Time for day 12, favorite Ice,  and mine's 

SNORUNT

Reasons why I chose this pokemon:
:bulletblue: adorable and really charming design in my opinion, love the candy corn ish color and shaping to the over hood thing, and the little brr it's cold face in the official art I love
:bulletred: both the evos for this line greatly confuse me why they come from Snorunt. Glalie's a sort of floating head thing, which I can kind of see with the mouth style and skin color, but personally I really don't like how Glalie looks, it takes the charm from snorunt and blows it up into some dbz/super power ranger final enemy final forme looking head. menacing and cool, but not for the pokemon world in my opinion.  Froslass I actually rather like as a design  and  seriously considered it for this slot today, it was a great poekmon too, I just don't see any hint of Snorunt in it. there's nothing wrong with evos looking totally different from pre evos look at magikarp gyarados, but personally I wanted  some more tribal approach and use of the design elements on Snorunt's hood thing in an evolution. enough about this nit pick though, it doesn't involve snorunt personally but the evolutions
:bulletblue: In a day and age where I've come to judge pokemon half on looks half on usability, it just shows how much I love the visual design of Snorunt, it's pretty much useless in game, even in little cup, but I love it regardless. I don't care if it's any good or not or any of that, I just adore the cute little design more than my like of any other ice type.

that's all for today, tomorrow there will be another one, been working on these ahead of the game and then setting them up to auto submit on the scheduled dates, and it's working wonderfully.

submitted with the scheduled submit, I'll reply to/fix any description typos when I get back

A friend of mine spent ages trying to figure out where to catch a Glalie and didn't realize it evolved from Snorunt ahahah

It's definitely one of the least obvious evolutions out there, though beneath their shells, they're all kind of a circular blob of some sort? Froslass's "kimono" is completely hollow.
Snorunt and Glalie also have a similar marking on their back, though it's hard to notice

Snorunt and Froslass are also both based on ice spirits... the relationship between them kind of intrigued me because of the way it gained a ghost typing and I have all these weird theories about human spirits being able to possess snorunts through a Dawn Stone and such- that would explain the dex entries about it being a woman who died and work with it evolving from snorunt at the same time
