Cold Appearances

There's a certain font on mobile phones that I tend to try to avoid if possible. The reason is that the font is rather standard and most importantly conveys a cold impression by its appearance, at least by my personal regard. Even so, that's something that can conceivably occur for any visible thing, and some Pokémon things could certainly be included as well, as they are certainly very much visible in different ways. As such, I've attempted to write up this discussion to see how it could be with Pokémon things.

When Pokémon is involved, there is certainly the Ice type, to which some Pokémon belong. But then there are Pokémon that do appear rather cold (literally), one of which is Cryogonal, which is just a living snowflake. Another would be the Bergmite family, including its next-of-kin's Hisuian form, the latter of which could be construed to look slightly "warmer". Then, it's also impossible to forget about Kyurem, whose demeanor is totally cold even with Dragon influence. It may be hard to dispute their coldness by their looks.

As for figurative coldness, things that have relations to other than the Ice type would apply. Giovanni, the Team Rocket boss in his various guises, may be considered to have a cold impression by appearance, not unlike the mobile phone font I described above. Even (for the parts) without snow, Mt. Coronet can have a cold impression about it due to its towering height and repute. It may also be possible to consider Metagross and its kin as cold due to their Steel typing and obvious outward appearance, even if they may not be inside.

By the above, a cold impression may be gotten not just by things that are definitively cold (evoking icy qualities) but also things that are suggestively cold by their specific features. The latter is what I saw in that mobile phone font, which is hard to be separated according to my judgment. Yet it's also not hard to look for and delineate Pokémon things that have similar impressions, even if unlike the mobile phone font, they are not meant to be avoided, but to be enjoyed as best as they can.
