Board 8 Ranks Generation II Pokemon

''"I have been here since 2008 and this is one of the greatest projects ever hosted on Board 8." - ''PrestonStarry

"DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHAT I HAM? DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHO I HAM!?!?!?!?!?" - PrestonStarry

Board 8 Ranks Generation II Pokemon is hosted by starfox2245. starfox2245 originally made a submissions topics where B8 users submit in rankings of his/her own taste in G/S/C Pokemon to starfox2245 via e-mail and averages out the rankings in Excel. Who will be number one and who will be crowned the worst Pokemon of the second generation? Continue to read on and find out. :)

Various Board 8 users compile and rank all 100 Gold / Silver / Crystal Pokemon, however he or she wants and 60 users come together and have a roundtable of discussions, who and where they consider are the best and worst Pokemon from the G/S/C generation.

The Pokemon from Gen II have received general negative reception on Board 8. Many people consider the Pokemon from Gen II a cesspoll of bad Pokemon. Nearly 10% of all of these Pokemon are Baby Pokemon.

"I personally wouldn't even put Chikorita in my Top 200 Pokemon of all-time." - PrestonStarry

"I never really could figure out why people care about breeding Pokemon. The Baby Pokemon always starts at Level 1 and ugggghhh." PrestonStarry

A full list of the users that have chosen to participate in this project are listed below.

A full list of outlining where each user placed, where and what Pokemon at will be provided once the project is completed.

Some users (not all of them) have provided write-ups, giving people a full emphasis of where and why they placed that Pokemon at a certain position.

As with usual ranking topics? A Pokemon placed at #100 is what they consider is the worst Pokemon of the pack and #1 is what he or she considers is his or her favorite from that particular Generation of Pokemon.

"I hope you all have fun with reading this project now ladies and gentlemen. All hail Board 8!" - PrestonStarry

It's worth noting that a rankings topic for the first generation was done but not much was documented or saved from it. :(

Sanity: '' Jynx is a funny Pokemon. Smoochum is funny for other reasons. Just imagining this little baby that wants to kiss everything is amusing.''

Gen: '' I can hear the public outcry from miles away. Well guess what? I don't GIVE a flying Rattata's ass! I love Smoochum and none of y'all can stop me. Fine, I'll explain. First off, look at its official art: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/0e/238Smoochum.png. She is like the paragon of GameFreak's trolliness. It's poetry in motion. Can you imagine a GF PSA? "Gaiz we swear we weren't trolling and like uh... there's totes nothing racist insinuated by Jynx we swear k bai". *proceeds to give Jynx's baby form the sassiest of sassy black woman trope poses* I mean she's even doing a neck-roll and mouthing "ooh gurl no you DI'NT!" Have you ever seen Drawn Together? Can you not imagine her with Foxxy Love's voice actress if she could speak at all? I suppose as a black woman I'm supposed to be offended but I mean if you can't laugh at yourself...'

Comm: '' I can't justify putting this in the top half of the rankings, because seriously... look at it. But once I dubbed it "Lil Whore", its always had a place in my heart.''

Suor: '' You look like a little bossy bad b****, but you still got a long way to go before you can compete with motherf***ing Jynx the baddest b**** in town. I suggest you watch more Nicki Minaj videos.''

Arti: Jynx is still waiting for its evolution :(

Preston: '' I wonder what it would be like if they gave Paige in the WWE a germaphobe gimmick. It couldn't as bad as Jillian Hall's singing gimmick right? ''

Natwaf: ''NFE Trash. Adorable, and looks more aesthetically pleasing than Jynx.''

CasanovaZelos: ''In Pokemon Crystal I got this from my egg. I ended up using it in my party, which probably boosted it from rank 98. Still evolves into one of the worst Pokemon ever, and I'm disappointed my egg didn't hatch into Pichu or Elekid.''

Raka:  Chibi Nicki Minaj ^_^

Mana: '' I've never been a fan of Jynx, but I understand the Electabuzz-Magmar-Jynx trio that Smoochum makes sense to exist so early. Still, though, Smoochum is the worst baby. Although as I write this comment, for the first time ever, Smoochum has made me smile. Looking at some its art, my mind is overwhelmed with Baby Plucky quotes. Almost enough to give it one less point... until looking at the other baby hit an even stronger nostalgia vein.''

Magmortar: ''WHAT IS THE DAMN POINT. Magmar and Electabuzz got kids too, but now Smoochum proved to be a red herring since Jynx didn’t evolve with those two! Seriously, what the French toast, Game Freak?!''

Stifled:  Babies aren’t maybes.

Starfox: Oh god why? Jynx was hideous enough, this thing doesn’t need to exist and make it worse. The babies are (mostly) bad, but this one is definitely the worst.

Anagram: It has a cute episode in the anime, so I give it just enough points to overcome Igglybuff and Magby.

Brayze:  A step up from jynx, congratulations smoochum you’re the 9th worst pokemon of all time (thunderous applause)

KBM:  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Paratroopa: ''a tiny, less awful jynx. less awful in this case is damning with faint praise. or maybe faint praising with very, very strong damning''

Ermine:  Get out.

Wickle: '' I said I put Jynx too high. Not making that mistake here!''

Cybat: '' Unlike in gen 1, there are no Pokemon I really hate. That's bad news for concepts I hate, like baby Pokemon. They bring almost nothing to the table design-wise or gameplay-wise. Having this particular baby in last hopefully needs no explanation.''

Goa:  Maybe not quite as ugly as Jynx, but even more useless.

Flubbin: '' Oh god, Smoochum is hideous. Maybe one day Smoochum will be the baddest b**** of all, but today she is a useless embarrassment.''

Ecks: '' Not only do they create a baby form for Jynx of all things, but they name it Smoochum? Really? It's horrendously ugly.''

Sanity:  Not even close to as good as Jigglypuff or even Wigglytuff, but it's still in the family.

Preston: '' I loved that "Streaming Stampede" mini-game in Pokémon Stadium 2 and you were Igglybuff and you counted all the Pokémon that marched in front of you. It was cool. Definitely the best of the Baby Pokémon. Here's some gameplay footage of "Streaming Stampede" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3KY8Th7YhY''

Wizards:  The most pointless baby pokemon I can think of.

Paratroopa:  I used to have a TCG deck based on chansey, igglybuff, cleffa, aka a bunch of dumb pink s*** and it was pretty much the best deck

Brayze:  Less awful now that I know he floats, still number 86 so you can imagine how bad he ranked before (87)

Mana: '' The second-worst baby. Almost was the worst until I looked at Igglybuff again. Igglybuff is a freaking Digimon. Look at those eyes and tell me it doesn't digivolve.''

Starfox: ''I think I might not hate babies as much if they didn’t give them to lines that were already horrible to begin with. But they did. Almost invariably. The few exceptions seem to be the only ones I don’t hate.''

Gen: '' While I realize Jigglypuff is extremely popular in Japan and the advent of horrible baby pokémon meant the opportunity to give adorbubble counterparts to all the fan favorites like Pikachu & company... couldn't they have put a little thought into this? I mean I don't give even a fraction of a damn about Jiggly and I feel for its fanbase. What a wasted opportunity.''

Arti: '' Igglybuff is a dumb name. Not like Wigglytuff is much better though.''

CasanovaZelos:  One of the worst names in Pokemon, and it lacks the cuteness of the other babies.

Wickle: '' puff, tuff, and now the baby is buff? Lol no.''

Cybat:  At least succeeds in being cute.

Goa:  Fans of the Jigglypuff line should be glad I didn't get to vote last round.

Logicblade: '' GArbage baby. Would be fine at 100.''

Natwaf: '' BABY trash. God I hate Baby pokemon. Especially the ones that require ****ing Happiness Evolution AND can't breed in the baby stages. And Igglybuff is UGLY.''

Natwaf’s Nicknames: Igglybuff - Jigglypuff - Wigglytuff Both Genders: Lullaby Flubbin: '' Augh, babies are supposed to be cute. If it’s not at least cute, what the hell is it good for?''

Magmortar: '' Wigglytuff needed an evolution, NOT A…BABY FORM! THERE IS NO REASON AS TO WHY IGGLYBUFF EXISTS MOTHER OF GOD THIS THING IS A PIECE OF ****. It’s not even cute. It looks ****ing terrifying. However, Igglybuff has one and ONLY ONE thing that saves it. It isn’t in the ****ing Chansey line.''

Raka: '' More like ugly barf hahaha. But seriously, it's so bad, meaningless, and ugly. And I like Jigglypuff.''

Stifled:  Babies give rabies.

Anagram: ''Baby pokemon are, with three exceptions, just the absolute worst. Why does this monstrosity even have a squiggly circle on its forehead? It doesn’t map to anything about Jigglypuff or Wigglytuff. Worst of all, it isn’t even cute. It’s got these big evil-looking black eyes when its evolutions don’t''

KBM: '' What is this monstrosity. I have nothing against the CONCEPT of baby Pokémon. There are actually a few that I like. But THIS thing.... *shudder*''

Drak:  WHO LET THE ABOMINATION BREED

Suor: ''Triple testicles spotted on its head. Its red eyes also foreshadow its murderous intentions.''

Anagram: It’s horrible, but at least it will always have the fact that it isn’t Igglybuff.

Brayze: He’s no ....magmar

CasanovaZelos: Not as cool as its evolutions, but I like it by association.

Cybat: Haha what the hell

Flubbin:  Why do bad things happen to good people?

Gen:  It looks like it was made to suck dicks and it does.

KBM: '' Credit where credit's due: This is not one of the horrible baby Pokémon that give them such a bad rap. That being said, this is not one of the good ones, either. I always feel like the lumps on top of its head are its brain poking through its flesh, which gives me a really creepy feeling.''

Magmortar: '' I think it’s cute in its own weird, derpy way, and unlike a lot of other babies, it is actually somewhat usable before it evolves. And it has no really stupid mean of evolving.''

Natwaf: '' NFE Trash. Not a baby, yay! Worst of the 3 though. I mean, look at poor Magby's head. It looks like it has alien eggs inside ready to hatch and pop out and eat people's faces.''

Paratroopa:  one butt on head was a solid decision but magby aren't you taking this a bit far I'm just saying less is more

Preston: '' Another pointless Baby Pokémon. Magby looks like it's suffering from brain hemorrhaging. Boring. Does anybody remember Chris Routly's Survivor SketchBoy Comics? '' http://survivor.thesketchpad.net/

Raka:  If there's a God, he would have put this thing out of its misery.

Stifled:  Much less offensive than other babies.

Suor: '' In the last topic, Board 8 identified its awkward tumors as headboobs. Evolves into lolmagmar the joke dumb duck pokémon.''

Anagram: ''Snubbull is ugly as hell, and not in a good way. It also misses a huge opportunity to be a dog made out of bubbles. It wears a dress you’d expect on Mimi from the Drew Carry Show. I can handle ugliness, but this is way over the line.''

Brayze: This pokemon was designed to be appealing to women, somehow I don’t think any women worked at gamefreak at that time

CasanovaZelos: ''I predict most people really hate this thing, but I love its stuck up attitude. Also the Fairy Pokemon.''

Cybat: "Ugly cute" doesn't really do anything for me, sorry.

Gen: ''You would not believe the epic battle that went on for my bottom spot. It was such a close race between five very eligible candidates, but ultimately I decided upon this... creature. Let me get one thing straight: I am a dog person. I love dogs almost as much as Roy Mustang. Even I, though, am not very fond of dogs of the bull variety. They're slobbery, gross, gassy, and most unforgivable of all they are ugly. Not cute-ugly like old people or babies with unattractive parents, just plain ugly. I can forgive an ugly pokémon, but not one that tries so hard and fails to be cute. That hideous tutu... those heinous polka dots, that hellish <span class="h39ep" id="h39ep_2" style="height: 14px;">FACE ! I can't even''

Goa: If you hate girls pampering tiny dogs in <span class="h39ep" id="h39ep_8" style="height: 14px;">real life, this is basically the Pokemon equivalent.

KBM: ''There's something really off-putting about Snubbull. I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be cute or not.''

Logicblade:  Is bad, but would not be fine at 100.

Magmortar: '' You cannot look at me with a straight face and tell me that’s a fairy. There’s no way. I like all sorts of dogs but Snubbull is an ugly mother.''

Mana: '' Never really like the Snubbull line, and he made a terrible Jigglypuff-type character int he show IIRC. Goofy looking and swarm only. ''

MSG: '' My least favorite Pokemon ever created. Just look at it. It's a living oxymoron. From the look of its face, I assume it's supposed to be designed as a relatively vicious <span class="h39ep" id="h39ep_4" style="height: 14px;">First -Stage normal type. But it has little cute paws for feet, stubs for hands, and then, like, a skirt for a body and double ears, I guess? I don't even know what either of those are. I mean, you know what color scheme just screams vicious? Pink with baby blue polka dots. So I guess it's not supposed to be vicious. Then what's with the face? Just looking at it pisses me off. F*** Snubbull, seriously.''

Natwaf:  I know it's supposed to be ugly, but I just love Pugs and dogs like that.

Paratroopa: ''a gross, ugly bulldog that looks like it's wearing some kind of awful polka dot maternity dress that someone would have worn in 1910? what a great pokemon! the kids will love it. ''

Preston: '' Snubbull is the Russell Hantz of Pokémon. I'm not sure if Snubbull is supposed to resemble a pit bull or a bull dog but I could care less. From the time it was I was born to mid-2002 (1993-2002) I was living in a house where my next door neighbor was a drug dealer that had a pit bull that would deposit it's feces on my front yard almost every day. It was gross. Compostable bags were hard to come by back then. I moved to a new house in July 2002 and then started 3rd Grade from there and well...yeah.'' That pit bull nearly mauled to death my own brother in the front yard one time. There will never be a Pokémon as bad as Snubbull. Only Goldeen can be compared in the same league as Snubbull. Last place. Thank you everyone. F*** you Snubull f*** you.

Raka:  A charming eyesore vomit

Sanity: '' Worst Pokemon so far from the first two Gens. This design is ass. Just so terrible looking.''

Starfox: ''I don’t even know where to begin to describe how much I hate this thing. I guess I should start by saying that I love dogs. Pretty much everyone here that knows me is already well aware of this. Which is exactly why I despise this hideous monstrosity. It’s ugly as sin in every possible way you could use that term. Its face looks like it’s been smashing it repeatedly against a wall like he’s a mentally challenged Uga (although I guess the mentally challenged part is redundant there). Then it decides that the appropriate attire to fit its face is a pink tutu with baby blue poka dots. What? You were already difficult to look at, and then you go and give yourself one of the worst color schemes imaginable? And hell, now you want to be a fairy? As if joining the worst type by a country mile would somehow improve your awfulness? A type you don’t even remotely fit? And then to top it off, you prance around pretending to be one of my favorite things on this planet. No. Cast yourself back into the fiery chasm from which you came, and let me forget that you exist. The fact that there manages to be one Pokemon more offensive than this is nothing short of astonishing.''

Stifled:  Creepy prissy angry dog.

Suor:  See Granbull, but b****ier.

Arti: Baby Pokemon are no good.

Brayze: Boy this thing needs a smaller, feebler <span class="k378x6762" id="k378x6762_7" style="height: 14px;">first evolution, that would be for the best' said nobody ever

CasanovaZelos: ''A teeny bit cute, but pointless. The cutoff for Pokemon I either dislike or can't bring myself to <span class="k378x6762" id="k378x6762_5" style="height: 14px;">care about.''

Cybat: Cleffa has the benefit of not looking quite as dumb as some of its fellow babies.

Drak: '' I don't like either of its evolutions, but I do like cleffa. it's cute in an understated way, without being ostentatious and showboating (see: jigglypuff, sylveon). if I had one in real life I would set it on my desk and absentmindedly pat it every so often.''

Gen: '' does it really need to exist? No, not at all. But I'm kinda glad it does because it's so cute that looking at it makes me happy.''

Goa:  I actually like this line, but we don't need <span class="k378x6762" id="k378x6762_4" style="height: 14px;">more pink balls with even worse stats than they had in gen I.

KBM: '' To use an age-old cliché: if there was an entry in the dictionary for “trying too hard,” a picture of THIS would probably be next to it. I already have never liked Clefairy, and this just makes the whole evolutionary line that much worse.''

Magmortar: '' Still a piece of ****. Not as bad as Igglybuff because if Clefable got an evolution, said evolution would probably have been banished to Ubers in this generation considering how good Clefable is now. So yeah. Wigglytuff sucks, and so does Cleffa.''

Mana: '' Cute baby. Worlds better than Smoochum and Igglybuff.''

Natwaf: '' BABY trash. Cleffa, unlike Igglybuff, is actually cute. Still doesn't excuse the hassle from trying to breed a good one. Natwaf's Nicknames: Cleffa - Clefairy - Clefable Male: Armstrong Female: Kaguya'' OrangeCrush:  I remember her being good in the card game

Paratroopa:  "WE MADE THIS SMALL CUTE PINK THING BUT NOW WE NEED TO MAKE A NEW SMALL CUTE PINK THING. WHAT DO WE DO AS A FOLLOWUP" "I KNOW" (copy, paste, size = 75%)

Preston: '' I'm for certain just going to rank the Red/Blue/Yellow/<span class="k378x6762" id="k378x6762_6" style="height: 14px;">Gold /Silver/Crystal generations. Going beyond 250 Pokémon is just preposterous. Hence forth I bring you Cleffa. Another useless Baby Pokémon that was introduced in G/S/C. Moving on.''

Raka: '' At least it didn't ruin its evolution. *jeers at Igglybuff*''

Starfox: ''I wasn’t originally going to do a writeup on this, but then when I thought about it, I realized it looked like a Luma. Bumped it up a spot for that.''

Stifled:  Babies are scabies.

Back in Pokémon Colosseum there were only 48 obtainable Pokémon you could catch (given there were over 300 at this point) this is a very small selection pool. Slugma is one of only THREE fire types in the whole game. Entei, Quilava and Slugma. That's it. I'm not even kidding you. You had to raise a Slugma and Slugma sucked. It barely got the job done. The Fire / Rock combo is terrible (X4 weak to Water) and any Water attack will likely knock it out in one hit. Ugggggggghhh. Screw you Slugma.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''I think it’s neat that he’s the Pokemon capable of the highest possible damage output, but… the way you have to get him in GSC just bothers me. The guy gives you Shuckle for you to protect him because Silver stole his other Pokemon… then if you want to actually use/keep it, you’ve basically stolen it yourself because the trainer asks for him back. I know it’s a game and no one should care, but it still bothers me kinda.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''I’ll always be debating on one thing about it. Did Game Freak intend for it to be a complete joke or not (being given Sticky Web seems to imply it they didn’t, but otherwise…)? It’s just so bad, and kind of dumb looking. It’s always looked more like a turtle than a bug to me.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''Every time I think of this pokémon I imagine it as like a creature from the Flintstones. Betty: "Hey Wilma, what's that?"

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: ''I love Meganium both because of nostalgia towards my first starter and because of the way it's portrayed. There's also the fact that it actually looks calm and peaceful, there's no other fully evolved starter in the series that achieves this and it deserves credit. People who bash Meganium because of its usefulness have probably never used one or are biased or don't know what they're talking about. Bayleef stage in particular is beast compared to the garbage that are Croconaw and Quilava in battle, and Meganium is still quite good by the time you reach the league.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Wickle: ''A guilty pleasure of mine that he was my best friend's starter during the two of us playing HGSS. He actually made sure I didn't dislike the Poke. And the two of us traded babies of our Pokes, which we named as ourselves before giving to the other.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''Well it looks dumb. Ughhh. One of the worst starter designs ever.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: it has that same dopey charm that I kind of like about dragonite, he seems like a dude that would totally be best buds but kind of frustratingly dimwitted sometimes we all have friends like that but they're not grass dinosaurs usually

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''This is a tough one for me. I almost really never like grass starters, and I don't like grass much as a type aesthetically, but I do like this line more than most. Fair to middling when balanced against my own prejudice.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Venusaur had a flower as part of its design but still looks menacing. This is just…weird. Especially with its face like that in most of the art. Doesn't help that battle-wise it might be the worst starter.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Ecks: ''I have to give some credit to this line, it's not as bad as I remember. Meganium especially is improved for me, looks like a dinosaur.''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''One of the ugliest fully evolved starters. I was also one of those weird children that picked Chikorita as my starter, so we had fun times together.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''So derpy. If not for Serperior, this would be the worst fully evolved grass starter. But since Serperior exists, it isn’t all that bad.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: ''Another uninspiring grass starter final form. Gens III and IV did them so much better.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''You'd think I'd like a plant dino, right? But Venusaur is WAY better, and Meganium is awful.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''Still don't think this is cute. Chikorita is the worst starter ever and anybody that says otherwise doesn't even know what the word veracity means. Screw you Chikorita.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''Oh no somebody got stupid all over that venusaur doctors say he may never recover. Extra extra read all about it, disfigured venusaur sues generation two ‘I’m dumb as hell’ says ill-conceived freak''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''Meganium more like Megaderpium. Got ‘em.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''I don’t know how they made a starter just about useless, but they did. At least it has a stupid looking face. And a stupid cry. Stupid dinosaur thing.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''Ruins Chikorita and Bayleef, and I’m not entirely sure how. It’s not substantially different from Bayleef in design, but still—something is lost in the evolution.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''This is the worst fully evolved starter ever, and the only one I'd put in my bottom ten per generation. I mean ye gods, I can deal with an ugly Pokémon because generally if it looks like ass then it looks like it can f*** some s*** up, but I almost regretted picking Totodile, because I could not take 'Silver seriously when he threw out this hot mess:''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: ''This was the first time they experimented with Normal/Not Flying, something I wish they'd done more of.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;">Hitmontop is just one of those pokemon where the more I think about it the less I like it. To further explain why I present to you the story of its origin from the perspective of YOUm the average pocket monster designer. ''

''<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;">Okay so you've got two Hitmon pokemon: one that specializes in kicking and one that specializes in punching. And<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;"> since you're some kind of moron you've just invented a hideous baby pokemon that connects the two and can turn into either. So what's next? Well let's make a third evolution. There's no shortage of ideas you can follow through on, but logic dictates the next step would be either a pokemon that is equally adept at both kicking and punching, or one that has a totally unique method of attacking that involves neither. To that end, you're Japanese so immediately you're thinking sumo or judo which involve throwing one's own weight around and using the opponent's weight against them respectively. But will this translate well with western audiences? Probably not. Best save those ideas for later (Hariyama, Throh). ''

<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;">Okay well back to square one. Something that uses both kicks and punches with equal skill. Gosh, what kind of fighters do this nowadays? Oh, uh-doi, kickboxers! MMA fighters also do this, but this is the year 2000 and that sport is still growing in popularity. Still there is  one<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;"> MMA specialist that's pretty dang popular both here and overseas- THAT'S IT! HITMONORIS! IT WAS ALL SO EASY! Welp, that's a wrap. Book it. You're just finished sketching out what's sure to be a winning design.

<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;">And that's when your mentally lacking eleven year old niece walks in. "Durr..." she says, dribble running down her chin and onto her new toy which you purchased from the pharmacy one block over so she'd leave you alone long enough to finish your desk work for the night. Placing her cheap slobbery dreidel right on said desk, she spins it, flinging spittle all over your drawing of Hitmonoris. "Uncle Toshiro you should make THIS into a pokemon ~hob gobble derp!"

<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;">"Oh but sweetie," you begin to protest. However your misgivings fall on deaf and dumb ears. "MAEK DIS POGEYMAN NAO!" she cries. Is it too late to abort? Sadly yes. So you do the damn design of a spinning pokemon that has nothing to do with fighting so you draw some legs on it, and a tail that looks like a leg and now it kicks. It spins and kicks. Doesn't that make it more of a breakdancer? I mean no one in their right mind would take such an absurd fighting stance and expect to do anything but utterly embarrass himself but the deed is done and it's too late to redraw a non-drool covered version of your first pick.

<span style="color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18px;">Sweating bullets, you turn this design of this... Hitmontop in to your supervisor of design. He stares at it critically. "Huuuuuuuuuurk, I love it!!" says he, eyes drifting apart from one another in a blank unseeing gaze. Oh, thank Buddha. Right you forgot this one was dropped on his head as an infant. Satoshi-san only gave him the job because his mother was a friend of the family.

<span style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;">So in a nutshell Hitmontop is the epitome of wasted potential, is related to his family in name only, is dumb and ugly (imo), and doesn't have a unique method of attack to set him apart. Sorry but kicking  while spinning!<span style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(11,12,14);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',HelveticaNeue,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;"> is still kicking, and there's almost dozen ideas I'd rather have seen implemented before something that stupid. In fact I'll list them. Things I'd rather have seen in a Hitmon before Brazilian dance-fighting: MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, judo, karate, jiujitsu, tae kwando, hapkido, bojitsu (yes though it violates the Hitmon tradition of hand-to-hand combat, an ACTUAL stick-user would have been neat), sumo... that's it. I forget when Ong Bak came out, but a Hitmonjaa would have been the s***. Tell me it wouldn't have! You are a liar. It's like... you mean to tell me not ONE famous martial artist could have lent his name to a pokemon? I ain't buyin' it! Hitmonsuck es dum the end bye.

It’s ugly as hell and ruins Marill, but I hope you like seeing it everywhere because of its huge power. Ugh, this thing. Marill is the only pikaclone with an evolution, and given how much worse than their preevos Raichu and Azumarill are, it’s not hard to see why. Although it is hard to see why we didn’t get Marill’s baby form until much later.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Wickle: ''OCTILLERY CANNON FIRE! This name is just too good.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Octopus fires everything, and I mean everything, at things. Seeds, ice, electricity, even fire. Some people don’t like it not outrunning people, but you know what? Baton Pass it some speed. Problem solved. It’s not like they’ll get rid of it.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: I liked that it resembled the Zelda enemy and its varied moveset.

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Clever concept; the name works really well. It's a shame it's so slow, but its movepool is great. Plus, Moody is hilarious.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: I’m only writing this because I feel rather stupid for only just now getting the pun

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: ''Not the worse thing they could do with an octopus, and it has a decent unique move. I even used one to beat the Elite 4 in Pearl once.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''I like different types of Pokemon. An octopus hadn’t been done yet so I was happy to see it.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''I'm not sure why Remoraid turns into this, really, but it's honestly pretty cool so I'm willing to forgive the utter lack of sense that this makes. There are cooler Water types, to be sure, but this at least improves tremendously on a lazy design. Even if it is just going from “just a fish” to “just a brightly-colored octopus.”''

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: WHY DOES AN OCTOPUS EVOLVE FROM A FISH

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''Probably my favorite pokémon name just for the brilliant creativity behind it. Also Octazooka is ridiculous and great. Sadly I never raised one but hey that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it for what it is. I will never understand why it's not a one-off pokémon or why it evolves from Remoraid of all things. I honestly think GameFreak just wanted to justify the existence of the little fish clinging onto Mantine and thus needed it to become its own pokémon like Shellder, only... Shellder/Cloyster actually made sense as a standalone line.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: Hay fever octopus fires inky wads at opponents, horrifies onlookers

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''I like how its moveset is based on its design/lore. But why does it literally look like a normal octopus?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''UNLEASH THE MEDIOCRE KRAKEN! Bonus points for Troll Volkner using it in his ELECTRIC gym in Diamond/Pearl. Laughed my ass off when that happened.''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Natwaf’s Nicknames: Remoraid- Octillery Male: DaveyJones Female: The Kraken  Preston: Meh. At least Octillery knows some moves that are actually named after it like Octazooka. How many Pokémon out there do you know are honored like that?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''A lot of people complain that it looks nothing like Remoraid, but I get the joke. My problem with Octillery is that it’s just ugly and dumb. There’s a lot you can do with an octopus, but this is just like some dumb cartoon. You can say that about a lot of pokemon, I suppose, but Octillery really strikes me as just the absolute worst.''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''Why does this evolve from Remoraid? That alone makes it memorable.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Drak: ''so ugly. also, this is kinda unfair to the pokemon, but joyrock has an octillery alt and I have therefore come to associate octillery with terrible posts'' <h2 class="MsoNormal">'''47. Wobbuffet'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: Troll in chief of the Pokemon world, at your service.

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: ''He's the best troll Pokemon in the Smash games. I love his facial expression too.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: Troolllll.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ecks: ''If it wasn't for the anime, I wouldn't have much of an opinion on this guy. He's got a funny gimmick though, and he's pretty unique in the games.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''I love it's face, I love it's anime cry, I love the concept. Lol eternal Wobbuffet VS Wobbuffet. The tail is totally it's real body, and the blue thing is a distraction. Too bad I suck at predicting though, couldn't use it to it's full potential.''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Raka:  ''Natwaf should know that it says 'Keeenapa?' in the Indonesian dub of the Genesect movie. It's just too funny.''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: ''The entire idea behind Wobbuffet is really quite fascinating. Nothing like this had ever been done before, or since. I never ended up using one myself, and any time I ran into one in the games, they were pretty damn stupid, but it's still quite unique and incredibly powerful in the right hands.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: WOOOOOOOOBBBUFFEEETTT!!!

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: A hilarious design mixed with a unique combat style.

<p class="MsoNormal">Wickle: ''XD. Shame they took away that face in Gen 6.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''Wobbuffet is kind of hilarious, honestly... but I like so many other Pokémon in this generation for real reasons.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''I'm torn. On the one hand I love Wobbuffet's concept and how it relates to its very unique battle style. On the other I hate Team Rocket's. On the first hand female Wobbuffet wear lipstick now. That is hilarious. Back on the second its anime gimmick was done to death, and then resurrected only to be re-killed! On both hands, Shadow Tag. My opinion on this thing is as unstable as the pokémon itself, but overall... I suppose I like it.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''In-game, I despise this thing. The anime Wobbuffet is great though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Possibly the best troll in the game. The concept is so mean and executed so perfectly. But seriously what is up with its female form''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''In terms of battling potential, it went from what might be the worst Pokemon in the entire series (including NFEs) to instant Uber in-between generations. Not bad. Really, as long as you had at least two Pokemon, Wobbuffet had no way of doing ANYTHING to you until it was Struggling time back in GSC. That’s…wow. Anyway it’s a fun punching bag, and now a very deadly one. You don’t battle Wobbuffets very often but when you do, pray.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''Any feelings I might have had for Wobbuffet are completely eclipsed by the anime. Holy ****, popping out of its pokeball ceased being a joke. I don’t mean that it wasn’t funny, I mean that Team Rocket scenes basically consisted of like Jessie and James discussing whatever, and agreeing on a plan, then Wobbuffet ends the scene by appearing and saying its name. It’s literally not an actual joke.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Poke: WOOOOB!

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: ''jessie got rid of her wobbuffet? what the hell, he was like, the deepest and most insightful character on the show, now who will dispense useful wisdom and teach the kids good morals''

<p class="MsoNormal">Karo: Stupid annoying pokemon with a stupid annoying gimmick.

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''I used to have this toy called the punching bag bunch and it was like a monster that came with one of those weighted inflatable punching bags, and it’s so obscure that I can’t even find it on google. Oh wobbuffet? Yeah it’s crap''

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''I hate Wobbuffet. The "popping out of the Pokéball" running gag in the anime got tiresome and really old. Not to mention we already had Misty's Psyduck and James's Victreebel do that. We didn't need a third character in the same mold as them. WOBBUFFET lasted longer in Jessie and James's party than Arbok and Weezing did. Wow. Wobbuffet also sucks in Super Smash Bros. so screw you Wobbuffet. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Karo: Squiggly and wiggly!

Paratroopa: so goddamn adorable I want to wear him like a scarf

Magmortar: ''It’s cute. Really really cute. Not good but I don’t care! Ferrets are awesome.''

OrangeCrush: A guilty favorite

Poke: ''DOINK DOINK DOINK! Ermine playing Pokemon Stadium 2 and having Furret on his team was awesome.''

Suor: By far the best and coolest “generic beginner Normal type”, I love its sleek and sort of serpentine shape, and I love pokes with wide movepools (even when they're bad like this one).

Brayze: Tube weasel pokemon capable of not much except cleaning pipes

CasanovaZelos: A perfect design, especially in the 3D games.

Cybat: ''Cutest early Normal type, for what that's worth. But man is it useless.''

Preston: ''Somewhat useful as Furret was a tank in Pokémon Colosseum but not necessarily that great. Mediocre at best''

Gen: okay.jpg

Anagram: Who cares?

KBM: ''What happened to the cute, round body and the whole “balancing-on-the-tail” thing? Those were really the only things Sentret had going for it. Also “Furret” is a dumb name.''

Natwaf: ''Probably the worst of the early non-bird catchable critters. What the hell is this thing? It's not cute or adorable, it's just freaky.''

Stifled: ''Not only is it boring, but Linoone in Gen 3 is pretty much the same exact thing. So we get two copies of a garbage Pokemon. ''

Goa: ''I don't mind ferrets, but this one is again a bit too generic for its own good. At least Sentret was a little more original.''
