No. 378: Regice

The Crystal King was probably my favorite boss from Paper Mario.

Ah, Regice - is it to be pronounced "regi-ice", thus making the prefix stand out verbally like the rest of the trio, or "rej-ice", which is how it is written. I remember seeing two kids almost come to blows over the debate.

In any case, this is one cool dude (pun VERY much intended). He's a few chunks of living ice crystals, and has an ice-cold stare (get it??). He floats everywhere, doesn't even have to walk, because he's just such a chill (ha-ha!) dude. Okay, okay, I'll stop with the "ice" puns. Fine. Snow more puns from now on.

Also, Regice has Special Defense in spades, in fact second only to Shuckle, who reall doesn't count. However, while impressive, I almost don't care how good a Legendary's stats are, because I won't be using them. You don't get them early enough to need to level them up and build a relationship, and they're mostly overpowered. If you're the kind of scum who ditches a standing member of his team for a legendary, just to beat the Elite Four, then you are a horrible person.

And if you cheat a Lv. 100 legendary into your game, just to beat the in-game trainers? Then may god have mercy on you, for I shall not.


Overall: 6/10
