CAP 9 CAP 9 - Part 16 - Sprite Poll 3

[Plus]

THE GRAND FINALE! THE LAST POLL OF CAP 9!

A whale, god damn!

Name: Stop the Secondary
Description: A Pokémon that through means of ability, moves, and typing, can stop a variety of the non damaging affect of moves and moves of non damaging origin.

Justification: While the immediate threat of damaging moves is large and present, the affect of moves such as status, Trick, Leech Seed, Taunt, Stealth Rock, Spikes have arguably had a greater affect to the metagame than anything has ever had, something that this would greatly look in to.

Questions to be Answered:
~ How easily would a Pokémon with such large of a niche be able to fit into a competitive team?
~ How large of an impact would the reducation of non damaging affects and moves have on the metagame?

- What, if any, would happen to the types of teams being used?
- How would this affect the usage of these types of moves?​

~ How much of an affect does typing have on the ability for ANY Pokémon to perform this duty?

Typing: Dark/Ground
Ability: Auto-Magic Coat
Ability: Guts
Stat Spread: 133/122/72/71/72/95
Name: Colossoil

[Pombo]

aragornbird once more, because it still wants to eat your Latias. With that i mean he is more active, and that he wants to STOP you, not to WALL you. There`s a difference.
I also like the backsprite more.

I`m sure that just like me, a load of people will vote for flavor things.

Cartoons! also made a very cool sprite but i still prefer aragorn`s one.

 

[Masamune]

GO GO ARAGORNBIRD

THE FORCE IS WITH YOU!

Seriously though, aragornbird ftw. Supported since the start of CAP9, and I just don't like Cartoons'.

 

[RBG]

no offense, but Cartoons looks more constipated while Aragornbird's looks like it wants to eat you

Which is why I voted aragornbird

 

[Umbreon Dan]

every time i look at cartoons's, i can't help but think it looks like it's about to fall asleep

i'm voting aragornbird

 

[Golbez_743]

aragornbird's backsprite is wonderful, but I still had to go with Cartoons!. It has an overall bulky feel, and looks like it's getting ready to beat the crap out of you.

 

[Staraptor Call]

Cartoons's sprite looks too much like it's sad, and that doesn't really fit with Colossoil. I voted Aragornbird.

If this is the last poll of CAP9, when will the name of Auto Magic Coat be decided?

 

[Blue_Tornado]

Aragornbird, like everyone said before - it just looks better. It's not sitting there like the great wall of china, unlike Cartoons!' sprite. A powerful Pokemon such as this one should be ready to leap at you at every given moment, not just sit there and wait. That's why Aragornbird tops it.

 

[Synth]

I voted for Cartoons! because his sprite looks more professional and shows really well that this fella is a dark-type. Cartoons! has always had the best Colossoil sprite in my opinion and I'm happy to say that he should win this!!!

Cartoons!'s sprite also emphasizes hugeness and power that other sprites have failed to do. I also love how this sprite shows Colossoil just sitting there, staring into your soul... waiting to strike, destroy, and pick at your bones. And I also love the black drills on the shiny. It would definitely be something I'd use in my battles! Go Cartoons!

 

[Proto_Fan]

Cartoons! has my vote. Since KoA is out of the race, I figure I'd go with the overconfident pose. He's not looking to actively lodge you in the ground, but to shut down your status moves and the like. Also, the back sprite is rather nice, giving it a threatening shark-like look to it, while maintaining its presence as a narwhal/whale.

 

[UnoAcoustic]

aragornbird, because Cartoons' sprite looks emo. aragornbird's sprite is hardcore.

 

[GAK]

Aragornbird because the sprites look more active on his and the other one's smile looks kind of wierd.

 

[GOTO2435]

i picked cartoons mainly becouse the "just try something you little bastard" look it gives gets me into thinking that it is there to screw anyone who tries to mess with him (by using secondary effects) also, i don´t like the look on aragornbird´s

 

[Synth]

aragornbird, because Cartoons' sprite looks emo. aragornbird's sprite is hardcore.

You do know that Colossoil is Dark type, right? Cartoons!'s best displays the dark type, looking like it's about the beat the living crap out of you which is why I voted for him, and not aragornbird. Aragornbird's just looks too unprofessional in my opinion.

 

[KnightoftheWind]

Since KoA is gone, I'm choosing aragornbird. It has better proportions than Cartoons' one and a much more offensive pose.

 

[Azule]

Im voting Aragonbird since KoA is gone for all the reasons outlined above, basicly. Cartoons! Sprite is awesome and all, but something looks wrong about it.

 

[Raikaria]

Don't we still need polls about things such a weight? That is kinda competitive, when you think about Grass Knot...

Besides the point, Cartoons is my choice of the two reminaing. I'm sad for KoA, as his sprite was my choice, but, how many polls have actually gone my way this CAP? Ground typing, and even then, I wanted it as Primary...

 

[Exarius]

Cartoons!, because he looks like he's stopping and beating the crap out of any secondary users. +that look in his face looks like he is saying "You wanna fuck with me? Huh? Come on, try it!" And Aragonbirds sprite looks a bit wierd IMO, though I have to admit I like his shiny colors.

 

[Arb]

i like cartoons because its uber tought looking like it can take anything! aragornbird's looks like collosiol has legs beneath it because of the way it is standing so straight up

 

[Gothic Togekiss]

I knew it would come down to who made the heaviest, angriest looking submission you ever laid eyes on. Well KoA put up a good fight but it seems the crowd has spoken....well my vote goes to A-bird since don't really have much options to chose from.

 

[Purple Wobbuffet]

aragonbird again, Cartoons! looks like it has a 10 attack stat and Stall. aragonbird's looks hungry for things to Pursuit.

 

[mudkip72]

Voted Aragonbird. Cartoons seems too fat/bulky to me, eyes look more sleepy than pissed. Aragonbird's looks agile and fierce.

 

[petrie911]

Cartoons!' sprite looks more like a whale to me, whereas aragornbird's is just...something. That is why I voted for Cartoons!.

 

[locopoke]

voted for cartoons!. his design looks bulkier and the big horn is cool too

 

[ungulateman]

Man, it would be nice if you could have several winners, and you could pick which sprite in the Shoddy screen, like how you can with HG/SS sprites. Anyway, I'm voting for Aragornbird for the same reasons as last time.
