It depends on if it has a miniature Leonardo DiCaprio or a rapping dog.

Titanice is mono-ice. It should totally be ice/steel, that'd totally make it less sad.

That will teach me not regurgitate information I half remember from briefly scanning the pokemon uranium wiki looking for stupid designs.

But honestly how is the loving titanic not a steel type. It's literally made if steel.

I think what gets me the most is that the Titanic is found in this tiny-rear end pond, not in the ocean. Also that you need Dive to find it because it is sunk already. :allears:

Titanic sank bow first. Titanice has a face on it's rear end.

It could be rising from the depths like an angry, ancient god of the seas and ice. Prolly not what was intended, but it makes a bit more sense than it sinking and having an assface.

Well, normally every ship is referred to by its crew as a 'she'. But Titanice can also be a male so that's confusing.

No no. I said Jojos as Pokemon trainers. This is clearly Pokemon as JoJos.


Nuclear Eevee is okay but not spectacular design wise and an utter poo poo kicker mechanically.
Titanice needs to be steel type.

Yeah, it would (still) be stupid, but at least it would be vaguely amusing.
It's really weird Titanice is pure Ice though, especially given the game's fetish for dual-types. And you'd think they might have tried to make the Ice type not-garbage.

Well, like most Icebergs, most of the mass would be under the water

Through whatever bizarre logic powers pokémon, I wouldn't be surprised if the small bit we CAN see is in fact the eyelash of some intergalactic demon poking through a dimensional rift

There is in fact a small crew trapped on the ship, shrunk down by a mysterious power

The pokémon's cry is their screams of terror

I mean, if you think it makes the pokemon better, then by all means, feel free to treat is canon, especially if there's nothing in the game that contradicts it...

-
Shame that fangames that take place nowhere near (presumably, anyway) the other regions, yet see fit to reuse old pokemon don't at the very least add some regional variety to their designs or at least use different themes for them


etc, etc

But, as we all know, that'd take time, brains and effort to do, which a fair chunk of fangame creators tend to lack, which leads to half-assed execution and more often than not, a dead fangame

Given how often each game introduced and subsequently discarded a gimmick, odds are we're not getting regional variants next game, especially if it's a Gen IV Remake

HG/SS had one of the best gimmicks in being able to toggle the ability to run which was never used again, forcing you to hold B everywhere you went (Somewhat mitigated by Kalos' rollarblades though)

Heck, even Alola's ability to dress yourself pales next to X/Y's selection

Gen IV is explicitly where the regional-form idea and form-changing in general started! Shellos and Gastrodon being the premier example as a species having differences depending on where you find it (though they're just cosmetic). I very much imagine Positioning Pearl and Dated Diamond being set up sorta like X/Y, with the two halves of Sinnoh getting separate Pokedex segments, and having more Pokemon that do the same thing as Shellos, but expanded significantly.

Also I doubt they've totally dropped the idea of Mega Pokemon? But I think they'll stick to introducing them in remakes to hype up the new things that go on in remade regions. I could definitely see them doing it for particularly prominent Pokemon owned by particularly prominent individuals. They already have Garchomp for Cynthia but they might change it around and give her a Mega Spiritomb instead (since they'll definitely be doing something different for that guy), Cyrus might end up rolling with a Mega Weavile, I'd be endlessly amused by giving the Galactic commanders similar things so Jupiter and Mars troll around with a Mega Purugly and Skuntank, and I imagine them giving the signature legendaries and maybe the Regi dudes something special. Could also see a Mega Carnivine, Luxray, Roserade, Floatzel, Vespiquen, Lumineon...Chimecho? Snorlax? Sudowoodo? Mr. Mime?

Man there's so much stuff in that game that I really have to wonder how they'll rework it
