  • Last time, both Probopass and Barbaracle got the same amount of votes, higher than any other Pokemon nominated, so we'll vote to see who is uglier.

  • Probopass is awesome. I don't understand how it's even in the running with that other abomination. (What even IS that??)

  • Probopass, it just looks too silly for me to even take seriously with that mustache and its head. I think Barbaracle was at least original, but hey.

    I would also have to say Probopass. What ticks me off regarding its design would have to be those mustache-like bush under its nose, which look unappealing. If it weren't for those, I likely would have been able to appreciate the Pokémon more, haha. Barbaracle is also unattractive, but what makes it easier for me to accept the design is its humanoid structure, which is relatable, in a way, as we're humans.

  • Oh look- the two Pokemon that I think are the ugliest to date just happened to be tied as the ugliest Pokemon overall. I don't know if I should be excited, or feel bad for them, seeing as how everyone else seems to share this opinion as well.

    While I could pretty much copy and paste my response from the previous thread, I'm actually deciding to flip-flop here and vote for Probopass. I think both of them are equally as ugly, but seeing as how I've hated Probopass' design for longer, it gets my vote this time around.

    I physically cannot vote for either. Even though both are def silly they're bad ass in their own way.

    Hahhaha <3 These are the definitely ugliest pokémon, really. Binacle is a bit worse, Barbaracle at least has legs and makes almostsense, haha. Look at this:

    xDD their faces. Double nope there.

    But Barbaracle:

    Pretty badass determination there. I could live with this. Now, Probopass on the other hand...

  • Barbaracle is more whimsical not ugly.

    Binacle is ugly.

    Probonose is ugly, bulky, poorly designed, just bad in every way.

    Probo gets the vote for the ugliest.

  • Really, I don't think Barbaracle looks that bad. Probopass just looks so...I don't know how to describe it. Neither of them is really ugly, I suppose, but given the choice between determining which one is less appealing, I definitely have to say Probopass. I think Barbaracle looks pretty cool, honestly, and not really ugly, just, different.

    I love Barbaracle and I appreciate how it was designed. So I voted Probopass.

    I love Nosepass and over time I've grown to tolerate Probopass but I suppose I do kind of resent him for turning Nosepass into a Mario parody. I also don't think his design works as well as Barbaracle. Yes Barbaracle is ugly, but he totally owns his ugliness, he's a goose barnacle what do you expect?

    Am I the ONLY person who finds Binacle cute? Their faces remind me of those grumpy old men from the muppets.

    I feel like it should be pointed out that a character being ugly doesn't automatically make them poorly designed.

    I could not believe that the pokemon series become from something beautiful like that -

    or that -
    006.gif

    to something like this -
    476.gif

    why??

    dont make any new pokemon if there going to look like probopass , is just disturbing
    probopass is my number 1 ugliset pokemon of all time .

  • In terms of ugliness, Barbaracle gets the vote, because at least there's some who could appreciate Probopass' stache, whereas Barbaracle looks like a genetic mutation.

    Probopass is based off a moai. That itself is pretty cool, and I wouldn't really call it ugly either. It's kind of like Claydol or Bronzong, it's charming and cute in a more inorganic way (?).
    Barbacle could have been good but it just looks disgusting to me. I really dislike its concept and how they designed it.

  • Probopass wins this contest. I'm actually quite surprised, since I thought Barbaracle was the obvious favourite. It turned out to be an extremely close race (19-18), but at the end of the day, it was Probopass.

    Let's congratulate it on winning the Pokemon Ugliness Contest, and here's the Top 5:

    Haha, I didn't even see the resemblance xD They could have just... dropped the 'stache. Nosepass does the role better.


    But yay, Probopass "won"! Heracross in third place, really? Poor Mega form, haha. I think it looks cool.
