Board 8 Ranks Generation II Pokemon

Board 8 Ranks Generation II Pokemon is hosted by starfox2245. starfox2245 originally made a submissions topics where B8 users submit in rankings of his/her own taste in G/S/C Pokemon to starfox2245 via e-mail and averages out the rankings in Excel. Who will be number one and who will be crowned the worst Pokemon of the second generation? Continue to read on and find out. :)

Various Board 8 users compile and rank all 100 Gold / Silver / Crystal Pokemon, however he or she wants and 60 users come together and have a roundtable of discussions, who and where they consider are the best and worst Pokemon from the G/S/C generation.

The Pokemon from Gen II have received general negative reception on Board 8. Many people consider the Pokemon from Gen II a cesspoll of bad Pokemon. Nearly 10% of all of these Pokemon are Baby Pokemon.

A full list of the users that have chosen to participate in this project are listed below.

A full list of outlining where each user placed, where and what Pokemon at will be provided once the project is completed.

Some users (not all of them) have provided write-ups, giving people a full emphasis of where and why they placed that Pokemon at a certain position.

As with usual ranking topics? A Pokemon placed at #100 is what they consider is the worst Pokemon of the pack and #1 is what he or she considers is his or her favorite from that particular Generation of Pokemon.

It's worth noting that a rankings topic for the first generation was done but not much was documented or saved from it. :(

Board 8 Ranks Generation II Pokemon lasted from November 19, 2014 to December 4, 2014.

Houndoom was voted by the press as the #1 Gen II (G/S/C) Pokemon.

Sanity: Jynx is a funny Pokemon. Smoochum is funny for other reasons. Just imagining this little baby that wants to kiss everything is amusing.

Gen: I can hear the public outcry from miles away. Well guess what? I don't GIVE a flying Rattata's ass! I love Smoochum and none of y'all can stop me. Fine, I'll explain. First off, look at its official art: 'http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/0e/238Smoochum.png. She is like the paragon of GameFreak's trolliness. It's poetry in motion. Can you imagine a GF PSA? "Gaiz we swear we weren't trolling and like uh... there's totes nothing racist insinuated by Jynx we swear k bai". *proceeds to give Jynx's baby form the sassiest of sassy black woman trope poses* I mean she's even doing a neck-roll and mouthing "ooh gurl no you DI'NT!" Have you ever seen Drawn Together? Can you not imagine her with Foxxy Love's voice actress if she could speak at all? I suppose as a black woman I'm supposed to be offended but I mean if you can't laugh at yourself...

Comm: I can't justify putting this in the top half of the rankings, because seriously... look at it. But once I dubbed it "Lil Whore", its always had a place in my heart.

Suor: You look like a little bossy bad b****, but you still got a long way to go before you can compete with motherf***ing Jynx the baddest b**** in town. I suggest you watch more Nicki Minaj videos.

Arti: Jynx is still waiting for its evolution :(

Preston: I wonder what it would be like if they gave Paige in the WWE a germaphobe gimmick. It couldn't as bad as Jillian Hall's singing gimmick right?

Natwaf: NFE Trash. Adorable, and looks more aesthetically pleasing than Jynx.

CasanovaZelos: In Pokemon Crystal I got this from my egg. I ended up using it in my party, which probably boosted it from rank 98. Still evolves into one of the worst Pokemon ever, and I'm disappointed my egg didn't hatch into Pichu or Elekid.

Raka: Chibi Nicki Minaj ^_^

Mana: I've never been a fan of Jynx, but I understand the Electabuzz-Magmar-Jynx trio that Smoochum makes sense to exist so early. Still, though, Smoochum is the worst baby. Although as I write this comment, for the first time ever, Smoochum has made me smile. Looking at some its art, my mind is overwhelmed with Baby Plucky quotes. Almost enough to give it one less point... until looking at the other baby hit an even stronger nostalgia vein.

Magmortar: WHAT IS THE DAMN POINT. Magmar and Electabuzz got kids too, but now Smoochum proved to be a red herring since Jynx didn’t evolve with those two! Seriously, what the French toast, Game Freak?!

Stifled: Babies aren’t maybes.

Starfox: Oh god why? Jynx was hideous enough, this thing doesn’t need to exist and make it worse. The babies are (mostly) bad, but this one is definitely the worst.

Anagram: It has a cute episode in the anime, so I give it just enough points to overcome Igglybuff and Magby.

Brayze: A step up from jynx, congratulations smoochum you’re the 9th worst pokemon of all time (thunderous applause)

KBM: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Paratroopa: a tiny, less awful jynx. less awful in this case is damning with faint praise. or maybe faint praising with very, very strong damning

Ermine: Get out.

Wickle: I said I put Jynx too high. Not making that mistake here!

Cybat: Unlike in gen 1, there are no Pokemon I really hate. That's bad news for concepts I hate, like baby Pokemon. They bring almost nothing to the table design-wise or gameplay-wise. Having this particular baby in last hopefully needs no explanation.

Goa: Maybe not quite as ugly as Jynx, but even more useless.

Flubbin: Oh god, Smoochum is hideous. Maybe one day Smoochum will be the baddest b**** of all, but today she is a useless embarrassment.

Ecks: Not only do they create a baby form for Jynx of all things, but they name it Smoochum? Really? It's horrendously ugly.

Sanity: Not even close to as good as Jigglypuff or even Wigglytuff, but it's still in the family.

Preston: I loved that "Streaming Stampede" mini-game in Pokémon Stadium 2 and you were Igglybuff and you counted all the Pokémon that marched in front of you. It was cool. Definitely the best of the Baby Pokémon. Here's some gameplay footage of "Streaming Stampede" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3KY8Th7YhY

Wizards: The most pointless baby pokemon I can think of.

Paratroopa: I used to have a TCG deck based on chansey, igglybuff, cleffa, aka a bunch of dumb pink s*** and it was pretty much the best deck

Brayze: Less awful now that I know he floats, still number 86 so you can imagine how bad he ranked before (87)

Mana: The second-worst baby. Almost was the worst until I looked at Igglybuff again. Igglybuff is a freaking Digimon. Look at those eyes and tell me it doesn't digivolve.

Starfox: I think I might not hate babies as much if they didn’t give them to lines that were already horrible to begin with. But they did. Almost invariably. The few exceptions seem to be the only ones I don’t hate.

Gen: While I realize Jigglypuff is extremely popular in Japan and the advent of horrible baby pokémon meant the opportunity to give adorbubble counterparts to all the fan favorites like Pikachu & company... couldn't they have put a little thought into this? I mean I don't give even a fraction of a damn about Jiggly and I feel for its fanbase. What a wasted opportunity.

Arti: Igglybuff is a dumb name. Not like Wigglytuff is much better though.

CasanovaZelos: One of the worst names in Pokemon, and it lacks the cuteness of the other babies.

Wickle: puff, tuff, and now the baby is buff? Lol no.

Cybat: At least succeeds in being cute.

Goa: Fans of the Jigglypuff line should be glad I didn't get to vote last round.

Logicblade: GArbage baby. Would be fine at 100.

Natwaf: BABY trash. God I hate Baby pokemon. Especially the ones that require ****ing Happiness Evolution AND can't breed in the baby stages. And Igglybuff is UGLY.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Igglybuff - Jigglypuff - Wigglytuff
Both Genders: Lullaby Flubbin: Augh, babies are supposed to be cute. If it’s not at least cute, what the hell is it good for?

Magmortar: Wigglytuff needed an evolution, NOT A…BABY FORM! THERE IS NO REASON AS TO WHY IGGLYBUFF EXISTS MOTHER OF GOD THIS THING IS A PIECE OF SHIT. It’s not even cute. It looks fucking terrifying. However, Igglybuff has one and ONLY ONE thing that saves it. It isn’t in the fucking Chansey line.

Raka: More like ugly barf hahaha. But seriously, it's so bad, meaningless, and ugly. And I like Jigglypuff.

Stifled: Babies give rabies.

Anagram: Baby pokemon are, with three exceptions, just the absolute worst. Why does this monstrosity even have a squiggly circle on its forehead? It doesn’t map to anything about Jigglypuff or Wigglytuff. Worst of all, it isn’t even cute. It’s got these big evil-looking black eyes when its evolutions don’t

KBM: What is this monstrosity. I have nothing against the CONCEPT of baby Pokémon. There are actually a few that I like. But THIS thing.... *shudder*

Drak: WHO LET THE ABOMINATION BREED

Suor: Triple testicles spotted on its head. Its red eyes also foreshadow its murderous intentions.

Anagram: It’s horrible, but at least it will always have the fact that it isn’t Igglybuff.

Brayze: He’s no ....magmar

CasanovaZelos: Not as cool as its evolutions, but I like it by association.

Cybat: Haha what the hell

Flubbin: Why do bad things happen to good people?

Gen: It looks like it was made to suck dicks and it does.

KBM: Credit where credit's due: This is not one of the horrible baby Pokémon that give them such a bad rap. That being said, this is not one of the good ones, either. I always feel like the lumps on top of its head are its brain poking through its flesh, which gives me a really creepy feeling.

Magmortar: I think it’s cute in its own weird, derpy way, and unlike a lot of other babies, it is actually somewhat usable before it evolves. And it has no really stupid mean of evolving.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. Not a baby, yay! Worst of the 3 though. I mean, look at poor Magby's head. It looks like it has alien eggs inside ready to hatch and pop out and eat people's faces.

Paratroopa: one butt on head was a solid decision but magby aren't you taking this a bit far I'm just saying less is more

Preston: Another pointless Baby Pokémon. Magby looks like it's suffering from brain hemorrhaging.
Boring. Does anybody remember Chris Routly's Survivor SketchBoy Comics?
http://survivor.thesketchpad.net/

Raka: If there's a God, he would have put this thing out of its misery.

Stifled: Much less offensive than other babies.

Suor: In the last topic, Board 8 identified its awkward tumors as headboobs. Evolves into lolmagmar the joke dumb duck pokémon.

Anagram: Snubbull is ugly as hell, and not in a good way. It also misses a huge opportunity to be a dog made out of bubbles. It wears a dress you’d expect on Mimi from the Drew Carry Show. I can handle ugliness, but this is way over the line.

Brayze: This pokemon was designed to be appealing to women, somehow I don’t think any women worked at gamefreak at that time

CasanovaZelos: I predict most people really hate this thing, but I love its stuck up attitude. Also the Fairy Pokemon.

Cybat: "Ugly cute" doesn't really do anything for me, sorry.

Gen: You would not believe the epic battle that went on for my bottom spot. It was such a close race between five very eligible candidates, but ultimately I decided upon this... creature. Let me get one thing straight: I am a dog person. I love dogs almost as much as Roy Mustang. Even I, though, am not very fond of dogs of the bull variety. They're slobbery, gross, gassy, and most unforgivable of all they are ugly. Not cute-ugly like old people or babies with unattractive parents, just plain ugly. I can forgive an ugly pokémon, but not one that tries so hard and fails to be cute. That hideous tutu... those heinous polka dots, that hellish FACE! I can't even

Goa: If you hate girls pampering tiny dogs in real life, this is basically the Pokemon equivalent.

KBM: There's something really off-putting about Snubbull. I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be cute or not.

Logicblade: Is bad, but would not be fine at 100.

Magmortar: You cannot look at me with a straight face and tell me that’s a fairy. There’s no way. I like all sorts of dogs but Snubbull is an ugly mother.

Mana: Never really like the Snubbull line, and he made a terrible Jigglypuff-type character int he show IIRC. Goofy looking and swarm only.

MSG: My least favorite Pokemon ever created. Just look at it. It's a living oxymoron. From the look of its face, I assume it's supposed to be designed as a relatively vicious First-Stage normal type. But it has little cute paws for feet, stubs for hands, and then, like, a skirt for a body and double ears, I guess? I don't even know what either of those are. I mean, you know what color scheme just screams vicious? Pink with baby blue polka dots. So I guess it's not supposed to be vicious. Then what's with the face? Just looking at it pisses me off. F*** Snubbull, seriously.

Natwaf: I know it's supposed to be ugly, but I just love Pugs and dogs like that.

Paratroopa: a gross, ugly bulldog that looks like it's wearing some kind of awful polka dot maternity dress that someone would have worn in 1910? what a great pokemon! the kids will love it.

Preston: Snubbull is the Russell Hantz of Pokémon. I'm not sure if Snubbull is supposed to resemble a pit bull or a bull dog but I could care less. From the time it was I was born to mid-2002 (1993-2002) I was living in a house where my next door neighbor was a drug dealer that had a pit bull that would deposit it's feces on my front yard almost every day. It was gross. Compostable bags were hard to come by back then. I moved to a new house in July 2002 and then started 3rd Grade from there and well...yeah. That pit bull nearly mauled to death my own brother in the front yard one time. There will never be a Pokémon as bad as Snubbull. Only Goldeen can be compared in the same league as Snubbull. Last place. Thank you everyone. F*** you Snubull f*** you.

Raka: A charming eyesore vomit

Sanity: Worst Pokemon so far from the first two Gens. This design is ass. Just so terrible looking.

Starfox: I don’t even know where to begin to describe how much I hate this thing. I guess I should start by saying that I love dogs. Pretty much everyone here that knows me is already well aware of this. Which is exactly why I despise this hideous monstrosity. It’s ugly as sin in every possible way you could use that term. Its face looks like it’s been smashing it repeatedly against a wall like he’s a mentally challenged Uga (although I guess the mentally challenged part is redundant there). Then it decides that the appropriate attire to fit its face is a pink tutu with baby blue poka dots. What? You were already difficult to look at, and then you go and give yourself one of the worst color schemes imaginable? And hell, now you want to be a fairy? As if joining the worst type by a country mile would somehow improve your awfulness? A type you don’t even remotely fit? And then to top it off, you prance around pretending to be one of my favorite things on this planet. No. Cast yourself back into the fiery chasm from which you came, and let me forget that you exist. The fact that there manages to be one Pokemon more offensive than this is nothing short of astonishing.

Stifled: Creepy prissy angry dog.

Suor: See Granbull, but b****ier.

Anagram: Look at its ears. I just want to… I just want to build a motorcycle, and have its ears be the handlebars, with its body just squeezed in as the front.

Arti: Baby Pokemon are no good.

Brayze: Boy this thing needs a smaller, feebler first evolution, that would be for the best' said nobody ever

CasanovaZelos: A teeny bit cute, but pointless. The cutoff for Pokemon I either dislike or can't bring myself to care about.

Cybat: Cleffa has the benefit of not looking quite as dumb as some of its fellow babies.

Drak: I don't like either of its evolutions, but I do like cleffa. it's cute in an understated way, without being ostentatious and showboating (see: jigglypuff, sylveon). if I had one in real life I would set it on my desk and absentmindedly pat it every so often.

Gen: does it really need to exist? No, not at all. But I'm kinda glad it does because it's so cute that looking at it makes me happy.

Goa: I actually like this line, but we don't need more pink balls with even worse stats than they had in gen I.

KBM: To use an age-old cliché: if there was an entry in the dictionary for “trying too hard,” a picture of THIS would probably be next to it. I already have never liked Clefairy, and this just makes the whole evolutionary line that much worse.

Magmortar: Still a piece of shit. Not as bad as Igglybuff because if Clefable got an evolution, said evolution would probably have been banished to Ubers in this generation considering how good Clefable is now. So yeah. Wigglytuff sucks, and so does Cleffa.

Mana: Cute baby. Worlds better than Smoochum and Igglybuff.

Natwaf: BABY trash. Cleffa, unlike Igglybuff, is actually cute. Still doesn't excuse the hassle from trying to breed a good one.
Natwaf's Nicknames:
Cleffa - Clefairy - Clefable
Male: Armstrong
Female: Kaguya OrangeCrush: I remember her being good in the card game

Paratroopa: "WE MADE THIS SMALL CUTE PINK THING BUT NOW WE NEED TO MAKE A NEW SMALL CUTE PINK THING. WHAT DO WE DO AS A FOLLOWUP" "I KNOW" (copy, paste, size = 75%)

Preston: I'm for certain just going to rank the Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal generations. Going beyond 250 Pokémon is just preposterous. Hence forth I bring you Cleffa. Another useless Baby Pokémon that was introduced in G/S/C. Moving on.

Raka: At least it didn't ruin its evolution. *jeers at Igglybuff*

Starfox: I wasn’t originally going to do a writeup on this, but then when I thought about it, I realized it looked like a Luma. Bumped it up a spot for that.

Stifled: Babies are scabies.

Suor: I just realized it kind of looks like a Luma while writing this. This discovery earned it a 6-spots boost.

Wickle: What is on its head? Seriously…

Brayze: I love him and was so sad when it turned out he evolved into a piece of junk. By far the best seed-based pokemon, Imagine planting a seed and getting a sunflora I would not stop screaming

CasanovaZelos: It's just a pathetic little seed.

Cybat: Design-wise, it's very on point. Seeds do grow into flowers and don't really do much fighting. But yeah, lowest BST of any Pokemon. Ouch.

Ecks: The design is kind of cute, but it's just a bad, unnecessary line.

Gen: This is just a f***ing seed with a face on it!

Goa: I like sunflowers, but they were a little bit too generic with this line.

KBM: It may drop out of the sky suddenly.

Magmortar: It would probably be a lot higher if it DIDN’T evolve. It’s just so awful, but being awful in your first form is just not as meaningful as being a terrible fully evolved mon.

Mana: Sunkern is just such a disappointing Pokemon. I hate using Stones to evolve in the first place and such a poor Pokemon needing one to evolve, and not even getting something good out of it, is horrible.

MSG: The worst Pokemon still to this day. Kinda random, considering all the babies and Magikarps of the world, but there ya go.

Natwaf: All hail king of the NFE Trash. Lowest BST EVER. So bad I just have to love it. Still bad though.

Paratroopa: "someday, I'll grow up and be a cool pokemon that everyone likes!" keep believing in that dream, sunkern. shhhhhh. it'll be okay.

Preston: I actually don't mind Sunkern all that much. But Sunkern has the lowest stats of ANY Pokémon on record as of 2014. I have to put it and it's under eye bags no higher than this. Oh who am I kidding? Sunkern isn't not that great.

Raka: Isn't this what hamsters eat?

Starfox: I don’t hate Sunkern, I guess, but it definitely would have helped if its evolution wasn’t even worse. I also find it kinda lame that with all of the Pokemon that have gimmicks surrounding how weak they are, this random ass grass type has the lowest base stat total

Stifled: Sunflower seeds are for planting and eating. Not for wasting my oxygen.

Suor: Imagine how cool this could've been if it used its leaves as a helicopter instead of swinging them like a dummy.

Anagram: “Quick, we need a mid-evolution for a grass/flying type.” “Uhhhhh just make a green blob with a flower that acts like a helicopter.” “BRILLIANT.”

Arti: All three of this line are terrible.

Brayze: jumpluffs have a difficult puberty, also now that I think about it jumpluff pluffs are actually their gonads aren’t they, so they literally fly with their junk. Science

CasanovaZelos: This was the least deserving three step line.

Cybat: I really enjoy the theme names for this line. This one is kinda chubby-looking compared to the other two, but at least it looks happy.

Ecks: Hoppip and Jumpluff are at least kind of cute, Skiploom is like an awkward guy standing alone in the corner at a party and just watching everyone because he's ugly and no one wants to talk to him. Gen: It gets worse when it evolves.

Goa: Another middle evolution that serves absolutely no purpose besides being slightly less useless to use than the first form.

KBM: I mean, the design is okay, but the typing is weird and the whole line is ultimately forgettable.

Magmortar: It looks so stupid. Expect to hear this many, many times in this generation’s writeups.

Mana: If I didn't have a soft spot for how inoffensive Hoppip and Jumpluff liked to be, Skiploom would be much lower. Cool little dandelion.

Natwaf: Honest to god I don't know what to say here. This entire line is my very definition of MEH. Well, I guess that's not true. It's weak as hell, and for my 100% Super Chatelaine Nita counter, I needed a high leveled one to pass Worry Seed to a Cottonee. Skiploom is the worst of the lost.

Paratroopa: I predict that I will be the only person to have something insightful to say about skiploom. just kidding, I don't have anything insightful to say about skiploom.

Preston: You people shouldn't be aghast by this elimination. Hoppip line was basically the Oddish line of the G/S/C generation. Which is why I'm NOTgoing to rank any of the Pokémon past the G/S/C generations. Skiploom loses points for unoriginality but it's cute but on the other hand? Oddish is obtainable in G/S/C so it makes me question the purpose of Hoppip.

Raka: Best of its line. It doesn't burn my eyes, unlike Hoppip, and it's discernible, unlike Jumpluff.

Stifled: Uh-huh.

Suor: There are things that just have no right to exist but words can't really explain why. Just look at it.

BetrayedTangy: I've had a weird history with Pokemon, aside from a couple of VHS tapes I owned, I had very little exposure of Gen II until moderately recently, as such I don't have much experience using a lot of these Pokemon. Which is why I like Tyrogue, despite being a baby Pokemon, I've always viewed him as the little underdog trying to make his way to the top by training, and guess what you 'kinda' get to to choose where he ends up. And I've always been a huge fan of underdogs.

Anagram: One of the three non-crap baby pokemon. I never had the patience to properly evolve one of these things.

KBM: Cool, Eeveeish idea to bring Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, two that I've always really liked, together into one family. I really enjoy this concept and I'm sure I'll have to use one at SOME point. Perhaps the next time I play through Gen 2 again I'll make room for it.

Goa: At least he has a lot of cool evolutions to turn into.

CasanovaZelos: The one baby Pokemon from Gen II that doesn't go for cuteness. Bringing the Hitmon line together was a great idea. Raka: Cool gimmick. That's it.

OrangeCrush: I like how he connected the Hitmons, but on his own he sucks Brayze: Another baby, and as a special bonus it has the most irritating evolution method in the game

Flubbin: why why why why why why why dear god why

Paratroopa: if there's anything about tyrogue that anyone really finds appealing I'll be sort of surprised

Preston: 10% of these newbies in Gold, Silver and Crystal are Baby Pokémon. Hera help us.

Wickle: Hitmons were better stand-alone.

Cybat: The idea of branched evolution is neat in theory but in this case just annoying in practice. And it looks dumb.

Magmortar: One of the single most annoying evolution mechanics that does not involve trading ever. And it sucks. Why is it purple while everything it involves into is brown? Hitmonchan at least wears purple, but that’s not good enough.

Natwaf: NFE Trash with the 2nd worst evolution method ever. MY GOD WHY! I mean, on paper, it's a cool concept, but in practice, it just makes getting the Hitmon you want so annoying.

Stifled: Please stop with the babies.

Suor: Looks like an annoying Dragon Ball kid whose destiny is to never ever become overpowered.

Gen: A close battle took place as to who would take my spot for bottom baby. There were many contenders but really only two were ever in the race. As to how I decided, I need only have looked at Tyrogue's bulbapedia entry to recall what a pain in the ass it was to evolve it.

Magmortar: It’s a gun. And a fish. It can also outrun Machamp, something it can’t do when it evolves. Now you know.

Wickle: I don't know what it's supposed to be, but it evolves into A CANNON OCTOPUS, BRING IT!!

Anagram: Ranked this high solely due to the pokemon comic where someone kills Bruce Wayne’s parents with it.

Cybat: How in the hell do you turn into an octopus

Preston: Meh.

KBM: It's kind of just your average, run-of-the-mill Water type Pokémon. Which means there's a ton better to choose from.

Paratroopa: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/364/5/f/remoraid_by_yamashitathewildcat-d4kpjhy.png AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Drak: One of the most forgettable pokemon in existence, but it keeps good company (Mantine), which is enough to keep it from being bottom of the barrel.

Starfox: I will always forget that this thing exists. Which is weird, because I like Octillery. Maybe that’s because its evolution makes no sense, I dunno.

Gen: This is a pokémon that exists.

Brayze: The jacked up eggplant of the sea

MSG: Posting write-up in hopes of being only one for this thing no one even remembers existed.

Natwaf: NFE Trash, and a very odd evolutionary line. And it's also an evolutionary requirement of a different line. Neat.

CasanovaZelos: It's a fish.

Raka: Good name, but that's about it. I think it's meant to be a gun-fish?

Suor: It just occurred to me: if Remoraid is part of Mantine, and it learns Flamethrower and other cool stuff, why shouldn't Mantine be able to use them through it as well? I want a fire-breathing manta-ray :(

Mana: Despite being its own Pokemon and featured in Mantine's art, as well as part of Mantyke's evolution later on, Remoraid is utterly forgettable. Forgettable art as a forgettable type. Octillery feels like such a standalone Pokemon.

Stifled: It’s such a boring fish I don’t even know that I’d want to eat it.

Flubbin: It’s so freakin’ ugly.

Ecks: Remoraid looks constantly surprised with its mouth open, that's the most notable thing about it to me. I actually completely forgot that it evolved into Octillery until I looked it up.

Brayze: In stadium 2 he literally vibrated with barely concealed rage

Natwaf: While this NFE Trash came out of nowhere, I think it's an improvement over Larvitar's looks. Now THIS is an intimidating cocoon.

KBM: It's basically Kakuna and Metapod on 'roids. And NOT a bug type. I really don't see how that can be a bad thing, but it's not the MOST interesting thing.

Magmortar: It’s another cocoon, but it’s actually useful from time to time. If you get STAB on EdgeQuake you aren’t bad almost by default. Almost.

CasanovaZelos: How is this related to Larvitar and Tyranitar?

MSG: I would really like to know whose brilliant idea it was to give a cocoon stage to a pseudo-legendary line. Because I want to punch them in the dick.

Raka: WTF I can't make the head or tail of this abomination.

Paratroopa: sometimes I also angrily vibrate with seething rage too so pupitar really speaks to me as a human being

Gen: I feel so sorry for most cocoon pokémon. Nobody luffs them, and for good reason because until Gen V Nintendo never gave anyone a legitimate reason. At least his face is cooler than most.

Goa: My bad, there is a cocoon in this gen, its just not for a bug. If I ranked you lower than this guy, its a good sign you suck.

Logicblade: Pupitar just looks dumb, I tend to ignore it as a middle stage. This one also started the trend of the second stage of psuedo legends being kinda garbo

Preston: Why do people haze each other so much on Board 8? I don't understand. :( Anyways. I don't really like Pupitar. If anything else? I would feel like people would mistake it as an evolution for Metapod. I'm not sure what it is but Pupitar has a pretty weird exoskeleton and that's why I don't like Pupitar very much.

Suor: Cocoons are cooler than their pre-evos because they're inoffensive.

Stifled: So the turd evolves into a turd cocoon? And what does that make Tyranitar? A massive, stomach bursting, world record breaking pile of crap that grew inside of a turd cocoon? Who the hell came up with this?

Cybat: Hurry up and evolve already

Wizards: Started the trend of ugly middle evos for pseudo-legendaries.

Mana: I don't understand Pupitar. You go from small dragon to big dragon, but in-between is this guy. I don't understand.

Flubbin: Poor Pupitar doesn’t really have a lot going for him. He’s transition from something cute to something awesome, but he himself is kind of bad.

Anagram: Possibly the most inexplicable cocoon pokemon out of the eighteen-billion different ones.

Wickle: lolol poopitar. Seriously though, this poke didn't need a cocoon.

Karo: Although it it pronounced 'pew-pa-tar' as in a pupa, a more fitting pronunciation would be 'poop-a-tar' because it looks like an extra-chunky piece of s***.

Magmortar: Great design. I like bulldogs, and it’s clear THIS one is going to just tear you limb from limb with that jaw of its. I don’t know why it’s a Fairy (might be to help it stand out from Ursaring) but injects some much needed beastness into the typing.

Natwaf: Gotta be the oversized Fangs. Plus, Play Rough.
Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Snubbul-Granbull
Male: Frank
Female: Big Patty

Starfox: It’s definitely better than Snubbull. At least this one is clear on the fact that it’s supposed to be tough, despite being pink, and it ditched the dress. Becoming a fairy still hurts it though.

Cybat: Fairy and Play Rough helped it a lot. Can't fault them for how it looks mean and unappealing since that was their goal, but, well…

Gen: I must give it props for TRYING to redeem it's abysmal first form, but it's far too little and way too late.

Anagram: Less terrible Snubbull. At least its ugliness now serves a purpose (making it look strong) and it dumped the dress. I can also get behind the collar it apparently evolved to have.

Brayze: Getting fairy type was good for him but it doesn’t fix that he’s a pink bulldog

CasanovaZelos: Kind of a weird looking thing. Loses a bit of charm from Snubbull.

KBM: Forgettable, but at least it's a good bit better than Snubbull.

Stifled: Ugly angry dog.

Paratroopa: ugly pink bulldogs are definitely a thing that is not the best thing

Ecks: It was originally higher because I thought it wasn't quite as ugly as Snubbull. I was very wrong.

Preston: I rather have a Pokémon that looks like a pair of burglar bars than this ugly mutt.

Suor: A candy with anger problems. It becoming a Fairy type achieved the apparently impossible feat of making it even more creepy.

Raka: Fun fact, I didn't know Snubbull could evolve for, like, 3 gens? And I was fully happy and content. I mean, just look at this thing…ugly coloration, ugly proportions, ugly lower fangs…

Sanity: Almost as terrible as Snubbull.

Preston: I really don't get the Amanda Kimmel hate. I really don't. She was the first Survivor contestant to be on the show for 100+ days before that record was broken by Shallow and Mariano. You have to be doing something right.

Anagram: I feel like it should be the comedy relief sidekick to the main character on a Saturday morning cartoon where everyone is a talking animal of some kind.

Brayze: Oh hey who even cares about you ledyba

Magmortar: It’s pretty damn adorable, but it is otherwise next to useless. That’s actually better than a lot of Pokemon. Ledian could’ve taken advantage of at least that first part, so it’d be mildly forgettable instead of completely fucking forgettable.

KBM: Cute for a bug. But I don't really like bugs.

Raka: Somehow they could make a worse and boring bug Pokemon than Yanma in the same generation, that takes talent

Cybat: Aw, look at him. He just wants to be at all interesting or useful. Keep hoping, buddy.

Paratroopa: I'm afraid of bugs in real life but if they were like this I'd just feel sorry for them

Suor: A lady bug called Ledyba. Genius.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. How unfortunate that I associate this with Fist of the North Star. Looks better than it's FE though, at least Ledyba is cute.

Goa: Well, at least they didn't give this generation any cocoons.

Arti: I can never wake up in the morning anymore unless I'm going to work

Preston: Oddish was still the ruler of all Grass types in G/S/C anyway.

Goa: The rest of its line sucks, but I admit if these existed in real life seeing them float by my window would make me smile. Alternatively, decorate one with glow in the dark accessories and substitute it for passing a beach ball around at a rave!

Brayze: He got a bit cooler when it turned out he’s a helicopter

Anagram: A flying radish? Okay. I can definitely work with that. There’s nothing spectacular about Hoppip, but it has no real bad points, either. We’ve more-or-less entered the realm of pokemon about which I don’t really feel anything.

Cybat: Very simple but effective design, and I love how he starts with Splash for no real reason. (That's because I never tried to use one in game, of course)

Paratroopa: hi hoppip. just passing through? all right then, seeya

Suor: I like how happy it looks compared to Skiploom. Not being colored like green vomit and having cool elicopter leaves instead of the dumbest flower ever might be the reason.

Stifled: That face…*shudders*

KBM: Because we needed a Grass equivalent to Magikarp.

Natwaf: Honest to god I don't know what to say here. This entire line is my very definition of MEH. Well, I guess that's not true. It's weak as hell, and for my 100% Super Chatelaine Nita counter, I needed a high leveled one to pass Worry Seed to a Cottonee. Hoppip looks the best Gen: It doesn't start out great to begin with.

Raka: Ugly leaf and color. What is it, a beet?

Starfox: I just hate this entire line. They all look stupid and are pretty useless.

Magmortar: It doesn’t look quite as stupid as other Pokemon, but still looks pretty stupid. Probably because of that grin. I guess it being pink is cool.

CasanovaZelos: Utterly forgettable.

Arti: HOPPIP used Splash! But nothing happened.

Natwaf: Without fail, in every game it appears in, I will capture each kind. Despite the fact I have 3 sets (LG, Platinum, and HG). No, wait, make that 2 sets, considering the one in LG is incomplete without ! And ?. Weak as ****, but ooh, so mysterious~.

Wickle: I just want everyone to know that the S is my favorite Unown. I've never caught them all.

Brayze: they are like larval sigilyph

Preston: I guess Unown is alright. I remember it was...surprisingly useful in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It was also in the third Pokemon movie. Spell of The Unown it was called right? That was the last good Pokemon movie in my opinion. How many non-Legendaries out there do you know are the feature star in a Pokemon movie? Even if Hidden Power is the only move Unown knows.

Starfox: I’ve always had a small soft spot for the gimmicky Pokemon. I thought Unown was cool when I first played the game (I was like 8). I even caught all 26 of them… lamest reward ever, but I did!

Suor: I've always liked Unown. The ruins with Unown hieroglyphics were creepy and unsettling in the good way, they always kept me wondering if there was more to them. Besides, it's so cool that the pokémon world has an actual living alphabet.

Magmortar: It’s clearly the most unpredictable Pokemon ever. It could know a move of any type. One move. And it only has that one move. SCARY.

Goa: Props for a unique idea ultimately gets balanced out by how annoying it is to find all of these things.

Stifled: A, B, C, D, E, F*** it.

Arti: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!?

Anagram: For well over a decade, I called it “Oo-known.” Then I watched the anime for that topic and learned it was “Unknown.” So dumb.

KBM: Such a weird gimmick. I don't necessarily DISLIKE it, but I can't say I'm a fan.

Gen: While this might seem a high placement for a gimmick pokémon that is literally more useless than Magikarp, I can forgive it for being the original gimmick. Yeah its sole reasons for existing include marketing a movie, being puzzle pieces, and spelling out rude messages to your friends but uh... Yeah I got nothing. I think they're neat is all.

Cybat: It's a fantastic concept. But it ultimately doesn’t amount to anything other than novelty and an extra tedium for completionists. (And a delightfully annoying font.)

Paratroopa: many things are known about it: it's a useless gimmick, it has an empty design, it's a complete waste of space

Logicblade: Dumb gimmick. Would be fine at 100.

Comm: I hated all the different forms. I felt compelled to catch them all and at the same time knew it was an exercise in futility. I ultimately decided not to even try, but it left me feeling like I left something incomplete.

Raka: Much worse than Una Nancy Owen.

CasanovaZelos: Why does this exist? Stupid design matched with a single move. It's not even the funny kind of useless, as they seemed to be going for something with it.

Karo: What could be worse than an awful looking, gimmicky waste of space that is unusable in any context? How about 28 of them! A microcosm of everything wrong with the gen 2 development team's priorities.

Eddv: Dumb Gimmick.

Suor: I once had a 70 BP Hidden Power Fire on one of these things randomly. I don't know how to express how much I love its happy face. Wickle: What? I like mah little sunflower

Eddv: A happy dancy sunflower is a nice concept. Pity its terrible in battle.

Cybat: I decided I wanted a Grass type on my team in Gold because I started with Cyndaquil, and, yeah, I got this. Welp. I will say that the design is pretty apt, and hey, Petal Dance is cool.

Gen: You know if not for the fact that this pokémon made for Meowth's most convincing disguise to date this thing would be completely unremarkable. Hell I can't unsee them as Meowths in disguise now.

Natwaf: Why the hell is this thing so happy, it's godawful. Aww hell, I can't stay mad at it's happy face. Natwaf’s Nicknames: Sunkern-Sunflora Both Genders: Matahari

Magmortar: It sucks really, really bad but oh come on. Look at that face. It’s a jolly dumb sunflower that needs sunlight to outrun a fucking snail. Sunflora is stupid but I don’t see how one can actually hate it. Stupid sunflower is fun.

Raka: There's a zombie on your lawn~ Also, weakest FE Pokemon ever, I think (IMO)? That's notable, so it gets a boost.

Stifled: Being happy is good.

Preston: The only notable thing about Sunflora was that it was the first Pokémon in the Gold/Silver/Crystal Poke'Rap. Yeah I know that's not very noteworthy.

KBM: It's literally just a sunflower. What do you want me to say? Gen 2 Grass Pokémon are not good.

Goa: Derpy and generic.

Anagram: Does anyone like this thing? Not only is it literally just a sunflower with a face, those weird black lines flanking the face just make it look off, somehow.

Starfox: I hate its face so much

CasanovaZelos: Evolves from a terrible Pokemon and is horribly useless. Waste of a sun stone.

Brayze: I’ll be frank in saying there aren’t a lot of good places to go with a sunflower pokemon but sunflora is also a pedophile

Paratroopa: NO

Mana: One of the most disappointing evolutions ever. The Bug Catching Contest was fun, but first prize was so disappointing. Yay, a Sun Stone! So I can turn Sunkern into slightly less worthless Sunflora!

Paratroopa: an absolute triumph of design based on ridiculous japanese mythology, just like farfetch'd. look at his little wings! you can't not like this thing.

Brayze: Based on an old and sacred Japanese legend, about a snake that is fat

Sanity: This has one of the dumbest looking designs. It looks dead. It has a stupid name. What more do you want?

Arti: One of my friends found a Dunsparce purely by luck in the Dark Cave, no swarm. We battled quite a bit and I ended up liking it

Magmortar: One of the dumbest looking Pokemon ever (which is a real achievement) and makes annoyance out of things with good ol’ paraflinching. I like it.

Natwaf: BODY SLAM! Watch out for dat Serene Grace Also, bigger than you'd think. It also has an oddly irresistible face.

Natwaf’s Nicknames: Both Genders: Tsuchinoko

Anagram: This thing has a huge cult following, and I just do not understand why. It’s not bad or anything, it’s just—why? It’s just Gen 2 Farfetch’d.

OrangeCrush: Dunsparce is the fodder line for me Suor: I can't put my finger on why I like Dunsparce this much, it's just... different than any other pokémon and seems so out of place in anything, I love it.

Cybat: Serene Grace is such a great ability. Granted, I don't really get a serene or graceful sense from this weird snake thing but whatever.

KBM: I literally don't care.

Raka: I just REALLY like the name 'Serene Grace' guys

CasanovaZelos: I'm still not sure what this is. Stifled: The colors and the derping…this thing is so weird.

Preston: Who cares about Dunsparce? I like Torrie Wilson.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2pq3o_torrie-wilson-before-they-were_news

Goa: Nearly as pathetic as Magicarp without any of the charm. Only good thing is his name. It's a perfect in universe insult. Quit being a Dunsparce Brock!

Gen: All my hate. Why is this a rare pokémon? Just because of the mythical creature it's based off of? Couldn't they at least have made him less pathetic? Both on and off the field it just fails at everything. The only reason it escaped my bottom spot is because I actually felt sorry for it.

Karo: The stupidest looking f***er that the world of pokemon has ever created.

Logicblade: Derp taken too far. This BS better be dead last or I'm eating you

Starfox. Well... ok there are a few terrible pokes in Gen 2 that I could tolerate being lower than Dumbsparce.

Comm: Oh I hate this thing so bad. I don't even know why. It's just utterly useless and completely boring. Ugly as sin and by far the worst Pokemon in Gen 2 (which is saying quite a bit).

Eddv: Aipom is really cool. I like the pun to the name and I really like the line because of how ridiculousi found it as a kid.

Stifled: A monkey with a glove tail? I didn’t know I wanted that until you gave it to me!

Gen: Back before monkeys became way overused in this series Aipom was super cute. I liked its wearing Ash's hat gimmick that was totally original and not used by some other pocket monster that came before it yup.

Preston: RAINBOW MONKEYS. RAINBOW MONKEYS. OH SO VERY ROUND AND SUPER CHUNKY. BRINGING LOVE WHEREVER THEY GO. EVERYONE IS MADE OF A BIG RAINBOW. OH RED AND ORANGE. AND PINK AND BLUE. RAINBOW MONKEYS. RAINBOW MONKEYS. WE LOVE YOU.

Natwaf: NFE Trash with a crazy, crazy smile.

Sanity: Monkeys suck. There is something about his face I kind of like though.

Anagram: Ash had one and traded it to May. Or Dawn. I don’t even remember. That’s how little I care about this thing. It’s one of a billion monkey pokemon, and all that stands out about it is that it has a gimmicky tail.

Raka: Natwaf's name: Luffy (I guess). Anyway, weird design, but it kinda worked.

Cybat: His face is kind of unsettling, not to mention his tail. But Skill Link is a fun ability. Suor: I like how it stands on its tail that is also a hand. Sneaky.

KBM: Aipom is as fodder-y and unmemorable as Pokémon come. Also for some reason its hand tail REALLY bothers me. It's off-putting to look at (although not as terrifying as what it evolves into).

Goa: I forgot this guy didn't get his evolution right away. No wonder no one payed any attention to him until Gen IV, and even then this line is usually ignored.

Brayze: Monkey pokemon don’t usually go well and aipom is a good representative of his sickly kind

CasanovaZelos: Pokemon has really ugly monkeys.

Mana: My first shiny. Woo. How wonderful to have this creepy thing as a Shiny, right? Aipom is just disturbing.

Magmortar: Aipom has a creepy grin. It’s nothing compared to Ambipom but it is pretty fucking freaky. I’ve never really liked monkeys either.

Paratroopa: at least 5 of these comments will be about drugs, specifically crack, that is assuming 5 people bothered to comment

MSG: A monkey with a hand on the end of its tail is a neat concept, but so many aspects of it irk me. The hand is more of a ball, with itty bitty stub fingers. Its face is a constant troll face. And it's a huge a**hole in Eager Eevee. F*** him, what a douche.

KBM: It's so cute! I love the little plus-eyes and the tiny little :o mouth... and water/electric is just really cool typing, so bonus points for that. This is one of the few times I think the FE really outshines a cute NFE, though (which I know is a tendency that's going to upset some people).

Preston: Dude look at this color. I love Chinchou's beady little X's it has for eyes.

Paratroopa: chinchou right now is the last pokemon I have to write something about. I really know how to pick 'em. well, yeah, chinchou. he's cool. he might be dead. dunno what's up with that. might want to getthat checked out

Goa: An eel would have been a better first electric/water, but this thing isn't terrible.

Anagram: I don’t understand the plus signs in its eyes. No other pokemon has that, it makes no sense to me. There’s nothing particular plus-like about it, other than it’s an electric-type and I guess you can argue that plus/minus signs make sense for that, but no other electric-type has anything like that going on.

Raka: WTF is this s***

Cybat: Not much to say about this one; it's a good design.

Brayze: They made up for this dumb thing when they invented stunfisk, the finest of flat fish pokemon.

Magmortar: It looks stupid even by this generation’s standards, but battling-wise it is not bad, and it’s definitely unique.

Natwaf: While I love Lanturn, it's NFE form is… uhh… kind of what in appearances.

Mana: It's terrible looking and forgettable. Really, that's it.

Gen: I like how its eyes look like screws. That's interesting.

CasanovaZelos: Electric/water is a cool typing, but Chinchou has a horrible design. Those eyes.

Stifled: Do those things sprouting from its head pick up XM radio?

Raka: Admiraaaal. Also fluffy.

Gen: It's cuter than Furret and I don't care if I'm the only one in the world who prefers it. Also it has a cute anime call.

Paratroopa: fun fact of the day: sentret has 20 speed, putting him at the same level as things like geodude and slugma, and slower than such known speed luminaries as snorlax and slowbro. sentret is not very fast, though maybe that's because he doesn't really have any limbs

Preston: Why are sprites named after a soda? Can I have an explanation to this?

KBM: I'm not gonna lie, this little guy is kinda cute. Got pretty sick of seeing him 50 times by the time you even get your first Poké Ball, though.

Anagram: I like the target sign on its stomach. Ever wonder how things like this would have evolved in a logical sense? I mean, what use does it serve evolutionarily to have a target on the spot that contains all of your vulnerable, meaty organs?

Magmortar: Cute! Really that’s it. It’s on like two routes in gen 2 games, WTF.

CasanovaZelos: I prefer most of the first route rodents over Rattata, and Sentret is no exception. Helps that it evolves into something supremely cute.

Goa: The looking around on its tail part is cute enough to make this one of the better useless normal rodent Pokemon.

Brayze: Sentret’s body is all out of proportion and it really bothers me

Mana: Probably the worst Normal beginner. Ermine should be pleased that I have Furret a lot higher, but Sentret's just goofy.

Natwaf: Still the worst early critter, but it's cuter than the fugly mess that is Furret.

Cybat: Most of its sprites make it look really chubby even though it's supposed to be 2' tall and only 13 pounds. Also I don't understand how it turns into a ferret.

Stifled: You’re not Rattata. Don’t even try.

Brayze: “Want a bad night, try sleeping on one of these”

Flubbin: I really really like Qwilfish, and I’m not quite sure why. He doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.

Paratroopa: useless, forgettable, and ugly in a hilarious way? right up my alley

Magmortar: Everyone forgets this thing, me included, which is odd because when I do remember it it’s pretty good. That typing is actually really handy. Rainfish is not something you want to deal with.

Suor: Gotta love how versatile it is for a relatively niche pokémon: access to Tentacruel's typing, both spikes and Explosion? Sign me up. It will probably end up underappreciated in this list though.

Cybat: There was a "most forgettable Pokemon" topic a long time ago and I looked through the lists and posted Qwilfish. And since then I have always remembered this little guy because of his forgettableness.

Anagram: I’d rank it higher but for the terrible mouth.

Natwaf: The inferior Water/Poison of early pokemon. That said, it has different roles, so it's not too bad. I can't stand it's looks though.

Natwaf’s Nicknames: Both Genders: Fugu

KBM Completely middle-ground, and pretty good for a one-off Pokémon... but when you consider how many Water Pokémon are in this gen, and how generally good they are, I kind of have to consider it a disappointment.

Stifled: Kinda reminds me of the blowfish enemies in Super Mario World.

Raka: It's pretty cool because of its unique typing (not counting Tentas). Why are Gen 2 Pokes so weak?

Preston: Board 8 has very weird taste in Pokémon. I mean if you are going to rank Swinub you might as well get rid of Piloswine right after no? Anyways Qwilfish just screams windbag to me with it's poisonous spikes. Screw you Qwilfish.

Gen: I guess we really needed a pufferfish so now we have one no one cares about. Yay?

Mana: I feel like I've always wanted to like Qwilfish more than I do, but it's hard to justify. Swarm Pokemon, worse than Tentacruel, I've never seen it in battle before. I do like its design and it has Spikes.

CasanovaZelos: There are just so many water Pokemon, and it doesn't do anything to stand out.

Goa: Much better things could have been done with a pufferfish. Instead I usually forget it exists.

Brayze: angry pinecone with an imposing sprite what has made you angry pineco is it that I knocked you out of a tree I just wanted delicious honey oh well go in this ball and stay in the computer forever. Also this is the first bagworm pokemon, because an animal that is interesting to emulate in videogames is the bagworm

Paratroopa: http://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/gold/normal/pineco.png OH HOLY F*** DON'T KILL ME OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

MSG: It's a pine cone Pokemon. Named Pineco. I find that absolutely hilarious.

Anagram: It’s like someone said “Make me a pinecone pokemon,” and the concept artist literally just drew a pinecone and added angry eyes to it.

KBM: It's a bug that doesn't look like a bug, so I can deal with it. And it evolves into something kickass. And there's something really really funny about the fact that they literally rendered a PINE CONE, put eyes on it, and said “Hey, guys, look, here's our new Pokémon!”

Stifled: I kinda like this line because of Pokemon Conquest.

Preston: <3 Censorship <3

Goa: This is about as high as I can put a Pinecone Pokemon. Especially one that like to self destruct when you try and catch it.

Starfox: Its design might be stupidly simple, but I still think it’s kind of cool looking

Magmortar: There are a lot of arguments as to why real life Pokemon is an awful idea, but I feel Pineco is one of the strongest ones. Something causes a tree to shake. Pineco falls down. It explodes. You die. Fun.

Natwaf: I remember I was playing Nuzlocke of Bloody Platinum, and I ran into a Pineco while using a Mew… AND THE ****ER EXPLODED IN MY FACE. That was a hilarious way to lose a party member. *shaskes fist*

Cybat: The idea of exploding pine cones is pretty terrifying when you think about it.

CasanovaZelos: A pinecone. Surprisingly cute. Flubbin: I kind of like it for some reason even though it’s just a literal pinecone.

Gen: Ugh. Just ugh.

Wizards: Literally a pinecone.

Raka: So meaningless, worthless…pine cone with eyes…man, that's a stroke of genius. Like, a clotted blood vessel of a genius.

Raka: Mmm I like Pokemon with big…HP. Also, it's ruffly.

Preston: Blissey is pretty annoying online. I'm not going to prevaricate here about this. Blissey has the highest HP stat of any Pokémon. But Blissey is cute and I liked Jessie and her little story arc with Blissey and for that? I put it in the Top 40. Not top of the line but not bad either.

Suor: “It is a Pokémon that delivers happiness” LMAO

CasanovaZelos: I could really have put this near the top or bottom. It all depends on if I'm using Blissey or fighting it.

Cybat: I can't understand how someone would think it would be a good idea to give any Pokemon base 255 HP, especially when the bars used to count down linearly instead of proportionally. And that's not even getting into its weird, weird design.

Gen: I know a lot of people are going to love or hate Blissey, but well... I happen to be in the indifferent minority. Yep it sure was a competitive nightmare in its heyday and tbh she's still got a lot to offer.

Stifled: Chansey didn’t need an evolution.

Ecks: Such a pain, and it's so happy looking. It just sits there smiling as I'm pounding away at it, almost as if it likes it…

KBM: This sort of combines the bad design choices of things like Wigglytuff and Clefable with the bad design choices of things like Igglybuff and Cleffa. Notice there are certain lines that I just think try way too hard.

Brayze: “let’s make it cold stop special attackers and give it recovery and evasion”

Starfox: Strike one: Overly designed to be cute, which automatically makes it the opposite. Strike two: Its purpose in battle is quite literally the worst. Strike three: By merely existing it made Chansey even stronger because of eviolite. Just… why?

Anagram: It’s honestly not SO terrible, but my experiences playing Pokemon singles forever ruins certain pokemon. Blissey is not quite at the top of the list, but it’s still ruined for me. Why does Chansey even need an evolution? It’s already very good on its own.

Eddv: Die.

Paratroopa: sometimes I still see blissey's face in all of my worst nightmares

Sanity: Chansey is terrible looking, and this is even worse.

Natwaf: WHY DOES THIS PINK ABOMINATION EXIST? WHY GOD WHY? One half of the dreaded Skarmbliss combo, and a gigantic pain in the ass when you fight one. See: Most of what I ssaid in the Chansey Writeup. DIE PINK BLOB LINE, DIE!

Magmortar: Blissey is a pink fat fuck who put Regice out of a job and has served no purpose other than to torment me by existing. It is a fucking abomination. It makes Lulu look like Ride the Lightning. Blissey also retroactively made Chansey a more annoying Pokemon because it let Chansey hold the Eviolite. Why does it exist. I want to kill it. Repeatedly. How can anyone unironically (or even ironically) like this thing. Look at that dumb face. And all that HP. It won’t die. It’s just a stupid bitch. Why.

Brayze: He has four tiny tufts on his underside that I guess are feet, but that I KNOW are adorable

KBM: If you disregard the out-of-place pig nose (I try to), he's actually really cute. It helps that I've actually used him so I got used to his sprite from behind.

Gen: Cute sleepy piglet...

Anagram: It’s better than Piloswine purely because it’s at least cute.

Paratroopa: go swinub. find all the poketruffles. you can do it.

Magmortar: It’s adorable, especially with those eyes shut all the time, but otherwise is just okay. Hard to believe what it evolves into now, though. Seriously. And that typing is always going to be really cool.

CasanovaZelos: The design is kind of basic, but I've always had a soft spot for the Swinub line.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. I like its eyes though.

Raka: It's a hairy pig…well, it's cute.

Preston: IDGAF about Swinub

Stifled: So it’s walking foot fungus?

Cybat: Well it has a cool type combination. But just not an appealing design at all.

Goa: One of the few Pokemon besides Paras I actually feel sorry for. A little cute, very helpless. I doubt anyone at the time thought that one day a very special Swinub would grow up to shake up the Pokemon World Championships over a decade later.

Suor: The only remarkable thing about this loser is that its Powder Snow in the TCG made the opponent fall asleep. That's how boring it is.

Wickle: I don't even know. I like some Gen 2 weirdness.

Goa: Seems unremarkable, until you realize he's a deer that can use hypnosis on you. I really don't want one of these things in my headlights.

Magmortar: Deer god, it’s pretty nice. Could be better. A lot better. Still kind of cool all around, gets some good moves. Yeah that’s it for Stantler.

Poke: Stantler the Mantler

Stifled: It’s like Sawsbuck only not.

Paratroopa: was the most forgettable pokemon until I found out that it's danny sexbang's favorite pokemon. now I have a reason to always remember stantler and his dumb face

MSG: Stantler, aka not-Tauros.

KBM: It would be quite majestic if it weren't so weirdly round in random places. If this was trying to be this generation's Tauros, I don't get the feeling it's working out so well for it.

Cybat: I had never noticed this but it has a really ugly large ball for a tail. Very weird. Cool concept though, with the antlers giving it abilities.

Natwaf: Probably my #1 most forgotten pokemon. Like, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this thing. Does this thing stand out in anyway?

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Male: Bambi
Female: Faline

Brayze: I invite you all to regard stantler’s tail.

Anagram: The absolute definition of forgettable. People always point to Masquerain or Lumineon, but it’s Stantler. At least Lumineon is so unnecessary as to be memorable, and Masquerain evolves from something with a unique typing. Tell me anything about ****ing Stantler, why don’t you.

CasanovaZelos: Just a deer.

Preston: Gametrailers.com did a countdown one time of the Top 10 Most Pointless Pokémon and Stantler was #1 if I remember correctly. And I can intend to agree with them about that. Here's the link for those of you that haven't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvI5xcny9mQ

Raka: lol what. At least that episode about them is pretty good, if only they could learn an unique hypnotism move

Gen: My reasons for hating this pokémon are unfathomable even to myself. I think the closest approximation to an explanation I can make is that it is literally too boring to exist.

CasanovaZelos: The best of the mid-stage starters. Looks like it should be dark type.

Stifled: So hideous. That said it still makes the top half of the list with little resistance.

KBM: The weird mohawk thing throws me a little.

Magmortar: Cavegator? Oooooh yes. Has always had this strange, unexplainable appeal to me.

Natwaf: Cave man look just doesn't work on this NFE Trash. That said, I still like it getting Ice Fang early.

Paratroopa: yeah maybe the caveman unitard/half eggshell diaper/whatever look wasn't the best idea here croconaw just put some pants on

Comm: Worst starter by far. Look at that stupid ass jaw.

Wickle: My little buddy, why'd you grow to be ugly? Wrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy

Anagram: This thing looks like it ought to be the dishwasher in the Flintstones.

OrangeCrush: A classic case of "amazing first form, awful middle form, amazing last form"

Gen: ... What's with the Fred Flinstone print hide? I love the alpha and omega but this beta loser is a middie even I can't love.

Suor: I bet they thought putting a “caveman cloth-like” pattern on it was a good idea. It was not.

Cybat: This gen has easily the worst set of starters. And being the middle child in the worst of the three lines is not going to work out well for you.

Raka: I think this is the lowest I will ever put a starter on its gen's list. I just don't like caveman couture and it looks like a fat and annoying bully

Flubbin: Croconaw is just…not good. He looks like such a dweeb.

Brayze: Another difficult pokemon puberty

Anagram: I don’t know why, but I have a real soft spot for this stupid thing. It’s not well-designed at all and it’s legitimately stupid in a bad way—but for some unknowable reason, I kind of like it.

Cybat: Fastest non-uber quasi-reliable sleep inducer in the game, I believe. Has to count for something. But yeah, for some reason I just like this guy.

Brayze: Dandelion puff cheerleader wants his teammates to succeed! He will help by mostly floating around and getting killed

Preston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKuX0hDzrM8

Suor: The idea of a floaty, happy cotton-dispenser is lovely. I wish Hoppip would skip to Jumpluff right away instead of going through a green vomit phase.

Raka: Eh it's okay. Why are Gen 2 Pokes not competitively viable?

Goa: Oh god, all this time I spent raising a terrible evolution line, and you reward me with a weed that is the fear of lawns everywhere?

Stifled: Can it blow away like the plants?

Magmortar: It still looks stupid. It is fast. That’s it. Why. I guess it’s a decent SubSeeder (although Sceptile and I would guess Whimsicott are even better) but meh.

Natwaf: Honest to god I don't know what to say here. This entire line is my very definition of MEH. Well, I guess that's not true. It's weak as hell, and for my 100% Super Chatelaine Nita counter, I needed a high leveled one to pass Worry Seed to a Cottonee. Jumpluff looks better

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Male: EliWhitney

Female: Cotton Gin

Brayze: Way better than electabuzz or electivire for that matter, rad little dude with a plug for a face and also hands, that lets you run at least three appliances at the same time off your elekid provided you have giant plugs, except wait plugs mean he draws power from outlets I’m confused how is this elekid even useful

Stifled: One of the few babies I actually like. He looks like a plug. And I enjoy yellow things.

Gen: Is it just me or does this lil' guy totally rock every anime appearance it's ever made? Seriously I have yet to see a lame Elekid appear in the anime and with baby pokémon that is no easy feat. Yop... Elekid is NOT my least favorite in its line, nor is it my favorite, but he's cool and especially so for a baby.

Preston: Elekid and Igglybuff were the best of the Baby Pokémon in my opinion. I'm able to make the fancy E in Pokémon in my write-ups because Hotmail.com auto-corrects my write-ups and I send it to Starfox2245 on Yahoo. Yay and stuff. :)

Magmortar: Probably my all-time favorite baby Pokemon, which has to be one of the least notable “achievements” I can think of. This is largely because of it being pretty good for a first former, and I like the shade of yellow it is.

KBM: I really ought to use one of these at some point. I really like the rest of the line, but I've never actually used any of them. The plug-in at the top of its head is really kind of dumb design, though – it's not that clever and it would really look better without it.

CasanovaZelos: Maybe the plug on top of it's head is a bit over the top, but I don't care. A perfect pre-evolution for Electabuzz. Also, why do these exist? I would have figured the whole purpose of baby Pokemon was to make otherwise Fully Evolved Pokemon fun to raise up with the rest of the team, but I think Tyrogue is the only baby Pokemon during Gen II to be found in the wild. You have to specifically breed for the others, defeating their purpose.

Starfox: It’s the best baby of the gen, for sure, and its design is okay… but it doesn’t have a whole lot else going for it.

Raka: Best baby Pokemon since it looks different enough from its evo yet still retains its characteristics, and it doesn't make me want to drink drain cleaner.

MSG: Yeah, lol babbies and all, but Elekid was probably the sole babby done right. He has this aura around him like "I won't be a part of yo' system!" What a rebel.

Suor: I kind of like Elekid despite it being a baby. The power plug antennas are a clever idea and it looks more competent than most babies and sure as hell more competent than Teddiursa.

Paratroopa: as far as babies go, pretty good! as far as turning electabuzz into a likeable pokemon, still a ways to go

Logicblade: Best baby. Still dumb.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. I like Elekid's looks, but when I tried to use one, it was lacking… something. At least it's existence allows it to appear early… well, maybe not that early, but earlier than Electabuzz.

Drak: This guy looks like such a douchebag. And not in a good way. He has the most incredibly punchable face.

Cybat: At least this one has a mildly clever design that looks different from but related to its parent.

Anagram: You ever wonder how this thing existed pre-electrical sockets? I mean, presumably Electabuzz predates modern electricity usage. But it’s clearly evolved for the purpose of stealing electricity.

GoaFan: Gets bonus points for basically being a sentient pile of Napalm. I bet some of them are Vietnam war vets. No one ever gives them any credit.

Sanity: I love slugs. A slug made of fire is awesome.

Paratroopa: you cannot touch slugma. his majesty is too great for mortals to behold

Magmortar: Lava slug. How do you even stand near this thing. I don’t know, but it is also cute. In its own weird way. It could evolve sooner, though.

Anagram: The only thing I know about Slugma is from brazeku, who informed me that you literally can’t pet it in Pokemon Amie. It wants to love you, but it burns all it touches. Poor little guy.

KBM: I do kind of wish it were less drippy and sluggish (lawl), but I'll take my Fire type victories where I can get them, and in a generation like this one where the Fire starter is lame, I'll take this as a moderate victory. He's not GREAT but he's something.

Stifled: It’s a little fire blob. If it actually is a slug, why isn’t it part bug type?

Comm: Balls hanging off its chin. Literally balls.

Raka: BiTF had a good comic about petting your Slugma in Pokemon-Amie

CasanovaZelos: Just a fiery blob, but a cute fiery blob.

Gen: Looks kind of like an orange pancake that got burnt yet is still runny somehow. With eyeballs. Yup.
Natwaf: NFE Trash. Kind of hilarious trying to pet it in Pokemon Amie

Cybat: All I can think of now when I think of Slugma is this: http://pokebot.everyboty.net/pix/570.png

MSG: Not a final evo? Check. No one used him ever? Check. Boring design? Check. Nothing unique about his moveset or typing? Check. I do believe he'll win the award for least write-ups...... AW S*** WHAT DID I JUST DO

Preston: Anyone here remember playing Pokémon Colosseum? Back in Pokémon Colosseum there were only 48 obtainable Pokémon you could catch (given there were over 300 at this point) this is a very small selection pool. Slugma is one of only THREE fire types in the whole game. Entei, Quilava and Slugma. That's it. I'm not even kidding you. You had to raise a Slugma and Slugma sucked. It barely got the job done. The Fire / Rock combo is terrible (X4 weak to Water) and any Water attack will likely knock it out in one hit. Ugggggggghhh. Screw you Slugma.

Arti: I can never remember this guy even exists.

Anagram: Natu barada nikto

Goa: Sitting around in a tree all day watching the future... no wonder he got the answer to the universe.

CasanovaZelos: Simply cuteness incarnate.

Gen: Has there ever been a more appropriate species name for a pokémon ever? Go on I challenge you to find one.

Magmortar: Tiny ass psychic bird. Whatever.

Natwaf: NFE Trash of a line I love aesthetically but… never got around to using it.

Raka: Nimble avian, trifling utility

Preston: Natu would be 5,000 times more cooler if it had a color scheme like Iago but noooooo. Stifled: It’s like an early Angry Birds prototype.

Ermine: I'm one of the few advocators of Togetic >>>>>>Togekiss>Togepi and this is just on design perspective. Togetic is the perfect design for this line and I find myself wishing it didn't have a form after because it's just weird and outrageous. <3 Togetic.

Preston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydIeqK3-pt4

Brayze: Weirdest looking normal/flying pokemon, not really normal at all, sort of looks like a hand mixer I have but covered with toejam and earl 90s triangles.

Natwaf: Both it's pre-evo and evo look better. Tried it a bit in my first HG run. It sucked.

CasanovaZelos: The ugly stepchild of the Togepi line.

Stifled: They like long necks in Gen 2. And you know what they say about long necks, don’t ya? They need long sweaters!

Anagram: I don’t even know what this is, except that by its stomach design, I guess Togepi’s egg is actually part of it, instead of just something it hatched in like all other pokemon. Who knew?

Raka: http://www.alice-in-wonderland.net/alicepic/alice-in-wonderland/1book4.jpg

Paratroopa: first prize in being a better pokemon that togepi good job

Gen: Sorry Ermine. This line got no redemption until Togekiss for me. Togetic is just like a weird stretched out version of something I didn't like sans an egg diaper. Also it has a fat ass.

Cybat: Very unattractive design that makes even less sense now than it did then given Togekiss's different body shape. I did train one up in Gold for the sole purpose of Metronome shenanigans though.

Magmortar: Simply put, Togetic is ASS. A. S. S. It’s not cute at all and is just miserable.

KBM: ...The hell did you turn into, Togepi?

MSG: Togepi is actually kinda nifty, and was a cool way to introduce eggs into the franchise. When it first hatched, I thought "Hmm, I bet this evolves into something pretty great." Not exactly. Why would the egg part persist into a final form of something (at the time)? There was a lot of potential with its line that wouldn't be even close to realized for two more Generations.

Mana: ...What. What even is this? Did they intentionally make it terrible so they could justify Togepi never evolving in the show? Why does it even have those marks on its body? Why does Togepi evolve with the damn egg? Speaking of, "Friendship" evolution. Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

Raka: Yeah, yeah, I know. This will probably end up in Bottom 20, but I had a really useful Level 100 in-game one. It's design is cute yet quaint. And hey, corals.

Suor: The best city ever in the Pokémon World is built upon Corsolas. Gotta love how Misty's Corsola was far more competent than her Starmie has ever been. Super cute and funny.

Ecks: Used one in my party for the first time in HG/SS, THAT was a challenge. Could really use an evolution, and it would be so easy to make one.

Paratroopa: took a piece of coral and put a happy face on it. f***ing. GENIUS

Gen: This "dumb pink thing" is so adorable I can't find a reason to rank it lower. I mean I wouldn't be incorrect in saying it's terrible in battle and there's no reason to use it instead of many other Water/Rock types but just look at its smiley face...

Brayze: Corsola is stupid but in an inoffensive way, I can’t believe they blew their wad on a coral pokemon in gen 2, this seems more like a gen 17 idea

Goa: Given that Coral can be almost any shape or color, its a little sad they made this a one off instead of a full evolution line that might actually be used for something.

Anagram: Why does GameFreak even make things like this? Things that clearly need to evolve, but have no evolutions. I just don’t understand their motives.

Stifled: It’s literally a sea Chansey.

Magmortar: Stupid looking, borders on being completely useless, and has no business being obtained so late for a Pokemon of its…caliber. The fact it’s this high while still being a 2/10 Pokemon speaks VOLUMES about this generation.

CasanovaZelos: Another one stage Pokemon to catch for Pokedex entry and shove into the PC.

Natwaf: My first Pokeradar Shiny. A true blue poke. Still godawful, so down you go.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Both Genders: G.Barrier

Preston: The Borewhore of the sea. Boo you whore.

Cybat: Nothing interesting about it whatsoever.

KBM: I don't even know what this is. It's like they took Jigglypuff or Clefairy or something and they stabbed it with oddly-shaped spears and skin grew over them for some reason. I feel like it's MAYBE supposed to be cute?... but... it's not?

Anagram: Cousin It with tusks.

Brayze: He’s mostly funny because you can’t see his eyes, sort of like the Japanese in general

Paratroopa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUuHdtJ0akM for some reason I kind of imagine piloswine makes noises like this. every pokemon should make noises like this, even ones like clefairy

Suor: Kind of looks like a hobo swine, kind of the only endearing thing about it but it's more than anything I ranked below it ever had going for them.

Gen: Great in battle, not so great to look at. What happened to mah cute lil' piggy?

Cybat: Its proportions are confusing to me. It's supposed to be a boar, but why is it so tall? One of the few Pokemon designs improved by a gen 4 evolution.

Preston: Piloswine reminds me of that one time where Criss Angel did that one thing in Las Vegas with a vending machine. Vending machines are dangerous like trying to put on your clothes while driving like who does that? Do they go in the car wearing nothing? Or even worse try driving and joggling at the same time. What if you are driving and see a giant clown?

Magmortar: Not completely terrible; design is…kind of…wait for it…COOL. Oh man I’m a genius. When it comes to battling it is REALLY bad (although with the Eviolite it is a lot better).

Stifled: So it’s the walking foot fungus of the giant at the top of the beanstalk?

CasanovaZelos: The king of baby Pokemon.

Cybat: I don't know if this counts as a baby Pokemon. But it is actually cute, and you get it as part of the story in GSC so it feels rewarding instead of tedious to get one. Plus, Metronome!

Natwaf: TOGEPRII! Or however it's cry goes. Too bad it evolved into the horrible Togetic. As it is, it's still NFE Trash

Logicblade: Doesn't count as a baby, despite the fact it totally is. It's adorability raises it above the poop tier.

KBM: I wish there were more reasons to like Togepi; I want to like him more than I do.

Goa: It would do much better on a WTF ranking.

Stifled: The anime may have hurt Togepi’s ranking a bit. That thing is so annoying.

Anagram: One of the only three baby pokemon that aren’t complete crap because they’re babies, Togepi is instead complete crap because it’s just terrible.

Ermine: Inferior to Togetic.

Magmortar: Cute Pokemon still have to be useful once in a while for me to appreciate cuteness. Take a guess as to what Togepi isn’t.

Gen: Thanks a f***in' lot for starting the baby trend you worthless thing you. You're not even that cute!

Paratroopa: if I had a togepi egg I could crack it open and make an omelette

Paratroopa: I will never understand how they got through an entire generation of pokemon without making a spider pokemon. like, spiders have so many awesome animal superpowers that you could feasibly make a whole pokemon generation of just spiders. you could call it spidermon. there could be a fire spider, an ice spider, a dragon spider. ooh, how about a fighting spider that has boxing gloves on all eight of its legs. oooh or how about a bug spider. it's a spider on top of another spider. it has two heads, sixteen legs, and an undying hatred of all life

Anagram: By far the inferior NFE spider.

Magmortar: I hate spiders. That applies to Pokemon too (at least until fifth gen). Especially really bad Pokemon. At least it has a decent color scheme.

Cybat: I like how it looks like it's frowning at you when you see it from the back. Not…much else to say.

Natwaf: NFE Trash. Who's a cute spider? You are, yes you are! But not the cutest.

KBM: I don't like bugs.

Cybat: I always liked this little guy; even though his typing and stat spread are beyond worthless for its ability, something about its design really spoke to me. Its attack animation in X/Y is really good.

Raka: I've always liked its bug eyes, alien look. Yeah it suck otherwise, but hey, everyone has a little hipster inside their heart.

Gen: Superhero ladybug! It had a cape-like extension BEFORE cape-like extensions were cool so suck on THAT! I love its eyes but man Bug pokémon suck.

Starfox: I like its design quite a bit, actually… its eyes look pretty cool, and I like the super hero-esque look it has. I remember using it when I first played Silver… I also remember it kinda sucking, but whatever. Still liked it.

Wickle: One thing brought up in the last one was the Flying thing that doesn't belong. This guy is among them, but like Scyther, I found a reason to like this guy, in this one, it's his punching abilities.

Anagram: Looks like a sentai hero, but it sure as hell doesn’t act like one.

Preston: There really isn't much to prospect about Ledian. It's just a ladybug. A plain old, boring ladybug.

Paratroopa: hey four arms that means you can suck four times as hard

Stifled: Angry ladybug? That doesn’t add up.

Brayze: The crappiest multi-stage fully evolved pokemon. Tons of physical moves, an ability that increases the power of punching moves, running off an attack of 35. Normally I don’t really rank based on viability but ledian is actually insulting to me

Natwaf: FE Trash. This line is just awful, and Ledian looks weird. Fun fact: To this day, I have NEVER received a male Ledyba. Go figure. I've got a nickname ready for when the day finally arrives though

Magmortar: It’s just so awful. And badly designed. Seriously look at those eyes those are just what the fuck. It’s just…man the bad Pokemon in GSC are REALLY bad. Why is its Hidden Ability Iron Fist anyway?!

CasanovaZelos: The evolution of the most forgettable first route Pokemon. Absolutely useless in every way.

KBM: I reeeeeeally don't like bugs.

Wickle: Octillery's rival.

KBM: Holy s*** it's a bug type that I actually really like (not that there's much reason that it's a bug to begin with). Steel is also one of the cooler types that never gets implemented well, so there's that.

Cybat: Clever name, good stat distribution, and great typing. Not too shabby.

Magmortar: Mr. Utility! One of the all-time greats in support Pokemon. Design never really spoke to me though.

CasanovaZelos: A beast to fight if you lack a fire type. They really did a good job introducing the steel type considering my lowest comes at 36.

Stifled: I kinda like this line because of Pokemon Conquest. This one benefits from being more colorful than it’s unevolved form.

Paratroopa: on the internet, someone, somewhere, probably still wants to f*** this thing

Anagram: Way too common in Singles for its own good. Hope you like spikes and explosion, because that’s what you’re getting.

Suor: I got to like Forretress quite a bit. It's a steel ball that spins and throws spikes around, I love spikes and things that spin. Starmie is the best and haters suck.

Preston: I believe Forretress knows Explosion. That is both a good and bad thing.

Brayze: What is with those tubes. I mean they have to be for eating, crapping, and gettin’ it on because the rest of the thing is a metal plate.

Natwaf: You know what you're up against when you see one in battle. Entry Hazards, Gyro Balls, and Explosion. And good golly god did it suck in Pokemon Conquest. Then again, the user is considered a fool, so you know, fitting and all that. But as much as I dislike it in combat, I love it's design. It's screaming "TRY TO MOVE ME BRO!". Burn it with the fires of hell.

Magmortar: Cyberduck (even dipping its head into water in 3D sometimes) is one of my favorites. Trace with those defenses and a nice Special Attack stat just oozes coolness. Shame its evolution screwed it out of showing up in the anime!

Paratroopa: porygon2 is toy series with strong sense for playing and making seizures in small child. LAY EGG IS FALSE

Cybat: There are a lot of things I don't understand about this line - why is making it look more like a duck an upgrade? How did they make it and why don't they make more? But it is an interesting idea.

Goa: Well, I guess that what increasing Porygon's Polycount would look like.

Natwaf: Looks sleek. And more like a duck. Yet Porygon's look is more endearing to me. Still not battle ready yet.

Anagram: Poor Porygon2. It and Porygon-Z are the only pokemon to never be in the anime ever, and it’s not even Porygon’s fault.

Brayze: A better version of porygon based on a drinkin bird but not as cool as porygon-z, based on an epileptic

CasanovaZelos: I love the sleek design as an improvement over Porygon's.

Suor: Sometimes I still feel sad because of how charming polygonal N64 models of Bowser and Princess Peach looked compared to their recent polished designs, makes me wish they were playable in Smash 64. One of the reasons I still like them a lot is because of that connection and it's something they share with Porygon2. I liked Porygon's sharp edges more, but Porygon2 is a graphically enhanced Porygon, I can't hate on it.

Raka: Blobs hahahahahaha. Oh, circles. I'm not making any sense, am I?

Gen: Best Porygon by a country mile. That's not saying a whole lot though.

Stifled: Evolve into Porygon-Z plz.

Starfox: I really like Porygon and Porygon-Z, but… not so much with this thing. I like that its design looks like Porygon with an increased polygon count, but… that just kinda makes it look lame.

Preston: Did you guys know that Caleigh Peters is Barbra Streisand's granddaughter?

KBM: I will never understand what's going on with the different types of Porygon, and I honestly don't really care. The original Porygon is pretty cool-looking, but I don't understand what differentiates the rest of them, nor do I understand why they had to further develop the thing into “different Pokémon.” It was fine as it was without doing weird things to it and pretending it's something completely different – essentially I find the evolutions frustratingly uncreative and wish it had been let be.

Logicblade: Porygons are dumb.

Mana: Porygon was never a favorite and Held Item evolutions are a major turn-off towards liking a Pokemon. Porygon2 has some pretty cool movesets and the best design of the line, but I am just not a fan.

Karo: It should be consigned to the recycle bin along with its entire line.

Anagram: By far the best thing to come out of the baby pokemon debacle. Pichu is legitimately a good design, and I just wish all the baby pokemon could be like it. Also, I liked having a Dan Hibiki in Smash. Give us another useless joke character, Sakurai!

Bane: A baby pokemon as a Top 10? Yeah, but Pichu is great. It’s way too adorable not to like for me, and you can see how it grows into Pikachu. The oversized ears really make it for me.

Eddv: Pichu is a cool dude.

Stifled: And the award for ‘what the f*** are you doing in Smash Bros’ goes to…

CasanovaZelos: A baby Pokemon less cute than its evolution, that's strange. Still cute.

Wickle: I will admit Pikachu's hate comes from its popularity, and my love for Pichu comes to spite Pikachu. I even loved using Pichu in SSBM.

KBM: Just look at that thing. How can you NOT think it's adorable. Sure, maybe it's not quite as cuddly as Pikachu, but it's certainly better than Raichu. Also, bonus points for the hilariously useless SSBM character being one of my favorite Super Smash characters ever.

Drak: I dislike Pikachu for two reasons. First, in the anime, it hogs the spotlight from a lot of Ash's much cooler pokemon. Second, some old Pikachu art makes it look bloated and ugly. But Pichu doesn't have either of these problems.* It's just small and cute. So I'm cool with it. Disclaimer: I haven't watched past the first season and if Pichu becomes a show hog later I don't care

Ecks: This high mostly because of goggles Pichu in Melee. It's really pretty cute. Suor: I'd be lying if I said Pichu would be this high without Melee.

Gen: I imagine this as being virtually the least offensive baby pokémon by far and well I can't fimd much fault in it. It is what it is.

Paratroopa: HEY KIDS DO YOU LIKE PIKACHU WELL GET A LOAD OF SMALL PIKACHU OH GOD I LOVE MONEY

Magmortar: I would have rather had it in Smash 4 than Dark Pit. I don’t know if that counts as a compliment or not, because Pichu is still pretty terrible. Just better than Dark Pit (and Pikachu of course).

Raka: Blah, it's okay. Did they really need to make a tinier, 'cuter' Pikachu? No. They don't. And that is just a fact. Those developers don't know how to act.

Brayze: What’s yellow and dumb and who even cares

Starfox: Didn’t like the Pikachu line too much anyway, and giving it an obnoxiously cute baby just makes it worse

MSG: Fun to troll as in SSBM. Not fun in any other aspect.

Goa: Worst Smash Bros clone ever.

Cybat: Poor Pichu. Probably the laziest of the baby designs, but hey, we'll always have Melee.

Natwaf: Baby Trash. The cutest of the awful baby batch. Notch/Spiky-Eared Pichu is adorable. Inclusion in Smash was kind of… wut, but hey. It's still an awful baby.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Pichu-Pikachu-Raichu

Male: Jean Luc, Lt. Surge Female: Ash's

Preston: Useless piece of crap in Melee.

Logicblade: Garbage baby. Would be fine at 100, but this line was overrated to hell in Gen 1.

Poke: Love owls, first and only shiny (excluding Red Gyarados) Mr. Hoothoot is also adorable and friendly. I bet he could tell me how many licks it takes to get to the centre of a Tootsie Pop.

Goa: My brother would always go out of his way to use Hoothoot as his Pokemon to fly him anywhere. People for the Ethical Treatment of Pokemon will probably sue him one of these days.

Starfox: Easily the best early-game bird line thus far

Paratroopa: you can't fool owls, unless it's hoothoot. easily fooled. really just kind of the laughingstock of all owls everywhere.

Brayze: Hoothoot stands on only one leg because without that he wouldn’t be a pokemon he would be an owl

Gen: Its clock-themed eyebrows and eyelashes are pretty much the best. Ever. I miss when pokémon designers were clever like this. Also he stands on one foot at a time for no reason! Ain't it great?

Raka: Funny looking and I think the first Pokemon that's explicitly said in-game to only come out at night. That was pretty cool.

Magmortar: It has one leg. It just hops around…on ONE leg. Anyone else think that’s a little creepy? (yes it actually has two legs – but like I ever actually remember that. HOW COULD YOU TELL?!)

Anagram: When I was a kid, I decided I wanted to use Hoothoot instead of Pidgey, since I’d used the latter in Blue. However, I started playing the game in the middle of the day, and I didn’t have the patience to wait for night, so I just caught a Pidgey and moved on. To this day, Hoothoot/Noctowl remains the only Pidgey-equivalent I’ve never used.

Suor: Owls are the best birds

Stifled: It’s an owl with two of the same word crammed together into one word.

Cybat: Pretty memorable for the early Normal/Flying bird. Bad name though.

KBM: Probably my least favorite take on Pidgey.

CasanovaZelos: The first Pokemon I feel overall positive about. A nice, simple design, cool way to introduce day and night system back in Gen II.

Natwaf: NFE Trash, but still a better early bird than Pidgey. Speaking of which, augh Pidgeys all over early Johto.

Comm: ****le

Paratroopa: shuckle what are you doing with that berry SHUCKLE NO EW

Eddv: Troll Pokemon is the best

Brayze: He’s like a pile of floppy dongs in an old walnut, 10/10

Sanity: His face looks like a sock puppet.

MSG: ****LE

Natwaf: Ahh, the humble and oh so ****ing annoying shuckle. Looks stupid too. So why is this high? Because it can potentially deal millions of HP worth of damage.

Both Genders: Lumut

Wickle: Power Trick OP.

Anagram: Unremarkable other than that it can technically hit the hardest out of any pokemon in existence.
Stifled: Insert pen*s joke here. lol…insert.

Mana: I ranked my list four times after remembering all 100 Pokemon. Gligar and Shuckle would always, ALWAYS, be in the last four I'd struggle for hours to remember until I looked them up online.

CasanovaZelos: I like Pokemon found in unique ways, and Shuckle is found under rocks. Has one of the most interesting stat distributions.

Starfox: I think it’s neat that he’s the Pokemon capable of the highest possible damage output, but… the way you have to get him in GSC just bothers me. The guy gives you Shuckle for you to protect him because Silver stole his other Pokemon… then if you want to actually use/keep it, you’ve basically stolen it yourself because the trainer asks for him back. I know it’s a game and no one should care, but it still bothers me kinda.

Magmortar: I’ll always be debating on one thing about it. Did Game Freak intend for it to be a complete joke or not (being given Sticky Web seems to imply it they didn’t, but otherwise…)? It’s just so bad, and kind of dumb looking. It’s always looked more like a turtle than a bug to me.

Preston: Haven't you ever noticed that the drunk driver in a wreck is always in a truck?

Gen: Every time I think of this pokémon I imagine it as like a creature from the Flintstones. Betty: "Hey Wilma, what's that?" Wilma: "Oh that's just my juicer." *demonstrates* Shuckle: "Ehhh... it's a living!" I hear thanks to Power Trick and other uh... tricks it's now super useful as an attacker but it'll always be a staller and a blender to me.

KBM: Why are there so many bugs? At least this doesn't look as much like one as those I put below it.

Raka: It's fun to play with. Dem defense and speed.

Wickle: The first little dragonfly. I didn't like him primarily but since his evo came into play he got nicer.

Magmortar: Dragonfly’s hard to get for some reason and it is really bad. It looks cool though.

Goa: Kind of cool Pokemon made much cooler but its Gen IV evolution.

Gen: It's pretty cool. I love dragonflies IRL. They're second only to mantises in my favorite insect ranking.' I think a pokémon based on one could be better, but ain't no thang.

CasanovaZelos: One of those Pokemon I always forgets exist, helped out due to the fact it only appears rarely on an optional route in Gen II. Still a nice design for a bug Pokemon.

Suor: The good times when nobody remembered Yanma even existed, I was there.

Natwaf: For something really rare this is so not worth it. Huzzah for evolution!

KBM: This is actually pretty top-tier for a Bug Pokémon. But I'm not a fan of bugs.

Stifled: More like yawn-ma.

Raka: I've seen better bugs. It's weird how it retain its Japanese name (I think)

Preston: This write-up is dedicated and devoted to my man crush Chris O' Donnell. Do you guys watch NCIS: Los Angeles? Oh my god. I love him. He is so hot.

Mana: Yanmega's pretty awesome, but we were stuck with Yanma for a while. Why are Swarm Pokemon so boring? The design is really cool, though.

Anagram: I will admit that I like how its eyes make aviator goggles, but everything else about it is terrible.

Suor: I love Meganium both because of nostalgia towards my first starter and because of the way it's portrayed. There's also the fact that it actually looks calm and peaceful, there's no other fully evolved starter in the series that achieves this and it deserves credit. People who bash Meganium because of its usefulness have probably never used one or are biased or don't know what they're talking about. Bayleef stage in particular is beast compared to the garbage that are Croconaw and Quilava in battle, and Meganium is still quite good by the time you reach the league.

Wickle: A guilty pleasure of mine that he was my best friend's starter during the two of us playing HGSS. He actually made sure I didn't dislike the Poke. And the two of us traded babies of our Pokes, which we named as ourselves before giving to the other.

Raka: Well it looks dumb. Ughhh. One of the worst starter designs ever.

Paratroopa: it has that same dopey charm that I kind of like about dragonite, he seems like a dude that would totally be best buds but kind of frustratingly dimwitted sometimes we all have friends like that but they're not grass dinosaurs usually

KBM: This is a tough one for me. I almost really never like grass starters, and I don't like grass much as a type aesthetically, but I do like this line more than most. Fair to middling when balanced against my own prejudice.

Cybat: Venusaur had a flower as part of its design but still looks menacing. This is just…weird. Especially with its face like that in most of the art. Doesn't help that battle-wise it might be the worst starter.

Ecks: I have to give some credit to this line, it's not as bad as I remember. Meganium especially is improved for me, looks like a dinosaur.

CasanovaZelos: One of the ugliest fully evolved starters. I was also one of those weird children that picked Chikorita as my starter, so we had fun times together.

Stifled: So derpy. If not for Serperior, this would be the worst fully evolved grass starter. But since Serperior exists, it isn’t all that bad.

Goa: Another uninspiring grass starter final form. Gens III and IV did them so much better.

Natwaf: You'd think I'd like a plant dino, right? But Venusaur is WAY better, and Meganium is awful.

Preston: Still don't think this is cute. Chikorita is the worst starter ever and anybody that says otherwise doesn't even know what the word veracity means. Screw you Chikorita.

Brayze: Oh no somebody got stupid all over that venusaur doctors say he may never recover. Extra extra read all about it, disfigured venusaur sues generation two ‘I’m dumb as hell’ says ill-conceived freak

Starfox: Meganium more like Megaderpium. Got ‘em.

Magmortar: I don’t know how they made a starter just about useless, but they did. At least it has a stupid looking face. And a stupid cry. Stupid dinosaur thing.

Anagram: Ruins Chikorita and Bayleef, and I’m not entirely sure how. It’s not substantially different from Bayleef in design, but still—something is lost in the evolution.

Gen: This is the worst fully evolved starter ever, and the only one I'd put in my bottom ten per generation. I mean ye gods, I can deal with an ugly Pokémon because generally if it looks like ass then it looks like it can f*** some s*** up, but I almost regretted picking Totodile, because I could not take 'Silver seriously when he threw out this hot mess:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/7d/Spr_2c_154.gif

As if I needed any more reason to pick one of the other two.

Eddv: This is the stupidest looking thing. I hated this thing so much.

Suor: Giraffes are my favorite animals and Girafarig is so cute that I can't help but place it this high. It really should get some evolution or Mega for itself, but it's still great-looking and the tail being kind of creepy compared to the cute façade is unique and awesome.

Sanity: In terms of multiheaded Pokemon, I like the idea of this one. An inferior head and brain that is very primitive and feral. It's cool.

Wickle: First time seeing it? "lol no probably normal-type." Learned it was Norm-Psychic, "GOTTA CATCH IT" Then I liked it.

Stifled: hay guyz it’s the same front and back lololol articUNO zapDOS mewTHREE. Coincidentally, I really like him because he reminds me of the Toys R’ Us giraffe.

Paratroopa: oh I get it, his name is like, one of those technodrome things

Magmortar: Palindrome name is good and so is the chain chomp tail. Could use an evolution but I really like it as it is. Typing’s definitely cool (albeit like with every Psychic type, is now really really bad…at least it’s immune to something).

Starfox: I kinda like its design, and I really like its typing… if only it didn’t suck in battle

Natwaf: I like the idea of Girafarig, and Normal/Psychic. Still weak, and I'm pretty sure it's just typed that way to extol the virtues of the Dark type.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Male: Janus
Female: Therese, Voerman

Goa: That tail is horrifying on an otherwise cute Pokemon.

Cybat: Who doesn't love palindromes? Cool design and typing but sadly it's not very useful. Would love to see it get an evolution. Okapipako?

Raka: I also like its gimmick. Normal / Psychic? Too bad it's so weak and worthless.

Preston: Toys R Us

Gen: Neat concept with a meh execution. yay for palindromes~

KBM: I have always felt like I should like this one more than I do, but... it's just so boring. It's a psychic giraffe with a tail in blackface. That's literally it.

CasanovaZelos: Normal/Psychic is such a weird typing, especially as the first normal/x type outside of flying. A pretty cool design, but functionally useless.

Brayze: Real clever

Anagram: Probably the most forgettable pokemon with a unique typing, at least until Meloetta showed up.

MSG: This was the first time they experimented with Normal/Not Flying, something I wish they'd done more of. Psychic was a perfect fit for that second typing, too, as it totally nullifies one of its few weaknesses: Ghost, and takes away Normal's sole weakness in Fighting. It's just really unfortunate that it resulted in the disaster that is Girafarig, who otherwise has no redeemable qualities whatsoever.

Wickle: Another awesome sea creature.

Suor: Manta-rays are an amazing and fascinating species, so of course Mantine was bound to be among the best pokémon in Gen II. I wish it could work as well as a Special sponge as Skarmory works as a Physical sponge. I think they should go full-circle with both it and Skarmory and make them both three-stages evolutive lines. I want my giant-ass flying manta-ray that uses Octillerys as cannons (and my fully armored bird that throws swords at enemies).

Gen: ... I don't even know. I like its face and I like manta rays. Isn't that enough for you people!?

Brayze: I used to think that manta rays were smart like octopus but apparently they aren’t, turns out I have a bias and just think every weird looking sea creature is smart so long as it has visible eyes (not you, sea cucumbers)

Paratroopa: I like to imagine a remoraid ran into it one day with its mouth open and just kind of got stuck there and couldn't figure out how to get out of its predicament because remoraid is not a pokemon that is just shining brilliantly with intelligence and mantine just kind of made that :| face and was like "well, this is life now, I guess"

Goa: Derpy, yet somewhat magestic at the same time.

KBM: I like this well enough for eventually giving us Mantyke, which is SUPER cute and has a pretty unique way of evolving. But alas, that's really all it has going for it, and that doesn't even apply to this generation.

Wizards: Screw you, you killed Steve Irwin.

Stifled : Why is this thing so hard to catch? It must be fleeing Steve Irwin’s crime scene.

Preston: Sting rays killed Steve Irwin so screw Mantine.

Natwaf: Probably supposed to be Skarmory's and/or Gyarados' counterpart, being a specially defnsive Water/Flying. That didn't work out AT ALL.

Cybat: Manta rays are sweet but this guy is not very interesting. Doesn't help that he has very unfortunate typing for a special wall.

Anagram: Water/Flying pokemon #54132 is pretty damn ****. I don’t mind the idea of a manta ray pokemon at all, but can you really tell me that Mantine is anything other than garbage?

Raka: Who had the idea to give this thing a pre-evo?

CasanovaZelos: The winner of the award for least worthy Pokemon to get a preevolution.

Magmortar: Mantine has the dumbest face (why does near-every GSC Pokemon have those bead eyes) and was boned from the start by that typing. Gyarados gets by because it’s fucking Gyarados but Mantine doesn’t have that kind of coolness value. Or stats. But I love its cry for some reason, and it does have a handful of actual battling applications.

Mana: Stingray! Has Remoraid under its wing! Yay... more Water-types...! Woo?

Kate: "let's create something with stats that make it look like a special sponge. don't forget to give it 4x weakness to electric though."

Sanity: Funny happy elephant. I like how its Pokedex entries talk about how fun natured it is, but it's so strong that it hurts you accidentally in the process.

Starfox: I wish Gamefreak would try to make things cute by designing them like Phanpy… because it’s actually cute, unlike most of the overly designed crap I can’t stand. It evolves into a badass too, which helps.

Goa: One of the rare cases I like both forms of a line equally. Phanpy is just adorable, while Donphan is just a boss of equal magnitude.

Logicblade: D'aww look at this little elephant, wants to be a badass someday, but he's already better than Daddy Donphan.

Gen: Once I thought I found a shiny Phanpy. It turned out the coloration on my screen was only different because my batteries were low and I had to turn off the external light. I assure you my disappointment that day had no bearing on my ranking.

Stifled: Cute little elephant thingy.

Magmortar: Just the most adorable thing. It and Donphan may as well be in different evolution lines, though.

CasanovaZelos: Another Pokemon that gets by from being cute. Also evolves into something useful, so nice to carry around.

Natwaf: NFE Trash that I can't tell the difference between Shiny or not. It's oh so cute eyes though.

Cybat: Baby elephants are cute.

Paratroopa: 10 minutes later and I can't think of anything to say about this tiny ass elephant

KBM: And this is literally just a small elephant. Which should be cuter than it ends up being, because baby elephants are adorable.

Brayze: I came back at the end to say something about phanpy and realized there is basically nothing to say anymore. Phanpy our marriage is a sham

Preston: It pissed me off that Ash had to release Charizard, Squirtle and Bulbasaur to make up room for PHANPY of all Pokémon in his party during the Master Quest saga. And he STILL didn't even evolve Totodile? Goodness gracious. >_>

Anagram: Cute elephant. Who cares?

Magmortar: Yeah, really. I dunno, I could never really explain my love for Magcargo. It looks kind of dopey, but I like dopey Pokemon. It tends to have pretty good 3D models. It could have a better typing. A lot better of a typing. But so could a lot of Pokemon, and many of those would kill to have Magcargo’s support movepool. I still train them, even sending an egg over to use one in Soulsilver in-game, and they are very handy for egg hatching. That sums it up.

Sanity: Although slugs are cooler than snails IRL, Magcargo's design is better than Slugma's. That rocky shell with fire busting out of it is badass.

Paratroopa: magcargo is amazing I can't believe how long some of you ranked magcargo. I mean, 96? seriously?

Stifled: This is a Pokemon that I probably wouldn’t have given two craps about except it served a purpose for me. I was doing a breeding project and I wanted to hatch eggs quickly. But alas! I didn’t have a Flame Body Pokemon handy. But low and behold as I searched through my boxes, there Magcargo was to answer the call. I have loved this Pokemon ever since.

KBM: He looks as if he possesses the wisdom of the world. That and his rock shell is superheated to the point of being aflame, which as a fan of Fire types I like a LOT. Even if he is based on a disgusting real-life creature, he's pretty much awesome.

Brayze: I have one and his name is mr hopeless, he’s about as useful in battle as you might expect, he has never accomplished anything

Natwaf: Good lord this thing is awful in combat. Used it in X Mono-Fire, and eugh. A damn godsend for breeders though, once it obtained off-combat Flame Body and Magma Armor

Natwaf’s Nicknames: Slugma-Magcargo

Male: KeongLahar

Female: Tsunade

Raka: It's hot haha get it? It's because Magcargo is a fire type Pokemon and both his design and Pokedex entry say that it's hot, as in, its temperature is high.

Suor: People easily forget how a magma slug with a solidified lava shell is an awesome and clever design for a pokémon. If only Magcargo wasn't like, the most useless Fire-type ever.

Flubbin: I like this line a lot, leave me alone.

Gen: I like that it looks like its face is melting off. It's hard to believe it's the only Fire/Rock type out there. WTF Torkoal? W. T. F.?

CasanovaZelos: A snail that is hotter than the surface of the sun. What's not to love?

Comm: Balls hanging off its chin. Literally balls.

Cybat: It's a shame his types are so bad because Fire/Rock could be used for a lot of cool designs. His name is weird, too.

Anagram: I should hate this thing because it’s so ugly, but it’s also just so damn derpy that, fair or not, I have to give it a pass.

Preston:</3 </3 </3 Magcargo </3 </3 </3

Arti: Slugma's evolution is just as forgettable as Slugma itself.

CasanovaZelos: The one post-Gen I mascot that managed to outdo Pikachu in cuteness.

Anagram: Enter Mt. Moon, go three steps up, face right, and press A. Pikablu will appear and you can catch it.

Suor: Pikablu was a fitting name, this is just as marketable as Pikachu. It's incredibly cute and bubbly, I wish it hadn't lost all its relevance by now.

Gen: I believe in Pikablu!

Ecks: I'll always think of it as Pikablu. So much nostalgia connected with this guy before the second gen was released.

KBM: Remember when we all thought this was the secret 152nd Pokémon of the first generation and that it was called Pikablu? Good times, good times, those were the days. *puffs on cigar*

Paratroopa: remember when pikablu was a thing? well they were basically right I guess

Natwaf: WHO'S THAT POKEMON? IT'S PIKABLU! Trash if it doesn't get Huge Power though.

Stifled: Pikablu! I finally caught you!

Raka: Not much to say. Like a failed Pikachu lol so sad.

Brayze: Hamsters actually inflate like this if you put them in water, they totally hate it!

Cybat: Ahh, Pikablu. Early Pokemon was such a fun time. But it did not live up to the hype at all. At least it's a Fairy now.

Magmortar: Just garbage. Evolves into something that’s not bad, and evolves from something that may not even be the same gender (although apparently XY fixed this), so it’s got that going for it.

Starfox: I don’t necessarily hate it because it’s a Pikaclone, because there are far worse offenders of that… I just hate it because it’s boring and obnoxious.

Mana: Pikablu! Cute, but a boring water type that I don't understand the existence of. It's a water mouse, right? The tail just throws me. I do like the recent Fairy typing, but I know it and remember it as a pure-Water and it's so tough to like them when there is such a glut of them. I also tend to completely forget it when I'm trying to name all 100 GSC Pokemon.

Preston: I don't really like Marill very much. I don't get why Ermine or Anagram would like Marill. Marill was borderline useless in Super Smash Bros. Melee and the design of Marill is that of a mouse. It's a mouse...I mean come on people. What's so good about a walking lab rat? Tracy had one in the anime but like it's counterpart in Super Smash Bros. Melee? Marill was useless so screw you Marill.

Wickle: 1) Oh Pikachu's successful, let's make another mouse. THIS is the first offender of the Pikachu over hype. And 2) Tracy ensured I could never like this Poke.

Goa: Easily in the top 5 overrated cute Pokemon of all time. Also, if its tail floats, how can it learn dive in gens where its an HM?

Gen: You knew it was coming. Behold, my highest-ranked Gen II middie, and *gasp* it's not in a starter family! So yeah Mareep's family is not available in Crystal so months after I became sufficiently engrossed in the world of pokémon I purchased Silver on the cheap and with the help of my friend blah blah complete pokédex blah. I like the entire line, but the cotton candy fluffy pink poodle sheep is far and away my favorite. Why? I honestly cannot say. Believe it or not I hate the color pink, and I hate ultra girly stuff. But Flaaffy is too sweet to hate.

Paratroopa: oh no mareep you molted and got an awful sunburn what happened

Raka: Good mid-evo and its name is just fun to say. Say it ten times fast in public.

Preston: Sheep In The Big City

Wickle: baaaaa.

Kate: one of the few lines where the mid evo actually IS the best

Anagram: Looks nothing like its evo or preevo other than that it is indeed a sheep.

Stifled: This thing looks really prissy. The progression of this line is really strange. Cute sheep turns into prissy snob sheep, which turns into giraffe necked Super Saiyan yellow sheep. What the hell?

Natwaf: The worst of the electric sheep line. NFE trash that, while still cute, doesn't look as nice as the others.
Goa: At least its a cuter sheep... thing, and less generic.

Magmortar: Worst of this line by far but still okay I guess.

Brayze: The pinkest and stupidest member of the mareep line, I always thought he was like a mareep that was super chafed from all the nearby farmers

CasanovaZelos: One of the most forgettable middle stages, and I really hate that name. Even then, it helps make the Mareep line one of the funnest to bring along during Gold and Silver.

Cybat: I don't like that it changes color or that it has an extra A in its name. But it's still an above-average middle form overall.

KBM: Still just a sheep. This time it's shorn in places. Blade Runner's a good movie though.

Starfox: Ugh, why did they have to shave it? It’s exactly the opposite of cute.

Ermine: A painting dog. What's not to like. I love his simple yet adorable design and it was always a pleasure using one on competitive teams. Smeargle is one of the few of my top favs that I was able to find a slot for on my tryhard teams because of what he can do. Love the little guy :)

Goa: Ah, the unfortunate tale of the struggling artist. Little did anyone suspect they really have the ability to become anything they want, or at least learn any move they want.

Sanity: I remember catching my first Smeargle, and after realizing what he did, I had this dream to make him learn that move that makes your next move always hit (Lock-On?) and then some moves that always kill with one hit (Horn Drill?). I never got around to it, but I thought it would have been really cool. He's a very unique Pokemon though.

Starfox: I loved using Smeargle in my competitive teams. I mean, it was usually pretty difficult to pull off (especially in my opponent was more than mildly competent), but he allowed me to turn one of my Pokes into an absolute beast. Allowing Typhosion’s eruption to tear through a Pokemon with a 4x resistance will always get you props from me. Ignoring that, his gimmick is just cool as hell. So there.

Gen: Smeargle and Sketch are just great. I mean just look at its Trivia section in Bulbapedia if you need proof! You know despite the fact that I was aware that I was able to transfer almost any move to almost any other pokémon through Smeargle, I've never been a heavy chain-breeder so I've only utilized this system like twice. Still props for just being able to do it. Arti: It's a pretty fun Pokemon to experiment with. Most of the time hard to find, though.

Natwaf: If you think Smeargle is unpredictable then ROFLMAO. You know what's coming when you see one. That said, I had an event one in White that's VERY useful in catching stuff.

Natwaf’s Nicknames: Male: Picasso Female: Artemisia, FridaKahlo

Cybat: I do not understand how being a painter correlates with being able to learn any move. I just don't. But it is fun to come up with creative move combinations, and of course it makes breeding a lot easier.

Anagram: The asterisk on every moveset unique to a specific pokemon. The funny part is that Smeargle never uses any of those exotic movesets, because it’s always too busy with spore, baton pass, and two buffs.

Magmortar: The gimmick behind it is great and one of my personal favorites. It can’t do ANY sort of damage for the life of it though really, which hurts it a bit for me.

Raka: Its gimmick is great fun, but it's kinda useless…? :/

Paratroopa: he is king dope of dopeytown and I don't mean dope like in the cool sense like yo that is dope I just mean he is dopey and he has a beret

CasanovaZelos: Awesome idea, too bad using it in game properly is such a bother.

Stifled: It’s a good idea for a gimmick, but I’d rather just use a good Pokemon than go to the trouble of getting this guy a decent moveset with Sketch.

KBM: Just... kind of weird, honestly. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate weirdness, but I don't even really know what to say here.

Wickle: I will eventually catch a female of these, name it Relm, and it'll suddenly burst up my list.

Preston: Smeargle is the Nick Stanbury of Pokémon. I barely remember anything of Smeargle and I think it's gimmick what that it could use it's tail to paint pictures or something? It also doesn't even evolve. Bleh. By the way? If Nick Stanbury walked across the front yard of my sidewalk right now? I would not care. I would not care.

Suor: It has a cool gimmick. It also looks like a stuck-up hipster painter, and it sticking out its tongue while thinking “I'm too cool to hang with the other dogs” makes it worth punching in the face.

Brayze: I’ve always hated this thing and it getting dark void isn’t helping

Kate: f*** Spore. f*** Ingrain. f*** BP teams

Eddv: I hate this thing so much. Competitive pokemon has conditioned me to hate this thing with a fiery passion. Also he looks stupid.

Eddv: Hitmontop is such a goofy bastard and I love him.

Ermine: Really cool and fun design. Great poke, suck it gen. ;)

Starfox: I actually love its design, which is a huge improvement over Lee and Chan, both of whom I found rather unappealing. Still wish it wasn’t so hard to evolve though.

Natwaf: A true Capoeira master, this thing is annoying to face in non-Singles thanks to Intimidate. But good god that's a horrible evolution method.

Natwaf’s Nicknames: Tyrogue-Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee/Hitmontop Tyrogue: Kenichi Hitmonchan: JackieChan Hitmonlee: Bruce Lee Hitmontop: ChuckNoris, Chuck Norris

CasanovaZelos: The best design of the Hitmons.

Preston: For the most part? I always liked Fighting types and Hitmontop is no exception. Gotta love spinning tops.

Stifled: Did we need a third Hitmon? No. Is it cool anyway? Sure.

Raka: I've always wanted one, but it's a pain in the ass to evolve.

Cybat: I'm a little sad it wasn't named after a martial artist like its brothers. But it looks the most like a Pokemon as opposed to a guy in a costume of the three of them.

MSG: Yeah, he's still the weak link of the Hitmon family, but nothing can take his amazing Stadium 2 mini-game away from him!

Flubbin: They get points for creativity, I guess. I like Hitmontop, but he’s certainly not as good at the other Hitmons.

Anagram: Massively inferior to the other Hitmons. If you have a hand fighting a foot fighting pokemon, the next logical step is, I don’t know, a headbutting pokemon or something. Instead we get a dreidel. Wickle: Triple kick and true to its name, but also weird.

Brayze: The stupidest hitmon, and hitmonchan wasn’t winning any spelling bees

Magmortar: I could never actually get one by evolving a Tyrogue, and I don’t like its design, the face especially (I swear 75% of this gen has terrible faces). But when it is battle time it’s one of the most unique Pokemon in the entire series that isn’t a gimmick. Rapin Spin fighter with neat defenses (albeit bad HP) and more than enough tools to get some offense going is neat.

Suor: Its sprites and artwork always have it upside-down, standing on its head spike, spinning and looking cool. Some douche later decided it would be a good idea to make pictures of it standing on its feet, looking like a dwarf moron and killing every ounce of appeal it had. Please reconsider.

Mana: Hitmonlee is Bruce. Hitmonchan is Jackie. Way to ruin tradition! It's a cool Pokemon though that I never tried to get because equal Attack & Defense sounds like some insane breeding.

KBM: As good as Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are... Hitmontop is just stupid.

Ecks: I just now realized it has a tail. That helmet hair though.

Paratroopa: no thanks I was never really into beyblade

Gen: I have an insanely long rant about Hitmontop that I cannot limit to one writeup. It knows what it did...

Hitmontop is just one of those pokemon where the more I think about it the less I like it. To further explain why I present to you the story of its origin from the perspective of YOUm the average pocket monster designer.

Okay so you've got two Hitmon pokemon: one that specializes in kicking and one that specializes in punching. And since you're some kind of moron you've just invented a hideous baby pokemon that connects the two and can turn into either. So what's next? Well let's make a third evolution. There's no shortage of ideas you can follow through on, but logic dictates the next step would be either a pokemon that is equally adept at both kicking and punching, or one that has a totally unique method of attacking that involves neither. To that end, you're Japanese so immediately you're thinking sumo or judo which involve throwing one's own weight around and using the opponent's weight against them respectively. But will this translate well with western audiences? Probably not. Best save those ideas for later (Hariyama, Throh).

Okay well back to square one. Something that uses both kicks and punches with equal skill. Gosh, what kind of fighters do this nowadays? Oh, uh-doi, kickboxers! MMA fighters also do this, but this is the year 2000 and that sport is still growing in popularity. Still there is one MMA specialist that's pretty dang popular both here and overseas- THAT'S IT! HITMONORIS! IT WAS ALL SO EASY! Welp, that's a wrap. Book it. You're just finished sketching out what's sure to be a winning design.

And that's when your mentally lacking eleven year old niece walks in. "Durr..." she says, dribble running down her chin and onto her new toy which you purchased from the pharmacy one block over so she'd leave you alone long enough to finish your desk work for the night. Placing her cheap slobbery dreidel right on said desk, she spins it, flinging spittle all over your drawing of Hitmonoris. "Uncle Toshiro you should make THIS into a pokemon ~hob gobble derp!"

"Oh but sweetie," you begin to protest. However your misgivings fall on deaf and dumb ears. "MAEK DIS POGEYMAN NAO!" she cries. Is it too late to abort? Sadly yes. So you do the damn design of a spinning pokemon that has nothing to do with fighting so you draw some legs on it, and a tail that looks like a leg and now it kicks. It spins and kicks. Doesn't that make it more of a breakdancer? I mean no one in their right mind would take such an absurd fighting stance and expect to do anything but utterly embarrass himself but the deed is done and it's too late to redraw a non-drool covered version of your first pick.

Sweating bullets, you turn this design of this... Hitmontop in to your supervisor of design. He stares at it critically. "Huuuuuuuuuurk, I love it!!" says he, eyes drifting apart from one another in a blank unseeing gaze. Oh, thank Buddha. Right you forgot this one was dropped on his head as an infant. Satoshi-san only gave him the job because his mother was a friend of the family.

So in a nutshell Hitmontop is the epitome of wasted potential, is related to his family in name only, is dumb and ugly (imo), and doesn't have a unique method of attack to set him apart. Sorry but kicking while spinning! is still kicking, and there's almost dozen ideas I'd rather have seen implemented before something that stupid. In fact I'll list them. Things I'd rather have seen in a Hitmon before Brazilian dance-fighting: MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, judo, karate, jiujitsu, tae kwando, hapkido, bojitsu (yes though it violates the Hitmon tradition of hand-to-hand combat, an ACTUAL stick-user would have been neat), sumo... that's it. I forget when Ong Bak came out, but a Hitmonjaa would have been the s***. Tell me it wouldn't have! You are a liar. It's like... you mean to tell me not ONE famous martial artist could have lent his name to a pokemon? I ain't buyin' it! Hitmonsuck es dum the end bye.

Gen: My favorite of the pokémon Ash has traveled with but never officially owned, and also his one chance at having a pseudo-Legendary for a looong while. Man Ash is an idiot. That Larvitar clearly needed a good home and graaah. Anyway Larvitar is both super-cute and a total badass without even trying, the end.

Ermine: I have always loved Larvitar and the anime also helped to make that stronger. They literally go into his dreams, that's awesome.

Logicblade: Just the baby form of my boy T-Tar. Trying too hard to be cool, but I'll give it some props.

Anagram: One of two pseudo-legendaries who aren’t dragons, and it’s still pulling a Charizard.

Eddv: He's a tough little guy.

CasanovaZelos: Hard to believe something this cute evolves into Tyranitar.

Preston: I remember Ash had a Larvitar in his party during the end of the Master Quest saga and didn't Larvitar cry every episode? Yeah that was pretty annoying.

MSG: Motherf****r eats mountains in his free time. 'Nuff said.

Brayze: Gene simmons lizard with a pineapple up its ass

Natwaf: NFE Trash that will kill you once it grows up. From the profile, I don't like how it looks, but from the front it looks good.

Cybat: 2' tall and weighs 160 pounds. Other than that, not much interesting about it.

Raka: It eats mountain?

Paratroopa: what is this thing? is he a tiny dinosaur? why does he turn into an angry cocoon? so many questions

KBM: Spoilers: This isn't the biggest leap between members of the same evolutionary line on my list. But it's close.

Goa: I'm pretty sure the other Pokemon in Mount Silver would have attempted genocide on these things if they had any idea what they would become.

Magmortar: Yeah, Larvitar is kind of really bad. Not even Guts can save this thing. It doesn’t stay bad, however.

Stifled: It’s a turd. Why is there a turd Pokemon? Get your bowel movements out of my game.

Suor: Emo tears stopped being edgy a decade ago and look quite out of place when trying to become fat by eating a mountain.

CasanovaZelos: A perfect combination of cuteness and viability. The fairy typing added just the right amount of oomph to make it an easy favorite among Gen II.

Paratroopa: the forgotten hero of twitch plays pokemon http://i.imgur.com/XcomrQa.png

Brayze: Sometimes I see a girl this shape at the bus stop I think she has bad, bad diabetes, azumarill got diabetes so bad he became fairy type

Natwaf: BELLY DRUM AQUA JET TO THE FACE! Water/Fairy and Huge Power is a great combo, since we're still lacking in physical Fairy moves, and choices for great users of Play Rough is limited. It still manages to look cute too

Eddv: Wonder Egg! Suor: This is the Cinderella story of possibly the only Water pokémon worse than Feraligatr back in GSC becoming actually viable competitively. Stealth lolferaligatr remark.

Raka: I heard it's pretty good competitively or something? Gen 2 is so 'good' I put a Pokemon in Top 30 based on hearsay. Also, Moe.

Gen: Looking at it... it's pretty much Wigglytuff Redux. And yet I like it two hells of a lot more. Why? Is it the bubble-themed motif? Perhaps it's the versatility of its moveset? Or is it simply the fact that it's not related to a pokémon I hate the guts of? Let's go with all of the above. Unlike Wiggly, it also doesn't simply look like a stretched out, bloated less appealing version of its former glory.

Cybat: Getting the Fairy type helped a lot, and along with Huge Power made this guy one of the scarier Pokemon to face. But I still can't take it seriously.

Magmortar: Rabbit smash puny dragons after being one of Gen 2’s most forgettable Pokemon. Thing’s come a long way. It’s pretty good in battling but I don’t care a lot for Azumarill.

Stifled: Evolved Pikablu!

KBM: I guess it's pretty good. Kind of an anticlimactic FE.

Goa: I guess its a fairy now, but meh. Mana: Probably the one I had the most difficulty ranking. It's been Top 50 and Bottom 10. I respect it a lot more than I do Marill and Azurill, but it's still not a favorite.

Anagram: Of all the random pokemon to become good because it lucked into having a fantastic ability, it had to be Azumarill. It’s ugly as hell and ruins Marill, but I hope you like seeing it everywhere because of its huge power. Ugh, this thing. Marill is the only pikaclone with an evolution, and given how much worse than their preevos Raichu and Azumarill are, it’s not hard to see why. Although it is hard to see why we didn’t get Marill’s baby form until much later.

Preston: This is coming from a guy that adores Water types but Azumarill does nothing for me.

Starfox: I hate this line so much. And Azumarill isn’t obnoxiously cute, they simply tried so hard to make it cute that it wound up kind of ugly

Wickle: I will never remember which marill is the prevo vs the evo.

Wickle: OCTILLERY CANNON FIRE! This name is just too good.

Magmortar: Octopus fires everything, and I mean everything, at things. Seeds, ice, electricity, even fire. Some people don’t like it not outrunning people, but you know what? Baton Pass it some speed. Problem solved. It’s not like they’ll get rid of it.

Eddv: I liked that it resembled the Zelda enemy and its varied moveset.

Cybat: Clever concept; the name works really well. It's a shame it's so slow, but its movepool is great. Plus, Moody is hilarious.

Starfox: I’m only writing this because I feel rather stupid for only just now getting the pun

Goa: Not the worse thing they could do with an octopus, and it has a decent unique move. I even used one to beat the Elite 4 in Pearl once.

Stifled: I like different types of Pokemon. An octopus hadn’t been done yet so I was happy to see it.

KBM: I'm not sure why Remoraid turns into this, really, but it's honestly pretty cool so I'm willing to forgive the utter lack of sense that this makes. There are cooler Water types, to be sure, but this at least improves tremendously on a lazy design. Even if it is just going from “just a fish” to “just a brightly-colored octopus.”

Paratroopa: WHY DOES AN OCTOPUS EVOLVE FROM A FISH

Gen: Probably my favorite pokémon name just for the brilliant creativity behind it. Also Octazooka is ridiculous and great. Sadly I never raised one but hey that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it for what it is. I will never understand why it's not a one-off pokémon or why it evolves from Remoraid of all things. I honestly think GameFreak just wanted to justify the existence of the little fish clinging onto Mantine and thus needed it to become its own pokémon like Shellder, only... Shellder/Cloyster actually made sense as a standalone line.

Brayze: Hay fever octopus fires inky wads at opponents, horrifies onlookers

Raka: I like how its moveset is based on its design/lore. But why does it literally look like a normal octopus?

Natwaf: UNLEASH THE MEDIOCRE KRAKEN! Bonus points for Troll Volkner using it in his ELECTRIC gym in Diamond/Pearl. Laughed my ass off when that happened.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Remoraid- Octillery
Male: DaveyJones
Female: The Kraken

Preston: Meh. At least Octillery knows some moves that are actually named after it like Octazooka. How many Pokémon out there do you know are honored like that?

Anagram: A lot of people complain that it looks nothing like Remoraid, but I get the joke. My problem with Octillery is that it’s just ugly and dumb. There’s a lot you can do with an octopus, but this is just like some dumb cartoon. You can say that about a lot of pokemon, I suppose, but Octillery really strikes me as just the absolute worst.

CasanovaZelos: Why does this evolve from Remoraid? That alone makes it memorable.

Drak: so ugly. also, this is kinda unfair to the pokemon, but joyrock has an octillery alt and I have therefore come to associate octillery with terrible posts

Goa: Troll in chief of the Pokemon world, at your service.

Sanity: He's the best troll Pokemon in the Smash games. I love his facial expression too.

Eddv: Troolllll.

Ecks: If it wasn't for the anime, I wouldn't have much of an opinion on this guy. He's got a funny gimmick though, and he's pretty unique in the games.

Natwaf: I love it's face, I love it's anime cry, I love the concept. Lol eternal Wobbuffet VS Wobbuffet. The tail is totally it's real body, and the blue thing is a distraction. Too bad I suck at predicting though, couldn't use it to it's full potential.

Raka: Natwaf should know that it says 'Keeenapa?' in the Indonesian dub of the Genesect movie. It's just too funny.

MSG: The entire idea behind Wobbuffet is really quite fascinating. Nothing like this had ever been done before, or since. I never ended up using one myself, and any time I ran into one in the games, they were pretty damn stupid, but it's still quite unique and incredibly powerful in the right hands.

Suor: WOOOOOOOOBBBUFFEEETTT!!!

CasanovaZelos: A hilarious design mixed with a unique combat style.

Wickle: XD. Shame they took away that face in Gen 6.

KBM: Wobbuffet is kind of hilarious, honestly... but I like so many other Pokémon in this generation for real reasons.

Gen: I'm torn. On the one hand I love Wobbuffet's concept and how it relates to its very unique battle style. On the other I hate Team Rocket's. On the first hand female Wobbuffet wear lipstick now. That is hilarious. Back on the second its anime gimmick was done to death, and then resurrected only to be re-killed! On both hands, Shadow Tag. My opinion on this thing is as unstable as the pokémon itself, but overall... I suppose I like it.

Stifled: In-game, I despise this thing. The anime Wobbuffet is great though.

Cybat: Possibly the best troll in the game. The concept is so mean and executed so perfectly. But seriously what is up with its female form

Magmortar: In terms of battling potential, it went from what might be the worst Pokemon in the entire series (including NFEs) to instant Uber in-between generations. Not bad. Really, as long as you had at least two Pokemon, Wobbuffet had no way of doing ANYTHING to you until it was Struggling time back in GSC. That’s…wow. Anyway it’s a fun punching bag, and now a very deadly one. You don’t battle Wobbuffets very often but when you do, pray.

Anagram: Any feelings I might have had for Wobbuffet are completely eclipsed by the anime. Holy ****, popping out of its pokeball ceased being a joke. I don’t mean that it wasn’t funny, I mean that Team Rocket scenes basically consisted of like Jessie and James discussing whatever, and agreeing on a plan, then Wobbuffet ends the scene by appearing and saying its name. It’s literally not an actual joke.

Poke: WOOOOB!

Paratroopa: jessie got rid of her wobbuffet? what the hell, he was like, the deepest and most insightful character on the show, now who will dispense useful wisdom and teach the kids good morals

Karo: Stupid annoying pokemon with a stupid annoying gimmick.

Brayze: I used to have this toy called the punching bag bunch and it was like a monster that came with one of those weighted inflatable punching bags, and it’s so obscure that I can’t even find it on google. Oh wobbuffet? Yeah it’s crap

Preston: I hate Wobbuffet. The "popping out of the Pokéball" running gag in the anime got tiresome and really old. Not to mention we already had Misty's Psyduck and James's Victreebel do that. We didn't need a third character in the same mold as them. WOBBUFFET lasted longer in Jessie and James's party than Arbok and Weezing did. Wow. Wobbuffet also sucks in Super Smash Bros. so screw you Wobbuffet.

OrangeCrush: Annoying in the anime + Shadow Tag = almost the worst

Magmortar: It’s cute. Really really cute. Not good but I don’t care! Ferrets are awesome.

OrangeCrush: A guilty favorite

Poke: DOINK DOINK DOINK! Ermine playing Pokemon Stadium 2 and having Furret on his team was awesome.

Suor: By far the best and coolest “generic beginner Normal type”, I love its sleek and sort of serpentine shape, and I love pokes with wide movepools (even when they're bad like this one).

Brayze: Tube weasel pokemon capable of not much except cleaning pipes

CasanovaZelos: A perfect design, especially in the 3D games.

Cybat: Cutest early Normal type, for what that's worth. But man is it useless.

Preston: Somewhat useful as Furret was a tank in Pokémon Colosseum but not necessarily that great. Mediocre at best

Raka: Mari Miwa/Patricia Roland had these, I think. Cute enough.

Gen: okay.jpg

Anagram: Who cares?

KBM: What happened to the cute, round body and the whole “balancing-on-the-tail” thing? Those were really the only things Sentret had going for it. Also “Furret” is a dumb name.

Natwaf: Probably the worst of the early non-bird catchable critters. What the hell is this thing? It's not cute or adorable, it's just freaky.

Stifled: Not only is it boring, but Linoone in Gen 3 is pretty much the same exact thing. So we get two copies of a garbage Pokemon.

Goa: I don't mind ferrets, but this one is again a bit too generic for its own good. At least Sentret was a little more original.

Gen: Quit misspelling it as Politoad you turds; it gets its name from its cute little toesies on its cute little feetses. Also it's a frog so there! Lookit its fat cheeks omg I wanna pinch 'em. How could anyone hate this guy? It bugs me so much when people say it's inferior to Wrath. I mean it's got a branched evolution specifically so you can use either or both so why pick on one just cuz it's different? Drizzle on all the haters, Froggy. (For the record, Gen, no one misspelled Politoed)

Drak: The superior Poliwhirl evolution.

Paratroopa: politoed is cheerful frog with very special swirly style for have happy life. MAKE RAIN IS TRUE
OrangeCrush: "Arceus for President!"

KBM: If I had a Poliwhirl I would actually be conflicted about what to turn it into, something that almost never happens outside of Eeveelutions in branching evolutionary lines. (That said, without a modded emulator I would end up just going with Poliwrath every time, because f*** having to trade things to evolve, much less with a specific item in hand.)

Eddv: I like rain teams and that's what I like about Politoed. Also that he's such a betrayal of the poli line.

CasanovaZelos: Apparently fell from OU to NU between Gen V and VI. Nerfs are a shame. Still a cool design, if awful to get in game. Trading evolutions were already bad enough, why add items?

Goa: I'm guessing this is the Poliwag line's designer feeling sorry for not making a proper frog in Gen I. Also, why is it raining?

Raka: lol how did Poliwhirl become this? Still, pretty fun-looking and underexposed, I'm curiou

Preston: Go to hell Gatarix for comparing me to Se7enthrust. I don't even know if I spelled his name right.

Brayze: look who thinks he's a bigshot now that he has drizzle

Stifled: So I have the choice between an angry fighting tadpole and this thing? Right…

MSG: Did the Poliwag line really need more? It was perfect the way it was!

Cybat: I don't understand why it looks completely different from the rest of its family. They sure did it a favor by giving it Drizzle though, because it is very unremarkable otherwise.

Flubbin: Pssh, Politoed ain’t got nothing on mah boi Poliwrath.

Suor: As a stand-alone pokémon, it would be ok. As a Poliwhirl evolution, it looks almost as out of place as Rhyperior. Giving it Drizzle was, after all, one of the worst possible mistakes along with anything related to Stealth Rocks.

Natwaf: I love Rain and rain teams. Politoed 's appearance makes me want to punch it though. But hey, Drizzle is something.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Poliwag-Poliwhirl-Poliwrath/Politoed
Male Poliwrath: Chuck
Female Poliwrath: Chuck Wife
Both genders Politoed: Rainmaker

Anagram: I have never liked Politoed. I don’t like its design, I don’t like its stomach, I don’t like its misspelled name, I don’t like how it evolves from Poliwhirl. I used to be merely neutral about it, but then it got Drizzle. **** this thing.

Mana: Goofy looking, completely different look from its predecessors, Held Item side evolution, and it never appealed to me in battle. It makes sense because pollywog -> frog, but from Poliwhirl? Poliwag, yes, Poliwhirl, no. Maybe if were on its own I'd appreciate it more, but it's still mono-Water.

Magmortar: BW metagame was a drizzling pile of shit for a lot of reasons, but Politoed might be the biggest one. The thing is nobody would remember it, EVER, if it were not for getting one stupididly OP ability. And now that it got nerfed, nobody cares about it once again. Why can’t the rest of this line be as awesome as Poliwrath.

Ermine: Really awesome design for a gimmick pokemon. It's too bad Present is pretty useless but nothing will take away my rental Delibird literally taking out Charizard and Dragonite vs Lance in Pokemon Stadium 2. Suck it Charizard. Penguins are awesome.

Poke: The King, the Legend. Ermy's Delibird is canonically the strongest force. Takes on all of Lance's pokemon like a true champion. Long live the King!

Anagram: – I used to have Delibird even higher than this, but then I heard its voice in the anime. It’s just… hideous. Sounds can’t normally be hideous, you might say, but if you do, you haven’t heard it speak.

Preston: <3 This Pokémon <3
<3 Christmas <3
<3 Santa Claus <3
<3 Delibird <3

Paratroopa: f*** you brayze delibird is hilarious and rad and I'll like him if I want to, YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY REAL DAD

Magmortar: To me, it’s basically this generation’s Farfetch’d. It’s awesome, and it’s terrible, but more importantly it’s awesome. Although unlike Farfetch’d, it somehow finding a free turn can sometimes go pretty horribly. A friend and I once came to the conclusion that Glalie, not Delibird, is the most useless Ice-type (although Glalie’s mega probably renders this moot now).

Wickle: SANTA!!!

Flubbin: Delibird used to be my favorite Pokemon for some reason. It’s definitely fallen off quite a bit since then, but I still am really fond of it.

Stifled: Would you really open a present from a stranger? What if it’s a bomb? What if it’s a box of AIDS? What if it’s candy, but the kind with hallucinations?

KBM: He's so happy! And look, he's waving at me! Hi, Delibird! :D

Natwaf: Poor Santa. Forever a joke. Speaking of jokes, it gets 2 abilities that prevents sleep. Poor overworked Santa, I can't help but pity it and kick it far higher than it should be. And that's it's tail, not a sack.

Raka: Literally Christian propaganda tho

Gen: Hello Ermine. Present is a neat signature move but I've never felt strongly about this thing despite liking penguins and having been an avid fan of santa in my childhood. I think it might have something to do with its sack being attached to its ass. That's creepy. Still he's a better mascot for X-mas than Luvdisc is for V-Day. Where the heck is my turkey pokémon for T-giving at!?

Goa: He's kind of a fun concept Pokemon, but he's so useless even that can't save him ranking very much.

CasanovaZelos: It's really sad this managed to do better than over 10 other Pokemon.

Cybat: Not gonna lie, Game Freak trolling us with its abilities is pretty hilarious. But not in a way that helps its ranking.

Brayze: And the award for the #1 most strained pun in all of pokemon goes to

Wizard: I hate penguins.

Eddv: I love pokemon designs that are just out to troll you and Sudowoodo is probably still the best example of this. Also the dopey expression on its face like it BELIEVES it's a tree. Priceless.

Brayze: ‘oh no I think he’s on to me, better do a dance’

Stifled: It’s a tree that wants to beat you up! That’s hysterical! Snorlax might be the original roadblock, but I like this guy a lot as well.

Magmortar: Most Rock types hate Water-types. A lot. Even when they look like trees. BUT SUDOWOODO IS NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS. Wood Hammer aw yeaaaaah (even though that kind of gets rid of the point. It’s a ROCK tree, why does it get a move a regular tree would get?!).

Natwaf: I see it's face and appearance and I can't help but smile. True story: I was frustrated looking for the Trevenant horde containing Sudowoodo for an hour or two. Then I found it, and I can't help but laugh at seeing it. You ain't fooling me fella. Oh, and it can use Explosion for some reason. Watch out. And it's Sturdy too.

Preston: I like Sudowoodo. The least I can say here is this. IF YOU HATE SUDOWOODO THEN I WISHED YOUR COMPUTER DIED FROM A TROJAN VIRUS AND YOU DIED BY THE WRATH OF THE TALIBANS!!!!

Cybat: Oh man, I love the concept for this one. The name is great if a little clunky, and the design is perfect. A shame it's not very good.

Suor: I own a Water pokémon but for some reason I need a Squirtbottle to get this thing out of my path. Pokémon logic.

CasanovaZelos: I love Pokemon found on the overworld map. Cool idea for a Pokemon, while not relying on its gimmick for everything.

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

Starfox: I feel like this was only created to troll unsuspecting children into using fire types against it. It worked, though. Brilliant name though.

Wickle: Better troll than Snorlax.

Anagram: Waaaay back in the day, I imported a Japanese version of Gold well before GS came out in America. When I got to a Sudowoodo and used fire, and it didn’t work, I thought, “Wow, this thing’s SpDef must be through the roof!” So I caught it and was sorely disappointed. I did the exact same thing with Shuckle, thinking it was a water-type.

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

Goa: Bonsai!!!!!

Paratroopa: oh so it's PSEUDO wood like he's a fake tree got it

Raka: So annoying and lame and what kind of sense-deprived person could mistake this for a tree?

Mana: It's definitely unique, I'll give it that. But it's more obstacle than Pokemon. Snorlax is great in battle and feels like a real situation a trainer would be stuck with. Sudowoodo... it's a rock that look like a tree and is afraid of water. There's nothing really good to say about it.

Gen: If things have gone well then by now it should be quite apparent that I have a distaste for the Chikorita line, and if not then Bayleef was the first to show up, I have spoiled my list mildly, and you guys suck. Bayleef is my favorite of the line because it's the only member that doesn't get on my nerves. Its anime voice is beyond adorable- even though I hate Ash's Bayleef with a passion even I have to admit it SOUNDS cute- and it looks more appealing than the pear with legs or it's god awful derpy Tropius wannabe final form. I mean yeah its line is gonna be my obvious last choice in any Gen II playthrough but Bayleef ALMOST redeems it.

Anagram: I used to hate Bayleef, but the anime redeemed it for me. It was one of Ash’s best and most memorable pokemon.

Goa: Exactly what an intermediate grass starter should be.

Starfox: Bayleef is the only thing saving the Chikorita line… it’d be the worst starter line by a large margin without it.

Magmortar: It has just the right mix of Chikorita’s cuteness and Meganium’s dumbness. Bayleef might be the only time my favorite form of a starter is the middle one.

KBM: Typical middie problems – nowhere near as cute as Chikorita, and Meganium is the finale to the line that you remember. There is something about the design I like, though.

Eddv: My highest ranked starter line. I like it design. That's all.

Stifled: It’s goofy looking but I kinda like it. Plus Bayleef had some good anime episodes.

CasanovaZelos: Both a middle line Pokemon and belonging to one of the worst overall starters, Bayleef doesn't do much to stand out.

Raka: Uhm, man, it's just so forgettable and bad.

Cybat: I actually like the leaves on this design better than Meganium's, but its color is uglier and, well, no one cares about middle forms.

Preston: What if like on Survivor? You vote someone off and they have to vote a second person off immediately afterwards? Am I like the only person that thinks ahead of things like that? IS EVERYONE BESIDES ME CRAZY?

Paratroopa: I bayleef chikorita and meganium are better pokemon than you hahahahaha haahahahaahahahha hehawejhawjjklm4f

Brayze: He’s a bulbasaur that you buy from one of the cheap kiosks in Chinatown, distorted, smelling of weird herbs and loaded with cadmium

Natwaf: U-G-L-Y it ain't got no alibi

Arti: A terrible middle evo for a terrible starter line.

Preston: DUDE LOOK AT THIS COLOR. WOOPER IS NOT BORING. I LOVE WOOPER. FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT RANK WOOPER SO LOW? WHY I OUTGHA!!!! JUST WOW. ANYONE REMEMBER THAT GO HOME WOOPER VIDEO ON YOUTUBE? WOOPER IS AMAZING. WATER/GROUND FOR THE WIN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6jiPjVHeHg PLEASE LINK MY YOUTUBE VIDEO STARFOX2245!!!!!!

Sanity: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Comm: The cutest, dumbest little face ever.

Gen: Is it wrong of me if I briefly considered ranking Wooper over Typhlosion to get to starfox? I mean they were very near each other in ranking and it wouldn't have been much of a stretch. Ultimately I decided against it so I'm still a good girl right? :D

KBM: D'awwwwww!

MSG: Da Woop. Da Woop. Da Woop is on fire.

Brayze: Smaller and skinnier quagsire based on I guess an axolotl, no arms at all, wooper has real problems doing his taxes

Paratroopa: hey it's one of those axl... axlot... axlolo... axlotlt... it's one of those axl rose things. neat!

Poke: This writeup appears to have been lost in the mail. Whoops. Sorry about that, Poke! :D

Raka: Aw it's adorable. :3

Goa: The first water Pokemon to laugh at your face when you try to thunderbolt it. Many a second grader must have been horrified by this thing the first time.

Wickle: Woopah!

Stifled: Herpin and a derpin

Magmortar: I wonder how many people played GSC, wanted to get a Wooper as it was an Electric-beating Water-type, only to find it not all that great.

Natwaf: Really high NFE Trash. Seriously, that face does not give a ****

CasanovaZelos: Always found Wooper really cute. Nothing special outside of that.

Cybat: In case anyone else was curious about what "Wooper" means, "Wooper is derived from wooper looper, a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the axolotl"

Anagram: Gets points just for the anime episode where a girl runs a Wooper Daycare Center, and all of the Wooper keep screaming WOOPAH? WOOPAH? WOOPAH!

Arti: This thing looks almost as dumb as Natu.

Suor: A goomba derpfish that is also as ugly as ebola. I judge people who like this thing harshly as human beings.

Starfox: Oh god I hate this thing. Its face legitimately makes me a little mad every time I see it. Its eyes, the dumb gaping mouth, the TV antennae protruding from its head… it disgusts me. So much derp crammed into one intolerably annoying package. Plus the gauntlet crew used it to ruin my favorite emoticon.

OrangeCrush: My little starter can't be this cute!

Anagram: Like Bayleef, it was completely redeemed by the anime for me.

KBM: You know, for a grass starter (usually my least favorite of the three) this one is not bad. It's super cute and learning Razor Leaf right away means it has more immediate utility than Bulbasaur. I've always had a huge soft spot for this little guy.

Stifled: It’s a cute little thing, but not as cute as the other two starters. Also lol grass.

Cybat: It's cute but its body is kind of weird looking. But still better than its evolved forms.

Paratroopa: good ol' fruity pie, so stupid it rolls back into charming

Raka: Es un chico de Rita. Bastante bien.

CasanovaZelos: Really cute for a starter. It's a shame it evolves into those things.

Flubbin: I like Chikorita quite a bit, but it is clearly the worst choice as far as starters go.

Natwaf: The best of it's line. Look how adorable it is! The rare case where I support Ash not evolving his poke. Meganium sucking to high heaven and back might be part of the reason.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Chikorita-Bayleef-Meganium
Male: Xochipili
Female: Casey

Suor: This thing learns Razor Leaf at lvl. 8 and people who have never touched a Grass starter in their lives claim it's useless. Lol.

Brayze: God just look at it. I had to pick this thing as my starter when the game came out, named it fruity pie

Preston: Worst starter ever. Completely useless in the first two gyms. It doesn't look the least bit cute. And what the hell was up with Chikorita grinding against Ash's leg in the anime?

Ecks: Pretty easily the worst grass starter. I don't really understand what it is supposed to be. Still, my opinion of it has improved over time.

Goa: It's little jealousy thing in the anime was cute, but Bayleef gets the same benefit but is better designed.

Magmortar: It’s also awful, but at least it’s kind of cute. Meh, give me the mouse or the crocodile.

Gen: Did any guy really look forward to this starter the most? I'm legitimately curious.

Ermine: This pokemon sucks. The anime made it worse.

Suor: So far and above the rest of its line it's not even funny.

Preston: Oddish all grown up. I have a Bellossom plushie and I can stick it's fingers in it's funbags and I can twirl the little flowers on Bellossom's head. Would you like to see that Board 8?

Anagram: I have no explanation for why I like this thing. Maybe it’s because it’s so superior to Vileplume rather than anything good about it by itself.

Gen: Finally, an awesome Grass type! Why, oh why has like every Grass type up to this point been diluted with Poison? Like "OMG as if being a Grass type wasn't bad enough let's tack on weaknesses so people will have an incentive to use Tangela or pick Chikorita," said no one ever! Anyway she's an adorable lil' hula dancer and I love her more than I ever loved Oddish or Vileplume. Bell-AWESOME!

Raka: Beautiful flower. Ha, I made a joke (translation, really) about it Japanese name.

Wickle: The meme that didn't sink for me, Bell-AWESOME. *insert the dumb song from the Lego movie here*

Paratroopa: I dunno I actually think it's stupid but I like it anyway leave me ALONE okay sometimes I just want to like stupid pokemon in peace

CasanovaZelos: Such a perfect evolution compared to Vileplume. It really is a pretty design.

Goa: Hula dancers? Why the hell not.

Stifled: It’s surprisingly elegant and pretty for a grass type.

Flubbin: Pssh, Bellossom ain’t got nothing on mah gurl Vileplume.

Cybat: I'm not really sure why this exists…was anyone really clamoring for a Gloom split evolution? It barely even looks like it belongs in the same family.

Arti: Doing that GSC quiz on Sporcle I always seemed to forget Bellossom. It's weird.

Starfox: I’m still not sure how it’s possible that the ugly POS that is Gloom can evolve into this. I guess that’s the power of the sun.Too cutesy/bland for my taste regardless, but easily better than the rest of its line.

Magmortar: I guess it’s alright for Smash Bros., but otherwise, give me Vileplume every day. And Vileplume isn’t very good either. Just better than fucking Bellossom.

Natwaf: I love how it looks. I don't like how it’s really weak.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Oddish-Gloom-Vileplume/Bellossom
Male Vileplume: Thomas/Rafflesia
Female Vileplume: Erika/Rafflesia
Male Belossom: David
Female Belossom: Nani, Lilo

Mana: I should ike Bellossom, right? Vileplume sucks, so Bellossom! ...Yeah, no, don't get it but I don't. Great name though.

KBM: Uh... Do yourself and your Pokémon a favor and just evolve your Gloom into Vileplume. Please. Think of the children.

Brayze: Oddish just can’t catch a break, heard he got a new evolution in gen 2 and he was like ‘finally I can be something cool’ and then this is revealed and the next day you go to oddish’s house, find a goodbye note and a delicious smelling stew

Mana: Baby Transience with a giant cookie levels of cuteness.

KBM: Teddiursa is the cutest. Allow me to overrate the everloving hell out of it for literally no other reason.

Raka: Who's a good boy? YES YOU ARE. I just want to take it home and cuddle it all night.

Flubbin: At the time Gen II was released, Teddiursa was by far the cutest Pokemon of all. Plus he’s a f***ing bear and f*** yeah bears.

CasanovaZelos: So cute. Bears are my favorite animal, so that helps.

Poke: Bearer Rangers Jr.!!!

Stifled: I’ve given this thing flack in the past for lasting a long time in contests needlessly. But at the end of the day, it really is cute.

Starfox: Few Pokemon manage to escape my aversion to cuteness, but Teddirusa certainly manages it. It’s just so damn adorable. Being a bear probably helps it though..

Anagram: What’s with the crescent moon on its forehead? Whatever, it’s pretty okay.

Goa: Cute enough I suppose.

Ecks: Really cute. Almost too cute, actually, like it's trying too hard… but oh, look at that bushy tail. Dammit. Just went up about fifteen spots.

Magmortar: Not this generation’s cutest Pokemon, but certainly a contender.

Preston: Cute but dull.

Cybat: He is cute and I bet his hands taste delicious.

Natwaf: Adorable NFE Trash

Suor: Typical generic cute Normal type. It tries too hard to be cute for my tastes, but at least it looks better than comparable stuff in later generations.

Brayze: a teddybear with a moon on his chest; there was a carebear like this except he was blue I think and he was the sleepy carebear, comabear IIRC

Paratroopa: the sort of thing that everyone thinks is cute but I sort of just want to murder it horribly, like I don't feel strongly enough to go out of my way but I'd probably murder one if it was there, you know

Sanity: There are so many things that are amazing about Miltank. First of all, she's a cow, so basically instant #1. She has a cute happy cow face. She has a move called Milk Drink where she drinks her own milk which is kind of weird and hilarious to picture that happening. She also apparantly lets other Pokemon as well as humans suck on her udders, which is so weird to imagine in a kids game, considering that many Pokemon tend to have some humanoid characteristics (Miltank walks like a human and not a cow). She is rule 34 without needing any extra work. Like there are pictures out there of Miltank, not even with a vag, and I feel like I'd get modded just posting them. She's that Rule 34 ready. But yeah, I love cows a lot, and she's the perfect design for a cow Pokemon.

Eddv: Miltank holds a special place in my heart. Whitney's Miltank was the moment I realized what it meant to actually strategize in Pokemon and not just use 4 fire moves on charizard to win the game. I really appreciated that, caught a Miltank and it became the star of my gen 2 run. So thank you Whitney and Miltank for making Pokemon the game I love most instead of just some game.

Comm: Boss

Raka: I used one on Pokemon Y. Reasonably strong, bulky, and fast. Not to mention Milk Drink! Truly an outstanding Pokemon.

Karo: Cow goes moo.

Natwaf: POKEMON, ROLL OUT! The ever memorable Miltank. I got it thrice in Battle Factory, and everytime, it's the corner stone of the team. Bulky and faster than you think it is, but sadly lacking in attack. However, seeing udders and Moo-moo milk is… distracting, at times.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Miltank
Female only: Whitney

Stifled: Moo! Moo is a nickname I gave to my girlfriend and I think about her whenever I see Miltank. So yeah, guaranteed top 20 spot.

OrangeCrush: That cow in Goldenrod Gym is tough; especially her Miltank

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

CasanovaZelos: Whitney's Miltank is one of the greatest battles in Pokemon history. Never has a move as useless as Rollout been so intimidating.

Suor: Mini-Blissey who is much cooler to use than Blissey and can pack a punch, dat mean Curse/Body Slam combo.

Arti: ROLLOUT ROLLOUT ROLLOUT ROLLOUT ROLLOUT ROLLOUT

Paratroopa: miltank is 4 feet tall. yes, it is a tiny cow. it's great.

Cybat: Would be pretty forgettable if not for Whitney. But you have to respect the speed and power this thing can throw around.

Magmortar: Good cow. I like cows. Makes a pretty nice tank. I may be a bit biased here, as I’m one of maybe ten people who had no problems with Whitney. Ever.

Goa: About as cool as you can make a dairy cow.

Starfox: http://pokebot.everyboty.net/pix/976.jpg

Wickle: I think Rollout is one of my favorite moves to say out loud, and this was the Poke that made it famous. Damn cow.

Poke: 73 Miltank - F*** you, Whitney! Literally... I'd like to bend you over and spank your....oh I'm sorry, we're talking about the pokemon that she has that gives many players nightmares. It sucked....just like I wish her trainer did to my *gets shot*

Wizards: **** Rollout.

Anagram: I never really had any difficulty with Whitney’s Miltank, sorry. I mean, sure, maybe I lost once as a kid to her, but I lost to several people as a kid. She’s a little harder than the average gym leader, but not so much that it really requires comment.

KBM: F*** you, Whitney.

Brayze: The fact that it is tiny makes you forget that this pokemon is 50% udder by mass

Preston: Miltank reminds me of Carnie Wilson. Both are fat, disgusting cows.

Preston: I hope Darkx isn't suffering from pension. If Darkx is in debt, we should donate money to him. Yes yes. Smily face.

Stifled: I’m still confused as to how we get Ampharos out of this cute little sheep. But oh well.

Anagram: A sheep with a Dragonball for a tail and Cynthia’s berets for ears.

Cybat: A cute Electric type that's not a rodent? Blasphemy.

Brayze: Imagine a herd of these all stuck together, all the balloons in the world just flying towards them

Wickle: baaaaa.

Magmortar: Sheep is good and fluffy. Looks really derpy in its fifth gen sprite though.

Natwaf: Look at it's oh so adorable face.

CasanovaZelos: So fluffy!

Gen: Cute and cuddly if also safe and a tad boring. Still a solid start to a stellar line.

KBM: I mean... it's literally just a sheep. This seems really lazy to me. Also there's a Philip K. Dick reference to be made here, but I don't feel like I'm the one to make it.

Suor: I bet this thing shorn looks scarier than a naked Jynx.

Raka: It's just a sheep that walked into a paint store.

Goa: I don't suppose you can shear these with Rubber Scissors?

Logicblade: True facts, I absolutely adore spiders. With their 8 legs, and their cute little eyes, I just can't get enough of the little guys. Ariados is a pretty cool spider, it wasn't till gen 5 when they nailed the pinnacle of spiders that I was impressed by them. But yeah, Ariados is good stuff, frowny face on his bottom and a cute little horn. :3

Gen: There's something graceful and elegant about spiders that I've always admired. I don't like them touching me at all with their thin spindly too numerous legs but I enjoy watching them from afar. Ariados manages to capture everything I like about spiders and present it in a manner that barely even registers on the Creep-o-meter. Actually for a lethal arachnid that flashes its toxicity in bright pastels for the world to see it's kinda cute. Sadly it's not so lethal in battle, but Bugs are easy to raise so no regrets.

Brayze: I love all spider pokemon recently I saw a video of a girl who let a spider crawl out of her mouth that is the kind of girl I want to marry

Raka: Creepy, menacing, intimidating, blatantly venomous colors…great design. Drapion need no apply.

Preston: Same as what I said about Spinarak. Decent I guess.

Stifled: Cool looking spider. Serves no real purpose otherwise.

Paratroopa: okay guys, you can make a spider pokemon, but don't make it TOO cool, all right?

Wickle: The star of Janine's roster.

Cybat: Well, it's no Galvantula, but it's a pretty cool spider. Its colorfulness makes it oddly appealing.

Anagram: This was Gen 2’s “the main characters encounter angry wild pokemon” pokemon in the anime, like Beedrill before and Venipede after.

Natwaf: Looks neat, not that I'm using it or anything. When I see Koga using it, I breathed a sigh of relief since it posed no threat to my underleveled team.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Spinarak-Ariados
Male: Venom
Female: Veranke

CasanovaZelos: A cool design without being overstated.

Magmortar: It is just really, really bad. It has Megahorn now, so I guess it’s now definitely not instead of probably not the worst Bug/Poison type in competitive (at least until Megadrill arrives and I remember Dustox exists once in a while). The design is neat though, not just the color scheme this time.

KBM: I do not like bugs.

Comm: SWAGSIRE

Preston: DUDE LOOK AT THIS COLOR. I love Quagsire. B8's reputation will be tainted if Quagsire doesn't even make the top half of these rankings. Those dotted eyes = super cute

Sanity: He looks hilarious. One of his Pokedex entries says: "It often bangs its head on the river bottom as it swims but seems not to care." He seems like the Gold/Silver version of Slowpoke. So derpy with an even derpier face. So good.

Paratroopa: ditto's face on a much cooler pokemon

Gen: Look at this dumbass! He's like the idiot friend you keep around despite him never accomplishing anything worthwhile just because he makes you laugh but really isn't that good enough? ISN'T IT!? Yes. Laughter is important. I love this stupid Swaggerlicious mofo. Oh, and here's a fun fact for you to chew on: Quagsire is based on the giant salamander, the same animal Godzilla is based on. Godzilla and Quagsire could not be more different if they tried, no?

Raka: I love how derpy it looks. And I've always had a soft spot for it.

Magmortar: Quagsire has one of the most amazingly derpy faces in any medium, and even without it being actually pretty good now (being able to shut down Kyogre and nearly every physical attacker almost completely is really something), it’d be pretty high up because it looks fun and goofy. Good mudfish.

Brayze: His tiny dot eyes and slash mouth are great. I used to have a keychain that was sort of like this, it was from mcdonalds, but I lost it at work one day and had to get the lock changed on my apartment, quagsire brings back these fond memories of ancient days

Natwaf: This thing is seriously scary with Unaware. Which is fitting, just look at it's endearingly stupid face. Not a care in the world… not even for your Swords Dance'd pokemon. That said, it's still weak, and I dropped it off my Mono-Water team in HG when a better replacement came.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Wooper-Quagsire
Male: HERP-DERP
Female: Osaka

KBM: He's so happy! And look, he's waving at me! Hi, Quagsire! :D

Goa: Water/Ground troll typing, derpy face and amnesia problems? Heck yes.

Anagram: Such a doofus.

Logicblade: Derpy cool, but not nearly to the extent of other pokemon.

Suor: I like Quagsire much more than Wooper because, despite looking like a totally imbecile klutz, it can actually pack a punch. Growing hands also helps.

Stifled: Herpa derpa.

CasanovaZelos: Ground/Water is a cool type, but it loses points for looking worse than Wooper.

Ecks: Wooper is kind of cute. This guy is shapeless, ugly, and way too derpy.

Cybat: I know some people like this guy a lot but I just don't see it.

Starfox: Not quite as bad as Wooper. At least it lost the tv antennae. But it’s still full of irredeemable derp.

Cybat: Can't wait to read the debate on how ghost-like it is. For some reason I was drawn to it as soon as I saw it; maybe I was just excited because there was finally a Ghost-type attack to use.

Preston: <3 Misdreavus <3

Very good Ghost type. Levitate is amazing given it's immunity to Ground types.

Sanity: Kwoot girl ghost. D'aww.

Suor: Whether its based on a detached head or a banshee, Misdreavus is easily one of the pokémon with the best origins. I miss those Perish-trapping days, too.

CasanovaZelos: Ghost Pokemon are just generally cool. I don't get why there are so few in Gen I and II.

KBM: What a weirdly cute ghost this is. And it has a good sense of style, what with the pearls and the hairdo.

Eddv: One of my least favorite Ghosts but Ghosts are cool.

Anagram: I genuinely wanted to love this thing back in Silver. I caught one, I tried to train it, but man, did it blow chunks.

Stifled: Kinda reminds me of the 5th ghost they added to the Pac Man Christmas special just for the sake of having a female ghost.

Gen: O how the mighty have fallen. I really feel sorry for Missy. Every time I rank her in my head she slips a little further down the ladder. This was a pokémon that was once surely in my top twenty for this generation, but with the advent of so many awesome Ghost types in more recent generations her appeal and value as a unique ghost plummets ever downward. So here she rests (in peace).

Paratroopa: oh hey finally a good ghost pokemon augh hey stop why are you throwing things

Magmortar: Typing its name is still a real hiccup for me. Gen 2 could’ve used another Ghost-type. I mean really.

Raka: Ugh, lame design. It's just so…lame, you know? Lame. Mislame-avus. Lamedreavus. Misdrealame.

Natwaf: Looks pleasing. But why is Mort using Gastly instead of this thing? Sure, it sucks, but Agatha already has monopoly on it dammit.

Brayze: Even the boy misdreavus are floating ladyheads, woowoowoowoo http://comicswithoutviolence.com/comics/20060726.jpg

Starfox: For a ghost, it’s pretty disappointingly lame. Doesn’t help that it sucks in battle too.

Goa: Yeah, we added another ghost type in Gen II! So what if you only ever fight it once and probably forget about it afterward. The ghost gym leader didn't even want to use one. That's rejection.

Cybat: Not a lot to say here, I just really like the design. I was always intrigued by the time travel thing, even if they didn't develop it much.

Bane: Celebi is weird but I really like it, partly having to do with how rare it is. I really like the shade of green it is and being a Fairy (not type but actual Fairy). Its eyes make it pretty adorable as well.

CasanovaZelos: I hate the idea of event Pokemon, especially since most of them are actually pretty cool.

Anagram: Inferior Mew. The fact that I rated it so high tells you how much higher I rate Gen 1 on average than the other gens.

Eddv: I really like Celebi because it’s a cool little sprite.

Natwaf: Never used Celebi much, but I will always be grateful to it for allowing that Giovanni fight in HG/SS. Also, whatever happened to the GS Ball in the anime? Natwaf’s Nicknames: Event Only Hmm… actually, I think I called the one in Crystal 'The Doctor', but I'm not sure

Preston: Cute looking elf thingamajig.

Raka: It's okay. Also, Pokemon the 4th Movie was one of the few Pokemon movie I watched.

Brayze: Eyeliner goth plant fairy features in highly realistic porn that I sure didn’t look for nope

Wickle: I loved its usage in finding Giovanni.

Goa: Probably the hardest Pokemon to get in the entire series.

KBM: I might get some s*** for this. Celebi has never made an impression on me whatsoever. Also event-only Pokémon is a really, really stupid concept. The top of my personal “fodder” tier.

Paratroopa: for a cutesy grass fairy thing it could certainly be a great deal worse, for exhibit A I present all the dumb fairy things that are worse

Stifled: Such a desperate attempt at making a Mew clone. And it’s ironic because Mewtwo is a literal canon Mew clone. Then Celebi is a Mew clone by design. Stop cloning Mew!

Gen: I caught one legit! Back when I was way more into pokémon I thought Celebi's movies were great. It was cool in pretty much every appearance and time travel is always a fun concept to toy with. Still a Grass Legendary ugh... Also suffers from Not-as-Cool-or-Cute-as-Mew Syndrome.

Magmortar: I guess it’s decent as a battling thing (beware of Bugs!), but absolutely nothing about that design appeals to me, and almost never being available outside of Japan, by a LOT more than other event Pokemon, is just lame. In short, I think Celebi sucks.

KBM: I LOVE this Pokémon. The design has so much personality, water/electric is a badass typing, it's terrific in-game, and even the Pokédex entries are notably cool. It's exactly the right mixture of cute and awesome for me, and it's a large part of why I would ever NOT pick Totodile as a starter when I play Gen 2.

Arti: Lanturn was awesome. Used one in Crystal and again in Ruby, nice ability and a great typing.

Paratroopa: so stoked about life he could probably just swallow up all sadness and misery near him in a happiness black hole

Preston: Dude look at this color. The Water/Electric combo is amazement in action. I'm going to say "dude look at this color" every time when I see a Pokémon sport the color blue.

Natwaf: Kinda looks like a whale. I;m not sure why, but something about the face and the lantern just clicked with me. Water/Electric is a great combo defensively and offensively, and it's key to my in-game Mono-Water team.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Chinchou-Lanturn
Male: Lucifer, Helel
Female: Galadriel

Suor: One of the most interesting and inventive Gen II pokémon both in typing and execution. “Boring” my ass, that's Teddiursa and the likes.

Wickle: It's strangely adorable to me.

Raka: I like the Water/Electric typing. It looks so weird though.

Brayze: Probably the cutest anglerfish ever envisioned, and they are a famously beautiful species
Cybat: Smart idea of making an anglerfish Pokemon which leads to a cool type combo and useful Absorb abilities. Not a great name though.

Goa: I used these quite a lot in the card game for some reason.

Magmortar: Good bulky light dolphin thing! Fun Pokemon.

Gen: I had no idea this guy was as popular as he is on this board until recently. Sorry for the people I'll surely offend with this mediocre ranking but I find it completely average. Its design is so average to me that I couldn't be bothered enough to find a synonym to describe how average it is. Wow. The only reason it barely makes my top half is the (almost) unique typing that led to some nice type coverage back in ye olden days. I even used one on my Silver team and it was serviceable, but I never grew too attached to it.

Anagram: Deep sea fish are so horrifying. Instead of getting a pokemon that represents them, we got this.

Ermine: I will never get the appeal for this pokemon. The definition of mediocre.

Stifled: Herp a derple doo

CasanovaZelos: The design of the line goes from weird to forgettable.

KBM: I love dogs, I love Dark, and I love Fire. That's pretty much all you need to know to know I'm going to love this Pokémon.

Starfox: I love dogs, and dark/fire is an awesome type combination. Combine that with the fact that this is one of the cases where they actually managed to successfully combine being badass and cute, and I’m pretty much automatically going to love it. All of my Gen II top 10 would probably make my overall top 25 or 30, so my favorites from this generation I really love. Just… not so much in the middle ground.

Anagram: Looks exactly how it should: a tiny, crappy version of its evolution.

Stifled: Kinda reminds me of Rush from Mega Man.

CasanovaZelos: A dark dog, what's not to love? Other than the fact it comes uselessly late in its first appearance.

Preston: Looks like a Pokémon that would guard a junkyard. Not a favorite of mine but I don't really mind Houndour all that much. This is a compliment given my hatred for my dogs in general. Snubbull and Granbull can go die in a gas chamber.

Natwaf: For the longest time I've wanted to try the Houndour line, but geez why is almost always late-game? Fortunately XY fixed that problem

Cybat: Aww, who's a good little hellhound? You are! Yes you are!

Magmortar: I’ve never cared a lot about Houndour. It’s just a dog. One with bones sure, but it’s still a dog. It’s pretty useful as soon as you get it thanks to that offensive typing though.

Raka: Eh it's okay. A scary looking puppy.

Gen: Growlithe is the better puppy pokémon, but Houndoom's babby is okay too.

Brayze: It’s crappier houndoom, like a 12 year old at the cusp of gothhood

Paratroopa: this is actually roughly the line of demarcation for pokemon I like and don't like in gen 2. I'm basically totally neutral to houndour. good job houndour

Magmortar: Ursaring breaks bones and stomps on villages to extents rarely seen in this series. 130 attack isn’t even close enough I need Guts man. It just destroys everything. I love it!

Starfox: GO GO BEARER RANGERS! Oh that fateful night of the gauntlet zombie invasion. I love bears though, and Ursaring is a bear. A badass bear. But not the most badass, that goes to Pangoro. Still, I like his typing, plus his insanely high attack with guts makes him fun to use in the lower tiers, plus I had one for my SS Nuzlocke that pulled me out of a bunch of tight spots. Got a soft spot for this guy.

CasanovaZelos: I've never even used Ursaring, I just love bears. Not even my favorite Pokebear (that title goes to Pangoro).

Flubbin: I love bears and Ursaring is a bear so I love Ursaring he’s great and also a bear, f*** yeah bears.
Stifled: Bear Bros.

Poke: BEARER RANGERS!!!

Anagram: Literally just a bear with a target on its stomach. The weird thing is that it’s unrelated to Sentret… OR IS IT?

Goa: Few Pokemon go from so cute to so terrifying in a single evolution. But I guess that's what really happens to Grizzly Bear cubs.

Wickle: GO GO BEAR-KUN

Natwaf: It's a damn bear, and I've used it in Random to… some success. Still won't use it in an in-game team

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Teddirusa-Ursaring
Both Genders: Beruang
Raka: Dancing bears, painted wings.

KBM: I mean, yeah, it's pretty cool, and I like Normal tanks like this guy and Kangaskhan a lot... but damn if I don't just miss Teddiursa when I look at him. It's like if a Pomeranian evolved into a Great Dane. Let them be two separate things or I will forever miss the Pomeranian.

Ecks: It's a bear. I like bears okay, but he's just a bit generic looking.

Gen: I will now never be unable to think of this thing without also seeing Mer's comic of it.

Preston: Teddisura smoking a 6 pack of joints. Nothing new to see here. >_>

Cybat: I just don't like the way he looks. He's kinda fat and the ring looks weird.

Suor: Angry bears, now those I like more than cutesy bears. It isn't terribly interesting though.

Brayze: The last thing you see before you die is a hand reaching out of a well, handing you a pinkslip for designing crappy pokemon

Paratroopa: dumb bear that doesn't deserve any of the 100 bear jokes I could think of but don't want to

Ermine: Ash's Gligar is completely adorable and I want it. I'm glad he still has a similar personality when he evolves into Gliscor who is also awesome! It's fun to use Gligar with Eviolite even tho Gliscor is still better. <3 Gligar! Bat-scorpions are da best.

Arti: Gligar's typing was always weird. Ground/Flying never made any bit of sense, and I liked using it because of that.

Goa: Being the Pokemon World's Batman will get you far.

Cybat: Ground/Flying? What does that even mean? But hey, if you are known as the Fly Scorpion Pokemon, you're off to a good start.

Starfox: Gligar’s cool, but it kinda hurts him that his evo is so much cooler.

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

Gen: Bonus points for hilarious copyright infringement Gligarman aside, its design is kinda safe and boring. 'However I like the concept enough to overlook that. I mean... it's a burrowing scorpion crossed with a vampire bat and has cute lil' fangs. What more do you need?

Wickle: :p

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

CasanovaZelos: One of the coolest Gen II designs mixed with an awesome typing.

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

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

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

Anagram: I mean… okay.

Stifled: It’s ugly. You can tell me it isn’t all you want. But it is.

Raka: So forgettable, even among Gen 2 Pokemon. Wow.

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

Preston: I don't really like Gligar. I get the implantation that Gligar looks more like a scorpion than a bat. I mean look at it's tail. Also? Please keep your tongue inside your mouth at all times please.

Eddv: Murkrow is pretty cute and I enjoy the fact that he looks like a gangster. His evolution goes one step even cooler but I really like delinquent looking brids. What an awesome raven.

Poke: I am the birdman. Crows are awesome. I love his evolution into Pimpkrow, but Murkrow represents the birdies well too.

Ermine: Excellent and simple design. Very cool poke.

Gen: What was the deal with that one talking Murkrow in Team Rocket's hideout? Why does (s)he help you? Team Rocket is known for mistreating pokémon so maybe that one just got fed up with his/her own job, but if that's the case why can't capturing it for yourself be an event like red Gyarados or something? Such a missed opportunity... Uh anyway cool design based on a witch and her familiar all rolled into one. Very clever!

Cybat: I don't understand why so many Dark types introduced here were single-stage. Oh well. Prankster is hilarious.

Logicblade: Just some jack*ff crow that I love for no good reason. Continue being a glorious *hole, friend.

Magmortar: What can I say? I am a sucker for things inspired by things like gangster, film noir, the mafia and whatnot. Mobcrow is pretty wicked. Prankster makes it really annoying now too.

Anagram: Murkrow is okay, but it’s nothing compared to its evolution.

Paratroopa: I like crows but he's just not quite as straight up pimpin' as honchkrow

KBM: Much-needed variety to the whole genre of bird Pokémon, something this generation actually does really well. I also love that apparently Murkrow and Meowth just steal s*** back and forth from each other.

Stifled: I can’t believe it took two generations to get this guy an evolution.

Raka: Nevermore!

Suor: I love birds, and I love a crow with dark powers and a witch-cap. Simple, yet genuinely effective design.

Preston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hplpQt424Ls

Brayze: So many better ways to make a crow, thankfully this was accomplished with Murkrow’s far superior evolution, shaftkrow

CasanovaZelos: Really forgettable considering it helped introduce the dark type. Why did all the dark types get shoved into the Kanto region for Gen II? "Hey, we introduced a new type. Have fun not using it until you've already completed the bulk of the game."

Natwaf: WEAK. Thank god Gen 4 fixed it. And we already got a better crow

Mana: Until I just looked it up, I seriously thought it was Gold-exclusive because I never remember encountering it. It looks pretty good, has a good typing, but just a Pokemon I don't remember.

Wickle: THE REAL KING OF THE SEA COME BACK WITH DRAGON TYPE. BOOYAH.

Flubbin: Of all of the “king” Pokemon, Kingdra reigns supreme for me. The formidable typing combined with his stellar design really make him great.

Natwaf: My Mono-Water's MVP. This thing carried me through the post-game Lance and Red fights despite me being horribly underleveled (my god GSC and HGSS had godawful level pacing post-game). While it's stats is too balanced, Swift Swim and Dragon Dance makes it a force to be reckoned with and only being weak to Dragon (well, and Fairy, and Freeze Dry) is a huge plus.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Horsea-Seadra-Kingdra
Male: Juan
Female: Clair

MSG: Water/Dragon was such a ridiculous combo back in the ol' Gen 2 days. Also, f*ck Clair. Fun fact I did not know until recently: There are actually wild Kingdra you can catch in all the Gen 5 games.

Eddv: Kingdra is a really boss twist on the seadra line and I really enjoy it.

CasanovaZelos: The Horsea line would be absolutely forgettable without this beast attached. A nice addition to the dragon line, showing just how much of a variety the type could have.

Goa: First to get the amazing water/dragon typing, and the Horsea line really needed the boost. Still, I feel it got included just so they can say every time got a new Pokemon.

Raka: He looks like he has indigestion.

Cybat: No clue where the dragon comes from. But it certainly looks regal now, if a little goofy in some art. Critical hit shenanigans are fun.

Magmortar: Just an awesome guy. I always like how weedlike and kind of old it looks. Solid in battle. It doesn’t get many moves, but it doesn’t need anything else. Really.

Paratroopa: we could make ANY kind of rad dragon, but let's make a tiny update to seadra, let's not get too crazy here, it's only pokemon here, it's only pokemon

Preston: I beloved Horsea and Seadra. Kingdra? Meh. Kingdra glaring at me creeps me out. I don't think I would want to evolve Seadra into this and ugh trade evolving ugh.

Anagram: One of the few evolutions to an earlier pokemon that seems natural. Good work.

Brayze: Uglier than seadra but also better, fun fact someone used eviolite seadra in a regional this year and did ok

KBM: It honestly surprises me that there are only two Water/Dragon types in the entire 700-whatever Pokémon that exist. Palkia's quite a bit cooler, though, as this really only serves as an addendum to try and make the Horsea line better.

Stifled: Something about this line is just really boring to me. Also, why is it a Dragon type when Charizard and Gyarados aren’t? So stupid.

Starfox: While I acknowledge that probably Seadra needed an evolution battle-wise, Seadra’s design is so much better than Kingdra’s it’s not even funny. Kingdra's kinda ugly. Also I hate Clair.

Gen: I'm honestly not sure why this needed to be invented. Did the Horsea line really merit another evolution? Also there are way too many imposter kings. Nidoking, Kingler, Seaking, Slowking... THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! I know some people love its design but I find Kingdra rather ugly.

Mana: Horsea was 139. Seadra was 144. I like Kingdra even less than them. I guess it speaks to how much worse a lot of GSC Pokemon are than RBY, but there's still a lot of good near the top.

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

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

MSG: I could use pants.

Anagram: I’d like it more without the collar, but it’s still pretty much exactly as good as Slowbro. Also, it needs pants.

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

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

Brayze: Everyone is going to say ‘He could use pants’ but personally I prefer my slowkings to freeball it

CasanovaZelos: Truly deserves the title of king. A nice design that isn't going for too much.

Natwaf: Really useful since I got it early in HG. Psychic still sucks as a STAB. I prefer the King to the Bro, shame Bro got the Mega and King got the shaft.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Slowpoke-Slowbro/Slowking

Male Slowbro: Tobybro, Funbro
Female Slowbro: Tobysis
Male Slowking: Tobyking
Female Slowking: Tobyqueen

Wickle: What Slowbro did wrong, this guy put on his head. Plus, the movie gave him a boost.

KBM: He's Slowbro with a Shellder of Knowledge on his head. That literally poisons him with intelligence. I'll buy that for a dollar.

Eddv: I will always like him for his role in Pokemon 2000 despite that sucking.

Poke: "I could use pants" is the single greatest line uttered in cinematic history.

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

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

Cybat: "Every time it yawns, Shellder injects more poison into it. The poison makes it more intelligent." what the ****

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

Raka: I don't like its design. Ughhh belch.

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

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

Stifled: I remember back in the first Pokemon movie where they “debuted” Donphan before Gen 2 was out. It was wild seeing something not in the coveted 151. I thought he was cool in the movie even though Ash owned him through main character hax. Then as time went on, I didn’t like him as much. Now I like him again after using him in battle in X/Y.

Starfox: I’ve never actually used Donphan, I just love its design. I really need to include him in my team at some point.

Magmortar: I love elephants, and it’s a pretty solid choice on a team a good deal of the time. Just a lot less of one this [current, ie sixth] generation. Shame.

Anagram: Donphan isn’t very good, but it has a special place in my heart for being the first and so far only random shiny I ever caught. Sadly, mine has terrible IVs and a –Atk/+SpDef nature, so I’ve never used it for anything except taking space in a box.

Goa: One of the rare cases I like both forms of a line equally. Phanpy is just adorable, while Donphan is just a boss of equal magnitude.

Cybat: Badass rolly elephant thing. Sorta this gen's Sandslash, it learned Earthquake by levelup.

Natwaf: Underwhelmed when I used it in Emerald's Mono-Ground team, but it does hit hard and take physical hits, I'll give it that. And who doesn't love a good STAB Earthquake? Tate and Liza, evidently.

CasanovaZelos: One of the Pokemon I really need to use sometime. Slick design and viable, but Rapid Spin is relatively useless in the main games.

Brayze: Did you know that: donphan is seriously like 3 feet tall he’s like a pig with a trunk and armor plating. Ps I learned that those things that are armor plating on lizard and bird legs are called ‘scutes’

Gen: Very sturdy line. I can't complain.

KBM: Pretty good design, but I tend to find most Ground types pretty forgettable when it comes to it. I like it quite a bit when I remember it exists.

Paratroopa: why are his tusks growing out of his cheeks? tusks don't work like that!

Raka: I remember that episode with a Donphan who can smell gems. Uh, it's an okay Pokemon.

Preston: Even when I accidentally nudge against a Donphan makes me an unhappy person. Screw you Donphan.

Anagram: I didn’t realize when I began this list that Steelix would end up so high. What can I say? I like it a lot. Poor Brock, though. He’s stuck still using Onix even when Mega Steelix is a thing.

Wickle: Like its Pre-evo, its face is terrible but I have a soft spot for its… metallic… snake-like appearance… for unown reasons. Seriously… I don’t know why I like this line, but I do.

Eddv: It's Onix only it doesn't suck. And Onix was awesome. Plus it was the first really accessible Steel type and unlike Dark I will always associate that typing with Steelix and Steel is a cool typing.

Mana: Such a vaaaaaaaaaaaast improvement over Onix. FACT.

CasanovaZelos: The steel types in this generation simply have some of the coolest designs in Pokemon. Even something as relatively useless as Steelix is redeemed by being crazy intimidating.

Ecks: Giant metal snake? I like. The teeth are a bit off-putting though.

Brayze: Onix got braces

KBM: I've always thought Steelix was a bit of a wasted opportunity as far as introducing Steel as a type—HOOOOOOLY s*** look at that Mega Evolution I am definitely bumping this up a few spots.

Natwaf: A sorely needed upgrade for Onix, and man oh man it looks badass. That said, when in my Mono-Steel palythrough I had to choose between Probopass and Steelix, I have to go with probopass. I did use it during a Showdown random, but ehh. Takes hits insanely well physically though.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Onix-Steelix
Male Onix: Brock
Male Steelix: Diamonix
Female: Jasmine

Goa: One of the better looking evolution added in a later gen of all time.

Logicblade: All of the gen 2 pokemon looked dumb, but 11 year old me loved them so they get higher rankings. I'm not fussed about the steel types too much, but I think they were good improvements on their lines. Steelix being the biggest improvement.

Raka: A steel-plated Onix. So good. Jaws of life.

Cybat: One of the best "added later" evolutions in the series in terms of being designed as stronger than the original. The type change was definitely needed, too.

Magmortar: Iron snake somehow looks even more Freudian than Onix. But unlike Onix, it can hit things. Nice.
Stifled: Onix definitely deserved an evolution. He didn’t deserve one that looks so dumb.

Preston: A more sinister looking Onix. Nothing particularly wrong with Steelix but having to trade evolve it is a big decrement I can't overlook and I have to put it outside of the top half of my list.

Paratroopa: onix is back and he's pissed about the fact that he sucked before

Gen: Ugly face + getting owned by Jasmine's one too many times = me no like

Ermine: YAWWWWWWWWWN

Logicblade: I love all the pokemon in this line, but Quilava stands out as the cutest of the bunch. I just want to rub his belly. :3

Gen: Nothing too surprising here. Quilava is imo the best in the single most solid starter line to date. Cutie Pie McBanana-Nose and Stompa-Stomp EXPLOSION ain't got nothin' on the guy that's a perfect blend of both. Even people that tend to think "boo hiss second stages aren't as cute as first stages or as cool as third stages; I have no class, and I'm a very boring person" generally like Quilava. Surely that can't be coincidence!

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

Starfox: This little guy is in a close competition for my favorite NFE Pokemon period (this coming from someone who vastly prefers fully evolved Pokes in most circumstances). He’s a great combination of cool and cute, he introduced me to flame wheel, which I thought looked really cool in Stadium and Colosseum, and he’s part of my favorite overall Pokemon line. So yeah, I obviously like him quite a bit.

Flubbin: In general middle evos aren’t my thing, but Quilava is definitely one of my favorites.

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

Raka: It's like someone tried to find a combination of Cyndaquil and Typhlosion and they made this.

Suor: Much better body shape than both Cyndaquil and Typhlosions. Head flames are awesome, they look like a mohawk of sorts.

Preston: Wasn't the red Beetleborg a female and the leader? I remember watching that show back in Daycare.

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

Stifled: It’s a middle evolution.

Paratroopa: he is sort of like a bigger cyndaquil, while also being like a smaller typhlosion. they really went all out on his design

Natwaf: Better looking than Cyndaquil, it's the open eyes

Goa: Looks like it would actually be good at catching prey. Otherwise pretty average.

CasanovaZelos: Has nothing on its brethren.

Magmortar: I was a big fan of it before, but now I don’t care about it.

Wickle: Double fire back! Not as cute as Cyndy, but still excellent.

Brayze: Oh wait I like this less than Typhlosion, still don’t really hate, he’s sort of the Kevin spacey of pokemon

Anagram: I typed “Quilaa” into Google by mistake while looking up pictures of pokemon, and got links to several women on Facebook.

Stifled: In the previous trio of legendaries, the electric type was my favorite. This time fire reigns supreme. I love Entei’s design. My experience of using him in battle is limited, but he seems capable. I also really enjoyed the third Pokemon movie with Entei and the little girl who thinks he’s her dad.

Magmortar: Even though it was really bad for a really long time, it really does have the legendary look. The face, the volcanic smoke back, the bands. And it was truly fantastic in the third movie. After Mewtwo, it probably got boosted more by the anime than any other Pokemon.

Bane: Another legendary I’ve always been fond of, even in the original games I thought he was the best of the 3 dogs. Then when Crystal made Suicune the most prominent I was like “Really? Not Entei?” They made up for it slightly with that movie. I love how majestic and proud he looks.

Starfox: I really like all of the legendary beasts, and liking all members of a trio is pretty uncommon for me. I really like his design, and though there are others who can do his battle role better, he’s still kinda useful if you want to put him on your team. Plus the battles in the third movie were pretty awesome, even if the movie as a whole was dumb.

Preston: <3 Entei <3

I would put Entei in my Top 10 given it's beast of an appearance in the third Pokémon movie and was in Melee but it was a POS to snag in Pokémon Colosseum at Mt. Battle so I think Entei can rest easy at number seventeen in my rankings.

Anagram: One of the many illustrious mustache pokemon.

Natwaf: Choice-Scarf Eruption AND Flare Blitz? Whoa mama. Too bad the Entei in the movie sucked. I always dread facing one in the Maison, praying I outspeed it before it manages to kill my team. Too bad none of my A.I. teammates has it.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Entei
No Gender: Merapi, Krakatau

Arti: ARGRARJGHH

Goa: He was cool in his movie I guess. I still have that Promo Entei card.

Brayze: Everyone’s favourite lion/st Bernard/power ranger hybrid

Gen: That movie made no sense. Like literally negative sense. Oh Japan... Anyway given what my favorite Gen I pokémon was, you'd probably expect me to like what is essentially a fire spouting dog-lion hybrid beast but... eh. I like him well enough obviously, but something about him never clicked for me. Chasing him around the map was annoying but I don't think that's the main reason.

Raka: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/92972/posts/232287/image-118938-full.jpg?1337725479

CasanovaZelos: Much like Raikou, I never use legendaries and don't care much for its design.

KBM: Kind of uninspired, like the other Legendary beasts, and for the second generation in a row, my least favorite Legendary is the Fire one (which is really sad). That said, it's still a Legendary, and I have fond memories of running around trying to catch these things just for the sake of doing it, so I have to give it extra credit.

Wickle: You know… him being the guardian of the one loli still doesn't move this dog any higher than this. I like him slightly for it, though.

Cybat: I still hold some resentment towards Entei because he was the 251st Pokemon I got in Gold. Roaming legendaries is such a terrible idea. But his design is also worse than the other two, so it works out.

Paratroopa: there was a pokemon movie about entei once. I dragged my mom to see it in the movie theater with me. sorry mom

Eddv: I really don’t like the gen 2 legends

Brayze: I feel so at peace here with the Indians

Raka: I don't even know. It's just really cool and I like its design. I swear I'm not trying to rack up outlier points. Gen 2 confuses me greatly.

Anagram: Aztec bird whose art style looks nothing like the rest of the game? Count me in. I wish it hadn’t been godawful for over a decade before suddenly becoming common as hell because of a Hidden World ability.

Goa: For some reason I loved using this guy in the original gold/silver and even ruby/sapphire. Probably because there wasn't a lot of flying or psychic types I liked back then.

Flubbin: Xatu is radical. I really dig the whole totem-pole oracle bird design, and the color scheme is excellent. In HG/SS, I loved having him following me around because he looked like my personal advisor who would give me all sorts of sagely advice.

Paratroopa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtXKEu6S-kM important bird video. it is mostly xatu related
Wickle: Psychic/Flying? My original 2 favorite types and now my 2nd and 3rd? Yes please. Also is an indian totem, so the top is a Thunderbird. <3

Eddv: Native American Thunderbird is the best concept for a pokemon out there

Suor: Once again, a punch in the face of all the people that claim that Gen II is boring. It's a SEER TOTEM BIRD full of colors, very few things in other generations can even compare.

KBM: Like I said with Natu (which I would guess is showing up first) – I love the unusual typing. That alone is enough for me in this case. Add to that the fact that Xatu really just looks kind of majestic, like a bird should... good stuff.

Natwaf: The number 1 pokemon I love that I have never ever used. Just look at it's sexy design. One cool **********er. Oh, there's also the Xatu meme which I don't really understand, but hey, Xatu love! Behold: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2nobA4Ixvo

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Natu-Xatu
Male: Will
Female: Totema

Cybat: Nicely designed. With many Psychic Pokemon it's hard to tell their type just by looking at them, but I feel like with Xatu you definitely can. Also, Magic Bounce is fun.

Kate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtXKEu6S-kM

Magmortar: Psychobird is cool, and Magic Bounce is wicked. I used this guy in SoulSilver, and it did me some surprising good.

Gen: It's hiding a kitty! I've always liked Xatu's design but I could never find a place for one on my team. Why are there so many Psychic and Flying types? I could watch this every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpes_5zYy5c

Oh my god...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmjPPoM1zOQ

Did Xatu become a meme when I wasn't looking? I just bumped Xatu up 6 spots for the Bad Apple parody, no joke.

Stifled: Cool looking psychic birdy.

CasanovaZelos: Natu is unfortunately out of the way in-game, but Xatu's design is one of the coolest in Gen II. This is my fodder line Pokemon, anything above it is a classic in my view.

Preston: Xatu can be found in a wide array of Providences in the Johto region. And by a wide array of Providences I'm totally kidding. You can't catch wild Xatu in the wild. Doesn't that suck or what?

Starfox: I love electric types and I love its design, although That weird mane could probably go. Still, I know I bring up my SS Nuzlocke a lot, but that probably helps Raikou the most. I groaned when, shortly after Ecruteak, my first encounter was with a Raikou. Knowing this meant I had a wasted route, I figured I’d just throw a Great Ball (I think) at it and see what happened. To my amazement, I caught it! I liked it to begin with, but after that I have no choice but to love the guy, haters be damned.

Natwaf: This ****er zapped a creature I would have OHKO'd with my pokemon, when it should have targeted the other pokemon, that way we would have cleared their first 2 pokemon. But NOOOOO, this idiot left the other thing alone, Crit-ing and killing Raikou and leaving my pokemon and the A.I.'s other pokemon against a pokemon we can't handle without Raikou. So why is this still number 13? Because hell yeah Sabertooth, up to that point it's insaely useful, and a reminder that my luck in battle ****ing sucks

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Raikou
No Gender: Badai

Stifled: He’s pretty even with Suicune in my book, but yellow takes the win.

Wickle: There was that one special about it and I liked it then.

Preston: I like it how Raikou has a cloud for a neck. That's spiffy. If Mufusa was a Pokémon he be Raikou. Well no okay Mufusa can be Entei.

Magmortar: Freaking electric sabretooth tiger. Pretty rad. Could be easier to get one though!

Anagram: The single legendary most gypped in the anime. It took until the thirteenth movie to appear as part of a group shot, although it had a cameo in a two-part episode advertising Pokemon Rangers.

KBM: The Legendary beasts have never really done much for me as Legendaries go, but it's not like they're bad. I'd say Raikou's probably my favorite of the bunch, but I prefer the awesomeness that is Zapdos any day.

Cybat: I'm gonna be honest, I don't really know what I'm looking at. Is that a beard or a cloud? Does it wear a helmet? And like a butterfly thing for whiskers? Just a very confusing design.

Raka: Whoa, who hit its face with a truck? #stopanimalviolence

CasanovaZelos: I really don't care much for the legendary beasts. I don't like using immediately fully evolved Pokemon in battle, or legendaries, and Raikou doesn't win much in design.

Goa: Since I have nothing else to say about him, curse you Nintendo for making this legendary trio so hard to catch.

Suor: Raikou would be at least 10 spots higher if it looked like a badass thunder tiger instead of having the worst mustache-mane combination possible.

Paratroopa: raikou kind of sounds like raichu which really sounds like hi-chew and now I want some hi-chew and I've forgotten all about raikou

Brayze: Have you seriously looked at raikou’s ass? It’s like an ornate, puffy butterfly. ...Oh you haven’t.

Gen: Pokémon really could use a REAL tiger. Not that Raikou is terribly disappointing or anything, it's just past due. Anyway Raikou isn't as cool or fierce as Entei nor as beautiful and graceful as Suicune. I guess not living up to either and not having its own niche makes it underwhelming.

Eddv: I really don’t like the gen 2 legends

Cody: I’ve always loved owls, so it’s no surprise that Noctowl is my favorite. Ash catching a Noctowl helped my opinion too, because I absolutely love the shiny coloring. Noctowl is just awesome.

Suor: I've spent my entire video-gaming life training Noctowls and finding ways to fit it into my teams despite being underwhelming in battle. That's how much I love Noctowl, awesome and unique compared to all the other “Normal type birds” in other generations.

Poke: NOTOWEL! I love owls. Favourite bird, Ash's Noctowl was badass and shiny. And the only shiny I ever caught was a Hoothoot who then evolved into Noctowl. A lot going on for it besides the most hilarious intentional typo ever.

Anagram: Now that Pidgeot has gotten a mega evolution, Noctowl is down to second worst generic bird. Also, I loved how, in the anime, Ash’s Noctowl was established as clever and wise, then the writers decided it was too much effort, and just switched it to having no personality at all.

Gen: I. Love. Owls. GameFreak not only managed to capture the intimidating majesty of the animal it's based on with this idea, but also added a nice element of whimsy without over-exaggerating its natural features. You know... there's a lot to be stated with simplicity.

Magmortar: You look at the face, and I tell you I would not want to mess with this owl. Might have my single favorite design from this generation.

Starfox: Definitely the most unique of the early Normal/Flying birds. Like its design, too.

Preston: Ash had one (in the anime) if my memory serves me correctly. I was never too ardent towards flying Pokemon but I guess Noctowl is okay.

Wickle: Him being my Flying type the first time through this gen earned props, but I swiftly scrapped him for Xatu and a certain meme made me even further bored with him, so he couldn't reach top 20.

Stifled: notowl

KBM: At least Hoothoot evolves into something decently cool (which is a problem with this gen). I've always wondered why it wasn't Dark or Psychic, though, other than the fact that it had to fill the Pidgeot role of its generation; I think one of those would have fit better. I always get so bored with the predictable Normal/Flying options.

Cybat: Hypnosis and Fly (and Flash) make this a handy guy to have around, and he looks pretty cool. For how many birds there are in Pokemon I'm surprised there aren't more owls.

Natwaf: Looks good for an early bird. Not too useful though.

Natwaf’s Nickname:

Hoothoot-Noctowl
Male: KaeporaG
Female: Athena

Paratroopa: it takes a lot of work to make an owl only KIND of cool, but game freak dared to dream big and made an only kind of cool owl

Raka: So boring.

Brayze: When he evolved he started standing on two legs and now he’s just an owl

Goa: It's an Owl! A pretty cool looking one, but still generic.

CasanovaZelos: A simple but nice design.

KBM: See, THIS is the Pokémon Moltres SHOULD have been. Ho-Oh looking so cool on the cover is the sole reason why I went with Gold instead of Silver back when I was deciding which one I was going to buy when they came out.]

Magmortar: Phoenix just destroys everything. It’s one of those rare Pokemon that has basically no 100% foolproof counter. Ho-oh these days is so strong it’s kind of wrong. Yes this applies to most ubers, but come on, its signature move has a 50% chance to burn. That’s pretty stupid in a morbid way.

Natwaf: Master of the zombie beasts, the regal Chinese Phoenix Ho-oh is a heck of a lot better than the abomination that is the Western Phoenix Molters. Sacred Fire HURTS! It also has Sacred Ash in most/all games it's in. Too sacerd for me too use though.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Ho-oh
No Gender: Feng Huang

Logicblade: Talk about badass. It's a rainbow bird, and sacred fire is such a cool move. It kind of looks like an evolved Dux... it's now my headcanon

Cybat: Sacred Fire is extremely badass. It's sorta fat-looking though.

Ermine: Amazing design and color pattern. Awesome legendary. It really sucks that it'll lose to overrated lugia but alas...

Anagram: What were you doing in that first episode, Ho-Oh? Why did you go into Kanto? Was it just to kick off Ash’s adventure and make him seem more special than he really was? It better not have been. This is basically the cutoff, by the way, for pokemon I genuinely like.

Arti: SACRED FIRE

Wickle: Moltres done correctly, and his appearance in the anime is classic, but nothing special past that.

Stifled: They tried way too hard with this thing’s design. Holy crap there is way too much going on at once. If they relaxed a bit on the flashy colors, he’d be a lock for top ten since I love fire types.

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

CasanovaZelos: Ho-oh has never had a chance to shine due to the dominance of Lugia. It's cool it showed up so early in the anime, but like most Legendaries it is there to fill up the Pokedex.

Paratroopa: hohos? where? oh it's just a phoenix I was hoping for crappy pastries

Raka: While Lugia is sleek and cool, Ho-Oh look like something you'd buy at a Little China bazaar.

Gen: This is a much better phoenix pokémon than that funky chicken introduced in the first gen. Sacred Fire is a wicked move and Ho-Oh is pretty neat. I however grew much more attached to Lugia because I had Silver. Still the mythos behind this guy is too cool to overlook.

Brayze: Sort of like my dead great aunt, doesn’t matter how garish you are if you’re just ugly as sin. Man that was totally mean, she just loved me as a kid but I was terrified of her because of how she looked. I am straight up feeling a twinge of remorse writing this but onward and upward

Bane: The start of brilliance, this little guy is awesome. I love that he has Brock-eyes and how cute he was on the anime. So good for a starter.

Raka: Aww, how cute. Cyndaquil more like Cutedaqute.

Stifled: Gen 2 is a rare instance where I prefer the beginning stage to the full evolution. Cyndaquil is such a cute little thing.

Ermine: Adorable

Logicblade: I kind of don't like his nose, which is why he's the bottom of the group for me. Still really nice though, and was my very first pokemon. Uguu Cyndaquill.

Flubbin: Cyndaquil is probably my favorite stage 1 starter. He’s just so cute. Totodile and Chikorita are cool and all, but there was no hesitation when I had to pick my starter in Gen II. Really, the whole Cyndaquil line is solid.

Ecks: First form of maybe the most consistent fire starter line… probably because there isn't a huge change between the three stages.

Preston: Wait so Ash actually evolved Cyndaquil? This is new to me.

Cybat: My first Gold starter. He is pretty cute.

Paratroopa: had him as my partner in PMD. I think he's cute

Anagram: Very cute. I was sad when Ash’s evolved.

CasanovaZelos: I really don't care for its design as a starter Pokemon. Cute, but not in a way that would make me choose it over the other two.

Gen: Y'all are gonna hate me for this (those of you that care anyway), but Ash's Cyndaquil sucked. I thought the show was setting it up for some kind of redemption arc where it started off as timid and weak but after winning some battles and gaining some confidence- maybe evolving- it would become one of Ash's strongest and most dependable pokémon. Nope. It did get a bit stronger and more confident but ultimately that arc would not come about until Sinnoh with a much cooler fire starter.

Wickle: Only Gen 2 line in which all of them are good.

Natwaf: I am not a fan of it's closed eyes. Useful in my Crystal run though.

Brayze: if cyndaquil was Korean he would have had plastic surgery ages ago

KBM: As a big fan of Fire Pokemon, this one was a huge disappointment to me and is far and away my least favorite Gen II starter. I just don't like the ugly design. It's a shame, because it's got a pretty good learnset compared to Chikorita.

Goa: First form starters really weren't as good this generation.

Magmortar: Fire mouse with closed eyes. Kind of cute but not the most useful Smash Bros. Poke Ball.

Brayze: I’d like you to meet my pokewaifu hey don’t slam the door mom, sneasel and I are in love

Preston: <3 Sneasel <3

Great Pokemon. Sneasel screams anti-hero to me. Looks cool, sharp claws, black fur and you get the idea.

Gen: Despite never really getting what exactly this thing is- a cat weasel?- I just think it's perfect. That devilish sneer, that asymmetric feather thing, that poke-able belly, THEM PAWS! It's just perfect for what it is... whatever that may be. Also Dark/Ice is a cruel combination... offensively. Lol Ice types and defense!

Cybat: Yeah, another mean-looking Dark type. But why mess with what works, right?

Paratroopa: in the games, they banned mewtwo. In the trading card game, they banned sneasel. sneasel rules.

CasanovaZelos: A really cool design and typing, too bad it literally doesn't show up until after you get all the badges. What is the point?

Natwaf: If looks could kill. Too bad it doesn't because as it is, it's not even a glass cannon. Just glass. Or… glass Kunai I guess? No, Glass Dart. Yeah. Huzzah for Gen IV evo!

Raka: All around bad-ass, with sharp claws and dark coloration

KBM: Almost awesome. You have two totally underused types and you ALMOST nailed either of them. So close.

Goa: Cool idea, bad execution. This thing really needed its later evolution.

Magmortar: In gens 2 and 3, it had two special types…and a special attack base of 35. That’s pretty hilarious in a morbid way. Otherwise, I don’t care.

Anagram: I always felt like this should have had an evolution, and eventually it gained one. Okay.

Stifled: I don’t like you or your allergies.

Suor: Now this pokémon I dislike because it should look like a cunning, dangerous weasel and instead it looks like a huge, f***ing b****. There's a subtle difference.

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

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

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

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

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

Logicblade: Still cute, but with an awesome attitude. Fiery manes are always a plus.

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

Raka: I'm pretty sure I used one. Not the greatest of starters but it's like a brilliant diamond of Gen 2. Maddening agony.

Goa: I don't know why a rat can explode with the force of a Volcano, but Typhlosion is pretty awesome.

Magmortar: Typhoon + explosion. ‘nuff said. It and #12 on my list are basically interchangeable.

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

Preston: Typhlosion is the only final form of the Fire starter Pokémon that does not have a secondary type.

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

Nawtaf’s Nicknames:
Cyndaquil-Quilava-Typhlosion

Male: Sonic
Female: Amy, Sally

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

CasanovaZelos: A fully evolved starter should really be higher than this. It's really just kind of forgettable.

Wickle: He will forever have Flamethrower thanks to the latest Godzilla movie. Even if just in my heart.

Anagram: You know your gen has crap starters when this is the best out of all of them.

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

Paratroopa: way too much an amorphous blob of a mammal to really be as cool as it could be

KBM: RAWR I'M TRYING TO BE REALLY BADASS LIKE CHARIZARD IS IT WORKING

Brayze: Somehow it is not a cross between a typhoon and an explosion, more like a cross between a furnace and a waste of time

Ecks: My sweet metallic devil bird. Unique typing, amazing name, and an overall cool concept. Have had a lot of fun using it over the years. Also, can opener tail.

Preston: <3 Skarmory <3

A vulture in steel plated armor. Can't go wrong with that.

Goa: If a sleek fighter jet is the first thing you think of looking at a Pokemon, you did something right.

Natwaf: You'd think I'd be hating on the other half of the Skarmbliss combo, wouldn't you? Fortunately, Steel/Flying is a neat type, and I love it's design. So edgy. My fly HM slave of choice in Platinum for my Mono-Steel… too bad it's only available post-game. Didn't even manage to use it for fighting. Oh well.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Skarmory
Male: Razor
Female: Pepper, Lana Skye (no longer used)

Anagram: Ugh, way too common in Singles, but it’s legitimately good. I got really good at predicting roosts so I could nail these things with focus blast.

Ermine: Badass bird poke with a great design. Loved using this guy competitively, he pulled through for me so many times.

Suor: The sole fact that its feathers can be used as swords make Skarmory an A+ pokémon.

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

Magmortar: Steel bird looks amazing and is one of the most consistently strong Pokemon ever. Good stuff.

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

Stifled: I’m halfway in between liking and disliking this thing. But it’s Gen 2, so it easily makes the top half of the list.

Paratroopa: well, skarmory is a pretty cool pokemon I suppose, but actually, blissey's just the worst, I mean, it's so dumb and fat and pink and... wait, that's weird, why did I just switch to talking about blissey in the middle of that? I don't know, just, a twitch I guess

Cybat: Pretty scary-looking metal bird. I know it's a pain in the ass competitively, but eh, never played that.

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

Brayze: It was supposed to be the physical counterpart of mantine but it pretty much left its specially defensive counterpart in the dust now didn’t it

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

Gen: The original user of Steel Wing and the original Blissey-buster! I uh... I got nothin'. It's okay.

Eddv: Stealth Rocks Suck.

Karo: An idiotic metal turkey that despite having its entire body make of steel, including its 'wings', is somehow able to fly.

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

Wickle: What? Mah gatr grew strong. So glad Physical Water attacks actually became a thing though

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

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

Raka: It only got this high mostly because of two things: Lazor Gator and the fact that its name had to be spelled weirdly because of insufficient slot

Logicblade: Big scray croc with missing letters in his name, but still a pretty cool dude. Pokemon does crocodilians well

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

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

Arti: It looks terrifying, and it's probably the best of the three starters final evos

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

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

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

Ecks: Feraligatr is one of those I have a high opinion of in my mind, and then I go and actually look at it and leave disappointed. Sprites have improved over time, at least

Brayze: I’m all up on your junk the moment you get sheer force, feraligatr

Paratroopa: he may not have an o but he sure gave your mom one last night ooooooh

Goa: See ya later Feraligatr. After a while Krookodile.

Anagram: The misspelled name kind of bothers me, I won’t lie. As for the pokemon itself… it’s serviceable? Definitely low tier as far as fully evolved starters go. That’s another thing: Gen 2 easily has the worst starters overall, in all categories. I don’t know why it’s so bad, either

Suor: http://oi50.tinypic.com/35cerdt.jpg; http://oi48.tinypic.com/19qwhx.jpg possibly the most pointless starter in its original game, ever.

Cybat: Stupid face, stupid name, and stupid (at the time) stat distribution. Not a great showing.

Natwaf: More like BRObat, AM I RIGHT FELLAS? The design is pure awesome, and I loved it the moment I used it in-game and in Factory/Random Showdown. **** you LG for making me wait on using this fantastic bat!

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Zubat-Golbat-Crobat

Male: BruceWayne
Female: Nene

Stifled: It amazed me how something as disgusting and terrifying as Golbat could evolve into something so sleek and cool. This guy is ridiculously fast. I dunno if he’s actually the fastest Pokemon overall, but he’s gotta be close.

Raka: Speed beast and it doesn't look too bad with four wings!

Arti: I never trained one until DPP, but it turned out to be a solid Pokemon at level 100.

Mana: Such a vaaaaaaaaaaaast improvement over Golbat. FACT.

Eddv: Poison is my favorite type and I was so happy the bat line got a viable pokemon.

Suor: Pink Crobat Master Race.

Cybat: A shame this had to come from making friends with a Golbat. But it is enough of a badass that I won't hold that against it too much.

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

Goa: ****, after years of being pestered by them, we actually have a reason to catch a Zubat now.

Logicblade: How can something so terrible become something so awesome? I dunno, but Crobat pretty much redeems Zubat's gawful line.

CasanovaZelos: The redeemer. Such a cool design, a perfect upgrade for the rather bland Zubat and Golbat.
Anagram: Almost redeems Zubat. Almost.

Flubbin: Crobat redeems the whole Zubat line. Those wings though.

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

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

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

Preston: Eating a slice of cake results in higher glucose levels. Which can result in polyamory respirations manifesting the human body to emit hyperactive behavior. On topic. Crobat is okay I guess.

Ecks: Fat, ugly bat. I like the color scheme, at least. Unpopular opinion, but Zubat is my favorite design of the line.

Paratroopa: wait, let me get this straight. you took all of golbat's hilarious and completely off

Suor: I don't know. I hate beetlebugs, cockroaches and most insects IRL, but this thing just looks so friendly I don't even care. Friendly but still badass and strong.

Natwaf: He maybe falling in usage, but he'll always be high in my heart. Part of my Mono-Fighting team in my first Platinum run, this thing easily takes care of any Psychic in it's way. Oddly enough, despite the tendency for Rhino beetles to beat Stag Beetles, Mega Pinsir beats Mega Heracross. Beetle Tendency if you will. Oh, right, I need to read Jojolion again. Wait, where was i? Oh, right, Heracross. One tough SOB you don't want to mess with.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Heracross

Male: Hercules
Female: Hera, Megara

Cybat: Such a fun type combination, even if it wouldn't really be able to take advantage of it for a few generations. But Megahorn!

CasanovaZelos: Fighting/Bug is such a cool combination, and it's really a nice design.

Logicblade: Heracross was probably the first bug I thought they got right. Scyther was close, but I wasn't big on the appeal. Gen 2 had some decent bugs, but it doesn't beat Gen V, aka the best generation. Still, a great moveset, a good aesthetic and a great name ties up a great package.

Magmortar: I dunno if I prefer it or Pinsir but either way, Heracross is a beast. Beetles are among the few bugs I can tolerate and Heracross proves a point on that. More than anything else Heracross is good at hitting things, and it hits things really, really, REALLY hard.

Anagram: Overrated but still really good.

Eddv: Badass bug is a cool idea

Gen: You know what's cool? Rhinoceros beetles. You know what's even cooler? Hercules beetles? What could possibly be cooler than tha- FIGHTING RHINOCEROS HERCULES BEETLE HYBRIDS THAT ARE TOTAL DUDES AND HAVE "COME AT ME, BRO" SPRITES!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/74/Spr_4d_214_m.png I rest my case. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! At first I was put off by that Mega, but you know... later I came to realize it was just a closer representation of the beetle Heracross is actually named for. Also its face makes me laugh. We're cool now, dawg.

Goa: A Pokemon that should probably should rank higher, but I've been on the receiving end of its close combat too many times.

Paratroopa: an evolution to pinsir? what? no, let's just make something entirely different instead

Brayze: I like honey too, heracross

KBM: I'll give this gen credit where bugs are concerned: it has too many, most of them are crap, and I still hate bugs... but there are a handful here that are actually quite good. This thing is almost Pinsir levels of terrifying once it Mega Evolves. Which is a good thing.

Preston: I used to hate Heracross when I was younger but I've had a change of heart for it lately. Heracross was a little annoying in the anime. What with Heracross sucking the sap out of Bulbasaur and crap. You think Ash could of just transferred Charizard and Squirtle over to Professor Oak like he did with HERACROSS and we didn't have to deal with Ash letting go of his two best Pokemon. >_> But? I do have a Heracross plushie and Heracross reminds me of Beetleborgs so I give credit where credit is due.

Stifled: Definitely inferior to Pinsir, but I doubt I’ll have many backers on that claim. Still pretty decent in his own right though.

Raka: You can't spell 'boss' without 'Heracross'.

Starfox: I’ve never been a big fan of Heracross. I mean I like him and he’s decent enough, but the amount of love he gets kind of perplexes me.

Arti: Always will be my favorite 2nd generation Pokemon, I've trained a whole bunch of them over the course of the entire series.

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

Paratroopa: sheep herders do not actually herd sheep. they herd very woolly dragons. this is a true fact I learned about it on discovery channel

Stifled: I do enjoy yellow things. Ampharos is kinda strange looking considering he’s a sheep, but a good kind of strange.

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

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

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

Brayze: His mega’s glorious golden tresses made me gay for ampharos.

Raka: Nice, weird but cute design. A good 'alternate' choice of Electric type. Too bad its Mega Evolution looks like it grew fungi.

OrangeCrush: Kind of overrated, but he's still cool

Cybat: I wouldn't be surprised if approximately 90% of people had this on their GSC in-game team at some point.

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

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

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Mareep-Flaaffy-Ampharos
Male: Fabio
Female: Lindana

Suor: Dropped some 5 spots because of Mega Ampharos being awful.

Preston: A very good, dependable Electric type. Why did Jasmine in Olivine City have an Ampharos if she specializes in Steel-typed Pokémon anyway?

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

Magmortar: Not very fast, but has some nice bulk, and if it hits you it hits you really ****ing hard. And its hair in its Mega Evolution is FABULOUS.

Ermine: Pretty cool poke. Just a bit overrated in my opinion.

Starfox: While it didn’t affect its ranking at all, I just want to state that Mega Ampharos looks supremely dumb.

Goa: Its limps look like it would be better and thunder slapping than thunder punching, but its cool anyways.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Larvitar-Pupitar-Tyranitar

Male: Silver (no longer used), Evice
Female: Zilla

Flubbin: Everything about Tyranitar just clicks with me. Scary, badass rock monster design? Check. Awesome typing? Yup. Incredibly varied movepool? You betcha. I thought it was such an accomplishment when I managed to train my little Larvitar into an awesome Tyranitar, and he never left my party after that. Tyranitar is my favorite Pokemon, and I don’t see that ever changing, really.

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

Magmortar: Evil. Destructive. Unpredictable. Tanky. Mega-Evolves to be even tankier. May as well be a kaiju. Amazing.

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

Arti: Tyranitar is pretty cool. Sand Stream always annoyed me though.

Starfox: Awesome design, powerful and fun to use, killer ability… I only wish it was possible to obtain him before the game was essentially over.

Wickle: Godzilla! The latest movie sold me putting flamethrower on Tyranitar permanently. He was also the first Poke to change the weather on appearance, I like that.

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

CasanovaZelos: Nice contrast to Dragonite. This dinosaur isn't here for any hugs.

Raka: It's hard and doesn’t afraid of nething. But it's also pretty boring design wise. Avocado green?

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

Cybat: A huge improvement over Dragonite. It still has some weight issues of its own but at least looks threatening. And unique type combos are fun.

Brayze: My favourite part of him is the weird bud on the end of his tail, high times tyranitar

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

Anagram: It was already good, did it really need sand stream? Ugh.

OrangeCrush: Sand Stream Tyranitar + Shedinja is the ultimate combo

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

Preston: WHY DO USERS LIKE XUXON AND ANAGRAM LIKE ELECTRODE SO MUCH? GODDAMNIT!!! I DON'T LIKE ELECTRODE BECAUSE IN POKEMON SNAP YOU HAD TO BLOW UP AN ELECTRODE TO GET TO THE VOLCANO LEVEL. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU ANAGRAM!!! WHY!?!?!?!?!? OCTOBER 22, 2014 IS CAPS LOCK DAY!!! I'M SICK OF YOU PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! MAN!!!

I HATED HOW TYRANITAR WAS A TYRANT AND BULLY TO JESSIE AND JAMES IN THE "A POACHED EGO" EPISODE AND JESSE, JAMES, WEEZING AND ARBOK LOST THEIR LAST BATTLE TOGETHER TO SOME DOUCHEBAG AND HIS TYRANITAR. YOU SUCK TYRANITAR. I SHOULD OF HAD YOU IN THE BOTTOM 20. MAN!!!!!!!

Paratroopa: fat and dumb and ugly and I just really sort of hate him. seriously though his silhouette is just so awkward and fat

<3 TOTODILE <3

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

<3 Totodile every day 24/7 <3

OrangeCrush: BROtodile

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

Stifled: Toto’s later forms are rather hideous, but Toto himself is adorable.

Ermine: Dancing Totodile = The best.

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

Wickle: My little buddy mini-crocodile. Ash's Totodile has to be my second fave of all his Pokemon.

Suor: TOTOTOTOTOTOODILE TOTODILLLEEEEEE DILE TOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTODILE!!!

Like, god bless the anime for Ash's Totodile being the coolest thing ever after Ash's Squirtle.

Raka: Did you know? Toto is a manufacturing company that makes toilets.

CasanovaZelos: Probably my favorite post-Gen I stage 1 starter.

Paratroopa: so they made one of the starters a tap-dancing crocodile, and people think gen 2's starters are the WORST?

Brayze: He’s got ridges down his back, and a long crooked tail, he’s trying all the time just to stay out of jail

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

Magmortar: Fun little crocodile! Yeah, that’s about it. Squirtle is probably better.

Natwaf: The superior NFE Trash gator/dile. It just looks so eager.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Totodile-Croconaw-Feraligatr
Both Genders: Sobek

Anagram: Ranked this high solely because the anime version has Donald Duck’s voice actor. I think. If it doesn’t, the VA is clearly imitating Donald Duck.

Cybat: Didn't watch the anime when this guy was on it, but he's pretty cool. Shame about his evolutions.

Eddv: Its neat. This line started off its best.

Goa: Probably my least favorite water starter.

Karo: I want one of these as a pet so I can stroke it as it sits on my lap while I hatch evil plots.

CasanovaZelos: Design-wise my favorite Eeveelution.

KBM: One of my favorite Eeveelutions. Eeveelution + Psychic is already an instant victory, to my tastes – then add on its classically beautiful, very feline design, and you've got a winner. The only reason I've never used it in-game is because I rarely have the patience for Pokemon that I don't know exactly when they're going to level up.

Arti: The hero of Pokemon Colosseum. Its darker counterpart played a more subdued role.

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

Ecks: Cool design, one of the best Eeveelutions. You could say it's… overshadowed by Umbreon.

Stifled: While I don’t like being told what part of the day to evolve Eevee, I still rather like Gen 2’s Eeveelutions. Espeon’s special attack is ridiculous.

Logicblade: It's so pretty. :3 I just want to keep it and it's dark brother as pets. I'd name then Yin and Sin.

Raka: It's literally a cat someone painted purple…someone wash this thing out of its misery.

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

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

Brayze: Do psychic types even do psychic things? Mostly they just seem to be magic and purple. Thankfully I like both those things

Sanity: One of the best Eevees. Looks more cat like than fox. Plus Psychic is the coolest type.

Natwaf: Fast and hits HARD. I actually like this Eeveelution. Looks sleek and mystical to boot.

Anagram: Only a little less overrated than Umbreon.

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

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

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

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

Paratroopa: I know it's ranked top 5 and all, but sorry, I just think it's a boring cat

That aside, Lugia’s such a badass legendary. I love its design despite the wing-hands, because it just feels like it embodies what a legendary Pokemon should be. It’s got a nice range of attacks to use, including Aeroblast, which 9-year-old me thought was the coolest attack ever. Lots of nostalgia and fond memories with him, plus… I mean he’s just awesome.

CasanovaZelos: Probably my favorite legendary after Mewtwo. As beautiful as it is intimidating.

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

Anagram: It’s a psychic bird with fist wings. You’d think that a bird with fists would be some kind of physical fighter, but nope!

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

Preston: Dude look at this color. I never did finish G/S/C. Because of the internal battery failure in the cartridge so I never caught Lugia. But Lugia is amazing.

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

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

Drak: The sole reason I got Pokemon Silver instead of Gold. Also, totally a baby pokemon.

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

Natwaf's Nicknames:

Lugia
No Gender: Greevil

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

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

OrangeCrush: AEROBLAST!!!!1!!

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

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

Magmortar: The Great Wall. Thing does. Not. Die. And it is glorious. Its wings always looks liked gigantic hands to me.

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

Arti: AEROBLAST

Raka: The best legendary of the generation for sure. Sleek, aerodynamic, with a maximum capacity of 10 Pokemon trainers. Lugia© is the perfect vehicle for you and you family.

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

Paratroopa: more like loogie, uh

Brayze: Whatever

Karo: Its wings are f***ing arms. Why are its wings f***ing arms! It is disturbing and hideous.

Eddv: I really don’t like the gen 2 legends

OrangeCrush: He's Crystal's mascot, a beast in battle, beautiful, and his name looks like 'suicide'
Anagram: This was always obviously the best Gen 2 legendary. It’s at least a top five legendary overall. Just a really fantastic design, and unlike Articuno, it’s actually usable. I will admit, however, that I pronounced “Soo-eh-cyune” for over a decade before I heard its name spoken in the anime.

Wickle: My first shiny caught. A simple opinion, but due to it being ice-type, which has steadily become my favorite Pokemon type, it has its place. (oh and caught him in HG, so I went a LOOOOONG while without any shinies).

Gen: Every pokémon in my top ten or so for this generation required careful deliberation to determine my exact placement- all except my #1. There was never any doubt for me as to who was gonna take the top Generation II spot. It was decided FOR me way back in 4th grade (cue long digression [apologies in advance]). I was the first person I knew to get my hands on Pokémon Crystal, as per the recommendation of my then best friend, a pokéfanatic. Me, I was less than enthused to break into either series. I thought the show a bit childish and I had already missed most of the first season so why should I care right? But after being told that didn't matter and that Johto was literally a new start (in a whole new place with a brand new attitude) I relented and started watching the show. I had thought the fad had passed me by but boy was I wrong! And so began my journey into this new world. Anyway back to Crystal. As I said I was the first to get my hands on this version, which meant I was the first person with wiggling sprites and this intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ6cUkgmu4E

Man that is STILL pretty cool! And having that coolness made me the coolest kid at the lunch table and on bus rides home for a while. That's only a small part of the reason I love Suicune though. Without making this ridiculously long writeup even longer I'll sum it up as thus: so many pokémon CLAIM to be "Legendary" but thanks to overabundance and dilution very few of them carry that FEEL anymore. Legendary Beasts roam amongst the grass like common pocket monsters and you must chase them down the map after discovering their pattern, but in Crystal one such Beast awaits you at the top of a tower like a boss. It never runs. It never Roars. It wants a fair fight. Despite not being the final battle of the game by any stretch it has a very final boss-esque feel to it, accentuated by its own unique theme:[http:// https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGsTdadDYV4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGsTdadDYV4] .

I could talk even more about this, but I'll leave it on this note: if there's one single thing earlier generations did right it's Legendary pokémon.

MSG: When playing through Heart Gold, I caught a bunch of stuff and didn't give much thought to anything I was doing. Sure I had all the legendaries, but I'm typically against using them when going through the single-player. It's easy enough as it is.

Somewhere around that time, however, I got into raising the best legit Pokemon I could catch and breed. Reading into some of the tier lists, I found out that Suicune was basically the only legendary from Gen 2 worth anything, so I took mine to the potential-reading dude and see what was up.
"It has outstanding potential.

Furthermore, its best quality is its Defense. Its Special Attack is also great. They can't be better."
.... Ya don't say? Turns out it had perfect IV's in those two, a 30 in HP, a 27 in Speed, a 26 in Special Defense, and a who gives a f*ck in Attack. I believed I had myself a winner. And I was most definitely right. This thing absolutely wrecked the Battle Frontier pretty much single-handedly. It was just one of those situations where something magical came about by pure happenstance.

Starfox: Probably the closest thing to a wolf Pokemon we’re ever going to get at this rate, because Manectric doesn’t count. Good thing it’s an awesome one, then. From its design to using it in battle, there aren’t many better for me.

CasanovaZelos: By far the best of the legendary beasts. A slick design.

Suor: Raikou, this is how a mane is done. Bow to the beautiful and majestic incarnation of the Northern Winds.

Natwaf: My favorite of the Legendary Dogs/Cats/Gerbils/Beasts. I've used a Crocune or two to great success, and despite it's lack of STABs, it still has a place in my post-game HG team. And Water is always a great STAB to have.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:

Suicune
No Gender: Eusine

Arti: The best of the three legendary beasts.

Logicblade: My favourite of the dogs, it just looks so mysterious, and evokes a real sense of wonder. Fun fact, I named my first Suicune Misty. Entei was Ash and Raikou was Brock. >_>

Goa: The best designed of the trio and a shoo in for being Crystal's mascot.

Stifled: Similar to Articuno, this one seems to be the overwhelming favorite of the trio. Suicune is pretty great, but once again the favorite happens to be the bottom of my bunch.

Preseton: DUDE LOOK AT THIS COLOR.

Brayze: Is this seriously pronounced ‘swee coon’?

Magmortar: CROCUNE HAS NO WEAK

Cybat: Roaming legendary hate can only keep this off the list for so long. It is the best design of the three by far and rightfully was the one to star in the spinoff.

Raka: Best of the legendary gerbils. So cool and pure.

KBM: I've always thought Suicune should be an Ice type instead of Water. That would have made it WAY better.

Paratroopa: fancy, looks like it could be a model in a shampoo ad

Eddv: I really don’t like the gen 2 legends - also this was an annoying thing to catch and deserves death.

MSG: When I first learned that Scyther was given an evolution, I was kinda underwhelmed. That was a sorta random choice, I wondered to myself, and decided to check it out. The moment I saw it, I knew it was gonna be something special. The typing back then was pretty ridiculous, given the lackluster viable fire-types at the time, and the stats were pretty great, too. And it's still perfectly viable today, with the perfect moves available for its interesting ability, Technician. Let's be honest, if you come out of Gen 2 with a chance against the rest of 'em, you gotta be doin' something right.

Natwaf: http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/vp/image/1368/25/1368255402116.png Look at that face. So hapy. Ahh yes, Scizor's story. At first an unwanted and uneeded Scyther evo (lol Metal Wing), it slowly obtained the tools it needed to be… well, overused by everybody. Technician + Bullet Punch is VERY scary, especially coming off it's ATK stat. Part of my Mono-Steel team, and a very strong member. The priority is especially useful in areas and against trainers who I know will use Priority attacks as well. And it looks better than Scyther too. COME AT ME BRO (and sis)! It's Mega also provides it with another option, though I will always love the original.

Natwaf’s Nicknames:
Scyther-Scizor

Male: Bugsy
Female: Susan

Goa: Proves that it is possible to improve even already good Gen I Pokemon.

Anagram: There are a lot of things I could tell you about Scizor, but honestly, the thing that stands out most to me is its appearance in Melee. I had difficulty avoiding it, and that line “SEE-ZORR” is burned into my mind as a result.

Cybat: Scyther is better, but this guy is still pretty great. I like the concept of an evolution just rearranging stats instead of just increasing them.

Flubbin: I think Scyther and Scizor are unique in the sense that they’re one of the only lines where they both have radically different designs, but they are both uniquely excellent. Scizor’s sleek design and coloration has always made him a favorite of mine. Actually, I think he’s my brother’s #1 Pokemon too.

CasanovaZelos: Just a beast all around. Intimidating design matched with fantastic viability.

Bane: Let’s take a Pokemon who has blades on his arms and just add a metal suit, effectively making it Iron Bug. It works and is awesome, too bad is typing isn’t great but design-wise he looks so cool.

Ecks: A slight downgrade from Scyther, but still a cool, sleek design.

Stifled: I used to hate this thing. Nothing irritates me more than taking a Pokemon and giving it new paint job or adding armor and being like ‘zomg it’s new!’. But I’ve come to appreciate it lately. Scyther is still better though.

Brayze: Scizor is one of the rare ‘cool’ pokemon that I actually like, what have I become.

Raka: Good. It's like a car but it's really not because it's a Pokemon. <3 Otomotives

Preston: Beast of a Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Scizor dishes out severe damage once it makes contact with one of your opponents and only 1-2 hits are more than enough to KO anyone off the stage.

Magmortar: Steeling (uhuhuhuhuhuhuh) Heracross’s spot as top bug in battle isn’t the easiest thing, but Scizor did. But really. It has scissors for arms. Do you expect to top that very easily?!

Paratroopa: he's a little too cool and useful for my tastes quite frankly, come back and talk to me when you have like 300 base stats and a duck bill

Suor: Does anyone remember the awkward and embarassing moment in GSC when Scyther was almost more viable than Scizor because the latter is slow as f***? Before Technician and Bullet Punch shenanigans were a thing. I miss those days.

KBM: Scyther is WAY better. Not that Scizor's bad, per se, and I do like him, but he does kind of ruin the Scyther mojo for me. (Also I refuse to admit that this is a bug line, because I am, indeed, not a fan of bugs.)

Wickle: His scythes turned into pooper scoopers and fire kills him twice as fast now. That is all.

Gen: Full disclosure, I did not like this pokémon one bit until Mega evos became a thing. DA CLAMPS! I just... I dunno I like Scyther better- a LOT better.

Drak: this guy ruined scyther. not cool. probably the second biggest evolution downgrade (after dragonair -> dragonite).

Ecks: Best Eeveelution. I like its simple design and color scheme. Has taken a hit with the games becoming more offensive, but I still like my tanks.

Preston: For whatever reason? I thought it was really cool that Espeon and Umbreon could learn Moonlight. Yeah yeah it was basically a poor man's version of Recover but...oh never mind. Was Moonlight a technique that was ever used by any other important Pokemon besides those two? It's like Game Freak promptly forgot about the move after G/S/C. Anyways I love Umbreon. I have nothing else to say here.

Cybat: I always thought it was funny how the Dark Eevee was a tank, given what the dark type was originally supposed to mean. But hey, well designed. Its shiny form is very cool.

Bane: Definitely my favorite Eeveelution, it’s as perfect of a design as you can get for a Dark-type Eevee. Soo good looking.

CasanovaZelos: The best way to introduce a new type is creating a badass Pokemon to go along with it.
OrangeCrush: Colosseum helped him out a lot

Suor: Along with Vaporeon, easily the best design in the whole Eevee line. The moon theme, Dark typing and tanky stats are also a plus for me.

Logicblade: I couldn't decide which eeve-eon I liked more, but Umbreon has the novelty of being a dark type, which I think they really nailed in Gen 2 so that got the slight edge for me.

Raka: Whoever in Game Freaks named it 'Blacky' should be given a medal. Hilarious name.

Eddv: My 2nd favorite eeveelution and the most archetypal dark type.

Gen: I like my moon baby more than my sun baby. Perhaps it helps that my first Eevee evolved at night. Also I played blind my first time around so I wasn't even expecting it. It was pretty darn cool. If ever there were a reason I happened upon a shiny Eevee evolving it into an Umbreon would be priority numero uno. Black and neon blue kill me now!

Stifled: I never use this one in battle because of 1poor attack stats. Its defenses are pretty nice though, to its credit. And it’s hella cute.

Sanity: A cool Eevee evolution. I like dark types.

Goa: It was cool starting with Espeon/Umbreon in Pokemon Colosseum.

Magmortar: Moondog is a nice tank, really good in Colosseum and XD. I wish it was better at fighting things though.

Anagram: Not the most overrated eeveelution, but it’s up there.

Brayze: More like emobreon lol just kidding I like umbreon he has rings on him that glow

KBM: I like him for being the only pure Dark-type Pokémon in Generation 2 (a type that I find is seriously under-developed), but apart from that, he doesn't do TOO much for me; Espeon is much better. I can't help but feel he'd look a lot better without the weird circles on his forehead and legs.

Paratroopa: probably won the whole thing, which means #50 is perfectly fitting

Natwaf: Ehh Stallmon. I like how sleek it is though.

Logicblade: Gen two hit it out of the park with their dark types. Gotta love the style this dog has. Halloween colours, the bone motif, it's sooo cool.

KBM: Yes. All the yes. One of my favorite Pokémon of not one, but TWO of my favorite types. It's unbelievably cool for all the same reasons that Houndour is, and since Houndour relied on its badassery rather than any cuteness, this is one of the few Pokés that ONLY gain something from evolving. I love this guy.

Cybat: They really nailed exactly what they were going for with this design. Sadly he's not really that great in battle, but come on, look at it.

Magmortar: This hound of Hell is indeed something of doom. For a long time, my favorite Pokemon of this gen, and still being #2 is quite the achievement. It’s menacing and more than capable of a lot of destruction.

Starfox: It’s a badass dog with a really well executed design combining my two favorite types into one. What isn’t to love? My only wish is that it appeared earlier in the game so that I could have actually used it. Even its mega was really awesome, which is something that can only be said for a few.

Sanity: Whaaat? I have a dog at #3? Houndoom is the supreme badass Pokemon dog. Dogs are great when they are derpy or when they are evil. A demon dog does the job. His design is just so f***ing cool. There is nothing I'd change about it.

Arti: I think I would like Houndoom even more if I actually used one once! I do like the design and typing but never actually bothered.

Anagram: You ever wonder what it is with dogs that make them so associated with Hell imagery? I know about Cerberus, but surely the Ancient Greeks derived the idea from somewhere, too. You’d think cats would be the Hell ones, they’re creepy as ****, but apparently not!

Gen: Generation II introduced Dark types because GF knew it had messed up by not giving Psychic types a hard counter (not only did Ghost type have no decent moves in Gen I, but the only three were half Poison and thus neutralized any advantage they might have possessed). When creating a brand new type you kind of have to BRING IT or people are gonna be pissed. Well imo GF did indeed bring it with Dark. The Gen II Dark type selection is like the all star A List cast to Steel type's middle-aged reality show hopefuls still trying to break into the industry. Houndoom is pretty much everything you can hope for in a new type. Too bad he doesn't show up until the game is over. Whoops. Speaking of missed opportunities that Mega evolution could have been a Cerberus or a REAL hellhound. I mean I like what we got (a lot actually) but it could have been so much better.

Natwaf: I FINALLY got to use one in X, and in-game too! Yay! Honestly, the lack of special moves still hurts it, but I freakin' love it's design. Dat horn, dat tail. Best dog.

Goa: I'm guessing one of the nine hells of the Pokemon world is filled with these guys cooking and crunching on you. I bet its for those Marrowack murderers.

Eddv: Houndoom is the most bad ass hell hound

CasanovaZelos: Hellhounds are always pretty cool.

Raka: Damn, I don't usually like emo Pokemon, but Houndoom is just too cool not not like.

Stifled: I feel like I should like this Pokemon more than I do. It’s a fire type. It looks cool. But something about it…I dunno. Maybe it’s too evil looking? I like my doggies to look cute.

Preston: Shakespeare once said. "There's not a note of mine that's worth the noting." Anyways? This is my Houndoom write-up. I guess it's okay but if there's other Fire types I want to catch instead like Vulpix? I'm not going to waste my time with Houndour.

Brayze: Houndoom is a pretty tryhard pokemon, he’s got like skulls and horns, he looks like something out of warhammer 40k which is the tryhardest thing ever, no matter how hard they try they still can’t talk to girls

Paratroopa: I swear to god, I didn't put him at 66 on purpose, I am NOT that f***ing corny
