Yup, that's right! Which is your favourite of those? :D Mine's Roserade, love it <3



YES HAHA. I agree with this completely! I think its the eyes D: And lips. xD But it can be cute!



Let's have a new topic and trivia...

New topic: 'Which is your favourite of the mono-poison type 'blob' families?'

Basically this includes Grimer/Muk, Gulpin/Swalot and Trubbish/Garbodor ^^ Personally my favourites and Grimer & Muk because Grimer is such an awesome Pokemon in almost every way, and then Muk makes up for Grimer's weaknesses by being kick-ass good in battle! Garbodor is also quite a strong contender for me, but its stats and moves just aren't good enough. D:

Definately gulpin or swalot, simply because of their personalties. Muk too is yes great in battle, since Koga's in HG gave me some trouble, even my Level 70 typhlosion's eruption couldn't get rid of it one turn. :3 Aaand, its ability to use minimise was soo annoying yet quite sneaky.

This I agree with! What makes you think this though? ^^ What do you like about them as opposed to say, Trubbish & Garbodor?

New topic: 'Which Poison Pokemon do you find cutest?'

For me it's Foongus! <3



Just look at how cute the little darling is! Its little smile and cute eyes and simple tiny design make it nyaahhhh! <3

Now, I would love to be a little original here and choose something like Garbodor, but I honestly don't like it one single bit. Imo the design shows that Gamefreak is running out of ideas, because a Pokémon based on trash isn't exactly the greatest idea they've had up till now.

I'm more neutral towards Gulpin and Swalot, as I find their design ok. It's not truly horrific like some other Pokémon, but it's not super good either, but I never really got to know them while playing the games, so I don't really have any opinions on them, and I don't know how good they actually are in battle. I find their concept pretty original though, so that's one of the probs they get from me.

Moving on to my actual favourites of the bunch, and the reason why I'm NOT being original, is Grimer and Muk. I've already pretty much made it clear in several of my previous posts, that I am indeed a lover of the original 151, and that is also one of the main reasons that I like Grimer and Muk. The reason that I like them is basically just, that they're the ones I've know for the longest time and the ones that I know the most about. Their desgins were pretty unique back in the days, though they're not really anything special when compared to all the other new Pokémon, but I still love them just as much.

[Curious.]

I find trubbish to be a cutie. I love it's little teethy expression, although cute is not somethig I could say about garbador. :x

[miltankRancher]

Nicely said Olli. I would have to agree with you that Garbodor's concept is not truly the best idea EVER.

On topic:

I have quite a soft spot for Budew's design actually. It looks like asian because of its eyes, and that smile is so cute.

[Avishka]

Which Poison Pokemon do you find cutest?
Foongus,budew and Venonat

Spoiler:

[miltankRancher]

i knew it. Budew is too cute. He will be the winner.

venonat creeps me out, honestly. Especially with his weird eyes and such.

[Curious.]

Nooo; Venonat is a cutie, especially when it evolves. It can pretty annoying especially with it's status moves + double team + psychic.

Foongus is indeed cute no question about that, but Venonat is cuter imo. I've always thought that Venonat was cute, ever since I first saw it back in the original games. I guess part of the reason is its round, fluffy body, but the eyes play the biggest role. It may not have any pupils, but I still find them extremely cute. But I'm just confused with its eyes, because even though they look a bit sad, I just can't really see it as a sad Pokémon :|

Venomoth is annoying, yeah. But it still creeps me out. Its a violet bug. And it has weird wings, and such.

And venonat's stare looks like it could suck out your soul.

Name: d4rka8isz
Partner Pokemon: Roserade
Reason for joining: Poison type Pokemon intrigue me deeply. My favorite aspect of them is how they can poison opponents with almost any move. I may not find them as useful as say the water type in battles, but they still are one of my favorite types.

I think bulbasaur is the cutest.

Spoiler:

Too cute!

[miltankRancher]

hi there d4rka8isz! welcome to the club!

I may not quite agree with you in saying that Poison type is not as useful as water types. each type has their won niche to fill in, and it is like saying that a hammer is not as useful as a wrench. Water types are good at what they do, mostly sweeping and such, but poison types, who specializes in status ailments, confusions, and such, and they do well in it.

I will be posting up a new topic tomorrow. I will let these topic slide down first. Feel free to defend.

as for the quiz, Scolipede wins with a 200 kg weight.

a userbar! it is jerky so sorry. couldn't fix it anymore. and i could not find appropriate gen V pics, so sorry. Anyway, FYI, this is a hundred frames with each frame at 500 ms.

You're right on the question! And great new user bar, love it! It has been added to the front page. ^^

New topic: 'Which Pokemon do you think should be Poison type that aren't?'

[miltankRancher]

thank you alex!

On topic: I think cradily should be poison type instead of rock type. He looks like he will ooze out poison one way or the other.

[Curious.]

Yeeah, but I think its rock typing is approproiate since it came from a fossil..

[d4rka8isz]

Gligar and Gliscor definitely should be poison types. They're scorpions after all.

[ikaroschase]

^ i totally agree with d4rka8isz \(OuO)/
plus, gligar's purple which is kind of stereotypical for a poison type.

Piggying off these two.

Yeah, I agree; never really though about that though good observations.

I always though carnivine should be poision, dunno, since it does live in swamps which can contain poison if polluted.

/now I'm getting too technical. =p

[AquaFin]

I've always had a feeling that Beedrill should of been poison because its basically injecting poison in through its stinger causing overwhelming pain.

i don't know if this is sarcasm or not, but Beedrill is a poison type aqua. just to let you know.

I forgot about the gli-family! I agree with your arguments. LOL.

[AquaFin]

Oh wow really I always thought it was like a Bug flying xD, I need to learn types alot better.

[miltankRancher]

i am sure you need to. LOL.

and thanks for using the userbar I made.

[AlexOzzyCake]

Hmm, Gligar and Gliscor is an interesting one... But I personally like their typing as it is ^^ I think the Flying/Ground typing defines it more than a Flying/Poison or Ground/Poison typing would. :3 Plus it doesn't learn many Poison moves from memory? I think Sandshrew could do with a Poison typing, especially considering some of its staple moves include Poison Jab :3 New topic!

New topic: 'Which Poison type do you find scariest?'

I think Drapion!

Spoiler:

[miltankRancher]

I agree with you Alex. Drapion looks pretty scary from my point of view, especially with its coloring and its fangs and such. Plus, it is so big.
