5th Gen Opinion on Water pokemon this gen

[Skapocalypse]

Im normally not a big fan of Water pokemon, but this generation has shown some pretty cool Water Types.

Im a big Fan of Basculin, because they remind me of menacing man-eating beta fish.

Im also a Fan of Jellicent and Alomomoma

They're both so cute c:

Im not really a fan of Seismitoad, or Tortouga. The toad makes me think of my old english teacher, and Tortouga is just too slow for my taste.

Simipour is pretty cool also. I like the Dreadlocks that it has going on.

Also, What do you guys think of the event pokemon Keldeo? A very interesting typing.

Kinda disappointed that there aren't as many, but quality over quantity I guess!

I think Jellicent is the ugliest thing ever -.-

Simpour is pretty cute, but that's about it :| Basculin is hideous, too.

How many Water Pokemon were introduced this season? Usually they're the dominant type lol

 

[Skapocalypse]

I count 18 (Although most of them are evolved forms)

 

[Pwnyta Jockey]

Swanna is awesome. I recommend raising one in-game at least.

Basculin should have Adaptability and Soak to reduce opposing STAB moves. Crunch, Waterfall, Surf, Scald, return. Good guy, even the one from trade.

Water monkey. Awesome. With Acrobatics, Work Up, Grass Knot.

**
Personally use little else of the other waters.

I usually love fire, always with the fire, but i decided to change it up with my starter so I picked oshawott!

 

[solarowl]

I like Basculin, Swanna is really good, I like Jellicent, especially because of its stats. There were some pretty cool water types this Gen, actually. Especially Oshawott. :D

 

[Eurydice]

i havent really found any that i absolutly love. the starter is my 2nd favorite starter of the gen. i like panpour but not its evo, those are the only 2 water types in this gen that i like the others are eh.

You know, when I really look at it, I have to say Unova's water types are much more unique in my opinion. At the same time however, I feel underwhlemed with the total amount.Then again, I think it's because there's not a lot of water routes/areas, and past regions provided much higher groups of water types to use because of these areas - I don't know, just another opinion.

 

[Zenfyre]

This generation has some Water types I like, and only a few that I don't care for, so overall good. I'm just going off of looks though, not how they battle. Also male Jellicent makes me think of the Pringles guy...

 

[j2y8n2x]

i LOVE Jellicent!
It saves me from difficult situations in the Battle Subway!
It's such a nice tank!

 

[Haza]

I honestly dont like any of them except for Jellicent... but I've not found one yet! ~_~

:O

I love Jellicent. It's got an awesome typing (water/ghost :)), and the male has a moustache. :D The female is a bit meh, but the male one is cool. :D

 

[shengar]

So far, I don't find any water type pokemon to my liking except Samurott and Carracosta look wise.

 

[Nateon]

I don't feel there was much choice in gen 5 for water, with my jap black i started with oshawott so i had no trouble, but for eng white i had snivy and other than getting panpour, i noticed there wasn't a lot of choice as i went through. I've just ended up with my Crimgan knowing Surf

 

[Opposite Day]

I sort of like all of them. Especially Frillish/Jellycent, however it has taken me FOREVER to hatch a decent one.. every single one I hatch either has a -spa/sdef nature or cursed body, which annoys me greatly haha.

EDIT: E.g, Frillish - #592 (Jolly): 31 / 0 - 5 / 27 / 30 / 30 / 21 -25 hnnng dear arceus why

 

[Syphr]

The toad makes me think of my old english teacher

O,o





I love almost all of the new water Pokemon too but they approach they're taking to designing them is almost Digimon-like

 

[Tox]

I always thought there were too many water-types but now I can see why. There aren't many choices this time and I'm not too keen on any of them. I think Dewott and Simipour are okay but I don't want to use either of them. I might choose Swanna since I don't really like any flying-types either but I'm starting to get sick of looking at it.

I know, right? Mine has Cursed Body, and I much prefer Water Absorb. But it has a decent nature, so it's not too bad. ^^'

 

[lamby101]

If I didn't pick Oshawott as a starter I definately would have raised a Jellicent. I don't know why but I just seemed to take quite a liking to it.

 

[MAizHxC]

I like Seismitoad. It reminds me of a Swampert which I always ran in previous games. Jellicent doesnt appeal to me. It seems weaker than a Seismitoad, but im not sure of it.
