    Default Move Name Change: Avalanche

    We can make the change, but only if we stand together and UNITE TO FIGHT!

    I've enabled multiple choices to facilitate those who cannot decide, or because some are so similar that it's difficult to decide between them.

    I personally like Icefall best.

    Sorry to reopen this, but I have one concern that wasn't brought up before. Avalanche is a Physical move. Chill Burst sounds clearly to be Special. Is this okay with everyone? Otherwise we'll probably have to go with something else. Kunaiga will be pretty hurt by the change, for one.

    Or Frost Rush. I voted for both as well as Chill Burst.

    Chill Burst seems physical to me, like the pokemon encasing itself in Ice, then rushing at the foe.

    If Chill Burst is deemed not to work, then I would like to submit the name Freeze Crush into consideration.

    I would have though Rock Slide and Earthquake would be Special too, but they're physical. I don't think that the name is a big deal.

    My problem with "[something] Rush" is that it makes me think of Shadow Rush. Freeze Crush seems good to me though, but I still like Chill Burst better.

    Hmm, I do agree with Chill Burst sounding more like a special move.

    Reliability, how are Rock Slide or Earthquake special-sounding? They both bring up images of a very physical impact. Rocks hitting the enemy and the ground shaking/crumbling..

    Anyway, I think we should veto Chill Burst and hold a runoff between Snow Rush, Frost Rush, and I actually like Freeze Crush so maybe these three options in a single-choice poll?

    I've always thought of the Physical/Special split as whether the Pokemon uses it's body or not. If physical impact is what constitutes a physical move, then wouldn't nearly all water moves be physical?

    If we re-do the poll, I do not think we should veto Chill Burst. I would do one between the four.
