Sanity: Looks like that boss from the Kirby games.

OrangeCrush: Another piece of s*** joins the party.

Paratroopa: not really a lot to say about a cocoon with eyes

Brayze: ''You know what can eat it slightly more than cascoon? Silkoon. Just slightly though I mean they're nearly identical.''

Snake5s: We ran out of ideas and made Metapod again

Suor: Above Cascoon because it washes itself.

Gen: And the award for worst cocoon ever goes to...

Arti: ''Not that the Pokemon in this line are any better, anyways. Random evolutions suck.''

Logicblade: ''Literally flipped a coin for the cocoons. Silcoon was tails.''

Giggs: This pokemon is a waste of bits and the person who designed it is a waste of atoms.

Cybat: ''Dumber looking than its counterpart. (Well, all 5 of its counterparts, really.)''

BetrayedTangy: Yawn, white cocoon

XIII: I feel like Kakuna at least had some sort of attitude and a more complex, interesting design going for it. KBM: ''Proof that a lazy concept can always be executed more lazily than it was before. At least Kakuna and Metapod had distinctive shapes. Silcoon is literally just a ball of cocoon with red eyes.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The Cocoon Pokemon. To make up an unfunny joke for both Cascoon and Silcoon seems like a waste of time for those employed by the Pokedex.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''I consider this to be basically the same as Cascoon. I will be very disappointed if they don’t end up next to each other on the list.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''I'm unable to tell the 'coons from each other. IIRC this one is Beautifly's preevo?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: kinda pointless

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''It’s just awful. You have no control over getting it or Cascoon. That’s stupid. You get the perfect IVs for a Beautifly and NO IT’S A DUSTOX LOL no that’s awful what the fuck gamefreak''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''This might be the worst Pokemon of all time. Metapod and Kakuna at least had some personality and a splash of color thrown in to offset the fact they were cocoons. Even Pupiturd and Whatthehellgon have some attributes that make me laugh at how bad they are. This thing is a cocoon and is completely boring and devoid of personality and color at the same time. It’s a crime.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Junglebob: The most boring Pokemon ever <h2 class="MsoNormal">'''134. Cascoon'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: Also looks like that boss from the Kirby games.

<p class="MsoNormal">Para: he's got slightly cooler eyes than silcoon, so he wins that battle

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''There is only one cocoon pokemon in my heart and that is the angry cocoon, pupitar. Cascoon can eat it''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: ''Extremely redundant with Silcoon. Gamefreak should've combined them like how Wurmple is Caterpie + Weedle.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Snake5s: We ran out of ideas and made Silcoon again

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''Above Silcoon for color scheme alone. Plus it looks kind of angry. This won’t be the last time I do that.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: Below Silcoon because it doesn't wash itself.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''I know they're essentially the same but I prefer Cascoon's color pallet to drab Silcoon's monotone s***. Also it's got an evil eye peaking out which automatically makes it better. But yeah they're still ass.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Giggs: ''This pokemon is a waste of bits and the person who designed it is a waste of atoms. Higher than Silcoon on the basis that its colour is marginally less s***.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Just as boring as all the rest. At least you only have it for 3 levels.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: Both of these cocoons are worthless, but this one evolves into a worse Pokemon.

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''Literally flipped a coin for the cocoons. Cascoon was heads.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The Cocoon Pokemon. Years were spent trying to determine what the red indention on a Cascoon’s side was – an eye? A nose? A mouth? Recently however, a group of drunken frat guys discovered that it’s actually a sexual orifice, now referred to in the scientific community as the Asscoon.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''I consider this to be basically the same as Silcoon. I will be very disappointed if they don’t end up next to each other on the list.''

<p class="MsoNormal">BetrayedTangy: Yawn, purple cacoon

<p class="MsoNormal">XIII: I feel like Metapod at least had some sort of attitude and a more complex, interesting design going for it. KBM: Exactly the same as Silcoon except with a worse color scheme.

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: It’s slightly better than Silcoon because it has a better color.

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''I can't differentiate between this guy and the other. I think this one will evolve to Dustox?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: kinda pointless

<p class="MsoNormal">Junglebob: Angry eyes make it only the second-most boring Pokemon ever

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Why? You don’t even have control over if you can get it or not. What if you played a Fire Emblem game where you had no control over your Knight becoming a General or a Sage?'' <h2 class="MsoNormal">'''133. Feebas'''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''A fun spin on the Magikarp concept. I love how stupidly rare it is in comparison, though. And at least it can learn useful moves from TMs. It also looks hilarious.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: Magikarp's uglier brother.

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: ''ugly fish need to be loved too. It's okay feebas, you might be an ugly magikarp without your makeup, but I still… uh, sort of like you… don't touch me''

<p class="MsoNormal">XIII: Magikarp without the comedy

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: a successfully designed ugly fish, based on that myth they tell ugly children to give them hope (it is not a true story, sorry uggos)

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: I hate it when pokemon with unique gimmicks have those gimmicks stolen later on

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The Fish Pokemon. Feebas’ top fin evolved with a hole in it to provide ease-of-access for fishermen. Fishermen have evolved the ability to throw this disgusting piss-poor excuse for a Pokemon back into the drink when caught.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: A part of me appreciates the parallel with Magikarp: a weak fish that eventually shall become MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE, but the process involves in even locating the ugly counterpart, and later evolving it into its beautiful final form kind of makes me want to roast this hideous thing on a pike.

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''I mean, this was a pretty well executed design. They wanted to make a really ugly weak looking fish. And they did. Cool.''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: Ugly, but at least that was the point...

<p class="MsoNormal">Junglebob: It's pretty funny how hard it was to find him in RSE, but these days he's just "that ugly Magikarp ripoff"

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''Should have been named Purugly instead. I can understand making it hard to evolve, but hard to catch AND evolve?''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: ''You're not Magikarp and you'll never be anything near as good as Gyarados. Go away.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''Dumb Magikarp clone that's even harder to evolve. And Milotic is pretty lame too.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Giggs: ''I mean, it's intentionally s***. But that's just a subset of s***.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Magikarp at least has the decency of being easy to get and evolve. Yeah, Feebas learns TMs, but it looks ten times less appealing and even Milotic is not enough of a reward for what you go through to just GET a Feebas let alone evolve one.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: This gives Serperior and Seviper a run for their money for ugliest Pokemon.

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: did we need a special type magikarp?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: ''Ugh, this annoyance. Trying to find him was always a pain in the ass.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cody: ''Ugly, a pain to find, and a pain to evolve. Who actually raised one of these in Gen 3?''

<p class="MsoNormal">BetrayedTangy: I f****** hate this Pokemon, it's so hard to find and doesn't have the joke status of Magikarp.

<p class="MsoNormal">Karo: ''you cant spell Feebas without ass. well, actually you can, but that doesn't make the horrid thing suck any less.'' <h2 class="MsoNormal">'''132. Illumise'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: I was easily swayed by Gen to like this Pokemon because she pointed out that this looks like a tranny Squirtle.

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: Think of the children!

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''Thanks to Mer (I think) I'll never unsee her as a Squirtle in drag. This is not necessarily a bad thing because without that tidbit of humor added to her she'd be much much much lower. She's ugly as hell.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: Slightly memorable to me because I used to level grind in an area with a ton of these.

<p class="MsoNormal">BetrayedTangy: A cooler looking Volbeat

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: I put it this much lower than Volbeat purely because the anime confirms its name is ‘ill-oo-me-say’

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Geez. Way to ruin fireflies for me. I love how they like to have this and Volbeat as version differences when you can breed one for the other.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: At least it looks classy and happy, unlike its sad sod counterpart.

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The Firefly Pokemon. If an Illumise breaks out into songs from the Ferngully soundtrack, feel free to step on its overly cutesy ass. There’s no such thing as an endangered species in Hoenn.''

<p class="MsoNormal">XIII: A boring bug.

<p class="MsoNormal">Para: well, it doesn't have light shooting out of its ass, so that's an improvement

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''The Bug-types in this generation are just miserable, I tell ya what. Illumise is a real achievement…in being terrible. What. Not one bit of appeal on it. Unlike with Volbeat, I can’t even make jokes about its name.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: Useless, just like Volbeat.

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''Thanks for rubbing in how stupid 17th century european dress was, Japan. Maybe you're okay after all! You can have your military back lol j/k''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''Like I said in Volbeat's (and Plusle's) writeup, I hate this whole “cousin Pokémon” gimmick, or whatever you want to call it. At least Volbeat has a slightly better color scheme, though, which is literally the only way to differentiate between these two ugly bugs. (Who've got nobody to hug.)''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: Somehow worse than cocoons.

<p class="MsoNormal">Giggs: ''Holy christ I remember Volbeat and Illumise being pointless but I do not remember them being this reprehensible. These bastards look like the worst kind of people, the people that spend an inordinate amount of time trying to look cute and in the end just make you wanna punch them in their f***ing dumb faces. They're like nine-year old girls in Pokemon form, and I simply cannot abide that. F*** right off.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Luvdisc is the stupidest Pokemon ever and over the years, I have grown to love it. This generation has like ten Pokemon that could be #1 but Luvdisc is my most consistent favorite because it’s just so fucking dumb, awful, oh hai Mark, etc.. It is a Pokemon that transcends badness and becomes the greatest thing since sliced bread. On a less ironic note, it provided me with heart scales once upon a time, so it’s got that going for it. That sums it up.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: ''So it's just a heart that floats around in the water? That's dumb enough to rank high for me!''

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: TWO LUVDISCS KISSING MAKE A BUTTERFLY OF LOVE.

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: I know he's universally reviled but fish still deserve love too!

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''It’s a drink coaster. But I took my own advice from my Nosepass writeup and relaxed. It actually is pretty funny.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Snake5s: Still better than Luvdigitaldownload

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''It’s only this high because of its hilarious strategy guide for Gen IV on Smogon. Apart from that, it’s pretty much the definition of dumb and useless. Like it just has no business existing. Yeah, a funny little rant boosted it by about 20 spots. That’s how much apathy there is at the bottom of my list.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cody: It has a nice shiny color… yeah, this thing is pretty stupid.

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''while a single heart scale will help restore lost memories, eating an entire luvdisc turns your life into a David Lynch movie. not recommended''

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The Rendezvous Pokemon. The Pokedex entry for this Pokemon simply read “Sucks” for many years until equal rights organizations protested this as defamatory. We still stand by that entry. Luvdisc sucks.''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: I used to tolerate him, but Alomomola brought out the worst of its (few) fans.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ecks: Thanks for the Heart Scales?

<p class="MsoNormal">Giggs: ''Honestly, far from the worst thing in this generation. Though it's still indefensibly bad so why am I defending Luvdisc.''

<p class="MsoNormal"> KBM:  ''See literally everybody else's writeup. Calling it now: this is the first Pokémon out.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: It's a source of Heart Scales, but other than that it's completely useless.

<p class="MsoNormal">XIII: A classically bad Pokemon, I don't think anyone would argue with this placement.

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''Someone will probably put this in their Top 10 for a stupid reason. But it's just so meaningless...''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''I really thought this was going to be last when I started ranking, but nope, couldn't do it. The other 3 are worse. At least it can give you Heart Scales.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''Honestly? The design is kind of cute. Way too simple, but cute nonetheless. My thing is... we already have so many fish pokemon, most of which are already useless. Did we really need this thing? Did we really need another pure water type fish with a plain design that adds nothing to the table in terms of stats or moves and only exists to peddle Heart Scales no the f*** we did not. So even though it's not inoffensive in itself, in terms of the roster as a whole it not only did not need to exist but should be eradicated from existence for being a useless nothing. Just looking at it makes me angry. Why are you even here tainting my favorite generation with your nothingness?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''This better be last or I have lost all faith in board 8. Betcha Sanity has this like 5th or something.''

<p class="MsoNormal">BetrayedTangy: Lame Pokemon design, with absolutely no purpose at all.

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''I went into this list intending to put Luvdisc on bottom, and I succeeded. It’s not the worst pokemon in the franchise, but it’s the worst of the first three generations. It’s almost mindboggling how complex Luvdisc’s awfulness is. Not only is it just a heart-shaped fish; not only is its design super lazy; not only are its lips extremely ugly; not only is it just another useless gimmick pokemon that doesn’t evolve into anything useful; but you also have to deal with it to get valuable Heart Scales. Luvdisc is just such amazing crap that I’m almost awed by it, and probably I would be but for some of the far worse pokemon that came later.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Para: ''it's a worm with a butt for a face. Buttworm''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''Its face kinda looks like a butt so it gets to go in the middle of the list! Everything lower than this is worse than a worm with a butt for a face.''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: Schrodinger's crappy bug Pokemon

<p class="MsoNormal">Junglebob: ''I think I like this guy better than Caterpie. That's not exactly high praise though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: Too common and evolves into mostly trash.

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''I liked Caterpie and Weedle. I don’t like you.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Giggs: Wurmple's design is not actually that bad, but by definition it is useless and all around terrible.

<p class="MsoNormal">XIII: Caterpie without the stuff that makes Caterpie not complete s*** and let's be honest Caterpie is like 80% s***.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''I'm sure everyone is going to complain about its evolution mechanics and at least one person is going to complain that its mouth looks like a butt, but I for one am going to take the high road... and complain that it's an uncute Caterpie ripoff.''

<p class="MsoNormal">BetrayedTangy: Gen 3's Weedle, just not as cute.

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The Worm Pokemon. It’s a worm with testicles on its face. What more do you want to know?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: It's not even purple, it's orange-ish.

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: Bad enough they made an early bug that is completely derivative of Caterpie/Weedle, but they also gave it one of the dumbest evolution methods in Pokemon.

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: Lest we forget, my feelings regarding bugs are somewhat akin to those of Misty – and this is literally just an uglier version of Caterpie that evolves really stupidly.

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ‘hey phil draw some more caterpillars, there aren’t nearly enough cocoon pokemon yet’

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''Ugh. Grumpy fat bug with neither in-game nor competitive viability at all.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Now if this Volbeat collaborated with Mille Petrozza or King Diamond it’d be worth it, but no. This thing and Illumise are just so lame.

<p class="MsoNormal">Giggs: ''Clamperl is sweet. I'm not sure what they could have done with it evolution-wise, but it deserves better than those two horrid monstrosities.''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: This thing is actually not too bad; I'd just like to know how the f*** it's supposed to evolve into either of the things it evolves into.

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Maybe the only Pokemon I can think of that is arguably more useful than TWO Pokemon it evolves into (or at least has been at some point).

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The Bivalve Pokemon. Clamperl’s shell is a valuable commodity in southern Hoenn; thousands of Clamperl shell bikinis are sold as part of Little Mermaid costumes each Halloween, resulting in defenseless Clamperl being chucked into the Sharpedo tanks at Sea World.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: Other than the split-evo and its most basic infos (type, shape, name), it's utterly and despicably unremarkable.

<p class="MsoNormal">Karo: ''how does a clam evolve into two sea eels? that is really pushing it, Gamefreak. I still maintain that there was some sort of confusion or miscommunicaton during the game's production, and they accidentally had Clamperl evolve into Gorebyss instead of Luvdisc.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: Its shiny doesn’t have a black pearl I mean come on how do you **** that up

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: I'm sorry, but I can't look at it without thinking of genitalia.

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''There are so many nonsensical Water evolutions, but his two are near the top of the list. Clamperl itself has a perfectly reasonable animate clam design so I don't understand what happened.''

<p class="MsoNormal">XIII: The whole family is utterly boring.

<p class="MsoNormal">Para: basically a testicle with a dumb face

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''The only reason I kinda dislike it is because of how much it showed up when I was looking for a Relicanth. Apart from that, I usually forget it’s there.''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: She's a bit hard on the eyes, but Toxic + Dive is good in the early Battle Factory rounds so I'll cut her some slack.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''This thing is full of suck. I like how the original RS gives you one item like it's for a super important pokemon only to potentially evolve this stupid sack of crap. And me being the dingus I am, when I played blind my first time through I picked the Deep Sea Tooth because fangs are a lot cooler than scales. I was not pleased.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: I don't know why because you don't even go through the Rusturf tunnel that often, but for some reason these guys being the only encounters in there really annoyed me and I got sick of them.

<p class="MsoNormal">BetrayedTangy: Another ugly Pokemon at least sound Pokemon is a cool idea.

<p class="MsoNormal">Karo: A constipated bunny blob with a face that could give small children nightmares.

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''Easily one of my least favorite lines in all of Pokemon. They’re all beyond hideous (those eyes are actually kind of disturbing), and sound based attacks have a tendency to have super annoying effects, so battling them was annoying as hell.

The first is lady beefs. I can't believe I just used the term lady beefs due to gamefaqs censoring. I mean, that's way grosser.)''

<p class="MsoNormal">Scarlet: ''The South Sea Pokemon. If you straighten a Goreabyss and slash its throat, it turns out that it makes an excellent quill pen.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''At least it's a good deal prettier than Huntail. But there are so many damn Water Pokémon this generation that the ones that overshadow it overshadow it by a LOT and I don't have any brain power left to devote to this line.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Can occasionally be really scary to fight one, but…otherwise, I hate it. If it’s supposed to be pretty, that is an area Gamefreak failed in.

<p class="MsoNormal">Giggs: ''This must have the most inappropriate name in the series. Gorebyss sounds like a subterranean demon, some seafloor iron giant primed to rise up and destroy the continental shelf. But instead we get a prim f***ing pink piece of piss ugh go away''

Magmortar: '' More annoying to catch than basically any non-roaming legendary, which is one HELL of an achievement. Unlike some other stupid hard to get Pokemon though, Beldum eventually becomes incredible. So there’s that.''

Scarlet: '' The Iron Ball Pokemon. Beldum’s weren’t discovered until 1983, when one asked C-3PO to state his business at Jabba’s Palace. Since then, Beldum has had a lucrative career filming Wal-Mart security tapes.''

Cybat:  Really cool looking for a basic Pokemon but I hate how it can't learn any TMs.

Brayze:  I know bugs are cool but nincada isn't even interesting, at least give it fire tusks or poisonous feet or something.

XIII:  I enjoy the Ninjask/Shedinja evos, but not enough to place the boring Nincada higher than this.

Starfox: ''So when I was first playing Ruby, it was during one of those once-per-18 years cicada outbreaks. It seemed like it infected my game too, as every patch of grass or trainer seemed to be hiding a NIncada or a Ninjask. So that was funny. Or it would have been had the whole thing not been so completely disgusting.''

Anagram: It looks nothing like a ninja, which, admittedly, makes sense if you consider that a ninja wouldn’t want to be obvious

Stifled:  There should be a section of the game where a barrage of Nincadas falls from the sky like in real life.

Raka:  I don't think it's a Pokemon...it's just someone drew a nincada with anime artstyle

Giggs: '' Nincada kind of has a cool colour scheme, actually. But if it dropped off the face of the planet I wouldn't notice its absence ever.''

KBM: '' Certainly not one of the worst bugs out there, mostly because you can ALMOST ignore the fact that you're looking at an insect. But it's also based on a cicada. Now, having lived in the south, I find the sound of cicadas rather comforting (seriously, it's a cool sound), but I also accidentally stepped on a crunchy cicada carcass filled with ants once and have never quite gotten over that. So yeah, not my favorite thing to look at, and that seriously hurts it.''

BetrayedTangy:  I like this Pokemon's design a lot, too bad it's awful in battle.

Sanity: '' It's funny that they made a Pokemon that focuses on being a nose. But even cooler than that is that it's an Easter Island statue. Even though Pokemon is cool, Gradius is a much cooler game series, and Easter Island heads are a common enemy found in those games, so seeing a living Easter Island statue reminds me of Gradius.''

Junglebob: '' I'll admit I'm biased for Nosepass because I really like Moai statues. That and his giant, magnetic nose really make him stand out to me as a weird, interesting Pokemon.''

Magmortar: '' Its sprites in gen 3 have to be among the series’ worst. Weird thing, just looks super awkward, mostly terrible battler, always liked the whole magnet thing though, stands out from other rocks (plus, in gen 3, if you were bored of Magneton, you could use it to kill Skarmory instead). It can also do something most Rock-types can only dream of: actually take a special attack. I originally had it much lower but kept asking myself “why is it below this thing” to…a lot of Pokemon.''

Raka: '' Roxanne u scary. Rock/Water is pretty cute typing. But I don't really like how it seems too organic to be something based on the moais. Does it really need 4 limbs?''

KBM: '' I mean... it's Nosepass. Used to be my least favorite Pokémon, but ever since I learned that it was designed after the Easter Island Moai statues, I like it significantly more. It's still a sentient Rock nose, but at least I see what they were GOING for, even if they missed the mark by a good margin.''

Scarlet: '' The Compass Pokemon. Nosepasses have been the butt of more anti-Semitic jokes towards Pokemon than any other species aside from Meowth.''

Arti: '' Has the most hilarious evolution. On its own it's nothing special.''

Ecks:  Really unappealing design but I at least appreciate what they were trying to do basing it off of the Moai statues.

Gen: '' Compass rose? Meet compass nose! I make it a point to catch one of these and release it then sic my fighting/water types on the next one I see hoping it's the one I just released. It's cathartic.''

Cybat: '' Uh…what…are you doing? ''

OrangeCrush: '' I love Hoenn, but there's a subset of Pokemon that are so bad that I almost can't blame the genwunners. Thankfully most of them are more out of the way and obscure. Nosepass, on the other hand, is featured as Roxanne's main Pokemon, so there's no escaping his terribleness.''

BetrayedTangy:  Plusle and Minun are both so adorable and I loved them in Destiny Deoxys, but they are palette swap Pokemon and are Pikachu clones….

Sanity:  PIKACHU

Para:  sure, it's basically a ripoff of pikachu again, but you might as well copy what works

Stifled: '' Slightly less visually pleasing than Minun. Significantly less visually pleasing than Pikachu.''

Anagram:  Higher than Minum solely due to having a marginally better color scheme

Brayze: '' Minun's uglier sister. Don't bring your boyfriend home, Plusle. His heart will stray.''

Suor:  Not only are Plusle and Minun bad pikaclones, but they also wasted the chance to make a better pokémon based on the concepts of plus and minus.

Giggs: '' For an undeniable waste of pokedex space, Plusle and Minun are actually not all that bad. History's probably been kind to them. They're less egregious than Dedenne anyway.''

Snake5s:  We ran out of ideas and made Pikachu again

Magmortar: '' I am of the opinion that Plusle and Minun are among the better Pikaclones. They’re still awful. Just better. This and Minun I actually do think are kind of cute, they just suffered a bit from the marketing push. Marill in Gen 2 was pretty subtle. These guys were REALLY pushed.''

XIII:  I dislike these Pikachu ripoffs.

OrangeCrush: I didn't like Pichu the first time, so why would I want another one that can't even evolve?

Arti:  Far less superior to its more negative counterpart.

Gen: '' I bet plenty of mooks are going to rank these suckers higher than they deserve. *sigh* I prefer Plusle's adding theme to Minun's.''

Scarlet: '' The Cheering Pokemon. On the plus side, you can use a screwdriver to stab and swirl around a Plusle’s insides just as easily as you can a Minun’s.''

Junglebob:  I like the red one more than the blue one

Raka: '' If there's any plus side of this guy, it's that it's not Minun. Why they gotta make the design so similar to the Pikachu line?''

Cybat: '' Gets the slight edge over Minun because I like its name and color scheme better. Still terrible though.''

KBM: '' God, I hate this thing. The poor thing wants so badly to be Pikachu, but it doesn't even reach Pichu levels of cuteness because of the awful color palette. Then, on top of that, you have the Worst Gimmick Ever in the whole “This totally isn't related to Minun in any way” thing. I mean, is there even a bloody point to these things?''

Also it looks like a bellydancer. That's cool in my book.''

Scarlet: '' The Meditate Pokemon. Medicham is best known for, despite being one of the biggest Pokemon proponents of exercise, having the sort of thunder thighs that makes pre-Jenny Craig Kirstie Alley look trim and athletic.''

XIII:  I didn't like Makuhita *THAT* much (apart from being the progenitor of the awesome Hariyama) until I played with it in Pokemon-amie and it made really cute faces.

Sanity:  Fat Pikachu!

BetrayedTangy: I've always liked how fighting types are based on the various fighting styles and I find sumo wrestling interesting so there's that.

KBM: '' What a very Japanese looking Pokémon. That alone has its charm, regardless of its evident uselessness, looking at its stats.''

OrangeCrush:  He's kind of cute in a weird way.

Giggs:  Fat kids are funny.

Gen: '' Someone recently told me this looks like fat Pikachu and you know? I can see it. Fat Pikachu with its ears tied is pretty cool. It totally decimates all the rock type losers in the first cave you find it in, and a sumo based pokemon was a great idea for a fighter. Why the boxing gloves though?''

Scarlet: '' The Guts Pokemon. If you string a Makuhita to the ceiling, it serves as an excellent punching bag. The writers of the Pokedex want to clarify that they haven’t tried it, of course. They just heard from a friend.''

Junglebob: '' Ever wonder what happened to those chubby Pikachus from Red and Blue? I think they got some boxing gloves and became Makuhita.''

Raka:  Literally dumplings with boxing gloves.

Magmortar: '' Decent enough, it being the only Shadow Pokemon you can get (in that specific stage in its evolutionary line) in both Colosseum and XD is a neat bit of trivia. Could be better. Next.''

Anagram: ‘phil draw a sumo wrestler pokemon’ ‘should it look cartoonish or should I combine it with an animal or something?’ ‘no’

Brayze: A close to perfect representation of a wheezing, obese child, and just as worthy of vicious belly slaps

Cybat: ''Just not very appealing for me. ''

Wickle:  I have no clue why I like Minun as much as I do compared to Plusle, but whatever.

BetrayedTangy:  Plusle and Minun are both so adorable and I loved them in Destiny Deoxys, but they are palette swap Pokemon and are Pikachu clones….

Sanity:  PIKACHU

Starfox: Minun finishes over Plusle solely because its color scheme is a lot better.

OrangeCrush:  Sometimes I'll be a sucker for the Pikachu clones if they're done at least sort of well

Brayze: '' Ever so slightly less awful than plusle due to color scheme and a less bad tail. Also ever so slightly worse in battle!''

Giggs: '' For an undeniable waste of pokedex space, Plusle and Minun are actually not all that bad. History's probably been kind to them. They're less egregious than Dedenne anyway.''

Snake5s:  We ran out of ideas and made Pikachu again

Magmortar: '' I think it and Plusle can actually pass for cute, and it’s a solid really really low tier BPer in the first couple generations of its existence (I think). That’s it. I don’t really like Minun, but it is better than basically every other Pikachu clone (except for evolved forms), and no, that does not count as an achievement.''

KBM: '' My hatred for the Plusle/Minun concept definitely extends to Minun, but it's not quite as offensive for the sheer fact that the color scheme is much better. For that reason alone I have to put it a few spots above Plusle. (Incidentally: It's also got a better name.)''

XIII:  I really dislike these Pikachu ripoffs.

Gen: '' I bet plenty of mooks are going to rank these suckers higher than they deserve. *sigh* I prefer Minun's color scheme to Plusle's.''

I've never used one, and I can imagine it could be bit of a pain in the ass sometimes, but all four of its forms are well-designed, cute, and it's just interesting for a Pokémon gimmick.

Anagram: '' Fun fact: there are no bad ant pokemon. There may only be two, but they’re at a 100% good pokemon rate, so I personally vote for more ants''

Sanity:  I like his little zigzagged chompers.

Para: '' I like how none of trapinch's line looks basically anything like each other. he is cute he only knows how to bite things and that is it''

Stifled: '' It reminds me a lot of those little s***kickers that eat your coins in the 2D Mario games. If that thing learned Pay Day I would have been convinced that’s who it was.''

BetrayedTangy:  I always liked Trapinch as a kid, but since I've grown up I've found him a bit derpy looking and pointless, but my childhood with it, places it in my top 30

Magmortar: '' Can be surprisingly devastating trapper since it actually has a fair bit more attack than Dugtrio does (plus back when there was only Ruby and Sapphire out, if you wanted an Arena Trapper, you were stuck with it), which is really cool. Generally a cool bug thing with a nice, meaty jaw and a tendency to destroy things a lot quicker than a good 90% of other unevolved Pokemon.''

OrangeCrush:  Flygon is cool, but you have to go through some mediocre crap to get there.

Giggs: '' Becomes awesome in his old age, but this motherf***er looks like he would happily bite my leg off. Screw Trapinch.''

Cybat: '' This guy is amazing, I love how he randomly has an amazing ability and 100 base attack. The best part is his evolved forms are great too.''

XIII: '' I kind of like how Trapinch has its own sort of competitive viability with arena trap and a base 100 attack stat. A nice niche for an NFE, but god is it boring.''

Raka:  It doesn't look anything like its evolutions, but it's a rather unique case of larva -> nympha evolution instead of the usual larva -> pupa -> imago line, so it's not so bad.

Brayze: '' A huge head with a tiny body. Reminds me of those kids who are born with water in their brains, which is a good thing to be reminded of!''

KBM: '' Trapped for an inch, trapped for a foot. Thus is the mantra of the Ground Pokémon.''

Gen: '' Antlion larva are cool, and while Trapinch looks kinda durrrrr it's true enough to the concept that I can't be mad at it. Arena Trap makes spot training a tad annoying but eh.''

Scarlet: '' The Ant Pit Pokemon. Trapinch’s body may or may not be a piece of DIY furniture from IKEA that was spraypainted by a fan of the Tennessee Volunteers.''

Starfox: ''Ugh, I hate this thing. I hate its oversized mouth, I hate the fact that it was the only thing I EVER ran into in that desert in Ruby… but mostly I just hate its design. A lot.''

Eddv: '' Hes a grump! He's a pig! He's like a purple pig whos cool]''

Starfox: ''Probably the only unconventional member of my top ten for this Gen. I decided to use a Spoink I caught when first playing through it just because, and when it evolved I ended up really enjoying using it. Plus I really like its design, I think it looks neat. I like the purple and black. Really wish it was part dark though. It’d definitely be higher if it was.''

Gen: '' I don't know why people don't like it as much as Spoink. It's just as cute imo. If I had a Grumpig I'd give it belly rubs as often as possible. Fat tummy tum... *ahem* It's true there are better psychic types, but almost all of them turn into weird humanoid hybrid things. Grumpig is clearly just a piggles on two feet and that's why I like it so much.''

Logicblade: '' Grumpig is a step down from Spoink, but it's still pretty cute. I dunno, he just looks like he's down for whatever, probably the pokemon I'd most likely do shots with.''

Giggs: '' Nowhere near as life-affirming as Spoink, but Grumpig is still a bro. I feel like he packs a mean haymaker too.''

Magmortar: '' Grumpig is pretty cool. It’s a big improvement over Spoink certainly (the tail works out a lot better than entire lower body as far as springs on a ‘mon go), and it reminds me a lot of Hypno in playstyle give or take a few things, but I prefer Hypno because of the better bulk and ability to do physical damage but w/e.''

Raka: '' I don't know why, but I like it. Much better than Hypno. And the color scheme is pretty unusual, but it works well.''

Brayze: '' Bipedal dancing pig in a gimp outfit? What's not to like? ...Several things!''

Junglebob: '' Grumpig should have been the first Psychic/Dark Pokemon. It would really fit its name and design! But nope, the first one we actually got looks like a sea creature.''

Scarlet: '' The Manipulate Pokemon. If you aren’t paying close attention, you might mistake Grumpig for Mortal Kombat reject Mokap.''

ProfDEADPOOL: '' Isn't Spoink. Go away.''

Cybat: '' I never thought about it but I guess he's the Hypno variant - a mammal who becomes psychic for no real reason and uses props (its pearls) to help its power. He's pretty cool.''

Anagram: '' Bulbapdia claims that the inspiration for Grumpig is the Biblical passage ‘neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you’ hey bulbapedia I’m gonna let you in on a secret: japan doesn’t give two ****s about any religion except maybe Shinto and Buddhism and I doubt even then. If you want further evidence just play MGS3 where the game actually takes Snake, an American, aside, and explains the story of Genesis''

Stifled:  Nowhere near as cute as Spoink, but nowhere near as ugly as most of the things I ranked lower!

BetrayedTangy:  What an ugly Pokemon, it's typing and colors save it a little bit.

XIII:  Feel like this should be a dark-type, but no.

Para: '' grumpig, all the way at #100, is pretty much the line of indifference for me. grumpig's an all right dude but beyond here be dragons (hint hint)''

Suor: '' When looking at pictures of this monstrosity to recall how ugly it actually is, I noticed they never draw it from the front and with its head up. This thing has an angle so horrendous that even they don't want to show it to the world.''

Sanity:  A bouncy whale sounds fun.

Giggs: '' Derp. Prelude to bigger derp.''

Stifled:  How is it possible for a whale to be cute?

Scarlet: '' The Ball Whale Pokemon. If you were to harpoon a Wailmer and skin it for its valuable blubber, you would learn that Wailmer is in fact 98% blubber; the other 2% is low self-esteem.''

Para: '' As I walked along the beach, I spotted a Wingull perched upon a rock. http://local-static2.forum-files.fobby.net/forum_attachments/0025/2467/wingull_large.jpg I stopped and stared at him, and he stared back at me with his blank, hollow eyes. Something was different about this Wingull. He'd seen things. Things that would have made most men go crazy. The Wingull spoke. "Trumpets." I thought I misheard him. "I'm sorry?" "Trumpets. We are all trumpets. Trumpets is life. Life is trumpets." "Trumpets? I don't understand." "You. You will understand. You will understand that you too are trumpets."

Sanity:  Seagulls are cool.

Junglebob:  I like seagulls, so of course I like Wingulls too.

Gen: '' Seagulls are so funny IRL. I like them so a pokemon based on one would be hard to goof up. It's simple and cute. And water/flying is a great early game typing to have if you pick anything but Mudkip.''

Wickle:  It's a Seagull, that is all.

MSG: '' Oh, I like Wingull. It's a water bird. Wingull's only the rarest Pokemon. It's actually good, it evolves into Pelistorm.''

Giggs: '' Kind of like a paper aeroplane in bird form. I can dig it.''

Brayze:  Lost his 'weirdest looking bird' crown to sigilyph in gen 5, now he only has the 'most associated with trumpets' medallion

Scarlet: '' The Seagull Pokemon. Wingulls are notorious for always ****ing on your car after you have it freshly washed and waxed.''

Magmortar:  Mine?

Cybat: '' Hooray, another thing to run into while surfing! He has a pretty solid movepool for an early Pokemon, it's a shame he has to evolve into Pelipper and ruin everything.''

KBM: '' It's literally just a seagull. The first water bird of the series should have gotten a little bit less bland of a treatment.''

One of the things this generation does best is making Grass types that I actually like, by combining them with a type that can seriously use Grass' strong in-game points. And, of course, even more bonus points for the Nuzlocke comics. Too bad I don't like any other part of Nuzleaf's line.''

Junglebob:  Not as ugly as Swampert, but kinda awkward-looking

Suor: ''Best of its line. Love armored quadrupedals to death and Lairon manages that while still looking sort of cute.''

ProfDEADPOOL: '' Steel Dinosaur type thing. And gets points for becoming Aggron''

Brayze: '' This this is like a way cooler rhydon who himself is the best member of his line. Lairon has a pillbug thing going on and his dark grey/silver/blue motif is solid. Good pokemon.''

Para: '' fancy rhyhorn. easily the coolest of his line''

Gen:  I reeeeally like this design for some reason I can't get across.

XIII: You wouldn't mess with a Lairon.

Raka: '' Yep, good evolution for Aron. Actually, Aron &#8594; Lairon &#8594; Agggron is one of the best lines in term of design consistency and integration.''

Giggs: '' Rhyhorn 2.0. Another improvement on the original, but it's a bit hard to care.''

Scarlet: '' The Iron Armor Pokemon. A middle evolution, the writers of the Pokedex just couldn’t give two ****s about Lairon, the bland, forgettable transitional form of a really generic steel dinosaur Pokemon.''

Anagram:  Don’t worry Lairon, one day you’ll learn how to stand up on your hind legs just like my mom’s german shepard

KBM: '' Classic middie problems. Also only exists for 10 levels in a Pokémon that already levels late, so you don't even HAVE it for that long compared to its evolutionary counterparts. [Note: This (#69) is my fodder line; everything above this, I like actively like. F*** all a' y'all who don't like this gen.]''

Cybat: '' Hey look it's a shiny Rhyhorn. But it works for him.''

BetrayedTangy:  A weird combination of boring and cool

Junglebob:  I think they wanted to retcon Rhyhorn to Steel type, but they just decided to make this guy instead.

Magmortar: '' Not adorable like Aron or as just hot damn amazing as Aggron. Lairon is yet another horrible middle part of a line. Hate its cry too.''

Stiled: ''“hay guyz remember when I picked a pokeyman out of a hat to get armor for no reason and we got rye bread or rhydon or whoever? well I forgot we need two other spots so letz give aggressiverhydon or whatever a few basic forms lololol. rhydon had a basic form right? rye bread horn or something? so uh…”''

XIII: '' I'm probably weird here in that I love Hariyama's design to bits. It's so big and bulky and I just find it fun.''

Wickle: '' I kinda like Fighting types that go out of their way to do something kind of insane. For Machamp it was four arms. For this guy… we literally have a sumo wrestler. That's awesome.''

Arti: ''That Makuhita you can trade for can easily go all the way to the end. It's also a killer contest Pokemon with its boosted stats.''

BetrayedTangy: Hariyama has a really cool design and just looks like a badass in general.

Giggs:  I like fat pokemon and racial insensitivity, so Hariyama and I naturally get along well.

KBM: '' For a pure fighting type, this guy is actually really cool. He's a straight-up tank, and he looks like a boss, retaining the charming Japanese nature of Makuhita and adding a serious coolness factor. The only problem I have is that I can never remember its name.''

OrangeCrush: '' Heaven or hell... Let's rock!''

Magmortar: '' Sumo wrestlers are pretty cool, and Hariyama is even better. Its color scheme is one of my favorites in all of Pokemon, and it’s just a solid Pokemon for battling.''

Scarlet: '' The Arm Thrust Pokemon. Despite a massive fighting prowess, Hariyamas cannot perform simple functions like turning doorknobs thanks to hands that are more absurdly large than a pair of loafers on a clown.''

Stifled: '' What is it with Gen 3 and making things obese when they evolve? Trying to tell America something, Game Freak?''

Anagram: ''I am looking through a list of all of my in-game teams (I write them down when I beat the Elite Four in each game), and Hariyama is the pokemon I’ve used and care the second least about. Only Trevenant beats it in sheer amount of how many ****s I don’t give, and I only used Trevenant because I needed to bring something that could take more than one hit, so that I’d be able to revive+hyper potion during Drasna. I even have stronger opinions about Unfezant than this thing''

Cybat: ''I never cared much for sumo wrestling, so this guy doesn't appeal to me too much. Fun fact though, he is about 7 feet tall and about 550 pounds. Scary.''

Brayze: I like having you on the force in trick room hariyama, but seriously cut back on the cheese fries

Gen: '' Yeah... It's super useful in-game but uh... it could have a better design''

Para:  I once knew a kid who thought naming his hariyama "hairy mama" was pretty much the pinnacle of humor, and who am I to say he's wrong

Raka: '' This...thing...is just...I don't get what it is or what it looks like. It must be some kind of angel because mortal eyes and mind can't understand it. Not too shabby in-game though, I think I used one once.''

ProfDEADPOOL: '' Yes Armaldo is my number 1 for Gen 3. I love (almost) every fossil Pokemon and it is a bug and the design is one I actually really like. CLAWS OF DOOM.''

Brayze: '' Whenever I hear Armaldo I think it's some spanish guy who's going to try to sell me a pack of playing cards with naked ladies on them. Armaldo why are these women all so hairy''

MSG: '' His design is so bad, it's amazing. He also has one of the best meme nicknames for me in Armaldo Robert. Yes, that's enough for top 5 this gen for me DON'T JUDGE''

Suor:  Armaldo and Rock Blast saved my ass so many times that I actually ended up loving both the pokémon and the move.

Para:  his ferocity is completely offset by the fact that he's got goofy eyes that are spread far apart, this is hilarious

Wickle:  Rock lobster!

Scarlet: '' The Plate Pokemon. Armaldo was once considered a feared prehistoric Pokemon until Native Americans launched a class action lawsuit at the species demanding the feathers on Armaldo’s neck back.''

Cybat: '' Kinda weird looking (especially when you discover what his eyes really are) but he's pretty imposing for a Bug type. ''

Gen: '' Herp a derp face but I like it for some reason. Maybe because it's an armored bug and can therefore actually take a hit.''

XIII: '' RSE's fossils are the worst of all the generations, I think, and that's clear with Armaldo placing so low on the list. Good but nothing special.''

Giggs:  Man, the fossils this generation were weird.

Magmortar: '' Its cry is great and I guess…it’s a fossil. Armaldo is a Pokemon I think I’d like but can’t say a damn thing about. What’s up with its eyes?''

BetrayedTangy:  This Pokemon is so close to being cool, but somewhere it just fails to me.

KBM:  If Where's Waldo were Where's Armaldo he would be a lot easier to spot.

Raka: '' Mmm, yes, creepy oversized prehistoric bug. Not bad. If you see it with its true eyes though, it's really goofy. And not in a charming way.''

Stifled: '' You aren’t a Spanish swordfighter like the name makes me imagine. Instead you are bringing back memories of Resident Evil 4.''

Anagram: '' It’s too bad that the cute-as-**** Anorith turns into this thing. Fun fact, in the anime, its voice is basically just a guy saying “Armaldo” instead of giving it a cool nonhumany sort of voice''

Karo:  a reoccurring problem in gen 3 was that the designers' mindset was 'keep adding weird armor and protrusions, eventually it will look cool.' It didnt work this time, either.

There were like a thousand directions Sugimori could have gone in to make a chameleon awesome or adorable but he went with a blend and then it turned out kind of neither (sorry Ermine). Still, it's a chameleon and Protean is a pretty sweet ability if not its default.''

KBM:  I do not particularly want to have to read an instruction manual in order to learn how to effectively use a Pokémon.

Magmortar: '' Skulls are one of my favorite motifs. Simple as that. “I want your skulls, I need your skuuuuuuuuu-ulls…”''

Starfox: ''Another Pokemon that doesn’t really have any business being cute, and yet it is. Except this one is a ghost, so it’s automatically cool, too. Also, supposedly it loves the crying of children. Sound like my type of ghost!''

Brayze:  A tiny fart ghost.

Ecks:  Oh, don't mind me… just gonna casually float along and wait for you to die so I can steal your soul…

Scarlet: '' The Requiem Pokemon. The makers of the PokeDex predict this Pokemon will be Snake5555555555’s favorite Pokemon.''

Gen:  It's so cute which is rare for Ghost types!

Suor: So spooky.

Giggs:  Kind of cool, but as a 23 year old adult there's only so high I can place a generic floating skull.

XIII: '' See Dusclops. [Dusclops isn't the best, but he's justified in a lot of ways by the excellence of his evolution, the superb Dusknoir. Dusclops can be annoying to battle but he has a likeable enough design imo.]''

Cybat: '' Another good ghost. This one looks a lot like an enemy you would have to fight in a Castlevania game or something.''

Anagram:  Don’t panic,but there’s a skeleton in you RIGHT NOW

Para: '' a really neat feature of duskull is that its' 'eyes' are just one big sphere behind a skull that makes it look like he has two eyeballs. duskull is really cool I probably should have ranked it higher actually but now it's in the excel spreadsheet and it's too much of a pain to change it''

Stifled: '' Creepy theory I just thought of: Duskull is a dead Wingull. Dusk + gull = Duskull.''

Junglebob:  Skulls are cool, and so is that red dot that looks like its pupils.

BetrayedTangy:  Really forgettable if you ask me, but I liked ghosts.

KBM:  Don't fear me.

Raka:  Looks like an old housekeeper.

OrangeCrush:  I don't like skulls

Giggs: '' Like a Grimm Fairy Tale come to life. This will never be a criticism.''

Wickle:  He may have been greedy in Mystery Dungeon, but he just seems so cool.

OrangeCrush:  He's great in the Battle Arena, and is part of the Nuzlocke evolution line.

Scarlet: '' The Wicked Pokemon. Shftry is the voodoo doctor of a tribe of Nuzleaves, known for waving its frondy hands around and making silly clicking noises with its mouth. Not to be taken seriously.''

Gen: '' Looks cool enough yet a Dark/Grass could be much cooler. I think I'm happier with my Ludicolos.''

Magmortar: '' For a Wicked Pokemon, I expected better. I still experimented with a Sunnybeam one back on PBR and it did some good work. It wrecked and then blew up and it was just great.''

Stifled: '' He’s a shifty tree. Got a problem?''

Brayze: '' I hereby present the tengu. I refuse to believe anyone ever thought these were real things, unless medieval japan had a serious 'paint chips' epidemic''

BetrayedTangy:  Idk why I have Shiftry this low, I had a cool card of him when I was younger, I guess I just think he has an awkward design.

Para:  shiftry got really weird when I realized that it didn't really have a body, it's just one giant tengu head, god gen 3 is WEIRD sometimes

KBM: '' It's supposed to be a “Wicked Pokémon.” The design just doesn't do much for me, though. Get rid of all the white hair thrown onto it, and then maybe we have something good. Like a Nuzleaf.''

Wickle:  Corphish was strangely cute and then evolved to become so awesome!

XIII: '' Just a cool Pokemon. Dark-type crab is instantly likeable.''

BetrayedTangy:  Not only does Crawdaunt have a cool design, but I really like how it evolves from the really adorable Corphish.

Brayze:  God himself gave crawdaunt a gold star for being the most blindly violent pokemon who just tosses anything that moves around his pond, originally I thought lobster but I'm really leaning to mantis shrimp, who is the most fierce of tiny hateful crustaceans.

Magmortar: '' Now is really good at just destroying things. I never really got why it’s a Dark-type. I guess the tiny eye is a hint maybe. But hey, lobster of mass destruction.''

Cybat: '' Adaptability is great. This guy is a little weird looking, not exactly "daunting", but his Crabhammers and Knock Offs will hurt!''

Gen: '' Should be named Lobstar! Super cool design and typing, even if I don't see where the dark is coming from.''

Giggs: '' Is Crawdaunt like 100% mouth, or is that just design? And if not, does it have a mouth at all? These are the things that keep me up at night.''

KBM: '' I'm gonna be honest. Out of context, I would expect more to see something like this in a Silent Hill game than in Pokémon. Or maybe in Morrowind, which has a lot of horrifying creatures along these lines. Apart from its weird starfish hat, it's actually quite terrifying and I don't know how to feel about that fact.''

Anagram:  I’m feeling crabby about how many pokemon I have to rate here

Junglebob:  I'm not sure if those blue stripes are actually marking its mouth, but it looks like it has blue lips with a stupid grin

Suor: '' It has nothing cool, nothing intimidating, nothing unique as a lobster nor anything that defines it as a Dark type. All it has is a dumb unneccessary star on its head, out of nowhere. Being a lobster alone can only carry you this far.''

Scarlet: '' The Rogue Pokemon. The evolved form of the Corphish, Crawdaunts have developed a niche following thanks to the classic B-movie franchise “Mutant Ninja Lobsters from Outer Space”, directed by Ed Wood.''

Hes got this thick white steam continuing to billow out of his shell and his experession, which I once saw as the ultimate in derp, has this kind of zen quality to it. Very very cool pokemon. Second is that he got some use as part of my legendarily silly Simple Beam Strategy in triples.''

Ermine: '' The anime moved Torkoal up a little bit for me but I've always kinda liked the guy. I've never really got around to using one on a team yet but I should really rectify that as he's pretty dang awesome.''

Magmortar: '' Now of course I prefer Magcargo but Torkoal is also pretty cool, it is hard for me to pass up a good ol’ turtle or a good ol’ Fire-type. Bring them together and uh yeah. Torkoal Explosions actually being capable of hurting things is a big bonus it has over that guy. Gen 4 sprite is great but really the steam thing is just cool.''

KBM: '' If I didn't already have SO many favorites that were Fire-types, I know I would be ranking Torkoal significantly higher – probably Top 10. As it stands, it's still really good.''

Brayze:  Torkoal is like everyone's crankiest great uncle who is also a turtle full of smoke

Junglebob:  Torkoal looks like it should be Rock/Fire, but that type is a death sentence so I'm glad it isn't.

OrangeCrush:  I like turtles

Starfox: '' It took me until doing the stats for this gen to realize that Torkoal wasn’t part rock. I guess that shows how little I care about it.''

Anagram: Literally Torkoal’s greatest contribution to humanity is getting sent out by Ash in the Sinnoh Tournament and lasting literally seven seconds (I counted), and that number includes the time it spent flying through the air after already being hit

BetrayedTangy I feel like a pre evolution would give this Pokemon more purpose.

Raka: ''One of the worst options for a Fire Pokemon ever. I don't think I'll ever use this guy even if given infinite time.''

Arti: Hard to find and generally useless.

Gen: '' The second of only two non-starter fire type lines in this generation (seriously wtf GF) could not BE more different than its counterpart. I really want to love Torkoal, because I love tortoises, White Smoke is great, and Overheat is awesome (I know that's not its signature move it's just something I associate with it because of Flannery). But I can't... I can't get past that stupid mug to gaze at the beauty inside. It's like Quasi-friggin'-modo I swear. Ugh I don't even want to look at it. Also it should CLEARLY be Fire/Rock.''

XIII: '' And here it is, the worst Gen 3 Pokemon and the third-worst of all time. Ludicolo is a f***ing vile trainwreck of a Pokemon, thought up by Game Freak solely to troll offensive player. That is the only reason they would combine that irritating typing with Rain Dish and the stupid f***ing trollface it is constantly making. Ludicolo is the exemplification of weather-based stall, moreso even than Stallrein. I would not delete Ludicolo from the game, but I would permanently change its base stats and abilities and give it a sad face so all its fanboys and girls are punished for liking f***ing Ludicolo. It's a f***ing diabolical mess. If you support Ludicolo you in turn support stall, and if you support stall you are absolutely a bad human being since you are getting behind a tactic that expects the non-stall user to at some point get annoyed. You're literally supporting a troll tactic, and that shows you to be a callous, conceited human being. It doesn't matter if "I don't care about the metgagame!!" neither do I anymore. But that doesn't mean you should support and enable bad human beings, and supporting Ludicolo does that. And lets be honest, it's pretty f***ing racist too. So all in all, completely morally toxic.

Wickle: ''This is downright the perfect ghost-type. He looks like a genuine horror icon while still being in a child's game enough to never give nightmares. I mean seriously, a puppet Pokemon. Excellent.''

Stifled:  Thank you, Game Freak, for not making sucky Ghost Pokemon for Gen 3.

Scarlet: '' The Marionette Pokemon. Each Banette is born from the remains of plush toys that have been cast aside. This came to light most prominently in 2001, when millions of Beanie Babies ended up in the dumpsters of America. Nearly the entirety of Chicago was slaughtered by rampaging Banettes.''

Gen: '' I have always loved this thing. Before Mega evos were a thing, before Junji Ito got a hold of it I loved Banette based on its awesomely creepy pokedex entries, particularly Emerald's: An abandoned plush doll became this Pokémon. They are said to live in garbage dumps and wander about in search of the children that threw them away. That's like a creepypasta in itself. Not to mention the zipper mouth, the fact that it likes sticking pins in itself to harm others holy frijoles I had no idea pokemon could get so macabre until this point.''

Brayze:  Worst blowjob award

It got a Mega Evolution with potential, but got completely screwed by turn order mechanics. I want to feel bad for it, because few Pokemon are hated more by Gamefreak, but I don’t like creepy doll things at all so still screw Banette. I just think it deserves better. FLAREON gets better treatment.''

KBM: '' Maybe its Mega Evolution makes it actually usable – I don't know. It's news to me that it even got one. But I can only go off my experiences here. This guy was my sixth Pokémon in my first playthrough of the third generation. I had never used a Ghost-type Pokémon and wanted to give one a try. Banette is so useless that I almost gave up on the type altogether and never gave it another shot. It wasted a party slot in my first run through my favorite generation, and I will always hold that (a bit unfairly, I admit) against it. (Weirdly enough, I don't hold it against Shuppet... but Shuppet's cute so I guess it kind of makes sense.)''

Ermine:  The world's greatest pokemon!

Ziggy hasn't always been my favorite pokemon, Buizel used to own that spot many years ago but once Zigzagoon jumped into my life as #1 he's always stayed there and he'll always stay there. Raccoons are fantastic and Ziggy's design is simple yet unique at the same time. He's super useful to have on a team because of his pick up ability and his ability to use many different Hidden Machines but for me, nothing is more fun than trying to beat a pokemon game with just one Zigzagoon as a fighter. It's challenging and exciting since Ziggy's base stats definitely leave something to be desired. Very awesome pokemon and while I don't expect him to really do well at all, he'll still be number 1 for me <3

BetrayedTangy: '' Zigzagoon at Number 3? What!? Yeah normally I thought he was totally pointless, until I started a Sapphire Nuzlocke and I found a Zigzagoon with Pickup, he saved my ass through the first third of the game, he found a TM, a buttload of Potions and even allowed me to beat Wattson, at the unfortunate expense of his life. This legit brought me to tears.''

Poke:  Pls, I'm Zigzagoon :(

ProfDEADPOOL: '' Ermine infected me with Zigzagoon love tbh. Originally I was very meh on him but….Ermine's love made me reconsider and now I like him a lot.''

Sanity: '' I don't usually let my enjoyment of a user effect my enjoyment of unrelated things, but this happened here. I wouldn't care about Zigzagoon, but I am a fan of that guy named Ermine, and Zigzagoon is his favorite Pokemon, so it rubs off. I don't pleasure myself to Zigazagoons like he does though.''

Kate: '' FEMALE ONLY. MUST BE NICKNAMED ZAGGY.''

Logicblade: '' Ermine probably has all the positives about Zigzagoon covered, so I'm gonna talk **** about this cute little guy. He picks up **** off the ground like a hobo, how filthy! He's an excellent HM Slave, which means he supports the archaic system of using a pokemon only for it's ability to carry you on it's back. What a silly raccoon thingy. :3''

Magmortar: '' A cute raccoon! And then there was the guy who trains this line in Orre games, who has an amazing battle theme.''

Starfox: ''Zigzagoon was the point in my ranking where I realized that I don’t care much for this gen. I mean… I kinda like Zigzagoon, I guess. But the fact that I couldn’t find anything I liked more than this, and it was all the way up in 28th, made me realize how steep the dropoff is between things I really like and things I don’t give a s*** about.''

Gen: '' I love Zigzagoon. Just not as much as some people because I'm not a weirdo. Ziggy will forever be my Pickup buddy. I don't care if other pokemon have the ability, they'll never be better at it than a mischievous raccoon. I remember on my second Sapphire playthrough I spent hours looking for a shiny Zigzagoon only to give up and then happen upon its shiny fully evolved form later on in the game (god dammit). It even had a perfect Timid nature but I was still so disappointed by this that I boxed it.''

MSG: ''85th place, my ass. Yeah right Ermine, get real.''

OrangeCrush: Woe is Ermine.

Anagram: '' I would never think about Zigzagoon at all except for Ermine. It began as me just idly wondering why this, of all things, would be anyone’s favorite pokemon. Now it consumes me, and at night I shiver as the cold winds up my spine, my thoughts dominated by nothing so much as nightmarish images of Zigzagoon''

KBM: '' Sorry, Ermine. This little guy is absolutely precious, but Gen III is just so good that it can only propel it so far. :/''

Arti:  My source of early Ultra Balls, Revives, Rare Candies, and other assorted items.

Stifled: '' Ermine has a lot to do with this little guy not being near the bottom. I didn’t really like him much until Ermine Poke-Gauntlet spammed him and showed me the pic of him beating up a Garchomp. Now he’s kind of amusing to me.''

Suor: '' The best non-evolved Route 1(01) Normal type. Great concept and super cute.''

Raka: '' Ermine's favorite Pokemon. My favorite Gen 3 HM and Pickup slave. Everyone's happy!''

Junglebob: '' My second-favorite early route rodent, after Bidoof. Pickup is pretty nice too.''

Giggs:  Bidoof > Zigzagoon > Bunnelby > Rattata > Sentret > Patrat

Ecks: '' It's kinda cute, or almost cute, but Linoone is more my style. I want to like it more than I do.''

Brayze:  Its attack is running in a zigzag which is cool, but it's worse than a normal raccoon so f yall zigzagoon

Para:  uhhh sorry ermine zigzagoon is just okay to me

I can't even use the "it evolves into Linoone" thing because the only way to get the only Linoone that will ever matter involves picking up an event one (or programming it in via a simulator, I guess, but either way you don't need Zigzagoon for that)''

This is kind of a huge deal for me because my top spots are almost always occupied by fire and water, maybe dragon or dark. For a grass type to get it is pretty special since I don't think too highly of the type as a whole. However when a grass type is done right it can be truly, truly amazing and Cacturne is the epitome of this I feel. I love the design, and the pokedex entries are just perfect for it. This is a pokemon that stalks people by night until they can go no further and then strikes! That's so morbid I love it. And that face! That wicked face... It's everything I love about dark types in a grass shell and it's just perfection.''

Darkx:  Has a really fun gimmick and kinda represents what happens to the dead shell of say Metapod or Kakuna when Butterfree or Beedrill emerges.

Eddv: '' Shedinga is pretty much my favorite poke-concept out there. The friggin skin of the cicada is hard as hell and is an unstoppable bug of doom! Well unless there are rocks. Still the shedded skin coming to life is really cool''

Junglebob: '' I think Shedinja is the best gimmick Pokemon ever. It's a creative idea for a Pokemon and has a unique type combo that fits it perfectly. Then you add Wonder Guard and what you get Is a really interesting Pokemon''

Cybat: '' Such a good concept. I know it's easy to get around but Wonder Guard is so great. The Pokedex lore just makes it even better.''

Starfox: ''I’m generally a fan of gimmick Pokemon, and Shedinja is the king. It’s got a great concept and evolution method in and of itself, but factor in Wonder Guard, and this is definitely the coolest gimmick Pokemon has to this point. Kinda wish it could damage worth a damn, but that takes a backseat to how awesome it is.''

Suor: '' One of the most unique pokémon ever. Unfortunately it gets destroyed even by a Sand Stream Tyranitar, but there are occasions in which Shedinja is completely uncounterable and you feel and taste your opponent's tears. It's also an amazing concept and is creepy enough to perfectly fit into the Ghost type.''

Raka: '' ZEXXY is back! I love its gimmick, I love its unique typing. The thing about sucking your soul if you look at the hole on its back is pretty bogus though. It can be clearly seen on its back sprite!''

XIII: '' I'm a sucker for a good gimmick and Shedinja is one of my favourites. Cool and creepy Pokedex entry about dying if you stare at its back or whatever. Anyway, read this. http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species:_Nincada,_Ninjask_and_Shedinja''

BetrayedTangy: '' I absolutely love the idea behind Shedinja, it has a cool lore, ability and typing. Like everything about this Pokemon works! Except for the fact that it's basically useless in battle, even once you figure out the best way to use him he still relies on chance.''

Giggs: '' Looks kind of horrible, but conceptually awesome. Used one of these in a battle against my sister once and she thought I was cheating.''

Gen: '' Amazing concept and evolution. Enough said.''

KBM: '' I have no choice but to like this thing. As Pokémon gimmicks go, this one straight-up has one of the best. I could absolutely see myself using one of these in-game just for the fun of it. And the whole thing about devouring people's souls? Creepy as all f*** and I love it for that too.''

Arti: '' It's interesting, but has a lot of weaknesses. Worth using though.''

Scarlet: '' The Shed Pokemon. Shedinja is called the shed Pokemon because it’s so ugly that it looks like it was taken out back behind a shed and beaten with a crowbar.''

Para: '' people really wanted to use him in twitch plays pokemon emerald. shedinja is cool, so this would have been a great idea if most moves in the game didn't instantly kill him''

Stifled: '' I love this idea. The way to obtain this guy is pretty annoying, but I can forgive that. It helps add to the presentation.''

Wickle:  Wonder Guard, now only to be stolen by Pokes like Porygon.

Anagram: Its greatest contribution to pokemon is actually that people hacked its ability onto Spiritomb to prove that the Battle Subway in Gen 5 cheats by spawning trainers with the otherwise extremely rare moves that can defeat something with Wonder Guard

Brayze: Neat idea that I think would be impossible to execute well competitively.

OrangeCrush: A very unique Pokemon, but he's too gimmicky for his own good.

Magmortar: '' The one hit wonder thing is cool (although largely makes it beyond useless…except in Ubers) but it is too creepy for me. You stare into its back and uhh…how do you even be around this thing?!''

Cody: '' When I was little I thought this thing was the coolest, until I actually got one and found out it only had 1 HP. That killed my interest pretty quick.''

Karo: '' Gamefreak managed to make a pokemon that is BOTH nearly useless and extremely annoying. bravo, Gamefreak, bravo.''

BetrayedTangy:  Ninjask is one of the cooler bug Pokemon, I literally think speed when I see it, but it's ruined by being really annoying to fight.

Anagram:  Fun fact I didn’t know what cicadas were until I was like twenty, so I had no idea what a ton of cicada-based stuff was supposed to be

Oh and the Lati@s movie is actually great. For a movie that doesn't- or rather can't rely on nostalgia it's very well paced and thought out. Objectively it's likely the best pokemon movie ever made, and the Latias in it is fun.''

Magmortar:'' It is not a dragon. You cannot look at me with a straight face and tell me THIS is a damn dragon. In Generation 4, it was the only fully-evolved Dragon who spent the entire generation without being OU or Uber at one point. Altaria is not like other Dragon-types. That said, I love the dumb cheery look on its face. It’s almost a Dragon Quagsire.''

I love how in horde battles Sevipers will gang up on a lone Zangoose before even turning their attention to the trainer facing them and visa versa. That's amazing. But back to the generation where Seviper was actually introduced... Seviper was a revelation. A snake pokemon that's not boring to look at and that looks wicked and strong. Its stats are decent as well. Its learnset isn't exactly a revelation but it's serviceable enough. I'd really love a shiny one.''

OrangeCrush: '' He's kind of cool. I haven't gotten around to using him after the physical/special split though.''

XIII: '' A decent enough Pokemon, especially for one of the weak, early-game ones. Badass design.''

Brayze: '' Did you know that hyenas are not closely related to dogs? Did you know that some people have domesticated these things and use them to scare people into paying their debts? Uganda is awesome''

Stifled: '' Why did my cute dog evolve into this angry, feral beast? I guess he’s battle useful to an extent, but all of my happy feelings are gone.''

Cybat: '' Sort of an awkward name but he certainly looks the part. Even with three relatively useful abilities he is tough to accomplish anything with, but I found one that came with Thunder Fang that was useful for a while.''

Anagram: '' Sometimes I go back and watch movies that I remember as being bad, like Temple of Doom or Die Another Day. Sometimes I find they’re better than I remember, like Temple of Doom, and sometimes I find they’re just as bad, like Die Another Day. I bring this up because in Emerald, I tried to use a Mightyena and a Pelipper, and found both to be too terrible to use. In OR, I tried to use a Mightyena and Pelipper again. Pelipper turned out to be a Temple of Doom. Mightyena turned out to be a Die Another Day. ''

Giggs: '' Yep, it's a dog. But then I'm apparently the only one who doesn't care about dog pokemon (Houndoom and Stoutland aside), so whatever.''

Ecks: '' Doesn't remind me of a hyena? The most generic of dog lines. There's absolutely nothing special about it.''

Raka: '' Is it mighty? HAHAHAHAHAHA no. Is it a hyena? Yeah, kinda. Do I like it? Not really, especially due to the oversaturation.''

Para:  kinda lame and too tryhard, just a sort of mean looking dog with no cool features to his credit

OrangeCrush:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSZm8MGEDnY

BetrayedTangy: '' So i herd u like Mudkips? Yes, yes I do''

Raka: '' It is a pretty cute axolotl! I love using it. My mind was blown when Gen 3 introduced starters with weird typing.''

Stifled:  I’ll be the first to admit the memes and the cuteness got Mudkip top 30 status for me.

Giggs:  Memes are boring.

ProfDEADPOOL: '' I used to really like Mudkip when R/S first came out. But I never liked his evolutions that much. Swampert was ok. And then I got annoyed by the I LIEKZ MUDKIPZ %$^*. If this ranking was back when I first got Ruby he would have probably been top 10 and top 15 at worst. But screw that meme.''

Brayze: '' Mudskippers are cool fish to base a pokemon on, and mudkip benefits from this by not actually looking like a fish. HE'S A FISH''

Para:  mostly neutral to mildly favorable to mudkips

XIII:  Not a great fan of it, apart from the meme.

Magmortar: '' Yes. I do like Mudkip(z). Even without the meme, it’s a pretty cute little mudskipper that just becomes more and more destructive.''

Cybat:  i herd you liek played-out jokes

Gen: '' Love the pokemon, hate the meme. For some reason though my love for it has cooled over the years. And no it's not the memes. I used to think it was a lot cuter than it was, and liked it waaaaay more than the other two starters, but now they're all pretty even for me. I dunno I guess I just like amphibians and water types so huge bias there.''

KBM: '' Too memetastic for me to really love, although it's a good enough generic water starter that gets much (much) better. The giant fin on its head and whatever the hell is wrong with its cheeks just makes it a little awkward.''

Arti:  A stupid meme and the worst of the three starters.

Anagram: '' I almost wrong a reference to the meme, but honestly, I’ve never liked this thing. I’ve always thought it was ugly and stupid, and not in a good way.''

Scarlet: '' The Mud Fish Pokemon. Due to the development of an asinine meme revolving around this Pokemon, writers of the Pokedex have been pleased to discover a happy backlash against this Pokemon involving cruel, brutal, violent deaths at the hands of the very trainers who choose Mudkips as their starters.''

Darkx:  Yes, the meme is indeed heavily responsible for this low placement.

Stifled: '' I’m usually hesitant to add a Grass type to my main team, but this guy packs a punch. I’m impressed by his movepool and his stats. He even looks cool! He’s one of a small handful of Grass type Pokemon that are among my all-time favorites.''

Para:  he is a fighting mushroom lizard and there is nothing about that that isn't completely amazing

Junglebob: '' Spore/Substitue/Foucs Punch is too good! It also looks like a dinosaur, so that's pretty hard to beat.''

Logicblade: '' I'm not fussed on Shroomish, but Breloom makes me think how the heck Shroomish could possibly be the first form of this line. Cool hats are a big plus in my book.''

Raka: '' Grass/Fighting is a pretty cool combo. I like him a lot especially early game. Status effects and some physical-damage attacks are quite nice to use. And it's pretty cute looking.''

Mana: '' Remember how Paras was my numero uno? Well, here's something with Spore that can actually throw a punch! He looks alright, but he's really just fun to use.''

Anagram: ''It takes some actual cleverness to notice that a mushroom looks kind of like those conical Chinese hats. I used a Breloom in Emerald. That was a weird run: Blaziken, Breloom, Kadabra, Seaking, Manectric, and Swellow''

Cybat: ''Another cool-looking grass Pokemon, this time with Spore, lots of great fighting moves, and good abilities. Good stuff.''

ProfDEADPOOL: This guy is up here purely because I enjoyed being horrible with Spore+Sub+Focus Punch >_>

Eddv: Shroom ninja

Wickle: ''The typing is cool to me, and makes him a fun Fighting-type to use. Plus having Leech Seed makes it funnier.''

Brayze: ''Part t-rex, part mushroom, part kangaroo, part ??? All cop. One of the top three fighting/grass pokemon!''

Gen: '' Awesome design, unique typing until recently, just all around great. I love mah magic mushrooms!''

Magmortar: '' Boxing kangaroo is the bane of more than a few people’s existence (it’s powerful and it can put things to sleep!) but I like it. It’s another one of those good type of dumb looking Pokemon, and it can be really scary.''

OrangeCrush:  She's one of those Pokemon that's really cool but I rarely get around to using one.

Giggs: '' I like Breloom a lot until I remember what he looks like. Still, Spore is super cool.''

Arti:  An interesting type combination but loses out on some good moves if you evolve it right away.

Scarlet: '' The Mushroom Pokemon. A popular Pokemon amongst hippies, decapitating and eating the head of a Breloom can get you a serious high that lasts up to three weeks, or the length of time it takes to watch the entire series of the original Battlestar Galactica.''

BetrayedTangy:  Breloom looks super cool, I just wish there was more to its line, Shroomish really makes him loose a few points.

KBM: '' It kinda looks like a Togetic wearing a Treecko cosplay. I kinda dig it. (Kinda.)''

XIII:  F*** Spore.

Scarlet: '' The Continent Pokemon. There are more sharp edges on Groudon than a display case in a weapon store. More deaths each year are caused by hugging Groudon than getting money out of vending machines (five).''

Starfox: ''(Yeah, I amended this writeup before posting because I finally played ORAS, sue me >_>). I’m definitely part of the minority that prefers Groudon to Kyogre a significant amount. I loved Groudon’s design even from the get-go. Also, RSE were the first games in the series to give you a more world-saving role that the first two didn’t have, so I kinda do look back fondly on Groudon for that. Add in the fact that it now gets Primal Reversion, which was awesome, its abilitiy completely nullifies water type attacks, it’s now finally part fire type, and it learns eruption, which is my favorite move to use, and he can now actually use it kinda viably due to his greatly increased Special Attack. Yeah. Kinda wish I’d played ORAS sooner, as he’d probably have wound up third.''

Ermine: '' I never loved Groudon this much until my playthrough of Omega Ruby. I've always liked him but the playthrough really bumped him up for me. His design is really good and he is totally badass. Don't **** with Groudon cus he'll **** you up. Great Poke!''

Raka: '' The don is here! So awesome and fierce. I love most everything about it. If I had to get a Pokemon action figure, Groudon would be a great choice.''

Arti: '' Another relic of my Ruby team that I enjoyed using. For when I actually used legendaries, of course.''

XIII: '' I have a thing for legendaries on the whole. Groudon is pretty cool and I like how the Primal Reversion thing went some way to addressing the imbalance between it and Kyogre.''

Cybat: '' It looks more threatening than Kyogre, but…it isn't. It's weird that it has Drought while being a Ground type. ''

Stifled: '' I accept your apology for not being as cool as Kyogre. Of course you can be my friend.''

OrangeCrush:  "Ah! After 10,000 years I'm free! Time to conquer Earth!"

KBM: '' They were trying too hard to be badass with this one. They put the wrong set of Legendaries on the covers of this generation.''

Giggs:  More Reptar than Godzilla, really.

Junglebob: '' Probably some bias against this guy cause I played Sapphire. All those spikes on its body seem unecessary.''

Suor: '' I like you despite your ability to turn into a Ground/Fire type immune to Water attacks. What a dick move.''

Magmortar: '' Always preferred it to Kyogre for sure. Being a legendary more on the physical side of things for once is pretty neat. Sun is dangerous too, even though Groudon itself isn’t the biggest beneficiary of it it goes a LONG way in being good for the team.''

Gen:  I like his design but something about him doesn't quite do it for me.

Para:  he's ok

Brayze:  I know it's supposed to be fierce but I can't take it seriously with its goofy arms

Wickle:  Sorry Ermy, he's lower than Kyogre for me.

BetrayedTangy:  He looks really generic for a legendary.

Karo: '' if only we could listen in on the design team when they were making this thing. 'hey lets put more spikes on him! everything is better with more spikes!' 'What about if his head was a filing folder and his tail was a stapler? then he can double as an office assistant!'''

Anagram: **** you Primal Groudon stop resting to recover the damage I just dealt you aw **** you died now I have to go through that stupid cutscene again thank god I’m not resetting for good ivs or shinies
