Board 8 Ranks Generation I Pokemon

This is the first part of Board 8 Ranks Pokemon.

starfox2245 created and hosted this project. Board 8 users sent lists to him that ranked the Gen 1 Pokemon from #1 to #151, with #1 being that user's favorite Pokemon and so on. starfox added up the lists to create a master list that hopefully gave a good idea of Board 8's taste in Pokemon. See here for more details on the project.

While this was the 1st gen to be ranked, it was the 5th to make it to the Wiki. No one had thought to copy it to the Wiki at the time, and for a while we thought that most of the info was lost. But eventually, someone got starfox to share his data again, and Steiner put it in a spreadsheet. Sanity had also saved the topics and sent them to Steiner and OrangeCrush. Thanks to that, the rankings and writeups can be documented on this Wiki.

starfox started posting the rankings on October 6, 2014 and finished on November 4.

Users Participating In The Gen I Pokemon Rankings
41 users participated this gen, which would end up being significantly lower than Gens II-V.

Personally speaking, the idea of ranking 151 Pokemon was daunting to me, and I wasn't sure if it would lead to anything, so I sat out. After seeing its success and hearing that making lists weren't that bad, I participated in the next several rankings. Others may have had similar thoughts.

Sanity - "Literally drooling. Or perhaps just not a swallower."

Raka - "Look at its face."

Preston - "Gloom looks incredibly stupid with saliva dripping from its mouth.

On the plus side though? I don't think finding a Leaf Stone to make Gloom evolve isn't that much of a crutch to find and it's not like any other Pokémon uses the Leaf Stone to evolve anyway (besides Weepinbell) so that saves Gloom somewhat.

Nothing else is going to waste with the Leaf Stone."

Wickle - It's not like we have to look at its face when using it... and it's easy to kill so don't have to look at it for long. Nor has it really been too terrible of a face, it's just like looking at a drunk. Better than looking at some certain B8 users.

Stifled - Creepy drunk poison plant thing.

Magmortar - JESUS CHRIST THIS THING IS UGLY. And it stinks. Mother of God. What a combination!

Gen - One important thing you should know about me for this and all my subsequent lists: I. Love. Middies. It's the only thing that makes my rankings quirkier than most others'. Gloom is just one of those middle evolutions unlovable even to me.

Comm - Ugly, gross, useless

Flubbin - Gloom is ugly. I love the other two members of this line, but god Gloom is just gross.

Paratroopa - uggggh stupid and gross

Karo - Oh god, stop f***ing drooling all over everything you horrible awful disgusting thing you.

Inviso - This thing is absolutely hideous, and the only purpose it serves in the anime is to be especially gross-smelling. The fact that they needed to give this piece of s*** TWO evolutions to justify picking it over the vastly superior Bellsprout line speaks volumes.

Starfox - Yeah, easily one of the most hideous Pokemon they've ever come up with. And they've come up with living garbage.

Wickle: Far better than Metapod. It looks good, isn't literally a bunch of phallic puns, and can poison peeps. GG.

Starfox: I always thought Kakuna looked cool… completely useless, but cool looking. That’s about it though.

Paratroopa: kind of the line of demarcation between good and bad pokemon for me

Gen: One exception to my middie love is cocoons. They're always the least interesting phase of an insect's life so it makes sense that they'd be the least interesting stage of pokémon. A later generation does provide a couple exceptions to this trend however.

Stifled: I like Kakuna slightly better than Metapod because I prefer yellow.

Preston: Sometimes Kakuna knows Poison Sting. Let that sink in for a minute.

Bane: Hate this line, he looks kind of cool but ultimately is useless.

Raka: At least it looks like a cool alien

Magmortar: It’s a filler between Weedle and Beedrill. If you catch one that wasn’t a Weedle before, tough ****ing luck. God, I hate this thing.

Gen - *summons forth Goldeen* *sees it flop around on the ground* *has a hearty chuckle*

Comm - Kinda cute, but boring

Inviso - Goldeen is very pretty looking, obviously, but everything about Goldeen outside of the main games is just really terrible. In Pokemon Snap, it is the most obnoxious Pokemon to get any decent pictures of. And in Smash, it's completely useless, but not in a funny way like Magikarp (again, because it's so cute). It's just annoying. Plus, it's one of a large number of worthless water-types in these games.

Raka - ”I feel pretty, oh so pretty.”

Stifled - ” Getting one from a Pokeball in Smash is funny.”

Paratroopa - ” goldeen, f*** no”

Logicblade - Oh look a dumb fish who is awful.

Magmortar - “This fish has always annoyed me. It seems like they’re just so tanky when Fisherman have them early on in the games, then you get it in Smash Bros. and it does nothing. When you get to catch one in a game, it’s next to useless. Next.”

Preston - ” Goldeen is the Jenna Lewis of Pokémon.

I frickin’ hate Goldeen and I hope I’m not alone with the commodity here about this. No seriously. It sucks offensively and defensively with no good moves to pin your opponent down with in a battle. Goldeen is nefarious for appearing in every single Super Smash Bros. game by providing no use in combat with using splash and only in the game just to ridicule and mock the player. Listen to me people.

This broken up floatation device is barely…I don’t even…just wow. Any user that doesn’t put Goldeen dead last is incorrect. Goldeen sucks. Thank you everyone. Last place. Such an honor. ^_^

If you are an enthusiast towards Goldeen than you are a terrible person.”

Inviso - I actually find these guys adorable, and they'll always have a small spot in my heart for being one of the few Pokemon I can actually KINDA draw (without being insanely easy to draw, like Voltorb or Electrode). I just find them to be an interesting concept or cute little eggs that are still somehow grass-type.

Raka – “Delicious and cute.”

Paratroopa - ”quick ranking of eggs that are part of exeggcute. the big one in the center > that weird broken one > the smirking one in the bottom left > that kind of crazy little one in the center > the serious one in the bottom right > the forgettable one in the top left”

Stifled - ” Leggo my Eggo! Most people probably think this is a dumb Pokemon, but I think it’s cute.”

Magmortar – “Most famous amongst myself for being the trickiest little thing when it comes to completing Pokemon quizzes on Sporcle. In case you were wondering if that means anything, yes, it does, because it gives it ONE purpose today.”

Comm - Stupid idea

Preston – “Exeggcute is pretty stupid looking. I’m surprised we haven’t had a Pokémon that you can use as a snap on backpack. The only notable thing about Exeggcute is this.

EXEGGCUTE NOW!!! BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!! “

Gen - Why is it called "ex-egg"? They're still very much eggs. Rotten eggs that probably stink.

Paratroopa: I kind of wanted to rank this like 20 times in my list as a joke

Wickle: It's an octopus. It's only bad if you're not exactly the smartest person around the block and actually get influenced by the wrong side of the internet. It also has 'cool' in its name and isn't an ice-type. Making him cool in a non-punny way, which means good.

Magmortar: Another Pokemon mostly here because it is nice for EV training. A bit annoying, but compared to Zubat, it is small time.

Inviso: I get why this is hated, because it's basically the sea version of Zubat, which shows up a lot and is unavoidable since it's in an area where you're GONNA find random encounters. And it's not visually appealing. However, it was the first shiny I ever found, so I have a slightly soft spot in my heart for it.

Comm: Annoying watertrash, only ranked 120th for me because its a jellyfish and more memorable than other Gen 1 pokes

Preston: Squidward Tentacles

Gen: Thar be the Zubat of the sea, cap'n.

Raka: Tent-un-cool

Starfox: Too many bad memories of this thing stopping me every three tiles… it’s unforgivable.

Bane: Most of the reason why I dislike him is for the abundance of them in the water when you swim. And his design isn’t all that great, especially compared to how cool his evolution looks

Logicblade: The reason to hate surfing.

Magmortar: ...uhhh. It's literal gunk. Honestly, that's all there is to it. It's useful enough. Which is more than I can say about a lot of other Pokemon.

Inviso: For a sludge monster, it's a really cute design, but it just doesn't have any real importance to me. MUK has nostalgia, but Grimer doesn't...and even though it's probably BETTER than Koffing, Koffing has Team Rocket nostalgia going for it while Grimer doesn't have much of anything.

Wickle: Four arms and two are hugging itself. I still remember days of Magnitude, Magnitude, Magnitude YES 9 POWER!

Stifled: Smirky smirky. I both like him and think he’s boring. It’s an odd feeling.

Raka: Nice looking Rock Pokemon.

Anagram: Does anyone in the universe care about Graveler beyond making jokes about shiny ones self-destructing?

Starfox: While it’s inoffensive for the most part, it is kinda visually unappealing. And the fact that its self destruct killed my Dratini in my first Nuzlocke doesn’t help it

Bane: A sensible evolution from Geodude, but doesn’t interest me much.

Preston: Evolving a Pokemon via trading = Epic failure

mnk: This thing is just ugly.

Preston: I hate Weedle. This troubling pest knows Poison Sting which can poison your Pokemon in the Viridian Forest. The only known cure for Poison Sting is an Antidote and those are elusive to find at the early stages of the R/B/Y games.

Poison is the only status inflictment that can KO a Pokemon outside of combat. That sucks. Did I also mention that Weedle was the first Pokemon that Ash Ketchum failed to catch in the anime? Bottom of the barrel for sure. Spearow doesn’t count since Ash attempted to throw a rock at it and not a Poké Ball.

Anagram: I know it's the most annoying thing in the game, but honestly? I really like its design. Golbat ruins its simplicity.

Stifled: I had a plushie of him as a kid. Otherwise, he’s super annoying in caves

Natwaf: NFE Trash. That said, it's adorable.

Inviso: Yeah, it's definitely a pest, but it's so cute and evolves into SUCH awesome stuff like Golbat and eventually Crobat. I've used a Zubat is so many games based entirely on the fact that I want a Crobat, and I just have a fondness for it.

Bane: Surely lower on other people’s lists, it’s oddly pretty cute. I think because it’s this tiny little thing with no eyes, and big ears and fangs. I dunno, I picture saying in a tiny little voice “I’m gonna eat you!” and proceeding to nibble on your arm. I also like the blue and purple contrasts it has.

Paratroopa: kind of weird and cool when you realize it has no eyes what the f***

Wickle: I will always remember its cry, and I never had any want to ever catch one of these. Supersonic also pissed me off back then. I hate Confusion more than Poison, honestly.

Karo: Stop the bats! Stop the bats! Make them go and not come back!

Magmortar: If I didn’t use this in Diamond, it would be a lot lower. And it really needs a better early movepool. Weedle’s Poison Sting tends to be more worthwhile than a Zubat Leech Life. POISON STING.

Magmortar: Useful once in a while I guess. You really should’ve been able to get one earlier in the first gen games. I don’t think many people have actually used a Tangela in a team.

Natwaf: honestly, the only feeling that surfaced when I was placing Tangela is indifference. The feet were a nice touch, but sadly, not even potential for tentacle shenanigans could help it

Stifled: It has a face somewhere in there.

Inviso: It's the only pure-grass Pokemon in the first generation (well, maybe Exeggcute is too?) But it's just nothing special. My experience with Tangela is purely weakness with the various weak-ass vine-based attacks. This thing is basically designed to fulfill weird tentacle-based fetishes, and it doesn't do that well.

Inviso: I can draw Voltorb and it's cute, and I honestly think both it AND Electrode are cute in their ball design (and being used as mimics in dungeons and whatnot). It's just not all that special though because as far as an electric-type goes, my recollection is that it never really learned a lot of skills to USE that electric typing...even if it IS super-fast.

Wickle: ... honestly I got nothing. I used him and liked his speed, that is all...

Mankey makes a nice substitute to use with attacks like Karate Chop and High Jump Kick even if both attacks don’t have the greatest accuracy or hit ratio in the world.

I guess you can say Kabuto’s stance is where the fodder line is at.

Kabuto was alright. I don’t really get the hate for these guys. The fossil Pokémon were completely optional if you wanted to resurrect them back from the dead or not back on Cinnabar Island. And that’s just my viewpoint about them. Again? Kabuto was alright.

Mana: Just been an odd preference for the longest time. Paras is my favorite Pokemon and I cannot explain it. Paratroopa: based on a real parasitic fungus that infects bugs and slowly turns them into zombies. so, basically amazing.

Natwaf: An adorable NFE Trash

Bane: Its mouth is creepy but its eyes make it cute, and the episode with Team Rocket trying to train it and cheer it on even though it was weak was adorable.

Red: This line has the novelty of being the RBY Spore users, but pretty unremarkable otherwise.

Wickle: GO SPORE GO.

Gen: Paras is the hugest pain in the ass pokémon to raise that has ever been invented- at least back in RBY days. FRLG made him less pathetic but let me get back to the point. Every non-Scyther/Pinsir Bug type pokémon started off weak in the very first generation, no exception. The point of Bug types was that they grow fast and get "strong" quickly. Except for Paras. That thing was like Magikarp weak, had crap attacks aside from the most basic Scratch, and took what felt like ages to evolve. Parasect is almost worth the trouble and effort. Almost.

Magmortar: Easy experience, and you get mushrooms from it. That&rsquo;s about it. But that&rsquo;s more than other Pokemon.

Raka: Cool design.

Starfox: The only reason it would was this high was the whole fungus thing being pretty cool&hellip; purely based on design, it&rsquo;s bottom ten easily.

Logicblade: Not down. It kills the cute little guy and is just a dumb mushroom parasite. Also weak as hell. :(

Flubbin: Paras is such a nothing it physically hurts me.

Preston: I hate Paras. I collect Pokémon plushies and under my recitation I don’t even one of Paras. I hate Paras because it&rsquo;s so finicky and dopey looking. The Bug / Grass combo is failure and just by using one EMBER attack against it will cause it to die in combat. Screw you Paras.

Stifled: Worst line in Gen 1 by a mile. Paras benefits a bit from Parasect being so ugly.

Stifled: Superior birdy line.

Starfox: I’ve always had a little bit of a soft spot for this line and I’m not entirely sure why… Pidgey was always really cute to me though.

Bane: The most basic bird. It serves its purpose as the ultimate early-game Pokemon. The anime episode with all the fat Pidgey’s was pretty funny.

Preston: Just like Rattata, Tentacool and Zubat? Pidgey was way too prevalent for me to find in patches of grass for me to care for. At least it wasn’t totally useless to carry around in your party.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. Oddly enough, NOT the worst early bird.

Wickle: ... well, it was a simple catch back in the day and just minor training. Early catch that helped me through Viridian Forest without dying to poison 'cause of Gust.

Magmortar: Uh…it awards you more experience than Rattata does, right? (don’t answer that question) Would probably be higher if it evolved sooner. Both times

Paratroopa: probably the worst bird

Magmortar: Like its pre-evolution, this thing and Sporcle are not fun times together. Usefulness is a big bonus, though. Walking jungle in the sun is scary

Paratroopa: more pokemon should be designed during a really weird drug trip

Wickle: Go go coconuts!

Raka: Crazy coconut crooks.

Stifled: The original tree.

Sanity: Most nonsensical evolution ever.

Starfox: I remember reading that a number of Pokedex entries said Exeggcute was more biologically related to seeds than eggs, despite their appearance. I guess that makes the evolution a little less weird? But then the name is dumb, so… whatever.

Anagram: Eggs turning into coconuts is almost clever. Too bad Exeggutor isn't.

Bane: So dumb looking, I can’t even with it. The way the leaves look do somewhat appeal to me but that’s as far as it goes. Like it doesn't even have arms, just legs with it’s three heads. I wanna push it over so it can’t get back up and rolls around on the ground.

Preston: According to the Sporcle quiz results that Grapefruitking made (R.I.P.) Exeggutor was the least correct Pokémon with an average score of just 34.9%.

That means that just a 1/3 of nearly two million people that have attempted the quiz don’t remember Exeggutor. For that? I have to put it in the bottom of the list.

Raka: Like an evolved Jigglypuff, but slightly more forgettable.

Natwaf: Only reason he's this high? He's the center of my Do The Wave deck back when I was playing Pokemon TCG.

Preston: Why did Jigglypuff have to get fat? Take everything I just mentioned about my Gloom write-up and just replace the word Leaf Stone with Moon Stone for Wigglytuff.

Gen: not as cute as Jiggly but also not as annoying. Honestly if I could go back in time and eradicate one pokémon line from existence I would be hard pressed to find a line more worthy than this one. True there are lines I hate much more, but none that have caused such an international craze for so little reason.

Gen: I have always loved that soulless look in its eyes. Empty eyes. Doll eyes.

Magmortar: Ever since Gen 4, I've had a real spot for it. That typing is really horrible sometimes, but it comes with a Water immunity (at least starting with that generation) and an ability at shrugging off Earthquakes only matched by those that don't have to deal with Earthquake. It was the first real Spore user, and that by itself gave it a niche until some boxing kangaroo jabroni (and later, Electrode's forest brother) got it. Then you have those big, meaty&hellip;whatever, they make me think it's a mushroom crab. I know I&rsquo;m in a minority here, but Parasect is a top tier Bug and a top tier Grass.

Raka: Clefairy after binge-eating.

Gen: As a standalone pokémon it's okay. It's fairly cute and has great versatility in its moveset. As an extension of Clefairy I can't help but think it's unnecessary. It's just a less cute Clefairy with big wings. There's not really enough differentiation between the two to warrant Clefable's existence.

Bane: Game Freak were able to slip in breasts into a children’s franchise by making the two spots on her chest a totally different color than her body and round, and protruding slightly. Pretty creep when you think about it. Other than that she’s pretty cool.

Paratroopa: boobs on a pokemon is sort of disconcerting

Preston: And the Nidorat family is finally put to rest. I was generally perplexed as to why Gary Oak would shift between a Nidoqueen and Nidoking in his party throughout the anime. Nidoking was used as cannon fodder against Giovanni’s Mewtwo and I don’t think Oak ever used Nidoking again. Nidoqueen had plated boobs. Eww. I’m sorry but I don’t just get the appeal of the Nidorat family. It doesn’t help that the Nidorats were probably the ugliest Pokemon of the Original 150 besides Jynx.

And I was pissed off when you finally faced Giovanni in R/B/Y for the eighth and final badge? Giovanni didn’t deploy like some secret weapon you know like MEWTWO like he did on the TV show. Yeah that pissed me off. Nidoqueen and Nidoking? That’s seriously the best you have? One critical hit from Surf, Solarbeam or Ice Beam will take them down in no time.

Preston: Horsea is delectable. She’s so cute.

Paratroopa: horse a was not a very good radiohead album

Gen: I went back and forth on Horsea and Seadra until I looked at them. I reeeally looked at them. And Horsea is so simplistic it's boring. Cute yes, but bland. Seadra has the superior design by far. But since Horsea is the one that has a logo modeled after it maybe that's just me.

Magmortar: Magneton just looks really, really sleek to me. It looks fantastic in just about any sprite (but not always in 3D – literal-three-Magnemites in console 3D games is just what) and was a bit of a different Electric-type at the time. It wasn’t fast, but if it hit you, it hit you really, really hard. Then it got a Steel typing to gain some marginal hit taking, and then became a revolution with abilities in Gen 3. Extra speed even makes it one of the few NFEs that has had offensive purpose over its evolution. In short, to me, Magneton is a beast that just has the nicest look.

Raka: Dang cool.

Natwaf: VERY useful during my Mono-Steel playthroughs. Zaps water types that don't care about my resists and resist Steel right back.

Wickle: I have tremendous respect for this Poke. Even if it is literally three Magnemites attached... it is the only of the trio Pokes to make complete sense (Magnets and getting attached). And then I just for some reason like FE elec types.

Preston: I feel bad for putting Magneton only at number 72. But it’s main problem lies with the fact that the only place where you can catch a Magnemite at is at the Power Plant.

Stifled: Three Magnemites in one isn't very creative but still pretty cool.

Red: 3x Magnemites. I guess thats better than 1 magnemite. Sort of. Both mostly worthless if inoffensive.

For those who have the time to waste trying to secure one early game it's surprisingly sturdy for a normal type. And later on you can load it up with TMs. It's an all round resourceful and adorable poke.

Stifled: Notable for being a holographic star rarity card for seemingly no reason.

Wickle: I will forever remember this as one of the most annoying Pokes in the anime because of them constantly in that little Metronome characteristic. Also I hate Metronome.

Preston: Fun Fact: Clefairy was intended to be the mascot of the Pokémon franchise before ultimately that position was selected and taken by Pikachu instead. How that came to be I’ll never know.

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Ana.b747.pokemon.arp.750pix.jpg

I mean come on. Clefairy was even plastered on airplanes together with Pikachu and Togepi so I won’t ever be able to figure that one out with how Clefairy was intended to be THE NEXT BIG THING. I don’t like Clefairy. I remember wasting a good 30 minutes just trying to find a Clefairy in Mt. Moon and when I finally caught one? I didn’t find it to be very resourceful. Clefairy was a TM hog and little else. Jigglypuff was FAR SUPERIOR. Clefairy hardly screams poster child of Pokémon to me. I wish we could have the option to release Pokémon in the wild instead of going to the PC every time to do this but nooooooooo.

I always had a soft spot for Arbok and Weezing even if both of them were treated mostly like punching bags throughout 90% of the anime.

Magmortar: One of my favorites in Melee and generally a neat Poison-type. It can take physical hits really well and it’s good at SPECIAL attacking, in a variety at that, something that cannot be said about many other Poison-types (to give you an idea, it actually has the same Special Attack as Nidoking). The latter thing gives it some big originality and coolness points to me.

Drak: does nothing but sleep and troll all day. what a boss

Red: Decently cute, a bit annoying with the teleport. But its difficulty to catch may be necessary as if you pick it up early in any game it will turn it into easy-mode once it starts learning moves. I also have a thing for psychic powers.

Bane: Reminds me of a wise, blind old man even though it’s the first form. Which makes it pretty cool. And I like it being Psychic and always teleporting away (well in-game I don’t but in theory I do)

Natwaf: NFE Trash with an annoying gimmick. OTOH, it looks neat

Magmortar: Few Pokemon are more annoying to get to work in-game, but ohhhhh so worth it. One of my favorite first form Pokemon to use.

Paratroopa: I think abra is really g- (teleport)

Stifled: STOP TELEPORTING!

Preston: I never did like Abra very much. For the reason being why the only way you could catch one is if you hurl a Poké Ball at it with full health on your first attempt. Abra immediately flees using Teleport (the next move) being the pesky SOB it is.

Teleport is the only move Abra can learn (on it’s own) until it evolves into Kadabra at Level 16. This is during a time when there was no running shoes or experience share back in R/B/Y. >_>

Abra was basically Magikarp but replace Splash with Teleport. That’s really all I have to appoint here about Abra.

Anyway, my question: Voltorb is meant to be a mimic of pokeballs/item balls left on the ground... but why would anyone confuse an Electrode for an item ball? Do they sleep upside down? Are the protags color blind? But then again, the balls are spheres, after all. No idea why they don't just roll away instead of staying upright with red on the top and white on the bottom

Magmortar: I did end up with this thing a Nuzlocke of FireRed, but even then it ended up being my least useful and most forgettable team member by far. But still, it avoided a fair number of close calls, and was decent enough considering what it started as.

Paratroopa: all memories of this thing are related to it not making the trading card game fun to play

Starfox: I’ve never liked this line… while Oddish is redeemable, Gloom and Vileplume are just two of the ugliest things.

Raka: Magnitude and Earthquake user.

Magmortar: I will forever wonder what is underneath this thing and Diglett both. Dugtro is a pretty decent Pokemon, couldn't have a more lame design but in battling it comes in handy if you really hate Tyranitar or Heatran or whatever.

Bane: Laughably uninventive for an evolution but still effective, its call used to scare me compared to Diglett’s cute little “Diglett Dig!”. And then Dugtrio would go “TRIO TRIO TRIO” like what the hell Dugtrio calm down.

Gen: I can forgive Magneton for being 3 Magnemites stuck together because that actually makes sense for the evolution of a magnet, but wtf is this s***? Seriously what a lame excuse for a pokemon. I only ranked it THIS high because I like Diglett.

It started off so well, against the weak ass Pidgeot... and then Exeggutor appeared, who died toan SE hit.... but then out came Alakazam, who was faster than my entire team. It OHKO'd everybody, and even Crobat was outspeeded. Weezing wasn't tough enough to take a hit (forgot it can take Physical but not Special). Then out came Tentacruel... TOOK PSYCHIC LIKE A FREAKIN' BOSS. It OHKO'd Zam, and the rest was easy. Personal anecdote aside, it's also useful as a wall and other roles. Plus, it just looks badass. And reminds me of tentacle hentai.

Mana: Toxic Spikes <3

Wickle: Cruel, is mean-looking. I liked it, that is all.

Paratroopa: overshadowed by the fact that its predecessor is everywhere

Magmortar: Surprisingly useful both competitively and in-game, and generally looks cool, so it's a good Pokemon even if it is a nuisance to fight all-around.

Flubbin: Golem isn’t really anything special, but I always thought he was cool. Dude’s a tank. Rock monsters are neat.

Natwaf: A solid Rock/Ground type. You either had to rely on this or Rhydon against Zapdos. A great teammate in my Mono-Ground Emerald run, taking down Flyers with ease. Even though it frequently gets outsped. And dies to a special water or grass. But I still love dat Slide/Quake combo of early gen.

Gen: I dunno why but this pokémon seems like a total bro to me. Maybe it's that I could totally see him rolling down a mountain to intercept a bullet for me or maybe it's just the fact that he's vaguely reminiscent of a turtle but he seems like a chill pal. I'd hang with a Golem!

Wickle: Part of my memory of this guy was when Ash got to learn that Rock > Fire. And the Rollout before Miltank. I'd fear this rollout more than the cow's one.

Stifled: Mr. Grenade is such a bro.

Preston: Gastly was insanely overpowered in Pokemon Stadium 2. You could breeze through Baby Cup (which uses only Level 5 Pokemon) with just Gastly. There were only like 40 different Pokémon to select from and Gastly would be a wildebeest and make everyone look like jabronis.

Stifled: Rick Gastly. Never gonna give you up…lol yes I am. Evolve into Haunter plz.

Aside from the fact that I had to identify and use the Sliph Scope EVERY TIME I encountered a Gastly in the Pokemon Tower? >_> Gastly is pretty cool. I wished you could catch wild Gengar in the Pokémon Tower.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. Still, that troll one in the anime brought us Venustoise, so major points for that.

Magmortar: What a lightweight, even with that…tooth, and having a physical tongue, and being able to punch people. Not to combat, though! Also great training fodder for special attackers in fourth gen games.

Magmortar: DynamicPunch, with that much power and No Guard, is a thing of beauty, and turned Machamp from a Pokemon I already liked a lot into a very strong contender for my favorite Fighting-type Pokemon and definitely one of my Monsters of Mass Destruction. It’s just so fun to toy around with. It has four arms, and they move fast, too. You think you can survive in the ring against one? Thought so.

Natwaf: Looks badass. Those arms. That head. No Guard + Dynamic Punch. Actually can take some hits. Muh Champ. Although the existence of female of the species for it's line is kinda... yeah.

Mana: The Incredible Hulk.

Raka: What a champ.

Stifled: Scott Steiner no longer has the largest arms in the world.

Preston: I always preferred Primeape as my go-to fighter. Primeape was in the TV show and it was a necessity to beat Brock back in Yellow. And to get Machamp? It suffered from the tormented task of trading your Pokémon in exchange of someone else’s to make it evolve.

Gen: You know... I imagine its entire line smells like sweat. But twice as many armpits = twice as much B.O.

Bane: Super dude bro activate! Do you even lift bra? Hell yeah he does, double what you can I bet.

Paratroopa: has two more arms than machoke, therefore it is better, math

Flubbin: Politoed? Who the f*** is Politoed? It’s all about that Poliwrath. Poliwrath is a cool dude guy. He will always be the champion of my heart. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/45/Tad_Poliwrath.png/200px-Tad_Poliwrath.png

Magmortar: Poliwrath is not the most memorable Gen 1 Pokemon, but it’s definitely a unique one. That typing just oozes coolness (I often have to be manually reminded it is now shared with a pony), and its balanced stat spread made it very odd among Fighters for a long time. It’s also a Fighter with access to a sleep move. Always awesome for those Focus Punches (which really hurt even off only 85 base attack before XY). It looks pissed off in basically every sprite it has ever had. It gives me the impression it’s angry about why people never consider it one of the best Pokemon in terms of just how much it stands out.

Wickle: The anger, the Fighting. I actually noticed him in Gen 2 thanks to Chuck and figured he'd become my second fighting type to use.

Preston: I wonder who the chief executive at Board 8 is. We need to declare one. Anyways. Poliwrath is a pretty good Pokémon minus the grouchy expression on it’s face. The scowl look on Poliwrath reminds me how Kirby always looks angry on box arts of Kirby games.

Raka: Angry Poliwhirl.

Bane: One look at this guy and you KNOW he means business. But forever I will hold a slight resentment to it as Chuck’s Poliwrath from G/S/C would always mess me up with Mind Reader and Surf as I always had Typhlosion. Boo Poliwrath.

Anagram: The exemplar of pokemon that are just bigger, angrier versions of their preevos.

Gen: Dark angry Poliwhirl. People slight Whirl for not being different enough from its FE, but that's silly. Wrath is the copycat.

Paratroopa: slightly fiercer looking poliwhirl good job

Anagram: One of the best designs in the series. It's probably viable to be in Smash, even, though it never will be.

Preston: The only Pokemon that could learn how to talk like a human in the anime. That being Meowth. I remember in the “Go West Young Meowth” episode that Meowth learned how to talk like an human simply by reciting “she sells seashells by the seashore” and Meowth has been able to talk like a human ever since. I loved Meowth’s personality in the show. He was a con artist, aristocrat, smart-aleck, funny, ladies man and even learned how to use the guitar. But at that same time when Meowth would act tough on the show, Meowth would show that he had a heart of gold from time to time.

<3 Meowth <3

Meowth for SSB5 please. If there was any other Pokemon from Gen 1 that needs to be in Smash? That spot should definitely go to Meowth.

Bane: Personality! So while most of my liking for him might come from the anime (such a good character especially once you know his backstory before Team Rocket), I love cats and his design is nice.

Stifled: Kitty! Also a vital member of Team Rocket.

Magmortar: I’ll always wonder what it’d be like if this thing were in Smash Bros. instead of Jigglypuff (playable, that is).

Gen: I feel like if it weren't for the anime this guy would be wholly unremarkable. Luckily anime Meowth is boss, but the species itself is... well wholly unremarkable.

Raka: Meowth! That's right! Also, pay day is a fun gimmick move.

Starfox: Ew talking cats.

Paratroopa: meowth dat's right

Sanity: His voice was so annoying on the show. He was kind of worthless too I guess.

Wizards: New Jersey accents never make anything better.

Wickle: Meanwhile... this Poke. If there's anything to frustrate me more... it's this worthless thing's popularity for being the most annoying Pokemon in the anime. I'd ask if he got dropped on his head and doesn't have a point of common sense... but that's how he got his ability to speak human after all, so already proven so.

Paratroopa: if a pokemon based on a japanese myth about a duck with a leek that shows up at peoples' houses so they can eat it is not your favorite pokemon, you need to re-evaluate your priorities

Magmortar: It’s a duck. With a stick. Is it awful? Yes. But it’s just so cool that you can’t just dump it in Badmon Land feat. Delibird and call it a day. It deserves respect. It also deserves an evolution. Turned into an entire three-stage line, actually

Bane: Such a weird Pokemon, and that’s why I like it. No evolution, which I like, making it more unique. And the fact that it carries and protects a leek is really adorable/awesome.

Natwaf: DUXDUXDUX. Where my Mega Farfetch'd at? It's weak and useless as all hell, but it's hilarious in that regard.

Sandshrew is alright.Sandshrew is a cute little rascal but there’s just something less striking about it that it leaves me to think that Sandshrew can rest easy at this position.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. A.J.'s Sandshrew is awesome though. Even got a cameo in Yellow!

Raka: I'm at loss for words here.

Magmortar: Yeah, not sure what to say about it. To me Sandshrew kind of defines generic. It’s just a mammal that looks like rock.

I love Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff is probably my 5th/6th best character in Brawl and I reckon it will stay that way in SSB4. I’m good at timing the Rest move and I love being able to pick up speed with the Rollout attack with sliding the analog stick, left and right. I mean come on. One guy even performed the Jigglypuff song on American Idol one time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4GdGSnhr_c

That alone puts Jigglypuff exactly where she belongs. At the top of my list at number five. Watch Commodore put Jigglypuff last place.

Anagram: As a kid, I just could not understand why it got into Smash.

Natwaf: 20 times 20 times man united 20 times 20 times I say 20 times 20 times man united playing football the Busby way

Stifled: I was confused about her being in Smash Bros. But I'm used to her. Plus she was fun in the anime.

Bane: Alright, it’s cute but who DOESN’T love how much of a little s*** it is on the anime? Amazing running gag and I would always smile when it appeared.

Magmortar: How it is still in Smash Bros. is beyond me, but hey, it is cool there. Without Smash Bros., though, it is probably a bottom 10 Gen 1 Pokemon. Yeah

Raka: It was good in the anime.

Paratroopa: mostly earns points for being fun to play in smash

Anagram: Moltres had a hard act to follow with Articuno and Zapdos, and it certainly failed.

Preston: I like Moltres. While not as much as Articuno or Zapdos? Moltres is still a mighty fine Pokémon. It was pretty useful in Super Smash Bros. Melee where if any opposing player comes in contact with Moltres? You are guaranteed a OHKO. Now if only Victory Road wasn’t hell to go through.

Bane: Fire bird which is cool but not as cool as Articuno (obviously)

Natwaf: Moltres always looked stupid to me. What a bad note to end the legendary bird trio on. Luckily, a MUCH better Phoenix will appear later. What a horrible movepool to boot. Fire/Flying is so damn redundant. That said, it will still **** you up. And I approve of it's hilariously simple Japanese name.

Raka: I also need to use this.

Magmortar: Being, by far, the most varied Electric type for a long time gives it big coolness points. It’s just a really cool Pokemon. It looks good, it’s got a very fitting cry, and of course it can hit things with a lot of things (which can be said for few other Electric-types; the number is greater now, but for a while, you were stuck with Electabuzz for a big movepool Electric).

Stifled: I love the part in Pokemon Snap when Electrode blows him up.

Preston: Electabuzz is a pretty cool Electric type. I do however have one problem with it. Electabuzz was a Red exclusive and Magmar was a Blue exclusive. Fair enough.But whenYellow came out. You know what is SUPPOSED to be the premium version of Pokémon? You couldn’t catch Electabuzz or Magmar in Yellow. Despite the fact version exclusive Pokémon like Oddish, Bellsprout, Growlithe and Vulpix can be found in Yellow.

Wickle: PUNCH PUNCH THUNDER PUNCH. I both like his model and don't. It's weird.

Magmortar: Hard to believe if you told someone who got into Pokemon in say Gen 5 or 6, but Tauros was once the king. It’s a pretty straightforward Pokemon, yet always strikes fear into things. I love bulls, too, and the design for this one is just sick to me. The color scheme, the tails, all good stuff. Hats Off to the Bull, indeed.

Wickle: I like this bull, would use again.

Natwaf: The KING of Normals back in RBY. You better get ready because that Body Slam is heading your way.

Paratroopa: still not convinced it actually exists in gen 1

Stifled: Ugh Safari Zone. Ugh. Once you finally catch him, he’s pretty hardcore though.

Raka: I want one.

Gen: I dunno, it's alright. It's a bull with three tails and a ball on its head. He would be cooler if he were red or something. Also I really wish the character system was revamped so I could name one Guillermo del.

Bane: A bull with 3 tails. Pretty straightforward and angry. But I did like Ash’s Tauros’.

Preston: I don’t really like Tauros. I don’t see anything exuberant or cool in cattle, buffalo or bull or whatever Tauros is supposed to resemble, so somewhat screw Tauros. It’s presumably better than something say like Miltank but that’s not saying much.

Natwaf: I LOVE this thing. So damn awesome in-game and competitively. Sure, Psychic STAB sucks defensively AND offensively, but it's got a plethora of moves to more than compensate. Oddly enough, it wasn't too important in my Mono-Water team in HG. It still kicks ass, but not when my team is in need. Misty's was annoying if you don't resist water, but screw that, it's got just great.

Raka: Simply brilliant, with really fine type coverage.

Anagram: Just a great design all around

Stifled: Pure soulless killing power. Pretty too.

Magmortar: Would probably be even harder if not for that annoying fight against Misty. Something OU for five generations deserves some credit. Always enjoyed what you can do with this thing. It’s a rapid spinner, but until Aegislash came in to the equation, good luck finding a Ghost that does not care about Starmie.

Bane: Surprisingly nice to have in battle, it being purple and with the red jewel makes it stand out and look awesome. And how it looks like it has the combination of 2 Staryu’s turned around, really cool.

Preston: I remember the hilarious dubbing errors 4Kids would make with the Pokémon anime. For instance? In “Princess vs Princess” Misty said she would use her Starmie in the tournament but then in a later scene she calls out Staryu from her Pokéball. Anyways. I always liked Staryu and Starmie. Definitely the most fashionable of the Pokémon of the original 150 without looking like stiff, plastic mannequins we had like Tangela and Jynx.

Speaking of Ash’s, looking at the Bulbapedia entry and found this: “After Pidgeot defeated Fearow, Pidgeot left Ash's party to watch over a local flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Ash promised to return for it someday, but so far he has not kept that promise.” That makes me laugh for some reason, just the way it’s phrased. “So far he has not kept that promise”.

Magmortar: It has DRILLS for ARMS. I am ****ing terrified of bees/wasps in real life, and all I have to say is, HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TOP THAT. You don’t. That alone makes me keep it on Firered teams until at least Celadon. Also, they need to put it or Unown back in Smash Bros.

Stifled: A godsend in Pokemon Conquest.

Natwaf: Drills for arms. Your argument is invalid. That said, it still sucks to use, and I dropped it from my Mono-Poison as soon as I had more than 6 Poison types. Still not sure why only Beedrill is in Conquest and not the rest of its' line. Excited about it's Mega though!

Raka: Cool to look at.

Starfox: The middies can be hit-or-miss, but I thought they did a really good job with Charmeleon. Never understood why it got so much flak.

Bane: A lot of middle evolution starters look awkward, but Charmeleon escapes it. And I like his darker red-orange color. Blood orange I guess. Bulbapedia says crimson. Whatever.

Stifled: No moves. So cool looking though.

Drak: eevee : flareon :: wings : hot wings

Bane: Not really good battle-wise, I just love its design. The fur around its neck really makes it for me.

Starfox: Another case where I don’t really understand the flak it gets. I mean yeah, it’s pretty much useless in battle, but visually it’s undeniably more appealing than Leafeon, or at the very least infinitely less awful than that flesh-ribboned monstrosity.

Gen: Worst. Eevee. Ever.

Natwaf: Pretty darn useful in my Mono-Fire team in X. And while I for one find "Flareon has no moves!" to be utterly hilarious, Flare Blitz is just rad. Still a damn Eeveelution.

Raka: NU tier.

Preston: While not as cool as Vaporeon or Jolteon? Flareon’s still a pretty decent Pokémon. It’s cute and at least it doesn’t make me want to pour flame retardant all over it like other Fire Pokemon like Magmar and Arcanine. HA HA HA (it wanted me to censor retardant, by the way >_>)

Paratroopa: basically eevee but red and fluffier

Natwaf: Truth be told... he wasn't all that useful in my Mono-Poison team in LeafGreen. But man oh man I love using this thing online, as well as it's Mega. The Growth buff was awesome, and the Mega is just a godsend. And it has a Raflesia (of... sorts.) on it's back. Hell yeah!

Flubbin: Not as cool as Blastoise or Charizard, but still great in its own right.

Paratroopa: best starter f*** all y'all for ranking charizard and blastoise higher (I already know you did, you're wrong)

Preston: How I was able to do 150 (mostly) well constructive write-ups regarding various Pokémon in a few days’ worth of time I’ll never know. I give Venusaur credit because it’s color scheme actually works (red flower, green leaves, blue skin). Very akin to what an actual animal should look like. I like Venusaur and I don’t mean to be self-centered here but…

Squirtle > Charmander > Bulbasaur

All three of them are great though.

Magmortar: Mega Venusaur makes a nice tank, and it’s always been a very balanced Pokemon

Bane: I like the flower it has, but is pretty ugly. Pretty strong though.

Gen: I do not appreciate that they turned my beautiful Ivysaur into a warty, gouty, fugly, lazy, fatty frogface sonuva b****, and unlike with my Blastoise I could not look past the surface to find the beauty within. I gave her an Everstone and let one of her sons evolve fully for the pokedex entry. I am shallow.

Bane: Just look at this big goof! The final evolution of the first dragon line in the series, he’s adorable but badass at the same time. I love his not-typical orange color, and how he’s so different from Dratini and Dragonair. It’s like Game Freak thought “Alright we’ll get them prepared for this huge reptilian-like creature and- Psych!” It’s also said be to highly intelligent, super friendly, and even saves drowning people! He’s perfect.

Starfox: I love Barney the Dragonsaur, f*** all y’all hatahs! But yeah, I actually like his design. Plus he has a fairly diverse movepool, finally got a useful ability, and still manages to look fairly badass in the anime (plus conquest’s art doing him wonders).

Paratroopa: only slightly less threatening than barney the dinosaur, but whatever I like cute derpy dragons

Natwaf: Fatass. And doesn't really standout as a Pseudo... UNTIL MULTI ****ING SCALE! It's a staple on many of my teams thanks to that. Had great success using it on my Pseudo-Legendary team I used in PWT. Oh, and it has that Wrap-trap strategy in RBY, but I've never used nor have ever been in trouble facing one.

Stifled: Barney the Dinosaur in dragon form that hits like a truck!

Raka: Barney the Orange, Lovable Dinosaur.

Preston: Dragonite was pretty cool in the anime and generally speaking? That’s all I have to say here.

Magmortar: Once got circles ran around it by Salamence. Now it runs circles around Salamence. And it still looks like Barney.

Gen: F-A-T-T-Y you ain't got no alibi you fatty! No but the real reason is because I wanted a DRAGON not a winged teddy bear. Only one real Dragon type line in the game and the final evo gets out-draked by imposter Charizard. Never understood that.

Drak: way to ruin a great evolution line with a terrible final form.

Raka: Oooo (*A*) prettiest Gen 1 Pokemon.

Gen: So sleek and elegant and its design exudes an air of magic. It's pretty much everything an oriental dragon should be.

Bane: Another elegant Pokemon, little additions really add to its appeal. The horn on its head, the little wings on the sides, the orb on its neck. And the nice shade of blue. Just an all around pleasant Pokemon

Natwaf: Majestic NFE trash. Seriously. Look at the slim, sexy design. So much better than it's end product.

Preston: Fun Fact: Footage of Dragonair is shown in the Poke‘Rap despite the fact, the footage of where that episode came from never aired overseas.

Stifled: It's a tail. I don’t exactly dislike Dragonair, but it doesn’t strike me as being a dragon.

Bane: Doesn’t he just live everyone’s dream/fantasy? Being able to just sleep and eat without a care in the world. And he’s probably super cushion-y.

Preston: Snorlax is a pretty cool Pokemon. The only drawback to Snorlax is that I didn’t like the tedious backtracking needed to go from Celadon City to get Officer Jenny a water bottle. Then conquering the Pokémon Tower to get the Pokémon Flute to wake up Snorlax and then… Okay I can’t exactly pinpoint what would happen in the game regarding Snorlax but I’m sure you all ladies and gentlemen can catch my drift and know what I mean. Snorlax was also one of the most dependable Pokémon to use in Super Smash Bros. 64. So yay. :) I loved Snorlax’s rattling earthquake move in SSB64 as he gets super big and takes up nearly the entire screen.

Magmortar: It’s a great balanced attacker, especially in-game as it learns seemingly every TM. It’s fast enough to do its job and it is purple. It was blessed with Megahorn. Sheer Force just lets it go ham on you. It’s purple, and purple is amazing. Nidoking is not something you want to mess around with. I have used this thing too many times to count, really.

Gen: All hail the one true King. Kingler and Seaking can go f*** themselves.

Bane: Alright, Nidoking obviously looks awesome but I have a personal connection in the form of almost always using it as my main in Pokemon Yellow. As Pikachu is hardly effective for Brock’s Gym, the first time I played I went out in search of other Pokemon to use. And I stumbled across Nidoran M. It’s all history from there as every playthrough from then on I used the Nidoran M line.

Gen: I'm not going to pretend my favorite is the best pokemon of all time or God's gift to gaming or anything of the sort because frankly that attitude annoys me; I just love most everything about it from its usability and versatility to its design.

Starfox: It’s a dog, so I (almost) automatically love it. Throw in it being a fire type, give it a fair amount of interesting moves (loved it having Extremespeed in Gen II, and despite the fact that it’s not the most useful, I love the move Outrage, so I was really glad Arcanine could learn it by level up in B2W2). Its design is great, it manages to be cute while also being extremely badass. Absolutely love this thing. It was a pretty tough choice between him and my #1.

Stifled: Badass electric bird? Yes plz.

Preston: I got a Zapdos action figure for my 10th Birthday back in 4th Grade. That was back in 2003. I’m only able to remember that because that was the only good Birthday present I got that year. I could call out a flaw to notion towards Zapdos but we are in the Top 15 now. It’s easy to forgive the negatives and focus on the positives instead.

Magmortar: Pretty cool looking and insanely useful electric bird. Zapdos is one of the definitions of a well-designed Pokemon in every sense of the word (especially when it comes to legendaries)

Raka: Worse than the two other birds.

Paratroopa: kind of not as good in retrospect as I thought it was, sort of weird and ugly, still a bird though

Bane: Cool looking but always my least favorite legendary bird. Just looks mean.

Gen: I don't like him very much because he looks painful. I wouldn't want to pet him and I'm pretty sure he would peck a human's eyes out. Jolteon also looks painful but he gets bonus points cuz canine.

Karo: Zapdos, the eye gouging pokemon. This pokemon is infamously diffcult to raise due to the fact that it has a habit of accidentally poking out the eyes of its trainer.

Bane: I never really give Bulbasaur much notice, but he’s pretty legit. Pretty cute and I like the pod on his back.

Stifled: Easy mode for RBY. Never picked him or Squirtle first, but still cool dudes. I also enjoyed how snarky he was in the anime.

Preston: I have an amazing FACTOID to tell all of you ladies and gentlemen. Did you know Bulbasaur is the number one Pokémon in the Pokédex? Isn’t that amazing? ^_^ Anyways. Bulbasaur is cool but I much prefer Charmander and Squirtle myself. I wonder how well Bulbasaur would do in a Character Battle. Would Bulbasaur even get past the preliminary round? Which reminds me. We seriously need to have a “back to basics” Character Battle. 64 characters, 8 x 8 format, the only gimmick being that there is a Loser’s Bracket. Who’s in? Also? Screw you Gatarix for comparing me to Se7enthrust. >_> Also? You people need to understand that Bulbasaur is not water soluble. I repeat. Bulbasaur is not water soluble.

Paratroopa: I was the only kid in school who picked bulbasaur, I had good taste

Gen: I like how it starts out as the best starter for the first portion of the game but becomes the least useful by the time you reach the Elite Four and Legendaries and junk. Ha, sure showed them what looked for Easy Mode! That said he's actually my favorite designed starter from this generation. He's simple, cute, and hard to identify. Is it a toad, a dinosaur, a bit of both? Whatever it is I like it, but *gasp* design isn't everything to me so it loses some points for usefulness and that thing it ultimately evolves into poor guy.

Magmortar: Most of you are probably going to want my head for this, but simply put, Bulbasaur has never been a big favorite of mine. It’s just alright in terms of everything. It’s not useful and it’s not cute enough to me.

Magmortar: One of Pokemon’s oldest and to this day among most extreme glass cannons–Alakazam can shatter your skull just with its brain, but it sure as Hell can’t take one. Improbably intelligent, with an IQ of 5000, and improbably fancy, with a mustache even I envy. And it’s just so cool.

This thing is the cornerstone of my Maison team, it's Intimidate + option to reduce weakness to pull off a dragon dance is key to many a battle. Where mah Crunch at though. Bite isn't cutting it.

Anagram: Just fantastic. Who doesn't love Gyarados?

Raka: Scary, scaly dragon(not).

Stifled: I think even Splash would hurt now.

Bane: Fun fact: He was the first Pokemon I ever really saw. I went to McDonald’s when I was very young and Pokemon was the toy for the Happy Meal. I got my meal to see a Pokeball, and when I opened that a little plush Gyarados came out. Got me to start wanting to watch and play the series. He’ll always hold a place in my heart.

Gen: Really SHOULD be Skulkraken

Magmortar: Bulky SOAB coming from a waste of 500 dollars that generally only requires one good turn and then proceeds to destroy your entire team. Fancy. The thing about Gyarados not being a Dragon-type to me is simple: do you honestly want to deal with a Dragon-type Gyarados? I don’t!

Paratroopa: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk6iqqYVPt1qh5gxd.png

Preston: I’ll be honest. I never had the patience and assertiveness to raise a Magikarp all the way to Level 20. And when you could get a Red Gyarados in G/S/C why bother? It was at a very late stage in the game (somewhere I think before you got the seventh badge?) where you didn’t want to bother raising it. Still Gyarados is a very powerful Pokémon despite it’s typing (Water/Flying) and it’s good for anyone’s party but I’ve come across better Water types and it’s a bit too sinister looking for my taste. 0_0 Overall Gyarados is a good Pokémon.

Red: I dont quite like the design as much as Vulpix, I dont know, it looks just a little more plain. Still one of the better Pokemon of the generation.

Magmortar: This fox is just so darned pretty, and HypnoPlot was a fun thing to use on people back in Battle Revolution random. Ninetales was the MVP of that all Fire-type team I made for that game sometimes. Curses are nothing to me, Ninetales is just a great Pokemon.

Raka: I really like its…mane?

Gen: It's kind of weird how certain pokémon are immune to hate, but this is one where I don't really mind that being the case.

Preston: Eat your heart out Furries. Yes I like Ninetales. Normally Pokemon that are initially made only for furries in mind has resulted in some horrible Pokemon like Lopunny but that’s not the case here with Ninetales. I like Ninetales.It’s simple and majestic in design, the solid white base/skin color is perfect and you can thank Naruto for coming into existence purely because of Ninetales. Also? Ninetales looks like the perfect Pokémon that I can hitch a ride with cruising through the plains and grass without a care in the world. (Preston, seriously, why did you think GameFAQs would be able to support wingdings?)

Anagram: Definitely the most overrated Gen 1 pokemon. People act like this is a really great pokemon, when it's merely pretty good.

It’s always been a strong Pokemon (to give you an idea, in Gen 1, it was a POISON-TYPE that was still OU, and before Gen 4 it had no really usable STAB) and one with an endless bag of tricks up its sleeve. You see that smug grin on its face? That’s because he knows that you don’t know what the ‘Gar is packing. It could be anything. Using it is just so fun, because you never know what kind of chaos it can cause.

Raka: Mischievously great.

Bane: The most evil smile in the franchise, complete with red eyes and a sinister purple color. Cheshire Cat in Pokemon form? I think so.

Jolteon’s grown on me a lot over the years. I love that extreme speed stat and if you ask me it basically defines the ideal Electric type: something that quickly hits fish and birds something awful.

Bane: I love using Blastoise in battle. He has a flawless design,simple but effective, and comes from Squirtle. What else could you ask for?

Flubbin: B-B-BACK CANNONS! I am in never-ending awe of Blastoise’s wonderful cannons, and you should be too.

Preston: I have the most boring Top 10 ever. Half of my top ten consists of Pokémon that were playable in at least one Smash game. (Pikachu, Charizard, Squirtle, Jiggs and Mewtwo) Butterfree playing an infamous role in the anime, Articuno is a legendary and of course Squirtle and Charmander. The two classic starters. Again? I always preferred Blastoise myself but both Charizard and Blastoise are incredible.

Sanity: A badass turtle with canons on his back. I like it. He is what got me into the games.

Starfox: Charmander was my first starter, and I have soooo many good memories with this line. Like managing to defeat Misty with just Charmeleon but sheer dumb luck when I first played Red version, and after it evolved into Charizard, he wasn’t just a staple on my team, he was practically the entirety of my team. I love his design. It’s somewhat simple, but I think that’s part of why I like it so much. The only grievance I have is that he wasn’t a dragon type, but Mega Charizard X fixed that. And speaking of that, the best mega by far. Love this guy so much.

I was also happy that Charizard managed to defeat Borelda in the Character Battle of 2013 in that triple threat Nintendo match-up with Charizard barely scrapping up the win against Borelda and DK. Princess Zelda is a c*** Anyways. If Charizard ends up winning this whole thing? I won’t mind.

Natwaf: My favorite part about Charizard is how insanely touchy it's fans are. Like the dragon all you want man, it's mediocre in battle. It got two Megas, both of which are neat. Fire/Flying is still redundant, but hey it has Drought. And we know how great Fire/Dragon is (watch out for Azumarill). A great teammate in Yellow and X's Mono-Fire.

Magmortar: A generally nice Pokemon…when Stealth Rocks aren’t around (and as its Mega Evolutions now show, even then…) who practically stole the anime and made a fair number of nice appearances in Smash Bros. But really, it’s freaking Charizard. What hasn’t been said about this guy before?

Bane: Along with Pikachu, a mainstay Pokemon. Perfect imagery of a fire dragon (without being a dragon), it has everything when you think of “cool”. Plus I loved Ash’s Charizard and how much it didn’t give a f***. So nice.

Sanity: As awesome as dragons are, Charizard is a little too "cartoony" to be badass. He's still cool.

Paratroopa: all right you're a scary fire dragon do you want a medal

Gen: He's not God's gift to gaming or anything, but he's pretty cool. Especially his Mega evolutions. Why am I not surprised he gets special treatment and gets two?

Anagram: I put it at #1 and I still think I underrated it.

Preston: My number one favorite and always will be. Even if it was a pain in the arse to catch Articuno at the Seafoam Islands? I didn’t care. I love Articuno. If Pokémon was real? I would love to tame one. A worthy winner in my opinion.

Poke: Beautiful ice bird

Bane: Another Pokemon that excels in elegance, I love that it’s an Ice type which is probably one of my favorite types for Pokemon Designs. It just stands out from Zapdos and Moltres, I could picture them fighting and Articuno just saying “I’m too good for this s***” and watches, knowing its superiority.

Gen: Seems like it's B8's sweetheart because it's the one OG pokemon that dodges all the haters. Zard, Stoise, Gengar, Mewtwo, Arcanine... all have their fair share of detractors but not Cuno. Is it weird of me to ponder why this is when I've ranked it 17th?

Paratroopa: I cannot lie about my love of fancy birds, I am really into fancy birds

Stifled: So pretty! While it’s my least favorite of the Legendary Birds, all three are excellent.

Starfox: Hell, I like Articuno… but the love it gets here still kinda baffles me.

Raka: Better than the two other birds.

Magmortar: That typing at least now gets STAB Hurricane, but oh god, is it bad. I think that typing by itself makes Articuno Regigigas’ only real competition for the title of “worst legendary ever”. Actually, that’s being nice to Regigigas. Articuno’s sort of pretty!”

Tennis: I ranked all 3 legendary birds fairly low. I don't really like how similar they are to each other and the fact that they are already level 50 when you get them.

Natwaf: The one. The only. The most powerful pokemon ever, RBY Mewtwo (lol Special stat. What the **** were they thinking). Badass, cool, and undeniably powerful, it's the best pokemon of Gen I

Magmortar: The classic ‘god’ of Pokemon (Arceus may be God but pssst, can that deer make a claim to having been the most broken Pokemon ever?), with fantastic time in the anime and a sorely missed spot in Smash Bros.. It has this movepool that’s probably too large, and stats that to-this-day are probably too good. It got a signature move close to fifteen years after its debut, which allows it to beat ****ing Chansey sometimes. He looks like Frieza. It’s Mewtwo, and to me, he’s always going to be top…kitten.

Anagram: It's complicated, but it should be, because it's manmade and built to destroy. It looks exactly like it should look.

Sanity: Too amazing in the actual game to rank any lower than this.

Preston: Here’s a picture of my Mewtwo plushie.

WhiskeyNick doesn’t like for whatever reason. XD But yes Mewtwo is amazing. Mewtwo is the ruler of all Pokémon and let’s be honest here. Mewtwo was the only reason why you all went to see The Pokemon Movie back in 1999. Nowadays the Pokémon movies are shelved out straight to the DVD bargain bin.Mewtwo is treasured and loved by many activists of Pokémon and I can only hope Board 8 feels the same way.

Tennis: I used to be annoyed that it was so much stronger than any other Pokemon, but as time passed I've come to respect and admire its power and mystique. Fighting/catching it in the Unknown Dungeon is the culmination of my favorite video game of all time.

Bane: One look at this guy and you know you’re in for it. Already the ultimate end-game catch, Mewtwo Strikes Back adds a history to him that proves he’s the ultimate badass. Tragically misunderstood and abused. Perfect.

Stifled: Dat movie. Also I want him back in Smash.

Raka: Bad-ass but overrated.

Gen: I have never liked him near as much as Mew. Even after the movie. I think those weird neck wires might be why. Giving him a Mega Evo that looks more like the pokemon he allegedly was cloned from was a smart move. Then they made a monkey-toed one for some reason.

Karo: hated this guy so much back when I first played gen 1. I detested the whole concept of one pokemon being so absurdly more powerful than all the others.

Paratroopa: I'm going to let first place slip from him just like Gerrard let the title slip from Liverpool.

Bane: Probably my 2nd favorite starter in the series, a perfect design. Super cute but can still look cool, his episode in the anime also makes him even better.

Raka: Best Gen 1 base starter.

Preston: No joke. The Squirtle Squad always became a reoccurring gag me and my dad (Richard Condra) would reenact in the anime.

Gen: Squirt!

Stifled: I've always liked Squirtle but Brawl got him higher.

Natwaf: Wore Kamina glasses before Kamina. **********er deserves to be in the top 30. And it's so gosh darn adorable. Still NFE Trash.

Magmortar: Of the Pokemon Trainer Pokemon, it’s easily the most fun to play as. And it’s just adorable. Squirrel tail, man!

Paratroopa: you'd think I'd have more to say about squirtle but I don't
