I like all pokemon, except for 2.
Carnevine. What were they thinking? It's just an ugly, weak Victreebell wanabee! Seriously? Did the run out of ideas? We already had a Venus Flytrap pokemon. I hate Carnevine.
Darkrai. Firstly, there are too many legendaries now. Catching one isn't special anymore. The reason why Darkrai stands out as so bad is because the design could have been thought up by anyone. Yes, even I could have come up with it. It's not creative at all. Also, it's such a fanboy's wet dream.
Muaha, okay. The Bellsprout line seems to be based more off of a pitcher plant than a flytrap. Carnivine has Levitate (Read: is immune to Toxic Spikes), and has what look like teeth, which would be actually useful for something. Carney's not particularly special competitively, but it's a decent grass type. Not like Victreebel fares much better. Legendary Pokemon: They are
too special. How many legendary Pokemon are catchable in Platinum, without events (that's 9, 12 with.)? And how many wild battles do you go through over the course of the game where you don't even want to catch the Pokemon? Darkrai in particular has the most potent sleeping attack in the whole game, along with it's ability and being able to learn Dream Eater and Nightmare. It's just fun to use. And I doubt "anyone" could come up with that little number. A little voice in my head says you've never really bothered to look too deeply at the Sugimori art for that particular Pokemon. the claws, and the wisps of shadow on the forearms among other things. Furthermore, if something has a fanbase, it has to be appealing on some level, doesn't it? I would wager that it's attacks and theme lend it popularity more than it's "uncreative design".
Also, the white makes him look pretty.[/Contrary]
In other news, Granbull. *shiver* I'm not sure what they were thinking there, except that it would be funny for proper old ladies to run about with a butt-ugly pet dog...
Ah!
That's exactly what they were doing. Those women who have the scariest dog on the planet, and they treat it like some sort of do-no-wrong spoiled child! It's them! And it comes from a little puppy in a pink dress, which could give them that opinion in the first place!
Fridge Brilliance!
Uh, I'm out of Pokemon to hate. o_____o
