Revision as of 03:54, 23 December 2015
This is the 6th part of Board 8 Ranks Pokemon.
Steiner hosted this part of the project. Board 8 users sent lists to him that ranked the Gen 6 Pokemon from #1 to #72, with #1 being that user's favorite Pokemon and so on. Steiner 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.
Steiner started posting the rankings on June 21, 2015, and finished on July 10.
Users Participating In The Gen VI Pokemon Rankings
The panel of judges was 42 Board 8 users. This was noticeably less than Gens 2-5 for whatever reason.

Steiner's Spreadsheet
Steiner added everyone's rankings into a spreadsheet as each Pokemon was revealed. He also made functions that can automatically calculate things such as number of spot on rankings for each user, solo highest rankings, and so on.
Nick's and Ermine's Pokecasts
Nick and Ermine made a series of podcasts for this project. Episode 9.5 was the first one for Gen VI.

StifledSilence: BUT IT WASN'T A ROCK! IT WAS A ROCK LOB…no, wait. It's a rock.
Wicklebee: #688, the rock hands pokemon. This pokemon is ears of a Bunnelby that were cut off and then posessed with the ghosts of hermit crabs.
Natwaf: NFE Trash
Deadpool: More eh things!
Cybat: I would bet money that there is a kid's show in Kalos about this thing. Just look at those faces.
KommunistKoala: Uh...huh
MegamanX: I don't get how this thing survives or moves
ctesjbuvf: Forgettable as hell.
Genny: The only positive thing I can say about this guy is well... at least it isn't its evolved form.
Anagram: I am a grown-ass man. I have no excuse for having thought this was a pie with hands coming out of it until someone told me that it was obviously a barnacle.
SuorGenoveffa: The phallic references in pokémon are REALLY getting out of hand.
PrinceKaro: The most horrifying pokemon line in existence.
swordz9: This thing is so dumb looking, but not even in a funny way.
Raka_Putra: This Pokemon is so disgusting and ugly I couldn't believe my eyes at first. This must be a ploy by Nintendo to make people throw their 3DS's out due to disgust so they will buy new units. Best example of recent corporate deviousness.
Inviso: You know how I hate on Water/Ground-types? Well Water/Rock-types are equally overused. It's like they're aware of how lame Grass is as an attack type in most situations, so they go out of their way to create situations where Grass-types can be 4x effective. But back to Binacle itself...this thing looks terrible. It looks creepy and unpleasant and its evolution isn't all that much better. It's just a waste of my time (and I hate having to break rocks and deal with infinite Dwebbles in order to catch one of these suckers for Pokedex completion.
OrangeCrush: What the Heldeo is this abomination? A rock with 2 arms, and the arms have faces??? Sorry Palkia, when I called you the worst Pokemon, clearly I forgot about Binacle.
Ermine: Awful awful awful awful... what were they thinking?
Para: oh no

Wicklebee: #665, the methane pokemon. Don't touch it, it smells like farts and will paralyze you with its stench.
Para: mostly ranked this high because I like it in smash 4 when he comes out of a pokeball and just stares at you
Deadpool: Eh. Bette caccoon then most but still just a caccoon and those are never that good.
SuorGenoveffa: Still unsure about what it does in Smash, still cooler than Scatterbug.
Natwaf: NFE Trash
Genny: I love this pokémon's anime voice so much and it shames me there's probably no clip of it I can share with you. Anyhoo I always feel so bad for cocoon pokes because outside of the first generation due to nostalgia purposes, and the fifth generation due to the design team actually attempting to make them cool and unique, no one is ever going to care about them. Well I care about you, Spewpa. Haha sorry that was a white lie.
swordz9: It almost looks like it has confetti thrown into the design. It's a cute middle stage Bug
StifledSilence: Badminton, anyone?
Raka_Putra: It's a mistranslation of its Japanese name. A better translation would be 'Phimosis'.
KommunistKoala: I kinda dig the cloak or whatever you wanna call it..
ctesjbuvf: Very forgettable and has a boring design. Smash saves it from a bottom spot.
MegamanX: Disgusting snot cocoon.
Inviso: Pretty much the same issues I have with Scatterbug, except it's evolved, so it's a LITTLE bit stronger. That being said, because it starts at level 8, that means you're waiting FOUR levels before it actually becomes useful, and you get Vivillon 2 levels after you would normally get Beedrill/Butterfree/Beautifly/Dustox, so that sucks.
Cybat: What an…appealing name you have there. A (comparatively) visually interesting take on the cocoon stage, it still doesn't do much to stand out. For some reason he gets to be in Smash 4.
PrinceKaro: named thus cause it makes anyone who looks at it spew up their lunch.
Ermine: Borefest 2015
XIII: Well, y'know. It's an early game bug-type. They're very rarely good.
OrangeCrush: I sympathized with the Hoenn cocoons, but this thing is awful. It would've been #72 if it weren't for the worst evolution line ever.
Anagram: There are a lot of bad pokemon out there. Spewpa is one of them. Its design is lazy and its only purpose is to look sort of cocoonish, when we've already seen every possible use of a cocoon.

Deadpool: Cute little bug
StifledSilence: Don't ask me why but I find this little guy to be super cute.
MegamanX: Uglier caterpie.
Natwaf: NFE Trash
Raka_Putra: I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them. *cues creepy 1930s black and white cut footage of the dance number 'Scatterbug'*
Wicklebee: #664, the worm pokemon. Sad as it will never be used because it's just another dumb thing.
swordz9: I wonder how many write-ups will mention Tim Burton
Cybat: "Scatterbug is a combination of scatter and bug." This is the kind of insight I expect from Bulbapedia.
SuorGenoveffa: They really went out of their way to make the worm pokémon... ugly as sin, this time.
Genny: I feel like this creature was only spawned to end the debate on which early route Bug pokémon was the ugliest. Go on back home Wurmple. You're off the hook, Burmy. We have a new winner.
Anagram: "I know what this series needs: more indistinguishable bugs."
Inviso: Only new Bug-type added to this generation is the traditional early-game forest capture in Scatterbug. It's not TERRIBLE, but I do hate that it takes a level longer than Weedle/Caterpie/Wurmple to evolve, especially since it's really no different from Caterpie when you think about it.
OrangeCrush: Shitty generic bug
PrinceKaro: *stomp* *smash* *squish*
ctesjbuvf: More bug fodder yay.
Para: kinda looks like olaf from frozen. but worse, somehow
XIII: Go away

mcflubbin: I'm probably going to catch a lot of flak for this, but goddamn I love Aromatisse. Move over Jynx, cuz Aromatisse is the new baddest bitch in town. During my first playthrough of Y, she wrecked the entire Elite 4 singlehandedly. What a fucking beast. She has the best cry in the entire series and I seriously crack up whenever I hear it. Aromatisse deserves way more love.
Para: weirdly appealing in a completely bizarre way
XIII: This one makes me think of Mershiness
Genny: Can-can can I do the can-can? Why yes I can-can, thanks for asking man-man. J'aime. No apologies. Baiser les ennemis.
hotdogturtle: It's like a parallel universe Musharna. It trades a bit of stats for the VERY NICE ability to be perma-immune to Taunt.
Natwaf: One of the two version specific fat fairies. This one's a cleric, so it's boring AND ugly.
ctesjbuvf: Ugly fairy just to have some fairy, but good Pokemon I guess.
Wicklebee: #683, the scented cottonball pokemon. After being rejected as a small bird, it just wrapped its feathers around itself and turned aesexual.
Ermine: Ugh get away from me.
Anagram: I know that the fairy type is actually really good… but the actual pokemon themselves not so much.
MegamanX: Looks like a long lost rejected Seasme Street character
Sanity: This thing is pretty scary looking.
Cybat: I am completely baffled with the way they handled fairies in XY. Did they not think that, after they added an entirely new type, people might want to use a new Pokemon of that type on their ingame team? Yet the only new ones available are three single-stage mons, one you have to evolve with a silly gimmick, two legendaries, two lines that are completely unappealing AND have to be traded to evolve, and a line that needs a stone to evolve and has a thoroughly underwhelming moveset. What the fuck?!
SuorGenoveffa: Are you showing off your leg because you think you're a sassy b****? No sweetheart, you look like a fat desperate prostitute. With a bushy vag nonetheless.
Deadpool: Stupid and fucking ugly bird. So horrible. And yet two people manage to be even shittier :/
KommunistKoala: Fuck this thing is hideous
StifledSilence: I bet fans of Serperior love this awful thing because it's another example of something fuck ugly being extremely smug.
Raka_Putra: No
Scepter: This is when I realized there was something wrong with this gen
swordz9: I thought nothing would top Jynx in the ugly department, but I was wrong
Inviso: People give Lopunny a lot of s*** for being gross furrybait, but you wanna talk a really freakish and whore-y design? Look no further than Aromatisse, which is like a combination of a Dark Age doctor with a burlesque dancer creating a grotesque abomination that would fit right into the Silent Hill franchise, but has no goddamn business being in a Pokemon game. This thing is more actively offensive than JYNX ffs.

Deadpool: Less cute then Chespin but still pretty cute.
Raka_Putra: It's like a sentient armored ball…so silly. Yet I like it.
StifledSilence: It's the closest to cute that hideous and possibly diseased will ever be.
XIII: I like this weird little circle guy! He makes me laugh. He reminds me of Swadloon in a way.
MegamanX: This thing looks like it has some mental hardships :(. I don't get what happened in this evolutionary line.
KommunistKoala: Kind of a cute plump little ball. How this becomes Chesnaught I still don't know.
Inviso: People talk so much s*** about Quilladin, and while I'll admit it's not the best Pokemon ever, I don't see why it's so deserving of scorn and disdain. I personally find it adorable. It's like a pudgy little ball of cuteness.
SuorGenoveffa: Grass Pignite is at least better than Pignite.
mcflubbin: Kind of reminds me of Teddie from Persona 4 for whatever reason.
swordz9: So awkward he started making a shell to hide in
OrangeCrush: Pignite was so well-received that Gamefreak gave us an encore!
PrinceKaro: what? chespin is evolving! .... holy jesus christ, press b! press b!
Ermine: Lmao wtf happened to you Chespin. Between Chespin and Chesnaught something went horribly wrong. I guess you have to become ugly before you become badass...?
Sanity: Awkward fat middle evolution.
ctesjbuvf: boring forgettable middle evolution.
Wicklebee: #651, the obese pokemon. After being upset earlier in life, he went to indulge himself in ice cream and many other sweets. His smile is all the sugar rush.
Para: oh my god. I hate you
Anagram: Quilladin is simply Pignite v.2. This is the rough equivalent to Doctor Wily deciding to build another robot master and making a ripoff of like Bubble Man.
Steiner: This might be the ugliest Pokemon ever. It looks like a meme face shopped onto a Pokemon.
Genny: It's bad enough that you look like Pignite with a Pinocchio nose, but then this thing looks so goddamn happy about it. "I'm PROUD to be an even dumber-looking knock off of something every sane person didn't like just last generation!" Be not proud, Quilladin. Be not proud at all.
Natwaf: NFE Trash

Wicklebee: #685, the cherry on top pokemon. After years of eating itself someone baked it into a cupcake. Still want to eat itself but can only get the cream that its hair and the neck brace.
MegamanX: I really enjoy how bizarre this thing is.
Sanity: The hair kinda ruins this one for me. But still, the :P is strong.
swordz9: Candy monster with derp face. Sure to be a #1 for maybe 1-2 people at least.
Natwaf: One of the two version specific fat fairies. This one is offensive, with Unburden. If you manage to pull off a Belly Drum, better be careful of this cotton candy dog. I think it's a dog. At least.
Ermine: You know what, I don't mind Slurpuff. I don't understand how so many people are saying that Slurpuff is one of the ugliest pokemon ever. Like, it's not even close at all. Sure it's not amazing or great at all but really... there's at least 200 pokemon more ugly than this guy. At least. He's alright in my books.
Genny: By all accounts I should hate this dumb slobbering thing, but I look at its stupid expression and my heart melts a little. It's still dumb, but not dumb enough to incur my hate.
Inviso: Another Fairy-type ranked low? Well maybe if they weren't spending a bunch of slots in this generation trying to create new Pokemon that fit a type that is nowhere near as cool as Steel or Dark were in Gen II, this wouldn't be a problem. Slurpuff is kinda ugly, but not terrible...it's just dumb.
OrangeCrush: Could've been good, but his tongue sticking out ruined him.
Raka_Putra: Ugly tub of lard, I hope it melts into a puddle.
StifledSilence: It's like the lovechild between Poshul from Chrono Cross and Quina from Final Fantasy 9.
ctesjbuvf: Ugly fairy just to have some fairy and not even that good.
Deadpool: Stupid cotton candy thing
XIII: The hell is this thing.
Anagram: Garbage, and ugly garbage at that.
Para: oh god so much uglier than swirlix what the fuck happened
Cybat: This looks more like a tutorial character from a Flash game than a Pokemon. At least it is probably delicious.
KommunistKoala: The fairies in this gen were not a convincing prototype, to say the lesat. This is an abomination.
SuorGenoveffa: Pokémon's official representation of Satan.

Para: I like it 'cause it almost looks like a weird bird if you squint hard enough
MegamanX: I don't hate it but it reminds me of a run away muppet
Natwaf: NFE Trash
Genny: A combination hummingbird perfume dispenser with flamingo coloration. I love it. Sometimes a concept is so outlandish it works.
Raka_Putra: Surprisingly better than its evo. It's kinda funky, but not offensively bad.
swordz9: If Spritzee knew what they evolved into they would keep an Everstone on them at all times. Too bad this thing got such a bad evolution
Anagram: I would like this pokemon a lot more if it was a bottle of Windex and you had to spritz it on bad pokemon like Slurpuff to reveal that they're actually mediocre pokemon, like Dodrio, with some gunk on them
Deadpool: It is an ok bird… but its evolution is so horrible it lost points there
Ermine: Ugh
Inviso: Rounding out my bottom 10 is the NFE of the worst Gen VI Pokemon. Really, Spritzee isn't BAD per say, I just never feel compelled to use it because f*** using Aromatisse, and f*** using an NFE throughout the entire game. I'm not Ermine, and this is not Spritziggy.
SuorGenoveffa: Still not even sure what this is, is it a bird? Or something with a huge f***ing nose.
Wicklebee: #682, the pink fluff beak pokemon. This pokemon wishes it was cute but it never gets any dates because its nose is worse than a certain rock line.
Cybat: I understand the "plague doctor" thing. And the perfume theme is kind of clever too. But the result of the execution is just so unpleasant.
KommunistKoala: Almost can appreciate this...but not really.

Raka_Putra: Umm well it barely exists because I can barely remember it. Poor guy. It's not you, it's your ecological habitat.
Deadpool: Ahaha it is frozen piss in its shiny form. Ice thing does nothing for me but has nothing I dislike about it
Wicklebee: #712, the melting pokemon. An aspiring bug that constantly gets in the freezer and is forced to thaw out. Occasionally Tyrunt sees the spike on its head and believes it to be its rival, so begins to fight with this pokemon.
Para: pretty much forgot about him entirely
Natwaf: NFE Trash
Cybat: Pretty forgettable, but…has there really not been a Pokemon that's just a chunk of ice until now? *Checks* Eh, Regice, Glalie, and Cryogonal are borderline, but I think they all count as different design origins.
Genny: Why isn't this Ice/Bug with a name and an image like that? Oh well.
KommunistKoala: I forgot Avalugg even had a first stage
Inviso: It's an NFE that's basically just a walking icicle. If you're gonna call it BergMITE, at least have the decency to create a new typing and make Ice/Bug instead of making a pure Ice-type one generation after we got three of those.
ctesjbuvf: I literally couldn't remember this at first and the generation only had 69 Pokemon upon release. That says a lot.
swordz9: Why didn't they make it Bug/Ice for something new and to go along with the whole termite iceberg hybrid thing?
StifledSilence: Does…does it have canon down syndrome? I mean those eyes…yikes.

Para: it's cute, too bad it's completely beside the point
Cybat: I love its base stat distribution; go look at it if you haven't seen it. Anyway, it's a shame it's only a single-stage line, but this guy has a cool typing and still can be useful. Of course, he's completely overshadowed by Diancie, but maybe there will be some more concrete connection between the two.
SuorGenoveffa: I'm fascinated with Carbink for some reason, it looks so pretty and is cool as a tank/support pokémon.
Natwaf: I dunno, I find it kind of cute. Bulky as ****, in fact, it's kind of like Shield Forme Aegislash. Too bad it can't actually damage stuff unless it pulled off multiple stat boosts.
Deadpool: Bleh doing all these write-ups in the middle where my opinion is eh is boring. This thing of some sort is eh
Anagram: I will never understand why Nintendo persists in making crappy single stage pokemon that obviously need evolutions
ctesjbuvf: Why Diancie has a pointless follower randomly placed in the generation, I don't really get. It's also boring.
MegamanX: Single evolution random gem pokemon. K.
Genny: I don't quite get... why this is a thing...
Inviso: I don't even know how they managed to make a Rock/Fairy type, but I guess adding "ink" to the name makes everything okay. I feel bad for Carbink, a little bit. It's connected to Diancie, but doesn't actually have involvement with Diancie. And it's a tank, apparently, so that's okay. I've just never had a reason to use one.
Raka_Putra: I actually had to use Google to remember what this Pokemon looked like…yeah.
XIII: So goddamn boring.
Wicklebee: #703, the salt pokemon. The mithril is under the salt.
swordz9: Is there something hiding under the eyes or is the whole thing just a sad rock being without a whole face?

Inviso: It outranks its evolution by a lot based solely on the fact that it's probably the objectively cutest Fairy-type in the generation. Everything else looks like a bit of a disaster, but Swirlix just looks like a cloud had a baby with the Staypuft Marshmallow Man.
Alanna82: makes me hungry

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Inviso: One of the rare new Poison-types, Skrelp has a bad design, and honestly, were it not such a cool new typing, I probably never would've used one myself (Clawitzer is so cool). It's like an anorexic Horsea without any of the cuteness associated with Horsea.
OrangeCrush: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/164/c/7/skrelp_by_garvals-d68wof7.jpg
Wicklebee: #690, the seaweed pokemon. This pokemon has been mutated since the original oil spill in the Atlantic Ocean, then it proceeded to swim to the Indian ocean and gathered up much dirt. It seeks to mate with Horsea but Horsea wishes to have nothing to do with Skrelp.
Genny: Guys sea dragons look completely awesome, floating around like bosses. So why does a pokémon based on one look like a sad wadded up Quik Trip bathroom paper towel?

MegamanX: I will get a lot of hate for this but I think this thing is hilariously funny to look at. It's like an ant going to war with a flower as an airship
Wicklebee: #669, the flower hugger pokemon. If this pokemon was not hanging onto that flower, it would fly into the wind and be eaten by an Aerodactyl of all things.
SuorGenoveffa: A small pixie travelling the world on a flower, it also comes in a variety of colors. Sign me up. XIII: I love saying the name of this one. FLA BAY BAY
Raka_Putra: So puny I'm afraid I'd just crush it if I threw a Pokeball at it…but hey it's cute.
Inviso: I like the concept of having one of the new Fairy-types being small and cute, but this thing really should've been Fairy/Grass (seriously, there's 5 pure Fairy lines in this Gen…it doesn't need all four). Also, its name bugs me for having the accents in it. Makes it tough to write.
mcflubbin: Everytime I say Flabébé I do it in this ridiculous, over the top French accent and I can't stop myself please help.
Cybat: Great, now there are Pokémon with accents in their names too. Thanks, Gamefréak. Man are its two abilities useless :(
Natwaf: NFE Trash
Genny: This is the first pokémon with accents in its name right? It's admittedly pretty adorable, but I dunno if it's worthy enough for such a distinction. Well it's solid enough for the first new pokémon of its type to be revealed (right?).

Sanity: More Pikachus are never a bad thing. This one looks good.
MegamanX: Its cute but doesn't do much for me
Natwaf: Another Pikachu clone, but at least Fairy/Electric is unique. Too bad it SUCKS!
Para: as far as electric rodents go, not one of my faves
Raka_Putra: It's like some factory worker broke the Raichu mold and try to glue it together from memory…and they came up with this. It's just so derivative that it doesn't have any variable.
swordz9: Another non-evolving electric rat. At least Dedenne is a Fairy even if it gets nothing good there move wise. It's not bad, but I really wish one of these Pikachu ripoffs would evolve if they insist on making new ones all the time.
Genny: Hey look, Pikachu is back! This time as a gerbil. Initially I hated this thing, but its somewhat major anime role has cooled me on it enough that I think it's okay.jpg.
StifledSilence: But the guardian of Earth is a green dude.
ctesjbuvf: Generic and completely useless. So boring in the anime too. It's just there and has absolutely no personality.
Wicklebee: #702, the stab victim pokemon. After attempting to pass off as a Pikachu, this pokemon was taken by an infant who jabbed sticks into the cheeks of this pokemon, its small hands has made it impossible to pull them out.
SuorGenoveffa: Looks like a baby Raichu without the things that make Raichu cool. Being not completely useless, for one.
Inviso: This thing is awful. I mean, it annoys me how every generation there's some sort of Pikachu clone, as though GameFreak wants to recapture lightning in a bottle with Pikachu (pro tip on that, if you want there to be a new Pikachu, maybe stop putting Pikachu in every damn game so people can just catch one instead of your s***-tier newbies. Dedenne is fat and gross and looks more like old-school Pikachu than the fast little mouse we know nowadays. It feels like it was created solely to showcase the Fairy type, and for that, it deserves a low placement.
Anagram: I'm generally not a fan of cutesy things, but I accept their purpose and usefulness. But why in God's name did you have to make such a blatant ripoff of Raichu? Even by notpikachu standards this is blatant.
Cybat: I know people throw around the "they aren't even trying anymore" card a lot with Pokemon design, and I don't want the phrase to lose its meaning. That said. They aren't even trying anymore. Go home, Dedenne.
mcflubbin: Uggggh when X & Y came out, my terrible, disgusting, dumbass roommate at the time was so excited that he went to get it at midnight and he absolutely refused to shut the fuck up about it. He kept on telling me about his goddamn fucking Dedenne. He was so proud of the stupid fucking nickname that he came up with for it. Do you know what it was? Fucking Hamchu. "Because it looks like a mix between a Hamtaro and a Pikachu", he told me in his dopey, stupid voice 8000 times a day. Are you fucking kidding me? Are you 5? That would be almost be a halfway acceptable nickname if you were 5, but you are a fucking grown ass man.That is the absolute dumbest thing I have ever heard. Ever. In my entire fucking life. You stupid fucking idiot. And he was legit proud of himself for coming up with it like he was the most clever fucking person ever. Dedenne probably doesn't deserve to be last, but everytime I look at the fucking thing I have terrible Hamchu flashbacks and it fills me with a burning rage that makes me want to kill myself, so fuck you Dedenne. /salt

hotdogturtle: I suspect that most of the board will rank Diggersby low because they don't actually get it. There's a running trend in the series where generic looking Normal types evolve into larger generic Normals with few distinguishing features. Bunnelby, a fairly nondescript rabbit, breaks this by evolving into a Pokemon with a very clear design theme. It's supposed to look like a construction worker, with its ears resembling excavators that it uses to help dig, and yes, it's supposed to look like it has "stubble". I don't care if you want to call it "ugly", because it has a theme and sticks to it, and that's what counts. The juxtaposition between Bunnelby and Diggersby is why the latter is so interesting and in my opinion very well designed. And that's not even the only thing. They took the surprise a step further by giving it Huge Power as a hidden ability. You would only find this in a Friend Safari after beating the game, so it would totally reinvent one of the earliest Pokemon that you saw which you thought was worthless. So now not only is this Pokemon well designed, but it's literally one of the strongest Pokemon in the game. Everything about this concept is executed perfectly and I love it.
StifledSilence: He isn't cute like Bunnelby, but he's so weird in the coolest way possible. Like…I can't even explain it. He's a complete enigma and I love him for it.
XIII: LMAO
mcflubbin: Arms for ears is simultaneously the dumbest and the most brillliant thing ever.
Steiner: I know I said Bunnelby's feet ears were too weird, but Diggersby's HAND ears are next level weird to the point where I enjoy them. Plus that smug shit eating grin on his face, PLUS his unique typing - I really like the different variants on half Normal types introduced in this gen.
Natwaf: Deadbeat dad is ugly. So so ugly. **** hakamas, they're ugly. Wathc out for that huge Power though.
Inviso: Like its pre-evolution before it, Diggersby has a huge boost from the Pick Up ability. But on top of that, there's the potential to get Huge Power, making him a badass killing machine. Really, given that Diggersby is the only new Ground-type in this generation, I think he fills the niche well, although his design is a little over-the-top and goofy.
Wicklebee: #660, the Midna's hand pokemon. After being rejected by Buneary, Bunnelby evolved after body building his ears.
Anagram: Ugly and stupid.
MegamanX: Hard to believe the bunny becomes this freak of nature, I don't hate it
Cybat: I really appreciate what the devs went for in this gen; it seems like since there were fewer Pokemon overall, they tried to make all of them at least slightly viable. Mostly by giving them broken abilities, but this guy isn't complaining. I don't like his belt thing; the ear arms are of course pretty fantastic. Though.
Deadpool: Bunny is weird. Not bad but not good
swordz9: Just wants to surround itself with Lopunny. I like how the ears are just big fists.
Para: http://orig11.deviantart.net/fa1b/f/2013/278/d/c/pimpdiggersby_by_vaporotem-d6pbbmh.jpg wasn't a big fan of him but then this pic happened
Scepter: Nothing could follow Gen V's ground types, so GameFreak didn't even try
Sanity: Ugly design.
OrangeCrush: Diggserby tho? But seriously, he looks like a dirty old man, with the dirty part being both figurative and literal.
Ermine: lmao
Raka_Putra: Try to touch yourselves to this, furries. http://www.knitbuddies.com/meowgirl/2007mar/yakitate_ojiisanharamaki.jpg
Genny: No, gross. Ew, yuck. Popeye's arms as ears. God no. Keep it away from me. There was little that could ever have redeemed this monstrosity in my eyes, but not having a name as stupid as Diggersby might have maybe helped it out a teensy bit. I mean come on why not Burrobbit? Its anime voice is stupid too ugh.
PrinceKaro: Is it knitting a sweater? Why does it have a second pair of arms growing out of its ears? Augh.
SuorGenoveffa: I suppose their aim was to make it look friendly and instead it looks like a fat pedophile rabbit. Keep your children safe.
ctesjbuvf: This thing is super disappointing and quite possibly the ugliest Pokemon of all.

Sanity: The more hands, the better.
Cybat: Hahaha this thing is so ridiculous, I love it. I understand the sort of fist-head situation because that's what Binacle had, but what's with the eyes in the rest of his hands? Anyway, it has a pretty cool moveset (Shell Smash is always good) but ugh that typing.
Natwaf: Looks like a Sentai enemy, and I love it for it! Shell Smash and decent defenses = pain. Of course it's slow to start with, and we already have Carracosta, who is even slower but has higher defenses. At least this thing has… tough claws again? Geez.
XIII: Barbaracle is a really cool Pokemon, but for some reason reminds me of a Fakemon I saw once. It's kinda strange.
StifledSilence: Rock monsters can be really cool if done correctly. This guy happens to be one of them.
ctesjbuvf: Good I guess, but boring and forgettable.
Deadpool: This is a fucking weird barnacle thing. But it looks pretty cool honestly. Still very weird but some of its coolness comes from being weird
swordz9: Holy shit this thing has so many hand/face...things and it's great.
Wicklebee: #689, the fusion pokemon. After multiple Binacles come together, an extra hand appears and claims itself the true leader. One pair turns into feet at its command so the others agree.
Anagram: Gets this far based on weirdness points alone
MegamanX: Nightmare fuel. Good god what is this thing.
SuorGenoveffa: When two planted dicks evolve they gather all the dicks they cand find and make an impressive tower made of planted dicks called BARBARA. Amazing.
Para: meh
Inviso: Assuming all is right in the world, Binacle will go out before this beast, which at least has the benefit of being an evolved form to make me rank it higher. But Barbaracle still sucks. First off, can't take it seriously with the name Barbara. Second, it looks absolutely hideous with the extra appendages. We didn't need a barnacle Pokemon and we didn't need a barnacle power ranger Pokemon, that's for damn sure.
OrangeCrush: Even stupider than Binacle in some ways, but at least I can sort of see what they were going for this time.
Ermine: What in god's name were they thinking with this one. Like... I actually want an explanation -_-
Raka_Putra: OH MY GOOD GOD ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA. This is a monstrosity. I know I haven't been a good believer but please please smite this creature out of existence and erase it from our collective memory and consciousness, amen amen amen.
Genny: Ugh. Okay I know Hitmonchan's head kind of resembles a hand but it's the original punching pokémon so I forgive it. This is just way too much to handle however. Oh god I just unintentionally made a stupid hand pun. This thing brings out the worst in me without even trying.
Alanna82: this this is just ugly

Alanna82: so cute
StifledSilence: OMG CUTE LITTLE FIRE KITTY!
ctesjbuvf: This thing looked badass and gave me hope of a good fire Pokemon.
Deadpool: Almost a really cute lion cub. But then it just went derp in a bad way.
Anagram: Something about Litleo looks wrong to me. It doesn't seem to follow the same aesthetic as other pokemon and I can't put my finger on why.
Wicklebee: #667, the want to be king pokemon. This pokemon could replace Simba in TLK and already be better than the current protagonist.
Inviso: Litleo CAN be awesome…it's just, the eyes make it look so unnecessarily derpy. Compete Litleo's eyes to the Shinx line. Shinx at least looks like its eyes are natural. Litleo's eyes come across like googly eyes glued to its face. It's distracting.
MegamanX: I really don't like this thing, its proportions seem very off
Cybat: I actually was sort of turned off by this guy initially because his face is somehow overly cute. Sorry Simba.
Raka_Putra: I can't believe they intentionally made an ugly design for a LION Pokemon. I mean, I know Pokemon are supposed to be cartoony but that doesn't mean you have to terrorize children with this piece of…ugliness and fake. You're just a liar! I hate fake Pokemon.
KommunistKoala: Kinda cute, but completely forgettable.
Genny: Lol at the people who think it's cuter than Shinx. No, no... Litleo is full of a little too much derp for a creature that will be as majestic as Pyroar some day. I can't take it seriously at all.
Ermine: Well they managed to screw up lions! What in the world is wrong with his face and why can't he have a normal one? Like, is that really too much to ask for?
Natwaf: NFE Trash
swordz9: Litleo's ok, but they could have made a much cooler or cuter lion cub Pokemon

Alanna82: Its booty tooching! (watch America’s next top model to figure out what that is)
XIII: I have loyalty to Pokemon I used. Florges was my first ever fairy type (that I actually card about, and NFEs don't count), and did a great job for me in my team. I didn't like the lack of movepool and it felt like it should be Fairy/Grass, but it did a great job on the whole and was able to tank hits in a way a lot of my team couldn't. Elegant design, nice little gimmick of different appearances, which isn't new but is always appreciated to add variety, and nice high SpD. A very respectable Pokemon to use in-game.
Para: I dunno, don't judge me
SuorGenoveffa: Among friends, we call this one “Cher”, I think it's appropriate. While I hate the fact that it isn't at least part Grass despite being clearly designed to support Grass types and be one itself, this was in my original team and I love the look to it and the various colors.
ctesjbuvf: It's design is misleading to it's defense. It's pretty good, I just find it kinda boring.
Natwaf: Collect all the colors! Blue is the best though. Anyway, don't be fooled, this thing may look frail, but it tanks special attacks like nobody's business. Too bad it gets walled in turn very easily.
Raka_Putra: Fabulous~~ But it started out so tiny and weak that I didn't want to try raising it haha.
Cybat: I'm willing to bet that about 90% of people had this guy on their ingame team at some point. I mean, it's the first new Fairy Pokemon you see, and the only one in the gen that evolves by a method other than trading! Then it has a really lackluster movepool for ingame and you're soured on the whole concept. Really weird.
Inviso: It's weird for me to rank a FE the lowest out of a three-Pokemon line, but Florges' design just isn't all that special to me. First off, I don't see why this is unnecessarily a pure Fairy-type when it should've been part Grass, but beyond that, the flower bud around its head just looks dumb and it's a complete departure from the semi-cute look of its pre-evolutions.
Anagram: Come on why aren't you a grass type you're an actual flower
Wicklebee: #671, the flower prostitute. A single mother of 3, she tries to feed her children through getting money for her body, but Roserade already has enough mistresses.
MegamanX: I can identify this thing but its ugly.
Ermine: Still No
Deadpool: Stupid flower crap
KommunistKoala: Someone vomited on a flower. I guess technically a fairy had to right.
StifledSilence: Last I checked flowers were supposed to be pretty, not moldy and/or cancerous looking.
Genny: I like how its name is partially based on the word "gorgeous" when it looks like a high class hooker with way too much makeup. Just kidding I don't like that at all. I was never all that into the concept of irony. Florges disgusts me because there were a hundred directions the design team could have went in and they chose hands down the worst possible. This is the PREMIER generation in selling a new type and this is the final step in one such example? NOBODY WANTED THIS!
swordz9: One of the most disappointing final evolutions ever. The line looked great until this weird cornstalk alien thing.

Cybat: Prankster + ridiculously good defensive typing is a recipe for a lot of haters. But I really enjoy the design of this little troll. I bet you forgot that this guy gets two signature moves. Both are pretty worthless compared to his standard fare, but it was a nice gesture.
hotdogturtle: I'm pretty sure that saying "durr keychain pokemon so dum" is literally an internet meme at this point. But if I'm gonna say anything about Klefki, it's that he's a damn reliable dual screener.
Para: it creeps me out that the keyhole is his mouth and it smiles. what the fuck
Sanity: What an absurd Pokemon design. A key ring are you serious.
KommunistKoala: Keys are so dumb but for some reason they're less dumb than ice cream. I dunno I can't explain it.
Ermine: ~KEYS~
Inviso: Jingle jingle, motherf***er. Klefki's gon' f*** you up. Hehehe. A lot of people think the whole living key thing is stupid, but personally, I find it cute and fun. Plus, it gets Prankster, which has a lot of fun utility going for it. It's not the BEST Fairy/Steel-type, but really, both of them are good and it's one of the better Fairy-types overall.
XIII: Klefki's faint animation is freaking heartbreaking. HEARTBREAKING. =(
StifledSilence: I hear a lot of complaints about a literal keychain Pokemon, but I like it.
Natwaf: I know now… without a doubt, that Kingdom Hearts is… LIGHT! Anyway, this thing is annoying to face thanks to Prankster, and it's deceptively bulkier than how it looks.
MegamanX: Klefki doesn't offend me much, it is weird but at least I know what it is.
Alanna82: its cry is really neat
Deadpool: The keys are weird but not good
Raka_Putra: It's the witch Beatrice's fault that I can't find my keys!
swordz9: All lost keys end up with Klefki and then it screws with you more via Prankster ability
ctesjbuvf: I guess a random bundle of keys is a cool idea, but lacks an evolution.
SuorGenoveffa: I wish I could hate Klefki more because it has the stupidest concept and Prankster sucks, but the goofy keys design kind of grew on me. Still sucks.
PrinceKaro: its a fucking key chain pokemon.
Anagram: Bob we need another pokemon, draw something up based on what you see' 'But Frank I'm in my car right now WAIT A MINUTE"
Genny: Probably a case of me hating the concept more than the actual pokémon. Come on... that's a keychain with a face. Try a little harder next time.
OrangeCrush: Weird concept, and Prankster + that typing makes it cancerous in competitive.
Wicklebee: #707, the missing car keys pokemon. Check the following: Your pocket, your other pants, inside the ignition, and the fridge. If it's not in any of those places, hope you aren't running late.

StifledSilence: OMG WHY IS THIS GAME SO STUFFED FULL OF CUTENESS?! HUGS PLZ BUNNY!
MegamanX: This little bunny is pretty cute.
Anagram: Bugs Bunny's lazy, stupid cousin.
Wicklebee: #659, the bunny pokemon. Bunnies are my father's favorite animal.
Inviso: Bunnelby gets Pick Up and is caught early, making it very useful. Plus, while it may be slightly generic in its own right, it at least has a pretty badass evolution. I'd say…Zigzagoon > Bunnelby > Sentret > Rattata > Bidoof > Patrat.
Steiner: Well I'm glad we got a different type of animal for our generic normal early game rodent this time, but his feet ears are kinda too bizarre for me
Deadpool: The cuter bunny is not quite as good as its weird evolved form
ctesjbuvf: This thing is sorta boring, but is alright in the anime I guess, so it gets some points for that.
Genny: There's something just off about Bunnelby that prevents me from liking it as much as it should and I can't put my finger on it. It's not the hand ears, as those are odd but fine. I can't say it's the color scheme either. While bland, it's not offensive or anything and fits given its eventual typing. I think what it is, is that rough that forms a collar aroundits neck. Makes it look like a peasant, and Bunnelby would look ten times better without it because it's adorable otherwise.
Raka_Putra: I can't believe they intentionally made an ugly design for a BUNNY Pokemon. I mean, I know there's Buneary but that doesn't mean you have to terrorize children with this piece of…ugliness.
Para: not a lot to say about this guy
Cybat: Cute, of course, but somehow not as endearing as other early rodents. Still, can't go too wrong with Pickup.
swordz9: Oh look it's male Buneary
SuorGenoveffa: Wow no surprise Diggersby turned out like it did. Nobody probably wanted to be friends with this dork as a child.

Natwaf: Water/Fire, together at last! So, since it hasn't been released yet, all we know is how it looks (pretty neat), it's stats (dammit, it's slow), and it's move set. Of particular note is it's signature move, Steam Eruption. You know Scald right? The Water move everybody and their mothers, and even grandmothers are using? Yeah, this is even worse. 110 power with the same burn chance, EESH.
OrangeCrush: Volcanion deserved to be called Hoopa because of his hoop.
swordz9: Of course the first Fire/Water type would be an event Pokemon. It even has Water Absorb and to top it all off it still isn't released yet because lol events :(
Cybat: About time we got (or…will get) a Fire/Water Pokemon. Essentially this gen's Heatran, I get the concept but am not sold on the design. Steam Eruption is cool though.
Deadpool: This dude just looks funny enough to be decent.
ctesjbuvf: Interesting type combination I can't wait to try my hands with, but can't rank Pokemon I haven't really tried yet, so it gets an average ranking.
XIII: It's hard to be really invested in a Pokemon that is unreleased and that I've never used. I love the unique typing and the special moves it looks like it will get, but like I said, it's too inaccessible to put very high.
KommunistKoala: Pretty cool when the ring turns into cannons and fires. But we have better pokemon that shoot shit out of attached cannons.
SuorGenoveffa: Volcanion looks like quite the badass, hence why I ranked it sort of high despite not being released yet. Can't wait to see how it interacts with Zygarde in Z... Because Z is coming, right?
Inviso: The only Pokemon that we know about, but it hasn't been officially announced on released yet. It ranks this highly for me based solely on potential, and how cool it is to finally have a Fire/Water-type Pokemon.
StifledSilence: The hula hoop on its head really doesn't do it for me. What a waste of a fire kitty.
Genny: What the fuck am I even looking at here, a lion-turtle-donut? I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt because I've wanted a Fire/Water type since literally the first generation I played, but so far I'm not terribly impressed. Needs a release obvies.
Anagram: It's a testament to the lack of talent in someone who lives in Japan that he could design a volcano cannon that looks so boring.
Wicklebee: #720, the water heater pokemon. This pokemon does nothing but warms up your water through the house, you should thank it the next time you take a shower. Unless you take it cold.
Para: hardly ever seen him and I barely know what to make of him at all
MegamanX: I don't get this design at all. Why doe it have a giant hoop?
Raka_Putra: The color of the lights contrast weirdly with the rest of the body. Also, event-exclusive Pokemon are just one step away from putting people in developing countries in concentration camps
PrinceKaro: having an unique typing is cool, but unfortunately they had to make him look like this dumb looking turtle with a stargate strapped to his back.
hotdogturtle: I don't get what this is supposed to physically be. I might understand it more once it's officially revealed and there's more artwork, but I doubt it.

hotdogturtle: I love everything about this Pokemon, from its design to its cry to its shiny colors. It's also like 2 Pokemon in one, because the Small and Super Size forms have different enough stats to be played in different ways (the middle two are useless). Too bad that gen 6 is so subpar overall and even my favorites would only rank around the 20s-30s when compared to my favorite gen 5 Pokemon.
Alanna82: Anyone notice the face at the top hidden by its hair? ^_^
OrangeCrush: Halloween is awesome
KommunistKoala: Love the size changes.
SuorGenoveffa: “It sings joyfully as it observes the suffering of its prey.” Finally a pokémon that represents how I feel everytime I beat someone at videogames. Gotta love the trollish vibe, also love the tanky supports.
StifledSilence: It has the special distinction of being both cool and dorky at the same time.
Inviso: Best of the four new Ghost/Grass-types introduced in this generation, Gourgeist looks cool while following the same variability in its size that you find from Pumpkaboo. I like the design more, because it looks like a candle sticking out of a demonic pumpkin...but it really should've been Grass/Fire.
Cybat: This one was disappointing for me; Pumpkaboo had the makings of a pretty strong design and then this thing took it in a sort of cutesy direction that doesn't appeal to me as much. Still, can't be too mad at another Grass/Ghost, and Trick or Treat is pretty hilarious.
ctesjbuvf: Forgettable and pointless.
Para: neat but doesn't have pumpkaboo's cuteness
Natwaf: The size mechanic is ANNOYING. This is so not the Pumpking Jack pokemon I wanted.
Raka_Putra: It's weirdly sensual.
Anagram: That doesn't look like a head to me, or rather it looks like the wrong kind of head.
Genny: Nuuuuu why would you do this to my cute lil' punkin' argh!?
Deadpool: ghost pumpkin is not nearly as good as ghost tree. Still the bigger one is slightly better
swordz9: The jack-o'-lantern part is pretty neat, but the head coming out of it is kind of dumb looking and where did the vampire bat part of Pumkaboo go?
MegamanX: Ugly tumor growing out of a pumpkin
Wicklebee: #711, the great pumpkin pokemon. Every Halloween, there is a story that flows around about him appearing in a pumpkin patch, which he himself spreads to laugh at anyone who stays in the patch all night trying to find him.

hotdogturtle: Definitely one of the all-time cutest NFEs.
Raka_Putra: Cute, unassumingly nasty little flying psychic squid. Lovable!
Alanna82: really cool gimmick and its cute too
ctesjbuvf: This thing rocks and gave me back hope that Team Rocket Pokemon can have personality. I love it, and it evolves in a creative and fun way!
Wicklebee: #686, the beaked Japanese dish pokemon. This pokemon occasionally becomes sushi when the chef knows how to cut it correctly and break the beak-like thing.
Anagram: What a lazy goddamn pun.
Genny: Why hello Blooper. I guess Nintendo can't sue ITSELF. James's Inkay is pretty cool.
Deadpool: Squid is eh. But slightly cuter then its evolved for me so it wins there. Still this is the start of the eh pokemon
MegamanX: Oh great another squid
Inviso: It's better than Malamar only because it's cute. Otherwise, they fill the same role as a kinda forgettable gimmick Pokemon. Also, that evolution method, while interesting, is still kinda bulls*** since the censors are bad at determining when you're actually holding your DS upside down.
swordz9: Inkay always reminds me of a colorful Blooper. Pokemon/Mario crossover when

StifledSilence: Reasonably cute floating tree stump ghost thingy. Yep, rolls right off the tongue.
Anagram: This isn't a stump. I don't know what it is, but it's not a stump.
MegamanX: Semi adorable, semi strange.
Genny: Wow you're kind of adorable. Rock on little spooky dude.
Cybat: Looks more like a ghost dressing up as a tree than an actual possessed stump, but at least we get its two types conveyed pretty well. Here's your mandatory creepy Pokedex entry: "According to old tales, these Pokémon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died while lost in the forest." :(
Para: all right but he's no pumpkaboo
Raka_Putra: Ghostly kid trying to scare people~ It is still adorable though.
Deadpool: It is an ok ghost thing
Wicklebee: #708, the nightmare of Gardenia pokemon. They say this pokemon finds joy in tormenting a certain gym leader, due to being the exact type she never wanted to see exist.
swordz9: Would be higher if he was a phantom Stump from Angry Beavers
Inviso: While I am glad that we finally got a Grass/Ghost type (and personally I'm glad this is Grass/Ghost, while the Pumpkaboo line should be Grass/Fire)%u2026I'm just not a huge fan of Phantump. Its design is boring and after we had some actually pretty cool Ghost designs the previous two generations, this just feels lazy.

Sanity: I like how slugs and snails seem to be interchangable in games. Slugs are better of course, but snails are still really cool.
Para: sort of weirdly cool how it's a snail that turns into a dragon somehow
swordz9: Kind of an awkward middle phase, but I still like Sliggoo.
Raka_Putra: But this is kinda weird…that snail shell thing doesn't really work out… v_v
Genny: Something about its evolution just takes away from the magic that is Goomy. I mean... it's still a rotund mound of mucous with an adorably crooked smile, but I dunno... The eyes kind of kill it. It pains me to put a middie this low, but Goomy definitely loses charm as it evolves.
Deadpool: Gooey middle stage dragon is boring. But also not hated in anyway
ctesjbuvf: Stupid middle evolution that looks like the other two too much. The anime rushed it give Ash this in no time then just evolve it again, really stupid move. It evolves in a unique way though, which I like.
Anagram: I put Sliggoo this high? What was I thinking?
StifledSilence: Seriously, why isn't this goofy line part Water type?
Natwaf: NFE Trash
MegamanX: Ugly snot creature
Cybat: Wow, I didn't realize it because I (obviously) didn't figure out the rain evolution thing until I looked it up, but you only have this thing for 10 levels. Weird.
KommunistKoala: Kind of disappointing evolution for the Great Goomy.
Wicklebee: #705, the snail pokemon. After finding out that prey attempt to eat it, it tried searching for a shell, but then chose to create one out of its own back goo instead. Somehow it works to fend off predators.
SuorGenoveffa: Absolutely disgusting, also looks drawn by a 1-year old kid. I mean, this entire line does but at the very least Goomy looks sort of cute in its goofy way. This is trash.
Inviso: Controversial opinion alert: the Goodra family is overrated. I don't like the fact that they made this mess of a Pokemon into a generic pure Dragon-type without really making it look appealing from a visual perspective. And Sliggoo is the absolute worst, because it has a major case of middle evolution syndrome. Goomy is at least adorable. Goodra is kinda lame, so having a middle evo that is no longer adorable, and in the transition to "meh" is horrific. It's like a Dali painting for crying out loud.

Genny: Cutest. Spook. Ever. I'll take twenty.
Alanna82: aww
Para: his adorable little fangs make it
KommunistKoala: Damn this thing is cute.
hotdogturtle: I said that I never wanted to see another Pumpkaboo after I spent 3 months breeding for a shiny one. But there's not a lot in gen 6 so here we are anyway. Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist have one of my favorite shiny color schemes out of any Pokemon. It's actually kind of rare for an evolution family to keep the same shiny colors when they evolve, but I'm glad they did. Pumpkaboo looks better in purple and I'm still sick of seeing it in orange.
StifledSilence: Let me see your Pumpkaboobs.
SuorGenoveffa: The cutest jack-o-lantern ever.
Cybat: Its name is a little on the nose but it's a well executed design. The addition of the multiple sizes is an annoyance if you're trying to train one but it's a cute idea in theory.
Inviso: I like the fact that you can get multiple different sizes of Pumpkaboo. I think that's a fun gimmick and really plays into the pumpkin theme. It should've probably been a Grass/Fire-type though.
Wicklebee: #710, the underling to Jack Skellington pokemon. Once great minions in Halloweentown, one Skellington brought back Christmas the pumpkins left but were captured by some strange creature and they were made into bombs that are thrown about New York.
ctesjbuvf: Not forgettable because of the anime, but it has no personality there compared to the really cool Inkay.
Raka_Putra: I have a hard time believing it's a Pokemon for some reason. Maybe because it's under-utilised in the games.
Anagram: Better to be a pumpkaboo than a weeaboo
MegamanX: I get it but I think they could have designed this better
Deadpool: ghost pumpkin is not nearly as good as ghost tree

Ermine: Adorable little batty that I'm sure I'm going to love when I get to see him more in the anime. I suspect he'll move a bit higher up in my rankings after seeing him more but for now he gets to be 6th in Gen 6. He's grown on me a little since I only liked him decently before but he really does have a pretty cute and simple design and even his evo is pretty good. Very solid line.
Genny: So... adorbs. Fanart has really bolstered my opinion of this line, this stage in particular. If you don't know I'm sure mnk will be happy to share.
Anagram: Finally a bat pokemon that doesn't suck. It took almost twenty years, but we finally got one.
swordz9: Who would have guessed Pokemon would have a bat that is cute and not a pain in the ass
Deadpool: It is a fairly cute bat. Needs better boomboxes though.
Raka_Putra: More like Yes-i-bat amirite hohoho
StifledSilence: Pokemon does a pretty good job with bats overall.
Wicklebee: #714, the big ear pokemon. Like a bat it speaks to others through sonar, and is immune to supersonic. But after attemting to communicate with Zubats their ears were bit into and widened to their size.
ctesjbuvf: Just another bad, err I mean bat.
mcflubbin: Noibat is cute, but it's no Goomy.
SuorGenoveffa: The shiny form of this is glorious, best color scheme ever. http://img04.deviantart.net/f92b/i/2014/052/e/a/noibat_by_huiro-d77d58n.png This line also makes the Woobat line even more obsolete, so I welcome it.
MegamanX: It's zubat.
Cybat: I like the design and both of its color schemes; they make it look distinct from the other bat Pokemon even though it's not all that different-looking. Plus, yknow, it's a dragon. For some reason.
Natwaf: NFE Trash
KommunistKoala: I forgot Noivern even had a first stage
Inviso: Swoobat was ugly. Golbat was ugly. But at least those two lines had cute first forms (and Golbat evolved into awesome Crobat). Noibat is not so lucky, and it's an ugly little trogladite that shows up VERY late into the game (hell, you can get Axew and Bagon before the second gym for crying out loud). It provides nothing enjoyable, and it evolves late into something that's not particularly great or unique (yay ANOTHER Dragon/Flying-type). Just bah.

hotdogturtle: One of the rare cases where I like the middle form significantly more than the 1st or 3rd one.
Wicklebee: #670, the petal girl pokemon. Grateful for how much that flower meant to her through her early life
, she carries it around with a smile.
SuorGenoveffa: Incredibly graceful, which kind of makes the sad story of Pokémon XY revolving around it more dramatic. It's special form with the dead flower also makes it creepy as f***. All things that I love in my pogeymanz.
Genny: This should have just been the final form really. That monstrosity that happens after Floette touches a Shiny Stone should never have been allowed to exist.
XIII: I like the look of the special event Floette - AZ's Floette, which has its own signature move and stats to rival those of Florges. Also it's pretty cute and I kind of dig the ending to XY, even if it is very hammy.
Cybat: Cute but weird if you think about it; are her hands just stuck around that flower until she evolves? And why isn't it a Grass type? Eternal Flower Floette is awesome though.
StifledSilence: I don't like this line very much but Floette is actually very pretty.
Para: I dunno, I sort of like it for some reason
Inviso: Highest ranking member of this line still doesn't rank that highly for me overall. I mainly give it credit for being a part of the overall plot, what with Floette's relationship with that one giant dude. Beyond that, same problems apply. Should've been Grass/Fairy.

Inviso: My highest ranked NFE of the generation, this isn't even a furry thing. I just love the fact that Espurr has
these bug eyes that make him look either stressed out or on the verge of a killing spree at all times. Seriously, you can take any picture of a disaster, put an Espurr into it, and it makes perfect sense. This thing will kill you while you sleep.
Wicklebee: #677, the stare pokemon. Everytime a couple is making love, an Espurr appears in the room as the awkward background character that if the couple notices him there, it becomes creepy.
StifledSilence: OMG OMG CUTE PSYCHIC KITTY GIVE ME HUGS PLZ!
swordz9: Espurr has stolen the soul of everyone who ever looked at it and it felt nothing while doing so.

hotdogturtle: Surprisingly cooler than I'd expect any dog Pokemon to be. You can customize its look based on your mood. Like many of my gen 6 favorites (odd trend) this one has a very small movepool and can't do much. I do enjoy its ability which is a defensive version of Huge Power.
SuorGenoveffa: I love Furfrou because you can basically build an invincible physical wall out of it and have it look like this in the face of your enemies: http://nintendoenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Furfrou-Customization-Official-Screenshot-3.bmp
swordz9: I really like how there are a bunch of different trims for it and It's surprisingly bulky too.
Anagram: Another boring dog pokemon, though at least it does have a gimmick this time.
ctesjbuvf: You can get this in like level 8 and it never evolves. That's disappointing, though it is good.
Natwaf: I never had problems with that double Furfrou battle. Maybe because I had Special Attackers? Anyway, Fur Coat is like a defensive Huge/Pure Power, too bad this Poodle can't use it well. On the plus side, you can customize their looks. Pharaoh is the best.
Genny: I don't even like poodles, but as far as gimmick pokémon go a dog whose fur can be groomed into almost a dozen different styles is kinda wicked. Plus Kalos is mock France so French Poodles kind of make sense. Obligatory trim ranking: Pharaoh > Kabuki > Star > Dandy > La Reine > Debutante > Heart > Natural > Matron > Diamond
Ermine: All of the Furfrous in the anime with their stupid haircuts look SO bad. Natural Furfrou is much better.
MegamanX: The different hairstyles are this ugly things saving grace
Cybat: What a great name. Its alternate forms are hilarious, too. Also surprisingly tough, especially ingame if you don't know about its (awesome) ability.
Inviso: Furfrou is a weird one for me because it's simultaneously really interesting in terms of a gimmick, and extremely irritating, given how many times it has absolutely wrecked my team during Nuzlocke runs where I face that one duo battle on Route 6. It's probably the worst dog Gamefreak has made, but at least it's got the hairstyle thing to make it fun.
KommunistKoala: Hated this thing at first but I love how damn tanky it can be. The fur is too strong!
Para: much cooler than actual dumb poodles
Wicklebee: #676, the blind pokemon. This pokemon is the friend of smokers, as it stares at the wall unsure what it is due to the hair that covers nearly all of its sight.
StifledSilence: I like the hairstyle gimmick but I hate how it vanishes once you put it in a box. Because really now, who uses this in their party?
Deadpool: Dumb dog is dumb. 60 and worse is when I actually start disliking them. And dislike this dog I do
Raka_Putra: Okay gimmick but not really interesting, meh. I'd rather have a real dog if I have to choose between a mundane dog and a Pokemon that looks like a mundane dog.
XIII: Furfrou and poodle grooming and stuff is a fitting addition to a French-themed Pokemon game. It's very French. Unfortunately, that is fucking awful and grotesque. And grotesque is more Italian than French so nyah.

Most of its contributions just merge into a personality-less gray area of distilled mediocrity. Even its best creations aren't better than top twenty for some other gens.
swordz9: Cute enough to get this high, but the evolution is a lot better.
Natwaf: NFE Trash
ctesjbuvf: Initially attempted to be used for marketting then forgotten while Clemont easily could've had one.
StifledSilence: I like yellow.
MegamanX: Polygon ears eh could have done without
Cybat: Too many syllables. His head is also a weird shape for his body type. But he's kinda cute in a weird way, and his shiny form is pretty.
Ermine: Ugh... Helioptile is SO close to actually having a cute design... but that face... I cannot forgive it, seriously why...? Ugh
Genny: It looks a bit derp with its aviator hat, but it's a cute lizard and I'm me so here it lands.
Wicklebee: #694, the lengthy ear pokemon. Primarily meant to be a fossil pokemon, this pokemon was shifted in origin stories to being a lizard that got its ears caught in a generator and it couldn't escape until they flattened. They stretched out from all the pulling.
Inviso: Sorry Ermine, but this one just isn't all that great to me. For one, it's found on one of the worst routes in the game, where you're bound by stupid Rhyhorn movement. But worse…it doesn't even make sense as part of that route. That round is all rocks and ground, yet here you have an Electric-type. Plus, it's not THAT cute, at least compared to its evolution, so it ranks low.
SuorGenoveffa: When I didn't know its ears spread out to become little solar panels, I considered this the derpiest looking thing in the pokémon universe. It still kind of is.
hotdogturtle: Disgusting ugly piece of crap.

Sanity: In terms of badassery, this is one of the coolest looking Pokemon that's ever been made. He's like a bug snake alien. He'd be pretty terrifying in real life.
Natwaf: So alien-y. I love it. It's… not really an inferiro Garchomp as oft said though. It's a bulky Dragon/Ground, and it has just the right moves to pull it off. Not that well, but still. In any case, where's my Zygarde-X and Zygarde-Y Gamefreak? We already know there are special Ground-type moves, and it jsut screams Zygarde. I especially want that Ground Move that actually hits Flying/Levitating pokemon.
XIII: The best is yet to come from Zygarde, but he's still pretty great in randoms with a sweet design to boot. And its yet-to-be-released signature moves - Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves - are pretty terrific. A Ground move that hits Flying-types is just straight-up cool.
SuorGenoveffa: Z is coming right? I love Zygarde, looks so cool but just like Kyurem it needs a new version to expand on its lore. It's based on something named “the World Serpent”, it could only become better.
Genny: A better tsuchinoko than Dumbsparce actually, but apparently Zygarde is based on Nidhogg. For those of you that may recall the Jade Cocoon mention in my Hydreigon writeup last generation, I offer another little tidbit as to why I like Zygarde's design so much: 
. This and the scarce, but totally existing nice fanart of it floating around in the ether make me really like Zygarde despite having little experience with it.
Anagram: For a slug, it's pretty interesting. I can dig it.
Cybat: I feel like it's still premature to rate him until Z comes out. But oh well. I like the black and green coloring and sort of otherwordly design with its eyes and body shape, but its building frills are really weird. And its ability is…almost completely useless?
KommunistKoala: Dumb but also cool.
swordz9: I like the whole alien/serpent design. When are we getting a Pokemon Z anyways?
Para: sort of appealing to me for completely indiscernable reasons since he looks like nothing
Raka_Putra: The final member of the X Y Z trio. I hate that he's not in the game proper (I might be wrong) but still…he earned bonus points for being related to Xerneas and Yveltal.
Deadpool: This guy is just kinda there. Don't like him. Don't dislike him.
Inviso: Why couldn't this be a Bug/Dragon? Why did we need a THIRD Ground/Dragon-type when Flygon is already perfect as it is? That being said, it's not an awful design, and I give it points for being a legendary that actually feels like a legendary, rather than just one of many rare Pokemon thrown into the game at the end to be annoying.
ctesjbuvf: This thing is so plain, boring and disappointing as a third legendary in an otherwise cool trio.
Wicklebee: #718, the acid pokemon. This pokemon has no clue what it is, as despite being a lizard it stole the feathers of a peacock and infected them so they turned black. It continues to wear them, but has no clue what happened to them.
StifledSilence: There's trying too hard. And then there's hideous. And THEN there's trying too hard to be hideous.
MegamanX: I really hate the design of this serpent thing.

Para: yeah it's cute
Genny: Cutie ootie wootie with no cooties.
Wicklebee: #698, the long neck pokemon. When the Ice Age hit, Littlefoot happened to be alive still and ate some frozen 5 stars, or whatever the name of those leaves were. Whatever, Littlefoot turned into an ice creature.
Deadpool: Cute little sauropod is cute.
Inviso: This generation is EASILY the best in terms of overall fossils. No worthless Omanyte line. No worthless everything in Gen III. No worthless Shieldon line. And no unfortunate missteps from Gen V. Amaura just happens to be the least cool of four different Pokemon.

Anagram: It's so damn cool. I would absolutely use one of these if they weren't defense ****ing ice types.
SuorGenoveffa: I LOVE MY ICE TABLE. Ever since Avalugg was revealed I have this fantasy in my head of it turning upside-down and sliding on the floor with its flat frozen back like a boss, hitting like a truck all that stands in its way. I just love Avalugg so much, and my life felt complete when ORAS introduced an Avalugg-shaped table for your Secret Base.
Wicklebee: #713, the titanic destroyer pokemon. This pokemon sits in the arctic ocean and tends to either serve as the reason penguins get lost at sea or destroys unsuspecting ships, and finds joy in everyone else's misery.
Sanity: I like the design. Floating iceberg turtle with flat back that carries things.
Natwaf: I like this thing. It looks cool, and a decent physical wall. Tanks physicals like a boss, while crumbling under special attacks. That said, watch out for Mirror Coat Sturdy ones.
Cybat: WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING DEFENSIVE ICE TYPES
swordz9: This thing is a goddamn tank and I love it.
XIII: I'd like Avalugg a lot more if it wasn't a fucking defensive ice-type. That said, it does a far more stylish and aggressive job of it than Regice does.
ctesjbuvf: Might be good, I don't know, but very forgettable and I'm not a big fan of pure ice types.
Deadpool: The ice table is kinda cool. A huge bitch to take down though
hotdogturtle: Underrated design actually. Kinda looks cool when it walks.
Para: I kinda like him. he's a dinosaur table. I want one
Inviso: It's supposed to be a big, bulky Ice-type, but Ice-types are notoriously bad at tanking, what with the plethora of weaknesses at their disposal. I mean, the design is interesting…but I just think this should've been something better than a pure Ice-type. Steel could've been interesting, for example. As it stands, this just isn't all that special.
Genny: Zzz... Last generation introduced so many solid Ice types. At this point if you're going to make a new one it better damn well be interesting. I mean a super slow super defensive ice tank is certainly new, but it's the opposite of exciting. Just look at it.
Raka_Putra: Avalugg - The Melting Icecap Pokemon. Due to global warming, pieces of Avalugg carcass are found washed ashore all over the world.
StifledSilence: Because everyone was clamoring for a walking ice block.
MegamanX: What happened to the other half of this pokemon?

OrangeCrush: Cute, and I love his attacking animation where he uses a stick as a wand.
ctesjbuvf: Looks dumb at first until you first used psybeam with its stick. Solid Pokemon! Best middle evolution.
MegamanX: I love the witch look here, it is like a witch in training.
Alanna82: lol it has a stick up its ass
Cybat: In my opinion, out of the nine starter forms none embody the "fighter/mage/rogue" theme as well as this one. The animation of pulling its stick wand out of its tail is genius and although we get a hint of (shudder) things to come with the ear hair, it is still an appealing design, with a cool name.
Ermine: Never female pls. Pretty cool.
Para: yeah all right whatever it's a fox but I guess I can appreciate its cool tail-torch thing
Genny: Probably my second favorite design of the starter families this generation. I don't really get where the stick comes from but apparently it's supposed to resemble a broom when tucked into the tail and a wand when not. That's pretty clever so I'll overlook the wtfness of its origin.
SuorGenoveffa: All the cool witches need their wand, don't get the hate for this line past Fennekin. Both Braixen and Delphox are vast improvements over Fennekin, especially concept-wise.
Wicklebee: #654, the hooker fox pokemon. The stick in her tail that becomes her wand came from a Bibarel she seduced.
swordz9: Can't believe I am ranking it this high, but it has grown on me over time. Too bad none of the line loses the ear hair.
StifledSilence: Rebelious teenage girl fox with slightly out of control ear fur.
Inviso: Everyone acts like this thing is awesome furrybait, and I'm gonna give a big hell no to that. Braixen has definite middle evolution syndrome in that you have cute Fennekin, and badass/elegant Delphox…and then Braixen looks anorexic and lame by comparison.
Anagram: Makes me feel immensely uneasy. There's something about Braixen not shared by its evolution and preevolution that make me just see it as a furry creation almost on par with Lopunny
Steiner: Where did it get a dress from?
Deadpool: WTF is this ugly furry bait fox. Should have stayed on four legs. This is the least hated of all the ones I hate. But I still hate it a good amount
Raka_Putra: No I don't need creepy anthroporphic fox thank you. A face only furries can love.

Ermine: Decent starter bird.
Anagram: Pokedex: 'Despite the beauty of its lilting voice, it's merciless to intruders that enter its territory.' Now that's a pokemon I can get behind.
MegamanX: Adorable. Nailed this design.
Inviso: The full line makes it into my top 28 (one of three tri-form lines to do so), but Fletchling is the lowest ranked of the three. It's cute, but I have to say that its design is very rudimentary. Its legs look so stick-like that they feel like laziness on the part of the artist. Still, it's cool that it evolves into a good Fire/Flying type.
Raka_Putra: Small early-game bird? Meh, I'll wait until the…wait, what were you saying about awesome eye-blindingly fast fire bird?
Wicklebee: #661, the taught I taw a putty tat pokemon. oh wait, still isn't good enough to be tweety bird.
Genny: You can never unsee that its eye markings form a bird's head. Fletchling is my second favorite first form early route bird after Taillow. This is not saying a whole lot unfortunately given the sameness of the first form early route birds
Deadpool: Eh bird is eh

ctesjbuvf: Fire/psychic is an awesome type to begin with. Great to have without event pokemon or zen. Also I love attacking from its stick!
OrangeCrush: I'll be honest, Delphox is kinda weird and could've been much better. However, Fire/Psychic is a cool combo, and while Victini did it first, he's an event legendary so fuck him. He's really not that bad; I think that hating him just became a meme that spiraled out of control. For example, his movepool isn't that bad, and he isn't the only starter with a gimmicky or useless Dream World ability.
Sanity: Despite being a fox, I quite like this design. Wizards are good, and I just like how the fur around its legs are all baggy like a robe.
SuorGenoveffa: One of the many things that this generation did right was to give an RPG archetype to every starter, Delphox being the Mage/Witch. I'm a sucker for mages and I love the neat little touch that is giving it a fire wand, this one basically sells itself to me by default. I think it looks pretty great and is almost equally as cool as its counterparts.
Ermine: Kinda cool magician fox. Never female pls.
Inviso: I was so excited when the games were announced because Delphox seems like ideal furry bait, AND it's a cool new typing that takes the awesome of Fire, and combines it with the potential awesome (but usually mishandling) of Psychic. And don't get me wrong, Delphox still Del-rox. I used one on my Y team and my Melisandre kicked ass all the way through the Elite 4. I just think she;s not as cool as the original Fennekin form would've led me to believe.
hotdogturtle: I don't really have an explanation for why I like this Pokemon. I generally don't care for Fire types, don't like foxes, and have no connection to the pre-evos. Delphox isn't even that good either, with average stats and a small movepool. But something about it just works for me; I don't know why.
Anagram: Not good, not bad. It's Delphox. I tried to use one in my Y nuzlocke and it did not work out for me. I do
like the wizard theme, though.
MegamanX: I want to like delphox but its second form much better
Natwaf: Ehh… in all honesty, it's kind of a disappointment when I used it. Still magic fox, what's not to love?
XIII: Fire-type starters have a long history of being strong, impressive Pokemon. Delphox is a disappointment in that regard; still powerful, still strong, still decent, but in a generation that largely delivered in terms of starters, Delphox stands out as something of a disappointment.
Para: don't like its colors as much as braixen - the brown is sort of ugly
mcflubbin: Frumpy fox.
Steiner: Really awkward design wise, though I like the type combination. I'm just not sure why this fox went all bipedal and so bottom heavy.
KommunistKoala: Delphox has grown on me some, as I initally just lumped it with Braixen. It did get the stick out of its ass so I can't hate it quite that much.
StifledSilence: I…uh…what? So many strange things going on here. The ear fur is creepiest though.
Scepter: Worst fire starter
Cybat: OK, I totally get the witch motif. (despite being 7/8 male) But that…doesn't mean…you….ear hair?!
swordz9: So much ear hair. Gen 1 did a better fire fox and it's one of my least favorite gens
Raka_Putra: I moved this down due to how fricking ugly and creepy it looks. If I saw a Greninja or a Chesnaught in my room, I'd be…wary, but also in awe. But if I saw this freaking monstrosity/crime against nature, I would scream, run, and die of heart attack. It's just so unnatural and it looks too humanoid. And it has stupid old-people ear hair that probably smells like dead people. I hate hate hate hate hate its design. Poor little girls and boys who chose Fennekin as their starter. They must be jaded criminals by now, held in juvenile detention centers. THIS IS BECAUSE OF DELPHOX.
Genny: Behold the towering inFURno. I just hate the crap out of this pokémon. Sorry Delphox fans, but when the sprite for it was revealed I thought it looked so unbelievably ludicrous that it couldn't possibly be real. All the promise it showed the first time Fennekin evolved... wasted. Nay, dropped right on its fluffy head. Mystic Fire is a cool move at least.
Deadpool: Also an ugly furry bait fox. Magician foxes are dumb. And wtf is up with those horrible ears. So bad
Wicklebee: #655, the witch pokemon. Rejected from the role of Mrs Weasley in Harry Potter because of her hairy ears, she has to simply becoming a lighter for smokers.

Natwaf: HELL YES GHOST/STEEL IS A REALITY! Shiny Honedge is fantastic. Cool looking NFE Trash.
MegamanX: I like the badass look of the Sword using himself as a sheath that he carries. Great design.
Inviso: It's a possessed sword that has the awesome Ghost/Steel-type combination, AND you can get it relatively early into the game. Yeah, it takes a while to evolve (plus it needs a stone to evolve beyond that), but it winds up being a great benefit and a cool concept all at once.
StifledSilence: Ghost swords are an excellent idea that should have been done in Pokemon many years ago.
Deadpool: Possesed blades are badass. But one is just not as badass as two.
Para: a simply cool design that gets overcomplicated by its evos
Raka_Putra: Every great line starts somewhere. Sometimes it's misleadingly underwhelming…sometimes it's greater than the final form, but most of the time it's just a slightly less good version yet still great, and that's what's going on with Honedge.
SuorGenoveffa: When Honedge was first revealed I hadn't realized what looked like its body was actually a sheath, so I wrote it off early as an ugly sword-like thing and moved on. When I met it in the game and it came out of its sheath, showing its will to fight for me... well, what could I do but catch it and bring it on my journey.
ctesjbuvf: Super cool, but really isn't too good before it evolves. Needs better moves earlier.
Anagram: Could be better, could be worse.
Wicklebee: #679, the no power pokemon. There is a legend that a dumb (editor's note: damnit wickle stop trying to get me modded) ghost was looking in an armory, and even though he had the power to posess a tank, he chose a rusted sword that can't cut anything.
Genny: Haunted sword. Pretty neat concept. I'd have liked it to evolve into a haunted suit of armor but I guess that would have looked too similar to Golurk (damn you Golurk *shakes fist*). I can't for the life of me figure out why it wasn't named Hexcalibur, which is beyond perfect but ah well. Can't win 'em all.
Cybat: Its…face? Is a little weird looking, but a pretty good start to the line. I actually like the color scheme on this one best.
swordz9: Shiny Honedge looks amazing

PrinceKaro: the best eeveelution. fuck the haters.
OrangeCrush: Sylveon-chan is the animu Eeveelution we all wanted.
Inviso: Everyone hates on Sylveon for having a bad design and for the flesh ribbons, and yeah, it's not the prettiest Eeveelution (still better than the abomination of Vaporeon). But what it lacks in visual appeal, it makes up for in being the best possible representative of the new Fairy-type. Strong special defense and a decent enough movepool...my Sylveon wound up being a star player when facing the Elite 4 since she got Hidden Power Water, giving her the ability to dominate many of the opponents on a regular basis. Plus, the flesh ribbons aren't THAT bad.
Para: so ridiculous that it's somehow awesome
Cybat: At first, I was not a fan of this design at all. But when I saw it in motion, with the ribbons flowing, it grew
on me. And when I actually trained one and used it in the Battle Maison, I was sold. This thing does not die. Also, Pokemon Amie is surprisingly fun in short bursts.
ctesjbuvf: It's great, probably ranks in the middle of the Eeveelutions.
Natwaf: Now this is an awesome fairy. Great HP, Spec Attack, and Spec Def? Sign me up! However, watch out, it has TWO requirements for it's evolution: know a fairy mvoe AND have at least two hearts in Pokemon Amie. It's worth it though, it looks cute and kicks ass.
swordz9: Can't believe we got a Fairy type Eevee evolution before the dozen other types that don't have one yet.
Raka_Putra: Ooh, pretty colors! Ribbons! Gradation! Evil eyes! Wait what. Still, it's a pretty pretty Pokemon. And quite interesting as one of the new Fairy Pokemon.
hotdogturtle: I don't like the way this thing looks at all, but you can't overlook the significance of its Hyper Voice in the Battle Maison (primarily in Triples).
Wicklebee: #700, the ribbon pokemon. Like a succubus, it lures its foes in with its cute nature and sucks them dry. But few people actually end up in a position where a Sylveon can actually take their life force. Inviso is one of her few victims.
MegamanX: This thing always looks soul-less to me. Like the ginger of Pokemon
Genny: I wasn't sold initially, but it grew on me. The ribbons of flesh which I initially despised are ironically now my favorite aspect of it. Good example of the Fairy type in my opinion.
Anagram: If I let my sister when she was six years old design a pokemon, it would look less stupid than this
Sanity: The Eevee no one asked for.
StifledSilence: Remember the part in Christmas Story when the father said "he looks like a pink nightmare"? This is who he was talking about.
Steiner: I like putting flesh ribbons in my mouth
SuorGenoveffa: I used to absolutely hate Sylveon and all its ribbons are still kind of unsettling. It's also incredibly annoying in VGC matches because Pixilate Hyper Voice is the only thing it is good at, but sadly it's the only niche it needs. I'm okay with its existence now, but it's still the worst Eeveelution indeed.
Ermine: FLESH RIBBONS! By far the worst Eeveelution. I miss the days of Jolteon and Umbreon where eeveelutions were actually good. The last ones we've gotten were Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon... just ugh... come on.
mcflubbin: The worst Eeveelution by far.
Deadpool: This is a really stupid fairy thing. Fuck Eevee and fuck all the loves its evolutions get when they are just meh pokemon. Well this one is complete shit. The rest are just meh. Except for Joltean. Joltean is awesome.
XIII: I'm pretty sure even fans of the Eeveelutions hate this thing. But yeah, routine bottom placement for an Eeveelution.

MegamanX: Both the male and female lions are perfectly designed.
PrinceKaro: Congratulations! Your Simba evolved into Mufasa!
StifledSilence: Having both a lion and a lioness was a nice bonus. I much prefer the lion though.
Anagram: Poor Pyroar. You're not even the signature pokemon of the Team Boss who designed his beard to emulate you.
Genny: Female's mane looks ridiculous and not in a good way, but Male Pyroar is more than enough to make up for her.
Inviso: Nowhere NEAR as cool as Luxray as far as lions go…but it's hard not to love a lion that's also a Fire-type. I like the fact that they kept in line with lion physiology and gave the different genders different hair styles (though the female looks TERRIBLE and would be better going bald). But again, it just doesn't compare to Luxray.
Wicklebee: #668, the lion pokemon. THIS POKEMON REQUIRES LOTS OF BOLD FOR ITS NAME CONTAINS ROAR
Cybat: I love lions but this one is kind of underwhelming. Its mane looks like it's been painted on, and the female version isn't very interesting. Also a victim of GameFreak Trolling ™ with learning Moxie as a hidden ability despite pretty clearly being special attackers. Entrainment shenanigans are cute and all, but come on.
Natwaf: Man, just when Flareon got moves, we get stuck with this thing. Stick Hyper Voice and Fire Blast/Flamethrower, and then… uhh… Hidden Power I guess, then a utility. STAB Normal is meh. Also, the female ones are ugly
swordz9: Male Pyroar is pretty cool looking, but female Pyroar isn't. I wish it had more good moves, but there's not much it can do.
ctesjbuvf: Really diasppointing Pokemon. It also doesn't look very cool.
XIII: I hate the 3D animations of these things. The way they come out of the Pokeball. Looks horrible. I should love a Lion with a flaming mane more, but it's completely boring to me.
SuorGenoveffa: Male one looks like a circus tent. Female one isn't too bad I guess.
Deadpool: The lion is not a lion that is good in anyway IMO. It also isn't bad but… that doesn't do much for it in this gen honestly. There aren't many pokemon I hate.
Ermine: Well they managed to screw up lions! I hate both of them.
Raka_Putra: How do you make a Pokemon so stupid looking and a let down? First, select a cool and popular animal that hasn't yet been properly represented in the series. Two, design Pyroar. Actually, forget step #1.
Para: pyroar's mane looks fucking stupid sorry

ctesjbuvf: So awesome. Best VI Pokemon right here. None of these ranks among the best Pokemon ever, but this thing at least comes somewhat close. Excellent in battle and cool type combination. I also absolutely love the way it was initially portrayed in the anime.
Cybat: It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize that this thing actually is an upside-down squid. Another example of a very cute concept, Contrary will always get a Pokemon high on my list. And it's nice to have a Dark/Psychic Pokemon finally, but I'm not 100% sure how it fits on this guy.
hotdogturtle: Malamar was leaked (with Inkay) on Pokebeach in May 2013. There were only 3 pieces of info: its name (spelled wrong), its typing, and its evolution method. As soon as I read it, I knew that it had to be my favorite gen 6 Pokemon. I worked out that it was an evil squid before we even had pictures of it. Once it was finally revealed, it did not disappoint. Well visually anyway... TOO BAD IT FUCKING SUCKS IN BATTLES, FUCK YOU GAME FREAK
Wicklebee: #687, the larger squid tail pokemon. After seeing Medusa's power up close, this pokemon designed its hair like hers, but never learned of her fate and doesn't realize that it was never the hair that gave the power.
XIII: I have so much love for this because of the excellent, unique evolution method. I don't know how you'd ever figure it out for yourself, but it's pretty ballin. Also Contrary/Superpower and Trick Room.
Raka_Putra: The name reminds me of tropical islands. Anyway, it's creepy looking but pretty fitting and the new moves are a lot of fun! And that typing…it's just a surprise box of Poke-fun.
Genny: This guy is kinda ugly. Kinda reeeeally ugly, but the most unique evolution method ever combined with awesome anime appearances makes kinda reeeeally like it. Remember way back when in Pokémon the anime or The First Movie or whatever when Nurse Joy (I think) said pokémon can't be evil, only their trainers? Well anime Malamars constantly shit all over that statement and it's great. More people should give X/Y a chance imo.
KommunistKoala: Love the creative evolution style and can't go wrong with contrary. A dark/psychic squid relying on fighting moves is still kind of weird.
Alanna82: cool gimmick
Natwaf: Did not expect Pokethulhu to make an appearance here. Being a mind flayer you'd expect being special or being a trickster right? On the Contrary, it's better off being a physical attacker. Oh sure it has Topsy Turvy and other options, but it's not fast nor durable enough. And it's special attack stat is laughable. Still, it has a unique evolution method. Even though it makes no sense in-game, unlike the other ones which you can at least accept in-game.
Anagram: Not nearly as tasty as the cookies.
swordz9: It's like some alien squid that controls your mind because it's so evil looking. Contrary also makes it nice to use.
Deadpool: Eh squid
SuorGenoveffa: It kind of looks cool upside down and it's quite original in execution. I mean: http://orig09.deviantart.net/1d2a/f/2013/193/6/6/realistic_maika_and_karamanero__inkay_and_malamar__by_reganismyfirstname-d6d22du.png
PrinceKaro: the person who came up with this method of evolution should be turned upside down and dropped on their head until they evolve some higher brain function.
Inviso: Dark/Psychic is a cool typing, and the fact that it gets Contrary, and a unique evolution method, make it stand out in the crowd…but I just don't care for it all that much. Not a huge fan of squids, and there's just so many great Dark-types out there that Malamar gets extremely overshadowed to me.
StifledSilence: Hey, jerk. You're not a cookie.
Para: sort of weird and creepy but not in a great way
MegamanX: I don't get it. Squid became a penguin?

Ermine: Clauncher > Clawitzer. He's a little cutie.
Deadpool: Such a cute crab
Inviso: As much as I typically hate Water-types for their overabundance, I have to give credit to Gen VI for having two full Water-type lines make my top 18. Clauncher is a cute design and a cool little gimmick, what with the powering up of Pulse moves. I wish it wasn't version exclusive though.
XIII: MEGA LAUNCHER
Para: man did I only rank this guy 29, gen 6 is good
swordz9: I knew Clauncher would be great. Forgot all those other crab and shrimp Pokemon.
SuorGenoveffa: It reminds me of real-life blue lobsters, they are the coolest things ever, how could I not love Clauncher.

Genny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5FEj9U-CJM

SuorGenoveffa: I love Diancie's diamond princess vibe and as I said, I love Carbink. It has an amazing Mega Evolution that was taken into account in this ranking but I will talk about it when the time comes. For now, let's appreciate the greatness of a stone/diamond princess who generates pink diamonds.
Cybat: I wish there was more of a relationship established (in gameplay) between Carbink and Diancie, but either way I really like the concept and design. Diamond Storm is a pretty badass signature move, too.
Para: yeah I dunno I just like it
OrangeCrush: This is definitely my favorite gen for event legends. Dinacie is such a cutie!
hotdogturtle: Pretty nice looking actually.
Sanity: So pretty.
XIII: Legendaries are cool and I like Mega Diancie, but ultimately this is a legendary Pokemon that only exists as a mutation of the pile of mediocre that is Carbink. It's hard to get behind a Pokemon like that.
Natwaf: Diancie… sucks. Fortunately, it's entire point is it's Mega. As it is, it's a cuter Carbink.
StifledSilence: I was skeptical of a feminine rock Pokemon but she's nicely designed.
Genny: It's a pretty little thing. I never knew what Carbunkle in the Final Fantasy games referred to until I looked this pokémon up so kudos to educating the masses. Honestly the event-only status sours me just a bit since I'll likely never have the opportunity to use one, but I still enjoy it for the concept alone. So... it's like a super mutated Carbink right?
MegamanX: I don't think ice Gardevoir was necessary
Inviso: It's an event Legendary, which is automatically going to hurt it for me. I mean, don't get me wrong…I can appreciate the occasional event legendary (like Jirachi/Mew/Celebi)…I just don't like the Rock/Fairy-typing. It's not a unique typing due to a random connection to a Pokemon that's already kinda boring.
ctesjbuvf: Boring legendary. The movie confirmed it sucks and why was this of all things the only gen VI Pokemon to have a mega?
Ermine: I do not like danci
Raka_Putra: I just can't bring myself to care about event only Pokemon. Xenophobia is still too strong in this world and event Pokemon will always remember us of the ugliness in people's hearts.
Deadpool: Yeah… female version of Carbink is way worse
Wicklebee: #719, the chandelier pokemon. This pokemon is used to decorate Chandelures that are relaxing around peoples homes. But then is grinded down by companies like Kay jewelers and never cared about again.

swordz9: Hoopa itself is ok, but Hoopa Unbound is a monster. It looks nothing like they've made before and it has the most incredible attack in the game too
Sanity: His regular form is ok, but that Unbound form, wow. Floating hands is one of my favorite enemy designs in games. Bongo Bongo is my favorite Zelda boss. Also, anything that attacks with portals is incredibly awesome. This guy is the whole package.
Genny: I'll admit I wasn't initially sold on its original design the first time I saw it. I appreciated that it was based on an honest to goodness djinni, and I mean the real careful what you wish for type mischievous spirit, not like that trio of ugly fucktards or whatever the hell Jirachi is. However it was still a little too cute for me I suppose. Then Hoopa Unbound happened. Need I remind you? http://i.imgur.com/S5F2TdV.gif Top 1 attack of all time, of ever. And this was revealed right around the same time as Dragon Ascent. Instant love.
OrangeCrush: At first, he was an ugly little shit and the worst event legendary since Heldeo. Then we got to see his unbound form in action: http://i.imgur.com/n58rTUa.gif
Natwaf: On it's own? Meh. And then THIS happened: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:720Hoopa-Unbound.png WHAT THE HELL? Awesome awesome awesome. It's probably also responsible for so many random legendaries appearing in ORAORAORAORA.

HOOPA FIRES HOLES IN THE SPACETIME CONTINUUM AT YOU.
Cybat: Its normal form is a little weird, it kinda looks like a Mega Man enemy. But then we saw the other form and holy shit what the hell. It threw me off at first but grew on me a lot, especially the concept of attacking through portals (like the incredibly well-known Spiderman villain Spot), and Hyperspace Fury is amazing.
mcflubbin: That second form is probably one of the most hilarious WTF things I've seen in Pokemon and I love it.
Para: kid form is dumb but the unbound form is pretty rad
KommunistKoala: That transformation and that ultimate move holy moly.
Inviso: The highest-ranked event legendary for me. I mainly rank it that way for having a cool and unique typing, plus it's name is just plain fun to say (also, it's second form is crazy).
ctesjbuvf: Can't rank Pokemon I haven't really tried yet, so it gets an average ranking.
Deadpool: Normal form Hoopa sucks. Unleashed Hoopa is fucking amazing. But those together make him eh in total
StifledSilence: Shouldn't the other dude be called Hoopa since he has a hoop over his head?
SuorGenoveffa: The thing with Hoopa is, its “base” form looks like a badly drawn gypsy clown and his Unbound form looks like a complete mess. But man are its moves and in-game lore holy cool, Hyperspace Hole has it assassinate your pokémon from behind and Hyperspace Fury... http://orig05.deviantart.net/e3ef/f/2014/337/9/1/hyperspace_fury_by_portal2player-d88jhvs.gif, LIKE, it literally comes behind you to laugh at your demise. I still don't like Hoopa but man, did this boost it in my eyes.
Wicklebee: #721, the ring pokemon. This pokemon tears apart unsuspecting Diancies and hands rings off to unsuspecting males looking to get laid, but usually those women go berserk and it just causes domestic abuse.
MegamanX: Rayman became an ugly Pokemon
Anagram: I kind of like how ugly it is, but that's its only redeeming feature. It seems pretty clear that Hoopa's only connection with hoops is the circle on its forehead, since the other hoops are clearly items it owns, which makes it about as connected to hoops as Klingons are to ridges.
Raka_Putra: It's like a creepy djinn, I hate it. But I can't deny that the exclusive move is pretty cool looking.

MegamanX: Dual wielding is always cool.
Raka_Putra: What's better than one sword Pokemon? TWO SWORDS POKEMON. You can't really argue with that.
ctesjbuvf: Really good even before being fully evolved, which is VERY nice for a change.
OrangeCrush: If one sword has a power of 100, then using two swords would make it 200, right?
Natwaf: HELL YES GHOST/STEEL IS A REALITY! I don’t know, but I always though Doublade had the worst look amongst it's family line. It's also NFE Trash, BUT WHO CARES DAT TPING YEEEEEESSSSSS
StifledSilence: While I kinda wish they went with something more unique for the middle evo, it's still hella cool.
Deadpool: IMO the best of its line(woops spoilers). The dual blades are amazing
Inviso: A whole three-form line in my top 22, eh? Doublade, like Honedge and Aegislash, is a very cool concept. It's a possessed set of swords that create a cool new Ghost/Steel-typing (that Golurk really should've been, even if I know it's based on golems, which are ground-based). But really, what hurts Doublade is that it's a middle form in a line that is essentially just like Magneton/Klang in that it's just adding more stuff to an existing design.
Cybat: The concept for this whole line is pretty great; I appreciate the sort of creepy aspects to its design like the tassel "arms" and faces on the swords, but it's a shame its name doesn't convey any ghostliness.
SuorGenoveffa: They make for some cool sword choreographic animations nonetheless.
Genny: It's Honedge x2! Okay normally I despise evolutions like these, but crossing two swords to make a coat of arms is actually pretty clever by Pokémon standards. I also somehow prefer Doublade's color scheme despite liking blue a helluva lot more than magenta. Weird... Doublade has the best design in the line.
XIII: Viable even as an NFE. I like the whole family.
swordz9: Double Honedge. Sometimes I wish Pokemon wasn't so lazy
Anagram: "Doublade" is just such a lazy pun.
Alanna82: Why does this make me think of Xenoblade?
Para: oh honedge was cool so let's do two of them. uggggh

Scepter: He's like that friend you like even though they have buck teeth
MegamanX: My favorite starter based on looks, unfortunate what he turns into.
StifledSilence: I had originally planned on picking Fennekin. Then I took a really close look at this little guy and realized how adorable he is. It was the closest I ever came to picking a Grass starter. But then they revealed tonguescarf and I was like nah never mind and picked Froakie. I regret that decision a little bit now.
Raka_Putra: The start of my favorite starter linethis gen and he's just so jolly and cheerful and energetic and OMG he's so adorable.
Genny: Cutest starter of the generation. I love its mug. It's really too bad it becomes what it does because the concept of a combination chipmunk and chestnut was promising.
Ermine: Ches pin pin~ This little guy in the anime is pretty cute and has a fun personality. Definitely has been boosted a bit for me from it and I've grown to like him quite a decent amount.
Anagram: Serviceably cute, but like Tepig it turns into hideous garbage.
XIII: D'aww. Chespin is pretty great.
Deadpool: Cute porcupine/chipmunk/hedgehog mix thing is cute
ctesjbuvf: This thing is fresh and full of good mood in the anime. I like it.
Wicklebee: #650, The CP Munk pokemon. He was rejected from Alvin's crew because he couldn't sing with the worst voice to come out of an animal.
Cybat: Not quite as…concrete a design as the other Grass starters, but he's cute. The only non-reptilian Grass starter, too, whereas Fire has only had two that weren't mammals. Weird.
Para: he's just sorta there
Inviso: Yup, Chespin line fully eliminated. Sorry about it, but hell, it did better than the awful Turtwig line did. Chespin's cute…it just gets supremely overshadowed by Fennekin and Froakie while not having the strongest evolutions to back it up.
OrangeCrush: Prior to Gen VI, I always liked grass starters. Sometimes they were meh in battle, or their evolutions took a weird turn, but if worst came to worst I could always count on their first form being good. Well, not anymore. Right off the bat, Chespin was clearly the worst of the 3 starters. And then its evolutions were even worse... yikes. It's fitting that Chespin was what broke Ash's trend of always using each region's grass starter.
swordz9: The best thing about Chespin is this one LoZ fan art I saw of it once with it holding a Bronzor and Honedge.
Steiner: Kinda cute but just looks like a little man wearing a leafy hat. What is it meant to be?

OrangeCrush: She's good, but overshadowed by Gogoat.
Deadpool: Such a cute goat
Ermine: Not as great as Gogoat but still pretty adorbs. I would not object to having a Skiddo.
MegamanX: Cute effective design, not a huge change in its evolutionary line but it improves when it does. Good start.
Raka_Putra: My, this little kid is just irresistible. Well, actually, it's resistible but still, it's the thought that counts.
swordz9: Skiddo is pretty great and only gets greater when it evolves. It looks like it would be a nice pet to have too.
ctesjbuvf: I can ride around on this thing and it's fun!
StifledSilence: lololol I get it cuz it’s a kiddo that skids.
Wicklebee: #672, the happy goat pokemon. This Poke likes running into walls, literally, only 20% of these guys evolve into Gogoats, the other 80% suffer brain damage and end up dead.
Inviso: Skiddo's cute enough, but then it evolves and becomes completely forgettable. Sorry, but you've gotta be really f***inf cute to make me appreciate you when you have a badass evolution, and Skiddo is just KINDA cute.
XIII: Going to the restaurants in Lumiose and having these things serving you, or lying around in the streets, was kind of adorable
Anagram: Something about its face reminds me of Doug Funny. Man, that show was garbage.
Genny: So adorable. I love goat kids and imo Skiddo actually has a way better design than its evolution. Unlike its evolution however, it can't be ridden (at least not in the game I don't think). Just a couple points off for that. I love that its horns resemble bicycle handles and its evolution's look like motorcycle handlebars. Shit like that is so clever, yo.
Para: yeah
Cybat: Cute but pretty forgettable, except for the brief part where you get to ride him for no real reason.

Ermine: Easily the best of his line in terms of design. IMO it's one of the best designed birds in all of pokemon and his name is excellent as well. It's kind of a disappointing downgrade to Talonflame in terms of name and design and it's really unfortunate that Fletchy is going to lose to it but meh.
SuorGenoveffa: The reason I like Fletchinder more than Talonflame is that I really love its color scheme and general shape much more. Those yellow wings in particular really give me the idea of a speedy little demon. It's like Pidgeotto all over again.
Para: coolest of its line I think, it's just sleek and cool looking
Genny: Okay so the first time I heard of this pokémon I thought to myself, "What the hell makes IT so special as to be derserving of a 11 letter name when Feraligatr is so desperately missing its 'o' eh?" Then I saw it. In that moment my heart instantly accepted it 11 letters and all. Fantastic design, easily best of the line and all forms look great so that's no easy feat.
swordz9: Fletchinder's design is so great I wouldn't mind it being the final evolution if it got Talonflame's stats.
Inviso: The highest of its line, I rank Fletchinder the best because I feel as though Talonflame was a step down in terms of overall design. Fletchinder kept the somewhat cartoonish vibe and patterning from Fletchling, and it actually looks nice, whereas Talonflame tries to be too badass and is hurt for this. Given that Fletchinder has everything Talonflame does in terms of abilities, it's easily the superior option. Also, only Pokemon with more than ten letters in its name. Fun fact.
Anagram: Dumb but serviceable.
StifledSilence: Angry teenage fire birdy.
Steiner: Fletchinder looks like Fletchling grown up by a LOT. Fletchling looks like a baby Pokemon in comparison
Wicklebee: #662, the angry bird pokemon. This guy is sick and tired of being thrown at pigs.
MegamanX: It's....average
ctesjbuvf: It is a boring middle evolution, but it is also decent enough.
Raka_Putra: Sorry I don't have anything interesting to say, check the write up below me instead, that guy's interesting. V
PrinceKaro: props for not making this another damn normal/flying type.
Cybat: Oh look a middle stage bird. Anything interesting about this one? "Fletchinder has the longest English name of all known Pokémon, at 11 letters long." Eh. Nope.
Deadpool: Just an eh bird again. Isn't nearly as cute as Fletchling though so that is a negative

Genny: What a shock, the lover of middle forms and Water types has a second stage Water starter super high up. Yeah, yeah I know. Just as a reminder, I love frogs. Will probably explain some of my other rankings when poor Frogadier shows up last in its line.
Deadpool: Badass ninja frog is very badass. Too bad it evolves into the super shitty tongue scarf dude :/
Anagram: Look at his face. He knows he looks stupid and he just doesn't even care.
Inviso: Froakie was good, and Frogadier improves on that original design by elongating the arms and legs and making for a fast and nimble creature. I love that they actually gave us some fast-looking Water-starters in Gens V and VI, instead of the typical fat Pokemon associated with that typing.
Wicklebee: #657, the grenader pokemon. During his days in 'nam, this pokemon earned a scar on his neck that he covers with the ripped wool off of a Mareep.
Para: definitely the coolest of its line
swordz9: How can you not like a ninja frog with a frubble scarf?
MegamanX: Much better but a bit plain, he is no Wartortle.
Ermine: Worst of his line by quite a margin but still decent I suppose.
Steiner: Froakie starts his progression towards becoming a master ninja, but he's pretty awkward at this point
SuorGenoveffa: Frogs are still repulsive but Frogadier looks like a cool guy who does plenty of cool things.
XIII: Pretty nice, not as good as Greninja. It's pretty ballin though.
Cybat: See, a bubble scarf is weird, but it's much less weird than a tongue scarf. Come on guys. Also, apparently "Its swiftness is unparalleled. It can scale a tower of more than 2,000 feet in a minute's time." oooooooookay
Raka_Putra: I like that name but this is not one of those stand-out middle evos.
StifledSilence: Textbook boring middle evolution.
ctesjbuvf: When Ash's Froakir evolved, it lost all personality. That really drags it down.

KommunistKoala: Wish he was a little stronger, but gave the Great Goomy the evolution it deserves
Sanity: There needs to be more slimey dragons in the world.
Natwaf: Special tanker! It got robbed of a fairy type though. Mono-Dragon is so Gen V. That said, it has loads of sets, much like it's brethren pseudo-legendaries, and it kicked ass in my Y playthrough.
swordz9: Big gooey tanky dragon. Getting one is annoying thanks to having to find a spot it's raining, but it's worth it.
XIII: I dunno why he's melting like wax, but it's pretty amusing. Also a pretty cool tank with a great movepool and a neat, unique - if somewhat awkward - evolution method. Probably the worst pseudo-legendary though
ctesjbuvf: This thing is decent, but boring with a very uncreative design. The anime made me like it a bit less, as Ash got one undeserved in no time for one battle, then released it.
Deadpool: Amazing gooey dragon is great.
Scepter: Disappointing ending to the line
Raka_Putra: Big tubby slime dragon hehehe it's kind of adorable really.
Genny: Urgh... no. Goomy was gold stricken as a concept. A "weak little snotrag that eventually becomes super powerful and how the fuck is it a dragon anyway" was always going to lose SOME charm once it evolved because it was going to start resembling what it was meant to be. Goodra however hearkens back to my dread of the Barney the Dragonsaur build. It's even purple and green and happy. I can't accept this. Give me back my goo ball!
OrangeCrush: More like Badra
Anagram: Vaguely disgusts me and I'm not completely sure why
StifledSilence: B8 has really odd dragon opinions so this goofy thing will probably place high.
MegamanX: Ugly snot creature
Inviso: I do not like the Goodra line. I find it overrated because it's far and away the lamest of the pseudo-legendary dragons. I just hate that you create a dragon that's all goopy and gross, and then you make it mono-type. No Water…no Poison (both of which need a full line as opposed to one FE in a line). Meh.
Wicklebee: #706, the slime monster pokemon. There's a tale that any monster that gets this gooey simply must visit a certain spiritual bath house, and will be washed by some strange girl who will also free you from your slimy burden.
SuorGenoveffa: I mean, there are people calling Dragonite a derp dragon who are okay with this gross atrocity. Like, the anti Gen 1 bias is real, guys. Also has one of the stupidest evolving methods conceived.
Cybat: Even doofier than Dragonite. I put a Goomy on my team when I got it but then dumped it in shame when the battle with Bianca showed me what he would turn into. Very upsetting.

hotdogturtle: As soon as I first saw Dragalge's design I knew that it was a worthwhile evolution to Skrelp, taking the "seahorse that looks like seaweed" to even even further extreme. It's just a shame that it has a terrible stat distribution, making 5 out of its 6 stats bad. At least it has Adaptability.
Anagram: Such a cool concept and design. I used one and it blew chunks, but at least its concept and design are top notch.
Sanity: Leafy seadragons are one of my favorite animals. I love the idea of one that looks like rotting kelp. Not only does it help to blend in, but no predator would really want to eat it either. To go with the rot theme, it's poisonous! It's fitting, and poison is cool.
mcflubbin: Fuck yeah poison/dragon seahorse.
ctesjbuvf: Really great in battle! Cool twist of making this dragon/poison.
SuorGenoveffa: Poison/Dragon is a really unique typing, and Dragalge pulls it off perfectly. It's just a great design all around, full of detail and portraying it with the deadly grace a poisonous dragon needs and deserves. Hats off. I also love running it with an Assault Vest and have it dish the damage while tanking like a boss.
Wicklebee: #691, the lagoon pokemon. Back for the first time since 1966, this monster continues to ask where it belongs, to be met with replies saying "Uncertain."
Cybat: The only Poison Pokemon introduced in gen 6 turns out to be a dragon; not too shabby. I like both of its color schemes and its abilities (Adaptability woo) but not its name so much. Oh well.
Alanna82: Now this one is cool looking and has unique typing
Deadpool: Badass underwater dragon seahorse combo is badass
Para: just has a super rad design
Genny: Finally a Poison/Dragon and it's not a wyvern of some sort? Neato! Dragalge looks fucking awesome. THIS is what a sea dragon should be people. Take notes, Skrelp you sad little mockery you. That learnset is amazing, making excellent use of its two typing to give a novice player a variety of STAB moves to exploit, and for the more experienced player it can learn a variety of unusual type moves to keep your opponents guessing. Also its shiny coloration is as beautiful as a rainbow on a summer afternoon.
Natwaf: Aww yeah Poison/Dragon. But that should have been the hydra's element instead of dark. Oh well. That said, this thing is lacklusterr offensively, and slow as well. Great Spec Def though. Initially I preferred this to Clawitzer, but now I've changed my mind.
Raka_Putra: Dragon/Poison? In my Pokemon? It's more likely than you'd think! But brown and purple is not really what I'd call flattering.
XIII: I like Dragon Pokemon, but - and this is weird - I feel like Dragalge is too thin to love. Like it's somehow not accessible or something like that. But he's pretty cool: it's a nice, unique typing, and just generally seems cool. Though possibly a little too much on the Kingdra side of things.
Inviso: I used one on my game-winning team in Y, mostly because I wanted a Water-type for surfing purposes, and Skrelp was the only real option. But the fact that this is a brand new typing and it's actually a pretty cool typing of Dragon/Poison, is nice. I just wish the design was better, because if it was, I'd have no problem ranking this much higher than I do.)
Ermine: He's kind of just there...
KommunistKoala: Cool typing, though Goodra reminds me more of poison/dragon with the way some sort of gooey liquid drips off of it all the time.
swordz9: Nice to see a new type combo in Poison/Dragon, but it's not very amazing looking or great to use
StifledSilence: You know, it's ok to not have dragon lines sometimes. Really.
MegamanX: I have no idea what this is, coral reef?

Raka_Putra: Ah yeah. I'll admit Chesnaught is not perfect, but he's my starter and he's just so darling. He's pretty strong and reliable and I LOVE the design. It just looks so dependable, yet friendly and kinda cute. Who's a big spiky plant yeti? YES YOU ARE YES YOU ARE
Scepter: He's like that friend you like even though they're ugly
SuorGenoveffa: The Knight/Tank of the starter trio. I'm a huge Bowser fan and Chesnaught really has a Bowser-vibe going on. Obviously it was my starter of choice, and its raw power combined with its tanky stats have served me well. It also looks... oddly cute in the Amie, Chesnaught is like a perfect blend of things that I love.
Ermine: This guy totally looks like a Digimon but I'm quite fine with this. He's just got a really slick design and I've grown to appreciate him a lot lately. Sucks that you have to go through Quilladum to get to this guy but I'd say he's worth it IMO
XIII: Chesnaught is a rare victory for the grass-type starters. Great typing, great signature move, looks like a boss, nice hidden ability and signature move too. I'd almost be tempted to use it if Greninja didn't deliver on every possible level.
StifledSilence: The Nintendo/Capcom relationship deepens with this robot master Pokemon.
ctesjbuvf: I guess all starters here are decent. It's actually pretty strong. I like that they made the grass the fighting type for a change.
Cybat: This design kind of rubs me the wrong way; its face, its stiff arms, its too-light color scheme...I was happy to not look at my Quilladin anymore, of course, but, eh. Still, Spiky Shield is pretty neat (even if he only had it as a signature move for about a year, sigh) and he even gets a signature ability that is not useless. And hey, it's a fighting-type starter that's not the fire one. Rejoice.
KommunistKoala: Didn't like it at first, but it grew on me.
Steiner: Sudden radical overhaul of design was drastically needed and Chesnaught pulled it off. New colour scheme, new shell, just suddenly looks much cooler. Plus, is kind of a beast in battle, having one of my favourite type combinations.
MegamanX: Digimon wants its guy back. I don't hate this design but its goofy.
Natwaf: Ehh… better looking than Delphox at least.
Deadpool: Oh boy I feel like this is the one I like I am going to get the most hate for. The shell is cool. Like really fucking cool. I like him. The looks just work for me. And seeing as I really dislike parts of the other two lines this line became my defacto starter because it is the only one that isn't completely horrible IMO. But yeah I like the look.
Wicklebee: #652, the juggernaut pokemon. Slimmed up and got ahold of enough armor to star in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Think that's where there were juggernauts.
Sanity: I like the idea of this Pokemon more than the design. Still, it's not bad.
swordz9: I don't know what it's based on, but I like it. Aren't my write-ups AMAZING
Para: I dunno, I go back and forth on this guy being sort of cool or sort of dumb
Inviso: Just barely making it out my bottom ten, Chesnaught is essentially the Meganium/Torterra of Gen VI, in that it's a lame Grass-type that prevents the generation from having three awesome starter final forms. Chesnaught only really bothers me because Chespin and Quilladin are both cute, and then Chesnaught changes to an ugly color scheme and looks bulky and slow and awful. Should've just expanded on Quilladin.
Anagram: Just ugly as hell.
OrangeCrush: A bad end to the worst starter line.
Genny: I remember when this was first revealed how half the people were all "Yeah, see I KNEW the Grass line wouldn't let me down". Well I was in the other half going "Lol um..." I never got the appeal. It looks stupid and clunky and slow and big shock it is. I hate tanks. Cool name, but it's got literally nothing else going for it.

Cybat: Treants are yet another concept that was long overdue in Pokemon, and this one did not disappoint. With an imposing design and useful abilities (and a long-awaited typing), this is one that I definitely had to use ingame.
Wicklebee: #709, the tree that laughs pokemon. When a tree falls down in the forest while no one is around to see it, this pokemon grabs the fallen tree and chucks it out of the forest, occasionally a bug catchers is hit with that tree and blacks out, thankfully he wakes up in the Pokemon Center later.
StifledSilence: This is easily one of the best ghosts ever. A creepy ghost tree? Hell yes!
Sanity: A haunted tree with an evil eye is neat.
KommunistKoala: The ghost plants were pretty rockin.
Raka_Putra: Fun gimmics could be the theme of Gen VI. It's just so fun to experiment with them. I didn't get to do it much because Trevenant comes late in the game.
Natwaf: Awesome, I've always wanted a treant, and this ghost dead tree fits the bill. Harvest, as always, is hilariously annoying. Major bonus point for that Trevenant x4/Sudowoodo horde. Always makes me laugh everytime I see it.
swordz9: I can't believe we got two Ghost/Grass lines in the same Gen. Why bother with the Pumpkaboo line when Trevenant exists.
XIII: Save this for whichever of Gourg/Trev is higher: I'm not sure why we need two broadly similar Pokemon, but I like both. Gourgeist higher on my list because I like Pumpkins.
ctesjbuvf: For a new type combination, this was really disappointing.
Ermine: I appreciate his design, pretty interesting.
Deadpool: Spooky tree is spooky. I like him.
SuorGenoveffa: Treants are amazing and I'm surprised it took this long for GameFreak to make a real treant pokémon. I would've given it more branches and leaves myself, but can't complain.
Genny: I love Trents, Ents, and walking trees in fictional media. It really is about time Pokémon got one and Trevenant is perfect for the part despite the name being a tad awkward. Forest's Curse is a badass signature move.
Inviso: Yeah, this line is just inferior to the Pumpkaboo line. It's not as cute, it doesn't have a great gimmick, and it doesn't even feel all that special since it's a trade evolution (IIRC) that you can catch in the wild. I mean, the typing is still cool, but I'd rather try out a different Grass-type for this generation.
Anagram: Among the pokemon I've used and care the least about. Trevenant made it onto my endgame XY team largely because I went through the game with five pokemon and figured "Well, I may as well bring SOMETHING in the sixth slot to the Elite Four."
MegamanX: Demon tree is demonic looking but not very Pokemon looking

Anagram: Rawr
Ermine: Awesome little dino.
KommunistKoala: A level of cute badassery that is only topped by one other NFE.
swordz9: There are no words that do Tyrunt justice, but I love this mini T-rex Pokemon.
Inviso: Can you say cutest fossil first form? I can. And I will. About Tyrunt. It's adorable that we finally got a real tyrannosaurus and the baby is like, 70% jaws. I just love the fact that we got this awesome new Dragon-typing and it looks appealing, rather than outright boring or stupid.
StifledSilence: Tyrod Taylor.
SuorGenoveffa: I want a pet Tyrunt, so awesome.
Wicklebee: #696, the big head pokemon. This pokemon is the child of the dinosaur that starred in Meet the Robinsons. One day it wishes to grow big like that dino. Probably will when it stops having slap fights with Cranidos.
Genny: Evolved form is definitely superior, but let's not forget how awesome Tyrunt is guys. Nor shall we forget its rivalry with Cranidos. http://cdn.pokestache.com/2013/11/18/pokestache.com_7777_1384886931.jpg Seriously G.O.A.T. fanon rivalry in pokémon.

Ermine: Heliolisk is a fantastic pokemon and only recently did I discover that he barely sneaked into my overall top 10 Pokemon. Wow! A bit sad he's not better competitively... but when are any of the pokemon I like. I feel a bit sad that this will be the last first place write up I get to do for ranking pokemon... at least for a long while. My first playthrough of X I used a Heliolisk pretty much all the way through and it was a ton of fun, it's just a bit unfortunate that his pre evo is really really awful but eh, what can you do.
Deadpool: This lizard is a motherfucking amazing badass
Para: rad lizard dude
Genny: I initially loved this little guy but the more I see of him the hastier I realize I once was. Don't get me wrong, Heliolisk is obviously still great, just not greatest of all time. I love the concept of a solar panel-based pokémon that takes influence from frilled lizards and common basilisks- two of my favorite reptiles. I just think it looks a little lame with its hood extended. Makes me a bit sad. Also the fact that I often confuse it with its unevolved form because Helioptile sounds more like the name of a fully evolved pokémon.
Natwaf: Man, the normal/<other type> pokemon this gen sucks. I was all hype to use this thing… and then it didn't even get STAB Normal until ORAORAORAORA >_>. Still, it has Surf, so it has some usage in my team. And frilled Lizards are always cool.
Wicklebee: #695, the screaming lizard pokemon. Everytime it sees an enemy, it screams at the top of its lungs and makes even Shaggy and Scooby Doo seem like courageous figures.
ctesjbuvf: Somewhat good, but this gen didn't deliver with the electric type either. Normal type… why actually?
swordz9: It looks so much better with the frills up so why is the default look with them down ugh
"hotdogturtle: apology for poor english when were you when you when nerf is confirm?
i was sat at home playing kid icarus when pjotr ring
'thunder is nerf'
'why'"
Inviso: I think I would like this more if it wasn't half Normal-type. I don't know why, but something about this being a Normal type when it really doesn't need to be (hell, give the route where it's found, Ground or Rock might even work better) makes me rank it lower. It looks cool though, and I like how its neck expands to make it more intimidating.
MegamanX: Reminds me of the dinosaur that killed newman in Jurassic Park. I like its design but the colors aren't my favorite combination
Cybat: I enjoy how his different abilities let him fit into multiple weather teams. It's a cute little design element that's not really touched on, but is memorable anyway. Otherwise, just your standard early small-animal Electric type. Frilled lizards are cool, but this guy looks kinda dumb with his up.
Raka_Putra: It's weird and kinda scary but I appreciate it for looking different. I guess I should consider it for a runthrough one day.
XIII: Unexpectedly quite good. Not sure why it's normal type though.
Anagram: Derp.
StifledSilence: I like yellow and goofy grins.
PrinceKaro: I loved helioptile from the minute I saw him. Was very disappointed when he evolved into this idiotic looking fucker.

Wicklebee: #699, the one that died in LBT pokemon. Littlefoot's family also survived both the meteor and the ice age, and grew fabulous fin-like things.
Genny: It's... it's just so pretty. This will most definitely be spoilers for my list, but I don't give a shit. I prefer the queen to the king of fossils, even if the latter has the superior design. I just feel like Aurorus is the far more unique pokémon, not in terms of typing or design, but rather in FEEL. There are a handful of pokémon based on sauropods, but none of them are anything like this one. BTW how awkward is it for a majority male species to be based on female monarchy?
Inviso: Seriously, best pair of fossil Pokemon ever. Aurorus may be super weak to Steel and Fighting and a whole mess of things, but I don't care. It's definitely the prettiest of the fossil Pokemon, and that means something to me, especially since there's far too many over-designed and ugly Ice-types and Rock-types. For Aurorus to look as cool as it does (while having the Refrigerate ability, making things even cooler), is pretty much a miracle, and I'm glad for that miracle.
SuorGenoveffa: ...And the contrast between Tyrantrum and Aurorus works so well compared to the random fossils they had before. Aurorus, despite a terrible typing, has an amazing ability in Refrigerate, an unique move in Freeze-Dry and this majestic, beautiful appearance to it.
ctesjbuvf: Pretty good Pokemon. Ice/Rock is not as great as Ice/Ground though.
XIII: This thing is weirdly elegant. I dig it.
Sanity: Dinosaur Pokemon are usually stupid looking, but this one is pretty glorious.
Cybat: Rock/Ice is…well…really bad. But look at this thing, it's so regal and elegant while still being dinosaur-like and a little intimidating.
Para: sure I like stupid lizards but this thing is almost too derpy for even my tastes
Natwaf: Oh man Rock/Ice is such a hilariously bad typing. Didn't even get Hyper Voice in it's debut game. I will say that it's beautiful though. Too bad it's ****ing awful.
Raka_Putra: I don't like the shape of…you know, long-necked dinosaurs. It's just too docile and bulky for me. That's why I couldn't really like this line a lot. But still, it's not - bad - for sure.
swordz9: The design is pretty great. It's definitely one of the better fossil Pokemon out there, but the typing and slow speed just make using it difficult.
Deadpool: It is a decent dinosaur. The fin stuff is a bit much though so it is only decent.
StifledSilence: Aurorus Beam
Anagram: Too bad you're ****ing useless.
Ermine: Yawn
MegamanX: I'm not a fan of the jelly fish fins

OrangeCrush: I still remember when the Kalos starters were first revealed and Fennekin was the most popular of the trio by a wide margin. He was so darn cute, and we all know that firefoxes are awesome! But then Delphox was released and no one cared about Fennekin anymore. I know that an NFE evolving into something disappointing sucks, and sometimes it can be so bad it ruins the line (i.e. Reuniclus), but I still feel that people are too hard on Fennekin. If you have a problem with Delphox, just leave it with him and accept that Fennekin's still the coolest first stage Kalos starter.
PrinceKaro: It should surprise absolutely no one that I really like the fennec fox pokemon.
MegamanX: This fox is adorable!
Ermine: The whole Fennekin line has dropped a little for me and I guess I have anime Fennekin to blame a bit for it. It's not that bad at all, but I expect anime appearances to BOOST my opinion of pokemon for me, not make them equal or slightly worse, so yeah. It's still pretty cute and great.
Inviso: JUST misses out on the top ten, but that's not bad, given how biased I tend to be against NFEs (hell, this Gen had one actually make it into my top ten overall). Fennekin was the main thing that got my hyped for the game's release, because after I was slightly disappointed by the handling of Zorua/Zoroark in Gen V, I loved that we got a cute fox in Gen VI AND it turned out to be a Fire-type. It still doesn't hold a candle to the Vulpix line, but it's damn cute.
Anagram: It's hard to screw up generic cute foxes.
StifledSilence: Mozilla Firefox. I considered picking Fennekin until I saw what it evolved into.
Genny: I feel like its tiny pencil neck should snap under the weight of its comparatively immense cranial unit. I mean I can't mention Piplup and Torchic's fat heads without pointing out that Fennekin's is literally too large for its frame to support it under normal physics. However it's still a fennec fox and those are fantastic little creatures. This thing could look twice as ridiculous and I'd still like it for granting us this concept. <3
Sanity: ~I'm all ears~
Para: yes it is a fox
XIII: I guess the little Firefox is cute, but that's about it.
Raka_Putra: I use Chrome.
ctesjbuvf: Cute and all, but was uesless as a result of being cute in the anime, which drags it down.
Cybat: As though you could make a first stage Pokemon based on a fennec fox and not make it adorable. Come on, this is easy mode.
Steiner: A cute starter. Had potential to go somewhere.
Wicklebee: #653, the yellow wannabe vulpix. Really, not even a Pokemon.
SuorGenoveffa: Poor man's Vulpix.
swordz9: Oh my god a fire type fox how original. I'm not a big Gen 1 fan, but even I think this looks worse than Vulpix.

Anagram: Noivern is not one of the better dragons out there, but it served me very well in the Battle Maison, so I give it a pass.
ctesjbuvf: This thing really picks up upon evolution! Really awesome and really fun to use.
XIII: Pretty cool Dragon-type. Love the subwoofers for ears and Boomburst. Oh and the speed.
Cybat: So in my X playthrough I was running around Victory Road still looking for my sixth team member, when a Noibat literally fell onto my head. The rest was history. Despite being yet another Dragon/Flying type, this guy distinguishes itself with a pretty cool design, ludicrous speed, oh, and Boomburst. Still waiting for that Sound type though, GameFreak.
Wicklebee: #715, the slap fight pokemon. After many years of wide ears, it began to be able to listen to its surroundings and catch its pray with great accuracy and speed. It then would get in slap fights which caused its wings to grow.
Natwaf: This thing looks awesome, no doubt about that. Too bad it's offensive stats are low. Shame, I was setting up a Telepathy Boomburse team with Noivern as the center, but it was too annoying getting the right Raichu.
Ermine: Not quite as great as Noibat but I still like him decently.
Deadpool: Badass dragon with fucking boom boxes.
MegamanX: My favorite bat since Gligar. Has a very menacing look instead of stupid (See Zubat line)
Raka_Putra: I tried to use her, but it was late game and so I was not exactly motivated and there was not really any good chance for me to grow on her. Still, she looks amazing and the type of combination is fun fun fun. Cool guy.
Genny: Yay big-eared bat. "Sound" really needs to be a type in my opinion. Exploud, Audino, Seismitoad, Chatot, and now this bat with boombox ears. I swear it'll be a thing by 8th generation. You heard it here first!
Para: yeah, just a really nice design for a dragon
swordz9: Boom box dragon. I bet they're great at parties.
StifledSilence: We're doing bat dragons now? *sigh* Well at least you're pretty cool.
OrangeCrush: A Darkfang Dragonmon that I don't get the love for.
Inviso: Yeah, Noibat is ugly, and Noviern is not much better. Why is Rayquaza the only well-designed Dragon/Flying FE we've ever gotten. Seriously, there is no reason for us nor to have gotten something totally badass (without being a quadruped like Salamence, or derpy like Dragonite). I just wish it was more useful.
PrinceKaro: Its really a shame they had to ruin such an awesome design by fusing a pair of fucking speakers to his head.

Genny: Benjamin Froaklin aka Gentleman Frog is just so great. I remember when I first saw him I thought he'd evolve into like some kind of dignitary because if the white gloves, beard, and spectacles. Note: Vastly prefer the direction the line went in instead. Let's talk about Ash's Froakie. Actually no need to talk about it. Just know it's amazing. <3
Ermine: Froakie Fro~ Ash's Froakie in the anime was totally awesome and I loved his voice. Definitely got boosted from the anime for me.
Steiner: This is one of the most adorable of all cute Pokemon. Look at his massive eyes and his tiny webbed feet! Aw. Frogs are great too.
Raka_Putra: Well, starters get a bit of boost from me, because, like, they are THE big thing of each Gen you see. You see them first (both in publication and in the game proper) and they can make or break a game. I like Froakie's coloration and his potential so that's why.
XIII: A nice, cute starter that is the start of smoething great.
OrangeCrush: I wish Gamefreak hadn't revealed the starter names right away, so that we could've made fan nicknames like with Isshu. I wanted to call this guy Scholarfrog.
Inviso: Weakest of its line, but that's by no means a bad thing, since the Froakie line is the best overall Water starter line in the series. I wasn't expecting a lot at first, but it's cute, evolves into cool stuff, and Protean is an extremely useful ability.
Deadpool: Such a cute frog
Anagram: The latest in Ash's long line of 'badass' starter pokemon.

StifledSilence: If it wasn't for the elite tonguescarf I wouldn't have picked boring frog.

PrinceKaro: Every once in a while you see a pokemon that hits the sweet spot of being original without being silly. Rather than make 'just another cat' they decided to go the route of this cat/bunny thing with a second pair of eyes hidden in its ears that is equal parts cute and creepy.
Genny: I like the gender differenciation this generation took with a couple of its species. I adore the designs of both varieties, but if I had a gun to my head and was forced to choose between them I'd say I prefer female Meowstic's design by a hair. I like the idea of a psychic kitty that isn't in the Eevee family for some reason, and I think the eye-ear concept is an interesting one. The only thing I don't like about it is the name. Meow + Mystic is just a little too on the nose. Plus we had so many meow puns already.
Inviso: I like Meowstic for a lot of the same reason I like Espeon (not really furry stuff again, since the Meowstic artwork out there isn't great). It stands out as being cute and visually appealing, as opposed to most Psychic-types that try to be weird and deliberately off-putting with their designs. I like the differences in genders, and unlike Pyroar, the stats are different too (and Meowstic fights the good fight for feminism by switching up traditional gender roles and making the female the badass one). It's just a cool like cat Psychic that, while not on Espeon's level, is still awesome.
swordz9: I like how there are two great designs and both are good at different things.
Para: psychic cat is not normally my thing but it's just a cool design, and the fact that it has eyes in its ears is creepy as shit
Cybat: I don't know what it is but the male design of this Pokemon really strikes me. I don't really enjoy its name or the female form, but I don't know, I just really like the blue and white color scheme for the male. It's neat how the two have different movesets, too.
mcflubbin: Finally there's a cat pokemon that I actually like a lot.
Deadpool: This is a very nice cat
StifledSilence: They're like cute little French hipsters sitting in a café and getting rubs and pets.
Ermine: Male >>>>>>>>>>>> Female
Anagram: I like the male one more than the female one. Let's not have a big argument over whether or not it's weird to call things 'female,' okay?
Raka_Putra: Pretty cool dual coloring and, really, making a psychic cat works out beautifully. But I didn't use them so I have no personal connection to them.
Natwaf: *insert sexism rant debate here*. Anyhoo, Female > Male, but I'm offensive like that. That said, Prankster Dual Screen male is always good, and Female can get scary if hit by Intimidate. They're cute and all, but ehh.
MegamanX: Clean design, nice color scheme
KommunistKoala: Girl version is pretty good.
XIII: It's a fucking cat. Really boring and uninspired design even if there are two of them.
ctesjbuvf: For a fully evolved psychic, this one sucks.
SuorGenoveffa: At least the female version looks unimpressed, which kind of makes it slightly less awful. That aside, these two creep me out and for all the wrong reasons.
Wicklebee: #678, the 85th meow pokemon. Everytime this cat calls out, a kid comes by and punches a different one in the face, hoping they'll all die.

Natwaf: The superior legendary, the death bird of Destruction. Dark/Flying is great, and it has a lot of move pool options, with fantastic stats to boot. I think my favorite use was as a Taunter though. **** you Kalos restaurants, my death bird prevents your Protect spam. Looks very cool to boot.
Raka_Putra: Man I should really name a Yveltal 'Yvonne'. But anyway, this design is really, really, amazing. The lore about him is unbelievably menacing
Cybat: I'm not crazy about its wing fingers, but if a Pokemon has a signature move called Oblivion Wing it is probably pretty awesome. Shame about that name though. The concept of designing legendaries around the letters is actually kind of cute.
KommunistKoala: The best legendary from the gen.
XIII: Few cover legendaries have Yveltal's cool factor.
Deadpool: Badass flying bird of death
swordz9: Coolest of the legendary trio this gen. I just really like his design and color scheme.
Ermine: Pretty cool legendary.
Wicklebee: #717, the arm wrestling pokemon. This pokemon occasionally faces a Barbaracle in thumb wars and arm wrestling competitions, and when not challenging these feats of strength it proceeds to search for its brother, Lugia as it would like a hug from him. To this day Lugia has not given Yveltal a hug.
Genny: X deer > Z snake > Y bird, but Yveltal is still pretty cool.
SuorGenoveffa: I love the fact that XY legendaries are based on the Norse mythology and I also love the cycle of life and death they create. It's incredibly clever. Yveltal, as an eagle of doom, is just as intimidating and awesome as it sounds.
Inviso: Highest ranking legendary for me this generation, and definitely the best Flying legendary we've had since Articuno/Zapdos back in Gen I. I like that it actually looks pretty badass, and it continues the trend of great Dark/Flying-types in the games. It winds up suffering on my list because there's a LOT of good non-legendaries in this generation.
StifledSilence: I enjoy really cool and menacing legendaries. As opposed to Palkia/Dialga and Reshiram/Zekrom, Xerneas and Yveltal really feel like they are opposite numbers instead of two hulking creatures just because.
ctesjbuvf: Alright, but is inferior to its counterpart.
MegamanX: Its wings really bug me. They look constantly broken.
Para: I like feeding this giant fucking avatar of destruction cupcakes. gotta have a steady diet of cupcakes to destroy the world
Anagram: I mean, yeah, if your only goal was to make a pokemon that looks like a Y, you definitely succeeded. There's no arguing otherwise.
OrangeCrush: I feel like he should be good, but his artwork is shit

Genny: So certain things are just love at first sight with me. From the moment I first saw this pokémon's official artwork I knew I was going to love it, if not ADORE it and the information that poured in afterward only served to strengthen my resolve. What do I love about Pancham? It conveys a unique personality with just a single pose, and within that smug façade. And when you see them in action forget it. I don't even need to mention the unique evolution method (which I love) or Serena's awesome tsundere specimen. Every Pancham ever is fucking adorable.
KommunistKoala: The swag produced by Pancham is unreal.
Deadpool: Such a cute bear. And so cocky. I love him so much. I really wish I had his name.
Raka_Putra: It's really hard to choose between cute small Panda fighter and BAWS BADASS PANDA BEAR, so I just put them side to side. ~ Genius ~. That expression! A+ design.
MegamanX: This guy knows he is going to be a boss and he is adorable
PrinceKaro: finally, the panda pokemon that everyone wanted.
StifledSilence: Cute shifty little trouble making bear bro.
Anagram: Adorable panda wants to be badass? Sign me up for this good idea.
Ermine: Anime boosted. He's pretty great in his own right though now that I think about it.
Inviso: One of few Fighting-types in this generation, I still think Pancham does its job extremely well. A lot of people were put off by Spinda for reasons I'm not entirely sure of, but Pancham actually managed to make being a panda look cool. I kinda wish it'd been Grass/Fighting instead of Chesnaught, but hell, I'm not gonna complain about a cute tough guy.
XIII: Hehe I love this little thing and his stupid twig or whatever he's eating.
swordz9: Best first stage bear Pokemon. I wanted to use a Pancham when it was first revealed and it didn't disappoint.
ctesjbuvf: I like this thing in the anime.
SuorGenoveffa: What a cool little guy.
Wicklebee: #674, the scraggy clone pokemon. Wishing it had the thug life, it chews on a leaf that makes it puke every day because he's yet to realize its poisonous.
Cybat: Yeah sorry Spinda, you're cool and all but this is how pandas work. Also, awwww: "It does its level best to glare and pull a scary face, but it can't help grinning if anyone pats its head."

Alanna82: I really like the concept of the different patterns and it’s pretty looking
Inviso: Butterfree was the original Bug/Flying moth/butterfly, and nothing since that had really managed to surpass Butterfree in terms of usefulness of design. Venomoth, Beautifly, Dustox, Masquerain and Mothim are pointless and terrible. But then Vivillon came along. Not only is it the best of the group visually (complete with over 16 potential patterns to look upon), but it kicks ass in combat, especially with Compoundeyes plus Hurricane plus Bug Buzz plus Psychic. So good.
swordz9: Best Bug/Flying Pokemon they've made. It has a ton of great designs thanks to having many patterns.
hotdogturtle: You can't not like Vivillons designs. It's on the verge of being a decent Pokemon too, just needed a bit more in the Speed or Special Attack areas =(
Deadpool: Pokeball pattern is the best. This is a really cool bug with all the different looks. Pretty sad that this was the only bug family in Kalos though :(
ctesjbuvf: Pretty good and with a cool design.
Raka_Putra: I grew to appreciate the little guy because my best friends uses him consistently as his 'main' Pokemon. Well, he can be pretty surprisingly decent with…I think the move's name's 'Hurricane'? And the patterns look fun for collecting.
Anagram: Honestly? I kind of like its stupid gimmick, even though LA gets a really terrible one.
SuorGenoveffa: In all seriousness though, Garden and Jungle Vivillon are the best and no other answer is acceptable.
Natwaf: Finally, an early bug I love! Too bad the mechanics for the wing patterns suck.
Wicklebee: #666 the devil butterfly pokemon. Contrary to number believe, this pokemon has no connection to Hell.
Cybat: Slightly more interesting than his early-butterfly predecessors because of the mostly quite pretty multiple forms. But it doesn't live up to the pressure of being the only Bug family introduced in gen 6.
StifledSilence: I took the time to collect all of the patterns and it was well worth it. Such a pretty bug.
Genny: I appreciate pretty much any attempt to make the early route Bug type interesting, so the concept of fauna whose coloration differs by real-world region is absolutely amazing. It must have been a coding nightmare, but I love the end result. If only Vivillon were actually viable in battle it would make my top ten for this generation easily. As it stands, here it lands. Obligatory pattern ranking: Ocean > Marine > Elegant > Monsoon > Poké Ball > Garden > Sun > River > Tundra > Sandstorm > Polar > Meadow > Jungle > Savanna > Continental > High Plains> Archipelago > Icy Snow > Modern > Fancy
KommunistKoala: All the different designs are simultaneously cool and infuriating.
MegamanX: Despite having many patterns these things are kinda bland and boring.
XIII: I like the different patterns, even though I have no desire to collect them all because it's such an uninspiring, generic bug-type Pokemon. I have the event Pokeball pattern one though which I think is particularly cool.

Sanity: There are so many great things about Goomy. First and most importantly, he's a derpy looking smiley face. Second, he's a slimey slug. Third, he's somehow technicaly a dragon, and dragons can be cool. He's kind of like the Slimes in Dragon Warrior, but I think Goomy's expression is even better.
Para: goomy's pretty fucking amazing
mcflubbin: Goomy. The Goomster. Goomarino. Doctor Goom. Here comes the Goom. His name is so fun to say! I smile whenever I look at Goomy. He's such an adorable pile of goo(m).
Deadpool: PRAISE LORD GOOMY. Even without the fun of that he is a very cute dragon. I love him.
Alanna82: I love its cute little expression on its face - And it's fun to say too
Natwaf: ALL HAIL THE CHURCH OF GOOMY! Goomy goomy goomy you're so adorable you're so cute you're so loveable I just want to hug you and squish you and love you you NFE Trash you D'aaaaaawwwww
KommunistKoala: KING GOOMY THE GREAT
Raka_Putra: Who's a good little melting tennis ball? Yes you are~ *pushes my cheek against it* Ooh slimy.
Anagram: Its species is 'soft tissue,' which is strange. I like to imagine it's actually a tumor pokemon. I mean look at it! It looks like a goddamned tumor.
swordz9: Goomy's face is so great and it looks amazing when attacking.
Genny: Words cannot express the majesty that is Goomy so I won't even try.
SuorGenoveffa: For all the flak I rightly gave to the rest of its line, Goomy legitimately looks bouncy and fun. It might be the lack of a definite shape and dripping drool.
Cybat: The Pokedex claims Goomy is "The weakest Dragon-type Pokémon" but clearly Goomy transcends such things as power and beauty and board ranking contests.
Inviso: The only really enjoyable member of its line, Goomy is adorable. The name is cute and funny, and the fact that it's basically just a living slime bubble is somehow more cute than it is disgusting. Should've been Poison-type though.
ctesjbuvf: This thing was the only one of it's evolution line that worked in the anime. It was weak as hell at first, but then progress nicely. Then things got rushed, but that's for its evolutions. The design seems kinda lazy though.
PrinceKaro: goomy plz
Ermine: :s
XIII: LOOK HOW CUTE AND MELTY HE IS!
MegamanX: This thing is so goofy it saves itself despite what it is
hotdogturtle: I can see how it's kind of cute, but the fact that it became an internet meme kind of ruined it for me. I like the way that it walks in Pokemon Rumble World (you can see it sliding around like a slug).
Wicklebee: #704, the slug pokemon. Goomy pls.

OrangeCrush: I like how he has an 'X' in his eye.
XIII: Geomancy Moonblast Moonblast Forfeit
Natwaf: The inferior cover Legendary… overall. The pokemon of Life gives life.... and takes it away. Make no mistake, Geomancy + Power Herb is insane, as the resulting Moonblast will kill pretty much anything that doesn't resist it, or isn't named Eviolite Chansey. Looks bad though, and it's move pool is oddly lopsided towards physical, despite having Geomancy.
Genny: Rhymes with hernias. Not exactly flattering. Regardless this is basically the Great Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke as a pokémon so I ask you how could I NOT love it?
Cybat: So many awkward names this gen. I like the concept for this guy but in practice the horns make it look a little silly. It also could stand to look more fairy-like. Geomancy is neat and all but sort of uninteresting, especially compared to Oblivion Wing.
ctesjbuvf: Looks cooler than its counterpart, and is pretty cool. Lacks a second type imo.
PrinceKaro: Bow before the king of the fucking forest.
Ermine: #GEOMANCY #FREEWINS #6-0
Raka_Putra: The King of the Fairies is…a stag with cancerous antler growth? A Dialga x Arceus fan-hybrid? Eh, not as cool as Yveltal but it's not bad, definitely.
SuorGenoveffa: Literally turns into Yggdrasil or something. Seriously Gen 6 had the best legendaries.
MegamanX: Pride deer
StifledSilence: It's refreshing that some of the legendaries managed to not be dragons considering everything else is dragons. It reminds me of the forest spirit in Princess Mononoke.
Inviso: Yet another Fairy-type eliminated before the halfway point in my ranking. I'm sorry, but I just don't find the typing that great on an individual level (hell, even some of the mixed Fairy-types are lame). Xerneas is okay looking, but I feel like there's a cooler deer already in Sawbuck, and Xerneas just gets supremely overshadowed by Yveltal.
swordz9: Rainbow tree antler things. I'm not sure why they gave it a type advantage over the other two legendary Pokemon grouped with it, but it's my least favorite of the 3 anyways
Anagram: Honestly it could be a lot worse, but I would never look at this thing and think of the letter X.
Deadpool: Eh giant deer is eh
Wicklebee: #716, the christmas lights pokemon. Every year in late November and throughout December, this pokemon wanders into peoples houses that have decorated their living spaces with Christmas lights and hugs their tree for the day. If someone realizes that it exists, it leaves a present behind and flees the home.

SuorGenoveffa: A blue lobster with a giant ass claw that shoots out all sorts of doombringing beams, including Heal Pulse. Instantly better than 95% of the pokémon.
swordz9: I love that gigantic claw that makes the rest of its body look small.
Genny: That name, that design, that concept, that animal it's based on. If I were being objective here I'd name Clawitzer as the best pokémon of this generation. But when have you ever known me to be that?
KommunistKoala: Look at this badass
Anagram: Poor Clawitzer suffers from localized elephantitis. I'm afraid there's no cure except amputation of the affected limb.
Deadpool: GIANT CANNON OF DOOM. I really love the cannon.
MegamanX: I love the design of this militarized crab
Inviso: Everything good about Clauncher, improved because now it looks like an absolute badass who WILL f*** you up with his claw cannon, and Clawitzer has an even better name to boot. Once again, I really wish this wasn't version exclusive (or that it was in the vastly superior Y-version, because I would've loved to have used one on my team).
ctesjbuvf: Interesting design and good in battle. Not too good though.
Wicklebee: #693, the claw cannon pokemon. After working with a Blastoise, it armored its special claw and perfected using it as a cannon, as powerful as Blastoise's shell cannons.
Natwaf: Dat Spec. Attack man. Mega Launcher is always nice, though I wish this thing was faster. That oversized Claw is great though.

OrangeCrush: I know it sounds weird, but I see Leafeon, Sawsbuck, and Gogoat as being a trio of sorts. All of them are quadripedal mammal grass types that are physical attackers and are at least somewhat bulky. They came out in consecutive gens, and I believe that each of them was better than the last. Leafeon was cute and was an interesting concept, but that shallow movepool ruined him. Sawsbuck was a big step up, since she got Horn Leech, Leech Seed, and much better coverage, not to mention she was a lot cooler and had an interesting gimmick. Sawsbuck pretty much replaced Leafeon's niche for me... and now Gogoat is threatening to do the same for Sawsbuck. Gogoat has a ridiculously wide movepool (although like the other 2 she misses out on status moves) and some nice stats to back them up. She also has a great design, an even better name, and you can ride them. Go go Gogoaters!
Ermine: GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! GOGOAT! I love riding Gogoat in Smash, it's one of the most fun things to do. He always almost falls off the stage and then climbs back on with his front hooves its adorable. Really great design and awesome name, I have high hopes for him in these rankings :)
swordz9: Probably the best Grass Pokemon there is. Gogoat's design is fantastic and it's pretty great in battle too.
Sanity: You can't spell goat without Greatest Of All Time.
Wicklebee: #673, the grass back pokemon. Riding on a Gogoat for 20 minutes would be the best 20 mins of your life. Riding for longer would make that day the greatest day of your life. Also, HERDIER.
Deadpool: GO GO GOGOAT
Inviso: I'm still not a huge fan of most Grass-types, but Gogoat managed to impress me by giving me a physical attacker (as opposed to the typical special attackers, or the rare Leaf Blade user). It's a cool design, and I love that you get to ride Gogoats around every so often.
Raka_Putra: Gogogogogoat. I prob. Put it a bit too high but that's okay. He's a pretty cool looking ram goat thing and the typing is also quite nice.
MegamanX: Simple but effective smart design.
Genny: Go goat, go! Like I said before, I preferred Skiddo's design to Gogoat, but something about it still speaks to me. Plus ya know, fully evolved strength and all.
Cybat: I always think this guy is part Normal type, like Pyroar and Heliolisk. His stat distribution makes him not that useful, but his shiny coloring is pretty. And he's useful for getting your bearings in Lumiose City, too.
StifledSilence: Go go Gadget goat!
XIII: OK, riding Gogoat is pretty aweomse and fun.
Natwaf: Go go go Joseph you know what they say! Hang on now Joseph you'll make it someday! Shalala Joseph, you're doing fine! You and your dreams ahead of your time.
ctesjbuvf: Boring, but bonus points for its name.
Anagram: It's 5'7"?! Jesus Christ, that's taller than most of my family. We're a short bunch. I am among the tallest members and I'm all of 5'8".
Alanna82: sounds like GoGurt

Natwaf: HELL YES GHOST/STEEL IS A REALITY! My absolute favorite gen VI pokemon, only Greninja comes close. At first, when you look at it's stats, you think you got trolled... and then you used an attacking move, and OH MY GOD! King's Shield and Stance Change is an excellent gimmick. What's hilarious is that Aegislash has 150 in all 4 stats effectively... if you're good at predicting. Fantastic in all formats in the Maison, this guy is my MVP. Despite it's low HP, it tanks hits well, and even weakness don't OHKO it all the time. When my team is in shambles, Aegislash comes to the rescue. Hell, this one time in Triples, I was facing a Veteran with teams loaded with Legendaries that tore my team apart, and only Aegislash and two of his legendaries are left. Aegislash tanked both their hits, killed one of them, then Shadow Sneaked the other to death. PRAISE BE TO AEGISLASH, THE UBER GHOST/STEEL!
Raka_Putra: Oh God, Aegislash. It won't work against more…sophisticated players, but I still had fun with his unique moves. And that design? Genius. Like, awesome. It can slash my aegis any day!
Inviso: Yeah, my top three seem pretty generic in terms of the Pokemon everyone expects to dominate this ranking, but I don't care. I love the idea of a Ghost/Steel type, I love that, as opposed to Doublade which just adds a second Honedge to the mix, Aegislash adds a shield and gets the ability to switch between defense and attack to suit its needs. That's awesome, IMO, and this is a great Pokemon.
Cybat: A terrifically executed concept all around. Its offensive movepool is awesome and King's Shield shenanigans are great fun. My only quibble is that I wish its design were a little more animate. But its shiny form is amazing.
KommunistKoala: Just fantastic.
ctesjbuvf: Excellent. They could have went with the full armor, but it might've ruined the design. It's excellent.
XIII: I know I criticised Pangoro for the low speed, but Aegis had a cool enough gimmick to get away with it, and King's Shield was my favourite move to use on unsuspecting NPCs. Add to that Iron Head, Sacred Sword, Shadow Sneak, Swords Dance and that freaking cool animation when it does its Stance Change and you're onto a sure-fire winner.
SuorGenoveffa: As unbalanced as it is, Aegislash is just one of the greatest concepts they've ever created, and this generation already had many of those. The risk of making sword pokémon would have been making them so dull they might as well be real swords. The Honedge line goes and makes them choreographically beautiful, amazing to have in your in-game team and adds a shield aspect to it to make it stand out even more. Broken as hell, but man is it all-around greatness. Did I mention that its a Ghost type? They've become the seal of quality of pokémon concepts as of late.
MegamanX: Sword and Shield looks bad together but I love the look apart.
Wicklebee: #681, the useable pokemon. After evolving by finding another Honedge, the two Honedges fight each other and the winner forgest the other into a shield, destroying the ghost inside.
StifledSilence: I like the attack/shield gimmick even if King's Shield is more annoying than Protect.
Sanity: As a Castlevania fan, I like haunted weapons.
Ermine: Cool looking poke. Annoying as HECK to fight against, but still pretty cool.
Deadpool: I don't like the posessed ghost sword having a shield. Still pretty good
swordz9: A ghost knight would've been better for Ghost/Steel, but Aegislash is still pretty cool
Genny: When its battle style was first revealed I thought to myself how broken it appeared and nothing has changed my mind since. Not a huge fan of game breaking pokémon, but Aegislash seems cool otherwise.
Anagram: Hope you like Ubers.
Para: not really a big fan of it. I like honedge but aegislash doesn't do it for me, it feels visually confusing and busy and I don't like the mechanics of its design as much
PrinceKaro: I am not a fan of pokemon with gimmicks, and Aegislash is a somewhat disappointing final stage to the sword line. where's my haunted suit of armor, dammit!

MegamanX: My trusty Talonflame got me through many hard battles and even some pokemon showdown games. Besides that Talonflame just looks cool!
mcflubbin: Dumb name aside, Talonflame is awesome. Cool typing, cool design, there's a lot to love about this guy.
Wicklebee: #663, the red hood pokemon. After serving Batman as Robin, he died and was reborn as a pokemon obsessed with wanting to kill the Joker.
Natwaf: BRAVEBIRDBRAVEBIRDBRAVEBIRD! Ahh, the newbie friendly Talonflame. Dat priority 120 attack man. Nothing like it. If only Talonflame had a bit more firepower… nevertheless, it's an awesome pokemon in battle. Outside? It has access to fly and Flame Body, perfect for breeding! Plus, it's an early bird. All hail the new king of early birds!
ctesjbuvf: Cool to make the generic bird fire, but it still fails to reach the leagues of Staraptor and above.
Raka_Putra: It's a bird! No, it's a fireball! It's…Talonflame! With that kinda name, it would be a shame if he doesn't live up to it. Thankfully, he does and more! I'm still amazed how good and unique an early-game bird could be. Really makes you appreciate it.
KommunistKoala: Making early birds relevant again after Gen V stunk it up.
StifledSilence: This reminds me of the warlock's bird form in the Ducktales movie. Talonflame is better though because it's FIRE!
OrangeCrush: Talonflame is great when he's on my side of the field, but I hate it when my opponent uses one. I refuse to believe he has only 81 base attack, because he hits like a truck.
XIII: The Charizard Rush ensured I would never use Talonflame, which is a pity. It's a great Pokemon - terrific speed and ability and a sleek, functional design. I appreciate early-game Pokemon that are competent, particularly the birds. We're now 3-3 on competent early-game birds (counting Swellow), and Talonflame needed to be a hit after Unfezant was such a total waste of time.
SuorGenoveffa: As the resident Board 8 Bird lover, believe me when I say 10th for Talonflame is kind of... too low. Despite not being my favorite in its line, I love everything about Talonflame and while Gale Wings is the only thing really making it competitively viable, it's a great ability that I wish many other birds had.
hotdogturtle: NOBODY saw this coming when Talonflame was first revealed. What a turnaround once people got to the Friend Safari for the first time.
swordz9: Oh my god priority Brave Bird is fantastic and it has buffs/healing too. One of the cooler final bird forms in the series.
Anagram: Hope you like gale wings, because that's all you're ever getting. All day, every day.
Inviso: Smogonbird just misses out on my top twenty, but that doesn't speak badly about it. I love the Fire/Flying-typing. I love that it's a total badass in battle and can make people cry about how OP it is. And I love how, even if you don't go for the special ability, it's basically the ultimate utility Pokemon in terms of having Flame Body to hatch eggs, and Fly to check stats immediately after the hatching. So very, very useful.
Cybat: How often is the first-route bird one of the best Pokemon competitively in its entire generation? Well, probably just this once and never again, but here we are. Gale Wings is ridiculously good and I admit I had to dock this thing a few points because of how sick I am of it. But in my defense, also its name and design are pretty boring.
Ermine: I really don't like what they did with Fletchinder's design going into Talonflame. The colors just don't work at all with him and just look really jarring. He's still alright and I've used him before just... going from Fletchinder's amazing design to this was a big let down.
Para: I dunno, don't like him as much as the rest of his line, I prefer cute birds over fierce birds. also, stupid name
Genny: Where do I start? Like the design, moveset, and typing. Definitely makes it one of the more memorable early route generic bird final evolutions. However that name... I'm not going to give it as much flak as Digi because frankly it doesn't deserve THAT much, but Talonflame is not a good name at all. What was wrong with Flarrow? Why not Bonflyer or Pyresky? Anything beats Fireclaw. BTW I cracked up reading the name origin section on Bulbapedia. "Talonflame is a combination of 'talon' and 'flame'" YA THINK!?
Deadpool: This fucking pokemon is really fucking annoying. Design is good but he is way too annoying in battle

Steiner: obviously. most of my interests are wrestling and pokemon. my favourite pokemon tend to be fighting or flying. it wears a fucking luchador mask.
Anagram: Sometimes someone just comes up with a 10/10 idea and the execution is done just as well. Hawlucha is such an example. I don't like the name, but everything else about it works for me.
StifledSilence: I have been waiting for something like this my whole life and didn't even realize it until I got it. Guys. GUYS! It's a wrestling Pokemon! IT'S A FUCKING LUCHADORE BIRD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! This is seriously the best thing ever. Well...ok, not the best since I put him at #2. But one of the best things ever!
XIII: I deeply regret not using Hawlucha, and will if we ever get Z. I got the Charizard Rush when I saw the Kanto Starters were being made available, and the possibility of using TEH MEGAZARD blinded me to everything else - so I designated him as my flier and ignored all other flying options. This caused me to overlook Hawlucha, one of the most excellently designed, flat-out cool Pokemon with a great name, a long-overdue typing, a great gimmick and a freaking cool special move. As well as access to Swords Dance and Hi Jump Kick. When we eventually get Pokemon Z, or some other game set in Kalos, I plan to build the team around Hawlucha and the starter.
Wicklebee: #701, the ring fighter pokemon. 3 time winner in Lucha Libre, this pokemon brings its fighting prowess into the pokemon world. Many times Pokemon are KO'd in one hit if they fight indoors as this pokemon may or may not grab a chair and bash the other pokemon's skull in.
OrangeCrush: She caught my attention with her cool design, and then I actually used one and fell in love. A lot of people rag on her for not being able to participate in Sky Battles, but Sky Battles are dumb anyway because they're usually 1 vs. 3 with the opponent packing all sorts of ice, electric, and rock dual-types and moves.
Ermine: This guy has grown on me a lot and the anime is super helping me to like him more as well. I didn't hate him at all before, but he was just a decent like probably before shooting up in my rankings to greater places. Love the design and love the name too, great pokemon.
Raka_Putra: I found it incredibly creepy in design at first, but DAT TYPING. And it's just so fun and reliable to use, really. Probably one of the few Pokemon that I started not liking but grew to love.
KommunistKoala: Holy fuck yes.
swordz9: The greatest wrestler the Pokemon world has ever known
Inviso: With Hawlucha's existence, we finally managed to complete the string of having every possible type-combination with Flying. Water has that too, but Volcanion isn't official yet, and Surskit isn't fully evolved. Hawlucha's pretty awesome though. I love the idea of a luchador bird jumping off the top rope to kick ass. The only way Hawlucha would've been better is if he debuted in Gen V was was Pokemon number 619 instead of Mienfoo.
Genny: When this guy was first revealed I was all... "Aw HELL naw, that's not a pokémon, that's a fucking midget in a fucking mascot costume!" So yeah I wasn't big on his design, but frankly I'm never huge on human-shaped pokémon unless they're a lot more human looking (Gothorita) or a lot LESS human looking (Alakazam). Hawlucha was striking that awful in-between kinda look. Then I watched the anime, and I realized without that ridiculous humanoid body Ash's wouldn't be able to do this: http://31.media.tumblr.com/03218f162b4dd9f2ccc4c64b587d97de/tumblr_n6gcgzUVGn1rsrk2xo5_500.gif or this: http://24.media.tumblr.com/4b3e9549419b3310f13a815991585a8d/tumblr_n6cs51AFvW1qckwxco2_500.gif or finally this: http://31.media.tumblr.com/07a5bca22f799967d3a1df33a6023983/tumblr_n8i9v0tLNO1rd4ymxo2_500.gif. Fuck, are you kidding me? That's aces.
MegamanX: Luchador pokemon? I'm in, wish it had an evolution
mcflubbin: A luchador bird is such a good concept for a Pokemon, omg.
SuorGenoveffa: I don't even like wrestling and even I am captivated by how friggin' awesome Hawlucha is. You flying press 'em, pal.
Alanna82: I thought I would hate it, but it’s actually really cool
ctesjbuvf: This thing has a cool type combination but why not give it an evolution again? The anime help it, as it's different from most Pokemon there and fits in well.
Deadpool: Wrestling bird is pretty damn cool
Natwaf: Overrated to hell and back. Hell, I had a shiny Hawlucha, and I gave it away for a random Xerneas, and it was a good trade no matter what you shiny and hawlucha lovers say. **** YOU FOR KILLING MY TRIPLES TEAM YOU STUPID BIRD!
Cybat: I just…was not ready for this. It's a very well executed concept but I can't quite handle it. The advent of dual-type moves is exciting though.
Para: doesn't really do it for me. is he a bird? he almost looks like one but I can't really tell
PrinceKaro: I don't get what people see in him, he looks kind of silly to me.

Wicklebee: #697, the tantrum pokemon. Its name explains what ends up after every fight it has with Rampardos.
swordz9: Tyrantrum is amazing. Best fossil Pokemon and best dinosaur Pokemon
Deadpool: Badass T-Rex dragon is a motherfucking badass. Plus you know I have his account and all
StifledSilence: After a few decent attempts, Game Freak finally perfected the dinosaur. This dude is a baller. I'm not so sure it needed to be a Dragon type like everything else in this game but whatever. STAB Dragon Claw with that attack power doesn't hurt my feelings.
MegamanX: This guy is probably the most menacing of the dinosaurs easily. Love his design.
XIII: They did a great job with the fossils this generation. Tyrantrum is a Pokemon I'm keen to use in a possible Z playthrough; it's got a design that hits all the right buttons for me, really cool typing, can take a hit and, most importantly, hits like a truck.
Inviso: Best fossil ever (not even Aerodactyl can stop him). It's a unique typing that actually works in context, it's a cool design (though admittedly Tyrunt looks better), and he's super powerful. Yeah, he's got all the weaknesses of the Rock-type, but it doesn't matter because it's a goddamn T-Rex that's gonna bite your head clean off.
Cybat: Well they can stop making fossil types now, they're not going to top this one. Seriously how did it take this long for an honest to god tyrannosaur? Its fluff cape is a little silly but you won't hear me tell it that to its face. Great name, too.
Genny: Jurassic World-boosted probably unfair bias ranking initiate! <3 Rexy! Blue was the best however.
ctesjbuvf: Pretty good, though somewhat generic design.
mcflubbin: Man, Gen VI really killed it with the fossil Pokemon. Tyrantum and Aurorus are both great.
Anagram: "Pokemon didn't gain more weird crap on their bodies as time went on. There's no meaningful difference between gen 1 and 6 pokemon." That said, it still gets this high based purely on concept.
Raka_Putra: I'll be one of the only write-ups not to mention Jurassic Worl--. Oh damn. But still, it's impressively terrifying. It's scary-grateful.
KommunistKoala: What a beast.
SuorGenoveffa: They needed 20 years to make a proper T-Rex but it was worth the wait because Tyrantrum is so amazing. XY probably had the best set of fossils ever.
Natwaf: WE FINALLY GET A T-REX POKEMON HELL YES! Could have been better though, I mean Strong Jaw is nice and all, give it STAB for a lot of moves, but they have low base power. And it's kinda frail and slow. Looks great though
hotdogturtle: Basically Rampardos 2.0, but this time they realized that the glass cannon model didn't work, so they "slightly" removed some Attack to put into other stats. Ironically with Head Smash and Rock Head, Tyrantrum not only outperforms its own Strong Jaw gimmick, but also pulls off Rampardos's role better than it does.
Ermine: I've used this guy quite a lot but something about him just doesn't sit quite right with me. He's still pretty good.
Para: I dunno I think his beard looks dumb. is it a beard? whatever it looks like a beard and I hate beards on pokemon
Sanity: Stop making stupid looking dinosaurs.

XIII: Not really in doubt. I have a deep love of starters and Greninja is possibly my favourite fully-evolved water starter, even over Blastoise. It's fast, powerful and it's a frog ninja. And its TONGUE is a fucking SCARF 10/10. Absurdly banned by Smogon, it has a really fun ability in Protean and was the centrepiece of my 50-streak triple-battle team in ORAS. Also Water Shuriken is such a cool move. Greninja is a surefire and undoubted hit that should walk away with this list.
Inviso: I never thought I'd see the day where a Water-type and a Water starter would be my favorite Pokemon of a generation, let alone making my top ten out of all 721 Pokemon. But here we are. Greninja is amazing, and I'm so glad they've been making the Water-starters agile and streamlined instead of fat and worthless like Blastoise. It's half-Water, and half-Dark, which is an automatic plus, but on top of that, it gets the special ability Protean, meaning that if you want to use an Ice attack, BOOM, STAB Ice. Grass? BOOM, STAB Grass. Dark? Water? Any type of move Greninja has available, it can kick ass with. Such a versatile team member that Smogon had to ban it just like other major favorites of mine in Blaziken and Excadrill. And to top it off, Greninja is so cool that it got to be in Smash, which was actually a pretty cool use of a new character. The only real complaint is the tongue scarf, and really, that's OTHER peoples' complaint, not mine. I love Greninja's agile and sharp design myself, and the black version is even better.
Natwaf: WHY HELLO THERE OU/UBER WATER STARTER! Hell, Greninja managed to boot Starmie out of OU, leaving Gengar as the one and only Gen I King of all time OU… for awhile. Protean is ****ing overpowered it's not funny. Well, actually, it's hilarious. Still, at first he's only good for special moves and some utility… and then he got Low Sweep and Gunk shot and he got banned. He's also one of my favorite main in Smash Bros. But my main reason for loving him... is he's part of my Triples team. Mat Block is fantastic and sniping is fantastic He looks cool, he has a great base typing, he has one of my favorite abilities, he's a key player in my Triples team, and he's one of my mains in Smash Bros. I LOVE YOU NINJA FROG!
StifledSilence: TONGUESCARF SAMAAAAAA! I don't think I had ever been so hyped for a non-Charizard Pokemon. Like I was practically drooling over lame Frogadier to evolve into MOTHERFUCKING TONGUESCARF and when it finally happened it was really cool. Dark/Water is a nifty combo and his movepool is pretty great. They even put him in Smash Bros! I was expecting Mewtwo in that trailer but tonguescarf was a nice surprise too.
MegamanX: It's hard to hate a ninja that wears a scarf made of its own tongue
Ermine: Greninja is just badass and super cool. Fun to use in smash bros and I really love his Protean ability. Very fun to use. A bit unfortunate all the whiners got him banned so now competitive OU can suck even MORE than it did but lmao who really cares about that anyways. Ninja Frog Da Bes.
ctesjbuvf: Smash made it overrated probably. It's decent to use there. In Pokemon, it's really good, but not excellent.
Anagram: I remember when Greninja leaked people insisted it was fake. It didn't have the same bubbles as the previous in the line and its tongue scarf comes out of nowhere and its aesthetic is just kind of weird. That said, I like it.
KommunistKoala: Still remember everyone's reactions to Greninja when it was first shown. Gooood times. Anyway he's a badass.
Steiner: Everyone likes ninjas and frogs, but the most appealing part of Greninja to me is Protean. It's such a fun ability to play with, though frustrating to play against. Also, he has that weird tongue scarf thing going on, which I appreciate.
Raka_Putra: Greninja! (read in SSB4 guy voice). He's also really cool as a concept and the design is sleek! The typing is full of win and the theme works amazingly. Disco ninja frog! He's also pretty cool to use in SSB4.
hotdogturtle: Now this is how you make a Pokemon. Cool design, great stats, large movepool, unique ability. All-around awesome. Also in Smash.
SuorGenoveffa: When Greninja was revealed I was grossed out by it having a tongue scarf. As months passed, it became kind of a dull reason to hate on it, so I embraced it and man, I love Greninja. Smash made me love it even more, it's just... Frogs are repulsive and tongue scarves are too, but I will make an exception for Greninja and its all-around cool ninja tricks. It will deservedly be at the top of this ranking and I will be shocked if it isnt.
Cybat: Its tongue scarf is really unsettling if you think about it and its name is a little on the nose. But even so, of course this thing is in my top ten, how could it not be? I am pretty bad as him in Smash though.
Genny: I hope OWS (Obvious Winner Syndrome) doesn't screw it over too badly here, because I really DO like it even if it's not a top fave, love of mine, etc. The tongue scarf took hella time to grow on me, but I've mostly accepted it by now. I say mostly because animation still isn't quite sure what to do with it from certain perspectives and at times it seems detached which is weird and gross. Enough about that though. That Smash intro was spectacular and super hype like nothing I've ever seen before. Just as a reminder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEJBPMcbRkk
swordz9: Ninja frog with tongue scarf and it's in Smash Bros. It's pretty cool looking and Protean is great, but not enough to crack my top 10.
Sanity: A ninja frog is a good concept. Because frogs are cool and so are ninjas. Shortly after Smash came out, I probably would have ranked Greninja #72, because I hated playing against him that much. But I started warming up to him, and every now and then I use him myself and he's pretty fun to use. His Up B recovery is so satisfying to gimp people with when it actually happens.
Para: congratulations to your winner of pokemon gen 6
Wicklebee: #658, the tongue pokemon. Twice a year, he talks to Gene Simmons and the two of them play around with their tongues.
PrinceKaro: Is probably going to be overranked as hell due to smash bias. The tongue scarf has always been a big impediment to me really liking him.
OrangeCrush: I was tempted to just make Greninja my #72, but that would be too obvious. But seriously, I really do hate Greninja. Gamefreak tried way too hard to shove him down our throats. While the same can be said of Lucario, there's 3 key differences: 1. Greninja has that dumb tounge scarf and I'll never understand how so many people think it's cool. 2. Lucario's rise to fame was more organic, since he wasn't picked for Smash Bros before even being revealed. If Lucario wasn't so well-received, I think Nintendo would've backed off, whereas with Greninja, Nintendo NEEDED Greninja to be popular so Gamefreak made sure to give it Protean and a wide movepool. 3. Lucario was a standalone line, while Greninja is a starter, so the Greninja favortism came at the expense of the other 2 starters. And I honestly believe that Gamefreak intentionally sabotaged Delphox just to make sure Greninja was the most popular of the trio. In addition to the well-documented complaints about Delphox, think about the number of fire types available early in X/Y besides Fennekin: Charmander, Litleo, Fletchinder, and perhaps most damning, that event Torchic with Speed Boost and Blazikenite. Compare that selection to every other Pokemon game, and it's clear that Gamefreak really didn't want you to choose the fire starter this time. In conclusion, fuck Greninja, and I hate that this will probably be the last writeup of the gen.
Deadpool: fuck him in Smash and fuck that stupid fucking tongue scarf thing that just looks so horribly ugly

StifledSilence: This is the bear line I've always wanted. Big, tough, menacing, and an excellent movepool. This bear bro has single handedly bailed me out of quite a few jams. In a generation with cute kitties, cute bunnies, cute fire birdies, ghost swords, a ghost tree, ghost produce, a robot master, the best dinosaur, a tonguescarf, and a luchadore bird, this guy still managed to take the #1 spot. I can't overstate how fantastic Pangoro is.
MegamanX: This guy is a badass. Even if he wasn't the greatest pokemon I loved using him because of how cool he is.
SuorGenoveffa: I'm not huge on pandas. In order to have a panda be one of my favorite pokémon ever, you'd need to give it an awesome black cape as if it were Batman, an “angry but not necessarily aggressive” stare, an unique typing, and have it hold with its mouth a small leaf that not only looks badass but also serves a purpose. You basically make Pangoro. I'm a huge fan of big and strong pokémon that aren't necessarily ferocious or even look rather cute under the right circumstances (see Golurk <3) and Pangoro embodies that perfectly. A+ pokémon as far as I'm concerned.
Inviso: I'm actually kinda surprised that Pangoro ISN'T my number 1 for this generation. By all rights, it should tick all the boxes to be my favorite: half Fighting-type, Dark-type, furry animal, stands humanoid, cool design. Hell, I even used one on my team against the Elite 4 and his Mold Breaker was awesome and preventing 2HKOs against Probopass. He's awesome and extremely useful as a Pokemon catcher with False Swipe and Scrappy, but he's just not as good as my number 1.
KommunistKoala: Love pandas, and thankfully Gamefreak didn't disappoint with either one of them! Badass evolution of Pancham.
XIII: I'll be honest, I was a LITTLE disappointed with Peter when I used him in-game. I just wanted a little bit more speed to prevent him going second all the damn time. He was undoubtedly the weak link, but then it was a team of absolute powerhouses. But I still love this guy and he still did the work for me. His design is just too cool. I still greatly enjoyed using him, and he was a deserving member of my team. I just went into the game expecting the new THEMANITAN and I got the new...Zoroark, I guess - a Pokemon I really liked using but that had one shortcoming that irritated me (with Zoro it was its paper-thin defence; with Pangoro, its low speed).
Raka_Putra: Okay who ordered one bad ass Dark/Fighting Panda? OH WAIT JUST EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. Thank you Game Freaks, here's my money and extra tips.
Sanity: Pandas are the best kind of bears. This guy looks like he means business.
swordz9: Pangoro puts all bear Pokemon to shame. Just look at this badass.
Wicklebee: #675, the caped brutalizer pokemon. This poke loves beating up nerds like Froakie and has become so strong he can KO pokemon by simply waving his cape at them.
mcflubbin: I don't really care about pandas, but Pangoro is a super cool guy.
Deadpool: Badass Bear is a badass and will fuck you up.
ctesjbuvf: It's cool ands trong, though gails at the top because it's sorta boring.
Genny: One of the easiest ways to get me to love something is to add a friggin' cape. That's literally it. But aside from his fur cape, Pangoro has a unique evolution method that makes it and its preevo something special.
Cybat: Well, he is a little chubby and looks kinda dorky with the twig in his mouth, but he's cool. The idea of him evolving because of a "bad influence" is clever (but, yknow, pretty obtuse in-game). But his stat distribution leaves something to be desired.
Natwaf: Gotta be honest, wasn't expecting a Banchou/Jotaro Kujo out of a pokemon. But here it is! Too bad it's SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
Ermine: Badass Panda is Badass.
Anagram: I still can't believe how long it took to get a panda pokemon (no one cares about you, Spinda). Too bad it's not very good.
OrangeCrush: Kung-Fu Panda is overrated
Para: bears are not my thing
