    What Paras unpopular? I loved using Paras 3 generations ago, now it's not so useful. I love the pink normals, cleffa etc....

    I never really liked Zubat but I decided to put it in my team for Soul Silver since it has a decent move pool in GenIV, Wing Attack at lvl 17. Now with ZenHeadbutt it's one of my powerhouses, yes I don't have a very strong in-game team.

    I don't know what all the unpopulars are, but here goes...

    I like Muk a lot. Unfortunately, I haven't used it a lot since way back. But I really like it. I love Crobat, it's the Pokemon I've used the most of any. It's extremely powerful for the league run. Zubat is a slow starter though. And I quite like a lot of the Gen I evos in Gen IV.

    The only unpopular Pokemon I like is Jynx.
    I have one in FireRed and it has helped me beat the Elite Four and catch the legends.

    I think Volbeat and Illumise are stupider than Paras, personally.

    I like Dunsparce. A lot, actually. Serene Grace STAB Body Slam is pretty boss when you have a 60% chance to paralyze. From there, setup 60% flinch rate Rock Slides and nag your opponent to death. Roost when necessary.

    I quite like many unpopular Pokemon, such as Gardevoir, who is my personal favourite, yet is an NU. Or a UU, I haven't checked in a while.

    There are 493 pokemon so far. So obviously, there are unpopular ones. SOme examples seem to be Paras, Jynx, Swalot, Mamoswine, Muk, Fearow, but the list could go on.

    So, do any of you like the pokemon in the shadows? The ones they never seem to mention?

    Also, Medicham ,despite being unpopular, can be really dangerous, because of its ability, which doubles the attack stat.

    I tend to like a lot of unpopular Pokemon. I especially like Dunsparce and Relicanth, along with Shiftry and Rhyperior.

    I've always liked Stantler and Farfecth'd. Oh and Slaking which all my friends seemed to hate when it was on my Ruby team

    I adore most pokemon. But... I.... HATE Carnevine! What were they thinking? Its completey pointless? Its just an ugly, weak Victreebell. It shows no orginality and dosn't even have an evo line.

    Anyone agree?

    Many people I have seen, show no love towards Tentacruel. Man Tentacruel is awesome, especially in Wi-Fi battles.

    Persian seems a bit underrated, but I still have it on as many teams as I can. I don't choose favorites based on popularity, so my teams are usually a mix of popular and unpopular Pokemon.

    Fearow is a candidate for my dream team man, I love the guy. I'm using Mantine on my heartgold right now, and he was a great asset in my colosseum game. Then there's Rattata, Chatot, Persian, Farfetch'd, Stantler, and Ariados. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I do like a lot of 'unpopular' pokemon. =)

    Personally, I really like Paras, and Parasect, even if I DO hate Bidoof.

    I also, really like Furret and Ninetales, who seem to fly under the radar pretty often.

    Oh, and one more thing. NEVER DISS' THE KARP!! IT ROCKS!

    YOU KNOW IT!!!!

    Out of the 493 I enjoy Goldeen, Caterpie (for my Magikarps ^_^), and Sableye. Paras is also a cool one, I mean C'MON it's half fungus, half crab/bug/thing!

    Yeah, but Paras was voted the least popular out of all 493! Lower than BI-freaking-DOOF and MAGI-Freaking-KARP!

    Really? I used a Paras once a long time ago, I liked it a lot. I can think of some Pokemon well deserving of that title, but Paras isn't one of them.

    No matter what anyone says I will always love Gulpin and Swalot! I will never, ever understand why people ignore these two, they're great!

    Tangrowth is another Pokemon who I think gets a lot of undeserved Hatered. Tangrowth is by no means weak and I love it's quirkiness.

    I'm also a big fan of some overlooked Pokemon like Kecleon and Tropius.

    Muk? I always liked it, even though it hasn't really been on a team in quite a long while...
    Fearow? Used it a lot as a flying type in the older gen's.. Got replaced by Flygon for me, but I still like Spearow/Fearow in early game..
