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 starfox2245 originally made a submissions topics where B8 users submit in rankings of his/her own taste in G/S/C Pokemon to starfox2245 via e-mail and averages out the rankings in Excel.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 SHIT. It’s not even cute. It looks fucking terrifying. However, Igglybuff has one and ONLY ONE thing that saves it. It isn’t in the fucking 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 FACE ! I can't even''

Goa: If you hate girls pampering tiny dogs in 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 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 shit. 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.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: Porygons are dumb.

<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.

<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...

<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.

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.

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.

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''I see it's face and appearance and I can't help but smile. True story: I was frustrated looking for the Trevenant horde containing Sudowoodo for an hour or two.

I played blind, and, while ten year-old me did know the meaning of the prefix "pseudo", she was also somehow still dumb enough to not connect the dots there so I of course got trolled. Ah memories... Anyway this guy is solid as a Rock type found fairly early in the game. It's just too bad you can't get him in time for Whitney IIRC.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''I feel like this was only created to troll unsuspecting children into using fire types against it. It worked, though. Brilliant name though.''

When I got to a Sudowoodo and used fire, and it didn’t work, I thought, “Wow, this thing’s SpDef must be through the roof!” So I caught it and was sorely disappointed. I did the exact same thing with Shuckle, thinking it was a water-type.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''You'd think they would have at least come up with a decent idea to serve as this generation's Snorlax, but it's just kind of a tree. Made out of rock. With a REALLY silly name that I make fun of all the time.''

Its anime voice is beyond adorable- even though I hate Ash's Bayleef with a passion even I have to admit it SOUNDS cute- and it looks more appealing than the pear with legs or it's god awful derpy Tropius wannabe final form.

She also apparantly lets other Pokemon as well as humans suck on her udders, which is so weird to imagine in a kids game, considering that many Pokemon tend to have some humanoid characteristics (Miltank walks like a human and not a cow). She is rule 34 without needing any extra work. Like there are pictures out there of Miltank, not even with a vag, and I feel like I'd get modded just posting them. She's that Rule 34 ready.

I really appreciated that, caught a Miltank and it became the star of my gen 2 run. So thank you Whitney and Miltank for making Pokemon the game I love most instead of just some game.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''I know a lot of people are gonna hate on it because they got steamrolled by Whitney's hellspawn, but not me. I admired its strength and sought to raise my own. It did not disappoint. In addition to possessing an incredible amount of strength belying its innocuous appearance, Miltank provides support in the form of Moo Moo Milk (btw I love saying that phrase... Moo Moo Milk Moo Moo Milk Moo Moo Milk). *ahem* T*tty sprinkles. Anyway Miltank is a wonderful ally to have and a deadly enemy to face.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''pokemon has never done a proper scorpion pokemon. There is the flying scorpion and the ogrescorp. The animal with crab claws and a sting in its tail wasn’t exotic enough for pokemon, had to give it wings and shreks''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''Did you know this thing can't learn Earthquake back in Gen II? Eesh. At least it looks cooler than Sneasel. But man is it an underwhelming reward for beating a team of Mewtwo, Lugia, and Ho-Oh''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: One of the coolest Gen II designs mixed with an awesome typing.

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: I can't be the only one confused by the fact that it's a purple Pokémon with fangs that the Pokédex    'literally says injects people with poison, that starts with Poison Sting... and it's Ground/Flying. Cool design, but confusing Pokémon. At least it evolves into something awesome (if similarly weirdly typed, looking at both of their rather odd movepools).

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: being ground/flying type, gligar explores deep themes about good and evil, and the duality that exists within all living beings, and also when you always have weird scorpion claws for hands and sometimes they're not good at grabbing things and life is hard

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''I mean it looks cool, and it is REALLY good for an NFE, but it’s such a damn contradiction. How can it be Ground AND Flying? Some of its Pokedex descriptions imply a Poison-type anyway. Also I don’t think there’s a single thing about it I like that I don’t like more about Gliscor (actually one thing – Gligar has a better shiny).''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: I mean… okay.

<p class="MsoNormal">Mana: ''When GSC came out and a few years after, I'd probably rank Gligar a lot higher. It's a pink bat scorpion! Unfortunately, Ground/Flying hurts my brain and it just... there was nothing to it outside the design. I had Silver so I never really had one, but when I got it traded to me, I was just disappointed. It does learn some cool moves in later gens, but first impresssions didn't mean expectations. And it's one of two Pokemon I always, always, always forget and drive me crazy when I've got 98/100.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''I don't really like Gligar. I get the implantation that Gligar looks more like a scorpion than a bat. I mean look at it's tail. Also? Please keep your tongue inside your mouth at all times please.'' <h2 class="MsoNormal">'''27. Murkrow'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''Forget Mewtwo and Mew. This guy reigns supreme over all other Psychic types. He looks cool. His stats are off the charts. His movepool is excellent. Hail to the king!''

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: ''Not as good as Slowpoke or Slowbro, but he's still in the Slow family, and therefore still awesome. One of its Pokedex entries is hilarious: "Every time it yawns, Shellder injects more poison into it. The poison makes it more intelligent." Like, he's so stupid that being poisoned makes him smarter somehow. I love it. What a carefree badass.''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: I could use pants.

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''I’d like it more without the collar, but it’s still pretty much exactly as good as Slowbro. Also, it needs pants.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: ''I'd let a Shelder bite my head too if I became a genius. Also he's what, the third Pokemon ever scene that has the potential to talk?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''- He could use pants. Okay okay serious writeup. Gen II introduced held item evolutions and the King's Rock evolutions in particular were pretty damn badass. I mean Slowking takes a line I just kinda liked and made it into something I gave two f***s about. And okay I liked the movie. More on that later, in the writeup of a pokémon certain to be ranked higher.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: Everyone is going to say ‘He could use pants’ but personally I prefer my slowkings to freeball it

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''Truly deserves the title of king. A nice design that isn't going for too much.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''Really useful since I got it early in HG. Psychic still sucks as a STAB. I prefer the King to the Bro, shame Bro got the Mega and King got the shaft.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''He's Slowbro with a Shellder of Knowledge on his head. That literally poisons him with intelligence. I'll buy that for a dollar.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: I will always like him for his role in Pokemon 2000 despite that sucking.

<p class="MsoNormal">Poke: "I could use pants" is the single greatest line uttered in cinematic history.

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''What? Oh Slowking. I guess Slowking is okay. It's better than Slowpoke and Slowbro given that Slowking could talk back in Pokemon 2000 which admittedly I thought was pretty cool. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">The reason why I don't really like Slowpoke is continuity errors. In "The Evolution Solution" episode of the anime, it was proclaimed that Slowpoke could only evolve if a Shellder bit it's tail. This is worth noting as in Pokemon Snap when playing through "The River" level if you lure Slowpoke with apples to one spot in the level, Shellder can bite Slowpoke and it will evolve into Slowbro. Strange isn't it?

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''"Every time it yawns, Shellder injects more poison into it. The poison makes it more intelligent." what the ****''

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: some 14 or so years later, mega slowbro would acquire the pants that slowking always wanted, except instead of pants it's just a giant cloyster eating his ass

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''I don't like its design. Ughhh belch.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: Yeah, it might be lazy, and it’s definitely worse than Slowbro (Slowbro is funny, and it’s better in battle, especially with Calm Mind), but it’s an okay Pokemon.

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: ''I don't like how it becomes smart yet still looks dumb. Being stupid was also one of the things that made Slowpoke and Slowbro kind of entertaining and fun. Still, I wish those Shellders were available IRL because God knows there are way too many idiots that could use having one bite their heads.'' <h2 class="MsoNormal">'''24. Donphan'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Bane: ''Weird right? A middle starter in the top 10, but of course it part of the Typhlosion line. Super cute but cool at the same time, he’s one of the best designed middle starters in all the generations.''

He’s a great combination of cool and cute, he introduced me to flame wheel, which I thought looked really cool in Stadium and Colosseum, and he’s part of my favorite overall Pokemon line.

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''It's the only part of the Cyndaquil line that actually looks like an actual living creature for me, and for that reason it's the only one in the line that I really like. Really awesome design for a middie, a smaller version of this really should have been what Cyndaquil looked like, rather than that weird hovering (SSBM didn't help) blob thing.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: It's like someone tried to find a combination of Cyndaquil and Typhlosion and they made this.

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Starter middle forms are usually not that great, but for this one they smartly just basically interpolated between the first and last forms. Which means it's still a fiery badger.''

Nope. It did get a bit stronger and more confident but ultimately that arc would not come about until Sinnoh with a much cooler fire starter.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''So many fond memories of cruising through Silver with this guy. I’d start with him in every game if I could. I love battling with him, especially now that he gets eruption, that can cause so much havoc (especially with the Smeargle setup). His design is really badass, and his entire line is well-designed… I just love this guy. I didn’t think anything was ever going to usurp him as my overall favorite, but alas… still top of Gen II though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Bane: ''My favorite Pokemon period, out of all 700+. He’s been through thick and thin with all my playthroughs of SIlver and Crystal, I always loved giving him Iron Tail and seeing him wreck (although now that’s not possible). He looks amazing, as badgers are cool but add fire to the back and neck of one and you got one badass dude. There’s nothing more I can say about how amazing he is.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Flubbin: ''My Typhlosion and I used to tear s*** up. I could always count on him. By far one of my favorite starters. Lots of good memories with this guy right here.''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: ''Cyndaquil was my first choice going through the game, which actually turned out to be a pretty great fit, considering the scarce and sh*tty options for Fire Gen 2 gave us. It also led to one of the most perplexing moments for me as a kid when level 31 was reached, and I had the opportunity to teach it Flame Wheel. It had the same PP as Ember, so I was a little skeptical to how useful it would be. When it turned out to be 150% the damage of Ember, I was even more confused, but just accepted the fact that the people who made the game wanted me to be happy and went about PP Up'ing the hell out of it up to 40 so I would never run out of Fire moves ever again. Ah, those were simpler times.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: My first starter in GSC, not very impressive battle wise but I liked it the best out of the three (even if Feraligatr is probably better)

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''Still cute, but with an awesome attitude. Fiery manes are always a plus.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''For me, he gets outshined a bit by Entei as far as the game’s Fire types go. But Typh is still pretty cool. Eruption wrecks serious face.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka:'' I'm pretty sure I used one. Not the greatest of starters but it's like a brilliant diamond of Gen 2. Maddening agony.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: I don't know why a rat can explode with the force of a Volcano, but Typhlosion is pretty awesome.

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Typhoon + explosion. ‘nuff said. It and #12 on my list are basically interchangeable.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''A little under-designed, but it works. It's more fun when it animates, although its fire effect in X/Y is kinda weird looking.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: Typhlosion is the only final form of the Fire starter Pokémon that does not have a secondary type.

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''CHOICE-Scarf Eruption! YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!! So why is this higher than Entei, despite being a Charizard Base Stat copycat? I love how it looks, and I would LOVE to have it as a partner in Maison. Sadly, it's not to be.''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Nawtaf’s Nicknames: Cyndaquil-Quilava-Typhlosion''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Male: Sonic Female: Amy, Sally  Gen: On a given day I can see myself ranking Typh up to maybe five spots higher but I dunno he can't really touch Quilava and I can't really say why. Typh is DEFINITELY in the upper echelon of final starter evolutions but he kind of lacks the wow factor that my favorites hold for me. You know... I think it's that he's too "safe" for an FE. He's not super ugly but he's also not super special. Still he's serviceable enough and while I feel he's not as versatile as Gatr he's great in game too.''

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''A fully evolved starter should really be higher than this. It's really just kind of forgettable.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Wickle: ''He will forever have Flamethrower thanks to the latest Godzilla movie. Even if just in my heart.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: You know your gen has crap starters when this is the best out of all of them.

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: ''While I like Typhlosion, it doesn't really have any selling point or peculiarity that keeps me interested in it beyond the exploding flames on its back. Pretty standard both as a design and as a Fire starter for me.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: way too much an amorphous blob of a mammal to really be as cool as it could be

<p class="MsoNormal">Ermine: ''Badass bird poke with a great design. Loved using this guy competitively, he pulled through for me so many times.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: The sole fact that its feathers can be used as swords make Skarmory an A+ pokémon.

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''Awesome tank. One of the most intimidating Pokemon around. Unlike Chansey, it is matched with a truly great design. Unfortunately one of the few designs they completely messed up in XY.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Steel bird looks amazing and is one of the most consistently strong Pokemon ever. Good stuff.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''The entire reason I like this Pokémon is the idea of how badass someone would look flying on its back. It's definitely not my favorite Steel type (as I think it might be others'), but it's still very good.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''I’m halfway in between liking and disliking this thing. But it’s Gen 2, so it easily makes the top half of the list.''

I don't know, just, a twitch I guess''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Pretty scary-looking metal bird. I know it's a pain in the ass competitively, but eh, never played that.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Drak: ''I like the idea of this guy, but I can't like the execution. it's too bad; mecha-bird could've been pretty sweet.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: It was supposed to be the physical counterpart of mantine but it pretty much left its specially defensive counterpart in the dust now didn’t it

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''Lol why is this mess everywhere in the competitive scene? Not that I care, since I don't swing that way. But still, an annoyance to the world at large.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''DUDE LOOK AT THIS COLOR. Aww yes. The days of when I was only 7 years old and playing Pokemon Gold with my Feraligatr beside me without a care in the world. Would be #1 if it wasn't for the fact I still have no idea how to spell Feraligatr's name right without having to look it up, time and time again''

<p class="MsoNormal">Wickle: ''What? Mah gatr grew strong. So glad Physical Water attacks actually became a thing though''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: ''I feel like, had I chosen Feraligatr my first time through, Feraligatr could've been even higher, because the cute little croc eventually evolves into quite the beast. On top of that, your rival would then be stuck with the monstrosity that is Meganium, and that's always a nice bonus''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''The highest of the worst (hmm…. Well, maybe 2nd worst) starter batch ever, Feraligatr is just cool. I still want my Sheer Force Gatr though. Unfortuantely, it kind of trailed off in my HG run, despite Waterfall and Normal having great coverage. Still better than the rest of the losers''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: It only got this high mostly because of two things: Lazor Gator and the fact that its name had to be spelled weirdly because of insufficient slot

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''Big scray croc with missing letters in his name, but still a pretty cool dude. Pokemon does crocodilians well''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''Docking (only a couple) points for the unbelievably stupid ten-character-limit name. Feraligator [sic] is still a f***ing beast. Best starter line in Gen 2, by far''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''My baby. Also my favorite "ugly" pokémon that I will fully admit is objectively aesthetically displeasing and not just, like, your opinion man. My female Feraligatr named Precious (marvel at the creativity of my ten year-old brain!) that I leveled up all the way to level 100 without Rare Candies was the star of my Crystal team and, despite owning 5 shinies, my prized pokémon possession. She could take down anything without breaking a virtual sweat regardless of type disadvantages and my dumb ten tear-old movesets and... aw just listen to me reminiscing! This thing just LOOKS like it can f*** you up, and if raised well it certainly can''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Arti:  It looks terrifying, and it's probably the best of the three starters final evos

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''One ferocious ‘gator. Its sprite in Diamond/Pearl is one of my all-time favorites. Being the best battler of the Gen 2 starters by far helps a lot. It and #11 on my list are basically interchangeable''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''Just an all around badass. However, the massive amount of HM's in Gold and Silver means whichever water Pokemon you choose is going to end up an HM slave. I never wanted to waste my starter on that''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''In my Totodile writeup I mentioned how its evolved forms are hideous. Yep. Definitely true. But I would definitely want this hideous thing on my side in a fight. That’s for sure''

<p class="MsoNormal">Ecks: ''Feraligatr is one of those I have a high opinion of in my mind, and then I go and actually look at it and leave disappointed. Sprites have improved over time, at least''

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: he may not have an o but he sure gave your mom one last night ooooooh

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''The misspelled name kind of bothers me, I won’t lie. As for the pokemon itself… it’s serviceable? Definitely low tier as far as fully evolved starters go.

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: Speed beast and it doesn't look too bad with four wings!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: I never trained one until DPP, but it turned out to be a solid Pokemon at level 100.

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Crobat is one of the best evolutions to an oldmon out there, by far; it looks great all-around, it injects some much needed versatility into how to use it, and it often isn’t that hard to acquire (my Crobat in Diamond was one at…Level 23). I really like how the bosses of various teams tend to have a Crobat. Maybe they do care about Pokemon?''

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: ****, after years of being pestered by them, we actually have a reason to catch a Zubat now.

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''How can something so terrible become something so awesome? I dunno, but Crobat pretty much redeems Zubat's gawful line.''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''The redeemer. Such a cool design, a perfect upgrade for the rather bland Zubat and Golbat.'' Anagram: ''Almost redeems Zubat. Almost.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Flubbin: ''Crobat redeems the whole Zubat line. Those wings though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''Takes one of the worst lines from Gen 1 and makes it actually really cool and worth talking about. That's no mean feat. Friendship leveling is mildly irritating, though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''Zubat is actually my favourite of this line so crobat gets second place I guess. Did you know he is a bird because he learns brave bird? now you know, it’s a fact, bats are birds: science''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''Friendship evolution is a system I believe to be overdone, particularly in Generation II. Crobat suffers a bit of fallback for being a perpetrator and not really having an alibi. Like... okay I get why the babies would need to feel secure enough with their masters to evolve and I accept that, but GOLBAT? Espeon and Umbreon at least have the excuse of being guinea pigs to test out the new system and Eevee is cuddly enough that trainers would want to befriend it, but Golbat is just weird. I mean it's bad enough that the game forced me to care for a pokémon I didn't care about just to complete the pokédex but then it's the cave troll too? Are you kidding me!? I'll admit Crobat is b****in' in battle but I can't look past certain beefs.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''Heracross was probably the first bug I thought they got right. Scyther was close, but I wasn't big on the appeal.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: Always will be my favorite 2nd generation Pokemon, I've trained a whole bunch of them over the course of the entire series.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ecks: ''Loved this guy since the first time I saw pictures of him online; I even named him Denryu in my first G/S game. Also like his bit in the story, with his connection to Jasmine and Olivine City.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: ''sheep herders do not actually herd sheep. they herd very woolly dragons. this is a true fact I learned about it on discovery channel''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''I do enjoy yellow things. Ampharos is kinda strange looking considering he’s a sheep, but a good kind of strange.''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''It's a rare generation of Pokémon where I think the FE's generally outclass the NFE's, but... come on now. This one's indisputable. Plus, apparently it now grows white Fabio hair and a Dumbledore beard with cherries stuck in it as a tail, and dual types into Dragon. That's just awesome.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''Ampharos has an awesome tail, and it just looks derpy cool, which is the coolest kind of cool. It's mega form is just so pretty, and one of the rare improvements on an already great model.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''One of the very few full-three-pokemon lines in Gen 2. I used one as a kid and I used one in HGSS. A slow electric-type isn’t really that good, but it could be way worse.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: His mega’s glorious golden tresses made me gay for ampharos.

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''Nice, weird but cute design. A good 'alternate' choice of Electric type. Too bad its Mega Evolution looks like it grew fungi.''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: Kind of overrated, but he's still cool

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: I wouldn't be surprised if approximately 90% of people had this on their GSC in-game team at some point.

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''It's nice to have a three stage line that actually increases in cuteness by the end. One of my favorite Pokemon to bring along back in Gold and Silver.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''Yeah, I'm not seeing the sheep anymore. But who cares, it's mega is AMPHABULOUS! Being a bulky Electric was a nice touch, I'm sick of all these speedy Electric pokemon. I can't quite forgive it for being one of the three pokemon that stopped me dead in my Super Triples rampage in Maison though. Good thing it's coolness prevents it from dropping too much.''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Natwaf’s Nicknames: Mareep-Flaaffy-Ampharos Male: Fabio Female: Lindana  Suor: Dropped some 5 spots because of Mega Ampharos being awful.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''A very good, dependable Electric type. Why did Jasmine in Olivine City have an Ampharos if she specializes in Steel-typed Pokémon anyway?''

<p class="MsoNormal">MSG: ''I love Electric Pokemon. They're easily my favorite in pretty much every game. My play-style has always been hit 'em fast and hit 'em hard. Then there was Ampharos. Yeah, I guess it's neat and looks kinda majestic, but I just couldn't deal with such lackluster speed, so I dropped it fairly early.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Not very fast, but has some nice bulk, and if it hits you it hits you really ****ing hard. And its hair in its Mega Evolution is FABULOUS.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Ermine: ''Pretty cool poke. Just a bit overrated in my opinion.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: While it didn’t affect its ranking at all, I just want to state that Mega Ampharos looks supremely dumb.

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: Its limps look like it would be better and thunder slapping than thunder punching, but its cool anyways.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''MY HAIR GIVES ME SUPER STRENGTH! AND DRAGON TYPING APPARENTLY! So its Japanese name suggests Ampharos was always based on a dragon. Well I ain't seein' it. Don't get me wrong it's a cutie pie and everything but I think it tends to get overrated in general. *note to self go on a rant about Jasmine once this is ranked*''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Oh right the rant. I friggin' hate how that lazy hobags sends you to go run her errands. Pokemon is so full of stupid sidequests that I'm not even sure it would make sense to entrust to your average ten year-old kid but this one takes the cake. I mean what is she even doing at the top of that lighthouse? It's not like she's busy minding her gym because oh that's closed on account of her sick pet. BUT WAIT while you were sitting there waiting for a hero that might never have come you could have told someone you actually knew and trusted to sail across the freakin' sea or better yet look after your Amphy as YOU do that.

<p class="MsoNormal">But no, just wait there as your precious pokemon suffers you b**** until some poor sap comes along looking for your badge and you badger them to go get the medicine you know the exact location of, yet were too busy doing nothing to actually go get. I mean really now! There's no shortage of gym aides and apprentices sitting in every stinkin' gym. Could you have not sent one of those in your place? How long have you lived in this city? Is there not one friend who could have looked after Amphy? No? The ten year-old brat you just met is your only confidante eh? Fine! Why does the dang Lighthouse even need to be tended to? The S.S. Anne doesn't sail that far and I ain't seen no other ships. Waste of my life!

<p class="MsoNormal">That's it. Sorry no big long rant, I just hate how the games force you into playing messenger and delivery boy for no good reason and this is the most prominent example. Usually you get some sort of reward for otherwise pointless sidequests, like I dunno a fossil pokemon or a rare item. But for this one you just get your chance at the badge that you should have got as soon as you walked to the gym. <h2 class="MsoNormal">'''8. Tyranitar'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''I always pretend to be a dinosaur once a day. Tyranitar is that dinosaur more often than not. That style, that elegance, the cute little tummy, he's perfect.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''THE best gen 2 pokemon, Tyranitar's value is well known far and wide. But let's say it again. It looks badass, it has a unique typing that's great offensively, sexy stat spread, fantastic ability (lol specials), it can fill in various roles, and it's Mega is freakin' scary! Almost always part of my Battle Facility team, from Battle Tower to Battle Frontier to Battle Subway to PWT to Battle Maison, you can bet he'll be there to pave the way to victory in my team.''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Natwaf’s Nicknames: Larvitar-Pupitar-Tyranitar''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Male: Silver (no longer used), Evice Female: Zilla  Flubbin: Everything about Tyranitar just clicks with me. Scary, badass rock monster design? Check. Awesome typing? Yup. Incredibly varied movepool? You betcha. I thought it was such an accomplishment when I managed to train my little Larvitar into an awesome Tyranitar, and he never left my party after that. Tyranitar is my favorite Pokemon, and I don’t see that ever changing, really.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: ''Tyranitar Is just an awesome pokemon. The whole line is just a tremendous deconstruction of the bugs from the previous gen and the fact that he looks like freaking godzilla while retaining some of the buglike aspects. It is the single best bug pokemon and its not even bug type! I really love this line compeitively too because sandstorm is awesome. T-Tar is pretty cool you guys.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Evil. Destructive. Unpredictable. Tanky. Mega-Evolves to be even tankier. May as well be a kaiju. Amazing.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: ''As far as I can tell Tyranitar sole purpose is to be an avatar of destruction. Back in Gen III it was totally worth getting Pokemon Colosseum just to get him for sandstorm teams.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: ''Tyranitar is pretty cool. Sand Stream always annoyed me though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: Awesome design, powerful and fun to use, killer ability… I only wish it was possible to obtain him before the game was essentially over.

<p class="MsoNormal">Wickle: ''Godzilla! The latest movie sold me putting flamethrower on Tyranitar permanently. He was also the first Poke to change the weather on appearance, I like that.''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Drak:  ''When I first played Pokemon Silver, I would write these little stories about what my pokemon would do while they were in the box -- power politics, struggles for dominance, that kind of thing. It eventually developed into two factions. The larger faction was led by my starter Typhlosion, who was cunning and manipulative and a master tactician and all that. The smaller 'rebel' faction was led by a Jolteon/Espeon duo.''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''Nice contrast to Dragonite. This dinosaur isn't here for any hugs.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''It's hard and doesn’t afraid of nething. But it's also pretty boring design wise. Avocado green?''

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''Just woah. I think the Mega Evolution is trying a little too hard, but I'll base this one on the better showing. This guy's just awesome. Not to mention it changes the crappy Rock/Ground hybrid into another really cool Dark Pokémon, of which I'm always searching for more good ones.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''A huge improvement over Dragonite. It still has some weight issues of its own but at least looks threatening. And unique type combos are fun.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: My favourite part of him is the weird bud on the end of his tail, high times tyranitar

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''So what I like about Larvitar's mommy is um... everything. A T-Tar was the co-star of both my Silver and Crystal teams, and I use one pretty much any chance I can. Since it has no flaws I'm going to pick on the only thing I CAN, and that is the fact that the Mega sadly missed the point. I mean what even is that? I like what they did with the face but then they gave T-Tar vestigial wing-like spikes when it was never supposed to be a dragon and made its tail resemble more of a peeled banana than it already did. Knee spikes. Nipple eyes! WHY? I guess fans of Tyranitar should see it as a compliment, really. I mean there was no way to improve upon T-Tar's original design so they took it in whatever direction they could... down.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''It was already good, did it really need sand stream? Ugh.''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: Sand Stream Tyranitar + Shedinja is the ultimate combo

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''Do I feel like he’s one of the most vastly overrated Pokemon on earth? Yes. If he was in Gen 1 would he be a lot lower down on the list? Yes. Am I a lame hipster meta voting turd that puts him near last place just to watch the world burn? No way. As far as Gen 2 Pokemon go, this guy is pretty cool. I’ll give him his due.'' Suor: ''I used to love this thing in GSC because it was like a tankier Dragonite with tons of versatility. Then, starting with RSE, I had to face one of these every single time in online battles with its annoying Sand Stream trait. Still one of the best pseudo-legendaries.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Totodile was hilarious in the anime as Ash's Totodile loved to lollygag and have fun and dance and jig and with everything being said and done? Totodile should be #1. Totodile reminds me to have a good time and yes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><3 Totodile every day 24/7 <3

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: BROtodile

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''IT'S JUST SO KWOOOOT (Hi, Poke). I want one as a pet (Hi, Ermine). <3 (Hi, Preston).''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: Toto’s later forms are rather hideous, but Toto himself is adorable.

<p class="MsoNormal">Ermine: Dancing Totodile = The best.

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''Way better than squirtle. Okay that's exageerating a bit, but Totodile is the best first form water pokemon by a decent margin. It's only low because the top of Gen 2 is just so dense.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Like, god bless the anime for Ash's Totodile being the coolest thing ever after Ash's Squirtle.

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''Did you know? Toto is a manufacturing company that makes toilets.''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: Probably my favorite post-Gen I stage 1 starter.

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: so they made one of the starters a tap-dancing crocodile, and people think gen 2's starters are the WORST?

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: He’s got ridges down his back, and a long crooked tail, he’s trying all the time just to stay out of jail

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''I dunno why I had to be told it had the same voice actor as Donald Duck. In retrospect it seems so obvious. Anyway anime Toto is my favorite of Ash's captured Johto team, which is actually saying a lot as he caught a shiny (I'm kidding, I'm not obsessed). That happy jig is just too much. Totodile was also my first starter choice, and considering I played Blue after Crystal that effectively makes it my first pokémon ever. Despite that I don't have tremendous nostalgia for it. Not sure why. It's still great.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''Fun little crocodile! Yeah, that’s about it. Squirtle is probably better.''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: Design-wise my favorite Eeveelution.

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''One of my favorite Eeveelutions. Eeveelution + Psychic is already an instant victory, to my tastes – then add on its classically beautiful, very feline design, and you've got a winner.

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''I like it how in Pokemon Colosseum you start with Espeon and Umbreon from the get go. I really like Espeon. Great Pokemon. I'm just happy you don't evolve Eevee depending on what gender it is. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''While I don’t like being told what part of the day to evolve Eevee, I still rather like Gen 2’s Eeveelutions. Espeon’s special attack is ridiculous.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: It's literally a cat someone painted purple…someone wash this thing out of its misery.

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: ''Back in the day I loved this thing for hitting like a tank and healing itself. Today its still one of the most versatile Pokemon. Easily the best Eevee form until Gen IV.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Both Eevos this gen are very good. (Is this not a thing people say? It should be) This one's has a weird tail but great abilities.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: ''Do psychic types even do psychic things? Mostly they just seem to be magic and purple. Thankfully I like both those things''

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: ''One of the best Eevees. Looks more cat like than fox. Plus Psychic is the coolest type.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''Fast and hits HARD. I actually like this Eeveelution. Looks sleek and mystical to boot.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: Only a little less overrated than Umbreon.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''Hello kitty. Some people say Espeon is the only feline Eeveelution, but Vaporeon and Leafeon possess cat-like traits too. People are weird. Just because they aren't literally nekomata doesn't mean they're pure foxes geesh.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''I like that Suncat’s pretty good in competitive now, and of course in Colosseum it came in handy. Not the best Eeveelution but I think among them it’s underrated. Apart from Jolteon it blows the Gen 1 ones out of the water.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''It’s just so… equally girly and boring. I mean there are much worse things out there, obviously, and it’s not like I hate it, but… its design is so plain. Even in its movepool, it screams generic psychic type. I don’t get why so many people like it. There are so many better Eeveelutions. (Yes, I will fully admit that how overrated it is has made me dislike it more than I otherwise would).''

<p class="MsoNormal">Suor: ''As glamorous and elegant as it is plain and boring in concept and execution. I really wish Umbreon had a better counterpart to match its cool theme and design. It has Magic Bounce though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Goa: Basically he's here because my ten year old self loved the second Pokemon movie.

<p class="MsoNormal">Starfox: ''Unpopular opinion time: I actually liked the second movie more than the first one (we’ll ignore the fact that I was 9 years old the last time I saw them). That aside, Lugia’s such a badass legendary. I love its design despite the wing-hands, because it just feels like it embodies what a legendary Pokemon should be. It’s got a nice range of attacks to use, including Aeroblast, which 9-year-old me thought was the coolest attack ever. Lots of nostalgia and fond memories with him, plus… I mean he’s just awesome.''

<p class="MsoNormal">CasanovaZelos: ''Probably my favorite legendary after Mewtwo. As beautiful as it is intimidating.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybat: ''Probably the most actually "legendary"-looking of any flying bird legendary. Plus it's such a beast in gameplay. I always thought it should be Water somehow though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Anagram: ''It’s a psychic bird with fist wings. You’d think that a bird with fists would be some kind of physical fighter, but nope!''

<p class="MsoNormal">Stifled: ''I like the legendary bird idea continuing into the next generation. While Gen 2’s pair didn’t do it for me quite like the original trio did, Lugia is still excellent. I wish it was part Water type though.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Preston: ''Dude look at this color. I never did finish G/S/C. Because of the internal battery failure in the cartridge so I never caught Lugia. But Lugia is amazing.''

<p class="MsoNormal">I would ranker Lugia higher than this...but then I suddenly remembered the 2013 Character Battle Match with Lugia against Sly Cooper against Francis who gives a **** and it was the lowest vote totals of any match in a Character Battle. 22,481 votes is pitiful. Granted it was a night match and it was only 12 hours long. But the point still stands. I believe that is a record. Bonus matches does not count.

<p class="MsoNormal">Flubbin: ''I felt such a sense of accomplishment when I was finally able to catch Lugia after spending forever trying to navigate through the goddamned Whirl Islands to find him. Lugia was definitely worth it though. Probably my second favorite cover legendary.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Natwaf: ''Master of the legendary birds who lose to it's minions. Lolgia. Apart from that embarassment, there's no denying that Lugia is indeed THE Great Wall of Pokemon. Look at it's massive stats. And dare I say it, it looks better than Ho-Oh. Aeroblast is no Sacred Fire unfortunately.''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Natwaf's Nicknames: Lugia No Gender: Greevil''

<p class="MsoNormal">Logicblade: ''If Ho-oh is badass, then Lugia is majestic. I'm anticipating Lugia will be higher than Ho-oh but we shall see. A lot of what makes Lugia great is the second pokemon movie. I loved it as a kid and the guardian of the seas deserves a high spot on this list.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Wickle: ''The other Psychic/Flying. Just is legendary, so took longer to catch. But most specifically, The movie made me love this Pokemon that if there weren't two other circumstances… it'd certainly be my fave legendary for its song alone.''

<p class="MsoNormal">OrangeCrush: AEROBLAST!!!!1!!

<p class="MsoNormal">KBM: ''I love the typing (a Psychic Legendary bird was super-necessary). The only negative thing I'll say about it is that it pales quite a bit in comparison to its counterpart Ho-Oh... and even a little bit to Xatu, which is an awesome Pokémon that deserves more love. On its own, though, Lugia is very nifty (if not the most compelling box art in the world).''

<p class="MsoNormal">Gen: ''SO! Pokémon the Movie 2000 is... pretty crap by today's standards but when you're a kid you're probably not as good a judge in quality I mean hell you probably bought the same game twice because it came with a slightly different cover and you're a pea-brained moron but I digress. For a pokémon movie it's very well-made and it happens to be my favorite. It made me care about Lugia's plight and Lugia being a freakin' dragon-bird of the sea kind of helps. That baby Lugia from the anime defied all logic about the rarity and breeding habits of Legendaries, but dang the episode was cute.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Magmortar: ''The Great Wall. Thing does. Not. Die. And it is glorious. Its wings always looks liked gigantic hands to me.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Sanity: ''He's basically the Mewtwo of Gold/Silver, but no where near as good or cool. I still like him from a purely functional standpoint, so I have to rate him high.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Arti: AEROBLAST

<p class="MsoNormal">Raka: ''The best legendary of the generation for sure. Sleek, aerodynamic, with a maximum capacity of 10 Pokemon trainers. Lugia© is the perfect vehicle for you and you family.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Ermine: ''While I did say he was overrated, he is still pretty decent. Just not even close to Ho-Oh's league in terms of coolness at all.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Paratroopa: more like loogie, uh

<p class="MsoNormal">Brayze: Whatever

<p class="MsoNormal">Karo: ''Its wings are f***ing arms. Why are its wings f***ing arms! It is disturbing and hideous.''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eddv: I really don’t like the gen 2 legends
