantis is a great bug concept to work with. I've always thought Scyther looked like a bad-ass, and it has a kind of preying mantis thing going on there.
The mantis look covers the physical side of things. The problem is bringing in the special side of things. Maybe it can have an icy aura, like someone mentioned earlier in reference to Articuno in the 3D games. Could be tough to pull off in a regular bitmapped sprite. The goal should be for it to end up like Infernape, a physical structure with a special aura. Making that work with an ice bug could be tough.
So basically... you're agreeing with me? ;sI think a new ability is just a step too far for Ninty to concider it. I'm sure if we did send them the finished product they'd at least have a look and a chuckle over it.
I just want to point out that Mespirit and Azelf are pixles/fairies looking and could techically mix sweep if only they had more physical move options so really a MM2 picture idea might not be soo bad, just need some way to do an cutting action to give it X-scissor.I think the concept fits the "Ice Fairy" ideas that have been tossed around.

Maybe it could use its antennae? They have sharp edges, due to having ice crystals at the tips. And remember, this critter (in the picture) has snowflake wings, giving it a possible useless Roost option, like how Infernape can learn Slack Off.I just want to point out that Mespirit and Azelf are pixles/fairies looking and could techically mix sweep if only they had more physical move options so really a MM2 picture idea might not be soo bad, just need some way to do an cutting action to give it X-scissor.
LOL, Roosting frail bastard XD.Maybe it could use its antennae? They have sharp edges, due to having ice crystals at the tips. And remember, this critter (in the picture) has snowflake wings, giving it a possible useless Roost option, like how Infernape can learn Slack Off.
Seriously, if if ends up not having a horn, I bet many people will be all "this thing can't Megahorn, it sucks now"LOL, Roosting frail bastard XD. It wouldn't be the first, Recover Deoxys-A anyone lol
I agree with Ultimifer, most of the movepool and stat spreads are a bit broken but then again, he still trying to figure out what it's funcation and appearance is.
I voted for Special Sweeper, but it doesn't look like it will win. I like your sister's visual. It is cute as a bug -- pun totally intended. The snowflake wings are perfect.lol I was the one that mentioned the icy aura thing.

And to be fair, I think the majority of mixed sweeper votes are purely because they want something with Megahorn, which this "Mantice" probably wouldn't be capable of.
