EDIT: Check a few posts down to see my explanations of why certain moves are up on the list.
Yay, art has been decided! My choice didn't win (again!), but that's fine too. For all you dedicated spriters out there, keep working. Sunday had the latest sprite design in the old poll, but I'm not going to show it because it might distract people. You can see it and it's predecessors here. Anyway, here's your new pokemon so far:
Bug/Ice
Ability: Compound Eyes/ Mountaineer
70/ 116/ 70/ 114/ 64/ 121
Mountaineer: This pokemon takes no indirect or direct damage from Rock type attacks upon switching in. This doesn't block additional effects.
Pretty good, no? Just by looking at it, you wouldn't think it's broken. It's like a mixed Heracross. But you can't always judge a pokemon by it's stats, because movepool matters quite a bit (which is why Entei still sucks). So in this poll I'm going on a different track: instead of seeing what you most want to see, you'll be voting on what you don't want to see. It's already been decided that this pokemon is going to be good, it's now up to us to limit how broken it is.
Thunderbolt and Thunder have already been eliminated by me. As have every other move that is unrealistic on this guy (the starter tutors, Draco Meteor, etc.). The moves you see in the poll above are by no means the last that will be voted upon. I'm encouraging people to post moves that should be brought up for debate, though I believe I've covered the basics.
But why do you want to hear me talk? Get voting! This poll will close in two days, and you will each get two votes. Until further notice, this is a two-parter.
