Types of pokemon weekly poll #2: Water Pokemon

What's your favorite Water Pokemon? Why?

Kingdra because of it's type combination and overall design. Plus it was the first Dragon type outside of the Dragonite evo line.

What's your least favorite water pokemon? Why?

Magicrap. I cannot honestly describe how the fanbase says it is the BEST POKEMON EVA!!!!111.

How well do you like the Water Pokemon?

It's one of the better types.

Why do you or don't you like the water pokemon?

Magicrap.

If pokemon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train water pokemon?

I would train them near the beach or a river. Quite handy how I live by the sea in real life.

What's your favourite Water Pokemon? Why?
Blastoise, I always loved him since Gen 1 he is an absolute beast with those Hydro Cannons. Also you know who has a Blastoise? GARY OAK! So obviously this pokemon is pro since it is Gary starter.

What's your least favourite water pokemon? Why?
Tympole, I am just not a fan of the design. I dunno I am just not feeling it. Then there is Tentacool who is so annoying since years upon years when I Surf it is Tentacool that says "Oh hi there I think you will encounter more of me".

How well do you like the Water Pokemon?
I usually choice Fire types first, but Piplup line made me change that in Fourth Gen, and there are plenty of greats to choose from.Why do you or don't you like the water pokemon?
Maybe cause it's the most abundant type out there, and I am sick of them getting bigger and bigger. Heck there is two water Egg Groups.

If pokemon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train water pokemon?
Since water pokemon habitat is naturally water I would try and train them in a water environment i.e. Ocean, River, Lake, Pond, Pool. As far as training goes, I would try and have them swim up stream as training to approve there strength and endurance, I would have a shooting gallery like Cissy did in the Orange Islands so I could improve their accuracy.

I like Water-types. My favorite out of all the hundreds would be Vaporeon. Its just so cute. |3 My least favorite would be, I dunno, Magikarp? I haven't really had much thought on this topic tbh.

· What's your favorite Water Pokémon? Why?
Starmie, ever since I played against Misty in Red/Blue and lost my first battle ever to her Starmie using recover.

· What's your least favorite water Pokémon? Why?
Bidoof/Bibarel, they're most commonly known for being an HM slave to many people.

· How well do you like the Water Pokémon?
They're good, but I usually only have them as starters and switch them out for an ice type later on.

· Why do you or don't you like the water Pokémon?
I just enjoy having an ice type Pokémon that knows water type moves. Usually, ice type Pokémon are also water types.

· If Pokémon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train water Pokémon?
I would go to an Olympic sized swimming pool as often as I could and have them race laps around the pool.

What's your favourite Water Pokemon? Why?

Love it's design, it's so majestic. That and I love the story that it and Entei and Raikou have.

Great design, great bulk!

Another appealing design, always had a liking towards this thing. It got a great new ability in generation 5, as well as the ability to learn the new move Shell Smash. It comes a wrecking machine!

A top favorite of mine. Cool typing and great stats. The only water starter I've ever fallen in love with!
What's your least favourite water pokemon? Why?

So bad... its face is horrendous to look at. I don't know what they were thinking with this things design. Looks too human to me, too out of place compared to its evolutions. It could have been so much better had it had a more interesting face/head.
How well do you like the Water Pokemon?
I don't particularly favor them. I'd say in my decisions, they're right smack in the middle of my most favorable and least favorable.
Why do you or don't you like the water pokemon?
Generally, they're just not that appealing to me. As a typing, it takes a backseat to my favorites.
If pokemon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train water pokemon?
Taking them to the beach every day of course!

It's just Bibarel that has a second type. Bidoof is just pure Normal.

I completely agree, it is out of place in its own line, the face is just eh... They could have made a better tadpole out of it.

Oops, thanks for the correction. As you can see, I never use that Pokémon. :\

Favorite Water Pokemon: I like these mainly for their design: Swampert, Empoleon, Samurott. I also like Swampert because it's the very first starter Pokemon I used.
Least favorite Water Pokemon: Seel, Dewgong, Finneon and Lumineon. They're not very good in battle.
How well do you like the Water Pokemon?: It's one of my favorite types. In fact, it's my absolute favorite type.
Why don't you like the Water Pokemon?: See "Least Favorite Pokemon"
How I'd train Water Pokemon: Have the amphibious Water Pokemon battle in water and land.

What's your favourite Water Pokemon? Why?
All of them. The water-type is actually my second favorite type. I like all of them because to me, they all have appealing designs.
What's your least favourite water pokemon? Why?
None.
How well do you like the Water Pokemon?
Like I said, it's my second favorite type.
Why do you or don't you like the water pokemon?
It's like they can adapt to their surroundings quickly.
If pokemon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train water pokemon?
By training them in places with lots of water. Why? So when they're in a battle, they can adapt quickly.

What's your favourite Water Pokemon? Why?

Most of them I love, although in my current mood...Totodile. It's got a pretty good movepool, particularly for an un-evolved pokémon, and it looks cool, particularly in artwork. Also, it's actions make me lol a little in Hg/Ss.

What's your least favourite water pokemon? Why?

Huntail. Never owned one, looks horrendous, and isn't any good at battling either. Then again, Gorebyss scares me too, as does Clamperl. Can I just say I dislike the Clamperl family?

How well do you like the Water Pokemon?

Quite "well".

Why do you or don't you like the water pokemon?

They've got good movepools, few weaknesses, good designs, and most HMs are water-type, so they're useful out-of-battle too.

If pokemon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train water pokemon?

I wouldn't. I'm scared of most aquatic creatures, so I seriously just wouldn't go anywhere near them.

What's your favourite Water Pokemon and why?
That's a toughie. Three of my favourite Pokemon are Water-type (Lapras, Kingdra and Milotic) but I also have a soft spot for some of the 'lesser' Water-types like Lanturn. Gun to head, I'd have to say Lapras: mainly because of its design, but also because it plays so hard to get in GSC/HGSS!

What's your least favourite Water Pokemon and why?
Surskit. It almost ranks with Unown among my least favourite Pokemon ever. No real reason, I just don't care for it at all, and wouldn't be sorry if it were wiped off the face of the PokeDex.

How well do you like the Water Pokemon? Why do you or don't you like the Water Pokemon?
On the whole, they're a good type. I wouldn't say they're my favourite, but because of the sheer number of them, there are a fair few Water-type critters that I can say I like.

If Pokemon were real and you were a trainer, how would you train Water Pokemon?
I dunno... make them swim at least 10 miles a day for fitness?

What's your favourite Water Pokemon? Why?
Swampert, I love most of the water pokemon, but this guy always stood out. He is a physical powerhouse and I knew I had to put one in my team when I first saw it's Ken Sugimori art.

What's your least favourite water pokemon? Why?
Palkia, It's butt ugly and I seriously don't understand why they had to make it a water type.

How well do you like the Water Pokemon?
My favorite type, nuff said.

Why do you or don't you like the water pokemon
They can cover up their weaknesses with ground and ice moves, which the majority of water pokes can learn. Most of em look real cool too.

If pokemon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train water pokemon?
Uhm I'd go swimming with them a lot, I'd also learn them how to fight on different types of terrain, and how to use things like mud to an advantage.

What's your favourite Water Pokemon? Why?:
Cloyster! Ever since I got a Cloyster in my Pearl version, I've fallen in love. Amazing Defense, great attack, and a pretty good move pool too. It's definitely my favorite.
What's your least favourite Water Pokemon? Why?
Tentacool. It's as annoying as a Zubat in a cave. I'm sick of running into these things! :(
How well do you like the Water Pokemon?
Not my favorite type. I'm doing a Monotype challenge on my Platinum version with Water types. They're pretty useful. There are too many of them! It irks me.
Why do you or don't you like the Water Pokemon?
Pretty good designs. Not always the best moves, but they're a good type. I've just never really been in love with the type.
If Pokemon was real and you were a trainer, how would you train your water Pokemon?
At the beach, duh.
