Board 8 Wiki

This is the 5th part of the grand Board 8 Ranks Pokemon project.

49 users ranked Gen V's roster of Pokemon from 1 to 156, with 1 being their favorite and 156 being their most hated.  The host then added up all the lists to create a master list, where #1 is Board 8's favorite Gen V Pokemon and #156 is Board 8's most hated Gen V Pokemon.  While this required quite a bit of time and thought from users (hopefully), and a lot of time from the host, the end result would ideally be much more accurate than other contests since it factors in love, hate, and even apathy.  For example, Arcanine normally does great in other contests, but was only #14 in Gen 1 due to receiving lots of middling ranks.

starfox2245 created and hosted the first 4 generations, and opened list submissions for Gen V.  However, perhaps due to the enormous amount of work that hosting this project demanded, starfox left GameFAQs and closed his account.  He offered to send and explain his spreadsheet tools to someone who wanted to take over the project, and Steiner stepped up to the task.  With his spreadsheet knowledge, he was able to make hosting this project easier, although he's still put in tons of work.

Steiner began revealing the master list on March 28, 2015, and finished on April 12.

Users Participating In The Gen V Pokemon Rankings[]

49 users submitted spreadsheets for this generation.  This is noticeably lower than the last 3 gens, which all had 58-62 participants.  This is likely due to Gen V's roster being unpopular among Board 8 along with its size.

Wickle's and Steiner's Spreadsheets[]

They created a cool spreadsheet where more in-depth data can be tracked such as number of spot-on rankings for each user, what the highest ranked Pokemon eliminated for each user currently is, and so on.

Nick's and Ermine's Pokecasts[]

Nick and Ermine made a series of podcasts for this project.  Episode 8 was the first one for Gen V, and it focused on previewing that gen.

SanityLapse: The idea of a baby being a goth is hysterical. This design is such ass, but the concept is too good to rank low.

Suor: I used to think Gothita sucked and make no mistake it is ugly, but honestly, that b***y attitude wins me over everytime. Koharu_Gothita.png

Logicblade: Oh a Goth tower.

ctesjbuvf: Something about it kind of annoys me. The idea of a goth Pokemon is cool, it just doesn’t act like a typical goth.

Cybat: Did they not learn anything from Jynx? It is possible to make humanoid psychic Pokemon (see: Abra) but this is just weird.

Wicklebee: Oh look my gothic lolit… WHY THE AKLFJDSAKJ ARE YOU WEARING LIPSTICK. Disgusting trash get out of here. Raised by Jynx to be a hooker already.

Natwaf: CRAAAAAWWWLING IIIIINNNNN MY SKIIIIINNNNN

StifledSilence: Nothing says Pokemon like slit wrists and poetry.

KommunistKoala: This Smoochum wannabe makes me want to puke.

Bane_Of_Despair: Almost baby-like Pokemon with what looks like lipstick…..nope.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #7. What... were... they... thinking?

Raka_Putra: Yeah, Game Freaks, thank you for endorsing the sexualising of children. If in 10 years there's a rise in sexual violence against children, I hope you are ready to part with all your money to pay for lawyers.

Magmortar: I did not want a reminder that this…THING (and I use that term loosely), existed. Also, why did it get Shadow Tag released but not Chandelure, you’re telling me I have to use a gender-confused doll to trap people.

Genny: Damn babies that are not actually babies. This thing might actually pass for sorta cute if not for the hamburger bun lips.

Wigs: no.

ecksgem: I don’t know what's worse between this and Smoochum.

Inviso: I find normal lolicon creepy, but when you make that lolicon into a weird, featureless humanoid? Nope.

Anagram: If someone had specifically said to himself "I want to design a pokemon that's unbearably hideous," he still would not have created anything on the scale of Gothita. It can be only the result of tremendous incompetence.

Paratroopa1: this pokemon is the only pokemon that I actually outright hate. every other pokemon that's bad is just sort of irritating and unpleasant but I don't HATE them. hate is reserved solely for lolita tweety bird here, if you don't rank this last, then you're like objectively wrong, I'm sorry I don't know how else to put it. Gothita-BW-DreamWorldArt.png seriously look at how gross it is, just stare at it for a while, sooner or later its terribleness will allow you to peer into the void for a brief second and learn dark secrets about the nature of the universe and the cosmos

StifledSilence: He's like a clutzy gay guy in a sitcom! Except he's a monkey that can control fire! Dude, I'd watch that show.

Natwaf: Least of the monkeys. Ehh, don't really have anything to say, it didn't leave much of an impression

Genny: God no! What did you fiends do to my cutie patootie Pansear!?

ctesjbuvf: Between reggae and broccoli, this line had nothing going for it. Looks bad too.

Inviso: The base forms avoided the bottom 10 of my list, and now the evolved forms avoid the bottom 20. Congrats, but you're still horrible designed, and I rank you the lowest because of your s***ty hairstyle.

Wicklebee: Disco Inferno

Anagram: It's confusing how terrible the elemental monkeys are in a battle sense. The game wanted every player to take one to cover his starter's weaknesses: fair enough. But these things are almost unusablly bad in a statistical sense.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #11. Award for most demented face goes to...?

Magmortar: It looks like Chip from Sonic Unleashed, and since the less I talk about that game the better, Simisear, an already truly hysterically but not actually hysterically bad Pokemon, receives a very low ranking.

Logicblade: Almost the worst monkey.

Wigs: no.

XIII_Rocks: Who fucking cares about these fucktards

junglebob22: Stupid hair, giant ears, fat belly…Yep this is clearly the worst of those awful monkeys

Paratroopa1: oh my god, everything about this guy is so terrible. his dumb face, his fat body, his gross hair, his ridiculous hands, his stupid tail and that godawful thing around his neck. everything about him is bad! literally everything. even his ears are too big. god, I hate you

Cybat: I had a seriously tough time deciding which monkey was the worst. They are all that bad. But thanks to its derpy expression and silly cloud shoulder pads, this one wins! Hooray for awfulness.

KommunistKoala: See Simipour

Bane_Of_Despair: Just ugh. Go away forever.

Raka_Putra: "Heh, what can I say? I don't give a fuck about your eyes and moral values, I can be as ugly as I want."

StifledSilence: Rain spout monkey! So cute!

Genny: Worst of the Pans, but still okay. These monkeys get way too much static.

ctesjbuvf: Doesn’t look too bad, but it’s useless.

Cybat: Not nearly as offensive to look at as its parent. But certainly nothing to write home about. This one is the worst of the three because of the stupid expression on its stupid face.

Paratroopa1: no, this was a bad idea

Magmortar: no one actually used these things right no wonder Gen 6 replaced them with OH MY GOD, KANTO STARTERS

Wicklebee: No song for this one.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #14. Somehow one of the least offensive of the elemental ****s. It does evolve into the terror that will claim us all though...

Inviso: This thing's hair is slightly better than Pansage's, but it's still terrible. Seriously, why are the base forms of these things so godawful?

Anagram: The confusing thing about the elemental monkeys is that you can tell Nintendo really thought it had something with them. These things are shoved in everywhere: trainers and wild grass spew them at you endlessly. Yet they're so obviously terrible. I don’t know what to say.

Wigs: no.

Logicblade: Almost the worst monkey.

KommunistKoala: See Simisear

Raka_Putra: Please don't ever evolve. Actually, cease to exist at once. Thank you. - Humanity (also, everything else)

KommunistKoala: Much cuter than Mandibuzz. It's downside is that it fooled me into thinking it would evolve into something good.

Anagram: Until I looked it up just now for this write-up, I'd never noticed the heart design on its shell.

Suor: Bossy baby vulture needs to grow before it can act like a boss.

Cybat: I thought it was just its eggshell that it was wearing, but turns out it's actually a broken skull. That bumps it up a few spaces. Still, no matter what else you have on, you can't be too badass if you're wearing a diaper.

Logicblade: Not down for diapers.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #47. I find it pretty awful that Vullaby is 111th on my list. The fact that it could make it this high just... wow.

Paratroopa1: it took putting a gross tweety bird-like vulture in a diaper to create the worst bird pokemon ever and it still ranked above like 20 things

StifledSilence: Best to just shove it out of the nest and let nature take its course.

ctesjbuvf: I like the design, but really disappointing Pokemon that evolves too late.

junglebob22: The skull diaper is amusing, but Vullaby is just plain ugly

Raka_Putra: Ugly ass diaper, they think it's clever but it's really not.

Magmortar: You cannot tell me a skull for a diaper is actually appealing.

Genny: Literally the "Diapered" Pokémon. Sorry, but you don't design a pokémon after a sick fetish. You also don't make your pees and poops inside somebody's skull. That's disrespectful to Grandma!

Brayze II: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/169/4/b/baby_vullaby_by_alecyayawesome-d3j9l7f.jpg

OrangeCrush: Ugliest baby ever.

Natwaf: Ugly NFE Trash

Wicklebee: tubbytubby

PrinceKaro: The only people who could truly love this pokemon are diaper fetishists.

Inviso: This thing is wearing a f***ing diaper. A F***ING DIAPER. Also, level 54 to evolve a tank? Nope.

Wigs: this is the worst abomination humanity has ever created.

StifledSilence: Aww, what a cute hippie monkey! I don't understand why so many people hate the monkeys. They're so cute and even pretty useful in battle.

OrangeCrush: Eh... The original Black/White had a shortage of good water types, so getting this guy for free if you joined the Smugleaf master race was nice. If it weren't for that, he'd be a lot lower though.

Inviso: The ONLY monkey of the six that I think actually has a halfway decent design. While the others all wind up with stupid haircuts, this one actually comes out looking somewhat cute. I guess it's high praise to make my top fifty, given how I dislike most Water-types.

Natwaf: Appaarently this thing is blind, and you're looking at it's pupils, not closed eyes. Freaky enough to love, and I (begrudgingly) thank it for it's help when I chose Snivy.

ctesjbuvf: As much as I don’t like any of these monkeys, this one looks pretty cool with the reggae design, so points for that.

ecksgem: The only reason this guy isn't at the bottom with the other monkeys is because I swept a friend with one and I thought it was funny.

Genny: Actually it would be okay if it weren't wearing a freaking dress. No that's not a tunic, it's a dress. Sweet dreads.

Suor: I have to give it credit for the brave fountain haircut. Other than that, eww.

Magmortar: I guess dreadlocks (even if they look dumb) are cool so it’s above Panpour but due to being a FUCKING ELEMENTAL MONKEY (WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE SIX OF THESE POKEMON) it’s still p’bad

Anagram: Does anyone like the elemental monkeys? I'm curious to see who puts them in his top ten. Someone always does.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #10. I believe this pokemon is the start of the demise of us all. Pack your bags, we ain't getting out of this one alive.

Wicklebee: Welcome to Jamaica man, the place with the accent that everyone tries to copy.

Bane_Of_Despair: Hey, my guy in FAHtastic's Pokemon comics! Still doesn't help much.

Wigs: no.

Cybat: This thing is so...I can't even think of an adjective that describes this design. Other than "embarrassing".

SanityLapse: Monkeys suck.

XIII_Rocks: Who fucking cares about these fucktards

KommunistKoala: Crime against Pokemon. The one saving grace for this piece of shit is that it isn't part of the Clamperl line.

StifledSilence: Fireball monkey! So cute!

Genny: I just don't understand why these guys get pissed on so much. They're rather cute, especially my personal favorite Pan-Pan with its big ears and curly swirly hair~ <3! I picked Oshawott for my first playthrough of Pokémon White, so Pansear is the one I had the most exposure to. It wasn't exactly a beast in battle, but it got the job done and there weren't very many Fire types early on that I can recall so even more time to grow attached.

Raka_Putra: It's actually kind of okay but it's just useless.

ctesjbuvf: Looks bad and is useless.

Cybat: This guy is just Chimchar with a dumb hairdo.

Magmortar: WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE SIX OF THESE POKEMON

Anagram: The least terrible elemental monkey is still extremely terrible. I remember being relieved that this is what I (accidentally) received in Gen 5.

Paratroopa1: he looks like he's sorry about how much he sucks. he should be sorry

Wicklebee: Burn baby burn

Inviso: Best of the three monkeys, solely based on the fact that it doesn't have some weird hair sprout thing going on. Still lame though.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #12. It reminds me of one of those bratty kids who you want to punch in the face. Luckily, maybe if you punched his face hard enough, it'd cause permanent damage and actually improve his looks.

junglebob22: Its related to Simisear, so it's the worst

Wigs: no.

SanityLapse: Best name of this gen. If only he were derpier to fit the name.

StifledSilence: I know he takes a lot of flack, but I really like Gurdurr. Plus I caught a shiny!

Inviso: Still ugly, but it gets funnier to me that this thing now wields just a random I-Beam.

Magmortar: DURRRRRRR (I definitely get why people hate this one)

ctesjbuvf: Looks super ugly. Isn’t that good.

Wicklebee: hurrdurr

Logicblade: Veins and brain tumours now? This line just gets more and more disgusting.

junglebob22: Its veins are pretty gross

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #15. Nope nope nope nope nope.

Brayze II: http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/336/f/9/no__533___gurdurr_by_ultyzarus-d5i7lod.jpg

Natwaf: Ugly NFE Trash

Raka_Putra: Durr durr durr, yeah, you're not making it into Maxim's cover any day soon. So stupid, why can we see the outline of its brains?

Anagram: Gurdurr is literally one syllable away from hurr durr, which is the sound I imagine the person who designed it made while desgning it.

PrinceKaro: hurr durrrr urrrr gurr durrrrr? *drool*

Paratroopa1: hey, so since we can use the word fuck now, I'm going to abuse the fuck out of it in my writeups. fuck fuck fuck I HATE THE FU***CKING THING FUCK. DILDO.

Genny: This is without a doubt my least favorite pokémon currently in existence. There's eyesores and then there's eyeplagues and this whole family is just that, with this abomination being the pinnacle of the term. I just... I cannot imagine what was going through the minds of the team that designed this line. "Hey guys, let's make a line of big veiny dicks with clown noses- that's what the kiddies wanna see!" And before you start to argue... no you're wrong. The whole family is big bulging penises, not circus strong men. Proof: http://assets.cantbeunseen.com/hashed_silo_content/1f0/4ae/8c8/resized/Gurdurr_weenis.jpg Though the entire line is my least favorite to date, Gurdurr takes top- or rather bottom marks because to me it goes against everything I stand for. I feel like whenever I say "Middle evos are the best/my favorite/severely underrated" all someone has to do is show a picture of Gurdurr and I'll be temporarily defeated. Like... my opinion wouldn't change but I just have no argument for that. Gurdurr is indeed the worst. What can I say?

Suor: Possibly the ugliest thing ever conceived. The veins rolling around the arms are the next level of gross.

Cybat: Dear lord. Just look at this thing. What the fuck. ……..Durrrrr

ecksgem: It's a bodybuilding clown covered in unsightly veins. Strong contender for worst Pokemon ever.

Paratroopa1: doesn't need to be an evo of luvdisc because luvdisc is wonderful as he is, you MONSTERS

Natwaf: WHY? WHY DID THEY DECIDE NOT TO CONNECT THE POKE IN UNOVA WITH THE OTHER REGIONS WHEN THIS THING IS SO ****ING OBVIOUSLY A LUVDISC EVO? Alomomolomomola isn't uselless, thankfully, though still outshined as a bulky water. And I like it's design

Suor: You can't fool me. This was Luvdisc's evolution and you decided later that you wanted to soft-reboot the series. So in the end, you deprived Luvdisc of its well-deserved evolution. You guys at GF suck.

Inviso: If it wasn't for its palindromic name, this thing would be completely pointless. Why didn't they just make it a Luvdisc evolution for Gen VI or something?

Brayze II: http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/8de934642f596eb2b8db26b2b2d01652 i186.photobucket.com/albums/x259/1dragonking/pokemon%20gijinka/Alomomola.jpg

Wigs: why is this a palindrome

Logicblade: I don't hate this dumb fish, but it's wholly unnecessary.

junglebob22: I remember when everyone thought it was going to be a Luvdisc evolution

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #28. Sigh...

Drakeryn: watch as this ranking puts me in, like, the top 10 for this pokemon. no I don't like it, it's just that everything below is worse

Wicklebee: Why did you not evolve from Luvdisc?

StifledSilence: Remember the Alomomola.

Genny: The Caring Pokémon, it cares for injured pokémon it finds in the sea. That's nice of it. If only it could somehow make me care.

Raka_Putra: Like Luvdisc but twice more unneeded! Nobody wants you, nobody ever will.

Cybat: There is no way this wasn't originally intended to be an evolution of Luvdisc. At least I hope that was considered at some point, otherwise it makes it even more baffling that this was allowed to exist. Palindromes are cool at least.

KommunistKoala: Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Fuck.

Magmortar: I, quite frankly, am glad Luvdisc does not evolve into it, because Alomomola, despite being actually useful (unlike Lumineon), is a totally forgettable, easily discarded Pokemon that would completely ruin the legacy of the Heart of Awful. Fuck this thing.

Bane_Of_Despair: Stupid useless not-Luvdisc-evolution motherfucker

Anagram: It's probably not the worst Gen 5 pokemon from a purely design standpoint, but if you're going to ripoff an older pokemon, why, of all the possibilities, would you ever, under any circumstances, choose Luvdisc?

ctesjbuvf: Why the hell create another useless heart Pokemon? It’s name is even annoying.

BetrayedTangy: Ugh, why isn't this an evolution for Luvdisc?, it doesn't need to exist on it's own like this.

StifledSilence: Broccoli monkey! So cute!

Genny: It's a cute little bush monkey (wow that sounded racist) whose family takes way too much heat. Cilan's while not a stand out character, had several good moments in my opinion. Now I never used one seriously because Sewaddle can be found pretty early on so after the Trio Badge gets got there's no further use for it really, but in the brief time I trained one it was decent. All Pans are. One last thing. "It shares the leaf on its head with weary-looking Pokémon. These leaves are known to relieve stress."; "It's good at finding berries and gathers them from all over. It's kind enough to share them with friends." So first it gives its friends weed and then gives them berries to counteract the munchies. What a bro.

ctesjbuvf: It looks better than most other monkeys and is nice in the anime, though it lacks some personality.

Raka_Putra: It's adorable actually.

Paratroopa1: the best of the monkeys by virtue of not just being the worst it could possibly be, basically

Cybat: Well, not that much separates the three monkeys, but this one is the least bad. At least I'm finally finished ranking them.

Wicklebee: Welcome to the jungle

Magmortar: Original the Character!

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #13. I have a tree growing on my head! I'm cool right?

Anagram: The elemental monkey who gets the most attention simply by being a member of the main anime cast, I have to say: Pansage is no Piplup, or even Togepi.

junglebob22: The green one is the best

Inviso: I'm stunned to discover that not a single monkey wound up in my bottom ten. This thing's hair still sucks though.

Logicblade: Almost the worst monkey.

Wigs: no.

XIII_Rocks: Who fucking cares about these fucktards

Magmortar: I don’t even know. It looks so hilarious….it looks hilarious, huh?

Cybat: Quite possibly supplants the Abra line as the one that is the most fun to say the three names in succession.

Anagram: People often claim that the gears aren't as dumb as Magneton and Magnemite, but I disagree. They're way dumber.

Inviso: Middle evolution syndrome. It's not as cute as Klink, or as cool as Klinklang. It's just a middle form.

Wicklebee: The sound of metal… ADD MORE GEARS

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #39. Again... why?

Genny: And for the first time since Generation I, Game Freak picked up the tube of super glue again.

ctesjbuvf: Maybe if they hadn’t created the line in three seconds, it would be higher. It’s also boring.

Paratroopa1: he has weird lips

Raka_Putra: The name pun is just unbelievable.

Magmortar: Voltorb is better.

Natwaf: Pfft the haters. I like Foongus as a mimic more than Voltorb. And DEFINITELY more than ****ing Electrode.

Inviso: It's higher than Amoonguss because at least it's kinda cute instead of having a derpy face. But really, it's the same damn problem of being a useless Grass/Poison-type in a generation with bad Poison-types.

Genny: OH MY GOD IT'S A MASTER BALL! SOMEONE DROPPED A FUCKING MASTER BA- oh never mind it's just a shiny Foongus. *Flame Bursts*

Anagram: It's like someone asked "what is literally the least original and least interesting name I could give a pokemon?"

Inviso: This thing is completely f***ing adorable. Seriously, I get that it's a rip-off of Magnemite, but I don't care. Klink with its little X eye is so friggin' cute and I'm already sad it will rank way lower than it deserves.

Wicklebee: I KO'd a shiny of this Poke in one hit. Oops.

Anagram: I'd like to imagine a Victorian-era clock whose innards is made entirely of dead klinks. Eventually they start to putrefy and smell, but then you ask how beings made of metal can putrefy.

Cybat: I like the design of their faces; they sorta-kinda work at any of the three angles that they look face-like at. But does this mean that all gears are or can become sentient? Kinda messed up if you think about it.

junglebob22: Klink is an okay first-stage Pokemon, too bad its evolutions are so uncreative

Genny: It's kinda cute I guess. Not exactly creative in any way, shape, or form though.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #37. Why...?

Brayze II: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/100/3/8/150__project__amoonguss_by_edface-d3dot0p.jpg

XIII_Rocks: fuck off steiner

StifledSilence: Wasn't this an Incubus album title?

Magmortar: Although it is fun to use, there is a TINY number of Pokemon I would want to deal with less than an Amoonguss. Breloom is at least frail and has a 4x weakness.

Paratroopa1: he's a'ight

Inviso: This ranks as high as it does entirely because I appreciate its name as a Seinfeld reference. Beyond that, it's a complete wast eof space and manages to look pathetic as a Poison-type in a generation desperately lacking in Poison-types.

ctesjbuvf: It’s fully evolved and it sucks. Deserved a bad placement.

Anagram: Poor Parasect. It has NOTHING unique other than a x5 weakness to fire.

Genny: I wish the Fungus Among Us pun wasn't wasted on a line so trite because I love mushrooms and there really aren't enough in pokémon. Just Paras and Shroomish lines right? Needless to say this does not live up to either of its predecessors in terms of stats, unique typing, appearance, or anything really. Also steals the Voltorb/Electrode gimmick in a somehow even less funny way.

Suor: There's one word that perfectly defines Amoonguss as a pokémon in the battling metagame: Anal.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #4. Ugly piece of **** trash and is one of the most annoying wall/stallers in existance. Who in their right mind could like such a unholy creation.

Logicblade: Dumb mushroom.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #64. http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/karrablast.jpg Roar I am karrablast!

Cybat: Nice to see a new twist on a stale evolution mechanic, although still not extremely interesting (and it means I always forget which bug evolves into which). But this guy is very unremarkable himself, except for his weird name.

KommunistKoala: The generation of bugs begins now! (Hope this isn't ranked higher than other bugs or I'll look dumb)

Paratroopa1: he's a tiny little imp and that's cool I guess honestly even #107 isn't that bad

Wicklebee: I like the evolution path of those two… but the Pokes they come from are just so weird…

Magmortar: Honestly? Whatever, give me the big spider any day over this little shit.

Logicblade: I might have liked this more if they didn't pretend that this wasn't Heracross' baby form.

Raka_Putra: Ugly shapeless bug. This is one Pokemon I won't mind crushing underneath my feet.

Anagram: I don't know why its collar turns into a wrench above its face, but that's enough to make me give a spot above Stunfisk.

Inviso: Generic first-form Bug-type that brings nothing new or exciting to the table. It's evolution method is annoying as well.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

StifledSilence: Pretty cool name for something you can just step on.

Genny: You are a complete asshole for stealing Shelmet's shell, do you know that? You are also complete ass in battle, I bet you knew that!

ecksgem: This thing is generic even for a first stage bug. Massive disparity between it and its evolved form.

Suor: Trading evolutions are among the dumbest mechanics in pokémon. This trade evolution in particular is stupid beyond excuse.

OrangeCrush: I watched the episode where Ash caught his Palpitoad and remember that Palpitoad sounded -really- pissed off.

Raka_Putra: Argh, ugly mutant toad. :(

Wicklebee: Someone needs to pop that giant zit on your head.

Paratroopa1: completely ridiculous which is being sort of cool by proxy

Magmortar: what IS that face

Anagram: I must admit that this line is very clever. Frogs = Warts, warts look like drums, drums have to do with vibrations. The problem is that the execution does not live up to the idea.

ctesjbuvf: Looks lame. Nothing unique about it. It was completely useless in the anime.

StifledSilence: Hey kids! It's Palpitoad, the heart palpitations toad! He's here to remind you to stop eating so much or you'll drop dead of a heart attack and DIABEETUS!

Brayze II: http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/265/b/3/oshawott_vs_palpitoad_by_kingofthedededes73-d4al3xw.jpg

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #25. I heard you guys liked giant zits. Also, I heard you guys liked pokemon with faces you want to brutally maim.

Genny: How dare you have "pal" in your name? YOU ARE NO PAL OF MINE! This is a prime example of a line that just gets worse and worse as it goes along. Tympole's face is just so brilliant. Genius was struck. Then this happened. And that. 100% chance of mild spoilers for my list because obvious middle evo is obvious is bound to place last in its family.

PrinceKaro: You really need to get those cancerous tumors looked at, my good sir.

Logicblade: This line just gets worse the further you go.

Wigs: NO. STOP. GAMEFREAK NO.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Cybat: He was in the middle of the pack at first but then I went and looked again at his design. There's just something…off about it that makes it very easy to dislike. Doesn't help that Water/Ground is boring.

Inviso: Oh look. It's a Water/Ground type you can get before the second gym, doesn't look particularly appealing, and is otherwise more repetitive than three generations of Fire/Fighting starters.

Bane_Of_Despair: This honestly is probably one of, if not THE, worst Pokemon design out of every generation. I can't even really begin to comprehend it.

Genny: To explain my love of this pokémon I would have to reveal a bit of my past. Eh why not? So I had a goth phase in high school. I always loved the way I looked in black and to be frank so did my would-be suitors. I was also way into anime (and this phase of my life hasn't quite subsided) so it only follows that I would be familiar with the gothic lolita style. To announce a pokémon based on it would basically stir up all sorts of nostalgia. Then there was the fanart. As I'll explain with another pokémon sure to place higher great fanart can elevate my opinion from indifference to love, and I already liked Gothorita to begin with. I won't bog you down with examples, so just take my word for it or have a look yourself.

SanityLapse: It only makes sense for a goth to be a goth when they are in their teens.

Suor: When Jynx ain't around guess who's the baddest b***h in town.

Inviso: Best of its line is still not all that spectacular. People complain about Gardevoir Rule 34, but this thing is literally designed for some creepy f***ing artwork to exist. That being said, it looks halfway decent, so higher ranking.

Wicklebee: The gijinkas of this line are better.

Logicblade: Oh a Goth tower.

Natwaf: THESE WOOOOUUUUUUNDS THEY WIIIIILLLLL NOT HEEEEAAAAALLLL

Raka_Putra: Fastlane from L.A. to Tokyo, etc. She thinks she's so fancy.

Cybat: "According to many old tales, it creates friends for itself by controlling sleeping children on starry nights." Uhhh OK

Anagram: "What we need is a seven year-old girl pokemon" - Japan

StifledSilence: The anguish in her heart is matched only by the despair in her soul.

ctesjbuvf: Middle evolution of a line that is boring and disappointing.

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/095/f/6/scraggy_choking_gothorita_by_keijimatsu-d3daxl2.png

Paratroopa1: sigh

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #6. What... were... they... thinking?

Magmortar: I did not want a reminder that this…THING (and I use that term loosely), existed. Why does it even evolve.

Wigs: no.

junglebob22: Why wasn’t this line Dark type? This gen already had enough pure Psychics.

Raka_Putra: Haha yeah, I'm probably the highest ranker of this guy, but he's swell, isn't he? The best of the elemental monkeys by far and I just love how he looks. Too bad he's unusable by any measure.

StifledSilence: This dude has some crazy ass hair.

Magmortar: The only half-decent monkey; a semi-sage, not quite a sage. I really like its sprite in gen 5 (that SNEER), and its shiny is awesome too, but it’s still…not very good. I can just look past that since it actually has an appealing design.

Drakeryn: Monkeys are dum, but I actually like this one (and -only- this one). He actually looks like a bro, unlike his pals derp and squish.

Natwaf: I like it the most of the 3 monkeys. It's still an elemental monkey though.

Genny: The best Simi. What a glorious pompadour. Let me take this moment to remind everyone that Elvis Presley is the only human male that has ever successfully pulled off that hairstyle. If you think you look decent with one then you look even better without it.

Suor: The only monkey that doesn't suck. Might be the Saiyan haircut.

Logicblade: A tolerable monkey? Where they do that at?

ctesjbuvf: Looks alright for what it is, but I don’t like the monkeys.

junglebob22: Cool hair, Simisage. Too bad you're still one of those dumb monkeys

Paratroopa1: we're really in the lean part of this list when I'm ranking this asshole about fucking anything, this list of pokemon goes to shit so fast

SanityLapse: Monkeys suck. BUT, it was pointed out to me by friends that Simisage does indeed have the same hairstyle as my favorite user, Pokewars. So he managed to escape the Bottom 6 because of it!

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #24. He's not that bad.... Hahaha who am I kidding yeah he is.

Inviso: This thing has a pompadour, so I guess it's a big fan of Beldum and Aerial Ace. Still a lame monkey though.

KommunistKoala: Well this monkey isn't a complete disgrace. It's still related to the rest though so it only gets 15 spots.

Anagram: The Elvis hair would make more sense if Simisage had any kind of connection to Elvis. This is where you tell me how Simisage is inspired by some kind of pointy haired Japanese deity, but I can't pretend to give any kind of crap about the elemental monkeys.

Wicklebee: We got fun and games

Wigs: no.

Bane_Of_Despair: Weird trying to look like Elvis. These monkeys aren't great.

Cybat: This one comes the closest to being a passable design. But man, that hair…and those eyebrows…sigh. GameFreak, what did monkeys ever do to you?

Wigs: distinctly reminds me of shellder and that's good

Raka_Putra: The lips are movin' movin'

Paratroopa1: he just wants a kiss. with tongue

Ermine: Okay so... Shelmet actually sorta reminds me of the Whisperers from Wakfu. Which ALMOST makes me like it... but the Whisperers themselves are just one hundred thousand times cooler. I mean look at these guys! http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/210/b/6/_wakfu__master_shhhudoku_by_veonara-d6fso5v.png So long story short... Whisperers are great and Shelmet is not really at all.

Brayze II: http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/i/2011/139/1/1/team_tribute_by_chenanigans-d3gqv4f.jpg

Wicklebee: Stop it Gene Simmons, but the tongue back in your mouth.

Genny: I know I should probably hate this thing but... I just can't bring myself to hate that ridiculous kissy-face.

Cybat: Its mouth is really weird. Its shell is funny but why doesn't it get to be a Steel type? Is it not actually metal? Then how does Escavalier…oh whatever.

ctesjbuvf: I kind of like the design, but it’s useless.

Magmortar: It is a bug in a shell. Wow. Much original. (I put it here because while it is generic and non-exciting, it is not offensively terrible; it is probably the line between “awful” and THERE IS NO REASON AS TO WHY THIS FUCKER EXISTS)

Logicblade: It's evolution is cool, but it's a dumb kissy face thing.

StifledSilence: Gen 1 sent a cease and desist letter on this day.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Anagram: The kissy lips disgust me.

Inviso: I rank this just slightly above Karrablast because, while Karrablast gets the cooler evolution, Shelmet has the slightly cooler initial design.

OrangeCrush: No one will ever want to kiss you, Shitmet

Suor: Why the duckface, you gonna take a selfie? Lol.

Genny: The face that started a meme. Do I even need to say more here?

Wicklebee: Well, looks better than Poliwag as a tadpole, imo.

Anagram: I'd like this more if it didn't have those stupid music note eyebrows.

Cybat: What. Is the deal. With your face.

Raka_Putra: Otamaro face is just unbearable. I don't want to see it.

SanityLapse: The instant I saw this Pokemon, I loved it. It's one of those "wow, they actually went there" Pokemon. Literally garbage. BUT, it's not just about it being garbage (Ok, it kind of is). I also happen to really like his look. His unevenly designed arms are very fitting of being trash, like he's just built out of whatever random things are there. Plus he looks exactly like a Totoro which is kind of cool http://i.imgur.com/s4AoUP9.png . Yeah, he's just so awesome. Easily one of my all time favorite Pokemon. Dat mouth. Dem eyes.

Brayze II: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/268/6/8/dasutodasu_wants_to_be_kawaii_by_erokero-d2zhrw6.png

BetrayedTangy: I know what you're all thinking, Garbodor this high? What's wrong with you? Well back when I frequented the Smash Boards and Games n Things, we had a sort of Hunger Games RP, but we chose fictional characters. And well for our sixth 'season' someone chose Garbodor, which everyone forgot about and literally just survived until the Final Six where it was auto killed by the host.

Magmortar: Now GARBODOR on the other hand is such a strange Pokemon I can’t help but laugh at it. It’s…a morbidly obese exploding garbage Mickey Mouse. And you can get Nuggets from it! What the heck.

Suor: The Roxie battle in the anime made me realize it can use garbage to extend its arms and use them to move around. I already liked Garbodor, that s*** made it even cooler, don't get the hate.

XIII_Rocks: I know, I know, LITERAL GARBAGE, all that shit…you guys are fools. Garbodor is SUPPOSED to disgust you. It's SUPPOSED to be gross. It's a poison-type based on garbage. And that's what I like about it; it evokes such disgust from people it must be doing its job well.

Paratroopa1: I don't understand how they combined a pile of garbage with my neighbor totoro and you guys DON'T think it's amazing, you guys LOVE garbage and miyazaki films

Natwaf: Night of the living Trash. I don't get the haters of it's concept though. You're okay with living sludge but you're not okay with living trash? I mean, hating copies is one thing, but geez. Other than that, I don't have any particular memories to this thing.

StifledSilence: I wonder if when the matador tosses out his trash after a bull fight, it's the garbodor.

Wicklebee: This is what happens when Muk goes to the garbage dump.

Cybat: I wonder if this placement will put me in the top half of his rankings? I don't have an issue with the concept, he is a Poison type after all. But, that doesn't mean he has to have those weird hands. And mouth. And eyes. And ears. And arms.

ctesjbuvf: Being literal trash is sorta funny, too bad it’s not only literal.

Anagram: When people say this is garbage, and other people say Muk is the same thing, all I can think of is… no. It's not. This is much worse than Muk, and Muk is not a paritcularly good pokemon to begin with.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #21. Literal trash. Everything below this pokemon is worse than trash!

Raka_Putra: Right, a trash Pokemon…and they wonder why everyone hates it.

Wigs: do I have to say anything even?

KommunistKoala: Ugh. I'm at a loss for words.

Genny: The only good thing to come out of this- the ONLY good thing- is that you can now say "Wow this pokémon is such trash; in fact I'd rather use REAL TRASH than it," and actually mean it. As soon as the powers that be base a pokémon off of fecal waste, Garbodor will be completely irrelevant. Oh please make that happen. Rhyperior is close, but not quite. Random, but I always want to write it as "Garbador" and that not being the correct spelling kind of infuriates me.

Inviso: I hate the fact that this, along with Amoonguss and Scolipede, were the only new Poison-types of the generation. Poison should be better than literally garbage. Logicblade: Literally trash.

ecksgem: kill… me…

Bane_Of_Despair: Do I have to explain? Blah blah garbage as a pokemon but it just looks bad

StifledSilence: This fish is FURIOUS. I love the angry piranha! I was skeptical to use him/her in battle because Poke-fish are usually crap. But holy hell the power!

Magmortar: Pirahnas! Not much, but good at what it can do.

Natwaf: Oh my goodness, STOP Aqua Jet-ing my face dammit! Adaptability is nice. I actually like it a bit, and Blue > Red

Inviso: I don't know why I like Basculin as much as I do. I always see people hating on it for being generic, and I understand that…but it always did wonders for me when I traded for it in BW.

Paratroopa1: sort of a shame they wasted this concept because we have enough useless fish and could really use more useful fish

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #63. You are a boring boring fish.

Brayze II: maybe you want to see this one on your own time http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2015/061/3/f/basculin_by_elpatrixf-d8k5md3.png

PrinceKaro: Dumbass ugly fish with a severe constapation problem.

Anagram: Of all of the useless, pointless fish pokemon, Basculin may be the most unnecessary. At LEAST Lumineon is a type of fish normal people don't see and aren't familiar with.

Wicklebee: … Why did Game Freak let Gastrodon and Carvanha breed to create this piece of shit?

KommunistKoala: Completely forgettable. In fact I wasn't sure it was a pokemon when I saw it on this list.

Cybat: "Oh, this thing is everywhere while fishing, I guess it's the Magikarp equivalent for this gen. Can't wait to see what it evolves into." ……oh.

Suor: Two forms, one useless species.

junglebob22: The side-effect of Gen 5's lack of Water-types is that this jerk was everywhere in BW1

Raka_Putra: Yeah, I would be so angry if I were so ugly too.

Genny: The more I see this thing the more I dislike it. Not only is it the epitome of useless fish pokémon, but it doesn't even have a cool design or interesting gimmick to justify its existence. Same stats as Lumineon, same gimmick as Shellos. There's just nothing original about it, and the fact that there's TWO and neither of them are special just screams last-minute addition to fill the fish pokémon per region quota. Also half their potential abilities revolve around recoil moves and they only learn two. WTF?

Logicblade: Holy crap, do we have enough useless fish in pokemon? Nope.

Scepter: Ebasculating

ctesjbuvf: This thing shouldn’t exist. It can’t even evolve.

Natwaf: The Kami that is mostly used in it's Therian forme, thanks to Regenerator. Also our first Mono-Flying, not counting Sky Plate Arceus. Hurricane HURTS, so keep it sunny or you'll be sorry.

Magmortar: Pretty decent for the first ever pure Flying type. The bird one is even better, nice utility Pokemon.

Paratroopa1: this is only a ranking for the weird version that is some kind of bird genie. nobody gives a shit about the basic palette swap genie form. nobody. but yes the bird one is cool.

Inviso: Highest ranked genie for me doesn't make my top fifty. It ranks highest solely on the basis of being the only pure Flying-type in the game, which seems like a tremendous oversight.

ctesjbuvf: Gets some points for being a pure flying type, but I don’t really care for the forces of nature. Well, small things matter at this point of the list.

Suor: Ugliest color scheme ever conceived. Not even its bird-like therian form can save it from being the worst genie (which is a highly debatable feat, as they all suck).

StifledSilence: Sounds like a good name for a Sith Lord.

BetrayedTangy: F*** Tornadus, up until this point, there was no such thing as a solo Flying type and I thought it was an interesting little tidbit. But no Tornadus had to go and ruin it, and to make it worse, it doesn't even look like it should be a solo Flying type, it looks just like the other -us Pokemon. The only reason I have it so 'high' is because everything below this sucks.

KommunistKoala: Ugliest of the genies. God damn this thing is hideous.

PrinceKaro: Hey kids! Create your own legendary! Just fill in the blanks!! (name), the (element)-type pokemon! This (color)-skinned genie flies on a cloud with his arms crossed with a tail that is a (type of sex toy) and causes (weather type) as he passes!

Genny: Wow. First ever pure Flying and its wasted on this- this mess? I don't even know where to start with this. Both formes just have the absolute worst color palette, with a combination of green and purple reminiscent of a seasick mandrill's ass. Oh and speaking of palettes I'm sure I don't need to remind you that there are two more of these things that look almost exactly the same. XIII complained about how accepting Lumineon as anything but awful meant accepting Game Freak's laziness, but come on does it really get more lazy than copy/pasting one design twice, varying the coloration and fine details, and calling them three new pokémon? Rhetorical question, it does not. The only thing that comes close is gluing more pokémon onto a pokémon and calling the result an evolved pokémon à la Dugtrio, but I digress. Therian Forme is really no better than Incarnate Forme. In fact it may just be worse. It's just as fugly as the genie, but it's now wearing Ariel's seashell bikini and is sporting a chubby for some reason. I guess stealing from little mermaids and wearing their clothes is what gets it off? Don't even try to tell me that sorta boner is a jewel. Look where it is. No fucking chance.

Brayze II: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/285/6/3/tornadus___pokemon_day_2013_berlin_by_hamsterpfote-d6q6oqv.jpg

Logicblade: Herpes Genie, Green!

Raka_Putra: In the ideal world, there will be no stupid genie theory to ruin the Pokemon franchise. Even Vlado wouldn't do it.

junglebob22: Tornadus has the most interesting Therian form, but it's still one of the ugliest Pokemon of this gen

Wicklebee: I'ma tornado, wee

Anagram: I have never met anyone who likes the elemental genies even a little bit. By any metric except usefulness, there is just nothing going on here.


Cybat: And I thought the lake trio was badly designed. I understand that this is inspired by a culture I don't know very much about, but it could at least look slightly appealing. Its bird form is dumb too.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #1. I don't quite understand what exactly the designers were thinking when they designed the genies. Actually I take that back, I have no ****ing idea what they were thinking. How in any way possible could someone look at these things and say ""Yeah, this looks like a great set of pokemon, we did a great job here!"". More likely the response to seeing these things is for the person to lose their lunch and lose all faith in humanity. What a disaster and what's worse is that these pokemon are competitively viable so if I ever wanted to play competitive again, I'd have to look at these pieces of **** all the time and to be quite honest, that's enough to make it so I never play competitive again.

Genny: Tiny Moe > you. That nickname is ironic because the darn thing is almost a foot long! Seriously its sprites are almost as misleading as Roselia's and Metapod's. But unlike Mawile I won't hold that against this cutie. Once upon a time I was breeding Eelektross and hatched a shiny Tiny. Keep in mind the difference is negligible, which is kinda fucked you know? I almost chucked the damn thing cuz it wasn't the nature I wanted. Anyway it's up this high cuz adorbs and nostalgia.

Ermine: This pokemon is actually kind of cute and if it wasn't for its really weird mouth I'd probably have it a lot higher. Still pretty cute. The white with yellow works really well here.

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/302/4/5/tynamo_nomnom_by_cuney-d6s9gzx.png

Drakeryn: this guy pretty much redefines bland (until he grows up and becomes a hideous monstrosity)

Paratroopa1: probably won't rank very high but I think he's a cute little dude with a horrifying mouth

junglebob22: Locking in a moveset for a first stage Pokemon is interesting, but taking it to level 39 is a bit too much!

Anagram: Do you know who also has an X mouse? Predators from Predator. I'd love an R-rated movie about a Tynamo murdering Arnold Schwarzenegger's friends.

ctesjbuvf: I like the design and name. Kind of cool. It’s just completely useless until it evolves.

Natwaf: Cute NFE Trash

Magmortar: I’m not really sure what they were going for here, but whatever it is, it came out badly. WHAT A JOBBER!

Inviso: This thing is rare, only learns four moves, and evolves super-late. But it's cute, so it gets somewhat of a pass.

Cybat: Don't really understand why this guy has a completely different design and naming scheme from the rest of his line, but whatever. Not super interesting but his color scheme is reasonably appealing.

Wicklebee: Oh look at it… it's kind of nice.

Raka_Putra: Wow, what? What is this…thing? Something you accidentally swallow when you swim in the ocean, that's what.

Wigs: Sperm and garbage. If I ranked you below this, I have ranked you below a cum dumpster.

Logicblade: Boring.

StifledSilence: If I saw this creepy ass thing in a lake I'd be legitimately terrified.

OrangeCrush: Literally sperm

SanityLapse: Just when you thought they couldn't make a bag of trash look adorable, Nintendo decided to prove you wrong! The little sad overbite face is what really makes it for me. And being trash. Being trash is helpful.

Brayze II: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/342/5/9/no__568_trubbish_by_pitch_black_crow-d5nf3es.png

Wicklebee: There are plenty of Pokemon in this generation that I am surprised they came up with the designs of… Literally garbage, is the craziest thing they came up with and this guy is derpy yet cute. I like it.

Suor: In the end, this is a great and creative concept. Funny how much garbage is far worse than the literal garbage pokémon in these games.

Magmortar: I did say it was better than Dustox (IT IS LITERALLY FUCKING DUSTOX, it’d be much more difficult to make a Pokemon WORSE than Dustox), but that means next to nothing since Trubbish is…wait for it…garbage.

Paratroopa1: everyone below this, congrats, you're worse than literal garbage! albeit cute hilarious garbage

Cybat: Much better at actually representing his design concept than Garbodor, although his arms still look weird. Funny how the knot in the bag is its ears.

StifledSilence: It's kind of a cute little bag of trash.

Natwaf: Literal NFE Trash, so bonus points for that.

Drakeryn: I used to hate this guy but I feel more charitable after drawing him for Nick's topic series: http://i.imgur.com/Ntxp9vW.jpg

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #38. More trash!

Genny: I've actually been sold on Trubbish... sort of. It's... pretty cute at times. Maybe. It's still NFE trash though.

Logicblade: It's garbage, but it's just not as bad as the rest.

PrinceKaro: NFE trash. oh ho ho.

Anagram: While hideous, Gen 5 has a lot of really bad pokemon, so it's not even in the bottom sixth.

KommunistKoala: Literally trash. At least it's kinda cute trash unlike it's evolved form.

Raka_Putra: It can be adorable in fan arts, but canonically it's just NFE Trash

ctesjbuvf: Looks nice. That’s all good there is about it.

Wigs: Garbage. If I ranked you below this, I have ranked you below garbage.

ecksgem: Trubbish is so stupid looking but somehow manages to avoid my bottom 15. I like that it has a relatively simple design as compared to Garbodor.

Inviso: Literal trash. Jesus, how do you manage to ruin a Grimer ripoff when you didn't do half-bad with Gulpin/Swalot?

Inviso: It's cute, I'll give it that. But Zubat was cute too. And it has a better early movepool than Zubat. Still, it's definitely an inferior bat line.

Raka_Putra: Still better than Zubat!

Logicblade: Kind of cute, but the heart nose is disgusting. At least it's fuzzy.

Brayze II: http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/i/2012/200/b/3/clyde_the_woobat_by_lindytheamazeing-d57vwvg.png

KommunistKoala: 'woo' does not apply here.

Anagram: It took until I saw Swoobat to decide if the heart thing was a nose or a single eye.

Cybat: I can be pretty patient with the blatant knockoffs this gen. But seriously, you basically only changed one letter of the name with this one. The joy of not running into Zubats in every cave is pretty much mitigated by this thing being the same thing but with a weirder face.

Wigs: Ric Flair bat

Genny: I liked it more when I thought it was some kind of funky lovestruck cyclops. Knowing its just a literal interpretation of a heart-nosed bat takes some of the magic away. And did it really need to be blind and ubiquitous in caves and caverns? Obvious substitute for Zubat could not be more obvious. I get WHY there had to be so many rehashes in this generation (because like II it was all about starting over and previous generation pokémon could not be encountered until after the game was beaten) but come on, at least be slightly original... At least the typing wasn't the same. Poison/Flying always did kinda tank.

Wicklebee: Why the heart?

Magmortar: To quote Smogon, “It is completely outclassed by Sigilyph in every way except Speed. That includes cuteness.”

ctesjbuvf: Resembles Zubat too much and it’s bad and annoying.

OrangeCrush: Zubat was so cool, so Gamefreak gave us another one with a heart theme!

Natwaf: NFE Trash

PrinceKaro: For the last time, stupid does not equal cute, and this thing is just f***ing stupid.

Wigs: please go easy on these guys b8 even though you won't see this til its too late

Magmortar: extremely dumb looking to the point of hilarity, even has a dumb NAME (moreso in Japanese of course), and battling wise, it’s an alright-ish Pokemon with obvious strengths and weaknesses. I’m just putting it here because it’s funny.

Cybat: Has two pretty neat signature moves and almost nothing else. Seriously, this line might cumulatively have the single worst movepool in the game. Which is a shame because it's a perfectly reasonable concept.

Natwaf: SHIFT GEAR! But between the Gears that hit Twice, Volt Tackle, and Return for physical attacks, it's just meh

XIII_Rocks: METAL GEAR?!

Inviso: I don't know what this could've done better to make me like it more…it's just not on par with Magnezone, and it manages to ruin the cuteness of Klink, sadly.

KommunistKoala: I had this thing right next to its predecessors for being Saturn Klang but I thought I'd give it some credit for its signature moves at least. Yes that propelled it 50 spots. Gen V

Anagram: Why are we following Mortal Kombat rules?

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #41. This line is just bad.

ctesjbuvf: This Pokemon actually isn’t that bad, but I feel like they created the line in three seconds to make some pure steel. Pure steel is pretty boring so there’s also that.

Genny: Friendly reminder: If you don't have all three of these pokémon in close proximity to each other... you are weird.

Wicklebee: MORE GEARS, NOW WITH A RANDOM RING!

Logicblade: Super boring gear pokemon.

PrinceKaro: This pokemon really grinds my gears.

Raka_Putra: I have to grind my teeth everytime I see it. Ugly face, unneeded evolutions, lazy evolution, and all-time favorite inorganic design…it's just a recipe for disaster.

Paratroopa1: ugh ugh ugh

Bane_Of_Despair: Gears, why the fuck not 5 generations in. But this is why not.

StifledSilence: COLONEL! TELL ME ABOUT METAL GEAR!

junglebob22: Klang and Klinklang are the laziest evolutions in the series

SanityLapse: This is the best of the ice creams because it looks like a typical ice cream cone.

Wicklebee: Look at that face. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:583Vanillish.png He's like that one breakfast cereal that wants to eat itself.

Raka_Putra: Gets unjustifiable hate.

junglebob22: <D

Anagram: The mouth alone puts this in the five derp pokemon.

Inviso: Better than Vanillite if only because the design is slightly better. Still nothing special.

StifledSilence: Better stay away from that ice cream truck.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #34. "Let's see. What should we do for this middle evolution for our ice cream pokemon." "Let's make him look ***CENSORED***!" "SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN!"

Natwaf: I LOVE ROCKY ROAD! SO HAVE ANOTHER TRIPLE SCOOP WITH ME!

Magmortar: How high do you have to be to think fucking rock ice cream is a good idea for a Pokemon.

Genny: You suck. How dare you look so damn happy?

Cybat: I don't hate the concept of "object" Pokemon in and of itself. But this is a perfect example of how to completely botch the execution. It also raises a lot of uncomfortable questions.

Logicblade: Dumbest icecream.

ecksgem: Giving an ice cream cone a dumb face does not make it cute or funny, as I'm sure some will argue.

Genny: D'aww lookit how kwoot!

Wicklebee: Why does this exist?

StifledSilence: Stop being such a patrat and throw away those things you're hoarding!

Logicblade: Not as cool as Boss Watchog. Also not a rat I would pat.

Inviso: I think I have to agree with the people who call this the weakest of the generic early-game rodents. It's just nothing special.

Anagram: Looks like a one episode villain in Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Brayze II: http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/125482_700b.jpg

Drakeryn: this guy could've made the 'inoffensive and bland' tier if it weren't for the freakish possessed eyes

Magmortar: Even for an early game rodent, this is way, way, way below the standard.

Paratroopa1: maybe this really wasn't worth it

Raka_Putra: Ugh, ugliest first com-Mon ever. It just looks so unhappy all the time. Someone put the species out of their misery.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Cybat: Creepy eyes. And he learns a much more annoying moveset than other early Normals. Fighting the inevitable swarms of these things is such a pain.

ctesjbuvf: Looks bad and fails to live up to Ratatta and Zigzagoon.

Natwaf: The Kami that is mostly used in it's Incarnate Forme, thanks to Prankster. Many a cry of anguish were made when it's priority status moves were used. It's also a whole lot better than the Emolga I used. My favorite of the Kami trio!

SanityLapse: Anal beads.

Magmortar: I’ve always liked the genies a lot because what they lack in originality they make up for in being able to totally pulverize things, and although they aren’t very…original, they are pretty damn stylish. Electrogenie is one really annoying and powerful thing.

Paratroopa1: wow it must be awesome to be neither the best nor the worst of a set of things that are clones of each other

Genny: The definitive best of the Kami Trio... which is really not saying that much. It's neither helped nor hurt by its additional forme imo, but the original form was good enough to begin with. I actually used a Thundurus after catching one, unlike the other genies which went right to the box. He was pretty darn groovy. Definitely no Zekrom though.

Inviso: I'm surprised at how high I have the legendary genies, but this one is definitely the worst of the three, since we already have a MUCH MUCH better Electric/Flying legendary in the series.

ctesjbuvf: From a lame legendary trio.

StifledSilence: Thund R' Us, the new toy store created by Zeus for all the children he made by sexually assaulting human women.

PrinceKaro: Hey kids! Create your own legendary! Just fill in the blanks!! (name), the (element)-type pokemon! This (color)-skinned genie flies on a cloud with his arms crossed with a tail that is a (type of sex toy) and causes (weather type) as he passes!

Brayze II: http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/214/3/5/heath2_rq_3__thundurus_vore_by_sylis1232-d42ny24.png

Logicblade: Herpes Genies, Blue! At least blue is a good colour.

Raka_Putra: Ugly as fuck. Fuck, why do they have to exist?

Cybat: Better typing, color scheme and Therian forme than its buddy, but pretty interchangeably horrible in its regular form. I didn't even notice their "tails" were different until starting these writeups.

Wicklebee: I ride a thunder cloud, wee

Anagram: I have never met anyone who likes the elemental genies even a little bit. By any metric except usefulness, there is just nothing going on here.

junglebob22: Ugh I actually prefer its genie form, and I HATE the genie forms of this trio

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #3. I don't quite understand what exactly the designers were thinking when they designed the genies. Actually I take that back, I have no ****ing idea what they were thinking. How in any way possible could someone look at these things and say "Yeah, this looks like a great set of pokemon, we did a great job here!". More likely the response to seeing these things is for the person to lose their lunch and lose all faith in humanity. What a disaster and what's worse is that these pokemon are competitively viable so if I ever wanted to play competitive again, I'd have to look at these pieces of **** all the time and to be quite honest, that's enough to make it so I never play competitive again.

Bane_Of_Despair: Dunno if this guy is popular, but meerkats are great and I love this guy's crazy eyes for some reason. Just really cool for me

Wigs: this guy reminds me

Ermine: I really want to like watchog... but I really just can't that much.

Logicblade: This pokemon is a troll in it's highest essence. I've had a few revenge kills happen to me in my black nuzlocke.

Natwaf: I love how intense his eyes are.

Magmortar: Earns a little credit for Lion King parodies that cast it as Timon.

Inviso: Better than Patrat, barely, but still nothing all that special. It just looks weird.

StifledSilence: Except it's not a watchdog. It's a rodent.

Wicklebee: What?

ctesjbuvf: Fine I suppose, but looks incredibly ugly.

Brayze II: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/328/d/b/no__505_watchog_by_pitch_black_crow-d2yksah.png

Anagram: The second worst of the Raticates. The only one it's better than is Raticate.

Paratroopa1: I like how every pokemon in gen V is like almost sort of useful, or has some point, except for this one, which doesn't

Genny: How in the world does one mess up something based on a meerkat and a prarie dog? Like this I guess. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed when my Patrat evolved. Two really awesome animals apparently don't always make one really awesome pokémon. I could probably deal if not for the safety vest pattern of stripes, though that still wouldn't remove the extremely annoying learnset.

Cybat: Still has an annoying moveset which makes it really obnoxious to fight. But meerkats are cool. Weird tail.

KommunistKoala: Bleh.

Raka_Putra: No, no, no, no, no. Horrible, horrible Pokemon. Just see their eyes and it's needlessly terrifying…judging you from afar, waiting for you to white out so they can feast on your flesh…and oddly humanoid too, so it's probably too intelligent for comfort.

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/326/a/b/boldore_by_ultyzarus-d5lup5h.jpg

Magmortar: It looks like an Xbox 360 controller. That’s about it.

Anagram: I'm almost sad this line didn't get the Gurdurr naming system, since that way we could have had Boldurr.

Cybat: Its placement is slightly improved by its far superior shiny coloring. And its name is way better than Graveler.

ctesjbuvf: I like this line, but it looks so ugly and it’s kind of stupid. Got a bit of anime screentime but had no personality.

Raka_Putra: Eh, it's alright.

StifledSilence: Aww but the first rock pun in this line was funny.

Suor: F*** you, f*** Sturdy and f*** Graveler for getting it too after you did.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #53. This pokemon is very interesting!

Genny: I really want to like Boldore because it's based on like the coolest kind of rock ever but eeeehhhh... Even the coolest rock is still... just a rock. Unless it's a diamond.

Paratroopa1: I cannot think of any earthly reason to prefer roggenrola or boldore, they are basically the same thing

Inviso: This is the cut-off point between stuff I outright hate and stuff I just don't care about. See, I like the Roggenrola line design-wise, but I'll be damned if it's not f***ing annoying, trying to grind in a cave or something and running into a group of Pokemon that cannot be OHKOed due to their stupid Sturdy ability.

Logicblade: More like Boredore.

OrangeCrush: Gen V's change to Sturdy is cancerous

junglebob22: Slightly more interesting than Roggenrola, but Sturdy still sucks in wild battles

Natwaf: How much do you hate random encounter Sturdy enemies? I know I do. Fortunately, they're slow as molasses, so running away is easy.

Bane_Of_Despair: Just a bunch a rocks, nothing about it stands out like its counterparts

OrangeCrush: Lolitower is underrated

ctesjbuvf: I thought this was really cool at first. It’s alright, but it was a major disappointment to use it.

Wicklebee: CRACK A TOWAAAA

Natwaf: Shadow tag ****ers! Other than that, eww pure psychic. Give me back muh Gardevoir

Cybat: Sure, her design is a little creepy, and gameplay-wise it seems like a missed opportunity that she wasn't Psychic/Ghost, but…I dunno. I kinda like it.

Genny: I hate her freaking "hair". If she had anything other than stupid disks sticking out from the side of her head I'd rank her a minimum of 30 spots higher. They really blew it in terms of designing her, ugh. In battle however I found her quite nice. Serviceable. I did enjoy using her. I keep saying her but male Gothitelle is literally a thing lol. Gotta dock some points for that.

Inviso: It's certainly a big step up from the awful olicon of the first form. But this thing just isn't special, and Gardevoir does its job much better.

Logicblade: Oh a Goth tower.

Paratroopa1: it is completely beyond my capability of thought to understand why anyone would ever like this thing

Raka_Putra: It's like a whole tower of ugliness, just for you.

StifledSilence: We have pignition!

Inviso: People hated on Wizards for saving this thing for so long in SMP, and I did too..but in retrospect, Pignite's pretty cute and the best of its line.

Steiner: RAISE DA ROOF makes an exception to terrible starters gen

Logicblade: Worst pun of the bunch. Also worst starter of the group, but not all that bad.

Scepter: I'm less mad at it now than I used to be

Wicklebee: This pun is cute. Ignite the pig, but GO AWAY FIRE/FIGHTING STARTERS

Raka_Putra: No. Get away.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #67. Pignite is the awful line. He decides what is awful and what is not. He himself is awful but he is the king of them all. Congratulations Pignite.

Paratroopa1: wow I'm just blown away by the universal appeal of this pig in a wrestling singlet

Magmortar: Ranks above Tepig since it gets cast as Pumbaa in Lion King parodies. Yeah, this guy is not very good. Generation 5 is not very good.

Genny: OTOH I feel like Pignite gets too much flak. OTOH it's the third freaking Fire/Fighting starter in a row and brings nothing new to the table in terms of battle prowess. Also its design is ugh. I know pigs are infamous for being fat but come on! Only some kind of weirdo would like a fat, pig wrestler. They should really try to make every stage of a starter line appealing in some way.

Brayze II: http://i.imgur.com/jFrTxLO.jpg

Natwaf: NFE Trash

ctesjbuvf: An alright battler, but looks pretty bad. Now the main reason for its terrible placement comes from the anime Pignite, that completely failed to do anything for me. It lost its personality upon evolving and they couldn’t find a balance between it being supposed to be strong and also not being too strong because they realized it had accomplished nothing.

PrinceKaro: Why does my cute little Tepig evolve into this stupid looking f***er? Did he eat too much lard?

Wigs: It's like if huntail wasn't stupid

ctesjbuvf: No weaknesses as long as its ability is intact. Great in battle to begin with.

Brayze II: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/080/7/f/real_eelektrik_by_spastman-d3c4zz8.jpg

Anagram: I want to grab one by the tail and flail it around until I smash it into a vase or something.

Cybat: Really low-hanging fruit with the design and name, isn't it? But we were overdue for an electric eel, and this one is fairly interesting. Weird eyes though.

Natwaf: Creepy (in a good way) NFE Trash

Magmortar: it looks like Huntail’s idiot hillbilly brother

Raka_Putra: Electric eels are scary.

Wicklebee: No.

Inviso: This thing takes forever to evolve, and then you have to stone evolve it further, meaning either you stick with lame Eelektrik, or miss out on level up moves. Not terrible though.

Logicblade: Electr…ICK. Goes from cute and boring to gross and unusable.

StifledSilence: lol itz eelektricity

Suor: Another stoned pokémon, at least has a cool name.

Genny: This thing looks so sad. Did Tynamo line really need a middle evolution, particularly one this pathetic and miserable? I happen to like eels, and think lampreys are interesting but ugh... this... Corniest name ever btw.

ecksgem: Unappealing and uninteresting middle evolution.

Anagram: I have no opinions re: Roggenrola

Wigs: haha good job pokemon namers

SanityLapse: It's a walking hole.

XIII_Rocks: One of my few Pokemon accounts

Brayze II: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/248/0/1/past_present_and_future_aurora_by_aquaaurora97-d7y0kze.png

Raka_Putra: That name tho.

Cybat: It can't even learn Rollout AND it has nothing to do with music? What is the deal, GameFreak.

PrinceKaro: It is an anus boulder. Do not want.

KommunistKoala: I like his name. That's enough to beat almost 60 pokemon in this gen.

StifledSilence: I AM THE AYATOLLAH OF ROGGENROLA!

Wicklebee: Rock-and-roll… is apparently worth an anus. Thanks GameFreak.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #45. No, the jokes aren't funny.

Suor: Looks like an anus.

Paratroopa1: they really went for it with that name for something that is basically a polygon

Magmortar: Not only is Geodude better, Geodude also does not look like a vagina.

Genny: Is its hole an eye, an ear, a nose, or a mouth? You know what? I'm going to pretend it's an ass hole, just so I can say everything I ranked below this literally lost to a walking anus. (I know it's an ear, I can read.)

Logicblade: Is that supposed to be it's mouth? Gross.

junglebob22: It's an unremarkable pebble that prolongs battle with its ability

Natwaf: How much do you hate random encounter Sturdy enemies? I know I do. Fortunately, they're slow as molasses, so running away is easy.

Inviso: I never expected to like this thing as much as I do, but then Gen VI rolled around, with competitive battling, and it became really fun to breed (plus it's super-cute).

Wicklebee: You get hurt by touching me, lolol.

Magmortar: Ferrothorn is fun, but Ferroseed…isn’t really. Another reason I hate little cup

Cybat: Probably one of the scariest first-stage Pokemon. Seriously, this "seed" is two feet long. Terrifying.

Paratroopa1: why is gordo from kirby in this game

Anagram: I don't really like Ferroseed, but I like it much more than Ferrothorn.

Logicblade: Ferroseed is basically Pineco but I don't want to break him in half.

Brayze II: http://pokemon-online.eu/data/avatars/l/53/53403.jpg?1418418531

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #57. Uhhh yeah....

ctesjbuvf: Good combination for a grass type, not that remarkable or useful.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Raka_Putra: Ultimately I put this below its evolution, but both are just so ugly. The color scheme is horrible, terrible, horrific…and it looks like a sad extreme sex toy.

Suor: There are countless people I would have sit on Ferroseed, to put it kindly.

Natwaf: Leader of the Kami Trio, and unlike Tornadus and Thundurus, this dude is more physical oriented. A Ground/Flying that makes more sense, he's got two great abilities either allows it to setup or to just kick ass right from the start. Definitely looks the part of a Kami with stats to boot.

Magmortar: Really capable of wrecking house, and I love the dumb therian form, flying four-legs is pretty legit, in the 3D games it looks ridiculous in a good way.

XIII_Rocks: Wooo marshmallow head

KommunistKoala: The best of the genies, in terms of battling and design I think.

OrangeCrush: Palette swaps are lame, but he's Mega Manectric's BFF in competitive. I'll use that duo if I bother playing on Smogon again.

Inviso: The middle genie for me, Landorus has the coolest animal form, since it's more mammal than bird. Flying/Ground is already covered by the Gliscor line though, so meh.

Paratroopa1: I'm not giving a writeup to the worst genie, he doesn't deserve it, his tail is dumb and his other weird form is the worst one

ctesjbuvf: Lame legendary trio, but solid fun type combination.

Genny: This is the Kami that's helped the absolute most by its Therian Forme. I still can't say I'm a fan but the panther thing is badass.

StifledSilence: Land Doris never learned how to swim in school. She stayed out of the pool.

BetrayedTangy: The little bit of Gen V I have experienced is with Showdown and the handful of Pokemon that appeared in Gen VI. That being said, I hate people who use the Therian form, it's extremely fast and extremely powerful, so much in fact that while wipe out an entire team, just to be sweeped by this piece of s***

Brayze II: http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2012/039/c/7/landorus_by_kerxert_edges-d4p1q3u.png

PrinceKaro: Hey kids! Create your own legendary! Just fill in the blanks!! (name), the (element)-type pokemon! This (color)-skinned genie flies on a cloud with his arms crossed with a tail that is a (type of sex toy) and causes (weather type) as he passes!

Raka_Putra: I dislike you so bad. I dislike you so, so bad.

Logicblade: Herpes Genie, Orange!

Cybat: This guy has the most respectable color scheme, Therian forme, and typing. Buuuuuuut yeah he's still pretty lousy.

Wicklebee: I just suck. All there is to it.

Anagram: I have never met anyone who likes the elemental genies even a little bit. By any metric except usefulness, there is just nothing going on here.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #2. I don't quite understand what exactly the designers were thinking when they designed the genies. Actually I take that back, I have no ****ing idea what they were thinking. How in any way possible could someone look at these things and say "Yeah, this looks like a great set of pokemon, we did a great job here!". More likely the response to seeing these things is for the person to lose their lunch and lose all faith in humanity. What a disaster and what's worse is that these pokemon are competitively viable so if I ever wanted to play competitive again, I'd have to look at these pieces of **** all the time and to be quite honest, that's enough to make it so I never play competitive again.

Raka_Putra: This is something The Avengers ate in the post-credit scene.

SanityLapse: Everytime I see this Pokemon, I think it's a fetus still attached to its umbilical cord. I finally had to find out what it actually was, and apparantly it's just badly drawn gas. Either way, I refuse to accept it as anything other than an umbilical cord, so enjoy 44th you fetus.

Inviso: I like its evolution from already cute Munna into still cute, but more cuddly Musharna. Plus I imagine this is Bianca's best friend in the whole world, which is adorable.

Paratroopa1: occasionally you find art where musharna has its eyes open and it's REALLY WEIRD go back to sleep you weirdo http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/8c/Fennel_Musharna.png/250px-Fennel_Musharna.png

Natwaf: I wonder what that chick in Kanto's reaction would be when she sees this line? And the illusion on Team Plasma was great. Boring to use and fight though.

Cybat: This just looks unsettling. And not even in an interesting way. Just kinda…floats there, looking weird. Its dream mist seems oddly tangible in 3D, too.

Magmortar: this thing and munna look near identical, I barely remember which is which. I guess this one is lower since it is not subject to…thoughts.

ctesjbuvf: Such an utterly boring psychic type. Both the game and the anime attempted at making it interesting, but it’s just too boring and not that good.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #27. Oh boy I can't wait to get myself a Musharna!

Anagram: I'm not the first one to observe this, and I'm stealing it from someone else, but screw it: this literally looks like a smoking pig fetus.

Logicblade: Looks like a floating cloud of pink crap.

Wigs: no seriously what is this ?? What are any of these???

Genny: Oh come on. We already had a dream-eating tapir like pokémon based on a baku and that one was infinitely less nauseating.

Wicklebee: Does the aborted fetus line exist?

StifledSilence: This is what would happen if Kirby's metabolism deteriorated and he got terminally ill.

Suor: I love how flamboyant and fabulous male Unfezant looks, and as a bird pokémon trainer I couldn't avoid trying to use one despite being possibly the worst regional bird ever in battle. Female Unfezant is inferior.

Paratroopa1: I like the male version with the colorful pink face more than the drab looking female version. sexism rules! now you know the reason I like birds

Brayze II: http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/341/e/e/____sexy_and_i_know_it_____by_xxsilvercakesxx-d5ncuss.png

Genny: I like the males okay, but female Unfezant is... unpleasant. It's already tough enough to follow an act like Staraptor's but when you follow it up with a pokémon that is 50% the absolute blandest generic first route Normal/Flyer it's like... Gosh why do you even bother existing? I know in real life the females of most bird species look less interesting because the males are the only ones who take a proactive approach in attracting a mate, but I don't play games with torpedo sharks and haunted balloons for realism.

Wicklebee: Female form exists. :( Also, we need a Peacock pokemon.

Logicblade: I'm pretty unphased by this low ranking of a archetype I normally like.

Magmortar: I am…uhhh, quite unsure. Worst first route bird? Probably.

ecksgem: Unfezant is this high only because the male brings some much needed color to this otherwise dull line.

StifledSilence: Yes, it's unpleasant.

Anagram: The "un" should have been taken to its furthest extreme. We should have had a reverse pheasant. Just give us the dripping interior of a bird, revived by unholy necromancy. I'd love that.

Inviso: Gen V is the ONLY Generation where I think the generic Normal/Flying type found on early routes…is lame. Unfezant's design for the female is bland, and the male just looks plain stupid.

Raka_Putra: ??? No, thank you.

junglebob22: I don't like the silly mask on the male and the female is the most drab bird Pokemon ever

KommunistKoala: This ugly ass bird.

Cybat: Utterly forgettable. The male version at least is kind of interesting-looking but yeah, they completely phoned it in with the route 1 bird line this time.

ctesjbuvf: Utterly terrible for the bird you can catch early. It’s really bad, it looks really ugly, especially as a female and it’s name sucks too.

Natwaf: Oh my god Lu Bu bird is quite possibly the WORST of the early birds. The move set it gets and it's stats are opposite. Male > Female design wise, but it's so awful I banned it from my E4 Mo-Normal team.

XIII_Rocks: Yeah fuck off. This is worthless. After Swellow, Staraptor and then later Gen VI's excellent Talonflame I thought GF had turned the corner in terms of making their regional birds both look good and be usable in-game. Instead they give us this trash; ugly (especially the bald form) and utterly unusable in-game. Especially egregious in a game lacking great flying options. This is awful; among Game Freak's most irritating crimes. You cannot build an expectation with two great birds and then unleash this shit on us. Fucking awful.

Scepter: After Unfezant, I no longer have a thing for regional birds

Inviso: I like this line SO much better than its cotton counterpart. Petilil is adorable and evolves into something even more adorable.

Anagram: Probably the worst Pokemon-related experience I'e ever had was breeding a shiny Petilil. That took me forever. I never want to do it again.

Wicklebee: It's kind of cute, and is all female so should be… but bleh.

Paratroopa1: it's pleasant enough, although it has a pretty weird shaped body

Cybat: Totally standard first-stage Grass design, but it just works for me. I think it's the eyes, they're expressive without being weird.

Natwaf: ADORABLE! Still NFE Trash

Genny: Cute lil' lady with nothing else to offer but her adorableness. She evolves into an utter beast though.

Logicblade: Petilil was a surprise for me. Normally I wouldn't train a pokemon like this, but Liligant made it worth it.

Raka_Putra: WTF is this shit

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #40. No.

XIII_Rocks: oh my god who the hell cares

Magmortar: whatever. This generation is not what I would call inspiring.

ctesjbuvf: Looks fine, but did we really need so much useless grass.

Paratroopa1: kinda not sure what this is aside from being a ball of fluff but it's great

Wicklebee: Christmas a couple years back my brother's girlfriend saw a cotton farm and asked what cotton was used for nowadays anyway. All the boys in the back (myself, my brother, and my cousin) were grabbing at their clothes laughing. She didn't last long as his gf after that.

Anagram: I feel like this should be on the end of a Q-tip and covered with earwax.

Logicblade: It kind of has that embarassed anime girl look on its face and that's very strange. Still cute though.

Brayze II: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/014/2/d/cottonee_with_a_hat_by_twilir-d3765j2.png

Cybat: It has a weird mouth. Other than that…really not much to say. Glad it got the Fairy type.

Raka_Putra: It's kind of like nothing. I can't imagine raising it.

Natwaf: ADORABLE! Still NFE Trash

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #54. I feel like they just took a blob, stuck a few clouds and leaves on it and poof, a new pokemon!

Genny: The design is too simple for me. A cotton spore that evolves into a sheep is a good concept though.

Magmortar: I feel like I’ve used all my insults already, because this generation is just so FUCKING AWFUL and I have run out of ways to express this other than saying it outright

Inviso: Generic Grass-type that evolves into another Grass-type I don't care for. It's not terrible though, I guess.

Wigs: do you know what this is? It's a PIGGLYPOOP! They're very rare. (Skiploom? Is that you?)

StifledSilence: Would it be rude of me to ask you to pick my Cottonee…up from day care?

ctesjbuvf: Ugly grass fodder.

Raka_Putra: Duosion sounds like something, I don't really get it, but it's like a boss from a video game. Say, SSBB or something.

Anagram: Do you think we'll ever have a diffusion pokemon? I mean a pokemon that where its presence in one area is low, but in an adjacent area is high, the areas will equalize over time. Actually I guess we already have that: its name is Ferrothorn, and the areas are peoples' teams. Slowly but surely, it's entering every team so that there will be an even spread of one Ferrothorn across all areas.

ctesjbuvf: Kind of interesting, but never really pay much attention to middle types.

Cybat: Its name makes it sound like it should be cooler than it is. But it's still a pretty good design. And 125 special attack, wow.

Brayze II: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/310/4/6/hpm___duosion_problems_by_ciress-d5k7s57.png

Paratroopa1: solosis but with tiny little arms, a completely necessary evolution

Natwaf: Creepy (in a good way) NFE Trash

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #58. Keep going Duosion, you'll eventually be awesome. Just not yet.

Genny: The very definition of okay.jpg

Wicklebee: That diamond is its mouth… apparently. Weird.

Logicblade: Two Floating Abortions

Inviso: I actually really like the Reuniclus line, but Duosion's definitely a weak link in the design department.

StifledSilence: I can does science

Magmortar: I hate cells already, what makes you think a two-in-one is AN IMPROVEMENT.

Wigs: Sperm, garbage, and fetuses. What is this game trying to tell me?

OrangeCrush: A fetus, but not as blatant as Reuniclus

SanityLapse: This is both terrifying and delicious looking.

ctesjbuvf: Might not be the best, but the design is epic and it’s fun enough to use in game, even if it lacks competitively.

Scepter: Delicious

Natwaf: For the record, my favorite Ice Cream flavor is Cookies and Cream. Second is Caramel and Biscuits (Haagen Dasz). Anyway, this thing… yeah. Trash. It's the special to Beartic's physical, but it doesn't have the stats to back it up.

Wicklebee: Now it's two scoops, and one wants to eat the other. While the other has a… *redacted for moderation*

Genny: I know its design is about as appealing as cold soup or maybe warm, soupy ice cream, but guess what? On a whim I decided to try one out in battle and it was actually pretty damn beastly. That means something to me. Plus, it's not like Generation V gave us so many more great options for Ice types anyway.

Drakeryn: The ice creams started out near the bottom of my list, then kept getting pushed up because there was always worse stuff to put below them. Gen V (tm). also sup lefty

Inviso: Best of its line, but not by much. It still looks generic…it just looks less generic than Vanillite and Vanillish.

PrinceKaro: It's a f***ing ice cream cone!

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #46. Now your ice cream is only half *redacted*!

Anagram: I know that ice cream cones can have more than one scoop of ice cream, so it's not unreasonable to have an ice cream pokemon with multiple scoop-faces, but at the same time, we didn't need an ice cream pokemon to begin with.

StifledSilence: Don't stoners usually like Cheetos?

Cybat: Yep, the first time a Westerner gets to develop Pokemon, this is what we get. I do think the concept coud have worked in theory, but…come on. A straw?

junglebob22: <8

Magmortar: I’ve seen better is all I can say. What the literal fuck is this line.

Raka_Putra: Too much going on.

KommunistKoala: Well, at least this ice cream has a straw in its head. And shoots out mist or something. ****

Logicblade: Dumb icecream.

Paratroopa1: I think this thing was made by a brit or something? thanks, way to really represent all of western culture in pokemon, you did a good job.

Inviso: I like Sawk more, but I still apreciate Throh for being a tough Fighting-type that odesn't afraid of anything.

StifledSilence: Typoh

Natwaf: Not sure why Judo and Karate guy look Polygon-y, but it works.

ctesjbuvf: This guy is badass enough, but not liking him as much as Sawk. Not being able to evolve him drags him down a bit. It’s no fun having a “full evolved” that early.

Wicklebee: http://pokebot.everyboty.net/pix/217.jpg

Anagram: I actually don't completely hate the muppet fighters. I would be a lot more merciful to Throh, but its name is just so ****ing stupid that there's no redeeming it. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee are not clever names, but they're still far cleverer than a Judo pokemon named Throh.

Paratroopa1: "Vanillish isn't so bad. I'd say he's better than these rankings!" "Why's that?" "They're both awful to look at it, but at least Vanillish has good taste!" DOOHHHHOHOHOHOHO

Logicblade: More like No. Do not want.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #36. There continue to be a lot of bad fighting pokemon.

Genny: His name is Throh. He specializes in throwing things. Brilliant.

Suor: Spots below Sawk for being red, angry and fat.

Brayze II: http://i.imgur.com/YJJ75.jpg

SanityLapse: Such lazy design.

Cybat: Well congratulations GameFreak, you have successfully distilled the very worst of gen 1's design patterns: creepy clothes-wearing humanoid Pokemon and laughably uncreative names. What a time to be alive.

PrinceKaro: I really mean it, no pokemon wearing people clothes! It's f***ing stupid.

Raka_Putra: I can't really decide, which one is worse, Sawk or Throh. Stupid concept, stupid design, stupid names, these are just unbelievably bad.

ctesjbuvf: The only bird in this family that doesn’t suck. Frankly, I might just like the name.

Paratroopa1: deserves either a 50 rank bonus or a 50 rank penalty because of the ability big pecks and its name, but I couldn't decide which. so I split the difference and did nothing

Logicblade: Because you're putting me to sleep.

Magmortar: This thing is just weird looking and not good at all. Pidove is cute. Tranquill isn’t.

Genny: Pretty darned bland, but it's this high because I like its name and cry.

Inviso: Generic design, but not actively terrible, so it makes it just a little bit higher.

StifledSilence: Boring enough to be comparable to Nyquil for all your sleeping needs.

Brayze II: I think only 5 people even know what tranquill is

Anagram: Jesus, did I really put Tranquill this high? I guess I did.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Cybat: I always forget this thing's name. Why does its personality completely change (I guess…?) when it evolves? And also, "Many people believe that, deep in the forest where Tranquill live, there is a peaceful place where there is no war." Way to hold out on us.

Raka_Putra: Geh, it's literally a bird. It's not a Pokemon! I refuse to accept that it's a Pokemon.

Wicklebee: One Poke that'd benefit from us getting a Sound type and him losing the ground type for it.

ctesjbuvf: There’s nothing unique about this, although it’s decent in battle.

ctesjbuvf: It’s a snow cone, how can you not find that cute?

Ermine: Alright so I have reasoning behind this. Vanillite is this high because it doesn't have a stupid face ANNNND it serves a purpose. Let's say my Zigzagoon is really hungry and wants a treat, well, Vanillite is there to solve all of these problems! Yum! Snack time for Ziggy!

Magmortar: IT’S A CUTE…PIGEON GOOD ENOUGH TO ME

Paratroopa1: yep. iiiiiiit's a pigeon. look at him go.

OrangeCrush: She's easily the most disappointing early bird, but in Nuzlocke comics both Ruby's Pidove and N's Pidove are great, so that redeems her.

Inviso: Somehow, by virtue of looking the cutest in a very generic line, Pidove beats out Tranquill and Unfezant for the top spot on my list.

Raka_Putra: It's a bird, nothing much to say about it. The start of Pokemon I'm meh at.

Wicklebee: Are you a pidgeon, dove, or Starly 2.0? Make up your terrible mind!

Logicblade: I'd rather you be good! *throws empty beer can*

Brayze II: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/342/6/4/no__519_pidove_by_pitch_black_crow-d5nf315.png

Anagram: This would be so much more interesting if they had in some way worked in the number 3.14.

StifledSilence: Doves usually shit more than they pee.

Natwaf: Cute NFE Trash


PrinceKaro: hey you know what would be awesome and original? ANOTHER BUTTF***ING NORMAL/FLYING TYPE WHO LOOKS LIKE AN ORDINARY BIRD.

Genny: A small natrural-colored Normal/Flying typed small bird? I have never seen that anywhere else before.

Cybat: I know I always say that the first bird is boring, but this one is definitely the boringest.

ctesjbuvf: Really bad early bird.

SanityLapse: The derpiest guy of this gen. Whenever I see him, I can't help but smile. He makes me so happy. His call is quite possibly the best call of any Pokemon ever.

Brayze II: http://image.blingee.com/images18/content/output/000/000/000/76b/726405690_87702.gif

Paratroopa1: yeah, okay, but you're wrong and your ranking of stunfisk is stupid. http://media.giphy.com/media/jgHmLukm0SEAo/giphy.gif

Magmortar: Stunfisk is another contender for the stupidest Pokemon ever. It reminds me of Dunsparce so much it hurts, I have to love it.

junglebob22: It seems Game Freak likes to have fun with Stunfisk; look at its Gen 6 model! Also Ground/Electric is a neat type

Natwaf: XD it's face. It's got bad stats to boot, yet oddly… I find it endearing. It turned out to be pretty damn valuable in my Mono-Electric team., since it has access to Surf, Earth Power, and Thunderbolt. Dem ground types have no idea what hit them. I'm still wondering why Stunfisk is the Super Training Balloon for the Thunder Stone. Should have been Pikachu or Raichu. I mean, Fire, Water, and Grass got Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur respectively. Stunfisk is the odd mon out. But I still love it.

Suor: From Stunfisk to all the haters: http://media.giphy.com/media/jgHmLukm0SEAo/giphy.gif I bet your favorite pokémon can't do the crazy things Stunfy can do, like this: http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/psnmoonlight/stunfisk.gif.

OrangeCrush: Electric and Ground are 2 of my favorite types, so Stunfisk being the only Pokemon that combines them caught my interest. I used her on my Ground-only team and she was alright to good. Combine that with her being a bit of a meme and you have a modestly good Pokemon, right? However, her cry is farting noises, a.k.a. a big part of the reason why Stuntank is in the running for my least favorite Pokemon. Also the design is kinda weird; I like her in Gen V, but in Gen VI she's a lot flatter than I expected. In the end, I didn't know where to put her, but here seems reasonable.

Genny: It took some time, but I eventually "got" the joke. Stunfisk may not be pretty or glamorous, but... that's precisely the point. Who doesn't love an intentionally trolly pokémon? I'm not even going to reference its typing despite being a fish; instead I'll point out its Pokédex entries: "This mofo hides and waits for something to step on it, and shocks it not out of self-defense but out of pure malice, smirking while it does so." Is that not amazing? What a magnificent bastard!

Logicblade: It's so dumb it's kind of good! I can sort of see where Xuxon comes from sometimes, but even I can't put Stunfisk number 1.

StifledSilence: If it's this flat, does that make it an 8-bit Pokemon?

Cybat: Such a troll. Always fun when Pokemon have completely redundant abilities, right Rotom-S?

Raka_Putra: Disgusting.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #23. I have no words.

Anagram: Derpfish is stupid, but at least it's memorable, which is more than you can say for many fish.

KommunistKoala: They're just purposely fucking with us with this one. As if the literal trash pokemon weren't enough.

Wicklebee: Seriously, that video Gen posted in last generation that had worst Pokemon designs had this thing with just one hilarious segment that I laughed the entire time during because it was true.

PrinceKaro: They make a pokemon that looks like a turd coming out a yellow sphincter, and then give it the cry that it has. no. NO. NO!

ctesjbuvf: This thing is actually decent, but it gets a really low placement because it’s really ugly and a cool type combination is wasted on this boring thing that doesn’t even evolve. The anime perfectly portrays these flaws and fails to portray it in any useful way.

Inviso: I don't care how derpy it is and how ironically funny it is…this thing is stupid, and it shouldn't have been one of the more unique ideas of the generation.

XIII_Rocks: The birth of greatness

SanityLapse: That face.

Genny: I am completely in love with this thing's whimsical design: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/4c/554Darumaka.png It looks like something straight out of Ghibli film. Like I would not be shocked to see one rolling around Sen's forest or a trio of them mucking things up in the realm of spirits. Also I think it's adorable. It weebles and wobbles but it doesn't fall down <3. It bugs me that at least one of you is going to reference one of its unfortunate Pokédex entries as an excuse to pan it, but really how is that fair? If a pervert steals your panties from your drawer and sniffs them to get off, is it your fault for having a dresser full of panties!? Stop blaming the victim, guys! It's not like Darumaka threw its droppings at people; unsanitary ijits just picked them up!

StifledSilence: Adorable little guy but its ability is awful.

Logicblade: Never evolve, you're fine as you are, Darumaka.

Wicklebee: The reason I've never used a Darmanitan.

Anagram: Dumb.

ctesjbuvf: Nothing like what it becomes. Not really that good for much.

Brayze II: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/274/9/b/150__project__darumaka_by_edface-d5ggxf1.gif

Cybat: I had never heard of daruma dolls before this, so at least I learned something from doing all these writeups. He's pretty cute.

Raka_Putra: Little adorable daruma doll with stubby arms.

Magmortar: If it was supposed to be cute in any fashion, it failed. Miserably.

Inviso: I cannot believe something this poorly designed evolves into something as cool as Darmanitan. I rank it high because at least it's solid in combo prior to evolving, but still, sheesh at the design.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #31. Another Gen 5 poke... another face I want to punch...

Paratroopa1: just not really my thing

Natwaf: Annoying to catch due to the fact that it gets hit by the sandstorm in the location you can catch it.

Suor: People used its feces to keep themselves warm. Wow. Next.

SanityLapse: I don't normally like the little strong dude Pokemon, but this guy has such an asshole face that it's ok. I want to punch him, but not to hurt him, just to see if he'll change his asshole expression.

Wigs: better than Machop

KommunistKoala: Cute (unlike hideous Gurdurr and ugly Conkeldurr).

StifledSilence: Does the wood leave you cold?

Ermine: Machop > Timbur

Wicklebee: This guy's name is funny because it's what they say when they cut down trees.

Magmortar: handy for a first form but don’t like the design

ctesjbuvf: It’s not bad, but doesn’t really stand out. The log is cool though.

Raka_Putra: Still better than Machop!

Logicblade: Oh god it has veins popping out of it's head. Eww eww eww.

Paratroopa1: best of its line and BOY IS THAT NOT SAYING MUCH

Scepter: Little idiot

Genny: Actually on its own it's not totally horrid. I simply can't forgive it for kicking off the line that is something from right out of my nightmares. Come on, why are the fucking veins necessary?

Raka_Putra: How do you like stomping people with your nose? Yes, it does feel awesome.

StifledSilence: I love Woobat, but this thing is crazy ugly and creepy. What the hell happened?

Genny: I love bats, particularly flying foxes. They're so cute. Swoobat are fortunately a lot less annoying to battle than Golbat so it's got that going for it. Unfortunately, nixing all the tricks gives Swoobat less of an arsenal to be... ya know useful.

Natwaf: He looks so damn happy for being such an awful poke. Crobat and Xatu are SO much better. Not in my Mono E4 team.

Cybat: I'm 100% on board with a Golbat knockoff that doesn't learn Confuse Ray or poisoning moves. Sure, its heart mouth-nose is weird, but it gets a (pretty useless) signature move! More importantly, Simple is hilarious.

Inviso: God this thing is ugly. And it's a friendship evolution. It's like the reverse of Golbat to Crobat. Still, has a nice role ina Nuzlocke comic I read.

Paratroopa1: I used to have him lower but I've kinda come around to it lately, his face is hilarious

ctesjbuvf: Quite disappointing and resembles Golbat too much.

Logicblade: Kind of cute, but the heart nose is disgusting.

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/178/3/9/dawn_into_swoobat__solo_by_namida2wind-d3k5833.png

Anagram: The heart nose disgusts me in ways that aren't even quantifiable. I'm uncertain if it's worse than Golbat, though.

Wicklebee: swoon Not.

Magmortar: Honestly I’d be more scared about finding this thing in a cave than any member of the Zubat line. Fucking hideous Pokemon.

ecksgem: There is not one thing about Swoobat that is appealing to me. Waste of a bat line.

junglebob22: Eww, I would have prefered another generation of Zubats and Golbats honestly

KommunistKoala: Bleh.

Suor: The heart nose might be the single most idiotic idea any pokémon designer might have ever had. And slapping it onto a pokémon that is already awful was even worse.

Brayze II: http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2014/114/2/f/fancy_heatmor_by_kiza_nya-d7fu2le.jpg

Paratroopa1: anteaters are underratedly cool and so is heatmor, heatmor is fucking cool as hell, I like that his tongue is fire. he has a little fire tongue

SanityLapse: Anteaters are one of my favorite mammals. That is all.

Magmortar: I’m not even going to begin on just how…wrong this thing looks. But hey! Anteaters are cool and so is fire and uhhh yeah, Heatmor is a weird goodie. And its shiny is like, WHOA.

Anagram: It's a strange, simple design, but it conveys its purpose well, and there is nothing about it that I find offensive, so it eeks its way into my top fifty.

Ermine: Not Durant.

Natwaf: Ugh, I used this thing in my Mono-Fire playthrough for a bit, and I dropped it quick. I'd rather have no moves Flareon than this thing on my team. Still, an anteater is neat, And I like that it's Fire while it's prey is Bug/Steel

Wigs: more Heatran?

KommunistKoala: Being an ant-eater gets you this far at least. It doesn't offer much else to go any higher.

BetrayedTangy: I like the lore between Heatmor and Durant, but Heatmor is kind of an ugly Pokemon so ehhh

ctesjbuvf: Indredibly ugly and useless. At least it has a rivalry going on for it.

StifledSilence: hay guyz itz cold I need heat more

Cybat: There is just nothing interesting about this guy at all. He's no Zangoose, that's for sure.

Logicblade: Reminds me of the I'm an anteater meme. Other than that, ugh.

Genny: Ugh why'd they have to cross an anteater with a furnace? Heatmor is this low because I kind of hate its lopsided rivalry with Durant. Seviper vs. Zangoose was so perfect because the two are evenly matched and either could conceivably win based on which had the upper hand at a given moment. With Durant, it doesn't matter how many swarm a Heatmor. With that 4x advantage, stupid Heatmor can't lose. Given who I am it only makes sense for me to root for the underdog in this pairing. The literal flame tongue is neat though.

Raka_Putra: Yeah why is it looking an ugly sweater? Who sent it to him, Satan?

Suor: I love when you try to catch this in horde battles and Durants kill it ASAP. Fun fun fun.

Inviso: I cannot believe it's possible for a Fire-type to be this forgettable. First off, why is its name so lame? It's not a play on "anteater" or anything like that. And the design is just plain stupid.

Wicklebee: uh… this was just ugly.

PrinceKaro: It has bird beaks for hands and stovepipes jammed into its crotch and anus. easily the worst fire type ever created.

Genny: In case it wasn't obvious enough, I love Swadloon. Not just for the design which is too adorable to exist, but for the concept behind it. Swadloon is a hikikomori (shut-in/recluse), and its appearance is kind of a parody mimicking a hikikomori's stereotyped habit of wrapping him or herself up in blankets to shield him/herself from the outside world. And we all know being sheltered is endearing in itself: https://31.media.tumblr.com/2c83897b504a2381a486ea3b767117c7/tumblr_inline_n43mwvtbqA1s3dtbs.gif

That face though... that face makes me want to give it all the hugs. If pokémon were real I'd have a Leavanny in no time flat, but I wouldn't want one! Swadloon is utter perfection as is. Best cocoon ever. <3 Honestly even if I'd never seen one shred of fanart for it, Swaddles would still be top ten for this generation... I love it THAT much. But for whatever reason certain people like to draw it as the Dark Knight (ex: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/122804/3804781-i_am_the_night_by_curseofthezodiac-d3dugae.png). I mean come on... It's like this thing was tailor-made for me! Its shiny sprite even looks ridick pale and goth omg! <3

Paratroopa1: his expression alone makes it

Logicblade: Someone give this guy a hug! He's so sad. :(

Raka_Putra: Hahaha, I love his 'No I'm not getting out of my blanket get the hell away' face

Magmortar: for whatever reason, I am laughing uncontrollably at that grumpy face. that’s it.

Cybat: I had this lower before but I had to bump it up for this: The appearance of Swadloon hiding in its blanket bears some resemblance to the stereotypical portrayal of people suffering from hikikomori (acute social anxiety disorder) syndrome in Japanese media. Its evolution to Leavanny (whose Japanese name is two kana away from "hikikomori") being caused by friendship may also be a lesson.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #49. I'm a grumpy grumpy pokemon!

Brayze II: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/191/1/a/swadloon_gal_by_miyanko-d56qboo.png

Inviso: The only thing Swadloon has going for it is the whole concept of it being a flasher. Beyond that, the design sucks.

Anagram: Swadloon looks more like an assassin or a ninja than a baby, which is what it's supposed to be, I think.

Wicklebee: This guy's name reminds me of the word Swag. *lights a match, drops it on the Poke*

Natwaf: NFE Trash

ctesjbuvf: Really ugly. I’m doubting that this line needed a middle evolution. Grass fodder.

StifledSilence: This is why kids don't eat brussell sprouts.

Magmortar: Conkeldurr makes an astounding Machamp substitute in a generation filled with bad Gen 1 substitutes, and is one of the most useful Fighting-types ever. Its design is whacky but very fitting, what else gets to beat you with GIANT SLABS OF CONCRETE.

Raka_Putra: I love how the line gets out all its ugliness in Gurdurr so it can look decently menacing when it reaches its final form. This guy is mah bro.

KommunistKoala: Despite calling him ugly in my Timburr write-up, I still appreciate his power and the theme the whole line has. He still looks better than Gurdurr anyway. One of my team's staples

XIII_Rocks: The sad clown =(

SanityLapse: He likes to watch you sleep.

ctesjbuvf: Ugly as hell, although I’m somewhat fond of the pillars. Anyway, it’s decent in-game.

Natwaf: Look at that Ridiculous atack stat. Pure muscle, and I like it more than Machamp in combat. Being durable means it's most likely going to land a Drain Punch on you, and this is just a nightmare. I think it also gets Mach Punch, which is just crazy.

Wicklebee: Hey look! Deathstroke is ready TO SMASH YOU WITH CONKRETE PILLARS!

StifledSilence: The other two puns are clever but what the fuck is a conkel?

OrangeCrush: OrangeCrush's nicknames: Conkeldurrhurr, Clownkelderp. I used to hate this thing, but then I copypasta'd a team from Nugget Bridge reports that uses her along with a ton of Pokemon I like (http://nuggetbridge.com/reports/low-budget-team-building-struggles-premier-challenge-alpha-season-report/). It's a pretty good team, and while Conkeldurr is the weak link she carries out some important roles, so I'll give her credit where credit's worth.

Inviso: I'm surprised that this is such a high tier on Smogon (or was in Gen V). But I guess it proved itself. Worst design of its line, but hell, it's a badass, so whatevz.

Logicblade: Actually the least ugly of it's line, in that isn't now generic ugly instead of body horror terrifying.

--------------------terrible opinions line--------------------

ecksgem: get off my lawn you damn kids why back in my day...

Brayze II: http://36.media.tumblr.com/ccce8cda4a242cca9c859584b615d5d8/tumblr_mycxlj1LR51t3ffvco1_500.png

Anagram: It's just so ugly. You could not have more effectively DESIGNED something to be ugly.

PrinceKaro: This is why steroids are bad, kids!

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #8. Hey look! It's an ugly as sin pokemon? Gen 5? You betcha. I can't even place him at the bottom because there's even worse pokemon. -_-

Suor: Stop doing drugs dude DURRRR.

Paratroopa1: I hate you and your stupid clown nose

Cybat: Only slightly better than Gurdurr (and with a worse name to boot). By far my least favorite three-stage line in Pokemon.

Genny: I hate your face. I hate your bod. I hate your evolution method (seriously why are trade evos still a thing). I hate your name. And I hate the cancerous lump on top of your head. I hate everything about you, but what I hate most of all is that you're viable in battle. Maybe not so much competitively, but in game you're a force to be reckoned with- an ugly veiny sheer force. Sadly I can't even take advantage of your insane strength without looking at your disgusting back. Fuck off.

Drakeryn: durrrrr no

ecksgem: The Psychics this gen don't seem to be too popular, but I love this little guy. Several references to science fiction all wrapped up in a cute little package.

Ermine: Really cute and simple design that works for me. I don't expect him to do well since he is very forgettable.

Suor: For an alien that squeezes enemies' brains, this thing is illegally cute.

Anagram: I had another joke written here about a very specific type of probe, and Elgyem's head being shaped like one, but I decided to delete it.

Wicklebee: Wait why is my bike flying?

ctesjbuvf: Decent Pokemon especially for a basic form, but design drags it a bit down.

Cybat: I just love the naming scheme for this line. (I didn't figure it out by myself though.) Also it evolves at level 42. Yep. Well played.

Raka_Putra: Tiny alien lumps!

Paratroopa1: way cuter than beheeyem, I dunno, I think it's the tail, it makes him look more lizard-y and not like he's wearing a dumb overcoat

Logicblade: Aliens are among us!

Magmortar: NFE, etc.

Genny: Much better than its evolution just by not sounding like a Three Stooges reject ugh. Nails on freaking chalkboard, that. Anyway Elgyem is pretty gosh darn cute while still looking alien. Usually I wouldn't use the words alien and cute in the same sentence.

StifledSilence: What gyemstone is your byerthstone?

Brayze II: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/068/4/a/605_elgyem_by_glubglubfish-d4s9raa.jpg

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Inviso: Along with its evolution, I have to think Elgyem is the most forgettable Pokemon of the generation. I mean, it comes in a location where a FAR superior Pokemon resides, and by that point in the game, there are already several superior mono-Psychic types available.

KommunistKoala: Completely forgettable. In fact I wasn't sure it was a pokemon when I saw it on this list.

ctesjbuvf: Kinda underrated. At least I don’t see many using this. It’s fun to use, but the design is really boring.

Suor: The alien in the trench coat. A f***ing alien in a trench coat. Nothing more needs to be added.

Magmortar: Aliens! 42! Power! But mostly 42. P’cool.

Wicklebee: E.T. phone home.

Anagram: Bee hee yem sounds like some kind of really nicheband from Sweden or Finland.

Cybat: I am a fan of the concept and design for this line and Analytic is a kind of interesting ability but sadly it just doesn't have good enough stats or movepool to distinguish itself further than this.

Raka_Putra: Aliens! I like th eblocky design they chose, it's more interesting and aethestically pleasing than grey humanoid bipedal creatures.

Natwaf: Beheeyem phone home. Fun fact: It learns TM 51 in both Gen V and VI. The problem? TM 51 in Gen VI is Steel Wings. It also has Analytical to boost it's damage.

Logicblade: Aliens are not among us! *ignores beheeyem's existence*

StifledSilence: Beehive?

Brayze II: this thing sucks

Paratroopa1: he looks dumb and his coat reminds me of candy buttons, aka one of the worst candies ever

Inviso: Bland and forgettable. I really don't know why this thing feels the need to exist (hell, I can't even remember if the Psychic Elite 4 member has one, that's how little I care about this thing).

Genny: Ugh most annoying voice in anime I can recall. For something that's supposed to be hyper intelligent it sounds severely mentally impaired. I don't care if I get star- erm Steiner- modded for this; it needs to be said.

KommunistKoala: Completely forgettable. In fact I wasn't sure it was a pokemon when I saw it on this list.

SanityLapse: Cactuses are among the coolest plants. A little cactus dancer girl is quite cool.

ecksgem: Gen V has the best Grass Pokemon in the series and Maractus is among my favorites. It's just kinda odd and cute.

Brayze II: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/168/f/d/stupid_sexy_maractus_by_vintage_greg-d3j6cg3.png

Paratroopa1: maractus is just really cool I dunno why. it has cactus pigtails

Suor: They should make Mega Maractus and have it look like this: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/228/1/7/mega_maractus_by_smiley_fakemon-d7veug6.png

Magmortar: You cannot look at me with a straight face and tell me this is not a Heartless. Or for that matter, anywhere near as much of a total boss as Cacturne.

ctesjbuvf: It’s decent and I suppose it looks kind of cool, but it’s a grass type and doesn’t evolve from or to anything, so that drags it down for mee

XIII_Rocks: I said in board8chat I wasn't doing a writeup for Maractus, citing it as an example of a Pokemon that was too nondescript to ever do a writeup for. WELL HAH! JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, I CHANGE THE QUESTIONS! Also Team Cactus.

StifledSilence: Such a happy cactus.

Whiskey Nick: He would for sure sit with you at the edge of the ocean and wonder where the boat is

Inviso: Cacnea and Cacturne are both far better, but this thing is at least kinda cute…just a little bit.

Natwaf: … I got nothing. Oh, wait, I got it! Why do we need another cactus pokemon UGH

Anagram: Did you know that cacti only grow in American deserts? Whenever you see a movie about the Sahara or Middle-East and you see cacti, it's inaccurate.

OrangeCrush: Maracas!

Logicblade: Dancing Cactus fun time! You're just a cheap Ludicolo, friend.

Raka_Putra: I don't really like Cacturne but Maractus is not really that good either. It looks too slutty. #slutshaming

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #42. They even screwed up the cactus pokemon.

Wicklebee: I see masochistic Cacturne is standing out in the desert again. Oh, this one isn't a masochist, it wants sun or water instead of buffetting itself with Sandstorm weather.

Cybat: Strong contender for most forgettable Pokemon. Also, seriously, Pokedex writers? "Arid regions are their habitat. They move rhythmically, making a sound similar to maracas." Come on guys, have some respect for yourselves.

KommunistKoala: Completely forgettable. In fact I wasn't sure it was a pokemon when I saw it on this list.

Genny: We already had a cactus pokémon and it was literally perfect. We also already had a jolly dancing Mexican plant. Enough with the cheap ass Chinese knockoffs already! It's actually sorta cute in an odd way but I can't forgive it of its transgressions.

Genny: I don't even know... I could tell you why I like it more than Jellicent, but not why I love it so damn much. Water/Ghost is just perfect for a jellyfish and both genders of Frillish look amazing and have perfect movesets to accommodate their creepiness.

ctesjbuvf: For something so common and supposedly annoying, I really like this. Ghost type helps.

Wicklebee: Little jellyfish

Magmortar: Unfortunately nowhere near as PRINGLES as Jellicent and thus a hell of a lot more “why do I have to deal with this thing to get a great Pokemon” type of thing.

Anagram: Just about the only example of pokemon sexual dimophism that isn't terrible.

Cybat: I dunno about better but its design is certainly eerier than its evolved form. Its name doesn't really convey that though. Still a cool type combo.

Raka_Putra: Smaller and less good Frillish.

StifledSilence: It's not completely frilly. It's just frill-ish.

Inviso: I like the design better than Jellicent, but sadly it's just not all that special for a NFE.

Logicblade: Such a cool concept, but it's basically tentacool.

Paratroopa1: he's like sort of weird and cute but also kind of scary, like this tiny little supervillain that's going to fucking murder you as soon as he grows some goddamn wings

Brayze II: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/314/6/5/shiny_larvesta_by_hyenaprincess-d4fpo9z.png

Anagram: Larvae are among the most innately disgusting living things in existence, and on a personal level, I find bugs to be unpleasant most of the time. It's a testament to this one being well-designed that it's somehow cute.

Wicklebee: Here to burn the rest of the bugs.

ctesjbuvf: Cool looking, nice type comination, but I have little experience with it and so has the anime.

Cybat: Quite possibly the most terrifying NFE bug Pokemon. Just look: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/b6/Larvesta_flying.png. And cool typing.

Genny: I would fiesta with the besta Larvesta.

Raka_Putra: I don't know how it looks, truly. Do we really need it?

Wigs: one of the best faces ever.

Ermine: Cute little buggy.

Genny: If not for well several other things in this generation, Sewaddle would be the cutest Bug type in existence. As it stands it's still the cutest first route/forest Bug type in my humble opinion.

Wicklebee: Eh. Might have been better if we didn't have Caterpie, Weedle, and Wurmple all saying Sewaddle is just another one of them.

Logicblade: Baby buggy, soon you will be ok, but you're basically caterpie otherwise.

Anagram: It's possible to make a cute bug. If that was their intention, they failed here.

Magmortar: I cannot value cuteness that highly knowing it eventually becomes Leavanny.

Cybat: Another pretty cute bug. Sorta like Caterpie but with a leaf hoodie. Good name, too.

Natwaf: Cute NFE Trash

Raka_Putra: Just another caterpillar Pokemon, this one slightly more fancy.

Inviso: I like that it gets more than the traditional Tackle/String Shot combo you'd expect it to get, but still, nothing special.

Anagram: I wonder who will have Sawk the highest. I admit that I should probably hate it, but in my Black run, Sawk was easily the best in-game pokemon I had. It gets this high based primarily on its ability to spam close combat.

Magmortar: Sawk is a fucking Kung Fu Muppet and it destroyed everything on my old Black game, so I like it a lot.

StifledSilence: Kung-Poke

Inviso: I like Sawk for being a cooler humanoid than we typically get in terms of Fighting-types. I mean, the Mach- line and -urr line are kinda fugly, so it's nice to have a Sawk/Throh (aka Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan) around for balance.

ctesjbuvf: This guy is pretty badass, but not being able to evolve him drags him down a bit. It’s no fun having a “full evolved” that early.

Natwaf: I prefer Bert to Ernie, and the same goes for the Gi wearing duo. Useful on my White run, though watch out for Marshal's troll Sturdy one. It can hit Psychic and Flying types HARD. Too bad I had no space for it in my Mono-Fighting team. Too many legends and great fighting types in the game.

Wicklebee: http://pokebot.everyboty.net/pix/217.jpg

Logicblade: Sawk more like Suck. Do not want.

Genny: Bert is better than Ernie and blue is better than red. Thus concludes my writeup of Sawk.

Paratroopa1: "These rankings are terrible! Boooo!" "Why, because you're too low?" "No, I should've been dead last!" DOOHHHHOHOHOHOHO

Brayze II: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/012/1/4/bulked_up_sawk_by_xero_j-d5r9uyb.jpg

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #35. There are a lot of bad fighting pokemon.

Cybat: Better than Throh because of more offensive stat distribution and Sturdy. But yeah, still miserable.

SanityLapse: Is it even possible to design a more boring looking Pokemon?

Raka_Putra: Pokemon should NOT wear human clothing. And they should NOT look like Sesame Street rejects.

PrinceKaro: For the last time, no pokemon wearing people clothes! I mean, do they have a f***ing clothes store in the wild run by pokemon that they buy thier attire at?

Brayze II: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2015/010/2/3/winter_stroll__venipede_by_scarred_zoroark-d8dd4l8.png

Magmortar: Honestly I really dig the design on this thingy. Sick color scheme.

Logicblade: Cute. Not the cutest bug, but I still like him.

Paratroopa1: yay for cool bugs gen 5 has so many good bugs

ctesjbuvf: This is one of the best design of any small bug type really.

Wicklebee: He looks like he wants to break you and eat your intestines.

Cybat: So…it has poisonous feet? Fair enough I suppose. I like the color scheme but pretty standard design.

Raka_Putra: This just screams 'I'm poisonous, scram fools!'

Inviso: Last Pokemon to miss the top 100…sorry, there's just too many existing Bug/Poison types for me to rank a first form that highly with a dumb design.

Anagram: I remember casually mentioning that I call them "rolly-pollies" instead of "woodlice" or "pillbugs," and people thought this was hilarious. I had to confirm with all of my friends to ensure it wasn't just me. I'm reasonably confident that everyone in Southern California does, too.

Genny: Meh. I kinda like that look in its eyes but the whole line has that and the others do it better.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Raka_Putra: Go get a haircut in Johto, you silly Pok-emo-n.

Magmortar: dumb looking dinosaur…in a good way

StifledSilence: This isn't the beloved pet from The Flintstones.

ctesjbuvf: Cool basic stage Pokemon. Evovles a bit too late, it ends up being useless.

Cybat: Deino is the only Pokémon whose English name's letters are in alphabetical order. So, there's that.

Inviso: Takes way too damn long to evolve, the design is bland and s***ty, and it's slow, with a horrible ability.

Wicklebee: BAM BAM

OrangeCrush: A bowlcut dragon with an awful name, and since this is Gen V he doesn't evolve until level 8935013. And that's just to get to his middle form.

Paratroopa1: he's a cute ghost that looks sort of vaguely bird-like that sometimes looks at its mask, which is a mask of its human face when it was alive, and cries. HILARIOUS

ecksgem: Yamask is weird and creepy and basically awesome.

Suor: “Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry”. That's.. sad, creepy and cool at the same time.

Wicklebee: Yes, you do have a mask.

ctesjbuvf: This is a well made ghost design. It’s decent.

Raka_Putra: Creepy Pokemon who carry death masks of dead people, one of the creepiest designs ever.

Cybat: Continuing the proud tradition of ghosts' Pokedex entries being creepy as fuck. Seriously why would a ten-year old need to know that?

Brayze II: http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/009/a/4/pokemorphs_amunet_the_yamask_by_inkblot_rabbit-d59zuar.jpg lol it's watermarked

Inviso: I know a lot of people like this generation's Ghosts, but to me, they're very hit of miss. Yamask evolves fine, but it's lame on its own.

Suor: Mandy gets a lot of undeserved hate for whatever reason, but I myself love vultures. They're sneaky bastards and Mandibuzz represents that kind of attitude excellently. I like to think she uses the bones of her enemies to fix her hair. This is one b***h you don't want to mess with, and is also quite powerful in battle too.

Inviso: Okay, this is a time where I have to actually step up and defend Mandibuzz, because I feel like it gets a lot of haters for three reasons: it evolves from Vullaby, who is the worst, it's a Dark/Flying-type that isn't considered cool like Honchkrow, and it's the counterpart to Braviary, who is automatically loved because eagle. Well forget all of that, because Mandibuzz is a goddamn rock star. I normally hate tanks. They're annoying to level because a good tank tends to have weak attack stats. So I never bothered using a Mandibuzz until Gen VI. Breeding for competitive battles because more feasible, and suddenly I wanted to make a team of all Dark-types. Unfortunately, a lot of Dark-types kinda suck competitively, or are annoying to raise. So I had most of my team squared away and realized I should have a tank, just in case. Mandibuzz fit the bill, so even though I wasn't a huge fan, I used her. And never before have I made such a huge turnaround on a Pokemon. I went into a 6 v 6 Battle. My Weavile got wrecked, my Drapion got wrecked, my Houndoom got wrecked, my Greninja got wrecked, my Sableye got wrecked. All I had left was my Mandibuzz, with very little in the form of offense. But I'm no quitter, so I sent her out. Taunt. Knock Off. Toxic. Taunt. Roost. Repeat. One by one, the opposing team started dropping like flies. And in the end, Mandibuzz swept the entire f***ing team practically by herself. AMAZING performance by an AMAZING and underrated Pokemon that truly deserves better than for this to most likely be her best placement.

Magmortar: Mandibuzz is a fantastic Pokemon, which considering what it evolves from really is an achievement. It makes a very, very, very good wall, and the design is a whole lot less…uhh, yeah; the bone skirt honestly looks kind of cool. And I love turkeys. We need an actual turkey Pokemon so badly but turkey vultures work.

SanityLapse: Vultures are the best birds of all time. Birds of death. This is a bird of death because she likes to do stuff with the bones. Her design COULD be better, but she gets this high for being a vulture.

Paratroopa1: vultures are underrated but still cool

Genny: I like her more than Braviary, come at me folks! I'm sure Karo is going to mention its design as a negative and say some crap along the lines of this is why we shouldn't let westerners design pogeymanz blah blah, but check it: Mandibuzz has an awesome design. You're free to disagree by the way, just know that you're wrong in doing so. British designer James Turner may have dropped the ball with the ice creams and the basic forms of Golurk and Mandibuzz, but he nailed the two that matter. Mandy's design is reminiscent of the vultures from Snow White: Vultures.jpg mixed with something like Beaky the Buzzard's mother from the old Looney Tunes' shorts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na7WqSb6sY0 Tell me I'm wrong. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/00/630Mandibuzz.png Frankly I think it's an ace combination. If I could change one thing about Mandibuzz though it would be sacrificing a lot of her Defenses for Attack. She has like the perfect moveset for an all-out offense but doesn't have the stat distribution to pull it off. This is what keeps her from going any higher.

Anagram: I really feel like an opportunity to give it mandibles was missed.

Natwaf: I forgot how you use this thing, but I'm pretty sure it's a wall.

Cybat: I know they're all female, but does it really need that eyeliner? Unsettling. But yeah, vulture is another no-brainer concept that we hadn't had yet, so here we are.

ctesjbuvf: It’s cool looking, but it was a major disappointment. Waiting all the way to the end to get a flying type and it just sucks so badly, especially compared to its counterpart. I actually changed my in-game team quite a bit because this thing sucked. It’s not terrible, but truly disappoints.

Logicblade: I want to like you, but you evolve too late.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #52. The skirt and eyeshadow... what were they thinking...?

Brayze II: http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/143/5/6/hey_it__s_milly_by_doctordeathdefying-d3h1hi1.jpg

KommunistKoala: I like the idea of a vulture pokemon but this thing is just off-putting to me for some reason.

Raka_Putra: Hey you're not Braviary.

StifledSilence: I gained a little respect for this thing since it has potential in battle. But it's still disturbingly ugly.

Wigs: I could've put this guy fairly higher but….. I can't unsee what it was in its past life.

Wicklebee: What… the… This was what you came up for a vulture? An all female of the streets poke?

One moment a character is exploring Ringworld and using physics to solve his problems, the next moment he's told that the universal greeting is to have sex with different sentient species. What was I talking about again?

Wigs: like Deino but almost twice as good!

Magmortar: It’s Deino WITH TWO HEADS! and Deino is dumb so Zwelious is dumb and amazing (not amazing but you get the point)

ctesjbuvf: Strong and good, but I’m not too fond of middle evolutions. I suppose it looks decent.

StifledSilence: Don't think they won't be any less afraid of you at Octoberfest because you're a German scary dragon.

Cybat: Nice hair, guys. I do like the theme naming for this line but I don't know what the "lous" is for.

Raka_Putra: Yeah, it's pretty good. Looks intimidating already.

Genny: I feel like the two head gimmick has been done way too often, but apparently there was only Doduo before it and Binnacle after? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Logicblade: We will never speak of zweilous. He gets points for being suitably darkfang, but it's kind of scary when he evolves… where does his second brain go?

Natwaf: Be careful with this thing, Hustle on a dragon means a world of HURT

OrangeCrush: Has a better name than Deino, but still very, very bad.

Anagram: One of the few pokemon with a really complicated design where the complicatedness serves a purpose. Thus, I really like Cryogonal.

Magmortar: After it hit me this angry…snowflake, actually looked like a ^_^, I could never take it seriously ever again. But I like the concept behind its stats. Fast rapid spinner with a ton of special bulk but dies to a Caterpie Tackle, intriguing. I’m not expecting many people to like this thing, in fact I don’t even know why I have it this high up.

XIII_Rocks: JIZZING PINECONE

Wigs: cool ('lol') but wannabe Glalie

Brayze II: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/065/1/7/cryogonal_by_elpatrixf-d6x9ldr.png

Cybat: Very interesting stat distribution. But I feel like GameFreak has some kind of fundamental misunderstanding of their own type chart because Ice types are never going to be viable walls, yet they keep trying.

Logicblade: It's just a silly snowflake, but every cryogonal is unique in my heart. And the name is just awesome.

Natwaf: OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU SO RARE? Be careful, this thing is sturdier than it looks. But my favorite part is that it can learn Attract. But it's genderless, which means it's useless (no, it does NOT work against other genderless poke, so stop it)

Inviso: This ranks higher for me because I find the frowny face it makes cute (plus there's so few decent Ice-types overall, and in this generation in particular.

StifledSilence: Mutated snowflakes are a thing now too?

Paratroopa1: best name in gen V, but most horrifying face. except for gothita

ctesjbuvf: This thing is pretty good, but not evolved from or to anything drags it a bit down for me, when it doesn’t really have much going for it to begin with.

Wicklebee: Cry moar bro, I understand the naming… but those spots just… I don't like this design.

Genny: It's a thing that exists. I can't help but feel like a snowflake pokémon could not only be prettier and more elegant, but also better in battle. Seriously those STATS can and should really be redistributed. What's the point of a Special Defensive Ice type anyway? So it can die to two Flamethrowers instead of just one? Bah. Beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

junglebob22: I think Cryogonal's angry face is saying "Why do I exist?"

Raka_Putra: NO, NO! How do you explain this to the kids? "Oh here's a Pokemon shaped like…something, it's like a polygonal…thing, and it's scary and it's crying because it wants something to end its misery. Have fun, kiddo!"

SanityLapse: Bears are alright. Polar bears are generally much cooler than regular bears. But a bear with a giant thing of a snot hanging out of his nose is about as great as bears can possibly get. Look at this little adorable guy with that loooong long snot drip :3. He reminds me of one of the best characters from Zelda Wind Waker: Zill!

Bane_Of_Despair: I'm an absolute sucker for tiny bears (Teddiursa) and even with the unfortunate nose drop he's absolutely adorable

StifledSilence: Aww cute little bear bro has a cold.

Raka_Putra: Who's a good widdle polar bear cub with a runny nose? Yes you are, yes you areeee. I just want to snuggle it until I pass out.

Inviso: It's cute and has snot bubbling from its nose. These two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Anagram: I would put it higher, but the booger really, REALLY bothers me. Even in the anime they have boogers, but sometimes the boogers disappear, and hey, it turns into a really cute, good teddy bear thing.

Magmortar: I’ve seen cuter is all I can say.

Natwaf: Cute NFE Trash

Logicblade: Don't sneeze on me you abomination.

ctesjbuvf: Love the name, but its really boring. The sneezing doesn’t really help it much when it isn’t better.

Genny: I cannot stand the snot. Did you know Cubchoo can move the mucous independently of its body? That's foul. It's like an extra arm. An extra arm made entirely of liquid boogers. Disgusting.

junglebob22: Wipe your damn nose if your trying to be cute

Brayze II: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hu9U-f756fQ/maxresdefault.jpg

Wicklebee: And this one reminds me of the kid in Wind Waker with his snot nose that runs into you. Fuck off kid, getting your shitty snot all over these clothes that I didn't even like at first!

Wigs: this sounds like something jontron might call a generic cute bear thing.

ecksgem: That mucus completely ruins what might otherwise be a cute Pokemon. As it is, Snotbear is not cute.

Paratroopa1: ugh every time I see him and his huge snot bubble it just makes me feel gross, he's straight up uncomfortable to look at

Cybat: I know there is a culture difference here too but I haven't watched nearly enough anime for a perpetual snot bubble to be anything but completely disgusting. Especially when it's animated in 3D. Sorry, you're pretty cute otherwise, but yuck.

Steiner: gross

Ermine: SOOOOO much better than Mienshao.

Inviso: I wish this thing didn't take so damn long to evolve. There's something so weird about having something this adorable in my party until level 50. Still, solid Pokemon even as an NFE.

Genny: Ermine and Drak are completely cuckoo. Mienfoo is cute but Mienshao is so much better in terms of both design and in spirit!

StifledSilence: I got a shiny Mienfoo!

Paratroopa1: &

Wicklebee: I pity the foo' that doesn't pick up this Pokemon (like myself my first time around)

Cybat: As a programmer I have to support anything with "foo" in its name. But I do like this design quite a bit as humanoid Fighting types go. Shame about its evolution though.

Logicblade: I pity the foo. His head is weird looking and the eyebrow things are big misses.

Magmortar: This generation mostly has decent fighting types…but there are exceptions.

ctesjbuvf: It’s decent enough, but sort of boring.

Brayze II: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/123/4/e/mienfoo_gijinka_by_lastboost-d3fis8g.jpg

Suor: DISAPPROVING BIRD! It was about damn time they made a swan pokémon, I love birds and swans are no exception. Of course it couldn't be anything less than awesome. Wish it had better abilities though.

Wicklebee: Our third water-flying FE and the Flying-type I plan to use on my next playthrough, since Braviary is too late.

Magmortar: http://i.imgur.com/FiUmRhd.png

Inviso: MUCH better transportation whore than Pelipper, because I can at least look at Swanna without wanting to punch it in its big stupid face. Very very pretty.

Paratroopa1: does it have boobs, why does it have boobs? birds don't have boobs

Logicblade: Who can forget disapproving bird?

junglebob22: Swanna's got some serious 'tude in its Gen 5 sprite

Genny: I know it's not the greatest thing ever- hell it's barely better than Pelipper, but I like the way it stands akimbo and glares at me. Also my very first user of the move Scald, one I think is pretty neat.

Natwaf: Elegant but oh so very weak. It outsped my Emboar though. Ouch. And it maybe weak, but it still has access to Hydro Pump and Huricane, so kill it fast before it rains.

StifledSilence: I honestly didn't give a crap about this thing until the gauntlets. Disapproving Bird!

XIII_Rocks: DISAPPROVING BIRD! Sadly that is Swanna's sole good point in a gen sorely lacking great water-types.

Cybat: Boring name, boring design, boring abilities, boring stats.

KommunistKoala: Boob swan

Scepter: It's just my mom's swan

Raka_Putra: Oh hey I'm so sassy yes I'm the best design ever ohohoho, Cinderella sweep the floor and collect the lentils

ctesjbuvf: Really generic and quite bad.

Brayze II: http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg7r15zjti1qfkq3ro1_500.jpg

Anagram: I can't recall anyone ever expressing any kind of opinion about Swanna. There's just nothing interesting about it.

BetrayedTangy: This is what I hate the most about Pokemon, some of these Pokemon are just so damn lazy and Swanna is the best example of this. It's just a swan that's all there is to it. This is the largest generation of Pokemon ever, why was it necessary to include this?

Natwaf: Newbie of the Swords of Justice, and my favorite member. Resolute Forme is ridiculous and useless, but I love it. It also has a secret trick up it's sleeve… Secret Sword. AHAHAHAHAHA **** YOU BLISSEY! DIEDIEDIE! So yeah, one of my best Mono-Fighting members. Why no Ice Beam though :(. NEVER FORGET PONY!

PrinceKaro: Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned how to properly allocate EV spreads, and the importance of strong STAB moves with good coverage. Your faithful student, Keldeo.

StifledSilence: I much prefer this one over his trio of buddies. The alternate form with the flamey looking hair is badass too.

Magmortar: My Little Hydronic Killing Machine: Swords That Don’t Give A Fuck About The FUCKING Chansey Line Are Magic

(Editor's Note: Magmortar misspelled Keldeo as Heldeo)

Genny: Cannot unhear Edward Elric. I think it has the worst design of the Musketeer Quartet (yes even below Terrakion)- ugh those eyebrows. Resolute Form is even worse, wherein those ughbrows become a sword-horn for some reason. Sigmund Freud would have a field day with Keldeo. Anyway what gets it this high is being based on d'Artagnan, my favorite character from the novel. Aramis was also great but yeah.

Anagram: Keldeo really does deserve every MLP reference made about it. I hate it from that perspective, but from the perspective of actual design, I can't say it's, like, bad.

Raka_Putra: Shota fighting horse, what's not to like?

Wicklebee: The member of the Swords of Justice with… SECRET SWORD.

XIII_Rocks: Looks like a fucking my little pony

KommunistKoala: Secret Sword. Secret Sword. Secret Sword. I guess this thing is alright maybe.

Cybat: Why did they even bother giving this thing another form? Seriously, it just gets a bigger horn? :sigh: Secret Sword is cool and all, but this design has some issues.

Paratroopa1: you probably think keldeo is a cool ponyhorse thing but did you stop and look at its dumb face and its gross nose? yeah

Suor: After three cool musketeers in Cobalion, Virizon and Terrakion, I can't put to words how unimpressive Keldeo is.

Brayze II: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/231/a/9/catching_an_inflated_keldeo___request_by_boman100-d7vtwvf.jpg

ctesjbuvf: The voice it has probably hurts its placement on my list. It also looks really bad. There could be created something cool with it in the anime I guess, too bad they didn’t manage.

Logicblade: The worst musketeer. Just looks wrong. Like Derpy Hooves but not adorable.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #19. LOOK AT MY BIG HONKIN NOSE EVERYONE. PLEASE WOULD YOU LOOK AT MY NOSE!

Inviso: This thing is a joke. I actually kinda like the Musketeer Trio…and then this thing comes along. It looks stupid and completely out of place alongside the trio, and in fact, it looks like a really bad My Little Pony design (that isn't even good enough to be included in the actual game...it's one of those event Pokemon instead.)

Wigs: very aesthetically pleasing. Is somehow both cute and looks like he kicks ass. Also love the type combo

Suor: Cutest pokémon ever. After Joltik. Case closed.

Anagram: I never watched any 'giant robot' anime as a kid, so any subtleties of this design may be lost on me. Nevertheless, I can say that it's a quality design. Tough but cute is a good way to go with these kinds of things.

Wicklebee: Use Rollout.

Logicblade: I like Gobit as a name much more than Golett. I get the golem puns, but gobit is a cute sounding name.

Magmortar: Awful, but it evolves into Golurk so I’m going to put it above several Pokemon that don’t evolve into Golurk.

Cybat: The lore behind this line is really weird. So an ancient civilization created it and somehow gave it energy to move around? How does that make it a Pokemon and not, like, just a robot?

KommunistKoala: I appreciate the typing. I just appreciate it more with Golurk.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #61.

Raka_Putra: Something that would go for like ¥5,560 in Japan but will cost $800 elsewhere

ctesjbuvf: Cool type combination, but boring design.

StifledSilence: How much food are you going to cram in your golett?

Inviso: Golurk is okay, but Golett just looks fat and pointless. I wish I cared more about it, but I just don't.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Brayze II: literally don't care

Paratroopa1: dumb abstract nonsense

Genny: Sort of reminds me of that unpopular fat kid at school. You know if you stick up for him and then everyone will accuse you of having a crush on him (or a gay crush if applicable), so you never grow the balls required to do so. Children can be so cruel...

OrangeCrush: Adorable deer is adorable

Paratroopa1: it's so comically cute that I kind of think they were parodying cute things on purpose

Raka_Putra: Oh Bambi, I cried so hard when they shot your mother.

Cybat: I totally forgot that seasons were a thing in BW until I saw this Pokemon in the list. Deer Pokemon are pretty cool.

Logicblade: Cute little deer, with four different colours. Deerlings are lovely, and should not be put in teacups.

Inviso: I like the concept of a Pokemon that changes depending on the season…but Sawsbuck is just so far superior in terms of those design changes while Deerling just changes color.

Brayze II: http://37.media.tumblr.com/199427ad1152d2eaef82b3b0b4213170/tumblr_ml2jq5Soqm1qzj4p1o1_r1_400.png

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/273/6/7/sophiia_the_servine__3_by_beta1602-d5gd2w4.png

Cybat: Very solid design as a transition between Snivy and Serperior. It's a shame that this gen has two very good middle starter forms, and then…Pignite. Womp womp.

ctesjbuvf: This thing is cool looking, good in battle as long as you have it, but it’s still a middle form, so no higher than this.

Logicblade: That's definitely a middle pokemon alright.

Wicklebee: Smugleaf's successor, steadily growing unnessecarily.

Raka_Putra: Neither as good as its evo nor pre-evo, but it's still a pleasant enough experience.

Anagram: It's, like, okay. It's hard to imagine a better mid-form grass snake pokemon.

Inviso: Of the 9 starter Pokemon, Servine is definitely a weak link. It's got middle form syndrome in that it evolves into something awesome, FROM something awesome, but is kinda generic itself.

Genny: Like Pignite it's a clear third among its line, but much unlike it, this is simply because the other two members are just plain better, not because it's clearly worse. In other words Servine is good while the others are great. Pignite is mediocre to its okay siblings. I like Servine's leaves the most of its family. Those little stubby limbs are odd though. Definitely looks like a middie.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

KommunistKoala: This thing is lucky it isn't a monkey.

Magmortar: Servine has mostly avoided idiotic memetic reputations, which puts it above Serperior and Snivy. However, due to being related to Serperior and Snivy, Servine is also really, really, REALLY bad. These Pokemon are completely abysmal, and the only reason they aren’t the worst in the whole series is because the Chansey line exists.

StifledSilence: The awkward early teen years before it develops the need to make gaudy fashion statements.

ctesjbuvf: This thing looks so badass. It’s also a pretty decent battler!

Logicblade: This pokemon reeks of trying too hard. Luckily his evolution fixes that, but it comes really late.

Natwaf: Cool NFE Trash

Wigs: reminds me of Turbo from Wreck-It Ralph

Anagram: Not looking like a chess piece was a major missed opportunity.

Genny: I loved its one major appearance in the anime. It was during one of the early tournaments. She was super fierce lol.

Magmortar: It isn’t…anything really

Paratroopa1: why is his name chess-themed when he's not actually chess-themed

StifledSilence: This thing is so dorky. And that's hard to accomplish in a game a lot of people think is dorky.

Suor: Pawniard more like Pwnedhard lel.

Anyway, this was the only Gen V related video I could find in my liked Youtube videos, so here we go:

Wicklebee: I named this poke after my ex's cat.

OrangeCrush: Did you steal a Purrloin from Aspertia City 5 years ago? DID YOU? DON'T LIE, I KNOW YOU DID YOU BASTARD!

StifledSilence: Cute kitty samaaaaaa!

Genny: One episode of the pokémon anime was pretty much all it took to make me love this bad kitty. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the episode I'm talking about, but it involves Ash's Oshawott and Team Rocket's Meowth trying to curry favor with a stray Purrloin. They both go through hell and high water to help "her" so that "she" would love one of them back, only for the little bastard to reveal it was a male all along. O, the chicanery! Instantaneous love. The design is honestly not great. Legitimately do not know which will place higher here, so perhaps mild spoilers for my list: much like Liepard the appearance would be exponentially improved without that outer-eye-inner-ear-blend... thing it has going on. But anime cred alone gets it this far.

SanityLapse: Nice simple cat. This gen is too strong for the cat to rank any higher.

Paratroopa1: apparently there was an episode of the anime with a purrloin that was flirting with meowth and meowth was kind of into it until he found out the purrloin was a guy. amazing

Logicblade: Purrloin might be my favourite cat pokemon. Although it standing on it's hind legs in the anime is really weird.

junglebob22: I liked Purrloin better when it stood on 4 legs

Inviso: This thing is weak as hell in battle, but I'm still glad that it survived Kit's Nuzlocke run, evolved, and managed to hook up with Psyche once she was resurrected.

Brayze II: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/363/4/d/pilfering_purrloin_by_kabukikatze-d4klcoz.jpg

Ermine: standing cat

Natwaf: Cute NFE Trash

Magmortar: When they finally have made a kitten I genuine do not like, you know things are bad. Purrloin isn’t cute or anywhere close and I struggle to find something it is actually good for. My sympathy goes out to anyone who had a Nuzlocke encounter wasted on this thing.

Raka_Putra: Choroneko is just not interesting in any shape or way.

Anagram: I wonder how much eyeshadow the average cat needs. I know they'd never use eyeshadow, of course, but just out of curiosity.

Cybat: Another mean-looking cat. But this one has the added benefit of being pretty impressively terrible ingame, even for an early-game mon.

ctesjbuvf: Quite annoying. The early game didn’t need so much useless stuff.

Raka_Putra: A Pokemon who heals you before you slaughter him to get ALL THE EXPS IN THE WORLD? Yes please! P.S. my friends actually used one in his team.

Drakeryn: So I used not to like this guy much, but I just started playing Pokemon Shuffle and actually he's p cute

Inviso: This thing is pretty useless…except in Gen V where your options for leveling are limited, and so you have to grind these things for hours at a time and they are f***ing LIFESAVERS.

Paratroopa1: it's basically chansey, except instead of being awful, it's appropriately non-awful

junglebob22: After all the EXP I've gotten from Audino, I think I have been conditioned to liking its appearance

OrangeCrush: I don't know why, but giving a good writeup here is taboo

Wicklebee: Here to fix your audio.

Cybat: Cute, but somehow not that visually appealing for me. But of course, I love it when I see these things. Gen 5 had a lot of improvements to the exp system and this was one of the best.

Natwaf: EXP punching bag. Oddly enough, I'm okay with it, despite my INTENSE BURNING HATRED for the other Pink blob healing poke. Weird choice for a Gen V Poke to get a Mega though.

Suor: I like Audino for what it is: a huge bag of exp. It and its Mega evolution try to go for the healer/support gimmick, I appreciate that.

Logicblade: Super EXP slave. He's good for that, but Audino just wants hugs. I would hug audinos all day if I could. :(

Scepter: So kind

Genny: I can honestly say I like Chansey's replacement more than Chansey. It's pretty adorable for one. And for two, pounding it into the pavement is the best method of earning EXP ever. I don't even care if this doesn't ring true anymore. Audino will always be my adorable little punching bag. Oh and the Mega evolution is even more adorable (possibly to excess), plus gains Fairy typing.

Magmortar: This is what the FUCKING CHANSEY LINE should be! Completely useless in battle so you never have to run into like 173 gabizillion of them, dumb looking, and seeming only exists to give you massive amounts of experience. It has everything. Except for being an actually decent Pokemon.

Brayze II: http://i.imgur.com/QxTDdg9.jpg

StifledSilence: Taking the "kill it with kindness" approach to strange new levels.

Wigs: what's all the hubbub about this guy? Why does it have a mega

Anagram: Of all the things that didn't need a mega evolution, Audino is one of them.

Bane_Of_Despair: Just creepy in a bad way

ctesjbuvf: It looks so bad and I don’t get why it exist. Seems completely meaningless and they made it really annoying by being as common in rustling grass as it is.

Logicblade: It's the stupidest pokemon yet. Psyduck done right.

Magmortar: The sprite stares into my soul. Originally much lower, that hilarious look on its face forced me to put it much higher.

Paratroopa1: actually I think he looks sort of stupid but then that kind of comes back around to being charming because that is the way of things (also a bird)

Wicklebee: Quack.

Raka_Putra: Duck, duck, goose. SO MUCH BETTER than that hack Swanna.

Anagram: Garbage, but at least it's not ugly garbage.

StifledSilence: It's cute but Psyduck/Golduck are so much better.

Inviso: Nowhere near as awesome as the ducks from Gen I (all three of them), but okay nonetheless.

Cybat: The first duck since Psyduck is…well…not as memorable.

Genny: How come GF/Nintendo/Satoshi Tajiri likes ducks so much? And how come every one but Psyduck is trolly and annoying? I didn't like Farfetch'd for being a thieving douchebag in that one first season episode, and I don't like the cuter version either.

KommunistKoala: God damn this thing is adorable.

Raka_Putra: Oh man, that's one good looking first stage bird Pokemon.

Anagram: I kind of like the American Indian theme Rufflet is using. Funny that you'd combine it with red, white, and blue, but eh, not everything is going to be perfectly logical.

ctesjbuvf: Cool small bird. Evolves too late though, it ends up being useless.

Magmortar: kind of a doofus looking Pokemon to me

Logicblade: So fluffy! You take too long to evolve though.

Genny: It's cuter than Torchic and Piplup. I suppose that makes it the cutest chick pokémon, but that's all it's got going for it. That and evolving into a BEAST of a bird.

Cybat: Severely outshone by Braviary. Its ruff looks pretty silly.

StifledSilence: Rufflet chips are great with dip.

Inviso: Cute, and it evolves into something badass…but it has the same problem as its female counterpart in that it takes too damn long to evolve without being able to back up its skills.

Brayze II: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/234/a/4/sexy_scraggy_by_tokyomewmew_girl-d47itkd.png

Genny: Solely this high because of fond anime memories. Took me from utter indifference to OMG <3. Sadly Ash's Scraggy kinda became one-note and irrelevant before long and I stopped watching. Did it ever learn more moves? I need to pick up from where I left off some day...

Raka_Putra: So dorky, I love it.

Paratroopa1: I like him a little more than scrafty for some reason, I dunno why

Inviso: I never thought I'd actually like this line, since it looks stupid on paper…but hell, I like most things that are half Fighting-types.

Magmortar: looks a hell of a lot less stupid than Scrafty, so I guess it’s here. Whatever.

Anagram: I want to pull that little knot of hair down and unzip its head.

Cybat: Very impressive that it straddles the line between cute and obnoxious, with its pulling-up-pants animation. Very fun type combination, shame about Fairy though.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

StifledSilence: You Scraggy looking nerf herder!

Suor: Its head is literally a ball with a derpy expression. It doesn't take much imagination to relate the rest of it to an uncut penis too. It's so bad I kind of feel pity for it.

That said, Aria Forme looks better, despite Pirouette being so much better. Fantastic member in my Mono Normal/Psychic team, Grimsley crumbled under Meloetta.

Suor: Everything about Meloetta is wonderful. I love the musical theme, love the awesome pop-singer/dancer design, cool battle gimmick too with the forme switch. One of the best legendaries ever and easily the best in this gen.

SanityLapse: She's got a nice body, nice hair, nice eyes, and a sexy call. I don't want to bang her or anything, but it's worth complimenting anyway.

Wicklebee: I want to dislike this Poke, since she, Victini and Genesect are the main reasons I dislike this Generation (because event legendaries are stupid). But really, an idol with hair that is a music staff? I played in fucking band. This design is just utterly excellent.

OrangeCrush: Miku Hatsune: The Pokemon

Raka_Putra: Classy waltz or passionate flamenco? It's your choice!

Anagram: J-pop idols are a facet of culture about which I have absolutely nothing approaching an understanding. All I know is that Meloetta is not the worst pokemon out there.

Paratroopa1: so yeah, it's the pokemon version of a japanese pop idol, but look! its hair is a musical staff! that can't NOT win me over

Genny: Pirouette > Aria Forme. Fantastic cry. Cool idea to base her off a pop idol. Really dunno why she's "genderless" though.

Cybat: Using a move in battle to change form is a really interesting concept, so I have to give it credit for that. But…I just…what.

StifledSilence: Meloetta jaunty meloetta

ctesjbuvf: Cute. Not really worth much though. Brayze II: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/105/5/d/kaa_entrances_meloetta_by_slydragon413-d3e2mbe.png

Inviso: This doesn't need to exist. It's a weird humanoid Pokemon and it's event exclusive. Not much else to say…it's just unimpressive.

Logicblade: Ehh, this isn't very inspired. So many better music pokemon.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #18. Girl =/= Pokemon. Not QUITE as offensive as Gardevoir but pretty damn close. If this were any other gen she would definitely be bottom 3.

Magmortar: Really, really, really bad. Why do I have to make the thing sing to get a Normal/Fighting-type. This thing is stupid, and is my pick for worst legendary ever. PHIONE is more memorable and doubles as not being furbait.

ctesjbuvf: Decent enough for the time you get to use it. A bit underrated. This whole line is cool.

Paratroopa1: why is wheelie from kirby in this game

Suor: I mean it's a f***ing wheel bug, how cool is that, it can rotate like a wheel at high speeds and OMG IT HAS SPEED BOOST.

Inviso: For a Bug/Poison middle form, Whirlipede actually looks pretty f***ing badass. Like a wheel that's just gonna chase you down and f*** you up.

Magmortar: ROLLER BUG whatever

Raka_Putra: Now that's one terrifying cocoon.

Wicklebee: … GO AWAY COCOON-LIKE THING

ctesjbuvf: In a game that lacks useful water types, Jellicent tops. Male design is clearly better. Strong defensive and able to learn moves of most types makes it really fun to use.

Raka_Putra: Mr. Pringles OR Mrs. Revlon. It's awesome how they look like children drawings. Oh, and the typing is lovely!

Magmortar: PRINGLES (also I was left in stitches after finding out about the Energy Ball Jellicent incident)

XIII_Rocks: Pringles

Wicklebee: Ooh, lovely jellyfish. Have I mentioned that I like the ghosts of this gen? Although I think we could make 4 different jellyfish with different typings and still be right.

Natwaf: Everyone, STOP what you're doing right now and read the Free Somalia Energy Ball Thread in Smogon. I love this one picture of it. XD Stupidest thing ever. Anyway, it's a great pokemon with a unique typing, though Tentacruel looks nastier. Male > Female design wise.

Cybat: Both forms are pretty goofy looking, especially for a Ghost type. But it's always fun to get new type combinations, and its type chart synergy with Ferrothorn makes it potentially pretty dangerous.

Anagram: The thickest mustache in pokemon history, easily beating even Stoutland.

junglebob22: Pringle man is cool, but the pink one is a little horrifying

PrinceKaro: Once you pop the fun don't stop.

StifledSilence: The Pringles Pokemon!

Genny: Male Jellicent's Pringle man stache is glorious but female Jellicent is the worst. Uuuugh I have to place it this low because half the team is quite ugh. Let's talk about Water/Ghost as a typing though: fucking brilliant. What better pokémon to bestow this typing upon than a jellyfish?

Logicblade: Love the typing, but you're basically tentacruel.

Inviso: I WANT to like this thing because Ghost-types have a lot of potential to be cool. But it's just so bloated and ugly that I can't.

Wigs: the male one is kind of okay and funny looking but the female one is awful

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #22. You know what. I just really don't like this pokemon.

Paratroopa1: I stand corrected about frillish either. they found a grosser face to put on a jellyfish

Wicklebee: Such a cute puppy. I really liked this poke but feared what he'd grow into.

StifledSilence: Cute puppy samaaaaaa!

Magmortar: Although it was useful for a while, I can’t say I really like the design.

Inviso: Cute enough, but aside from Riolu and Electrike, this is one of the lesser first-form dogs in all six generations.

Logicblade: His head is waaaay to big. It's distracting.

Genny: The inferior Puppy Pokémon to be sure, but still a cute lil' guy. D'aww lookit dat kwoot face, but guy's got a game face too: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/c/c2/Lenora_Lillipup.png/250px-Lenora_Lillipup.png See? He will fuck you up! BTW Yorkies are cute but this only reminds me that we need a Husky pokémon that evolves into a wolf. And a Chihuahua <333

Anagram: "You know what we need? Another dog pokemon. It's been too long since we had one."

Natwaf: Cheren's was kinda annoying. But that makes it all the more memorable

Cybat: Who's a good doggy? You are! (If you have Pickup)

ctesjbuvf: Really cute, but just another lame normal type Pokemon.

Raka_Putra: Nyeh, boring brown normal dog.

Inviso: I don't think a lot of people like this, but I personally enjoy it (as I do with a surprising number of Grass-types this generation). It just wants to knit sweaters and feed sugar-free cookies to the elderly. Isn't that nice?

Suor: Cool unique typing, gotta love that it makes dresses for everyone out of leaves. A true artist.

KommunistKoala: Probably "on my team" bias, but I like Leavanny. Not a lot to say about it but I enjoy it.

Paratroopa1: sewaddle on stilts

Raka_Putra: It's like a bug got into modeling.

Wicklebee: It's strange, I really like this Poke for some unknown reason, but hate his prevo forms.

Logicblade: Bug type, super tolerable, but the bug grass combo has some nasty weaknesses.

Natwaf: Love love LOVE it's looks, and Leaf Blade + … uhhh… I want to say X-Scissor? Are just neat. Horrible, HORRIBLE movepool for an attacking poke though.

Cybat: Almost more of a trivia note than anything else, being the most forgettable Pokemon that evolves with high friendship. But it's pretty solid ingame; Bug is generally a pretty useful attacking type to have. Kinda cute too.

Brayze II: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/163/7/1/cm__leavanny_and_gardenia_by_ambipucca-d536r74.png

ctesjbuvf: Actually not bad for a grass type. I like the design.

Genny: Bah friendship evolutions! At least it makes sense in this case. My thing is... is it really worth it for a Bug/Grass type? Frankly I'm iffy on that. Leavanny learns a variety of STAB moves and has nice evenly-distributed stats, but therein lies the issue. Because it doesn't excel in anything in particular, it doesn't have its own niche. And with the variety of excellent Bug and Grass types available in this generation, by the time you finally evolve that Swadloon your new Leavanny will be obsolete. Which is truly a shame because it's adorable and I want it to be as useful as it is cute but it's really not outside of early game so here it falls.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #55. I'm a pretty bug lady!

Anagram: In the anime, it sounds like an elderly nanny. I've heard dumber voices given to pokemon, but it's still noticeably weird.

StifledSilence: Sometimes I think they try to force Rule 34.

Magmortar: this generation may be terrible, but at least except for this thing and Meleotta, it is (relatively) low on furbait. As you can see, Leavanny is not a redeemable Pokemon.

Inviso: By all rights, Liepard SHOULD be pure and utter furry bait. But something about the purple/yellow coloration, and the fact that it's weak as hell…it just isn't amazing to me.

Suor: It has a very distinctive cry, and a sleek feline is always cool.

Paratroopa1: sure, pokemon needs more cats, gotta keep up with the number of foxes it has

Raka_Putra: I don't know, it's just too boring for me in the era of greatness.

Wicklebee: She laughed when Skittz turned into a leopard.

Logicblade: Ha do you get it, because Dark types lie! Hahahaha BOOOOO THIS MAN!

Natwaf: I love how sleek it looks, but that's it.

Cybat: Prankster is such a hilarious ability. And this thing has a very well-done smug design and a great name and color scheme. Unusual to have an early feline Pokemon be good.

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/148/2/9/pokemorph_picnic__alt__version__by_pythos_cheetah-d66zaja.jpg

Scepter: Unusably weak, even in game

ctesjbuvf: Actually a decent Pokemon, but the game has so many of them, that it gets really annoying.

Genny: I hate pieces of its design, mainly the fact that its eyelids bleed into its inner ears. Call it a mask all you want, Bulbapedia; it's definitely eye-ears. Despite the butterface, it's design is awesome. But awesome designs can only get you so far when your moveset is dreck and you kinda tank in battle. Uuugh why can't you be more usable Liepard?

Ermine: Horrid color pattern

Anagram: I immediately wrote this thing's competitive viability off when Gen 5 began. I turned out to be totally wrong.

StifledSilence: This is not a cute kitty.

Magmortar: Liepard was a bad Klefki before Klefki existed so I guess it has that

Bane_Of_Despair: The only Dragon in this generation I really care about, gargoyle-esque to boot

Suor: Nobody loves Druddigon enough but I like it a lot, it is quite unique both in appearance and battle compared to other dragons. Not to mention its excellent, tropical-looking shiny form.

Steiner: this goofy little thing

StifledSilence: I named him Dudders.

Cybat: He's kind of ridiculous looking. But I really like both of his color schemes (normal and shiny) and, yknow, dragon.

Magmortar: It sounds like a good name for a black metal band. And it’s a slow and mostly useless Dragon. Druddigon…is something, alright. I do not hate it, but it needs to be banned.

Paratroopa1: pretty cool dragon even though his face looks like the result of a PETA protest

Natwaf: The other Mono Dragon, now if only it was Rock/Dragon or something. It… uhh… well, the coloring makes it look sort of cut and paste. Stats wise more defensive than Haxorus. Watch out for the Rough Skin. But eh, why go for this when you already have access to Haxorus?

Wicklebee: I liked his look, but was sad he never evolves.

Brayze II: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/092/6/d/pez_the_druddigon_by_pdxyz-d3d1njm.png

ctesjbuvf: Super cool dragon, but it’s about as stereotypic as it gets and lacks an evolution family.

Anagram: It's still weird to me that this isn't dragon/rock. It wouldn't be very good, just like Tyrantrum, but Druddigon is, like, made of rocks!

Logicblade: Druddigon looks like the top half of his head is missing. That's pretty terrible.

Genny: How Game Freak managed to make a meh dragon is beyond me, but a dragon is still a goddamn dragon even when meh. The vestigial wings are a nice touch though. It's about time we got a non-Flying Dragon that is assuredly a dragon and not like a land shark or sommat. I would have made the first land dragon a velociraptor though.

Raka_Putra: Also known by its popular name, Play-Dohragon.

Inviso: This thing is f***ing ugly, and something bothers me about having a final form Dragon that just shows up in long grass before you even beat the seventh gym. Seems lazy.

KommunistKoala: Kind of ugly and a mediocre dragon.

Ermine: Herdier has jumped quite a bit for me. He's surrounded by his pre and final evo being kind of not really good at all but he himself is pretty great. Simple yet cute design for a middle form dog and I think he's going to be very underrated here. This is one of the few cases where I think they designed a Gen 5 poke pretty much perfectly, they didn't try to do too much like they did for many MANY pokes in this Gen and Herdier is one of the few shining gems that I've found to appreciate. Also his paws have dark blue paw pads. That's awesome~

Bane_Of_Despair: The most basic "dog"-type Pokemon that just works, like an old man

Magmortar: one of the few middle forms, especially from this generation, I enjoy a lot. Scottish terriers!

Inviso: One of the rare instances where the middle form is the best in the line, I wish Stoutland took Herdier's design and made it look more fierce and streamlined, rather than bulky and fat.

Genny: This is one step away from being just a cartoonish drawing of a dog and not a pokémon at all. For some people that might make it seem the worst of its line, but for me it's just the opposite. Real world dogs are great, one of my favorite animals in fact. You know what makes them especially great? Mustaches. I love Scotties, I love Schnauzers. Dogs with mustaches pwn. Ya go my Herdier!

StifledSilence: He's much better than a herd. You might say he's…herdier!

Logicblade: I love this doggy line, but he defintely feels not quite there.

Wicklebee: Says herd, where are the rest of ya?

Raka_Putra: Oh God, this is so boring.

Anagram: Why does it look like it's wearing some kind of cloak?

Cybat: Cute but its cape is a little weird-looking. Also I just noticed it sorta has the Fire Blast character on its face.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Brayze II: http://www.smackjeeves.com/images/uploaded/comics/4/d/4dcbff3f7pDG3.png

BetrayedTangy: While playing through Pokemon Y, I had decided to add some Gen 5 Pokemon to my team and Ferrothorn along with my number 3 became part of my team. As such, he's obviously going to rank high, but what lands him a spot at Number 2, is how he was the underdog of my team. He was constantly ridiculed by my best friend/ex girlfriend as a Ferroseed until he evolved and constantly wrecked her team, much to her frustration.

Cybat: Woohoo, they finally made a Grass Pokemon that is useful.

Inviso: I raised one of these things to use as a tank, and it's a pretty damn solid tnak, as long as you're not facing a Fire-type. Even then, you can probably get one turn in to set up spikes or stealth rock or whatever before needing to switch out.

ctesjbuvf: Giving grass a smaller amount of weaknesses is great. And point for being usable grass that isn’t a starter. But grass is still grass. It’s not that great to user either, which grass can be.

KommunistKoala: An incredible wall. The grass UFO looked cool to me from the beginning. I'm more of a hyper offense kind of guy so he annoys me in a competitive sense but eh

Magmortar: One of those Pokemon that is very fun to use but incredibly annoying to deal with if the opponent has one. Grass/Steel is a lot better of a typing than I would have thought.

Wicklebee: The Forest temple boss of the next Zelda game. Must be defeated by cutting his tentacle things with the boomerang and then KILL IT WITH FIRE. Ahaha~

Logicblade: He's high because I liked battling with him. I don't particularly like his design, but his typing is neat.

Natwaf: Ferrothorn is neat. Unique typing (can't believe there are so many Bug/Steel), and it ****s contact move users so bad.

Brayze II: http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/191/0/1/ferrothorn_girl_by_nethilia-d3lknls.jpg

XIII_Rocks: Fuck stall

Paratroopa1: I got bored in these writeups so I just made one of my writeups an ampersand. I wonder if people will notice

Suor: The complex world of an iron uterus.

StifledSilence: Guys, the infection is spreading!

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #60.

Raka_Putra: I can't decide who's uglier in this line, they are both irreedemable. I hate them so much. Sorry for their fans, but really? I mean, if you're visually impaired, I guess I can understand it.

Genny: Everyone else sees a floating uterus, but I see more two kidneys and a bladder, with an extra transplanted in. It's not a good thing, resembling parts of the excretory system... Anyway the concept of a sentient plant that flails its thorny steel appendages around like battle maces is actually a cool one, and its design isn't bad. I just... I dunno. I guess I faced one too many of these and it kinda turned me off.

Anagram: Ferrothorn is really ugly, but is also really, REALLY good. I played competitively shortly after Gen 5 came out, and Ferrothorn was legitimately in the top five things I saw by how overused. It's probably better than Jirachi, but that's about all I can say in its defense.

Magmortar: okay I know some of you people are going to be dumb and rank this like 143rd or something and be terrible ***editor's note: Karo lol***but WAAAAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE AFRO BULL is not one to be taken lightly. Bouffalant is literally a buffalo (but I call it a bull) with an afro. Afros are awesome, buffalos (and bulls) are awesome, combine the two, add some bling for good measure, and you get this FUCKING BOSS of a Pokemon. What does your favorite Pokemon do if it sees a train? Just sit aside, watch the ride and eat grass? AFRO BULL is not a wimp like that, because instead of just watching it drive to Chicago, AFRO BULL uses its signature move, called AFRO BREAK (which is basically a better Double-edge, which is already a manly attack) on the fucker and SENDS THE TRAIN FLYING INTO YOUR FACE. Allow me to repeat, A TRAIN IS GOING TO FLY INTO YOU BECAUSE IT THOUGHT IT COULD TAKE ON AFRO BULL. And when it’s done, it steps on the grass, gets an Attack boost thanks to Sap Sipper (and with 115 base, this is going to get ugly), and just kills your inferior afro-lacking race Pokemon dead with not only AFRO BREAK, but Earthquake (for those pesky Steel-types), Wild Charge, Stone Edge, Megahorn (an attack also used by manly mons such as RHYPERIOR (seriously do you guys suddenly hate ARM CANNONS) and Nidoking) and other manly attacks. All while taking YOUR attacks nicely with 95/95/95 bulk. Bouffalant is the manliest Pokemon of all time. ... In short, Bouffalant is better than you and your pathetic excuse for a favorite Pokemon, which knowing you, is probably something in the Snivy line.

Wigs: AFRO

StifledSilence: 70's Tauros who strangely isn't in the same evolutionary family despite LOOK AT HIM DAMMIT JEEZ

junglebob22: I would've named it Buffafro

OrangeCrush: This guy would've been forgettable and generic, if he wasn't AFROBULL

Logicblade: It's a buffalo with an afro. I don't care about anything else.

Natwaf: I don't see the Tauros evo in this thing. Afro-Tauros plays differently to the previous King of Gen 1 (not counting Mewtwo), bulkier but slower. Head Charge is neat in that it has a lower recoil compared to Double Edge, but it's still recoil.

Anagram: I've never used a Bouffalant, and to this day, the thing I remember best about it is /vp/ arguing about whether or not it was going to be a Tauros evolution.

Paratroopa1: this is VERY racist, by depicting a buffalo they are co-opting native american culture

Brayze II: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/026/2/d/bouffalant_pun_by_pirate_sengen-d4noifg.png

Ermine: Afro bull.

Inviso: If it wasn't for the afro, this thing would be completely pointless. Why didn't they just make it a Tauros evolution for Gen VI or something?

Genny: Why aren't you named Buffro?

Drakeryn: Did we really need Tauros with an afro? No. We don't need anything with an afro.

ctesjbuvf: Why create another bull. Seems pointless.

Cybat: OK I can understand making a Zubat knockoff, and a Geodude knockoff, and a Machop knockoff. But a Tauros knockoff? Why?!

Raka_Putra: Hahahaha, yeah, afros are so funny guise XFD lol win!!

PrinceKaro: Did we really need Tauros with an afro? Did we really need a new move that is identical in every single way to Double-Edge? No, no we did not.

Wicklebee: Really afro bull? Really? Should have evolved from Tauros.

Brayze II: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/163/4/e/companion_crustle_by_heartwrrr-d53a26r.png

Inviso: I will give this generation a ton of credit, it managed to make quite a few Bug-types that are pretty awesome, and Crustle's pretty strong when having that Rock-typing to make it somewhat defensive too.

Cybat: This guy looks like a Banjo-Kazooie character. That is in no way a bad thing.

Logicblade: Pebbles for Dwebble and Castles for Crustle!

Anagram: Imagine being a kid, and you're tired and need to rest, and you sit down on a nearby rock. Then you hear a terrible scream and the crunching of an exoskeleton, and you're traumatized for the rest of your life.

Raka_Putra: Amazing, amazing design. I love it so much. Genius idea.

Paratroopa1: I like that instead of a shell he's just got a big fuck off box

Natwaf: Bug rock is very useful offensively, and dat Sturdy. It's also got Shell Smash, though it'll probably still be outsped.

StifledSilence: The Crusty Crab.

ctesjbuvf: Unique type combination, but not fun to use. Its shell is sort of amusing.

Genny: I wanted to like this, but it kind of takes everything that was great about Dwebble and negates it. And for what, better STATS? Lol as if I'm in need of a Bug/Rock type pokémon for competitive use!

Magmortar: …it seems okay I gue-it’s gen 5 OF COURSE IT ISN’T

Wicklebee: Please, crush yourself with that rock already.

Natwaf: I love this thing. Don't let it's punk look fool you, this defensive Dark/Fighting can make your life miserable and has a few sets. It could be full on defensive, or it might be setting up Dragon Dances, and It has access to Drain Punch. Definitely earned it's place in my Mono-Fighting Team. The E4 never knew what hit it.

ctesjbuvf: Interesting type combination, even though it got a solid weakness next gen. That said, the something about the in-game experience lacked something for me.

Logicblade: Lacks the appeal of Scraggy, but he's got mad kicks.

Raka_Putra: Amazing typing and ability. It looks rather derpy but not as lovably derpy as its pre-evo.

Inviso: This is the Michelle Rodriguez of Pokemon. It'll kick your ass several times over, put on a white tank top, continue kicking your ass, and then sacrifice itself to allow the rest of your team to dominate.

Paratroopa1: ...wait, is this japan's version of an american stereotype?

Cybat: I used one of these in BW; I really like its stats and diverse movepool that can let it play different roles. But I really do not like its design. It looks like such a tool.

StifledSilence: S rank crafty?

Genny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGMY_SGFEB4

Anagram: Scrafty, it's not that hard to buy adequately-sized pants. I can give you the addresses of multiple stores, or just go to a Target. It's really not that difficult, I swear!

Magmortar: easily one of the most overrated Pokemon ever. About the only thing about it I find notable is the typing, and that’s wasted.

Wicklebee: I SAID TIGHTER PANTS!

Suor: ...because if you keep doing drugs, you might end up looking like Scrafty: mentally challenged and completely unaware of what a belt is.

OrangeCrush: He looks like a wife beater

Cybat: Man what a bad name. But even so, as soon as I saw this thing I knew I had to use one. It's just so goofy and over the top that it works somehow. It's a shame you can't really use it ingame since you have to trade for it though.

Magmortar: NINJA. This fast thing is really fast and that makes it an alright suicide lead, definitely one I had fun using.

Wicklebee: I love the evolution way for Cavalier and Al Gore, makes them obvious rivals. But this guy should be Bug-Ghost :|

ctesjbuvf: This looks amazing and I like the name. Not much fun to use, nor is it appealing to.

Suor: Good to see at least something in the whole “Trade Shelmet for Karrablast” debacle wasn't a disaster.

Genny: Why would this thing steal Greninja's signature move? It's not a Water-type, hell it's not even a ninja! Makes zero sense. I could see giving Water Shuriken to Ninjask maybe or uh *insert really fast Water/Poison/Fighting type here* but Accelgor? That kind of pisses me off enough to lower it a few spots. You dun goofed GF.

Natwaf: Assassin! Not sure if Unburden is useful or not, I mean, it's already fast. Does it really need to be blazing? I don't seem to remember it hitting hard with anything, except with a gem boost.

Raka_Putra: Cool ninja rider thing…

Brayze II: http://33.media.tumblr.com/80f132e16860af0dc6c2359aaa916280/tumblr_n5u7x17vuM1s2i16to1_1280.jpg

Anagram: Remember when Electrode was the fastest pokemon around? I liked that about it. Now all it has is being the roundest.

StifledSilence: It's like a Trojan soldier except not because it's a crappy Pokemon.

Paratroopa1: why does he have like weird nub arms

Logicblade: It's a bug ninja. And I don't care. Also it's weird that it evolves from Shelmet and not Karrablast. Pokemon is weird.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #44. It's Al Gore! Isn't that funny everyone?

Inviso: This thing will rank high, but I just don't care about it. It's a fast, pure Bug-type, yet it has never inspired feelings in me (especially since there's so many good final form Bugs this generation).

Wicklebee: Like many others, I love the Ganonpork name and treating him like he's Ganon. Rest of his like can wash down the drain though.

Scepter: Alright, so I hated this abomination of a design as much as everyone else when it was first revealed, but when I finally gave him a chance in game he was such a bro. Still a terrible design and "muh fire fighting," but amazing stats and movepool. Bro tier.

Raka_Putra: GANONbanned

Brayze II: http://i.imgur.com/uCmbA.jpg

Natwaf: I… actually like this dude the most out of all the starters. Ganon's dependence on attacks that also hurt him should have made me say no… but it works. But ugh, did we do NOT need a 3rd Fire/Fighting starter. At least it has Cho Hakkai has it's own niche. In my Mono-Fighting playthrough in White 2, he has never been dead weight throughout the game... well, other than Skyla and her Swanna.

Wigs: worst of his line but still pretty good

Magmortar: The only half-decent starter thing to come out of this generation. It still looks like Ganondorf (or Demise or whatever) and unlike Blaziken and Infernape, it can sometimes take a hit. Yeah it’s slow, but if it hits you ooooooooooooooooh boy. And it learns Scald for some reason, what the heck.

Suor: GANONDORF!!!

Inviso: I'm glad to see that Emboar is getting less hate nowadays (though it sucks that the hate has transferred over to Serperior). I used to think this was dumb, but then I actually used one, and it wound up being pretty cool. I just gets outclassed by the other two Fire/Fighting-types.

OrangeCrush: I didn't like him at first, but in retrospect his design is kinda cool. I also respect Gamefreak's dedication to trolling the fanbase with 3 Fire/Fighting starters in a row.

Logicblade: I love the puns for this line. The pokemon, not as much. It does kind of look like Ganon though.

StifledSilence: Oh good lord this thing is ugly. Yeesh. Also, Fire/Steel or Fire/Dark would have made more sense.

Ermine: HERDIER

Genny: *belches* That's my writeup.

ctesjbuvf: This is of course a fine Pokemon, but the disappointment it was as a starter drags it down. It’s somewhat different to other starters, but I don’t like it. It wasn’t fun to use and it’s ugly

Paratroopa1: emboar more like emBORE god i'm tired

Cybat: There have been (so, so) many strange decisions that GameFreak has made over the past 20 or so years. Having three Fire/Fighting starters in a row should definitely be near the top of that list.

Anagram: I expect I'll have Emboar the lowest of anyone. Everything about it offends me. It destroys all of the good will Tepig created, but more than that, it is the defintion of 'overdesigned.' I don't like using that word, but its eyebrows, shoulder beard, and those stupid swirls on its torso utterly ruin it.

Steiner: the generation that ruined starters for me lands its finest work. everything about it is hideous and i never wanted to see my fire starter get fighting as a secondary type again already. all around awful.

ctesjbuvf: No weaknesses as long as its ability is intact. Great in battle to begin with.

XIII_Rocks: Eelektross is such a dark horse. Galvantula is the preferred electric-type in this gen and I get it but for me Eelektross is the superior of the two. I dislike its Gen VI model, but I otherwise greatly enjoy using it even if it is a bitch to attain because of how weak Eelektrik and Tynamo are.

junglebob22: Sableye and Spiritomb have fallen, but Eelektross remains as the No-weakness king! Its Gen 6 model kinda suck though

Genny: Eels are awesome and delicious. With the advent of that blasted Fairy typing this line is now the only line with zero weaknesses. While I feel for Sableye (screw you, Spiriturd), that's kind of boss. Speaking of boss, it's fantastic in battle. Not just because of its stats and natural learnset, but because of the huge variety of TMs it can learn to become quite the versatile fighter. Even I'm not completely sure how it can learn some of the ones it has no business being able to, but I ain't complainin'.

Ermine: I love how his face is adorable. For a giant eel monster, I think it's hilarious. I love his fin feets as well. Very cool design for the final form and I'd like to use one sometime :)

Paratroopa1: I like both versions of eelektross - the X/Y one that floats around and is animated like you would expect an eel to be, and the B/W one that hops around on its tiny fins like feet and looks like a fucking idiot

Natwaf: I ****ing love this thing. NO WEAK! In fact, immunity to ground. It can hit from both ends of the spectrum, and has loads of options to work with. And it looks cool.

Brayze II: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/225/4/8/mella_kavanagh_the_eelektross_by_ryuukiba-d6hzjh9.jpg

Cybat: He is a huge improvement over the rest of his line, which doesn't happen often. Having no weaknesses and a pretty sick movepool is pretty delightful; shame about that Speed stat but it's worth it to try to make him work.

Inviso: No weaknesses is pretty cool, especially since Sableye/Spiritomb has weaknesses to Fairy-types now. And it's really not that bad looking either. Kinda creepy is all.

Wicklebee: Oh cool an electric eel… and because he has levitate he has no weaknesses? Why? Seriously they haven't balance Electric after all this time? Even two other guys now are 2X hit by Fairies… but this guy? Lol nope gotta bring Gravity and burn a turn :/ Still looks cool.

Logicblade: Only this high solely for being an electric type with levitate. That's cool, he isn't.

Magmortar: Simply put, Eelektross is an abomination, which is a real shame as otherwise I have no other problems with it.

Anagram: "Eels are known for their excess of arms."

Raka_Putra: Mmm unagi, delicious, savory, and has a good chew to it.

StifledSilence: I'd hesitate to eat sushi made from this thing.

Ermine: I Love Archen. http://puu.sh/gRUKh/5b28749206.jpg . Just look at that swag. Archen's design is just so perfect for me. I love his colors so much. What a fantastic pokemon. Don't expect him to do well at all but that's fine. Archen doesn't care what you think, he's still a complete boss ;)

Paratroopa1: a dinosaur with feathers on it? whoa, what a cool and clever concept! I never would have thought of I'm sorry, dinosaurs have WHAT now

ecksgem: I prefer Archeops, but Archen is still adorable.

Anagram: Archen's eye is open so much that it can't help but look surprised at everything, including things it's very familiar with.

Brayze II: looks like nobody thinks archen is sexy

Wicklebee: Probably my favorite first tier of the fossil Pokemon.

StifledSilence: Polly want a fossil!

Logicblade: Archen was a fun pokemon to battle with, it was OHKO or nothing with him most of the time though.

Raka_Putra: It's like nobody wanted to have him, but fossil Pokemon are traditionally two-stage so…yeah…

Genny: Even with all the fanart of it Ermine posted, I never actually got the appeal of Archen until I drew one myself: http://i.imgur.com/XsLEMGN.jpg. Sometimes it just works that way. Anyway it's a cute little guy, but Tirtouga is way better.

Whiskey Nick: He can count by twos and tie his shoes. He can even give Ermine a hug and smile the whole time

ctesjbuvf: Looks interesting. A flying type fossil is cool.

Cybat: Looks less fossil-ish and more colorful than the others. I do enjoy that its Pokedex entries say that it couldn't fly and sure enough it can't learn it. (Archeops can though)

Magmortar: NFE Trash

Natwaf: NFE Trash

Inviso: Sorry Ermine, but Archen is hideous and his ability makes him even worse. At least when he evolves, he looks kinda cool, but the first form…not so much.

BetrayedTangy: Me liking Fraxure is kinda weird, not too long ago there was this fanfic I was reading, which was basically a Total Drama and Pokemon crossover. Fraxure was a really cool, reserved guy who just kinda stood back and chilled. Until things got weird when he evolved and got super sexual with a Tyranitar....

Genny: I don't know. I'll probably feel differently tomorrow, but Fraxure has my favorite design of its line and I can't quite explain why beyond the obvious middie love. Note: favorite design is not synonymous with highest ranking. It also has the indisputably best shiny coloration of its line. I know some people are gonna say "NUH-UH BLACK HAX," but frankly the gold-plated dragon is cooler than the black dragon thing- which has been done before, in this generation even. Fraxure's official art is kinda derp lol.

Logicblade: It's nice that this gen had more than one dragon line. I like dragons.

Raka_Putra: Stout powerhouse. Already fully usable even before fully evolved. Good middle Pokemon.

Ermine: HERDIER

Cybat: Its tusks are a little silly looking, and also don't look all that axe-like. But I like the color scheme and name.

ctesjbuvf: Good Pokemon, almost a powerhouse already. Still, middle evolutions will never be at the top.

Anagram: I wish it had an additional axe mustache thing so it could imitate a biplane. I would use the **** out of a biplane pokemon.

Paratroopa1: this is novel: a middle evo that isn't nearly as cool as its first or last stages

StifledSilence: He only suffered a minor fraxure.

Natwaf: Cool NFE Trash

Magmortar: Better than Haxorus, but that’s not an achievement.

Inviso: I'll give it credit for looking less stupid and generic than Gabite did as a middle form, but it's still nothing special, and it's kinda forgettable.

Wicklebee: This guy's name rocks, I just wish he had like a bone sticking through him rather than… airplane wings…

Logicblade: OMG cute doggie. I don't need to say more, do I?

Raka_Putra: Good HM slave, but the design is too bulky and hairy to me.

Magmortar: Stoutland is a thing you get really early on that is actually worth taking into the endgame, which is a pretty big deal to me. And look at that ****ING HAIR.

KommunistKoala: What majestic facial hair. Brings manly tears to my eyes.

Anagram: "Phil, make a pokemon with the highest mustache:body ratio possible."

Natwaf: I like this early pokemon. He's s got ele-fang options, and even vanilla, he's great. Forgot what he did in my Mono-Normal E4 team, though I think it's pretty much RETURNRETURNRETURN

StifledSilence: They aren't shitting around with him being stout. Good grief.

Whiskey Nick: please, i'm Ermine

Genny: Honestly doesn't have much going for it beyond epic mustache of epicness. I guess that's all some people need though.

Ermine: Stoutland is kind of a huge disappointment since HERDIER was so great. :(

Cybat: What even needs to be said about this thing? It doesn't even matter that its name is disappointingly not a dog pun or that its Sand Rush ability makes no sense since it can't learn Sandstorm. MOUSTACHE.

ctesjbuvf: Another normal type powerhouse. I generally find pure normal types to be a bit boring, and this one is not really that unique. It’s useful though!

Inviso: I WANT to like this line more than I do, but Stoutland is just so bulky and stupid compared to the more badass dogs of generations past (pretty much every previous dog, actually).

Wicklebee: Uh. Worst Stache NA.

Bane_Of_Despair: Chinchilla's are amazing, and so is this little dude

Paratroopa1: so much better than all the other generic rodents that you can't tell the difference between, take my word for it, minccino is the best

Genny: I <3 chinchillas. They are the softest thing ever in existence. I urge you to head to your local exotic pet store and ask to hold one. It's one of the best feelings you can imagine. Minccino is this high simply because it's an adorable chinchilla pokémon.

SanityLapse: Chinchillas are basically the best rodent.

Ermine: Kinda cute but eh, not quite my thing.

Brayze II: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/153/7/4/inflated_minccino_by_selphy6-d3hu7vm.png

Raka_Putra: See my write-up for Archen, but Minccino is kinda cute. Far too similar to Cinccino though.

Magmortar: One my friends hate this thing, a lot, and on this RP we used to do, in a safari zone he ran into it and it gave him total fits. For some reason, that incident is hilarious to me, and puts Mincinno to almost decent territory. But not.

StifledSilence: A cute furry rodent.

Anagram: I traded an ability capsule for a shiny modest Minccino with really awful stats. I'm not sure who got the better end of that deal.

Inviso: This thing is far cuter than Cinccino because at least it's not overdesigned. It's not particularly special (though it has ruined Nuzlocke runs in the past. Still, decent enough.

Natwaf: ADORABLE! Still NFE Trash

Logicblade: Never used, but I concede that's a little cute.

Cybat: Chinchillas are cool.

Wicklebee: Okay, boring. Just another Normal-type animal.

ctesjbuvf: It’s incredibly boring and not really that cute.

Suor: The most generic cute pokémon ever, I really fail to understand what people like about this.

Cybat: One of the few middle forms who are arguably just as imposing as their successors. This guy is just so perfectly spooky and menacing that I knew I was going to use him no matter what he evolved into.

Ermine: ~LAMPY~

Genny: Lampent just makes me smile in a way no other member of its line can, so of course it will rank the lowest. This planet... Anyhoo, I love its cry (literally a "squee"), and I love its little hat. I might just be misremembering but I could swear I've seen it move its lampshade, using it to douse its flame. Regardless it is adorable and I tip my hat to you, Lampent! Godspeed.

Paratroopa1: I dunno why but I just kinda like him more than chandelure

Inviso: Middle evolution syndrome for sure, but it's so great it still ranks highly. I played one of these in an ORG and basically used the chance to RP as a b****y teenager. That was fun.

Anagram: Do you think a Lampent would let you attach it to a streetlight to keep everything well lit? There are pokemon I imagine as having that kind of patience, but this surely seems like one without it.

ctesjbuvf: The most boring looking of the lamps, but still pretty cool looking.

Logicblade: Fun fact… lampent is not an Ent.

StifledSilence: Oh I get it because the creators of most of the Gen 5 Pokemon need to burn their eyes out with a lamp to repent their sins.

Magmortar: Lampent is mostly terrible, and I just want a damn Chandelure.

Natwaf: Creepy (in a good way) NFE Trash

Wicklebee: I'm not too fond of the line until it finishes.

Raka_Putra: A meh middle stage.

Wicklebee: I've always adored knights, what can I say?

Bane_Of_Despair: Love the lances this guy has, he's ready for battle

Cybat: Fun name that is unfortunately a little unwieldy, but yeah this guy is hilarious. I like how the Pokedex says "They fly around at high speed, striking with their pointed spears. " but they are tied for the lowest base speed stat for any evolved Pokemon.

Ermine: So I just want to take a moment to explain what went down with Escavalier with me. Originally he was probably going to be down around the uh... 85ish or lower range but I decided to give Escavalier a bit of my time to really understand his design and honestly, it's grown a ton on me. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/f8/Escavalier_anime.png/800px-Escavalier_anime.png When I look past his hard steel exterior I can see the adorable little buggy inside who is also a badass. This in turn makes me appreciate the rest of his design, and now, even as I type this write up up, he's in 27th place. I'm now going to have to move him up after gushing over him a bit. Woops.

Brayze II: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/226/c/b/project_moemon__escavalier_by_xxd17-d46kfmm.jpg

ctesjbuvf: Not too good, but bonus points for its great name!

Magmortar: whatever, knights are cool and so is massive attack stats but this guy isn’t really that much of anything

Natwaf: A unique Trading Evo method. It's kind of a hassle, but it's a neat idea. Escavalier himself is a freakin' tank, slow but tough as ****. And about time we got a Lancer! Just… keep away from fire.

Genny: Wow that speed! Well doesn't matter. I never actually used one because trade evos, but he seems cool enough. Speaking of trade evolutions, THIS is how you do them imo. Make it a concept that actually makes sense, and for fuck's sake make each one UNIQUE! Don't just have a Fighting type pokémon evolve by trading for the hell of it, have it be sensible from a lore perspective like this!

Anagram: I wonder how it eats. It doesn't appear to have much joint movement capacity, so its lance-arms can't really spear things and move said things to its mouth.

Paratroopa1: why am I doing pokemon rankings at 4 in the morning

Inviso: There are so many Bug/Steel-types nowadays, and this thing just doesn't stand out anymore, especially since its gets outclassed by aboth Bug/Steel-types from this generation.

StifledSilence: Escargoon was a better name.

Logicblade: I actually lied, this evolution isn't cool at all. Trade evolutions are among the worst things in pokemon.

Raka_Putra: The jaws of life. God, I hate those.

Suor: This is Karrablast trying to look cool in an armor suit and failing hard.

PrinceKaro: I really hate it when the designers just make a pokemon without giving much thought to it. For example, how does this thing move around? does it bounce like a pogo stick? does it use its arms like stilts? does it just roll along the ground twitching? Because it hands are f***ing three foot long medieval lances, even feeding itself must be a life-threatening ordeal.

Genny: Swift like the wind, and skilled with a sword Aramis was the best of the Musketeers in battle. The pokémon based on him may not be the strongest physically, but they kept true to the lore by making him the only one with a type advantage over all the others. That's a pretty neat tidbit of trivia! I love, love, love the design and typing, moreso on it than even Breloom before it (not even going to name drop that abomination that came after it)! The shiny coloration is lol, it's like it was made for me! Me want~

Logicblade: Still gets better connection than AT&T

Magmortar: Virizion is a cool deer thing, and although I haven’t ever used one, I imagine it’d be nice to have on a team. Fast with that special bulk seems handy. Probably my least favorite grass/fighting but the other two are such beasts it’s not like that’s an insult or anything.

PrinceKaro: Lost pokedex entries #11: Virizion, the commuication pokemon! This pokemon, along with Sperynt and Aytientee, forms a legendary trio that works to keep the world in touch with each other.

XIII_Rocks: Verizon wireless I'm sure I'm not the only one who made this joke

Natwaf: Bishie of the Swords of Justice. I didn't find much use for him though, not a lot of opportunities to use it's Sp. Def to setup, and Grass + Fighting… ehh. Still, a legend's a legend.

Brayze II: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/175/a/1/ikabel_s_endless_appetite_by_totenkreuzex-d6afzl3.jpg

Paratroopa1: easily the best of whatever we're calling the legendary trio from this gen that isn't the genies

Cybat: Wow I wish your horns were a different color from the rest of your head, you look like such a dweeb. But I still enjoy the design (especially from angles other than the official art) and it's the best swordsman of the group, so that's pretty cool.

StifledSilence: Join our nationwide network of fail at virizion wireless.

Anagram: Do you imagine there's a Virizion brand phone service in Unova? I do.

Inviso: Of the Musketeer TRIO (Keldeo does not count), Virizion is definitely the one I like the least. This is gonna sound weird from me, but I just think it looks too feminine compared to the other two.

Raka_Putra: And this one is the grassy one, right? Grass/Fighting quadripedal thing is pretty unique.

Wicklebee: Can you hear me now? No, I have AT&T.

ctesjbuvf: Part of a lame legendary trio and even a grass type. Pretty much a legendary Sawsbuck.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #16. There are just so many different things I cannot stand about this design that I have no idea where to even begin.

Ermine: I honestly like Zekky and Reshy both quite a bit. Two VERY solid legendaries for me and I feel they aren't going to do quite as well as they should. Underrated legendaries especially when they are surrounded by so much **** legends in this gen.

ctesjbuvf: Highest legendary. Just not a fan of them this gen. This one is cool but the design is boring. Basically just one color doesn’t look good, so that puts it a little bit down.

XIII_Rocks: BLUE FLARE

Cybat: Its tail and wings look kinda silly. But Fire/Dragon is the combo we've all wanted since Red and Blue, so he has that going for him. Plus a great signature move.

Genny: Look how majestic he appears even with a conspicuous boner! Who or what else could possibly pull that off?

Magmortar: WE FINALLY GET A FIRE/DRAGON TYPE. That looks nothing like it, has crotch feathers for some reason, and a ridiculous turbine tail. The latter is really all I like about it (and the fact that if the sun is out, things will die, I suppose). You have got to be kidding me.

KommunistKoala: Zekrom is cooler.

Raka_Putra: Yeah, that hair tuft ruins everything. Shameless exhibitionist. I can't believe someone (the art director?) okayed this horrible design.

Wicklebee: Still inferior to the black dragon. Also shut up Scar.

Paratroopa1: feather dong

Brayze II: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/163/3/1/_Pkmn__Reshiram_and_Zekrom_by_NelsonNoir.jpg

Anagram: One of the worst legendary dragons. By no means is it anywhere near as godawful as Palkia, but it's still solidly bad.

Inviso: This thing looks completely unintimidating, and it yet another horribly over-designed legendary that manages to take a Fire/Dragon typing (that we've never seen because Gamefreak is dumb about Charizard) and make it look stupid and completely unrelated to Fire.

SanityLapse: So soft.

Cybat: Not a huge fan of his absurd fluffiness, but Skill Link and Technician are both really fun abilities and he has a pretty great movepool for them. Slap a King's Rock on him for optimal trolling.

Natwaf: Pretty good. You've got Skill Link AND Technician, both useful with it's movepool. And it's totes adorbs

Anagram: Cute fuzzy thing #423165

Raka_Putra: Sounds like something you'd order at Starbucks.

Logicblade: It's fluffy and cute but it's a normal type so I never used it. Maybe I'll give it a chance one day.

Ermine: You'd think this is an Ermine pokemon, but you're wrong. It's a Karo pokemon.

Genny: This- this is just Minccino wearing a boa! I know it's hard to improve on nigh perfect designs, but at least try.

StifledSilence: A cute furry rodent wearing the fur coats of his dead fellow cute furry rodents.

Ermine: HERDIER

Raka_Putra: Already great! A trustworthy and dependable member for every team!

Logicblade: Kind of cute, good enough for me.

Wicklebee: I remember this guy! Gave me the digging tool in Fire Sanctuary in Skyward Sword. I wanna play that game now, but must wait.

StifledSilence: Drilburrrrrr evolves into Gurdurrrrrr if you hold Down+B for ten minutes.

Anagram: Except for its claws, it looks like a minor character in a Hanna-Barbara cartoon.

Paratroopa1: sort of looks more like some kind of disney character than a pokemon

Cybat: Hey, a mole Pokemon that is actually a mole. Yet another gen 5 Pokemon where I slightly like the design aesthetic (the blue and black stripes) better than its evolution.

ctesjbuvf: It’s not bad, but doesn’t really stand out.

Natwaf: Cute NFE Trash

Natwaf: Strongest of the Swords of Justice, and don't you forget it! Rock/Fighting is a highly versatile offensive STAB combo, and woe be to he who faces a Scarfed one unprepared.

Magmortar: Is Gen 5 Terrakion the single dumbest Pokemon to have ever step foot in OU? Quite possibly. Seriously Rock/Fighting with those stats is just chaotic. Band Terrakion just has you click a button and watch things die and that is totally hilarious to me. Also I love bulls (but it isn’t my favorite one from this gen…!) so that’s great too.

Whiskey Nick: he seems like a nice guy once you get to know him

Inviso: Best of the Musketeers, this guy just looks like a powerhouse. He's got a unique typing, and this is one of the few times where I'm okay with a legendary having a unique typing as opposed to being annoyed that we won't see Rock/Fighting on a normal in-game Pokemon.

StifledSilence: Terra from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep should have fused with this dude instead.

Anagram: Tauros' father is disappointed that he dropped out of the metagame after gen 1.

Wicklebee: Terracotta form of Porthos. Didn't think your fighting-type would be this bulky, huh?

Logicblade: The average musketeer pokemon. He is not anything special, but I don't hate him.

Cybat: Apart from being slightly confused about the…physics of quadrupedal Fighting-type Pokemon, I like the musketeer concept. Even this guy, who looks more pudgy than intimidating, still has a certain gravitas to him. And what a good type combination.

Brayze II: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/165/5/a/sexy_terrakion_is_sexy_by_skinst-d53fibh.jpg

Raka_Putra: I think this one is the earth/rock one, right? Well, it's pretty good but the names are too similar.

Genny: This pokémon is kind of like a fart to me. At best I find it tolerable and at worst I can't stand to be around it.

Paratroopa1: he's like a bulldog but wouldn't look as funny riding a skateboard

ctesjbuvf: Alright I suppose, but still part of a lame legendary trio.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #9. Let's slap a tough human face on a pokemon and make it a weird bull thing. Great design? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Inviso: I played an ORG starting out as a Litwick, and I acted all timid and shy, and I got bullied because of it. ;_; But at least I made friends with Gastly and Chikorita and they were nice to me until I evolved.

KommunistKoala: The moment I saw this cute little candle I knew I wanted to train it into a badass.

Anagram: Litwick is a good pokemon, but I'll always remember it more for being the easiest way to grind SpAtk Evs in Gen 5.

Brayze II: http://pokemoncosplay.blog.com/files/2014/04/Special-Pokemon-Gijinka-Litwick-Cosplay1.jpg

Logicblade: Creepy and cute! A floating candle could burn your house down if you aren't careful! Scary!

ctesjbuvf: It’s a candle, how can you not find that cute?

Paratroopa1: leave it to pokemon to make a candle cute I guess

Wigs: haha good job pokemon namers

Cybat: I like this line a lot. This guy has a great name and is cute while still being a little eerie - that purple is such an evocative color for the flame.

StifledSilence: Yep, they're definitely running out of ideas for Pokemon.

Magmortar: Litwick is really bad, although candles are cool.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #66. You were so close to avoiding the awful line... so so close..
. Raka_Putra: Adorable little candle ghost.

Wicklebee: Ghostly candle? I only like the line when it's finished.

Natwaf: Cute NFE Trash

Genny: I did not like this thing in the anime. It already struck a sore point with me by being mischievous but not nearly cute enough to get away with being a dick. Then that whole Whirlybird situation in MI's pokémon contest put the nail in the Cofagrigus. There was no coming back after that. Still it evolves into something really cool, so I can't hate it TOO much.

Wicklebee: Little Zebra, shocking the way onward.

OrangeCrush: Zapra is this gen's early electric. Thankfully his line didn't build up the huge popularity that Ampharos and Luxray had.

Anagram: I would put it higher, but the Blitzle I tried to use made the conscious decision to be so terrible that it couldn't be used even in-game.

Cybat: Another cute early Electric form. All three of its abilities cancel out a type, which is pretty cool.

Genny: Lil' Zebro! Big Zebro is a lot better. I'm sure Ermine will disagree.

Brayze II: http://s1204.photobucket.com/user/Ravioli_Boy_Returns/media/11-4.png.html

Inviso: It's okay for a base form Electric type, and it's certainly better than anything from Gen III…but still, not amazing.

Paratroopa1: what the hell, ref! he was clearly using hax! how did you not see that! what don't give me a red card *switches*

ctesjbuvf: I like Zebras. But it’s not too good really.

StifledSilence: Little bear bro's cold persisted into adulthood. Poor guy.

Anagram: Absolutely should have been ice/fighting, but that aside, Beartic is the best bear pokemon by far. Too bad it's, like, useless.

Inviso: And the number 1 threat to America: BEARS. Particularly bears with head colds making them all frothing at the mouth and such.

Wicklebee: I love polar bears. Best beard in Pokemon too.

Magmortar: It’s okay and Swift Swim is cool for some reason but I could never take it seriously because of crotch fur in its art and sprite. And the icicle beard. But mostly the fur. Still, a polar bear is a pretty tough sell.

Raka_Putra: Raaah. Does a Beartic poop in the ice caps?

Natwaf: Physical Ice! Beary scary design, and surprisingly has lots of move types to kill things with. It also has Swift Swim, so watch out.

ctesjbuvf: Pretty good, but usually not a fan of pure ice and the simple design doesn’t make up for it.

Ermine: HERDIER

Brayze II: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdeehofIzT1rycxx3.png

Genny: They really didn't try on the American name at all did they? Bear + artic = Beartic! If I got paid to do it I could come up with a better name than that I bet. Its icicle beard somehow reminds me that if you ever fall through thin ice your beard can save your life by freezing to the surface ice until rescue comes. What if the piece your beard was frozen to broke off though?

Logicblade: Put that away Beartic!

Cybat: Normally I'm all for growing out beards, but dude, shave those icicles off your chin.

Paratroopa1: it's still gross because all his snot got frozen over into a beard, I hate it when you have snot leaking out when you're sick and it gets all crusty ewww

ecksgem: Even ignoring that the giant snot bubble from Cubchoo got stuck to the fur on his chin upon evolution to form snot beard icicles, Beartic is shapeless and sporting a fur boner.

Inviso: It's sad that there's no Pokemon from Gen V in my overall top ten, because Mienshao is good enough to warrant a spot…there's just enough good stuff that beats her out. Yes, I will admit that there is a furry aspect to this high ranking (and of course furriness will keep her out of the top ten), but Mienshao is a badass in combat too. High attack and speed, combined with a strong movepool makes this one of the better pure-Fighting types, at least in my estimation. Fun to play and fun to use, I just hope she ranks highly.

Wicklebee: I overlooked this Pokemon's presence until it, and it alone, destroyed my team. (E4). I gailed a lot of respect for it. In this Gen there are Fighting-types of all sorts, and this one's pretty great.

Brayze II: http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/224/7/4/my_giant_shiny_mienshao_by_dinzydragon-d46a569.jpg

ecksgem: Mienshao was the first fighting type in five generations that I really liked. Looks great and fun to use.

Genny: I like my Fighting types to be unique. If you want to make it onto one of my teams you better damn well do something other than be slow and hit hard, so when this thing revealed itself to be a fighter I knew I had to try it out for myself and I was impressed. A deceptively speedy old karate master that slaps with its palms while faking you out with its furry sleeves is a fine concept. Also it's a freaking ermine! I don't know why the user Ermine isn't all over this thing really. How in the world is it too feminine? It's got a flipping fu manchu! Is it because it's purple??? Wartortle is purple! Kecleon is purple (in-joke)! THEY'RE not too feminine! Geez such an Ermine... I for one feel its design could not be more perfect and fitting for it.

Paratroopa1: wow! never before has the internet been graced with so many pictures of sexually suggestive weasels

Raka_Putra: Classy and elegant. He looks like he belongs in Kung Fu Panda or something. Top notch design, even if he's a bit disappointing in the battle department.

OrangeCrush: Kojondo! Kojondo! KOJONDO!!!!

ctesjbuvf: It’s good in battle, but it’s boring.

StifledSilence: It has the name of a karate master but it has the appearance of a prissy supermodel.

Natwaf: I love how sleek it looks. Much like Xatu, it's another pokemon that I like without ever actually using it. One of these days. U-Turn Regenator baby!

Logicblade: Digging the moustache. That's a cool fighting pokemon alright.

Ermine: Mienfoo is 100000 times better.

Magmortar: …yeah, I’ve got nothing. It’s a ferret-looking thing. It should be better than THIS.

Anagram: yo dawg I herd u leik fake out/u-turn so I got you a mienshao so you can fake-out while you u-turn

Cybat: When I was playing through White, I decided I needed a Fighting type for my ingame team so I trained up a Mienfoo. But as soon as it evolved I dumped it back in my PC. Seriously what the hell. But to its credit, Fake Out/U-turn/Regenerator shenanigans are pretty fun.

Cybat: So much better than Golem. It's a great "rock"ish design and, while it looks a little awkward, it still works for me. And its shiny form is beautiful.

Wicklebee: A crystalith Pokemon, I love the fact that they created one as a Rock-type. Only problem I have is him having the same mechanic as Golem.

ctesjbuvf: Strong fun powerhouse with less double weaknesses than its gen I counterpart, although the earthquake STAB is to be missed. Good Pokemon, but I prefer faster ones.

Inviso: I think this is a far cooler third-form Rock-type than Golem could ever hope to be. It just looks intense and badass. There's just better stuff above it is all.

Raka_Putra: This is how you do fodder rock Pokemon! The sharp edges and tasteful coloring really sets it apart from the Golem line.

Genny: I don't even know... Geodes are just cool. Thinking about it, Gigalith is my favorite Rock-type pokémon that's actually based on a rock and not something else entirely like say a tiny dinosaur. It's gotta be exceptionally difficult to make a rock interesting but imo the Pokémon team pulled it off here. The stats and moveset are typical of the type but there's something I like...

Anagram: Please make a bismuth crystal one day, Nintendo.

Natwaf: Looks badass, and finally, a pure rock type I love. Weird that it gets a special rock type move. I dread seeing it in the subway, it's Sturdy and high attacks almost certainly means death from a Stone Edge. Or whateer rock move it has.

Magmortar: I’m still not sure on what exactly it’s supposed to be. Compressed Pokemon indeed. But whatever, I love massive attack stats.

Brayze II: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/330/e/5/gigalith_by_ultyzarus-d5m97qd.jpg

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #65. Sturdy, Explode.

junglebob22: You don't see this one in the wild, so Sturdy isn't a problem here. It's messy design is though.

StifledSilence: Giga and "hay guyz letz mash a bunch of rocks together" are two different things.

Paratroopa1: sure, he's better than like golem or whatever

Logicblade: A big rock formation? Eh whatever.

Anagram: I remember when Gen 5 was almost out, SantaRPG made a topic where he and I rated the new pokemon. It didn't finish, and it didn't get to the point where I could rate Lilligant. Let me tell you: my second favorite pokemon, period. I think it's a really clever idea to have like a house plant you have to care way too much for that also has a Victorian aesthetic, and the pokemon itself is just plain well designed. I know a lot of people dislike humanoid pokemon, but ehh, it can work if it's done well, and Lilligant is, to me, definitely an example of it being done well. Too bad it's roughly Flareon tier in a fight.

Logicblade: A pokemon that dances it way to victory is a pokemon I can get behind. Cue the "it looks antrho and female" hater brigade. No pokemon deserve that kind of hate. Except for the bad ones. >:(

ecksgem: I guess she kind of reminds me of Lilymon, and she's just more interesting than the standard boring grass Pokemon.

Inviso: End the Lilligant h8! Lilligant is a goddamn baller. She's a pretty pretty princess and she will f*** you up harder than Klefki's jingle jingle attitude.

Paratroopa1: so sure what the fuck ever I like cute flower things

Suor: I really wish they gave Lilligant the good moves and abilities instead of overloading Derpsicott with them. It has some cool gimmicks but the lack of type coverage is real :(. At least it looks amazing.

Cybat: Shame about its movepool. But even with just Quiver Dance and Sleep Powder, it can be a threat. Great name too, you can't really say much other than "elegant" about it.

Natwaf: QUIVER PETAL DANCE! Pretty much it though, and some status moves. And it's looks.

Raka_Putra: I like it but somehow it doesn't really look like a Pokemon.

Genny: Such an elegant leafy lady. Petal Dance, Teeter Dance, Quiver Dance, ALL THE DANCE! She makes good use of it too. I can't help but feel I never used her to her full potential, like maybe I kept mine as a Petilil a bit too long. Always next time!

Wicklebee: Uh… we could have stopped at Roserade, though guess he needed a mistress that he screws when Roselia is away, apparently.

StifledSilence: You have your mother, Lilligant Potter's eyes.

ctesjbuvf: Not really a fan of this thing. It doesn’t strike me as cute, which might be what it’s supposed to see and then it’s grass.

Paratroopa1: the best water type turtle in the pokemon series, by far. what, who? I don't know who you're talking about

Genny: I <3 turtles. You can never have too many turtles, especially when they're this adorbubbles! I would not care if I were alone in the world with this opinion, but Tirtouga is second only to Wartortle in turtley cuteness. That's right I said it! Squirtle is a distant third. I love the name too. And the shiny sprite is turquoise! One of the best colors~

Ermine: HERDIER

Wicklebee: The turtle is cute though.

Brayze II: http://route50.net/data/gallery/submissions/2823_full.png

StifledSilence: We set sail for Tortuga!

Cybat: "Prototurtle Pokemon". Awesome. Very turtlish design, but hey, who doesn't like turtles?

Wigs: THIS IS THE TALE OF CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW

Raka_Putra: I think its blood can help erectile dysfunction

ctesjbuvf: It’s not bad, but it’s boring.

Natwaf: Cool NFE Trash

Inviso: This thing will probably rank in the top 20 given the board's hard-on for Water-types and turtles, but I guess it's nowhere near as bad as the love for the Torterra line was.

Anagram: I'd like a turtle pokemon that's a wall, so it can be called "hurdle."

Logicblade: A turtle! So cool! But it's a fossil and the inferior one at that.

Magmortar: This Pokemon and this Pokemon alone singlehandedly made me avoid Little Cup like the fucking plague.

Cybat: I know it's just another electric rodent, but for some reason I seriously adore this guy. It may have something to do with this: http://safebooru.org//images/470/ba7a2d2b9ed161486728cdf976b09ac05b99fa17.png?470803. But something about his animation made me love him. Sadly he looks worse in 3D, but oh well.

Raka_Putra: Meet your new friend Squirrelly! Not just any squirrel…a Chinese electric flying squirrel!

ecksgem: Squirrel Batman! Best Pika clone and hell, better than Pikachu too.

Anagram: The only pikaclone that's even remotely as good as Pikachu, Emolga makes me just want to make so many Rocky the Flying Squirrel jokes.

OrangeCrush: Easily the best Pikaclone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2AIvP06gmM

Paratroopa1: pikachu floating on balloons looks pretty ghetto now compared to pikachu with wings

Genny: My favorite Pikaclone. Iris's was such a spoiled, lazy, greedy little brat and I loved her for it. She did eventually get better that I recall, but the moments of hilarity from when she was basically a bitch were my favorites. Her rivalry-turned-friendship with Ash's Snivy was also a high point, but enough about this one Emolga specimen. As a species its design is perfect. Electric/Flying for a flying squirrel is brilliant, and it has plenty of fitting moves for such a creature.

StifledSilence: Cute little flying rodent varient of Pikachu.

Ermine: HERDIER

Wicklebee: Oh yay a flying squirrel… made to be a Pikachu knock-off… less cool now.

Natwaf: … I actually found some small use for it during my 2nd White playthrough, in my Mono-Electric team. Electric/Flying still has a horrible movepool, and I dumped it's ass as soon as I got Thundurus. But the fact that I used the traded one grants it exp bonus, and it kills grass types that are bothering my team.

Logicblade: It's a flying squirrel! So cool!

Brayze II: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/123/3/9/emolga_s_dance_by_thalateya-d63ymq0.png

BetrayedTangy: Up until this point, there's been something redeeming about the Pika clones. Pichu was in Smash, Plusle and Minun are fun in Destiny Deoxys and Pachirisu won at Regionals. Emolga however has none of that and is just dumb.

Inviso: Okay, this is probably going to be one of my biggest outliers, but seriously, f*** this thing. It's a Pikachu clone without managing to be cute (like pretty much every Pikachu clone barring Plusle/Pichu). It's a Flying-type, meaning the ONE weakness Electric types have is negated against it. Elesa uses TWO of these monsters in her gym battle (which accentuates the lack of ground weakness). AND, when I'm trying to farm Audinos in order to level Pokemon up, I always find these f***ers, and they have static, which paralyzes my Pokemon and completely f***s me over. Seriously, I hate these things.

Magmortar: something something pikacl-IT’S EVEN IMMUNE TO GROUND OH SWEET MERCYFUL GOD WHAT DID WE DO TO GAMEFREAK TO DESERVE THIS

ctesjbuvf: First of all, not making this able to evolve was a mistake. There are actually things out there that have too big evolution families and this thing desperately needs one. Where is the justice in that? The anime made this perhaps the most annoying Pokemon, although its trainer is worse. In that sense they sit together, but Emolga looks cute enough by itself, so why ruin that. Have you heard its voice? It sounds so annoying but it fits the really annoying personality they gave it.

Natwaf: This turkey is the weakest of the Tao Trio, just look at it's stats and the way it moves during battle! I thought it was a pathetic ultimate pokemon, and was going to collapse on it's own. And then came along White 2… and we saw the monstrosity that was Kyurem-W/Kyurem-Reshiram. Both attacking stats went through the roof, and even if Kyurem-B has movepool problems, NEVER forget it's got 170 and 150 attacking BST! By far the MVP in my Mono-Ice and Dragon team in the E-4, it's my favorite Gen V poke. THE POWER! THE ABSOLUTE POWER!

Wicklebee: So, we finally get an Ice Dragon, and we get… Wait, DNA splicing in Pokemon? That's actually pretty cool! Oh damnit I made an ice pun, SORRY EVERYONE!

StifledSilence: This might be my favorite gimmick for a legendary. Fuuuu…sion…HA! But even by himself he's really cool. And before we learned about him fusing with the other two dragons, the missing parts on him were so mysterious. I liked wondering what happened to him.

KommunistKoala: I really dig Kyurem's design for some reason. Can't really explain it, he just looks "cool" get it.

Suor: I feel sad for Kyurem, it has a frozen, empty body. A void that must be filled with love.

OrangeCrush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSIonRKV6SE

Cybat: The idea of fusion has always been pretty exciting in Pokemon but his two alternate forms are actually not amazing looking. Still way better than his base design though. But you can't argue with three awesome signature moves.

XIII_Rocks: The Kyurem forms are weird-looking but I like them for that because they're supposed to look kind of monstrous - they are bizarre combinations, after all.

ctesjbuvf: The thing about changing worms to Black and White Kyurem respectively is cool, but that also all it has going for it imo. It’s boring looking and doesn’t have any cool portrayal in the anime to help it.

Ermine: HERDIER

Logicblade: He's one of those darkfang dragonmons you hear about on the news.

Anagram: I really want to plug its wing into an electrical socket. Look at those icicles that branch off of them. Tell me I'm wrong.

Magmortar: Kyurem-Black is hilarious for being a 700 BSTer somehow stuck in OU, but whatever. This is not a very good dragon. I wanted a Dragon/Ice-type for quite some time, and to be blunt, Kyurem did not deliver.

Brayze II: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/120/9/0/kyurem_eats_a_cherry_by_crazyiguana-d4y4u1a.png

Genny: Whoops I left my raw chicken in the freezer too long and it got all frostbitten and started falling apart. Seriously though, Drumstick Dragon is okay but I just wanted something more in an Ice/Dragon and a legendary at that. The other Tao Trio members look so badass and powerful and Kyurem looks like it wants to be put out of its misery and go back into cold storage, poor thing. Black and especially White Kyurem helps it but still it's pretty lacking compared to the others.

Paratroopa1: he's the best "cover legendary" because he's a dragon who has a neck like a fucking giraffe

Raka_Putra: Eh, it's kind of shapeless. Cool moves though.

Inviso: I HATE the legendary dragons from this generation, and Kyurem is the worst of the three, because it has been overdesigned to high hell and I'm sorry, but I just don't find anything enjoyable about somehow managing to ruin the only Ice/Dragon in the game by making it look like a generic dragon.

PrinceKaro: The enabler of the stupid fusion mechanic. F*** off, this is pokemon, not Shin Megami Tensei.

PrinceKaro: cotton ball :D

BetrayedTangy: For some reason I really like Whimsicott. Normally I'd hate its design, but after using it in Showdown, I've become attached to it, maybe I should give Jumpluff a second chance.

Paratroopa1: hey how can we make a pokemon that appeals to paratroopa1 the user' 'make it a bird' 'yeah but aside from that' 'okay literally make it a fucking ball of fluff with something cute attached to it' 'done'

Raka_Putra: Jesus! It's so fluffy and cute and tan. I just want to hug it forever. Oh man, too good for this sinful Earth.

Brayze II: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/240/9/0/derpy_whimsicott_by_drakkonian-d483q3a.png

Logicblade: OMG so fluffy. Cuteness is so important to me.

Cybat: I never thought about it, but look at this thing's actual body - it's so tiny! Per the Pokedex: "Like the wind, it can slip through any gap, no matter how small." Kinda neat. But anyway, these things are huge trolls and I love it.

SanityLapse: The Pokedex says: "They pull pranks, such as moving furniture and leaving balls of cotton in homes." I don't know what kind of prank it is to leave balls of cotton around, but any Pokemon that thinks that this is a prank is adorable.

Wicklebee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8EFVDq0crs

Anagram: I really like the green earring things it has.

Genny: I feel like until recently poor Whimsy always got the short end of the stick compared to Lily. But now with the addition of Fairy type, it's gotten it's second wind. I always thought it was cute, but the lore behind it makes so much more sense with it being a mischievous little fay. Speaking of which its potential abilities in relation to its Pokédex entries are just flawless. <3

Natwaf: Getting a Fairy type was a surprise. ****ing annoying to face thanks to Prankster giving non-damaging moves Priority, but I can't hate it. After all, it's a key player in my 100% Super Chatelaine Nita counter.

StifledSilence: The fabric of our lives.

Ermine: HERDIER?

Magmortar: Annoying, but more fun than other annoying Pokemon. And now it’s the first thing that is 4x weak to Poison since Gen 1 Paras line.

Inviso: I don't get why this thing got a Fairy secondary typing, but none of the Florges line got Grass as a second typing. It just doesn't make sense.

ctesjbuvf: Being a fairy type helps a little bit, but it’s still lame and useless.

Suor: HERP A DERP I'm Whimsicott.

Logicblade: That pencil stache is something I can get behind. Fun fact, he is not actually a blue lion.

Natwaf: Leader of the Swords of Justice. Despite sharing Lucario's typing, he plays differently, being a bulkier slower variant, with access to different moves. Thanks to it's Def, I can pretty much leave it in to Swords Dance and kill stuff in-game. And such a regal look.

Anagram: GOAT

Genny: The Cobalt Champion may not be my favorite Musketeer, but he's still pretty damn great. I don't think I've mentioned how refreshing it is to have quadrupedal Fighting types yet, so there it is. Who says non-humanoid animals can't be scrappers too?

Cybat: The only musketeer to really embody the concept, in my opinion. He somehow looks very regal and honorable; having Justified as an ability just seems to fit him. He doesn't really look particularly Steel-ish or Fighting-ish, but hey, baby steps.

Magmortar: OH MY GOD FINALLY AN(OTHER) OKAY POKEMON. That chest fluff is great, and it’s not quite Lucario in terms of ability to destroy villages and trigger screams of terror but it has extra speed which is still really handy. Nice.

Wicklebee: Presumed leader of the Swords of Justice and the coolest one.

StifledSilence: Cobalt Lion? But he has antlers.

Inviso: Steel/Fighting was done better in Gen IV, but damn is this thing doesn't just LOOK like a dominant leader of the Musketeers.

Brayze II: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/012/1/9/cobalion_butt_by_hopeaham-d5r8lt9.png

Raka_Putra: Meh lol, what the hell. The other two/three are so much better.

ctesjbuvf: Although this one is cooler than the rest of the swords of justice, it’s a lame legendary trio.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #20. I almost want to like Cobalion... almost.

Ermine: Durant... is.... Badass. As I said in Gen 4, bug pokemon are really starting to grow on me and Durant was probably one of the ones that started my love of the buggies. I loved him right when he was released. There's just something about how evil he looks that he looks cute to me. I can't explain it. Amazingly designed poke which won't quite get the recognition he deserves.

Anagram: I really, really like Durant, and I have no real explanation for why. Is there anything particularly good about it? It's just a metal ant. Yet I love it. I think it's brilliant and almost perfect. It's even useful, it even has a gimmick that makes it usable. It's not a strong pokemon by any means, but at least it has something.

Magmortar: Hustle Durant is a thing of beauty. You wouldn’t expect an ant to be one of Pokemon’s greatest standard-allowed bulldozers, but here you have it, the blind ant that kills everything (although of course, if you miss against a special attacker or a Fire-type, RIP). The design is nice and simple, and it has that ****ing glare.

KommunistKoala: Kevin Durant doesn't get nearly enough respect. To be fair he shares the same typing as the superior Scizor and is terrible in battle but I still appreciate Durant.

Wigs: im so sorry you broke your leg buddy get well soon :(

junglebob22: Giving Durant Truantas a HA is one of the most baffling moves Game Freak has made. The word play isn't even there in Japanese wtf

Natwaf: Watch out, this thing most likely outspeeds a good chunk of your team. Durable, fast, and high attack, made all the worse (or better) with Hustle and Tough Claws. KILL IT WITH FIRE! Also, a shoutout to my Truant Durant, I wouldn't have been able to reach Super Chatelaine Nita in Y without it. in X I used a legit team, but I couldn't be bothered with it in Y yet.

Cybat: I mean, it is just a metal ant, but it works well. Funny gameplay and flavor with learning Truant and Entrainment, too. Also lol basketball

Inviso: I don't really follow basketball, but apparently Ermine does and loves this guy. Maybe he's big into charity, like Big Brothers & Big Sisters, or Make A Wish.

Brayze II: http://jocksandstilettojill.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/KD.jpeg

Logicblade: Oh wow, that's terrifying! Bug and Steel is such a cool typing, I just don't think this lives up to Scizor though.

Genny: Durant is my favorite pokémon of its exact typing. Unfortunately that's due to not liking the others very much at all rather than liking Durant a substantial amount. What I do like a substantial amount is that look in its eyes. It says "I am tired of being preyed upon and I will fuck your shit up". It's funny that it's the only English-named pokémon that you can't turn up primarily on Google.

OrangeCrush: Durant and the Thunder

StifledSilence: Kevin Durant

Paratroopa1: I fucking hate the oklahoma city thunder, good riddance for their playoff hopes this season

ctesjbuvf: It’s cool and better than one might think, but it just doesn’t really work as a Pokemon that doesn’t evolve imo. Seems like there should be something more. It has a rivalry going for it I suppose. Wish the anime made something better of that.

Wicklebee: Fucking Hustle. I hate that ability so much.

Raka_Putra: It's just an ant with adjusted hue and lighting effects!

Anagram: It's not the cutest Gen 5 dragon, but it's still pretty cute. Anime Axew is a pain in the ass, but not so obtrusive (like Togepi) that I really disliked it.

Genny: This is the start of another very solid line. Currently I feel like it only gets better as it goes along, but next week I could have their rankings completely reversed. Or maybe I'd place Fraxure highest, and swap Axew and Haxorus. Anything could happen really, because all three members of this line are great and I personally have them all within ten spots of each other. Mild spoilers all up in this writeup bleh. I'd comment on Iris' but he never really stood out among the more vivacious pokémon of the main team.

Brayze II: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/077/8/2/axew_by_ispellgooder-d7apmga.png

Ermine: Poor man's Larvitar.

Logicblade: Lemme axew something… does anyone else get this confused with Larvitar?

Paratroopa1: ax? ew

Magmortar: it is only here because its name lets me make dumb jokes. I Axew about Generation 5: why is so little of it actually memorable, because a damn PUN puts it over way too many Pokemon by the standards of any OTHER generation.

Raka_Putra: It doesn't look much like anything…

Cybat: I just noticed its color scheme makes it look like it's wearing a bib. One of the cuter first-stage dragons.

StifledSilence: Axew? I barely know yew!

Inviso: Cute neough, and I like that you can get it pretty early compared to most three form Dragons…but damn if this thing hasn't f***ed me in so many XY Nuzlocke runs. Stupid Dragon Rage.

Natwaf: Cool NFE Trash

ctesjbuvf: I love how it looks and what it becomes, but the anime probably drags it down about 50 spots with that terrible main character Axew we had. That never stopped being a weak crybaby but constantly learned owerpowered moves out of nowhere so it seemed like it made progression. The anime completely ruined this Pokemon for me. Probably good for my opinion of its family that it never evolved, even though it created a major plothole.

Wicklebee: It's kind of cute, but those linear fangs are just wut.

ecksgem: Reuniclus doesn't seem to be that popular and I can't fathom why! He's got a clever concept, I love his design, and he's fun to use in battle. Hits all the right notes for me.

BetrayedTangy: I absolutely love Reuniclus, for a while when I was trying out the competitive Pokemon scene and set up a Trick Room Reuniclus and he was easily one of my favorite Party Members, along with Togekiss, who was my Number 1 last gen.

Brayze II: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/311/6/f/rankurusu_shocked_by_wupar-d32dhpj.png

Raka_Putra: Another dope design. I love the plasma thing it's got going. I so want to use one.

SanityLapse: I like see-through bodies and seeing how things work.

Ermine: Very cool poke and while he has probably dropped a small bit for me, he still makes a strong impression on me to snag a spot in my top 20

ctesjbuvf: Can one-hit KO so much in game, but is held down by its lack of speed.

Cybat: Pretty solid stat distribution and really good abilities. But mostly I just really like the execution of this concept. The little creepy cell body, the floating appendages, it all works. Its name is a little long though.

Wicklebee: Huuuuuuuuuuuug.

Inviso: I actually raised one of these in Gen V and it wound up being pretty cool. Yes it's slow, but it's powerful and serves as a halfway decent tank. Plus it's just so cute, even for a third form.

Natwaf: A dangerous fetus if you're not ready. It can absorb Will-o-wisp, allowing it to absorb and set-up Trick Room, and due to it's stats, VERY dangerous if you let it. It can hit you in the defense or special defense, and has access to Shadow Ball AND Focus Miss. Kill it with extreme prejudice. But fun to use too, and who doesn't love the idea of a fetus kicking ass olver the place?

Suor: Looks so bubbly and bouncy, can't hate that.

Anagram: I never saw Osmosis Jones. Is it any good?

Logicblade: Despite being three floating abortions, this pokemon is fun to battle with, so it gets a big boost for me there.

StifledSilence: It's like science only fully evolved.

Paratroopa1: why is that guy from rhythm heaven fever in this game encased in jello pudding

Genny: So we have a Psychic tapir fetus and a Psychic mouse fetus in the same game? It annoys me that this line is so much less hated on that the goth line. Bah...

Magmortar: Not only is it also a cell (already in a bad situation), it is more than capable of sweeping your team. Wonderful. Fuck Reuniclus.

Wigs: Sperm, garbage, and fetuses. What is this game trying to tell me? OH GOD NO DON'T MITOSIS OH GOD

OrangeCrush: It's literally a fetus! I almost wanted to make it my #156, but I didn't feel like being one of the last to have my last place fall yet again, and there's 2 things that are slightly worse.

Bane_Of_Despair: How can I not? Look at this guy, too fucking adorable with his shell and Water Starters are still on point

StifledSilence: Just like the cute penguin in Gen 4, the cute otter won me over and stopped me from picking the Fire type.

Anagram: Oshawott is a good example of a pokemon that is completely redeemed by the anime. I hated it when it came out because its design is garbage, but the anime gave it such personality and presence that I ended up loving the pokemon after all.

KommunistKoala: Oshawott doesn't give a ****

ctesjbuvf: Highest non-final form. One of the few good things about the BW anime and a hilarious Smash kill. It’s anime role is primarily the reason for its high placement.

Ermine: Otters Otters Otters Otters Otters Otters Otters.

XIII_Rocks: http://data3.whicdn.com/images/16462039/original.jpg

Genny: As a species Oshawott is fairly likeable. It's not exactly the cutest starter, but I love otters so when an otter Water starter line was announced I flipped. Then I actually saw it: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/79/501Oshawott_BW.png It wasn't the worst thing ever, but hard to deny that its 1st official artwork didn't quite capture the joy and playfulness that otters are known for. Still sad clown otter is still an otter so I wasn't going to shirk my Water starter loyalty trend by picking the Grass snake, tempting though it was. (Now I kind of wish I did sooner because look at its adorable enemy sprites: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/0c/Spr_5b_501.png; http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/50/Spr_5b2_501.png) What really made me fall in love with the pokémon however was not using it in game, but watching the anime. Ash's Oshawott is without a doubt the most entertaining and endearing pokémon character that had debuted in the show to that point. You keep your Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Meowth. I. Want. That. Oshawott.

Logicblade: Cute. Just needs a pair of guns to become Revolver Oshawott.

Paratroopa1: Occupational Health and Safety Administration, what? no, I mean, what is that

Inviso: Lowest-ranked first form start for me, if only because it looks so ugly compared to the adorable nature of both Tepig and Smugleaf. Still cute though.

Cybat: The only mammalian water starter is also the cutest. Weird name though, where does the "Osha" come from?

Suor: Ash's Oshawott was boss and single-handedly raised my opinion of it.

Wicklebee: Turn into Dewott already.

Raka_Putra: Most bullied Pokemon in all of history I'm sure. I'm glad it doesn't keep its suckiness.

Brayze II: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/233/6/4/oshawott_is_sooooooo_cute_by_hornedsheep-d47e1p1.png

Magmortar: On reveal day, I hated it. Today, I still hate it. And I still picked the damn thing in Black because these starters are so fucking bad.

Natwaf: NFE Trash

OrangeCrush: Genwunners throw the word "overdesigned" around a lot, but in this case it's warranted. Wotter a.k.a. Derpderp has so many things going on with his design that he just ends up looking like a clown.

Ermine: HERDIER

Brayze II: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/027/4/8/tumblr_ing__tepig_2_by_basketgardevoir-d5szmqp.png

Logicblade: Cute. Other than that, his name is a neat pun.

Inviso: I'm not a huge fan of pigs, and Spoink is still more adorable…but Tepig isn't half-bad. It's still cute and so happy all the time!

Raka_Putra: Who's te pig? He is Tepig!

StifledSilence: That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Genny: The cutest basic starter this generation! Unfortunately that cuteness is tainted by the knowledge of what it will evolve into so this is as high as I can place it.

OrangeCrush: Pignition is a much better name than Tehpig

Cybat: Almost a clever name pun but it doesn't really work when you say it out loud. Oh well, still by far the best in its line.

ctesjbuvf: Kind of cute. I love its voice in the anime. For a starter, it’s not that great really.

Paratroopa1: bacon is all right but it's kind of an overrated food

Paratroopa1: super fucking amazing rococo snake who is better than you and also knows that he's better than you hence the name

Suor: Best Grass starter ever and best Unova final starter. The haters are just salty that it looks so completely UNFAZED by their opinions, in fact looking down on them for they are inferior and their favorites as well. Must be people who picked Samurott LMAO.

Raka_Putra: Regal! Love the Hidden Ability (or whatever it is) and the design just reeks of nobility. Bow before him, peasants!

ctesjbuvf: Best starter! Usually not a fan of grass, but this one rocks.

Bane_Of_Despair: Bow down to the Emperor Snake! So regal looking and nice designs on its sides

Inviso: Smuglord is SO goddamn smug and I love it. I don't get how people can hate the lord of all snakes like this. He is Solid, Liquid and Solidus combined into one supreme being. For shame, hating on the best Grass starter of all time.

Brayze II: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/283/e/8/serperior_burp_by_dan_the_countdowner-d6q0114.jpg

XIII_Rocks: Would have been top 3 and maybe top 10 of all time if its stats hadn’t beeen so outrageously disappointing. In terms of design the whole family is on point and that's almost the entire reason it has gotten this far… that and the recent release of contrary.

Genny: My feelings on Serperior can be summed up thusly: Fuck the haters. To delve even further, Serperior is beautiful, by far the most elegantly-designed Grass starter FE, and yet not overly feminine. It also has a kick-ass name to match its luxurious appearance, correctly utilizing the superior pun in a way that isn't stupid. There's a reason its Japanese name has "lord" in it. Is it the end all be all of fighters? Hell to the naw, but what Grass starter is, really? Torterra? Venusaur? Let's see them pull that off while looking this gorgeous then! The point is, even though Serperior is outclassed by many a thing in a competitive sense (something that has been rectified a bit with Contrary), it's absolutely serviceable in-game. You can make almost any pokémon work if you're willing to put in a bit of effort, and yeah Serperior could be better but I hate that people immediately dismiss it.

ecksgem: A bit of a disappointment after Snivy and Servine, but Serperior is still cool.

Wicklebee: Superior! Half of him is the name, the other half was using him to solo Dragons because the rest of my team was half-assed and or killed by Water (Krook).

OrangeCrush: Smuglord losing his limbs is kinda weird.

Cybat: I actually like the concept of a fast tank; you don't see that very much. Of course, this guy's typing and abilities don't really work for that, but I'd like to see more of that archetype. But anyway yeah, Contrary spam. I don't hate his actual design as much as everyone else seems to.

Natwaf: Inferior to Smugleaf, and being defensive ensures I wouldn't like it too much. Being speedy defensive is neat though, and he does have Coil as an option. Contraryperior is awesome, but not the unstoppable juggernaut some make him out to be (you know who you are). Still has a spot on my Mono-Grass E4 team.

Logicblade: Truly the superior pokemon in his line. As for him personally… eh, I'm not too fussed about snakes.

Ermine: HERDIER

PrinceKaro: It should have been called 'Serinferior'.

Anagram: Based on the French aristocracy. I wonder when we'll get a pokemon based on the French revolution.

KommunistKoala: Knowing contrary is cool I guess.

Magmortar: Serperior is beyond garbage in every field - design, in-game, competitive, name, you name it - and Rhyperior is a fifty thousand times better Pokemon with a name like it.

StifledSilence: It's ugly. It's useless. It has a smug look on its face like it doesn't realize it's ugly and useless. This is the worst starter line by a mile, culminating in the worst final form starter and the worst Grass type. There aren't enough Flamethrower TMs in the world to properly exorcise this plague from the world with super effective precision.

Bane_Of_Despair: Cool typing, really cute, cool legendary

StifledSilence: This is definitely one of the cuter and more harmless legendaries. Very huggable!

Cybat: For how much its lore hypes up "victory" and "infinite energy", its ability is incredibly underwhelming. But he is suitably cute, and V-Create is pretty fantastic.

Natwaf: V-Create > YOUR FACE! In my first playthrough of White, Victini was very valuable, able to hit from both ends and neat typing. Well, Psychic still sucks a bit. Then in my E4 Mono-type medal run, This little wrecks so many things with Bolt Strike and V-Create. V for Victory pokemon indeed

Anagram: The best Mew clone by far, including Mew.

OrangeCrush: http://i.imgur.com/53FcKOE.png

Paratroopa1: yeah I dunno generic cute things work for me

Inviso: I wish this was a legendary in Gen IV, because for all the s****t legendaries they had, they could've used something actually fun and cute like this.

Wicklebee: The only event Pokemon I even tried to get, and I tried really hard to get it. Literally, I hooked up to the wifi at some donut shop because I couldn't get wifi to work in the dorm or in my father's house on my DS at the time. It's kept me from restarting the game though :|

ctesjbuvf: It’s not as cute as other small event Pokemon, but the type combination is awesome and almost unique.

Genny: Probably the highest an event-only pokémon is ever going to land on any of my lists (Mew aside who... heh there were OTHER methods of obtaining). I just love the concept of a pokémon that grants victory to its trainer, and with a moveset like that I could actually buy it. Buttwings aside I love its design. It perfectly pulls off the cute-but-not-TOO-cute look most fairy-esque event legendaries either fail miserably at or don't even go for (because they KNOW they'd fail [looking at YOU, Jirachi] miserably). I didn't even know about the apple thing. That's pretty neat.

Raka_Putra: V for Victory! Yeah, it's adorable enough and it has that gimmick of being the #0 in the Pokedex, so props for that I guess.

XIII_Rocks: Making this dex entry #000 just seemed a transparent attempt to mark it out as different. But V-Create…oh man V-CREATE.

Magmortar: V-create is amazing, but otherwise, whatever. Yes, V-create is sometimes all you need to be above other Pokemon because of how FUCKING AWFUL most of this generation is.

Brayze II: http://pokenavels.deviantart.com/gallery/ I'm just going to post the whole gallery

Logicblade: Cute but I don't care about Victini.

KommunistKoala: This is a pokemon alright.

Suor: It makes me uncomfortable to think that Victini flies around flapping the wings on its butt.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #33. Ginormous ears and ball sacks for legs.

Wicklebee: Almost my favorite fossil poke, a colorful extinct birdy. Not much to say past that. His ability is annoying though.

ecksgem: My favorite fossil. Why? It's a fucking archaeopteryx.

Paratroopa1: archeops in B/W: pretty badass looking. archeops in X/Y: oh my god he's so fat that he can barely fly. hilarious. look at him go! you can do it, tubby

KommunistKoala: I like the concept of starting really strong but getting weaker after losing half of it's hp. Maybe it'd be better on a non-flying type.

Anagram: It's interesting in like a clown sort of way.

junglebob22: Archeops has one of the best Gen 6 animations. It's a transitional species, so of course it's going to be a terrible flier!

StifledSilence: What do you call an Archeops that searches for lost relics? An Archeopogist!

Ermine: Doesn't quite live up to how awesome Archen is. Eh, he's alright.

Natwaf: Finally, a generation with TWO great fossils! Archeops has great stats and looks ferocious. Very primal. Who can forget the devastating Acrobatics + Flying Gem combo? Yet alas and alack, it's got a horrible ability. Almost as bad as Truant and Slow Start. Still, shouldn't be much of a problem in-game.

ctesjbuvf: The better fossil for sure. Decent, but nothing special.

Inviso: Far superior to Archen because it looks cool, and it has much higher stats, but damn if that ability doesn't just ruin everything good about Archeops. I mean, it's not Regigigas bad, but still.

Raka_Putra: Kinda fun to use but…yeah, that ability is gonna be a problem. Well, worth a try I guess!

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/157/a/d/xy_archeops_look_so_chubby_by_velink-d7l8ksr.jpg

Magmortar: it could have been a decent Pokemon. But that ability is so fucking bad. Why the hell. Regigigas and Slaking have worse ones, but they can take hits.

Logicblade: Whoa Archeops, you put on weight.

Suor: I love birds. I wanted to love Archeops, but it makes it incredibly hard for me because it's just so... weird. It's like a pineapple with wings. Thankfully it has one of the coolest abilities out there to redeem it.

Cybat: Its stats are good but not THAT good that it needed this awful ability. Rough draw. Also, don't know if this was a coincidence but it's pretty awesome: Its Pokedex number (567) is part of the Dewey Decimal number 567.9, the number for feathered dinosaurs.

Genny: Archeops places this high solely on the lore behind it and its concept, because with that butt ugly design it certainly ain't winning me over on looks! I feel like I should like something based on a winged velociraptor and the first true bird a lot more but I just don't. I think part of it is the design yes, but that's not the entire reason. What exactly holds it back apart from that is something I can't quite put my finger on. Oh yeah now I remember. The other fossil line is just so much more appealing.

Steiner: I had way too much fun using this thing in Gen V online, which actually encouraged me to use one in game where I found it to be just as satisfying. Plus, one of my favourite designs.

Raka_Putra: The shining gem of Gen V. An achievement in both art and technical design. Sigilyph is a Pokemon unlike any other, a shining paragon of creativity. I used it a lot in White and it totally rocked.

StifledSilence: I really thought this was an evolved form of Unown. Like…why isn't it? But oh well. The color scheme is fantastic and if you train him right he's amazing in a fight.

Magmortar: Really a goddamn amazing Pokemon. It was another thing that wrecked house on my old Black game, and it has a fair bit of good battle use. The Aztec-inspired design with an Unown for some reason is always great. This is everything Natu and Xatu hope to be.

XIII_Rocks: SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG. Kind of a cult favourite, but Sig was my flier in BW and I never regretted it. I love its movepool and its unique playstyle. A lot of fun to use and one of my favourite designs in the series.

ctesjbuvf: I prefer to be able to evolve my Pokemon, but this thing is still great. Type combination has its clear weaknesses, which prevents it from a top spot.

OrangeCrush: Yeah, his design is weird. However, I love Fly and dislike 24/7 HM slaves. Unfortunately, most fliers fall into 1 of 3 categories: 1. Can't learn Fly until evolving at a late level; 2. Legendary; 3. Sucks or at least is mediocre and I'm tired of using it all the time. Any flier that averts all 3 of those categories is worth its weight in gold, and Sigilyph defintely qualifies.

Cybat: I really like the look of this thing. It also has a good name and useful abilities. And it gets some fun toys; Stored Power sets are always entertaining.

Natwaf: A Nazca drawing come to life, this thing is so freaky I LOVE it. Watch out for it's hilariously trollish set, dat Stored Power REALLY hurts. Will-o-Wisp it's teammate at your own peril.

Paratroopa1: so I realized recently that if you turn it on its side it does actually look like a bird, it's weird because the way they oriented it it just looks like a nightmare. sigilyph is a really clever design, making something based on nazca lines is fucking cool

Suor: Love the explosion of colors, makes it hard to believe it would evolve from Unown, doesn't it?

Brayze II: man really? Okay http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/300W/f/2015/046/9/e/sigilyph_by_elpatrixf-d8i5mgq.png

Ermine: Pretty cool looking poke.

Inviso: This thing is super-fast and has a cool design, but it's just not all that special to me. I guess I want a Psychic/Flying type that looks like an actual animal.

Genny: I see you "i" Unown... hanging out on top of another pokémon's head and trying to pretend you're a new pokémon. Can't fool me! Anyway I thought Sigilyph was some kind of funky totem pole, but apparently it's based more on a doll. Nah I'm not seeing it. Anyway I like funky designs, but I can't help but compare it to Xatu because of the look and the typing and feel they're a bit too similar. It just feels like a second rate Xatu even though it's objectively a bit of an improvement.

Anagram: A cool concept ruined by even accidental reference to Unown.

Wicklebee: Xatu was better.

Logicblade: What is this thing supposed to be?

PrinceKaro: There are ugly pokemon. There are poorly designed pokemon. Then there is a pokemon that transcends all that and reaches a singularity of terribleness that is unmatched in the entire series. I greatly dislike pokemon that I cannot see as real living creatures, and Sigilyph is the greatest offender in this regard. (mind you, this is in a series that has f***ing gear, trash bag, and ice cream cone pokemon!) It is completely at odds with the art style used for the rest of the game. though using the word 'art' to describe this thing is kind of silly, as it has about as much artistic merit as a scribble done by a visually impaired 5-year old. If that wasn't bad enough, they had to give it the ability to battle competitively in the most annoying and trollish way possible.

SanityLapse: 4 Arms are badass. 4 Ghost Arms coming from a sarcophagus are even more badass.

Wicklebee: This Generation has Pokemon where they pop up and I stare for a bit like "I never would have thought of that type of Pokemon." A mummy Pokemon… this was an excellent concept and I'm glad they did it. Especially his ability.

Suor: The ultimate creepy pokémon, with an awesome name and devilish smirk. Now tell me where the sarcophagus touched you.

junglebob22: 2spooky4censors

ctesjbuvf: Solid Pokemon, although usually not to happy with ghost types in game. The design is great.

Cybat: Its design is a little on the nose but I still like it. But my absolute favorite thing about this Pokemon is that you couldn't take it online with its real name. Way to go Gamefreak.

Raka_Putra: Awesome design for a mummy Pokemon, rightfully menacing

StifledSilence: Censor bypass ghostie.

Magmortar: hooray for being the destroyer of word filters

Natwaf: Annoying to fight, and annoying to use. Dat Mummy+Will-o-Wisp screwed me over one too many times, and yet has saved my life as well. Great design.

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/236/b/0/bergamask_the_cofagrigus_by_liamisgreat-d7wkeuk.png

Inviso: lol censor bypass. This is actually a pretty solid tank, and it's not a bad design, but I just find it hilarious that Gamefreak won't let you wonder trade a Pokemon THEY created due to the name having a censor bypass.

Paratroopa1: cofagrigus: the only pokemon that has a censorship whitelist

Wigs: oh. It's a sarcophagus. With arms. Oh.

Anagram: I wonder how many people will reference the amusing fact that you can rename one, but not name it back.

Ermine: HERDIER

Genny: Gonna be honest: I did not learn about its ability until recently. Upon learning what Mummy is and does I promptly moved Cofagrigus up about 40 spots. It's still not great, but that ability is so darned unique.

Logicblade: I spelt his name on purpose because apparently the word in the middle of his name is bad.

Drakeryn: the best part about cofagrigus is that you couldn't trade it over GTS because of the name

OrangeCrush: As a LGBT symphathizer, I must protest Nintendo of America's name for this Pokemon. What the hell were they thinking? Did they not notice that you can't trade this Pokemon without nicknaming it? They should've named it Desucan instead.

Bane_Of_Despair: Love the coloring, and it's basically a baby fox which equals all sorts of amazing cuteness

Anagram: I'm not really sure why foxes get so many pokemon (Vulpix, Zorua, Fennekin), but Zorua I think is the best of them. It's cute without being too cute, and it retains just enough badassedness to seem legit. It is, in fact, a lot better than its evolution.

Genny: Other than having only one tail, I think Zorua does the kitsune thing much better than the Vulpix line. It's got the my favorite gimmick/ability and it totally fits with the trickster lore. How cool is it when you face a Zorua or Zoroark in disguise for the first time, seriously? I haven't even mentioned its anime appearances, in which every one is mischievous and adorable- always a winning combination for me. I loved Movie Zorua and cared about his quest to find his Meema. I got teary eyed when they were finally united, not even kidding.

KommunistKoala: I like the idea of the ability and it's pretty cute.

Logicblade: Cute points are important. I would wear a Zorua as a hat but it wouldn't like that. :( Paratroopa1: I wish I wasn't cursed with liking this dumb froofy fox more than I should

Brayze II: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/030/4/a/poke_muscle_zorua_by_d12_izoroark-d74et6u.jpg

ctesjbuvf: Cute and I like the mischievous way it has been portrayed in the anime.

Ermine: HERDIER

Cybat: I sorta wish the two names in this line were switched, but oh well. This thing is pretty cute but still has a bit of an edge to him. And of course Illusion is fun times.

Inviso: You would think I'd automatically support a fox, but Zorua's design just doesn't do anything for me. It's cute, but the rarity aspect in BW hurts it.

Wicklebee: Little Zoruark… meh.

StifledSilence: Your liking of this Pokemon is just an illusion.

Raka_Putra: Like Zoroark but worse because it's weak and ugly.

Magmortar: whatever, I can’t think of things to say about this gen anymore, Zorua is a generic fox

FUCK ANYONE WHO HAS DARMANITAN OUTSIDE THEIR TOP 1, HE IS UNQUESTIONABLY THE BEST REGULAR POKEMON OF ALL TIME AND THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN WIGGLE HIS WAY INTO BRAINS AND INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW FUCKING LOUD AND INTENSE AND ALL-IN DARMANITAN IS AND YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU HAD EVER BEEN PUNTED INTO A FICTIONAL PLANET THAT ONLY EXISTS IN CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S MIND BY A BASE 235638010 ATTACK SHEER FORCE FLARE BLITZ ONLY THEN WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRUE EXCELLENCE OF THEMANITAN. DARMANITAN DARMANITAN.

ctesjbuvf: THE MAN. For the perfect in-game experience.

StifledSilence: Infernape was really cool, but this ape has the whole package. He packs a whollop AND looks like a pissed off, menacing, primal ape. I love it!

Inviso: I normally think XIII acts kinda childish with some of his random Pokemon memes, but I'll be damned if this thing doesn't DESERVE the title of "THE MAN"-itan. It looks cool and powerful, it's got a strong moveset and an extremely high attack stat, and overall, it's an extremely good addition to the team if you're looking for a Fire-type (thought there's one I'd rank higher).

KommunistKoala: Zen mode is cool in theory, though I don't think I've ever seen it used. But this thing doesn't need that, the MANITAN is awesome in its own right.

Wigs: hi xiii

Wicklebee: Gorilla with a hilarious moment of turning into Zen Mode.

Magmortar: what can I say, I am a sucker for psychotic looking things that resemble bulldozers

Steiner: da man

Raka_Putra: Fun gimmick! And the daruma-doll design is also quite great, all around strangely enjoyable.

OrangeCrush: Darmanitan, Hihidaruma, Rageape, THEMANITAN

Brayze II: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/342/9/3/joshscorcher_the_darmanitan_by_callum_the_g-d8968tk.png

Natwaf: Overrated, but he's still awesome. DarMANitan indeed. Dat Attack + Sheer Force is just plain scary, but eesh that average/below average speed is going to bite you. It's got godawful Hidden ability too. What the **** was Gamefreak thinking with Zen Mode?

Genny: While I don't quite think it's THE MAN (ITAN), I cannot deny its godliness in battle. Both modes OMG. What a fucking powerhouse. And that learnset! Are you kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? WITH SHEER FORCE? FOR REAL!? You've just gotta love when a pokémon's natural learnset requires zero TM use to be a tour de force. It doesn't look all that bad either. Actually I kind of like that it's not "pretty" because the dolls it's based off of are anything but. Zen Mode looks great too. Love the contrast between the two modes and the lore behind them. It's also about time we got an orangutan pokémon because we had a gorilla and a chimp already.

Anagram: I understand that a lot of pokemon have weird gimmick ideas behind them, and not every gimmick idea is going to be useful or even interesting. But another form like it has? Garbage.

Cybat: Awesome stats and movepool but loses points for its weird eyes and for utterly wasting a really neat hidden ability. Zen mode Darmanitan is so pointless that I bet you forgot it existed until just now.

Logicblade: YOU ARE NOT THE MAN… tian. Just an okay dude.

Paratroopa1: better version http://archive.pokedit.com/boards/ckfinder/userfiles/2/images/darmanitan.png

PrinceKaro: It looks like someone took a picture of a Boo from the Super Mario series and drew arms, legs and an idiotic grin on it.

Suor: Zen mode kind of redeems it. Otherwise, I can't shake off my head the thought that this entire line stinks of poo.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #26. I just want to say that this Generation... well... the designers had a few problems designing the pokemon's faces. Yeah... I don't like Darmanitan.

ecksgem: A fire monkey is pretty much the most unappealing thing possible to me, and Darmanitan does not have a good design to fall back on like Infernape does.

KommunistKoala: Now this is a legendary. Take notes, Tornadus. This gen did provide some excellent bugs at least, and Genesect is the cream of the crop.

Natwaf: It's here, the other ultimate poke of the game. Of great use in my Mono-Steel White 2 playthrough, this thing is… ridiculously unfair. It gets a free stat boost just by stepping into battle, it learns flamethrower and Ice Beam, it has access to U-Turn, it's just unfair! SO much power... probably the number 1 special bug. And I love it's looks! Too bad it's signature move is awful. Technoblast, pfft.

Magmortar: It is a purple flying robot bug from the age of dinosaurs with a cannon on its back that can shoot out fire and ice. It struggles to care about your opinion.

Wigs: FRICKIN SHARKS WITH FRICKIN LASER BEAMS ATTACHED TO THEIR FRICKIN HEADS (yes I know its not a shark)

Brayze II: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/117/7/b/a_sexy_mistake_by_genesect_the_biobug-d3f19zq.png

Wicklebee: I love this guy's gimmick, with the move that changes element.

Cybat: Gains a lot of points for being the first Bug-type legendary. He has a sort of stupid-looking face, but a pretty interesting concept to balance it out. And Techno Blast is cool.

StifledSilence: This isn't a rehash of Arceus's gimmick how…?

Raka_Putra: The loli Genesect in the Genesect movie was hilarious. "Onii-chan…I'm scared…" oh shut up you're a genocidal giant metal gear bug thingie.

Drakeryn: pew pew

Ermine: HERDIER

Suor: I love how it becomes a small UFO and shoots beams of destruction around. These kind of things are always a classic.

OrangeCrush: Dennis, Dennis, DENNIS, DENNIS

Genny: This thing totally stole Mewtwo's backstory and didn't even improve on it any. What's with all the Bug/Steel types this generation anyway? Bleh. Event-only means I've never used it since my arse can't be bothered. It LOOKS pretty cool, but I don't see why it needed to be a thing in Gen V. Like maybe instead it should have taken the place of Heatran in Gen IV. I dunno.

Inviso: Bug/Steel is done better by Scizor. Sorry, but that's the pinnacle. Plus, this is an event legendary. Still, it looks badass and I like the concept of inserting cards to change its attacks.

ctesjbuvf: Quite interesting legendary actually with its story and drive. But I dislike how it’s always portrayed as a weapon. Mewtwo had personality.

Logicblade: They sort of missed with the legends this time around. Genesect is… nothing special.

Anagram: It's meant to be cool, but it's really just kind of dumb.

Paratroopa1: no thanks I don't like transformers

OrangeCrush: Deer are cool, seasons are cool, and Horn Leech is awesome, so Discodeer is awesome!

Genny: Whoever came up with this concept earns my personal gold medal of pokémon concepts. I'm sure I don't need to explain why. I'm not even fond of either of its types, but man, so aces. Design wise Autumn Saws is my favorite, but none are bad. And speaking of not bad, that's the Sauce in battle. I'm glad this gimmicky pokémon can actually hold its own, because I'd be devastated otherwise.

Suor: Winter Sawsbuck is the best, not debatable. Autumn is also acceptable.

Logicblade: Majestic, the prince of the forest does not disappoint.

Raka_Putra: So regal! Sawsbuck over Stantler any day. And that season thing? Fantastic. Gen V just hits it out the ballpark in design.

Inviso: Far better execution of the seasonal stuff than Deerling, because it just looks so majestic. Also, this is like, the only time ever where Winter is the best at anything. F*** Winter in every other situation besides Sawsbuck.

Natwaf: Pretty cool. Majestic with usable stats, a far sight better than that weak ass pansy Stantler. And it has access to Jump Kick to increase it's movepool range too. Earned it's place in both E4 medals it's eligible for. I think my favorite is Winter.

Cybat: Fun concept but none of its form designs are all that great. Even so, it has good stats and a great movepool so I'm on board.

Ermine: HERDIER

Brayze II: http://gfbrobot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/fan11fri-20.jpg

Magmortar: I don’t think anything can live up to having to evolve from PINK BAMBI but Sawsbuck is…alright. The winter one is cool, and that’s it really.

StifledSilence: No wonder Bambi's dad was never around while he grew up. Someone caught him!

ctesjbuvf: Actually pretty good, but I don’t really care much for it. Especially because it’s grass.

Paratroopa1: he's a stupid deer except I think it's really funny when his antlers just grow into giant, awkward trees

Wicklebee: This fucker ran over grandma!

Anagram: A cool little idea (changing with the seasons) that doesn't really go anywhere.

Wicklebee: From Pawn to Bishop, this pokemon cuts diagonally and destroys everying in the way. The Bishop has always been my favorite chess piece.

Cybat: OK, rationally I know this thing is kinda overdesigned to be cool and "edgy" but I guess I'm just a sucker for it. Cool typing and name, and enough attack to make people nervous. Also he's a weird chess-y superhero.

OrangeCrush: My biggest issue with Isshu is that a lot of the Pokemon don't evolve until way too late. Bisharp has a cool name and great design, but I've never used one since Pawniard doesn't evolve until level 31587123094. I suppose he's good in competitive, but he relys too much on the prediction heavy Sucker Punch.

Raka_Putra: Bisharps don't really exist, they're just Pawniards in denial.

KommunistKoala: One of those pokemon I saw before playing B/W and instantly loved. I'm not sure I ever picked him up in my first run but still he's awesome.

Inviso: I used one on my Steel team with that ability where its attack improves whenever someone lowers its other stats, and it's amazing. Really cool design and typing makes for a fun battle experience if you put the time and effort into leveling him.

ctesjbuvf: Nice type combination. Fun to use. Not much more to say.

Logicblade: If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Natwaf: I… don't see the Power Rangers reject in this thing. At first this thing was a liability with some Sucker Punch niche… and then Fairy came along and Knock Off got a boost, and Bisharp suddenly became VERY deadly. Sharp design, great stats, and just the right moves for it to start slicing things up

Genny: This thing looks more like it evolved from Cut Man than a pokémon proper, but I for one don't take issue with that. Dark/Steel is a typing we NEEDED and I have no legitimate complaints with what was given to us.

SanityLapse: Mega Man enemy.

Wigs: We need a name that's witty at first but seems less funny each time you hear it.

StifledSilence: bisexual bilingual bilateral bimonthly bicentennial bisharp

Paratroopa1: a big, bipedal, fully-evolved water type turtle. probably the best one! I can't think of any others

Wicklebee: I used to hate this Poke because I thought it was a Galapagos Turtle. I learned otherwise, and now like it.

Genny: It's a brilliant blue turtle in a bulletproof vest. What more do you fucking need? I bet a certain genderfluid individual with a propensity toward furry things is going to say "too many turtles", but you know what? That's bullshit. Torkoal, and the Squirtle, Turtwig lines are the only true turtles and they're all tortoises, which are land-based. We only have one line of sea turtles in 6 generations. As far as I'm concerned that makes both Touga and Costa unique as hell. BTW even if we count the iffy Shuckle, and really why would we, that only makes ten total turtles of any kind. Meanwhile there are 13 foxes across four lines, and that's not including cat-foxes Espeon and Leafeon and the Abra line. Yet "too many foxes" is never a thing that would be uttered by aforementioned individual. In conclusion, if said individual happens to say those three words (and zhe probably will), then said individual can promptly eat them. Anyway back to Carracosta. Its line is my absolute favorite fossil line, and giant sea turtles rule. The end.

Natwaf: Finally, a generation with TWO great fossils! In fact, first Water/Rock that I love. High chance of surviving Shell Smash and can smack losers with Edge/Quake and Water? Yes please. And turtles are AWESOME

Brayze II: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/177/9/2/momoko_into_carracosta_tf_by_absolhunter251-d54zd8k.png

StifledSilence: Turtles can walk on their hind legs now too?

Ermine: Eh... It's alright

Raka_Putra: More stable and reliable than Archeops line, like the Veronica to Archeops' Betty…or however it goes.

Cybat: Shell Smash is fun but I don't really like his design as much - sorta hunched over and dour looking. And its name is too long.

ctesjbuvf: The design is a bit too simple and it brings nothing new to fossils, but it’s still pretty decent regardless.

Magmortar: that armor looks…off

Inviso: THIS will most definitely be in the top ten because of turtles being massive overrated. It's not terrible though, and I'd rather see this than Fatasstoise and Torterrible.

Anagram: We already have multiple turtle pokemon. Do we really need one whose focus is looking tanky? And with a type like rock/water! Ugh.

Logicblade: It's shell looks like a life jacket which seems counter productive…

Suor: If Inviso doesn't rank this this grandma turtle low I will laugh. At him.

Wigs: badass bug who I used in Gen 6

SanityLapse: It's common knowledge that centipedes are the greatest bug ever created. So what happens when you make a centipede the size of a horse? It stays awesome!

Logicblade: Could you imagine riding a Scolipede to work? It would be so cool! Plus he could beat up your dad's vehicle.

ctesjbuvf: Despite two types I don’t usually go for, The Pede one was incredible to use.

Scepter: The Human-sized Centipede

Brayze II: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liimqxDoT51qekruyo1_500.png

Ermine: Excellence.

Genny: When a concept is this magical, I don't give a damn if it sucks ass in battle. Luckily Scolipede does not, naturally learning a variety of powerful moves that perfectly utilize its stats and possessing the ability to learn several more through TMs. If I had to pick one thing on this near flawless pokémon to take issue with, I would point out that it doesn't look poisonous enough. Animals in nature advertise how dangerous they are with bright contrasting colors. Scolipede's violet-ringed and striped maroon carapace blend together a bit too well and almost looks dull. Its shiny coloration is perfect however. All hail the centaurpede.

Paratroopa1: I gave scolipede a ranking corresponding to the number of legs it has. scolipede doesn't have an odd number of legs? haha, that's what you think

KommunistKoala: An unexpected boss.

Suor: Centipedes are scary and Scolipede is no exception. It's also incredibly versatile in battle, has one of the best abilities in Speed Boost and one of the coolest shiny forms ever: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/177/0/f/shiny_scolipede___dw_art_by_muums-d3k2jaw.png

Natwaf: Speed Boost Scolipede is great, and fantastic design. For a bug. Bug what a bug! Unlike most of it's brethren, it's got options, and ****ing Baton pass.

Cybat: Gotta love when the early bug type turns out to be useful. Not ingame of course, but Speed Boost is always a welcome gift. I don't really like the way its body bends in all its poses as opposed to staying straight like a real centipede, but oh well. Also fun fact: this thing is 8 feet long. Goooood times.

Magmortar: okay, but I hate speed boost. I guess I actually like it.

Inviso: I appreciate several things about Scolipede, particularly the fact that it's much stronger than I'd expect of a Bug/Poison-type. It's just not amazing though.

Raka_Putra: And the winner for Pokemon I Least Want in My House goes to…..

XIII_Rocks: DA PEDE

Wicklebee: *lights a fire* It won't come near… it won't come near…

StifledSilence: The announcement of the Scolipede Derby being added to make it a Quadruple Crown is startling news.

Anagram: The anime requires a pokemon to be the giant wild monster thing the heroes run away from whenever a wild pokemon must get angry at the heroes. Scolipede is the one used for Gen 5.

Logicblade: From humble beginnings, few new a sick nasty crocodile would grow from this small little guy.

Anagram: I really wish it had an alternate evolution path where it evolved into a sundial.

Genny: This is my favorite three-stage line in pokémon history. Every member is utterly fantastic for one reason or another and it all starts here. What a cutie!

Inviso: The lowest of its line, Sandile is still pretty cute, as alligators/crocodiles usually are (Croconaw excepted.)

Wicklebee: I loved this thing the minute I saw it. Sure, Totodile better as a gator Poke, but Sandile a perfect sand croc.

Paratroopa1: pretty rad before he gets really awkward when he evolves

Cybat: It's sort of a shame that he premiered in the same gen as team preview. But I still completely love this gimmick. I'm not even that huge a fan of his weird ponytail-centric design, but the mind games you can play with this guy are just too much fun. Plus he gets a signature move!

XIII_Rocks: I really enjoyed using Zoroark. Night Daze is a really good move and then it has Flamethrower, Nasty Plot, Focus Blast etc.

Bane_Of_Despair: Keep the good color scheme, just grow and make into a werewolf-fox sort of thing. Total badass.

ctesjbuvf: It’s ability is fun as it makes for some good surprises if you use it well. Although pure dark is boring so not too close to the top.

Inviso: Shock boot? Yeah, despite the fact that Zoroark is an anthropormorphic fox (and is canonically female, what with the whole mother/child connection), it just doesn't do as much for me as you'd think. The method of obtaining one in BW is lame, and it's not particularly special in combat, unfortunately.

Logicblade: Ditto done right. This guy is acually really cool and crafty, and would be a fun pokemon to have.

Anagram: Zoroark is the Ghostbusters 2 of pokemon, except that it's not really that bad.

KommunistKoala: The new Lucario, so to speak. His ability is pretty interesting to say the least and he looks pretty cool. About the same spot as Lucario for me in terms of rank

Ermine: HERDIER

Genny: The Master of Illusions was a damn good movie by Pokémon standards, which is not saying a helluva lot (whoa I just got déjà vu), but I actually cared for the plight of Mama Zoroark and her telepathic (for some reason) son. I may not for the life of me understand why Zorua's tail migrates to the back of its head upon evolving, but I do understand a mother's love and that alone is enough to boost her species here.

Natwaf: Failed Lucario 2.0. Illusion is fun though. I love tricking people and AI with it, and it's very useful in my White playthrough. Towards the end, it started to peter out though. And I don't really like it's event.

Paratroopa1: shut up brayze I'll like what I want even dumb foxes

Magmortar: I wanted it to be in Smash Bros. really badly, but after it become obvious that would never happen, I have mostly stopped caring about it. What kind of idea was it to have the big Lucario thing for the gen initially be event only anyway?

OrangeCrush: Gamefreak screwed up by making it really blatant that Zoroark was just a Lucario ripoff.

Brayze II: www.weasyl.com/~zoruarukario/submission/585707/zoruarukario-zoroark-vores-lucario-2045579.jpg

Suor: Cool gimmick, if only team preview didn't make it useless.

Raka_Putra: Decent gimmick, but oy, that design is just so unlikeable. Too edgy, too dark, too similar to Lucario, bleargh.

Wicklebee: I pokemon that wanted to be Ditto, but can't fuck everything like Ditto can.

StifledSilence: Two of every creature boarded the Zoro Ark, but it was just an illusion.

SanityLapse: Terrible hair. Looks like some stupid anime shit. It's lucky there are a bunch of monkeys this gen.

Natwaf: Aww yeah Zekrom. Dat head, dat tail, dose stats! And we all know he has movepool problems, BUT WHO CARES JUST LOOKA T IT! Superior of the cover legends, Zekrom is by far the MVP of my post-game Mono-Electric team.

Genny: The best red eyes black dragon. If not for Suicune, Zekrom would be my favorite Legendary of all time. I try to avoid using them in-game because I view it as cheap tactics, but shit I saw this dragon when it was first revealed and I couldn't fucking resist. I knew I had to use one, and let me tell you it was a blast.

Cybat: OK yes I decided to get Pokemon White because this guy was on the cover. Butt turbine aside, this design is pretty effective for what they were going for. Black Kyurem is the better form too.

Ermine: I honestly like Zekky and Reshy both quite a bit. Two VERY solid legendaries for me and I feel they aren't going to do quite as well as they should. Underrated legendaries especially when they are surrounded by so much **** legends in this gen.

Anagram: Zekrom is the second best legendary dragon, which means basically nothing, since legendary dragons are almost entirely garbage.

Logicblade: Not as fluffy as Reshiram, and goes too hard toward edgy. Still not completely over the top though.

Raka_Putra: Best legendary this gen and it's not even close. It looks like an awesome dragon!

ctesjbuvf: Pretty good Pokemon all around, but no special relation to it from any anime or whatsoever as well as a boring one color design puts it below what other legendaries might’ve been.

XIII_Rocks: MECHA SLOWBRO is awesome.

Magmortar: At announcement, I was hoping for a Dark/Dragon. I didn’t get that but Electric/Dragon is just as good. But something about it is just really off to me. Probably the tail on this guy as well.

Suor: Nice butt-lantern.

Wicklebee: I thought it was cool originally, but then I felt penetrated.

Paratroopa1: very good chance to get #1, but I'll predict he got #2. zekrom for #2!

Inviso: Best of the three legendary dragons, but not by much, at least this thing KINDA looks like it fits the bill in terms of Electric/Dragon. I still think it sucks though, that this is probably the only Electric/Dragon we'll ever see (outside of Mega Ampharos).

Suor: THE BEST. My favorite pokémon, the ultimate bro. The Good Giant, Protector of people, Traveler of the skies. GOLURK will never place first like it would deserve, but nothing and I say NOTHING in this game will ever top the amazing feeling of playing with a Golurk, of having such a great ally on your team. This pic sums up why, if you're not placing Golurk as your top pokémon for this generation... you are f***ing wrong, man (or woman, because I know GenesisSaga will be wrong on this account too). http://www.quickmeme.com/img/95/95326963875e33e0efef210ab48b63022cccde66aaa2ebc6e95e4d4390900950.jpg

Magmortar: FLYING GIANT GHOST CLAY ROBOT holy shit this guy is amazing. I wanted a Ghost/Ground-type very badly at Gen 5’s point, and on that front, this guy works great (it can actually hurt things with physical Ghost STAB ooooooh man that’s really good).

BetrayedTangy: Along with my Number 2, Golurk joined my Pokemon Y team. I've always liked his design however I never got to use him in battle and when I did, I realized how bad he was. I'm not expecting him to make it far for this reason, but I still strongly support him. Despite him doing very little for my team.

Wicklebee: Ghosts are odd, I enjoy a good one in Pokemon yet I'm easily spooked IRL. Also, I just realized, what would they do with a Steel/Ghost Pokemon? I'd say something about the Poke, but I'm sure others will have the words necessary already.

Wigs: Not as cool as his lil bro but still keeps the design mostly

Natwaf: Fantastic design for Ghost Gigantor. Shame Golem was already used by something else, but Lurks befits it more. I seem to recall catching a few Hidden Ability ones from my Friend Safari back in Y for you guys. It also kicks ass, Ghost and Ground are excellent. Best of all... IT FLIES! Don't **** with Not Iron Giant.

Anagram: I used it pretty much because I wanted to use something that could fly but I disliked Unfezant. I think I ended up using Unfezant anyway come Black 2.

Logicblade: Hahaha the name gets me every time. Plus he can learn fly, that's ridiculous.

Scepter: Golurk would probably be my best friend in real life

Cybat: Wait, what game am I playing? This thing comes out of nowhere and it's pretty great. Naturally, he was my Fly slave in White.

Raka_Putra: "I think I should post more about mecha-golem-ghost-Pokemon," "Nah, you should go lurk instead."

ctesjbuvf: Solid ugly thing, but it brings a new twist to rock types with it’s ghost type, so there’s some renewed interesting in-game experience with it.

StifledSilence: Get out of here and go lurk.

Genny: Mer's Bidoof-style comics and ages of Suor telling me how great it is finally convinced me to try out the ghost golem. It's pretty good I must admit; it learns some cool moves. I've recently come around on the Iron Giant-esque design too. It's okay by me.

Inviso: People like this, and I get why…but it's just not my cup of tea. Points for the hilarity of this thing being able to learn Fly though.

Ermine: Awful Pokemon #59. If you want to find a good pokemon, go lurk somewhere else!

Paratroopa1: dumb abstract nonsense but a little bigger

StifledSilence: This thing is so hardcore, it sits there waiting for you like it's a legendary. In fact, until I looked it up online, I thought it WAS a legendary. With those stats, it might as well be. Quiver Dance, Flamethrower, Bug Buzz, and Hurricane. GET OUT THE WAY! Plus did I mention how cool it looks? It's shadow and evil looking, yet those blue eyes could also be very soothing. The color scheme is absolutely perfect as well. Gen 5 made a lot of awful Pokemon, but Volcarona is one of my all time favorites. Good job!

Anagram: It's no small feat to be extremely good when you have a x4 rock weakness and a weakness to water, but Volcarona manages it. I love the sun design of its wings, I love how it takes something normally gross (big furry bugs) and makes it cool and appealing, and I even like the little black dots all over its body. Alder chose well for being the first champion with a signature mon that wasn't a pseudo-legendary.

Logicblade: Larvesta but even more floofy. I love it. I want a whole bed of these guys.

KommunistKoala: This is one hot bug.

OrangeCrush: He's probably the Pokemon that's been part of my active party the most for the past 4 years for 2 obvious reasons.

Cybat: Although it loses a few points for being a little chubby, this thing has a great design, great name, great typing (except where entry hazards are concerned), and a great signature move. Sadly it is the signature Pokemon of the lamest champion, but, hey, can't win 'em all.

Wicklebee: It has a move only it learns. And it looks cool/has a nice typing.

Genny: Even if Volcarona weren't amazing in battle I'd be sold on the amazing fanart of it alone. If you haven't checked it out I suggest you Google it right now. What a fantastic treat. Truly Volcarona is as beautiful as it is deadly, and as a bonus, it is capable of learning literally all of my favorite Fire type moves. Every single one.

Natwaf: I remember this one time, I asked somebody on this board to make a fusion between Volcarona and Garchomp. The result was awesome, but I didn't save a pic of it :(. Anyway, Volcarona! Many people claim it's the/a Pseudo -Legend of Unova, but it's not. That doesn't mean it's bad, on the contrary, it's a great pokemon! It has access to Quiver Dance, and trust me on this, you don't want to get hit by it's sky-high stats. Leaving aside it's battle prowess, it also has use as a breeder thanks to it's ability and access to Fly. Truly a bug you don't want to mess with. For being an awful Champion, Alder has excellent choice for his main pokemon

Brayze II: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/336/a/7/volcarona_by_elpatrixf-d6wkajt.png

Paratroopa1: serious write up: it's really cool that instead of their usual go-to of dragons or other big scary monster for a rare pokemon with really high stats, they went with a really cool fiery moth concept. volcarona is really cool and just a fantastic design, good job game freak

ctesjbuvf: Cool type combination. Would probably be higher if a game allowed you to train this through the game. Larvesta evolves too late for you to just trade one over.

Ermine: I think it's kinda cool, the only thing is that this pokemon seems completely devoid of any personality whatsoever.

Magmortar: There is nothing good in that design to me. Yeah it is a good battler but sometimes I can’t look past that. And a friend of mine used this guy a lot and it was more annoying than I would expect.

Raka_Putra: Mothrarona.

Inviso: This is one that I'm sure will make the top ten, but I don't care. It doesn't appeal to me. The design looks stupid and Volcarona needs to decide whether or not it wants to be a legendary.

Scepter: Gen 5 was the first generation where I followed all the pre-game release CoroCoro leaking stuff. I'll never forget how excited I was when I finally saw the final form of Oshawott I had been waiting to see for months. It paid off

XIII_Rocks: A great starter. I was all about the Serperior family when they were first revealed but Serp turned out to be such a massive disappointment. Meanwhile Samurott stepped up, combining serviceable stats with a great look (shells as shortswords yessss) and great moves like Megahorn. Swords Dance, Waterfall, Megahorn and either Ice Beam or Aqua Jet is a really solid moveset.

KommunistKoala: The only fully evolved starter from this gen that isn't trash. Quite the opposite!

Inviso: It's an otter and a samurai combined into one awesome package. What's not to love about that? Especially since the moustache makes him look utterly badass.

Cybat: He became my favorite starter of this gen sort of by default, and also because of the surprising lack of good Water Pokemon otherwise. But the reason he got this high was his animation in the 3DS Pokedex app where he pulls a sword out of the scabbard out of his other arm. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2SD8ibBork) Made me appreciate the overall design a lot more.

ctesjbuvf: Excellent starter too. Good choice due to the lack of useful water types this game has. Great in-game experience.

OrangeCrush: In retrospect, the Gen V starters were actually pretty good, it's just that the Gen V games themselves didn't do them justice. Serperior and Emboar needed their Dream World abilities to be relevant, but had to wait half a decade to get them legitimately (while Greninja was allowed to wreak havoc with Protean on day one). Meanwhile, Samurott seems like generic bulky water #3298 in the DS games, but if you saw him in Pokedex 3D or Gen VI, you'd be aware of his SHELL SWORDS!!!!

Raka_Putra: I like the quirky quadripedal samurai-inspired design. I should try using him one of these days.

Anagram: Samurott is good on its own, but I really wish Oshawott's final form actually looked like it. Like it's a solid design, just not for the purpose it's used for.

Logicblade: Chunky but cool.

Ermine: Not the final form Otter we were all hoping for... but still pretty cool in his own right. Just wish the evolution chain made sense >_>

StifledSilence: I've gotta say, I'm not a big fan of the starter Pokemon in this gen. Sammy is one of the better ones in this group, but likely would be a midcarder in other gens.

Natwaf: Least of the starters. I don't like the design, despite the stache, and ugh the stats. I'm not sure what role nice guy has out of the many, many, MANY mono-water types.

Genny: What the what?? I'm not going to hate it for being so vastly different from the rest of its line. I mean at least it still keeps the sword theme. But what in the world? Why'd my otter turn into a sea lion? Why's my biped now a quadruped? Why the spiky ice cream cone? These are the questions that demand answers! Well, you were never going to top perfection, but you're still good.

Magmortar: Doesn’t exactly strike me as a samurai. Just some weird giant otter with…a horn. Next.

Genny: So Dewott... Where do I begin? Well it has my favorite design of any pokémon, and design obviously means a lot to me but not everything. I'd be lying if I said this was always the case however. When it was first revealed I thought to myself "Hey that's pretty cute" and moved on quickly. It wasn't until I happened upon the fanart that it went from good to G.O.A.T. status. I have a collection of no less than 50 examples, but I'll spare you guys the abuse. Eh... okay just one; the one that got me to take notice of it in the first place: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/046/8/3/502___dewott_by_siegeevans-d39nrr9.jpg I think I've already mentioned this, but if Ash's Oshawott managed to evolve into a Dewott and retain his personality, Dewott would be hands down my favorite pokémon. What I probably didn't mention is that it's already even with Arcanine, making it tied for #1 in my heart. It simply would have pulled away with the lead. I love Dewott that much. In conclusion: http://i.imgur.com/RfMaU1Q.png

Bane_Of_Despair: One of my favorite mid-starters, was a perfect evolution of Oshawott of adding on while still retaining what was great about Oshawott.

Scepter: The first Poke since gen 1 that convinced my to buy a plush

Ermine: Not the best Otter... that's Buizel by quite a large margin, but Dewott is great in his own right!

Anagram: Dewott and Wartortle are the only mid evolution starters I like more than the first stage versions.

Wicklebee: The obvious favorite of Genny for this Generation, and it her love forced us to look at it. What did I see? I saw potential of fighting-type actually ignored by Gamefreak (and attacked for the 800th time to the Fire-type, but that's not what this is about). An otter ready to rip its opponents apart with shells. This is definitely my second favorite middle evo.

Inviso: Adorable. I love that it uses shells like swords and it just manages to make a Water-type look cute for once ('cause mammal instead of fish/amphibian/reptile/bird).

Logicblade: Ok Dewott is the best starter in the generation. I've been convinced. One of the middies that outshines the rest of his line.

BetrayedTangy: Dewott is hands down the coolest of the Gen V starters. He's also probably one of the few that'll actually make it far this Gen.

Cybat: This guy and Grovyle are far and away the best middle stage starter forms. Otters are cool.

Brayze II: http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2014/050/e/4/dewott_tickle_by_theultimateandi-d774pov.png

Raka_Putra: Genny's lady-boner rubbed off of me. I mean, it is miles better than Oshawott's sorry facial features. And I drew it twice already! Twice! I don't even do that for most of my waifus.

Paratroopa1: just dewott

OrangeCrush: I see Futachimaru/Dewott as being the Grovyle of this gen. Solid, but has an annoying cult following that praises him while hating the rest of the line.

ctesjbuvf: This thing is cool looking, good in battle as long as you have it, but it’s still a middle form, so no higher than this.

Suor: While it is highly overrated on this board, this was the correct direction the line should've followed and it is kind of cool. Sad that it evolves into garbage made worse by how it ruined the whole concept.

StifledSilence: watever dewott es dum

Magmortar: …next.

ecksgem: Oh, you don't like Snivy? Snivy doesn't give a shit. Best grass starter, easy.

Raka_Putra: Smugleaf! Still so good even 6 years later.

Anagram: Snivy looks so ****ing smug, I love it.

Inviso: Smugleaf JUST misses out on the top 10 because there's already three spots taken up by starters in there. Still, it's just so smug and amazing.

Cybat: The speculation about Smugleaf when the starter forms were first revealed was so much fun. His actual evolutionary line didn't work out so well but that doesn't take anything away from how awesome this guy knows he is.

Brayze II: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/346/8/a/master_academy_snivy_by_toamac-d4iyj40.png

Wicklebee: My little Nagini can't be this SMUG. He doesn't care that you don't like him, Nick.

ctesjbuvf: Smugleaf is badass. Look at that style it has. The anime makes it clear.

Suor: SMUGLEAF, best grass starter line and anyone who claims otherwise is in denial.

Ermine: Smug

KommunistKoala: I want to hate Smugleaf because he was a misleading sign of hope for things to come from this generation. But he's too damn smug to hate.

BetrayedTangy: Snivy is so cool, he just looks so sly and smarmy, one of the few Gen V starters with personality.

Natwaf: His NFE Trash legend began in the 12th Century. EXCALIBAAAAAAA, EXCALIBAAAAAA, from the United Kingdom, I'm looking for heaven, I'm going to Californiaaaaaaa

Genny: I never liked the whole Smugleaf thing. Like... you're a Grass type starter. You're like the worst option off the bat. Don't be so damn conceited about it. But Ash's changed my mind. Ash's Snivy is just aces in the anime. Eventually I picked one for my playthrough of Black 2 and it learns some great moves early on. Unfortunately that potential kinda goes nowhere but that's a writeup for another day.

Logicblade: I guess there will be 32 mentions of "smugleaf" including this one in all of the Snivy writeups.

Wigs: this guy is pretty mediocre but he's not as dumb as everyone says

StifledSilence: This is the baby the doctor got a sense of satisfaction over slapping.

Magmortar: Yes. I fucking get it. It has a grin. Who cares? Exactly.

Suor: I just love how spiky Zebstrika is. I'm not a huge fan of zebras IRL but everything about Zebstrika is simply cool, starting with the name: ZebSTRIKA. It has this amazing, STRIKING sound to it. Of course, a white-striped black zebra with a spiky mane that runs like lightning... There are few things I could like more than it.

Wigs: I'm a sucker for the spikey electric types

Wicklebee: We also have an electric zebra Pokemon. This gen has such greatness.

StifledSilence: Zebro! For all the stupid ideas this generation had, an electric zebra is really cool.

KommunistKoala: In terms of power the zebras leave a lot to be desired but they're still cool looking zebra pokemon,

Logicblade: Aka Thunder Horse. *headbangs to Dethklok*

Ermine: I feel like Zebstrika doesn't really get the love he deserves. He's a pretty cool poke.

Inviso: It's a zebra and it's electric. I think it's a bit overrated since there are far better Electric-types around, but it's a pretty solid design, plus R.I.P. Jordan, Mimi will never 4get u.

Cybat: "Electric zebra with lightning bolt stripes" is such a perfect Pokemon concept that I had to use one ingame. He has a pretty disappointing movepool though. And I dunno, there's something off about his head.

OrangeCrush: His name sounds like Ghebstrika.

ctesjbuvf: It’s pretty good, and I like Zebras. It needs to be said that learning Flame Charge is no excuse to not have a fire type, but a good electric type it is.

SanityLapse: Pretty cool idea to have zebra stripes in zigzags to represent electricity. Also zebras kick ass.

Raka_Putra: You can iron your clothes with them! Just ask Natwaf.

Genny: I love the contrast between friendly-looking Blitzle, and fierce-looking Zebstrika. It's like Lil' Zebro's childhood is behind it and it's been toughened up by an unforgiving world... but enough fanfiction. Half its Pokédex entries mention it being ill-tempered so you know it takes a very skilled trainer to tame one. Makes ME wanna be that trainer!

Anagram: I give a lot of credit to Zebstrika's design. I don't like it THAT much, but I really like stripes that look like lightning bolts, and I think the cleverness more than makes up for anything else bad about the pokemon.

Brayze II: i42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/Commander_Pigg/art3/mustardshippingpic.png

Natwaf: Mini-Zekrom, in that it has all the problems Zekrom (and Electric types in general) has, but doesn't have the AWESOME BST to back it up. I mean, Flame Charge? Sure, let's boost the stat that it DOESN'T need. Elesa's Zebstrika was super annyoing too, with it's damn Volt Switch and me not finding a ground-type yet. I think I lost to her the first time, despite having a Gigalith from a GTS trade.

Paratroopa1: oh for fuck's sake, a zebra whose stripes are lightning bolts is like, the most fanart-y thing you could've come up with, I'm pretty sure I've already seen this concept before

Magmortar: Zebstrika is an annoying and generally awful zebra that evolves from an annoying and generally awful zebra.

KommunistKoala: My favorite dragon after Kingdra. It was love at first sight and I originally didn't think I could like anything more from this gen.

ecksgem: He's honestly a bit funky looking, but I love the design and color scheme and name and he's just so cool.

Logicblade: Well… this is the epitome of Darkfang Dragonmons. I think I'm still 6 at heart when it comes to pokemon sometimes. It has heads for hands! That's so cool in the dumbest way!

XIII_Rocks: Even putting aside Hydreigon's excellent design, obvious cool factor, unique typing, great stats and diverse movepool - all of which I'm sure will be covered by Nick, or others with actual taste - Hydreigon has my second-favourite name in the franchise (after Charizard, which has the best everything). It's excellent. It manages to be a three-way portmanteau of "hydra" (the mythical creature with multiple heads), "drei" (the german word for three) and "dragon" (self-explanatory), which is just so clever and a cut above the usual standards of Pokemon names. I'd have loved Hydreigon even if it was called Melvin, but the clever name is what takes it from being a good Pokemon and one of the better pseudo-legendaries to a great Pokemon and, in my book, the best psuedo-legendary. It's even a better name than Rhyperior, and you know if a name is better than Rhyperior you're on to something.

ctesjbuvf: It’s great to have something to evolve late game. Thing is a beast and fairy wasn’t a thing at the time.

Raka_Putra: Look at him with his adorable tiny socks friends, aww, yes, you go play with your friends. Or maybe I like him so much because Druddigon is an embarrassment.

Anagram: I love how the anime repeatedly insists that pkoemon can't be evil, but then the games make things like Hydreigon.

Natwaf: The Pseudo-Legend of Unova. Let me tell ya, it's about DAMN time we got a special user. I remember PWT, I marched in there with my team of Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon, and we kicked all kinds of ass there. There's a very weird synergy at work with these poke, even though it's loaded with Dragons. It's in triples where hydreigon shined though. I open with Salamence in the middle with Intimidate and Rock-Slide everybody to flinch, Dragonite, either attacks or Dance, and Hydreigon is the sniper, killing off weakened opponents. Too bad Fairy came to existence and pretty much neutered it's threat. Tough luck hydra. Also, Ghetsis's was easy to beat.

Inviso: This does NOT look like a rubber chicken. It manages to take two of the worst Pokemon in the generation and make it worth training them, because Hydreigon just looks badass, and looks fiercesome and intimidating.

Cybat: I forget where I first saw someone talk about this guy wearing sock puppets, but I cannot get it out of my head now. http://shadeofshinon.deviantart.com/art/Master-of-Sock-Puppets-305170076 He's also very sad about the Fairy type's existence. But despite all that he is pretty sweet; being a Dark/Dragon will get you pretty far.

Genny: What can I say? I guess I just love my Darkfang Dragonmons! Nah, but I have more nostalgic reasoning too. So there's this PSX-era classic I want you all to know about called Jade Cocoon. Imagine a pokémon game where you run through the forest capturing strange and powerful beasts using music instead of balls. You still with me? Now imagine once you've gained more than one instead of breeding Female Monster X and Male Monster Y to get tiny Child Monster X with some of Y's moves you can merge Monsters X and Y to get Monster Z, which is exactly what it sounds like: A perfect blend of the two that borrows stats, moves, typing, and appearances from both "parents" (really the two donor monsters have just fused). That's Jade Cocoon in a nutshell but of course there's plot behind it. Very good game; unfortunately the main game is very short, maybe only 15 hours if you rush it. However there's a optional forest after the game ends with infinite (?) floors. What does any of this have to do with Hydreigon, you ask? Well it reminds me of one of said monsters in that optional infinite forest: latest?cb=20121226113458. I played around with Swav a lot, trying to get a perfectly proportioned three-headed dragon like Hydreigon but couldn't quite manage it. I'll admit it was pretty fun trying though. I wonder how this guy got this skin...: latest?cb=20130326171238

StifledSilence: Wow, there are a lot of dragons this time around. This guy looks pretty intimidating. I like it.

Brayze II: http://38.media.tumblr.com/b086d017352f341fc14a0baf65b7b120/tumblr_mkmukrmtmX1qixd7uo1_r1_1280.png

Wigs: I imagine he's going to beat his pre-evos so I don't have a problem spoiling I like his other guys more. They have fun goofy heads.

Magmortar: darkfang dragonmon, etc.

Ermine: HERDIER

Paratroopa1: oh hi you're horrifying

Suor: Kitchen dragon synopsis. http://oi50.tinypic.com/33acw7a.jpg

Wicklebee: Someone still likes playing with sock puppets of ITS OWN FACE apparently.

Raka_Putra: I used to have this kinda prejudice against physical attackers and dragons but I tried using Haxorus one time and it felt good, real good. 10/10 would use again.

Scepter: More like hax0rs it's so strong

Natwaf: Awesome name, awesome look, awesome moves. Looks like a Kaiju, and that's a big bonus to me. And I do believe this is the first FE Mono-Dragon. And what a dragon! Dat sky high attack, which can be made even scarier with Sword/Dragon Dance, and it has access to Outrage and Earthquake. Scary, scary stuff. Very useful in White, where it tore apart any dragons... and actually pretty much anything in it's way.

XIII_Rocks: Straight-up destructive power. There's no substitute. Also awesome tusks

ctesjbuvf: Strong dragon powerhouse, but not anything previous dragons didn’t have, which is why it isn’t closer to the top.

Inviso: In terms of final form mono-Dragons, you could do a lot worse than Haxorus. No double weaknesses like every other Dragon pseudo-legendary, and strong attack to boot. I just like other things more, sorry.

Cybat: Kind of disappointing abilities and stat distribution, but even so he is pretty enjoyable. Can't go wrong with an ax-face dino-dragon, right?

Brayze II: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/074/e/c/haxorus__attack_rose__by_panscolipede-d5y6kzi.png

KommunistKoala: A cool dragon. I didn't use him much since I went with Hydreigon, but he certainly blows Druddigon out of the water.

Genny: I haven't really thought about it, but Haxorus is probably my favorite Dragon-type design. It manages to look dragonic without even fitting any of the typical descriptions of European or Asian dragons, and it doesn't even have wings. I guess you could say it more closely resembles a bipedal dinosaur, but I think it carries itself like a dragon. Rock on, Zombie Haxorus~

Logicblade: *gasp* You're cheating!

Anagram: I played so much Starcraft as a kid, and let me tell you, I saw "haxxor" quite a bit.

Ermine: It's OK

StifledSilence: Zombie Haxorus

Paratroopa1: he's a dragon with an axe face I mean yeah ok

Suor: Honestly pretty average as far as cool dragonmons go. Average in every way, even. Deserves an average placement.

junglebob22: I'd be more okay with Haxorus if it wasn't that nasty green

PrinceKaro: Lost pokedex entries #12: Haxorus, the l33t pok3m0n! th1s p0k3 0wnz j00 4nd r0x0rs ur b0x0rs w1th s0x0rs 4n g14n dsfk4902m wr94ikgfdg04kfldgf 011011000101001101

Magmortar: It is hideous, has a terrible name, and I really hate dealing because there is absolutely no reason why the then-most OP type since Gen 1 Psychic needed that much attack.

Wicklebee: Too much hax.

Genny: This cat could not look any cooler even if it tried, and the thing is it doesn't need to. I fell in love with it just by looking at its official artwork which I am of course going to post now: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/d/d4/552Krokorok.png Does any pokémon have better official artwork? Seriously, I challenge you all to find one that's objectively better and you all fail because one doesn't exist. I could go on for minutes on just that one pic, but I'm gonna move on now. Krokorokorokorok has a name that is fun to say. It might not be the most creative or most apt name out there, but you can't deny that it's not fun to say unless you're dead inside. Anyway Krokorok and its evolutionary family combine two of my favorite types in Dark and Ground and all three look the part. Fantastic line, but Krok is far and away my favorite. Holy frijoles I haven't even mentioned Ash's! Ash's Krokorok who I think he caught as a Sandile wears a pair of sunglasses like his Squirtle. Only Sandile's line already has a natural glare- reducing dark patch surrounding its eyes. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? http://cdn2.scratch.mit.edu/get_image/gallery/246132_170x100.png?v=1378000256.03 MOTHER OF GOD, YOU'RE CORRECT. Ash's Krokorok actually wears sunglasses over its sunglasses. It's really a thing. That's actually an actual thing! I better stop now I'm starting to sound like XIII.

junglebob22: Pure cool in Pokemon form

Steiner: This guy carried me through the mid game and is a big part of the reason I fell in love with the cast of BW

Bane_Of_Despair: Mini-badass in the making

Ermine: The middle of a fantastic line.

Inviso: One of the few times where Genny is right about a middle evolution. Krokorokorokorokorok is fun to say, and looks cool without being too overboard like Krookodile.

Wicklebee: *insert Genny's comment here* The name is just that funny.

Logicblade: Smug Sandile. Smug pokemon are sometimes cool.

Suor: Anime Krokorok is the example that everything can be made better with sunglasses.

ctesjbuvf: Highest middle evolution, so that’s something. It’s badass like it’s family, but it’s still a middle evolution.

Cybat: Yeah, I like this guy better than his dad. I just really dislike the switch to red; it looks unnatural and not as appealing. Crocodiles are cool.

Anagram: I play too much pokemon. When that Russian drug came out, named crocodill or something like that, all I could think of was this.

Raka_Putra: Krok krok krok rok korok krok korok

OrangeCrush: Braviary/Wargle is one of those Pokemon I wanted to use in the original B/W, but never bothered because Rufflet doesn't evolve until level 1776. Thankfully, White 2 fixed this by having a wild Braviary after the 3rd gym. While he's no Staraptor, he was still pretty good and that secured him a top 5 position.

Anagram: Americaaaa, **** yeah, coming to save the mother****ing day, yeah!

KommunistKoala: God bless the America and god bless Braviary.

Suor: MUH AMERICA!!! No wonder Braviary is so loved, it looks so strong and fierce and is overall awesome. I also love its stat combination that makes it more the bulky-but-still-powerful type of bird to compensate the generic typing.

Logicblade: America Bird! This should have been the last form of the classic pidgey line you get. But no, we had to get pidove. Well I have hacks, and hacks are what Freedom Bird stands for.

ctesjbuvf: The American bird is great, although I think it would be nice to have it earlier.

Raka_Putra: I like to be in America!
O.K. by me in America!
Ev'rything free in America
For a small fee in America!

Wicklebee: Murica

Ermine: I used to like him a lot more when he was first announced and when I first played Gen 5. He's fallen quite a large amount.

Magmortar: WAR BIRD

Inviso: Excel keeps deleting my apostrophe so I'm adding this line. That being said, *clears throat* 'MURICA!

Paratroopa1: SCREAMING EAGLES

Natwaf: Ahh, Unova's flag animal. Probably. Can't quite forgive it for stopping my Super Triples Team in the Maison, along with Ampharos and Hawlucha. Brave Bird HURTS. That said, it's still a great Normal/Flying, but why is it so late in the game? At least in White 2 you can get an early Defiant one.

Cybat: I like Wargle better. But now that I look at it it actually has better base stats than I realized. Still pretty uninteresting abilities and movepool, but hey, not every country gets their own Pokemon.

Genny: Honestly it's pretty great, just not one of my all-time favorites. I think the internet overrates it immensely. Kick ass design, but so much work you have to put into it after practically already beating the game. It's not great enough to justify being available so late, nor is it unique enough. I wish it were anything but Normal/Flying- maybe Fighting/Flying since it's partially based on Native American warriors who were famous for their fighting spirit. Even the Pokédex mentions their fighting spirit! What a missed opportunity.

StifledSilence: It sounds like one of Cloud Strife's limit breaks.

Logicblade: This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Don't be afraid of spiders, they just want snuggles.

Inviso: This is the highest I will probably ever rank a NFE Pokemon in any generation, because it is just the cutest goddamn little bug I've ever seen. Everything about Joltik is adorable. It looks fluffy. It has the little W mouth. It's cute two tiny eyes in addition to the big ones (so it doesn't look creepy like you would normally expect from a spider). And it evolves into something still awesomer, just not as much. I love this little guy and hope he wins best NFE for this generation.

Genny: Oh. Em. Gee. If you don't think this is the cutest bug you are probably blind because that is the only way to make sense of such wrongness tydhsdrftgyhu;ilykjdtshredftgyhu AAAAH I LOVE IT everything about Joltik is adorable and perfect and fdxnccdfQWEAytf I can't even type my thoughts out right now because I'm too busy thinking about adorable spider-ticks that leech static electricity and I'd let 5 Joltiks attach themselves to me right now if they were real oh god why can't they be real I would pay all the money in the world to have just twenty trust me I would FIND A WAY okay next writeup *^w^*

Ermine: HOLY **** THIS THING IS ADORABLE. LIKE WORDS CANNOT... THEY CANNOT!!! http://puu.sh/gRU63/6e3d0884bc.jpg Just look at this. LOOK AT THAT FACE! You are now dying of cute overload.

KommunistKoala: I generally prefer fully evolved pokemon over NFEs, but my feelings for the exceptions are usually pretty strong. Joltik is amazing and so cute <3.

Suor: Cutest pokémon ever. Anyone arguing against it is wrong. Luckily Tsunami doesn't taint this contest with his godawful opinions IIRC. http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/042/0/d/joltik_nom_by_fox_feathers-d39b0n2.png

ecksgem: How are you so tiny?! Stop being so cute.

Cybat: Didn't make a big impression on me at first, but yeah, all the fanart and whatnot has convinced me; this guy is super cute. Also it turns out it's only four inches long, which ties it for the smallest Pokemon. ...That's still pretty big for a tick though.

ctesjbuvf: Kinda cute and interesting. Small bugs are usually boring, but Joltik is different. It’s unique.

Wicklebee: Trying to make a spider cute. *stomp*

Anagram: I hate spiders, but it's hard to deny that Joltik is one of the cutest things out there.

Natwaf: ADORABLE! Still NFE Trash

Magmortar: Honestly? Whatever, give me the big spider any day over this little shit.

KommunistKoala: The best ghost of all time. Plain and simple.

Inviso: I love Fire-types, and Chandelure is definitely a high-quality representative of its typing. It's actually sad because Chandelure and Darmanitan exist in the same generation, meaning I could only choose one for my initial runthrough of the game. Chandelure is slightly superior though, 'cause special attackers are just more fun than physical attackers. Plus the ORG I've referenced in both my Litwick and Lampent write-ups happened and I fully evolved into Chandelure, showmanced Gengar and them beat him out for a spot in the final 2, where I wrecked Mamoswine and won the whole game. It was awesome. So nice to be a challenge dominator for once.

ecksgem: A superb Pokemon with a beautiful design and unique typing. All around fantastic.

Cybat: Now this is how you design an "object" Pokemon. Totally eerie and badass, with scary Sp.Atk to boot. Too bad it never actually got Shadow Tag.

Steiner: I was really struggling my first time through the elite four in black. Then I trained up this thing. Holy shit.

Raka_Putra: I'm gonna swing from the Chandelure, Chandelure http://s29.postimg.org/y7o5bpenn/Chandelure.jpg

ctesjbuvf: Worth training. Creative and fun design. Enjoyable to use.

XIII_Rocks: THE POWER RIEHTUOBIEVWPRTHORTWEFPQITHTB4ROFIEDSOPFWIEG4 I remember looking through the new Pokemon and all their base stats when the game was released and everything was dumped onto Serebii, seeing "base 147 SpA" and marking the fuck out. So awesome. Also looks great, nice typing too and Shadow Tag. Also Chandler Bing.

Magmortar: It’s typing is just so COOL and it and that massive Special Attack stat let it just totally wreck things. I like Infiltrator on it too, Scarflure made a nice revenge killer in my early gen 6 all-Fire team since it often hit hard enough to not gaf about a sub even with Timid/scarf. Also has the great distinction of being a special ‘mon that can actually beat Chansey/Blissey (if it gets a sub up, good luck breaking one).

Wicklebee: Like this, we have a candle-> lamp -> chandelere Pokemon chain and it's fire/ghost. This is excellent.

StifledSilence: This line was a dumb idea but the end result was actually really cool.

Natwaf: This thing is AWESOME! Fantastic offensive typing, spooky design, insane stats, it's only downfall is it's speed. Bummer. But man this thing KICKS ASS.

Brayze II: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/051/7/a/helias___chandelure_gijinka_by_mrmootles-d4qgoig.png

Ermine: Chandelure is really freaking cool and if you can't understand that from a design perspective then you are objectively wrong. Ermine appreciates Chandelure.

Suor: This is one of the crazy pokémon ideas that ultimately turn out to be amazing. It's a lot like Aegislash in that regard. Ghost pokémon are just awesome, man.

Anagram: One of the few pokemon where the shiny design is so much better than the regular design. I'd love a pumpkin-looking Chandelure.

Wigs: Ash was Chandelured into his deadly trap

OrangeCrush: Shandera/Chandelure has a cool design and threatened to dominate the metagame with Shadow Tag.

Genny: It has one of the greatest cries of this generation, and of its line I like the look of its flames the most. It's eerie in a good way, but not the best. In fact I think both Litwick and Lampent have creepier lore surrounding them, though nothing comes close to Banette or Yamask.

Logicblade: Fun fact… Chandelure is not a Lure.

OrangeCrush: This #1 wasn't as clear cut as Manectric or Staraptor, but the more I thought about Excadrill/Doryuuzu, the more I realized he deserved it. Good design, great in battle, great level up movepoll, named after the legendary Excalibur, finds his way on a lot of my teams, disobeys Iris in the anime, etc. Lots to love about this guy, and very little to dislike.

Inviso: Here we have a Pokemon so power that it became the second regular Pokemon (as opposed to a pseudo-legendary) to get banned from Smogon's OU ruleset. It's extremely strong…ludicrously so. I mean, it's already got passable speed, but then you add in Sand Rush to double its speed in Sandstorms (which provide other problems for opponents), and then they just get wrecked in combat. I had the good fortune to catch an Adamant Drilbur, so my Excadrill rocked face throughout my BW playthrough, and was a huge star.

XIII_Rocks: Awesome, powerful, looks cool, very accessible in-game. Gen V had a bunch of Pokemon like this (Krook and Darmanitan being the obvious two) and Exca is a prime example. There's no true substitute for having power and looking good while using it.

Ermine: If Excadrill didn't have the huge top drill thing on his head he'd probably be one of my favorite pokes. The top drill is very distracting and takes a little bit away from his amazingness. I still like him quite a lot, but I just feel like they were trying to do too much to make him stand out.

Genny: I've seen Iris's Excadrill compared to early-anime Ash's Charizard before and I completely disagree. Her Excadrill has a much better reason for not wanting to fight but I'm not going to spoil it here. From what I've heard Iris's Dragonite fits that mold a lot better. Anyway I like Excadrill for pretty much the same reasons I like Zangoose even though it's nowhere near as cute, nor does it have a rival. He just looks like a total badass that can and will fuck your shit up if you look at him the wrong way and I love it. The stats are only moderately above average, but that potential movepool goes on for days.

KommunistKoala: At this point I've come to the realization that there were a lot of steel pokemon here. Or at least it feels like it. The Batman to T-Tar's Robin in competitive, Excadrill is cool.


ecksgem: Excadrill is just a rock star. Super dependable in battle and looks great.

Wicklebee: This Pokemon is the drill that will pierce the heavens. His color is kinda bleh, but that look is intense.

Natwaf: GIGA! DRILL! BREEEEEEAAAAAKKKKKK! By far the superior mole (Sorry Dugtrio), this thing is awesome. High Attack and ****ing DEADLY in a Sandstorm (go for the speed boosting one), this thing got banned IIRC. Steel provides useful resistances, though here's a bit of a trivia: Sandslash will most likely beat Excadrill in a one on one.

Raka_Putra: His legend dates back to 2010 AD, thank you very much.

Logicblade: The name is on the nose, but the power, unreal.

Cybat: Sand Rush is pretty terrifying, especially for a Pokemon with such good stat distribution and movepool. He does have some unfortunate weaknesses, but he also looks pretty badass, so overall a pretty solid Pokemon.

Anagram: Excadrill isn't bad, but when the anime tried to turn it into the new Charizard, all I could think was "it's a mole. Charizard is a dragon."

Paratroopa1: armored armadillo is the best mega man x boss

Magmortar: always thought the design was…trying too hard, but it is really hard to deny that power. Probably one of the only cases where something I used on an in-game team is one where I actually prefer the pre-evolution.

ctesjbuvf: It’s pretty good, but the anime drags it down quite a bit. They try to portray as a badass, but how it ends up being loyal to Iris doesn’t really work well and then it’s just used to win easy battles. It’s not really its own fault, but it also only drags it down a few spots.

Suor: I would like Excadrill more if it didn't look a bit like an angry clown. Drilling is always cool of course.

Brayze II: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/208/8/b/excadrill_paw_massage_by_shadow985-d58rir8.jpg

StifledSilence: The look of murderous rage on this thing's face is legit frightening.

Wigs: this guy is right around the cutoff (pun intended) for the guys I don't mind from the guys I don't really like.

ctesjbuvf: Amazingly fun to use and badass looking too especially with the anime

XIII_Rocks: Such a goddamn badass and if Krook isn't in at least the top 5 I'll be shocked and disappointed.

KommunistKoala: This damn crocodile has got too much swag.

Wicklebee: Swiper no sw- and then Dora gets chomped and is processed into MORE DAMAGE for Krookodile. MWAHAHAHA.

Raka_Putra: The skull of this thing looks so dope, I'd bet.

Bane_Of_Despair: Absolutely pulls the shades off, and even without still a crazy ass cool crocodile.

Ermine: The end of a fantastic line.

Logicblade: Crocodilians are always done well in the pokemon series. Waruvile is no exception. Also the rare case where I like the japanese name way more than the english name.

Suor: THE KROOK is honestly one of the coolest pokémon around, one of the highest quality lines ever.

Steiner: Krok looked so cool and swaggy and then he just got big red and angry looking still great but less so.

Wigs: bit of a bias since I used him in Gen 6 but he's still pretty cool anyway

Inviso: This things face looks like a penis. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

Anagram: I didn't like Krookodile at first, but over time, I grew to like it a lot. I have no real explanation for this.

Natwaf: Ladies and gentleman, behold my first legit shiny. I got it in White 2 while passing through that desert route. Krookodile is great, It's got two great abilities, and Dat Dark/Ground is a sexy offensive typing

Cybat: Always fun to see new type combinations, but I just don't like the direction they took this line. The new color comes out of nowhere and looks awkward (especially for a desert-dwelling creature) and his huge shades look cheesy. Oh well, at least I managed to get through the writeup without mentioning his nose aw dammit

StifledSilence: I am not a Krook. *peace signs*

Genny: You know I used to think it was a little too chunky, but it's just chunky enough. It's not that I dislike it btw, it's that I like or even love everything above it more. It absolutely pains me that it's going to finish so far above Krokorok, probably by a good 30+ spots when I love the latter so much more. This thing is gonna win no matter what I do, so good thing I'm cool with it now.

Magmortar: Krookodile – I mean crocodiles are cool I guess but Feraligatr is one too and it’s better but Krookodile is still better than ****ing Carnivine so I guess it’s here (it isn’t very good, like a lot of these Pokemon).

Brayze II: http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131213235820/pokemon/images/1/16/Ash_Krookodile_Dragon_Claw.png

Paratroopa1: krookodile is my guess for #1 - I think he's got a good chance of winning this, though I'll look stupid when he ends up out of the top ten. I didn't do myself any favors by sabotaging his ranking just now

PrinceKaro: What happened to you? You used to be cool when you were younger, but then you got sunburnt and had your head turned into a phallus.

ctesjbuvf: Fun type combination and excellent Pokemon.

Ermine: Galvantula and Joltik is one of the best pokemon lines ever created. Both are simply fantastic and honestly people say they are overrated? Nah, they are underrated imo, they need even MORE appreciation! Galvy has such a perfect design it's actually amazing that he's a gen 5 poke. I guess with so many failures, they had to get something right. And by god did they get these two pokemon right. I'm really glad the electric bug turned out fantastic because it could have gone terribly wrong. Amazing pokemon and if he manages to beat Krookodile and a few other strong pokes to take first place, well he definitely deserves it!

Wigs: CRAZY COOL SPIDER

Scepter: Good pet

Suor: They really nailed the Bug types in Gen 5 and Galvantula is the best of the best. Amazing typing, excellent design, useful both in-game and in battles and evolves from the cutest pokémon ever. I have nothing but praise for it.

Magmortar: I hate tarantulas, and after Gen 1 I’m not overly huge on Electric-types except here and there, but somehow when you put two and two together, you get a pretty awesome Pokemon with a sleek and out-there design and some mad battle credit (91% accurate STAB Thunder! Awwww yeah).

Logicblade: Galvantula has been a mainstay on every team I've used. Compound Eyes + Thunder is just so fun. Not as cute as Joltik but still up there.

Inviso: Two Pokemon from one line make my top six overall. Yes, that just happened. Compoundeyes given a 91% STAB Thunder attack? Yes please. I mean, I'm horrifically arachnophobic, but Galvantula doesn't scare me. It's actually pretty cute.

Brayze II: http://cdn.smosh.com/sites/default/files/ftpuploads/bloguploads/1213/sexy-pokemon-galvantula.jpeg

junglebob22: Pretty much just a tarantula, but it's got a sweet color scheme and type combo

OrangeCrush: He's kind of overrated, but unlike Ampharos or Luxray, Galvantula actually deserves most of its praise. Compound Eyes Thunder is fun, and he's also part bug to spice things up even more.

Genny: This guy probably has a great chance of winning if Most Excellent Pokémon was any indicator, and well I wouldn't be mad at that. I love spiders. Well not on me, but I love to look at them and watch their odd movements and habits. They're so alien and yet so natural, and sometimes they're even beautiful. Galvantula as a concept was lightning in a bottle, pun intended: a spider that spouts electric webs in which to paralyze its prey before eating it. Are you kidding me? That's crazy genius. And its design and movepool are as awesome as its concept. It would be no slouch on the battlefield or the runway. I rather love it, I just love the ten pokémon I have above it even more.

Paratroopa1: why aren't real life spiders cool and cute like this instead of terrible? I mean never mind that this thing is large and has electric powers I'd still be okay with it in my house

KommunistKoala: Wish it was more useful in battle but still what a boss.

Cybat: Finally another spider. Sorry Ariados, but you weren't really pulling your weight for your species. This one comes with way cooler typing and a great name. And a cool-sounding move, anyway, too bad it's kinda useless.

Anagram: "Ariados was a wash, let's call a mulligan for spider pokemon."

Natwaf: The superior Spider-Ma-MON! Rather low attacking stats, but thanks to Compoundeyes, it can make use of Thunder rather accurately to make up for it, and it's got moves to hit other types too. Probably one of my favorite bug designs too. Gets rid of dem Psychic and Dark types in my Mono-Electric White playthrough.

StifledSilence: Electric Bugaloo

ecksgem: I hate spiders in real life, but love them in everything else. Galvantula is really cool.

Raka_Putra: Joltik who got hormone treatment. Still good, just not as good.

Wicklebee: OH GOD IT EVOLVED *stompstompstomp*
