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.

Karo - ”Its a pile of eggs. A PILE OF F***ING EGGS. How the f*** is this thing even alive?”

Wickle - It's s***. Case closed.

Flubbin - ” A dumb idea in every way.”

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.

Preston: Anyone remember that Grimer trading card controversy?

Paratroopa: - kind of has a hilarious sprite

Anagram: A lot of people hate Grimer, but whatever, it's cool enough

Gen: Pretty cute for a pile of sludge. Aside from scorpions, bats, and snakes my bar for Poison types is set pretty low.

Bane: A smaller pile of goop. Just doing its own thing. Alright then.

Raka: Stinky goo.

Stifled: Small blob of poo.

Inviso: I like these guys enough...I find the design more fun than Golem, who is kind of a massive step down in coolness (much like Gengar from Haunter). But it's just a middle form that doesn't really have anything special about it.

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.

Paratroopa: yeah kind of a swing and a miss on this guy

Magmortar: If it walked into a fire, it’d look like it just came out of Extreme Makeover. That grin on its Sinnoh game sprites gives it a redeeming factor.

Gen: Why does it say "Mime, mime" in the anime? Isn't it a f***in' mime?

Inviso: Weedle is the lesser of the two starting bugs because Poison sting is weak compared to Tackle...and honestly, Weedle doesn't have the nostalgia factor like Caterpie does (plus the overall line is just better, whereas Beedrill is inferior to Butterfree).

Magmortar: Ass to raise. Even more of an ass to grind on. I’m curious as to how many Nuzlocke runs Weedle has ruined. Too many. I don’t think I lost something in my Nuzlocke of Firered when I fought one of these things. At least that I cared for! So yeah. Weedle gets you to care about your Pokemon! Good man.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. That said, I always name it CENTWAUR.

Wickle: Kakuna > Metapod, but Caterpie > Weedle. Case closed. Weedle I catch and evolve as swiftly as possible to get it off that mode.

Bane: The start of this dumb line, can be cute but still not good. Caterpie line is FAR superior

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.

Raka: Like a less iconic Caterpie.

Gen: My favorite form of my first ever shiny, leave me alone.

Paratroopa: as far as nidorans go, not great

Raka: Real women have curves.

Bane: Same as Nidorino pretty much without the cooler color, looks pretty cool and tough though.

Stifled: Dat apathy.

Starfox: When the female versions somehow wound up uglier than the male ones, which pretty much solely rely on badassery to detract from the fact that they're pretty ugly, ya dun goofed.

Natwaf: NFE Trash of an inferior line

Wickle: I dunno what I don't like about it... but I don't like it exactly...

Preston: Honestly? I never was fond of the Nidorats. They look unaesthetically pleasing. The ears are floppy, the speckles on Nidorino and Nidorina are mismatched, like the spots are tossed on to the design as an afterthought.

And I really wished I had something else besides this, Mankey and/or a Butterfree to use against Brock in Yellow. Not a very rad Pokémon honestly.

Magmortar: A rhino vs. this thing. Hmm. Tough decision. Also, why can't it breed?

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.

Gen: I feel like a bat pokémon could be better. Because it happened already. Twice.

Preston: I once tried using (only) a Zubat to beat Misty with Leech Life. I was crushed. Literally.

Starfox: Dislike it for the same reasons as Tentacool. It’s only lower because its cry is slightly more annoying.

Raka: Pest.

Logicblade: Supersonic will be the death of me. God damn bats. I love Crobat... hate this garbage.

Magmortar: A creepy Pokemon, most definitely, but I’ve always liked the tapir-inspired design.

Paratroopa: Yeah he’s all right

Bane: I always think Drowzee is the Pokemon that just smoked a bowl and is like “Yoooooooo dude what if….” and flails his arms about. He’s just chilling being Psychic and all.

Stifled: I only remember this line because of the episode where Misty thought she was a Seel. Except Hypno is cooler.

Raka: Creepy.

Anagram: Since I'm jewish, am I in the clear to make jokes about gigantic noses for GameFAQs modding purposes?

Preston: Drowzee looks like a snork.

Karo: Lost pokedex entries #1 - Drowzee, the r*****ed elephant fetus pokemon. This pokemon is repeatedly dropped on a head as a baby. This is simultaniously responsible for both its brain damage and psychic powers.

Flubbin: Jynx will always be the baddest b**** in town.

Raka: S-S-Stupid hoe with superb asss, etc.

Bane: Vaguely offensive, I really don’t know what whoever designed Jynx was taking and/or watching at the time. Definitely memorable and stands out.

Stifled: Hi Aunt Jemima

Karo: Pokemon shoudn't wear people clothes. Especally if you are a racist stereotype.

Preston: Jynx creeps me out. It's fugly looking. Jynx looks conspicuously like Nicki Minaj and if Pokémon was real? Jynx would be at the bar parlors and be pole dancing all night long. So much win not really so much win.

Gen: Does it really need to be said?

Starfox: This thing using Lovely Kiss in Pokemon Stadium haunts my nightmares to this day

Natwaf: Ugly, and the whole racist debacle is just tiresome. IIRC, it's a pretty fast sleep inducer, but I just can't stand looking at it. Never shall it have a place on my team. And why the hell didn't it get an evo like magmar and electabuzz did in gen IV?

Red: This thing is ugly. And I hate seeing it in battle because you basically have to choose something you want to be slept for awhile. Unless you led with like a Dodrio or something.

Raka: Cute, cuddly, and tiny.

Preston: Meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh. So much meh.

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.

Gen: I can't even think of something to say about it. That's how forgettable it is.

Bane: Kind of cute with its eyes and little feet, but the mess of vines all over it creeps me out a bit for an unknown reason.

Paratroopa: really just sort of unpleasant and creepy

Flubbin: Tangela just kind of sucks. It doesn’t even have a cool Japanese name like MOJOMBO to make up for it. Such a shame.

Magmortar: For some reason, such a simple design is that appealing to me. It’s angry and it’s fast. That’s it. There probably isn’t any other line where the members of it are both big favorites of mine and very, very close together.

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...

Bane: Literally a pokeball with eyes, and tries to looks ultra tough and angry. Alright dude, I’ll stay away.

Starfox: I’ve always sorta liked Voltorb… but then again I’ve always had a minor soft spot for the gimmicky Pokemon.

Gen: It's a pokeball. How clever. NOT!

Stifled: As much as I love Electrode, I strangely don't care about Voltorb

Preston: I was tempted to put Voltorb even lower than where I am initiating resting it.

Why the hell did Ash Ketchum have a Voltorb alarm clock anyway?

Raka: The Ball-vard of Broken Dreams

Natwaf: NFE trash. The mimic gimmick earned it some points... but honestly, it's just boring to look at. And it ****ing self-destructs.

Raka: You've been late, You've been mean, and getting fatter all the time.

Red: This thing is just boring. It sucks in battle, its a super generic fish. Only thing it has going is its name, but Seadra being so close to it just makes me not care about it.

Bane: Its eyes remind me of Paralyzed Horse from The Bravest Warriors. Go watch that on Youtube if you haven’t, it’s great. Anyway, the horn is kind of cool. Not much else.

Preston: Goldeen on morphine

Natwaf: From the River Queen to the Seaking, this line is just MEH personified. Lightning Rod is an odd choice. It would have been funny... had I ever needed lightning to kill a goldfish. As it is, Seaking is just ugly, bad, and boring

Stifled: So ugly. Goldeen was actually kinda cute and it evolved…into this thing.

It should probably be noted that had a certain person not told me to put Seaking in a spot he didn't want me to and didn't notice it until it was too late, Seaking would be about five spots higher. That person shall remain nameless unless he wishes to come forward though.

The only available options players had to defeat Brock back in Yellow was using either a Butterfree or Mankey.

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.

<3 Mankey <3

Magmortar: As a Charmander guy (and earlier, a guy who did played Yellow version), this thing vs. Brock is a godsend, and it doesn’t stop being useful after.

Paratroopa: be strong clarence. be strong for mother

Wickle: Helicopter meme. That is all it is. But it is a dodo bird, and I gave it respect for that.

Anagram: Some people say that Gen 1 had dumb designs with things like Doduo and Dodrio, and ehhh, they aren't REALLY wrong, but Doduo and Dodrio are just so stupid I can't help but love them.

Red: Pretty plain, Dodrio superior.

Preston: The only notable thing I can say here about Doduo was that he was one of only a small handful of Pokémon that could learn Tri Attack. It was a cool, colorful beam of light attack in Pokémon Stadium.
Otherwise? Meh.

Stifled: Mutant birdy

Raka: The cool Pokemon that nobody uses.

Gen: I love kiwi birdies. It would take something going horribly wrong for me to not love a pokémon based on one. Something went horribly wrong.

Bane: I like its eyes for some reason. That’s about it. But it suddenly reminds me that American Horror Story: Freak Show is about to start. Can’t wait for that, hope it matches how good Asylum was.

Bane: Just a tiny little bug with menacing red eyes. Which is cool because it reminds me of an Egyptian scarab, when it looks harmless but you KNOW some ancient curse is about to go down. Even though it doesn’t really look like a scarab. Don’t question me.

Paratroopa: I always used to think its eyes were on the top of its head based on its sprite

Preston: I think we are finally done discussing the Pokemon it is that I have a negative opinion on from the first generation.

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.

Gen: It's a horseshoe crab. They're neither extinct nor particularly interesting. But they ARE ancient.

Raka: More like forgettable-to dohohoho

Red: Dome. But far inferior to Kabutops.

Magmortar: That scene in Cars 2 with something called Kabuto would probably make for a better writeup than this thing. At least it has an amazing evolution.

'Natwaf': Fossil AND NFE Trash. IIRC, it and the gen 1 brethren were level 5 when they were revived, was that true?

Wickle: I prefer Omanyte.

Stifled: Strange disc thing. I feel like he should unlock a door in a Resident Evil game.

Stifled: Love the tongue.

Wickle: There are better water types.

Magmortar: Hey! It helps to make a (spoilers) pretty awesome Pokemon!

Bane: Nothing too notable about it. I do like the tongue sticking out.

Raka: What's up with its alternate, elongated art?

Red: I like this thing a lot better than cloyster, but its still just a shell with a tongue.

Karo: Lost Pokedex entries #2 - Shellder, the armored pen*s pokemon. What many trainers mistake for a tounge is actually this creature's reproducktive organ.

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’s about it. But that’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… purely based on design, it’s bottom ten easily.

'Logic'blade: 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’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: I wouldn't wanna eat a cater pie.

Magmortar: Honestly? Caterpie is a Pokemon I have nothing to say about. At all. Not even that it defines generic. Even Caterpie’s line is more memorable than Pidgey’s.

Red: At least its not as ugly as its poison counterpart, but its still just a bug. It hurts that these things have been rehashed so many times over the years.

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

I’m a little partial to Lickitung. It was in the anime and Jessie had one and stuff but I could live without the horror that is Lickilicky though. Not a bad Pokémon in my opinion.

Wickle: Sorta entertaining with the tongue thing.

Bane: Who thought of him? I like it but it’s so weird. With a tongue like that he could- you know what? I shouldn’t even finish that sentence. Let’s just say it could have some specialties.

Stifled: Sushi!

Natwaf: FE Trash. Weak, ugly, rare, and just plain boring.

Magmortar: One of the most forgettable Pokemon of all time. Extremely hard to use for any purpose at all, weird design and just I don’t even. If it could explode like its evolution can, maybe I’d remember it existed. But you know what? Better than ****ing Chansey.

Magmortar: Has a distinction among the early rodents of being actually really good if utilized correctly. Sometimes. Generally not all that bad in-game either. It's really ugly, though, and that sacrifices a top 50 slot.

Natwaf: It's a rat. How about that. Weak and ugly. Rattata is more amusing. And there was an early Raticate?

Wickle: Guess what? Joey's Rattata still evolves.

Paratroopa: raticate raticate baker's man

Raka: Even a whore who has gone to the bad. Won't be had by a rat!

Anagram: Ugly as hell, definitely the worst 'basic normal-type you get super early' pokemon

Gen: why is it so scary Mommy?

Stifled: It's so disgusting, yet terrifying

Preston: The rocket grunt that had a Raticate back at Mt. Moon was one of the most ill-fated encounters of the whole game. That merit alone puts Raticate in the bottom five.

Bane: Ugly, stupid, pretty useless. Yeah.

Preston: 57. Geodude I apologize for my write-ups being a retread of everything it is I have previously said before. I like Geodude. Sure you have to trade evolve it to become Golem and the Rock / Ground type combo isn’t very good but Geodude is a classic among classics. Geodude is present in almost every generation, in the caves and it’s worth using more so than something crummy like Zubat or Clefairy. That’s for sure. That’s why her hair is so big. It’s full of secrets.

Gen: Cool name, cool concept, cool pokémon... as far as rocks go anyway.

Anagram: I never understood why it floats when its evolutions do not, but okay.

Natwaf: NFE Trash that gets a shoutout in one of my favorite Disney series, Fillmore. Also useful if it appears early.

Paratroopa: he's a rock with fists that's cool

Bane: A rock with two brawlic arms. It works.

Stifled: Brock's Geodude was so boss

Wickle: Annoyed me more than Zubat due to those constant visits to the cave near Azalea Town in Gen 2.

Red: I actually liked Geodude more than this at some point...and then there was that one generation where Geodude was everywhere. I think it was 4? Anyway, it was everywhere. It was in every damn cave ever. And I think it even made it into some tall grass. It just became the Zubat of everything. Go away.

What a pro.

Bane: Really silly and lanky looking but funny, he’s an odd one. Like the whole line is. I still find it weird that they made a whole Tower and monks dedicated to Bellsprouts.

Mega Mana: Gotspork, am I right?

Magmortar: Used to be a huge fan of it, now mostly remember it for having Dex #069. Probably because that's the only thing a friend of mine remembers it for, too.

Paratroopa: I'm literally doing these writeups in about half an hour do you expect me to have something to say about everything

Gen: Very, very cute. Not as cute as another basic of a different three-stage Grass line, but cute all the same. Sadly, knowing what its final stage will be kills all anticipation of ever raising it.

Stifled: I loved that OP Bellsprout Ash fought in the Indigo League.

Preston: Oddish was better. Mega Drain saved me from defeat, numerous times in a battle.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. Kinda useful in Johto early on, and dat giant one in the anime

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.

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.

Bane: Not as cool as Jigglypuff, but I like its ears.

Wickle: Elongated Jigglypuff and a wasted Poke slot, imo.

Magmortar: Some things are messed up beyond repair. I think that’s a description that works nicely for Wigglytuff. Why doesn’t it have awesome abilities like Clefable does? Who knows. Point is, to me, it will always seem like a harmless little f***

Stifled: Not necessary. Jigglypuff would have been fine as a stand alone.

Starfox: It kinda looks like somebody stepped on a Jigglypuff. It’s one of those things where it looks like they tried so hard to make it look cute that they managed to fail on an epic scale.

Gen: I like saying its name as of it rhymes with frittata. This makes it slightly more appealing. Anyway rats can be cute and purple is one of my favorite colors. That almost saves him from the bottom half of my list.

Magmortar: Top percentage it may not be, but I find Rattata a lot more useful and generally appealing than many other early game rodents

Paratroopa: not in the top 70% of this list

Paratroopa: paras has eyes. parasect's eyes are hollow and dead. in the process of evolving, paras becomes mindless and the fungus takes over. pokemon!

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…whatever, they make me think it's a mushroom crab. I know I’m in a minority here, but Parasect is a top tier Bug and a top tier Grass.

Natwaf: The first Grass type I used in RBY. Also a Mewtwo killer. And 8x weakness to fire is hilarious thanks to it's ability. Finally, Spore.

Raka: Pretty menacing and cool.

Preston: If I have no memorabilia of Paras, what makes you think I have any of Parasect? Screw you Parasect.

Bane: Really creepy, but not in the good way. I hate that it has no pupils.

Stifled: Worst line in Gen 1 by a mile. And I even love mushrooms, but a Nintendo game made mushrooms boring, ugly, and useless in battle. What the hell is that about?

Sanity: splash

Stifled: Are you gonna take that, Magikarp?! Use YOUR Splash attack!

Natwaf: NFE Trash. In fact, I dare say it's one of THE Trash. Magikarp jokes and memes amuse me, and STRONGEST MAGIKARP EVER bonus points.

Drak: To effectuate this intent, the General Assembly declares the following to be important purposes of this Article: [...] To provide an individualized assessment of each alleged and adjudicated delinquent juvenile, in order to rehabilitate and to prevent further delinquent behavior through the development of competency in the juvenile offender.

(sorry Drak, but you’ve really got to explain this one to me >_>)

Paratroopa: karp karp

Magmortar: Kudos to the Magikarp Fishermen. Always sticking to use useless Pokemon, and making speed EV training quite...speedy!

Wickle: it's appeal is in its uselessness. Since it's hilarious to train. Forget evolving, just getting enough EXP for it to learn Tackle is the most satisfying experience.

Red: I liked this Pokemon much better before they rehashed it with Feebas. Also confused by Goldeen usurped it for Smash.

Karo: Stupid and useless.

Bane: “Magikarp used Splash!” And it was super effective on me. Akin to how I love the movie The Room, it’s so bad and useless I like it. And the fact that it turns into Gyarados is beautiful.

Preston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh9OokztgMw

Gen: I really wanted to not put it in my bottom twenty because I like the Japanese fable behind its evolutionary line- the one about the karp that leaps so high that it becomes a dragon- but well... it sucks so hard. The fact that it intentionally was created to suck so hard does not change the fact that it sucks so damn hard.

Raka: Karp…karp…krap.

Natwaf: Unaware Clefable is awesome. And the stuff of nightmares, though it's not exactly the most well known user of Unaware. I still don't get why Clefable gets Meteor Mash, nobody outside Metagross should even consider using it. And Metronome is always hilarious.

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.

Red: Better than Clefairy, and I always found it interesting back in RBY how Clefable was one of the Pokemon just outside the range of usability in compettiive play.

Paratroopa: back when this game was popular in 4th grade, someone named their clefable BIGBUTT and this was the height of comedy. good times

Bane: A cute fairy-type Pokemon. And I like how they say it MIGHT come from the Moon.

Magmortar: Few things have as much variety as this thing. Huge movepool and some abilities that are just so good. If you ask me, it’s about time this thing saw some time in OU. Annoying little ***** at times. Designs go a long way and I kind of hate Clefable’s, though.

Preston: Jigglypuff is better than you.

Starfox: Hate its design, and making it a fairy type only made me more keenly aware of how unappealing it is.

Stifled: Not necessary. Clefairy would have been fine as a stand alone.

Paratroopa: mostly charges at stuff and headbutts things and I think this is a life goal we can all aspire to

Natwaf: NFE Trash. Looks great though.

Raka: Strong but bland like a coffee.

Wickle: I do like it being a rhino, but I have no appeal in using it.

Magmortar: Not fun to raise. Worth it? Yeah. Why does it have the same cry as Charizard? That’s a mystery.

Preston: Honestly? I never really cared about Rhyhorn and Rhydon all that much. In battle? It’s just another ordinary Rock / Ground type and just another plain ragtag dinosaur design. The procedure in battle is the same as you should be accustomed to fighting Geodude, Sandshrew and Onix well before fighting your first Rhyhorn. Pretty boring really.

Red: I always felt his design looked a little bland. Rhydon a big improvement.

Stifled: You don't deserve to have the same cry as Charizard. Stop copying him.

Bane: A rock rhino. Cool, but kind of bores me. Rhydon makes up for it.

Wickle: I have no experience in using her, but the monarchy of the Nido family is kind of cool. Thus I like the final evos.

Red: Always had a bit of a soft spot for the Nido line, but Nidoqueen is clearly far inferior to Nidoking, both in the look and usefulness department.

Natwaf: More defensive than the King, which means she has no place in my team. That said, it's still a neat Sheer Force user, and the bigger bulk might come in handy. And personally I tihnk she looks nice.

Raka: Mammaries.

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.

Okay I’m done here talking about Nidoqueen. Screw you Nidoqueen.

Stifled: Awkward boobs

Magmortar: Not a bad fighter, but nothing about Nidoqueen really stands out to me quite like certain other Pokemon do.

Anagram: Memorable solely due to being infertile

Starfox: I must be the only person who never noticed the boobs until it was pointed out to me >_>

Gen: Have I ever told you the story of the first shiny I ever caught? Back in ye olde days of Gameboy Color, in my Pokemon Crystal I happened upon a shiny Nidoran Female. I evolved her into my precious shiny Nidorina, but when I leveled her up to a respectable skillset and gave her a Moon Stone the horror that awaited me was a diarrhea green monstrosity wearing a hot pink bra and granny panty set. I have not forgiven the pokemon since.

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

Paratroopa: horse a was not a very good radiohead album

Red: Definitely a bit cute, but not awesome like Seadra.

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.

Bane: Another personal one. Looks like the ultimate bro which is cool but he was my first ever shiny in Pokemon Crystal. I’ll never forget it, in Mt. Mortar.

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.

Gen: It's 3 Magnemites. Not exactly the cutting edge in innovation but at least it makes sense.

Gen: it's simplistic and cute, but not so that its simplicity and cuteness are its only defining features. 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.

Raka: Metronome BEAST.

Bane: Oh god, all I can think of is that Teacher minigame in Pokemon Stadium. God help you if got past the 4th board or so. She’s cute otherwise. Also a confirmed Alien.

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.

Red: Boring. Definitely prefer Clefable.

Paratroopa: is a crab

Preston: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs36/i/2008/248/2/f/Krabby_Can_Has_Cookie_by_PierEighteen.jpg

Wickle: I like crabs, the animal, not the... you get it. *rimshot*

Magmortar: I dunno, a neat little krab NFE that hits harder than Swampert sounds pretty appealing to me.

Stifled: Dat Crabhammer.

Bane: Kind of silly looking, but I like the shade of red the top half is. And crabs are pretty cool.

Raka: Looks good.

Anagram: So much better than Crawdaunt I don't even know what to say

Natwaf: NFE Trash. A boring crab one at that

Classic. Simply classic.

Anagram: So dumb, so perfect.

Flubbin: After watching that episode of the anime with all of the Digletts, kid me thought Diglett was the cutest thing ever, and I still think it’s pretty darn cute. DIG-A-DIG, DIG-A-DIG (TRIO TRIO TRIO)

Gen: I love whack-a-mole but I don't think I could whack a Diglett. Raise your hand if you thought its big nose was an odd mouth!

Bane: It’s just a little thing in the ground, and yet they made it cute. I also love its call “Diglett Dig Diglett Dig!”

Stifled: Diglett Dig! Diglett Dig!

Paratroopa: ok

Wickle: It's a turd being buried in the ground. And then had eyes and a nose put on them. Only reason it's a little higher than it should be for me is because it's the main Poke for Dig, which I used to love.

Raka: Eh, it's okay.

Karo: they look dumb, and the whole never see thier feet thing is dumb too.

Stifled: Inferior birdy line.

Paratroopa: this used to be my favorite pokemon. things changed

Gen: I wonder who decided to break its neck. I mean gosh I know it's ugly but no living creature deserves to be tortured like that.

Wickle: Its beak is the worst. It made me never want to catch a Farfetch'd in Gen 1 because the duck was in the same place as this terrible bird.

Bane: Nasty attitude thing evolved from another nasty attitude thing. I do like the little red mohawk thing it has going on but that’s it.

Raka: Nurse Joy's aide, bonus points.

Wickle: Attitude came from the anime, I always did like it being Nurse Joy's main poke. Plus I liked getting it in a Pokeball and eating its eggs in... was it Melee or Brawl... I dun remember.

Preston: Chansey is very hit and miss with me. Chansey is undeniably cute. The way it greets you at the Pokémon Center every time. On the other hand? Chansey is one those Pokemon where you love to use but detest facing. Chansey has the highest HP stat of any Pokémon. Chansey is Normal type and is resistant to almost any attack (besides Fighting tactics) and it can be a drag to take out. Chansey is like Brock Lesnar like the beast incarnated. :O. Jessie’s childhood friend was also a Chansey. Overall? I guess Chansey is okay.

Bane: F***ing HATED trying to catch it in the Safari zone. But it is cute and I like its design.

Stifled: Nurse Joy's slave labor.

Red: Hated this thing a lot less when Blissey didnt exist. It just didnt warrant an evolution with its stats already being in a reasonable place.

Starfox: Stalls are the worst, and Chansey is the most offensive of the bunch. Throw in the fact that it has a design that tries to hard to be cute that it just becomes annoying and I can’t come anywhere close to liking it.

Paratroopa: go away chansey I hate you

Anagram: Every time I encounter one of these in an online battle, I just want to shoot myself to save time

Natwaf: **** YOU CHANSEY

I'll gladly sacrifice the existence of Lucky eggs to eradicate Chansey and ALL OF IT'S ILK! Hell, make me pay the Pokemon Center as well.

Magmortar: I think Chansey sucks and that it and its line are some of the worst things to ever happen to Poke-no, gaming. Not even Lucky Eggs count as a positive because REALLY…you don’t actually EXPECT TO GET ONE FROM A CHANSEY DO YOU?! Thought so. If I could wipe it (and the rest of its line) from existence, I would, because mother of god, Chansey is a load of malarkey. At least Fighting types just eat it for dinner. “F*** ‘em man, white knuckles tight!”

Starfox: I always liked Porygon… I thought it was cool. Maybe useless, but still really cool. Then, of course, I learned that he caused a bunch of small children to have seizures… so naturally I had to bump him up a few spots.

Paratroopa: giving children seizures is good enough for 25

Anagram: I used to LOVE this thing as a kid. Unfortunately, it was useless, and my love for it eventually disappeared.

Wickle: King of Tri-attack, the computer-ized Pokemon. Just nice.

Natwaf: Weak. Major bonus points for being the subject of the controversial episode Electric Soldier Porygon... though technically I believe that was Pikachu's fault.

Raka: Electric Soldier! I've never had one.

Preston: Intrusive game corner side quest? Strike one. Caused seizures to children in Japan? Strike two. Nearly outright cancelled Pokémon for good? Three strikes and you’re out.

Bane: Another weird Pokemon, I was always perplexed by Porygon. It was always just THERE, not really doing much.

Stifled: F***ing casino

Magmortar: I love the concept and its evolutions, but as an actual Pokemon, it’s just awful. It also screwed its evolutions out of appearances in the anime! What a guy

Karo: The whole concept behind this pokemon is so profoundly stupid, it makes my head hurt. Why can a digitally created pokemon can exist in the real world? Why would they even bother using Mew's DNA to create a super-powered pokemon when the tech exists to make a legit pokemon out of scratch? Porygon's greatest contrubution to the pokeworld as a whole is giving small children seizures.

Bane: Really cool until you play Pokemon Snap and see how 2 of them fight one another and one burns the other and it passes out on the ground. I don’t know why but it plays out like a comedy, which is a good thing in this case. I think the way it says “MAGMAR!” has to do with it.

Paratroopa: #1 in having butt on forehead

Stifled: That Zard vs. Magmar battle in the anime was epic.

Flubbin: Magmar has not yet reached his full potential. One day he will have big, beautiful, ARM CANNONS. Soon, Magmar. Soon.

Red: I liked pulling this thing out in underused teams in RBY. So that boosts it up a lot.

Preston: I really want to watch Sonic X right now. Or more Power Rangers. Both sound so good. Why does Weepinbell have two L’s in it’s name and Victreebel only has one? >_>

Stifled: Huge mutant plant that eats James.

Bane: Didn’t really like Victreebel until James got one in the anime. That one was cool. Other than that it’s meh, although the two teeth it has pretty cool.

Preston: <3 TEAM ROCKET <3

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.

Stifled: WEEZING!

Preston: I’ll be up front here about this. I like Onix. Now only if I didn’t have to trade it to get Steelix. >_> Brock had one and Brock was the first real “boss” in the history of Pokémon franchise so that has to count for something.

Stifled: Onix should really be more powerful than he is. But he's still cool.

Gen: I have never liked this thing. But I can't bring myself to hate it either. This writeup is about as interesting as the pokémon it's about.

Raka: Menacingly huge.

Bane: Giant Rock Snake, pretty cool right? Yeah. And the spike on its head is even cooler. Not much else to say.

Karo: Lost Pokedex entries #4 - Onix, the huge snake pokemon. Onix are often harassed by Masahiro Sakurai for being 'too big' for the game.

Tennis: It was my first Pokemon card and it's still ranked this low. It sucks.

Natwaf: FE Trash. WEAK.

Magmortar: Other people will probably provide Freudian-filled writeups, so I will just bring up the whole thing about Farfetch’d being stronger than it. Farfetch’d. And that Pokemon weight is beyond nonsensicle. How the Hell is this thing less than…500 pounds?!

Paratroopa: literally a giant rock monster with less attack than Pikachu

Red: I played a lot of competitive RBY so forgive me for holding competitiveness against a few Pokemon but...Onix is absolute garbage tier in this game. Its also just a big pile of rocks. And have I mentioned, entirely unusable? You couldnt even run with it in-game because you'd never kill anything for days.

In general seems like a great Fairy killer. After Charizard, Ash’s Muk is probably my favorite of that guy’s Pokemon. So yeah. To me, underrated in just about everything.

Sanity: Oh yes, we know what he is.

Natwaf: The card was cool, and I had success using it in RSE Battle Factory.

Paratroopa: kind of looks like some kind of plush toy that squeaks when you squeeze it

Preston: Look at how cute Seel is. ^_^

I once had the Seel plush toy they had as a giveaway from KFC. Here’s a picture for anyone that hasn’t seen it.

Gen: I wanna hug its face.

Bane: Another member of the doofy Dewgong family but smaller. Still cute.

Stifled: I had a plushie of him as a kid. So cute!

Magmortar: This time, I like the species so much that I don’t really care about it not being all that, well, great.

Anagram: When people say that Gen 3+ pokemon are overdesigned, a common retort is that some Gen 1 pokemon are just animals, and Seel is the one they always point to. Honestly? Both sides of that argument are pretty much in the right.

Red: The seel line has kind of this weird face that I just don't like. Dewgong loses it a bit but Seel just looks too damn dumb to me. I just feel like something is wrong with him.

Raka: Oo, pretty colors.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. It has an ugly face that's asking to be kicked to boot.

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)

Mana: I actually like the challenge every game of trying to catch him.

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.

Raka: Harder to catch than…a bra.

Sanity: Funniest Pokemon ever. Everything about him is perfect.

Paratroopa: slowbro, but not as good

Gen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce5mRvkAePU

Red: Nothing horribly off with its design, but I definitely hold the lack of intelligence against Pokemon.

Wickle: I wonder what its tail tastes like. I found its name hilarious, it's face hilarious, its everything hilarious... and then nothing. I had no want to use it until Gen 2 because the king, and thinking about what I like about it makes me think it used Yawn.

Stifled: That was so dark when Team Rocket chopped off their tails and sold them.

Bane: Oh look, the ultimate doofy Pokemon. He’s pretty chill, which I can appreciate.

Anagram: Memorable solely due to the meme.

Preston: I’ll be honest. I never really liked Slowpoke that much. While that one episode of the Pokémon Anime was good (The Island Of The Giant Pokemon), What was up with Slowpoke giving Pikachu and Charmander the silent treatment? >_>

Raka: Endearing and delicious.

Magmortar: Very, very slow. I kind of like it, though. Generally starting from here I don’t mind the Pokemon. Gen 1 has a much smaller amount of bad Pokemon than most generations I think.

Anagram: A lot of people say Electrode is awful, but screw you guys, it's great.

Magmortar: I really like using this thing (all that speed mang), but I prefer the design of its pre-evolution.

Wickle: CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGE BEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAM. Dat face too good, as well.

Bane: I love that s***-eating smile it has. And the ways its eyebrows are makes it so confident and cocky, I love it. Honestly I could put him up higher as well.

Red: I have dabbled with this thing in competitive RBY. I'll always remember it as the fastest thing in the game.

Raka: Dat Dreamworks grin.

Natwaf: FE Trash. Literally upside down Voltorb with a mouth. That said, dat winning smile. And high speed explode. 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

Gen: Ooh an upside-down pokéball so original! But seriously I kinda dig that smug grin he's got going on.

Flubbin: Electrode would be lower if it weren’t for that constant hilarious grin on his face.

Paratroopa: slightly better than voltorb if only for his ridiculous s*** eating grin

Drak: douchebags need to quit exploding.

Preston: The third worst Pokémon in Smash Bros (besides Goldeen and Wobbuffet). I have nothing else to say here.

Magmortar: Those three heads are so different, they have to banter with each other all the time. It’s something that makes me wish we could understand Pokemon!

Mana: And My Personal Bird Jesus’ second-in-command.

Paratroopa: moves up about 50 spots if it flies by spinning its heads like a helicopter

Raka: Cool concept.

Wickle: It looked cool, it was used by Gary Mother****ing Oak... Yet that's kind of all its merit.

Anagram: Some people say that Gen 1 had dumb designs with things like Doduo and Dodrio, and ehhh, they aren't REALLY wrong, but Doduo and Dodrio are just so stupid I can't help but love them.

Gen: I like tapirs, this was the fully evolved form of my second shiny ever, and the creepypasta is decent

Magmortar: I got stuck with it for my FireRed Nuzlocke, and I must say, for that, it was beastly. If you hate Sabrina, all you need is to get one of these things and a Shadow Ball TM. It’s that much of a joke (plus it comes in handy for Koga!)

Starfox: I had one during my SoulSilver Nuzlocke. Named it Pedobear. Got me out of many a tight spot before the… incident… that caused me to never forgive a certain spawn of satan.

Wickle: The king of Hypnosis is one of those hypnotist guys that made my Senior party so much more hilarious. I like its concept, but I could never fit him on a team when I preferred so many other Psychic types.

Raka: Jeeper creepers.

Paratroopa: #68, but would be #1 if ranked based on how good it would look in an argyle sweater

Anagram: Here is where my question about Drowzee comes into play.

Stifled: I only remember this line because of the episode where Misty thought she was a Seel.

Bane: Reminds me of a goblin. It’s ok with its swinging charm but not much other than that. Go back to Nilbog Hypno.

Poke: Such a happy bro.

Red: Probably my favorite of its line, just the best design and one of the best names in the generation.

Preston: Solid Water type. Not up to the excellence compared to other Water types out there but Poliwhirl isn’t too bad.

Bane: I don’t know why, but I love its eyes. Makes it adorable looking even with a huge spiral where a mouth should be. And with the gloves it’s like “Yeah! I can be a fighter like the grown-ups too!”

Flubbin: Fun fact: when my brother was a kid, he went as Poliwhirl for Halloween once. I thought it was an odd choice for a Pokemon costume, but whatever. Poliwhirl is a chill guy.

Wickle: The toilet bowl evolved... to a foreign toilet bowl! I really did love the whole thing about Poliwhirl's swirl going in reverse. And his name is whirl.

Raka: Docile Poliwrath.

Magmortar: This being a developer’s favorite is far, far beyond me.

Gen: I like how despite its name, it's nowhere near as vile as its prevo. Actually it's almost as cute as Oddish, and it's my go-to Grass type when I don't pick Bulbasaur, which is often.

Bane: Somehow cute even though it spouts out noxious gases and poisons. And the huge flower on its head makes for a really cool hat.

Raka: Petal Dance so cool.

Preston: Vileplume was so hard to get a snapshot of in Pokémon Snap. 

Stifled: It must have a hard time walking around with all that on its head.

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

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.

Natwaf: The star of my in-game Mono-Poison team. There I was, underleveled and fighting Blue's Champion team. 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.

Bane: SO much better than Tentacool. Huge ass menacing squid creature with a hooked nose (that’s what it looks like to me).

Raka: Good, but fodder-ish.

Red: The Golbat of the sea.

Preston: Squilliam Fancyson. I liked the Tentacool & Tentacruel episode in the anime but that’s about all the positive feedback I can give to Tentacruel.

Gen: It's way cooler than Tentacool but uh... that's not saying much.

Stifled: Tentacle rape monster. It even poisons its victims first.

Wizards: Did they ever resolve that storyline about that evil 30 ft. Tentacruel that wanted to take over the world?

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: If only there was an easier method to make Graveler evolve into Golem. Sigh.

Mana: So hard to place. Pro: He's awesome looking and powerful. Con: MASS EXPLOSIONS = INSTANT DEATH

Magmortar: It’s not even an actual golem. Served me well on my playthrough of SoulSilver, though, and it’s generally not a terrible Pokemon.

Paratroopa: really tried hard on the name there didn't they

Raka: Ugly b****

Anagram: I honestly don't even know what the hell Golem is supposed to be. Its head is just exactly the right shape and size to be hideous.

Bane: A huge rock ball with a head, arms and legs sticking out. Dunno how it got that from Geodude and Graveler, but ok.

Bane: So comical yet haunting, a great “spirit” Pokemon and indication of what’s to come.

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.

Gen: the most simple Ghost design to date... not bad!

Red: I generally dislike ghost types, but I dislike the RBY ghost type in particular. Gastly is an unremarkable ball of gas. Makes him more interesting than some pokemon, but still.

Raka: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/2e/2e895ad9b8f15dbb07b15f86eba0c94ed3661880_full.jpg

Paratroopa: kinda like its scarier gen 1 sprite more

Wickle: I hated its anime appearance, I hated finding a million of these going up Vermillion Tower, I hated that it was basically the only ghost-type to appear in Morty's Gym since it was the only one that existed at the time, etc. Only thing good about it is itsghastly name. ohohohoho.

Wickle: Seahorse, lovely little Seahorse.

Natwaf: note serious face. I love the design. Those eyes, the fins... though it's more like bias due to his evo later on.

Red: I like Seadras design, I wish it had better stats. Unfortunately it evolves into Kingdra which is awful.

Starfox: I have to give it this: its design is a hell of a lot better than Kingdra’s.

Preston: <3 Water Types <3

Paratroopa: pretty much the fiercest depiction of a seahorse ever

Gen: I love that fierce look in its eyes. If it were half that fierce in battle I'd actually use one for more than water HM loading.

Bane: Tough seahorse, which is pretty cool. Also a nice shade of blue.

Anagram: Decently designed, but something about it never clicked for me

Raka: Metapod's evolution.

Natwaf: IT'S BUTTERFREE! Cuter than the Butterfree we got as well.

Wickle: Koga gave me a lot of respect for this Pokemon. It is the reason he rose into being an Elite 4 member.

Mana: Though I actually dislike Venomoth, to the point he's in my bottom eleven... All-Terrain Venomoth the Dragon-slayer deserves to be ranked above his prey. Plus, he's REALLY Butterfree.

Bane: Yet another elegant Pokemon, even though its eyes are kind of creepy. but its wings and purple color make up for it. (I just realized I love the color purple on Pokemon).

Gen: Bland and boring on any terrain, sorry. Pretty shade of purple though.

Stifled: I like it, not sure why.

Anagram: Fun fact: when I was eleven, I memorized all of the pokemon that existed at the time. Then I challenged myself to name all of them. Venonat and Venomoth were the only ones I couldn't remember. They aren't bad enough to hate and they aren't good enough to give a crap about.

https://community.wwe.com/diversity/programs/be-star

Anyways. Ponyta is a fire horse. Great design and Ponyta’s speed attribute is excellent. What else to say here? Ponyta is a very solid Pokémon overall.

Raka: What is friendhsip all about?

Red: Its a fire pony. You kind of get what you have advertised there.

Sanity: Muh Bugz

Paratroopa: they don't make enough absolutely horrifying pokemon like pinsir anymore

Magmortar: If you ask me, few Pokemon deserved to get a ridiculous Mega Evolution (or boost of similar scale) quite like Pinsir did. It’s this awesome Pokemon who has been in the shadows for basically every generation, except for 6 of course. It’s just a bone crusher. You do not want to be in a dark alley with a Pinsir. Being decent enough while having no STAB whatsoever for three gens is big coolness points, too

Natwaf: pinsir was just kinda there to me. Sure, it looked intimidating, ut eh.... AND THEN MEGA PINSIR. Scary as **** and legit dangerous.

Stifled: I would crap my pants if I ever encountered this thing in real life. He belongs in Resident Evil 4.

Raka: Inferior Scyther.

Bane: Scary but cool, but I would hate running into this thing myself.

Wickle: Creepiest bug type, and hence why I like it as much as I do. The first Guillotine... and it's mega is awesome.

Red: Why couldnt he just have good moves. Why didn they give Heracross stuff to be good and never fix Pinsir? Will never know.

Preston: Pinsir sounds like Spencer. I’m sure you’re all aware why I bothered to reference that in my write-up of Spenc…I mean Pinsir. I always preferred to play as Scyther instead of Pinsir in that Pokémon Stadium 2 log mini-game anyway. Overall? I’m iffy towards Pinsir. So meh.

Starfox: I hate bugs. I mean the real life ones. They creep the hell out of me. With the Pokemon, they’re genrally cartoonish enough that it doesn’t really affect me. Pinsir is the exception here. Now it still got points for looking pretty badass, but… its Mega? That s*** is straight out of hell. That thing is horrifying.

Preston: Sorry Preston, Gamefaqs doesn't like Wingdings.

Stifled: I had a plushie of him as a kid. KFC had a set of four.

Raka: So tiny and cute~ I want to bring it home.

Magmortar: Easy breeding. Really, all you need for it to be this high

Red: A pokemon that was worthless until we got the ability to breed our Pokemon. Now it is the Pokemon we throw into the daycare so it can transform and fool our Pokemon into breeding with it.

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.

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

Stifled: Angry tadpole monster thing.

Magmortar: Giant claw to break buildings with. I really wish this thing were better (give it Ice Punch, or make it a little faster, Aqua Jet even), but Kingler is just great. Also an anime highlight to me, seeing Ash pull it out in his first Elite Four challenge (while still a Krabby!) was awesome

Stifled: G00kie g00kie! He’s awesome in-game and Ash’s Kingler was one of his best Pokemon. So naturally he didn’t use him much.

Raka: Fierce.

Preston: http://www.pokedit.com/boards/ckfinder/userfiles/2/images/kingler.png

Bane: Has a huge underbite, I imagine it would be hard to chew food. But a huge crab is a huge crab. You could probably attack its weak point for massive damage.

Anagram: It's nowhere near as good as Meowth. I wish every single cat didn't evolve into something uglier.

Raka: Pretty nice looking.

Wickle: I hate its design... honestly... The only points it gets is being Giovanni's thing in the anime.

Stifled: I love cats but I've never been overly fond of jerk cat.

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.

Anagram: I don't understand people who insist it needs an evolution. The entire point is that it's useless.

Stifled: Leek spin Dux!

Wickle: He's already readied himself to be an excellent meal. (in all seriousness, I love his leek, but he's a meh Flying-type).

Raka: Evolution please.

Preston: The ugly duckling

Gen: Ditch the unibrow, then we'll talk about possible evolutions.

Comm: Never understood love. Hated the fixed nickname in RBY, horribly useless in battle, and a gimmick that completely failed for me.

Magmortar: Hitmonchan may have the better range of attacks but Hitmonlee can punish Ghosts hard and that High Jump Kick is just absolutely horrifying. The design has always appealed to me. It has no mouth, but YOU are going to be the one screaming when you suddenly discover that it is capable of taking out your whole squad in one or two hits. Extra speed too.

Raka: It's quite cool.

Preston: Hitmonlee kicks so much butt in SSB64.

Bane: The clear superior between Lee and Chan. Even when I first had to pick them, I automatically knew Hitmonlee was better.

Natwaf: The kicking fiend himself. Just look at those sexy, sexy legs.

Gen: While I will acknowledge Lee is better from a technical standpoint I will forever prefer Chan because of that winning charm and personality. Not to mention the pokémon (ahyuck I made a funny)!

Anagram: People always said it was better than Hitmonchan, but man, people are wrong. Always its face is a foot, I don't care if only I see it.

Wickle: Bruce has no arms. He misdefines gravity and his body-head looks dumb. But Kicking moves are boss, so he gets props there.

Preston: BIRD JESUS

Wickle: My first middle ever.

Gen: What feels like a long time ago, Otto was my fave of the line. I'm not sure when things changed exactly but I still regard it well obviously. I think Pidgeot looking more streamlined is what boosted it.

Bane: Great bird Pokemon, I love the slicked-back feathers on its head. Also the black marks around his eyes make him look hardcore.

Stifled: Ash's best supporting Pokemon early on.

Paratroopa: pidgeot but worse

Natwaf: NFE Trash of an inferior bird line. I never liked Ash's one as well.

Raka: It's a Pokemon I guess.

Sanity: One of my favs to use in Smash. Awesome in the show too.

Preston: OH MY GODDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE JIGGLYPUFF!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! YES!!!!! THANK GOD THEY DIDN’T TAKE HER OUT IN SMASH 4!!!!! YAY!!!!!! JIGGLYPUFF IS AWESOME!!!!! AAAAAAHHH!!!

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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B6bG3Q8lTA

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

Gen: What. A. B****.

Starfox: Ugh this thing. It already loses major points for doing the whole “so cute it’s annoying” thing. Throw in how obnoxious it is in the anime, and it’s pretty hard for me to not hate this thing. At least it’s better than Wigglytuff.

Stifled: Psy-yai-yai!

Paratroopa: loses points for not actually bird. clearly platypus or something.

Bane: Misty’s Psyduck made him a lot better, but I never really got him much. And I say that as a duck-lover. Although I like that he’s chubby.

Flubbin: Fun fact, when I was a kid I went as Psyduck for Halloween once. Good times.

Natwaf: Good points: the anime. Bad points: the anime.

Wickle: He has the cute pieces that come off the anime, and his poor headache. Outside of that however... I've never had any interest in it. Its use through the anime got old for being used every ep.

Raka: Worse than one bird and better than the other one.

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.

Starfox: Easily so much worse than the other two birds. Not even close here. And this is coming from someone who typically likes legendaries a lot.

Magmortar: Cool looking duck thing that blows your mind. Good for me. Kappa

Preston: Golduck is stylish and cool. I like that color. What is it? Electric Blue?

Stifled: He's so sleek and cool.

Paratroopa: is it a bird? sure I guess it's good enough

Bane: I like the shade of blue he is, and he is pretty cool. I like that he has red eyes

Wickle: He seems like he needs to be part Psychic.

Gen: I really WANT to like Golduck but something about its design has never clicked for me. However that one scene of the anime in which a Golduck rescues Misty from a fire and then macs on some nearby girls is amazing so yeah.

Raka: Eh, it's blue!

Natwaf: I LOVE the TCG card. Although I'm not entirely sure what the heck Electabuzz is supposed to be.

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.

Gen: It's such a shame this angry cat gorilla bear thing is so ugly because I hear it's sweet to use. And again what is GF's fascination with unibrows? At least it's got cool stripes.

Bane: Angry Pokemon with a unibrow, reminds me of a caveman. Except with electric powers. I do like how it’s black and yellow.

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.

Anagram: I was the only kid to catch one legitimately. Everyone was very jealous, I loved it.

Mana: Old staple of my RBY teams, even though he fell out of use after I learned what STAB was.

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.

Raka: Cool but underused.

Magmortar: Being really good in the newer gens after some middling performances gives it some big coolness points to me, but I’ve just never been a big guy on Cloyster. It might be that awful typing, or the fact it can’t take any real special hit.

Bane: This huge enclosed black pearl-like Pokemon is decent. Not much else to say. Lorelei had a cool one, and it always looks smug which I like.

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.

(c)AJ Lee

Those gems remind me I loved collecting gems in Spyro The Dragon. Good Pokémon in Staryu and Starmie.

Paratroopa: a classic

Gen: Guess what I am. I'm a bird. But seriously, dat rainbow crest! So tops.

Preston: This the biggest leap I think any other Pokemon has had regarding it’s entire evolution chain in my rankings.I had Pidgey all the way down in the 90’s and I have Pidgeot almost in the Top 20. Makes perfect sense I know. But yes Pidgeot is great. The fact that we haven’t seen Ash’s Pidgeot in the anime since 2000 is a bit of a bummer though.Ash Ketchum is the epitome of a killjoy.

Stifled: Dat hair. Also I hate Ash.

Raka: It's still a bird!

Paratroopa: for a bird, actually not that great

Bane: Still like the slicked back feathers it had as a Pidgeotto but I don’t like the yellow streak. Dunno why. Cool other than that, especially the ones Blue and Ash use. 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”. God damnit Ash.

Natwaf: It looks pretty. Sucks to high heaven though. I look forward to mega Pidgeot proving it's worth (though I doubt it)

Magmortar: One called “RIP Income” ended up being caught in my old FireRed Nuzlocke. It survived the whole game. Actually good for me in mostly every run I use it in, unlike Fearow it can take a hit once in a while.

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.

Paratroopa: could have done worse for a bee-based pokemon, could have done better too

Anagram: Immensely overrated. The concept is much better than the execution. Bees suck.

Preston: <3 Butterfree <3

Raka: Filler Pokemon.

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.

Preston: Aside from the fact that Charmeleon was an abrasive douchebag to Ash and co in the anime? I have no complaints with Charmeleon. Luckily Charmander was Charmeleon for only like three episodes anyway. Thank goodness.

Karo: it is so fluffy :3

Anagram: I like it because it looks the most like Eevee of all the evolutions, which makes sense. Yes, I know it's useless in pretty much every way possible.

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

Magmortar: Garbage. Not even. Mostly gets by here thanks to being an Eevee. As you can see, that doesn’t work out as well as it does for some other people.

Raka: Jungle dinosaur, who doesn't like that?

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: Hey, let’s make a turtle fluffier with a cloud tail. And yet it still looks like a badass. Especially the shade of blue he is.

Paratroopa: I got nothing

Natwaf: NFE Trash of my favorite Gen I Starter line, so points for that.

Preston: Out of all of the nine starters? Wartortle was probably my least favorite of the bunch. The middle child of all of the starters were not exactly fan favorites and at least Ivysaur was in Brawl and Charmeleon had the anime going for it. I don’t recall anything of note of Wartortle. Well besides the cool little bandana it wore in the Orange Islands saga. I believe it was in The Pokémon Water War episode. Not a bad Pokémon overall though.

I love the club, I love Bonemerang as its signature move (although I guess it’s not all that useful, I don’t care)… I just love everything about this guy. It’s always been a close race between my top three for this generation, and on the particular day that I made my list, he landed in the third spot. If I redid the list today, who knows which spot he’d have ended up in.

Karo: The idea behind a pokemon with multiple evolution branches is just awesome, and it is such a cute lil thing <3

Preston: I’ll never figure out why the hell it was so easy to breach through security at Game Freak Headquarters.

<3 Eevee <3

As of 2014? Eevee has the option to evolve into eight different Pokémon. EIGHT. With a number of options Eevee can evolve into sporting different types and colors? Chances are that there is at least one Eeveelution out there that will fit your play style.

Anagram: It's easy to forget that Eevee was originally the only pokemon with branching evolutions. It's so darn cute, too.

Starfox: Kinda put off by how much love this line gets when I feel like only two of them even kinda deserve it. But, it’s cute and the idea behind it is pretty awesome, I have to give it that.

Stifled: So cute, but its sole purpose is to evolve.

Bane: Adorable little thing, basic but meant to be. And has one of the coolest unique features in the series.

Magmortar: The many evolutions thing is a nice gimmick. It would be a better if more of them were good, though.

Natwaf: NFE Trash, and I LOATHE the eeveelution line. Well, I used to, at least. Their cuteness won me over for some of them. Not so much this one. Still adorable, especially in Pokemon Amie.

Raka: It sucks but hey eevelutions are cool.

Gen: More like Z-Z. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... But yeah the many things that it can evolve into I hold in much higher regard with a couple exceptions.

Preston: Butterfree is the Parvati Shallow of Pokémon. Butterfree is almost unmatched, when stacked against any other Pokémon. Psybeam, Confusion, Sleep Powder, man I love Butterfree. Butterfree was the very first Pokémon that Ash caught as a Caterpie and the first he let go in his party.
I really got choked up and nearly balled my eyes out when Butterfree left Ash for good in the “Bye Bye Butterfree” episode.

<3 Butterfree <3

Tennis: I love its toolbox of status effect moves: Confusion, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Poisonpowder. Plus you get to use it early in the game which is a plus.

Paratroopa: basically like a venonat with wings, which is weird if you think about it

Stifled: Status effect ninja.

Bane: Butterflies are awesome. And Ash’s Butterfree was awesome. Enough said.

Gen: That one fanart of it that uh... I think junk posted boosted it about ten or so spots for me. Damn someone put some hard work into that and it was gorgeous.

Natwaf: SADDEST POKEMON EPISODE EVER. And useful in the first gym. Totally evolves from Venonat. Wasn't expecting it or Beedrill to be dethroned as best early bug, TBQH, but Gen- oops, spoilers. But where mah Pink Butterfree at?

Raka: ;_;

Magmortar: Not the best or worst bug ever. It’s adequate. Quiver Dance has made it into something slightly threatening too

Magmortar: Ever since it unexpectedly appeared in a certain show that also features unicorns, I dunno, Rapidash suddenly grew on me. It’s always been fast, strong and pretty (although not the best in any of those categories) but more importantly it is great if you get to defeat one. These things provide kind of ridiculous amounts of experience points.

Raka: They sparkle in the twilight.

Gen: It truly is majestic. Not worth obsessing over, but beautiful to behold all the same. Something about the concept of a horse with fire for a mane is just striking and have you seen its shiny sprite? Omg...

Preston: There isn’t much to differentiate between both Ponyta and Rapidash. Both Ponyta and Rapidash are great Pokémon overall.

Tennis: It's cute, lovely, smart, amazing, stunning, kindly, warm and cuddly, spectacular, and ravishing!

Flubbin: I feel that Rapidash is often overlooked. When it comes to fire types in Gen 1, people always talk about Arcanine and Ninetales and Charizard, but Rapidash pretty rad too. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it would be awesome to ride a fire horse.

Karo: Sleek, graceful and beautiful. my lil water angel <3

Gen: To be honest I think the Eevee family is the third most overrated branch in the franchise (after Charmander's and Pikachu's for those of you playing the home game), but something about Vaporeon hits all the right notes.

Preston: <3 Vaporeon <3

Even if Acid Armor was pretty much useless to use in battle.

Paratroopa: affinity for aquatic things meets aversion to foxes. Arghrhg

Stifled: It's like The Angry Mermaid. Probably would have just slit Ursula's throat.

Raka: Elegant fox.

Natwaf: I like it. It's a pain to face against, but always a solid choice in your team. Sleek design too.

Starfox: The love this thing gets baffles me. I mean it’s not really offensive, like a certain other member of this family I could name, but it just looks so derpy. Plus the HP thing makes it super annoying.

Magmortar: The whole mermaid-dog thing I’ve always thought was actually kind of creepy, but it’s still kind of cute, and unlike a lot of other Eeveelutions its generally stayed a top pick in competitive. What an HP sponge.”

Bane: I know this will probably offend people, but I simply don’t like it. The others in the line look far better. I like its tail but not its ears or collar.

Flubbin: I never thought about the depth of Aerodactyl’s badassitude until I made this list. Holy hell, Aerodactyl is awesome. This dude can just rip you to shreds. I love it. Prehistoric times in the Pokemon universe must have been horrifying with Aerodactyls and Omastars and Kabutops running around everywhere.

Anagram: I've always loved Aerodactyl and I always will. Tell me you don't think it's great.

Starfox: I like him a fair bit, but how much changes a lot. His mega’s design definitely didn’t do him any favors, but I didn’t really factor that in here.

Paratroopa: yeah

Natwaf: DEATH FROM ABOVE! Nice Mega too. That said, even though it's pretty great to use... I've never been afraid of facing one, despite it's Speed and Attack. I dunno, they always die to one or two hits without leaving a lasting mark.

Raka: Never used it but I heard eh use stelfth rok and isnt afraid of anything

Stifled: I feel like I should like him more than I do.

Bane: Prehistoric Pokemon rule! One look and you know it’s prehistoric, and an awesome one at that.

Preston: The fight between Aerodactyl and Charizard in the anime was too short-lived, that there wasn’t much there for me to prosper at. I’ve seen Charizard have better fights in the Orange Islands saga. Aerodactyl did make the Pewter City museum seem to have some kind of a purpose so meh I guess.

Gen: I've always preferred my Rock/Water fossils and it's not just because they're not as ugly, though that is a pretty weighty factor. Underbites can be cute, but only on like pugs and stuff. I do enjoy laughing at Aero's mega forme though. Dat spike beard lol~

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.

Preston: Did you happen to read my Sandshrew write-up?

Bane: Cool spikes on back, huge claws and can dig. Pretty neat stuff.

Paratroopa: sleek and attractive and totally f***able I mean well-designed

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.

Magmortar: Just a dragon, but an alright dragon. Better than other middle forms of psuedo-legendaries.

<3 Pikachu <3

Raka: Rightfully iconic. It's just adorable and wobbly.

Anagram: I truly believe that had it not been the face of the franchise, a lot of fans would claim it's their favorite. It's just so perfectly designed, Jesus Christ.

Karo: the most famous pokemon of them all, and for good reason. he has just so much charisma.

Bane: I had to get to Pikachu at some point. The mascot of the series and for good reason. Adorable, small, unique design, and one of the main characters of the anime.

Stifled: The mascot! He's everywhere and for good reason. So cute

Sanity: He's cool in Smash.

Paratroopa: only the chubby gen 1 version though, way cuter

Magmortar: Little spotlight stealing rat that shows up in everything that has been invented and more things that have yet to be despite being little more than an annoying little dunce that’s just there to remind me of how unbelievably bad the anime has become and why I do not play Smash 64 as often as I should. Above Chansey since Light Ball Pikachu was a fun thing in earlier generations (although now its terrible).

Stifled: My girlfriend's mother.

Flubbin: get a job get a life

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.

Gen: If I could be any pokemon I'd choose to be this guy, Eat, sleep. and inconvenience others all day I mean why the f*** do anything else?

Natwaf: Oozes coolness. The design is awesome, I love using it's card, pretty damn important in my Mono-Poison LG team, and Sheer Force is just nifty.

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.

Paratroopa: much funnier when you realize it's kind of hilariously short

Paratroopa: probably the pokemon I most wish existed in real life

Natwaf: lol Water/Ice. That said, the design is great, and XY having a special sprite for it is icing on the cake. Pretty useful in my HG Mono-Water team, the STAB Ice helped kill Lance and Clair when I'm underleveled.

Gen: Who wouldn't want to ride on one across a vast sea? So friendly-looking and helpful on any team.

Magmortar: Lapras is a staple Pokemon to me. It’s basically the perfect Pokemon at the point in the game you get it. It’s bulky, it’s got a great movepool that is seemingly designed to help out for the rest of the game, and it looks amazing.

Tennis: LOVE its RB sprite. http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/017/4/6/charmander_sprite_by_kriss80858-d5rs7zg.png

Raka: Iconic and slightly pitiable.

Preston: <3 Charmander <3

Bane: Small but wants to be tough, it was the perfect introduction to a fire-type Pokemon. In Pokemon Snap I loved messing with them on the Volcano and in the anime its episode was sad but sweet. Not to mention that it’s cute.

Anagram: Very good, but eclipsed by its final evolution.

Gen: Yeah it's cute but I have almost no nostalgia for it. Okay.jpg.

Paratroopa: it's a reptile of some kind so I'm contractually obligated

Sanity: Worst voice on the show.

Magmortar: It begins a mostly stellar line, so it has that. Metal Claw in FRLG made it a little better I guess. First form starters have never been very appealing to me, with some exceptions.

Paratroopa: a popular pokemon that I think is cool. Whooooooa

Natwaf: MEGA PUNCH! FOLLOWED BY A MEGA KICK! I evolved my Pikachu in Yellow and never looked back. Awesome.

Stifled: USE YOUR BODY SLAM!

Bane: The often-overlooked evolution of the series mascot, he’s cool in his own right. I love his long lightning-bolt tail and how he retains the cuteness from Pikachu, something that rarely happens with evolutions.

Raka: Chubby chubby in my tummy.

Preston: I definitely know I’m going to get criticized for putting Raichu barely in the middle of my rankings but let me explain. Here’s a group photo of my entire collection of Pokémon Plushies.

i1350.photobucket.com/albums/p769/PrestonStarry/Mobile%20Uploads/20140219_094122_zps85zmjeng.jpg

Everyone is present and accounted for (besides Eevee) Eevee now belongs to Snake5555555555. Someone else won Totodile in the Pokémon Plushie lottery. Long story short. I gave my Raichu plushie away to a big, fat, white guy I met back in High School named Linden that I thought was my friend as a gift. Linden has yet to repay anything to me in return and he ended up removing me as a friend on Facebook. The douchebag. I have no idea what he may have done to my Raichu plushie and I don’t want to find out. Deep deep information I know but I can’t live with myself to put Raichu any higher than this.

Natwaf: THE best ghost design for quite a long damn while. So much better than Gengar's. Ya go my Black Fog.

Gen: Looks like a cat but has big feets like a bunny. That's a nice combo. The world should have more kitty-bunnies like Ryo-Ohki. Oops I digressed. It's a total TM whore, but I mean that in the best way possible and uh...

Preston: <3 Mew <3

Can someone spare me a copy of Pokémon Snap?

Natwaf: Mew's adorable. And powerful early in pokemon. And I will always love it for being my HM Slave in HG. But if you think Mew is unpredictable then LOL.

Raka: It's nice that it can use all ze TMs.

Stifled: The rich man's HM slave.

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.

Anagram: I've never seen a pokemon list without Arcanine in the top twenty.

Stifled: Manages to be elegant, adorable, and a total ass kicker all at the same time.

Tennis: Should have been a holographic rare in the base-set. http://www.serebii.net/card/base/23.jpg How awesome would that have been?

Bane: So fluffy! Just imagine running through fields on his back.

Raka: So majestic.

Magmortar: It could have used that now-gigantic movepool a lot earlier. It’s a Legendary Pokemon, man…one in species name only, but a Legendary! Sweet lion-esque dog with some crazy stats and impressive abilities. All-around good Pokemon.

Preston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFgfPAcYWT8

Natwaf: Look at that sexy BST and majestic design. However, I always found it to be kinda meh when I had the opportunity to use it.

Natwaf: Freakin' awesome. Thunderbird (well, crow) truly is the best of the three. Better have a Rock/Ground ready to counter it. And I LOVE using a deck in the GBC game that contains nothing but the Legendary Zapdos. EAT FREE 30 AND 70 DAMAGE ****ER!

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.

Tennis: First Pokemon I ever chose! Leech Seed is a useful move.

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. In 3D games like the Stadiums and such, when it gets hit, it takes some levitating relaxation time.

Flubbin: Alakazam has a fabulous mustache and is smarter than me. Such a classy gentleman.

Raka: I hated trading until the 6th gen, sooo…

Natwaf: Awesome. The design is cool, the stat spread + ability is a match made in heaven, and SKULKRAKEN! Then it got a Mega... turning into Water/Dark. Oh man the outrage was hilarious. 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: The Zapdos of the sea, it just wants to devour your face or whatever. Only cool because it evolves from Magikarp, but thats it.

Bane: The excellence in elegance, I honestly would question anyone who says they don’t like Ninetales even a little bit. Similar to a fox, which I really like, and can live for 1,000 years. The original Higher-Being-like Pokemon for me, it’s so mystical and enthralling.

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.

Stifled: So elegant. But Vulpix is better.

Natwaf: It looks elegant, majestic, and other such descriptions. Too bad it's weak , but hey, it has Drought.

Starfox: Definitely one that I don’t understand the love for at all. I mean it’s not bad, it’s just… so… meh. Maybe it’s because it’s so feminine, I dunno.

Paratroopa: it's literally just a kitsune, not impressed

Stifled: Smirky, tricky, possibly evil ghost that I adore.

Magmortar: I really did not care for Gengar at first, but suddenly in Gen 4 it really grew on me. 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.

Preston: Gengar is awesome.Gengar is a beast of a Pokémon and with an array of moves like Shadow Ball, Bite, Crunch, Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Confusion and Confuse Ray. It’s hard to do better Gengar.

Natwaf: Worst design of the ghost trio of Gen I, but it's power is undeniable. Fast, hits hard (lol Ghost being physical. WTF), trollish ability (man it's not even levitating), and can even put stuff to sleep. Beware Clefable's Shadow.

Paratroopa: pretty much every ghost that has come after him is way cooler, gengar is just boring

Mana: Pin Missile + Speed + Electric = Jolty.

Stifled: Best Eeveelution? Yep. Best electric type? Yep. Best Pokemon ever? Nope, but pretty close!

Red: Second favorite Eevee of the generation, that gets him ranked quite highly.

Magmortar: I told myself when ranking, ‘I am not going to rank an Eeveelution high, I don’t care about them, I’M NOT MOST POKEMON FANS’, it turned out I had one exception. 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. Jolteon doesn’t do much, but what it does do, it is really, really good at. And it kind of has a mane! Awww yeah.

Preston: More manly than Zeus.

Bane: Another Pokemon I didn’t really like until fairly recently. It looks like what it represents; fast and agile like lightning. I honestly could put him up higher but here he is. I especially like the pointed ears.

Raka: Spiky fox.

Paratroopa: ugh I guess I'm going to associate jolteon with anonymous mafia for the rest of my life

Natwaf: Looks neat, and it's speed makes it one to watch out for, but eh Eeveelution.

Raka: My first Level 100 Pokemon! Still quite…cool. If you squint.

Natwaf: Best gen I starter. Look at those sexy, sexy cannons. Mega was great, and I love that moment in Origins where Charizard punched Blastoise, and he does not give a ****. Neat that it can learn Earthquake and Ice Beam/Blizzard to cover it's weaknesses. Truly the best choice.

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.

Magmortar: Blastoise blows…a lot of Pokemon out of the water with those cannons on its shell!”

Stifled: Looks super cool. Needs more attack power to go with that defense though.

Paratroopa: it's a turtle with cannons on its back so yeah that works

Red: Squirtle was my first starter in RBY, but Blastoise ended up my least favorite of the fully evolved trio. With Venusaur being on my main team and Charizard basically being a dragon, there wasnt much hope for the oversized water cannon turtle.

Starfox: The definition of badass

Bane: Two shape blades as arms? Check. Is there anymore I need to add? I like the shade of green he is as well.

Paratroopa: gen 1 had a lot of good bugs

Natwaf: Looks badass, though I still wonder why that anime ep had Scyther vs Electabuzz. Oh well, guess they're saving. Magmar for Blaine. The fact that it has the same BST as it's evo is neat. Don't stick an Eviolite on it though.

Magmortar: It has scythes for arms. Do you need anything else?

Raka: Damn cool for a bug Pokemon.

Preston: I remember Scyther having great fisticuffs with Ash’s Bulbasaur one time in the anime. Scyther is pretty cool and laid back. Even if I’m not a bug collector at all.

Stifled: The Scyther and Electabuzz gyms made for a good episode.

Red: Scythes for arms...thats a little impractical. Still cool, if totally worthless competitively.

Tennis: Sorry, I just never liked it much. I understand why people do though.

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.

Stifled: For the ultimate in badassery, accept no substitutes. Once I saw that fire breathing dragon in front of me the first time I knew nothing would ever top him.

Raka: You'll hear me roar; Oh oh oh oh oh oh; You're gonna hear me roar…

Flubbin: I don’t know what to say about Charizard that hasn’t already been said. Charizard is such a bro. I have a Charizard keychain on my lanyard right now. It’s awesome. Everyone should respect the Zard.

Tennis: I still remember when I pulled it's $35 trading card out of a booster pack. I think my heart skipped a beat. I still have a complete collection of the first four TCG sets. http://thetopcut.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Charizard.jpg

A kid stole it from me but my friends and I found out where he lived. All I will say is we got it back.

Preston: I have the strangest feeling in my gut that Charizard is going to end up winning this whole thing.
But there’s no mistaking that Charizard is awesome with the baditude level cranked up to 11. I remember how Charizard would have the zaniest and coolest dogfights with other Pokémon in the show.

<3 Charizard’s Seismic Toss Attack And You Would See The Earth Spinning <3

http://i.imgur.com/KXk8F.gif

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.

Also: i.imgur.com/dDeIrme.png

Bahahah

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.

http://videogamemm.com/main/sites/default/files/images/100_5807.preview.jpg

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: mewtwo can f*** right off, I hate this thing
