It appears this thread's title has been slightly alternated. My least favourite Pokémon was definitely Serperior. That thing disappointed the hell of me — whether it's by its design or movepool. Sad to say, but that was my least favourite starter evolution line.
Lol, I'm geussing it was a moderator.

As for the topic at hand, I really don't like Gothitelle. Or whatever it's name is. It's design dissapointed me. I've really grown fond of Golurk, though.

There were a few good ones. Most of them were terrible though on my opinion. Especially the legendaries, having one colour makes them look so dull and boring. Also I hated the name black and white, its just kinda meh, two very boring colours.

The only ones I liked were Archeops and Darmanitan, they are stupidly powerful yet underrated, especially Darmanitan, with choice band it can sweep entire teams with flare blitz.

My favorite Pokemon in Unova has to be Axew. I just love that Pokemon.

The Pokemon I hate the most in Unova has to be Zorua. I only hate it because I can't get it!

Ah, well my favourites are tied between Scraggy, Mienshao, Liepard and Zoroark. As for my least favourites, probably Zebstrika, Cryogonal and Basculin...

The Unova Pokemon I liked the most would have to be Zoroark, Mandibuzz, Serperior, Scrafty, Galvantula and Carracosta. In fact, that was the team I used. I also like the Haxorus line, mainly because of their excellent attack.

The only Unova Pokemon I don't like is Garbodor. I just really don't like its design. That wouldn't stop me from using it in battle, though.

Here's a few of my most favorites and why

Druddigon
Despite its low Speed, it's a powerful dragon to me and the first Unova region dragon I ever caught. I bredded for a fast natured one: The Druddigon I have a speed of 110 at Lv 50, being Jolly natured. I love my male shiny Druddgion in Black and my female one in White because of strong movesets.

Krookodile
When I looked up this pokemon before the game came out, I instantly wanted to get myself one of those guys so I caught it's pre-evolved form & raised it. Krookodile is also among my main team in Black. If he's against anything faster than him, his Low Sweep will slow 'em down.

Archeops
This pokemon is far by my most favorite fossil pokemon of all, ranking right next to Aerodactyl (My 1st favorite fossil pokemon). Despite the let down ability, my Archeops is fast and strong. She's basically my main aerial support for my main team.

Haxorus
This... this dragon here... is the most powerful in my main team, with her Attack going almost to 400. My Haxorus is a major threat because she can obliterate her foes easily. Even an Aggron with Sturdy or Gengar with Levitate can't withstand her Earthquake! She's the sparkling star of my main team, literally because she's a shiny Haxorus.

I don't have any least favorites...

They say never judge a book by it's cover, that can certainly be said for this Pokémon as it has great stats and can be very helpful in tough battles, not to mention it's cute!

Yeah it may not have the best stats but it certainly looks the part, it's another Cat Pokémon and that's why I love it!

Dislike

Many may disagree on this one but I just don't find it very appealing, it's strong but that's not always the best quality in a Pokémon, right?

I have only been playing the game since yesterday so I have only seen a handful of Pokemon :P I'd say my favourite so far is Sawk. So you can probably tell that my range of Pokemon to choose from isn't very high!

I love that Egyptian/Mummie Pokemon I saw earlier in this topic! What is it called? I'mm go catch it!

Least fav is Garbodor and the fire starter family (I know a lot of people have complained about this, but seriously, why another fire/fight starter!?)

My favourite generation V Pokémon is Volcarona. Volcarona has a beautiful design and is great fun to use in battle. I love how it can boost its stats with Quiver Dance and Fiery Dance. My least favourite would be Stunfisk. It looks aweful and causes DBEs.

My favorites are Mandibuzz, Cofagrigus, Carracosta, Excadrill, Lilligant, Meloetta, Genesect, the tao trio, Zoroark, Emboar, the kami trio, and Haxorus since they're fun to use, have rather nice designs, and their movepools aren't too bad either.

My least favorites are the elemental monkeys, Krookodile, Jellicent, Bisharp, Watchog, Afrobull, Conkeldurr, Durant, the musketeer trio, Keldeo, Whimsicott, and Samurott due to crappy typings and designs, horrid movepools, and are overall disappointing even to face or use.

Most favorite - Mandibuzz. I can go on for hours on how much I love this bird and its abilities as a rather decent mixed wall but I'm just gonna say I love vultures and leave it at that.

Most hated - Watchog. Oh my god I despise this piece of crap that Lenora used against me to make Whitney seem like a walk in the park in comparison to this. I really don't want to say anymore than that.

Just my 2 cents there.

My favourite is Lilligant :3 I like it's movepool for a solid status/absorb, stat/attack moveset. And it looks cool.

Least favourite... the main bird. I can't even remember it's name I avoid it that much ;_;.
