Ice Type is the Least Imaginative

ICE IS CREATIVE. YEESH. If you ask me, the Vannilite line are incredibly imaginative. Same with all of the Snorunt line. Ice is my favorite type, tied with Dragon.

There's really nothing wrong with Jynx. It just happens to look like a person, as do Alakazam, Mr. Mime, and Gardevoir. Except it's an ice type instead of just psychic, so that makes it even more awesome. It's also not too shabby competitively. It's special attack stat is beast.

Oh great, another thread where people can come to bash Vanillite? Woe is me...
Ice is my favourite type, and I find them pretty creative. I mean, exactly which are unimaginative, and why?

I actually love the current ice type Pokemon designs. Like Aveil said in an earlier post, they may be unimaginative in concept, but the final execution of the Pokemon's design is done really well.
I mean, there are Pokemon like Froslass, which many can point towards some "weeaboo herp derp japanese kimono" generic design, but I think it's done really well. I never would've seen that coming from GameFreak, and it's Pokemon like that that keep me into it.
Also I don't care what people say, Cryogonal and the Vanilluxe line are pure win in my book.

Well, I guess I could agree with the "nothing like Ice types that I sometimes imagine" but I don't flag that as the current types being unimaginative. I actually read that as "wow I never would've thought of that". It's just my opinion that I don't think they're generic at all. One of the reasons Ice type is one of my top favorites is because of the Pokemon designs.

She lives in cold areas and her purple skin is reminiscent of frostbite.

To say that those two pokemon are the only cool and fresh designs are completely subjective. And how does everything else look like a repeat, no other pokemon looks even close to Delibird or Frosslass, as examples.
We do have polar bears, but an ice type wolf would be cool. However Suicune is a wold and represent the Nothern Wind so that is pretty much the same, just with another type.

Ice pokemon are mainly used to stop dragons although steel is more common for that...

I can't tell whether or not this is serious.
She appears in icy areas and learns Ice-type moves.
Duh.
Well, then.

Honestly, there are few Pokemon that I dislike, and none of them are Ice-type. Granted, I don't love every Ice-type either. I love the Snorunt line and the Swinub line, and I like the others decently enough to use them in-game.

Lol you're a fool for saying this. I'm not trying to prove or argue my point, nor am I trying to discourage anybody from liking the type. I'm not trying to persuade anyone of my opinion, simply that I'm stating it. The ice element is portrayed in really cool ways in lots of other video games, but when I look at the offering of ice Pokemon, I don't find very many that I just glance at it and say "Wow, that design looks so bad-***!" It's just my opinion that they're unimaginative, because imo, the Ice Pokemon so far just look like what someone would expect the ice type to logically look like, minus a few like Froslass, the Weavile Family, Articuno, Glaceon, and Kyurem. Again, just imo.
What I like about Ice types is that there's a good type chance for some pokemon that aren't just normal animal-like Pokemon. I crave for more of the random inanimate-object type Pokemon like ice cream, snowflakes, refrigerators, snow clouds, etc.
I personally am kinda tired of the fluffy animal pokemon that get all the attention. But whatever, I can't really complain since that's a normal thing in Pokemon.

Mr. Marowak
was wrong about Gen6
She's that way due to her cold, unforgiving, biased, hate-filled disposition. But enough about my family. Jynx's Ice-Type? I don't get it either.
So, when you think ice-type, you would imagine giant bivalves, blonde humanoid figures and moving trees?
I'm not really getting your point. I don't expect ice types to all be BA and sharp; I don't expect ANY type to always be awesome, nor do I expect any of them to conform to my personal definition of cool. Dunno why you think they should. I fail to see how awesome = imaginative unless you're using a different definition of imaginative than I'm used to.
