I don't see how this mummy is defensive or a fighting type, unless he gets some gloves or something.

So i voted marionette. At least he can use that wooden plank thing as a "defensive shield" of some sort.

Voted for the Mummy. I liked it from the moment KoA posted it in the art thread. KoA got his inspiration from Zelda, and he channeled it into a great design. Plus, since this is KoA's personal favorite between the two, he'll really go the extra mile to make the sprite completely kick-ass! Very easy vote for me.

A true mummy in Pokemon will be cool. Dusclops is fail, from a design standpoint. Too much going on. This one can really do it right, without being completely literal. The hovering half-body. The evil eye....

I like that -- a new ability called "Evil Eye". I don't know what it should do, but I love the name. Maybe that could be the "special version of Intimidate" that has been oft-discussed? On this bulky beast it would be pretty broken, though. Oh well, I'll keep thinking of interpretations for "Evil Eye"....

Sometimes you just have to say the idea out loud to have it.
Might as well say it.....
I like it...
 
Me and Mom. Mom and me. I said to Mom, "Look Mom -- a mummy." Mom was mum, and mum was me, as me and Mom mulled the mummy. The mummy was mum, then spoke to me. "I'm a mommy too", said he. I said to my Mom what he said to me, "He's a mommy mummy, Mom." And Mom said, "I see. If he's a mommy mummy it must be he's a she, not a he." So off we went, us happy three. Me, Mom, and the mommy mummy, she not he.
 
The choices I like keep losing >_>

Anyways, neither of these really look like they fit the stat spread, but the mummy comes closer, so it gets my vote (the marionette just plain looks like an all-out attacker).
 
In other words, we have less than half a Pokemon here. So stop comparing it to other Pokemon.

Umm excuse me Hyra but shouldn't we be comparing a pokemon we are trying to make to pokemon that already exist as a guide? And who are you to tell me what to do and what not to? Don't be a poke Nazi!
 
Though I don't agree with the final two, I've gotta give it to the mummy.
Marionette does not fit anywhere close to the typing or attributes, despite what anyone says.
 
Being in charge of create a pokemon does not give Hyra the right to ban a topic from discussion in this thread. He should be listening to us and what we have to say, not telling us to stop talking.

it's that you offer nothing constructive. "Oh this looks like Dusknoir boo on you guys I don't like it but won't say how to improve it" is not constructive. Although I have not responded to the posts saying we should do art first (they kind of said my counter argument themselves), I listened to them because they provided an alternative way to do something. You just said "This has similar stats and looks to Dusknoir, bah" It was condescending and basically bashed anyone who voted in these polls. I love how Syclant gets bashed for being too outlandish while this gets bashed for being to similar to an existing Pokemon.

Really, there is no way to change what people want. If we want a Dusknoir not weak to Dark with Fighting STAB subconsciously, that will come out in the polls.

BTW, if the Djinn was winning, you would all be complaining about how similar it is to Machamp.
 
Ok here is my suggestion. 70% of ghost pokemon are uu or better, thats lame, we don't need ghost types and we should of made a grass type poke. The end. I'm not trying to sound like an ass but hey, just voicing my opinion.

Your not doing a shity job Hyra, the poke is just not what i feel we need.
 
Oh, and I'm not sure if this is being discussed in the art thread, but what's this thing's movepool looking like? I kinda like the idea of giving it Rock Slide but not Stone Edge so Gyara/Mence remain decent counters. Bulk Up really doesn't fit on either of them, but as I mentioned in the last topic it's definitely the focus of the stat spread, so...eh. From a design standpoint the mummy does look like it could use Taunt.
 
We're really way past the time for arguing about its type, but whatever.

Both of them scream Taunt, really. We shouldn't give it WoW or Pain Split to keep it from impinging on Dusknoir's territory. I can see the mummy using Hammer Arm and Superpower, along with Shadow Punch and probably both STAB priority moves.
 
Voted Mummy.

Also, what is exactly wrong with Close Combat on this? Though it is powerful, keep in mind this only has 65 Speed and 105 Attack. It will not be sweeping teams very often. It prides itself on it's defenses. Remember that Close Combat reduces both defenses by one level every time it is used. I don't see what is wrong with Close Combat.

Pure Power, however, is another story (that would definitely overpower it).

This post.

and to Darkie, I Ghost can't really drop its defenses after getting in close to hit you because you wouldn't be able to hit it back. This applies less in the case of the mummy, but is still my reason for not wanting Close Combat.
