Yesterday was the Swanna line, an average Pokemon by /vp/'s standards, and today we finally reach...the Vanilluxe line.
My thoughts: Well here we are, the 2nd member of the infamous Gen 5 duo, Vanilluxe and its evos Vanilite and Vanillish. I'm just gonna let you all talk about this one. I have no input.
>>
I like it, Vanilluxe is my bro.

It's cute.

>>25980458
Don't even think about it. Vanilluxe is for cute, not eating.

I think its a decent mon
I caught a shiny one, and i honestly kinda prefer the normal coloration. I dont get all the hate, but thats just people who cant think outside the box spreading bs. Whatev. Would train/10
>>
I've always been okay with the Vanil line and I like them a fair amount now. Vanilluxe even has pretty good stats.

It needs Snow Warning as its hidden ability though, not Weak Armor. The dex talks about it expelling violent blizzards.
>>
>>25980501
I would prefer violent wizards, would make a pretty solid strategy for winning

They're okay. I don't love them or hate them. I find it ironic how genwunners hate on them when they're such a "gen 1" design, though.
>>
>>25980421
It would have been a decent line if it weren't for Vanilluxe. Pokemon with several heads are by far the worst designs, and it has no business being a 3-stage Pokemon when it's so mediocre.
>>
>>25980537
>"gen 1 design"
Explain.
>>
>>25980421
I like it
>>
Fell in love with it the moment it got leaked with the other gen 5 pokemon, got an instant spot on my team. They tapped into that Dragon Quest Slime aesthetic I like, too bad the rest of the fanbase doesn't seem to like that?
>>
>>25980555
It grows an extra head
It's pretty much Ice Cream Weezing
>>
Hating Vanilluxe is a forced meme.

The Vanillite family are my absolute favorite Pokemon.
>>
>>25980555
>fairly minimal design
>heads multiply when it evolves
>its happy face and the cold air it puffs out reminds me of Koffing
>>
>>25980537
Anymore pics like this? I like it. Doesn't necessarily have to be Vanillite and Swirlix though. Just something cute and dark
>>
>>25980568
But Weezing is a good design too, and it's actually useable. If it was an ice cream Weezing it wouldn't be happy about growing a conjoined twin.
>>
I used one on my B2 playthrough and it was extremely fragile. It's Special Attack was strong enough for it to warrant a spot on my team but jesus, not even the defense moves it has could save it.

I used it all the way till the champion and now it's in ORAS with the rest of my party. I hope it gets a little bit more useful later on.
>>
>>25980546
>multi-headed Pokemon have the worst designs.
What about ones that are purposely based on something with more than one head?
>>
>>25980586
>Inb4 dead charmander/dead spoink
>>
>>25980589
But anon, nobody use Vanilluxe, that's why it's happy to grow another head, to have someone to talk with.

I like Vanillite. Vanillish is tolerable.
Vanilluxe is a shit design. The line just gets worse and worse and drives the concept into the ground.
>>
>>25980628
Hydreigon's okay, because its other heads function as hands too and don't look identical to the main one. It's shit like Dugtrio, Magneton, Exeggcute and Binacle that's plain awful.

I unironically would like a Mega Vanilluxe.

Stats go from 71/95/85/110/95/79 to 71/105/95/145/120/99. Dunno what ability.

I think Vanillite is adorable, but really dislike the evolutions. I just dislike how it just gets bigger/more heads, which is the biggest reason gen 1 remains my least favorite.

Also, since i understood Vanillite was a little ice sprite that looks like ice cream, I wanted it to become more ice sprite like,
>>
>>25980421
Best designed ice types in gen 5, not that the competition was any good. Its a fun design that doesn't take itself too seriously.
>>
>>25980421
I like Vanillish. Its body could pass as both an icicle and ice cream cone, and doesn't over sell the concept with a straw. A Vanillish with Vanillite's face would've been a great one-stage mon if it had a gimmick of some sort. Maybe a Brain Freeze ability that freezes the opponent if it uses a drain attack (including Leech Seed) or biting attack.
>>
>>25980421

I like them a lot more knowing the snow is a light powdering that's just on the top half of the full body icicle.

The only thing I would change about this line is that Vanilluxe should have been a double-scoop that looked like a snowman (still with a face on each segment), with the "straw" in place of the carrot nose.

It actually looks like a proper evolution rather than "it just gets another head".
>>
>>25980421
I really like this line. I do not understand the shitstorm over it. I think naysayers just don't like the fact it's supposed to look like ice cream. Vanilluxe isn't perfect, but it's still pretty good design wise.

The line is cute and clever. Plus the fact it has two heads is sort of an homage to gen 1, while still fitting in with the concept behind it.

It's a designated shit design based on a literal ice cream, get over it, most of the fans dislike it. It's shit competitively wise too.

>>25980658
Magneton is literally the consequence of magnetism and fits its theme, Exeggcute is both a joke about seeds and eggplants and palms plus some myth but at least it does also make good use of its type, Psychic part allows them to communicate with each other and synchronize them, Binacle is like a coral or some shit, can't really defend Barbaracle, it's obnoxious and Dugtrio is most likely a colony, probably the most farfecthed one of all listed, not sure what was its purpose.
>>
>>25980926
that's not how icicles look like
it's a just a retarded ice cream
>>
>>25982596
>Binacle is like a coral or some shit
The animal it's based on is literally in its name.

Dugtrio is based on wack-a-mole having more moles appear at a higher difficulty. It possibly also references how naked mole rats are the only animals besides insects to display eusocial behavior.

Should have been a single evo line, or had some other interesting part of the design other than ice cream cone.

Personally, I don't like it. I find the design to be a bit unimpressive, especially when compared to other Gen 5 like Hydreigon

I have two problems with it:
1. It's just an ice cream cone, which makes its concept terrible. It has no special talents or any reason to justify it being an ice cream cone.
2. It's stupid looking. Like Chespin levels of stupid. Look at that retarded smile. Or those dumb beady eyes. It's one of those designs that just tries too hard to be cute. Most designs that have this problem usually grow out of it when they evolve, like Pidove or Fletchling, but not Vanillite, it remains stupid looking throughout the entire line.
