Pokemon You Don't Know Why You Never Used
 
I don't know if people will understand what I'm talking about when I post this topic, but anyway... XD

Is there a Pokemon from the first/second generation that you always wished you used as part of your party but still never have, in any game?

I'm big on fast Pokemon, electric and flying types, so I'd think I'd have used Voltorb or Doduo by now, but I haven't. I think it's because they show up too late in the game and I already have my team by then...

I also always wanted to use Misdreavus in D/P/Pt, but when I finally got Platinum you couldn't catch a Misdreavus in it. D:

Demigod October 27th, 2009 4:56 AM

Probably Slowbro. He is one of my favorite in the anime and i'm gonna use it soon (;

giradialkia October 27th, 2009 5:30 AM

Yeah...
Pidgeot.
It's the most common Flying type in Kanto/Johto based games, and I've never, ever used one. Ever. I don't generally use flying types- I only ever really used a Staraptor- in the other hands, I'd catch a low level one then box it and teach it Fly later. I want to use a Pidgeot in Hg, though.

Lickitung. I always want to try one out, but I never have for some reason. Probably because they come later in the game (for my Pokemon League team) and aren't very powerful (for competitive battling).

I never really trained a wurmple to a beautifly, but I did had a dustox once on a team, but not beautifly.

Sydian October 28th, 2009 5:41 PM

Gonna move to General Gaming since it applies to all of them.

Anyway, I've wanted to use these in-game:

Delibird
Ledian
Slowking
Kingdra
Weezing
Chimecho
Golem

I've either never used them or just used what evolves into them. In Silver, I used a Graveler, but couldn't trade for Golem, so...yeah. No Golem for me. But I've actually used most Pokemon for an in-game run. I don't know whether that's sad or not...cause it just shows how much I play the games. xD

I never used a Girafarig until a few days ago. I don't know why I always avoided them, they're not bad looking and pretty strong. My Girafarig quickly became one of the strongest Pokemon in my party. I think I'm going to use one in all my games from now on, he really proved his worth to me.
I've also never used a Mareep and I really don't know why. I would definetely use one now if I had the chance. Ampharos is pretty cool and I would train one in a heart beat if I had the chance. I plan to catch one in the beginning of Heart Gold and use it through the game as my starter.

Venoat and Venomoth, I actually was using one of Crystal a few days ago, and I love it.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 28th, 2009 9:28 PM

Playing through, definitely Starmie and Weezing. I've used both in post-game battles to great effect, but never in-game as they're found too late in the game.

Amore October 29th, 2009 3:45 AM

Starmie.Nidoqueen.Nidoking.Shiftry.Tyranitar.

I've never used Starmie coz it's always found wayyy too late in-game. The Nidos are poison, and really tough to raise, so i cba.Shiftry, well, i nearly used it, but when Nuzleaf reached lv.50 and hadn't evolved, i gave up.

And Tyranitar??I suppose it's coz i only find it in leafgreen after the pokemon league, and larvitar ar hard to find.But, i'm raising one now.

It took me forever to think of Venonat as worth using, but indeed, it is VERY loveable. :D

Charmageddon October 29th, 2009 6:12 AM

Starmie. It has always been one of my favourite Pokemon, yet I have never actually used one. Even though I'm at the end of the Ultimate Monotype Challenge, going through all four generations using only water types, I haven't used Starmie at all.

hi fi wi fi October 29th, 2009 6:23 PM

yes lol usually i see pokemon i think have a cool name or look cool and wish i had them but probably never get enough time to find them and transfer them.

BHwolfgang October 30th, 2009 8:12 PM

I have to admit that I've never used a Kingdra before. It was always Tyranitar or Lugia that I haven't really noticed Kingdra unless if I see it's name in the Pokedex.

Rich Boy Rob October 31st, 2009 2:00 AM

I can't believe I never used Crobat until Platinum! It's now the powerful thing on my team, I seriously can't understand why I always avoided them. I mean there's plenty, no, friggin millions of Zubats around early on, although maybe that's why?

VeganMacAndCheese October 31st, 2009 4:55 AM

Hm... if I used Pearl to breed myself a team of late-in-the-game Pokemon that I've never used, and transfer it to a new file of Diamond as soon as I can... I think Starmie and Electrode would be good, but what else? A lot of people have said Girafarig too... o.o;

Ruphire October 31st, 2009 5:01 AM

Hmm.. I think I'd like to use a Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

They're not that strong, but I really like their designs. They're pretty neat.

HallwayKid October 31st, 2009 6:43 AM

Froslass, Gligar, Hippowdon, Lucario, Absol. I just never get around to using these guys and they are all available in Platinum. Maybe they could be my new team.

I always liked them. They had kind of a "Pokemon Swiss army knife/duct tape" feel to me, especially because I always gave them a weird variation of moves. Like, "crap, I don't know how to fix this situation, I'll throw my Nidoking out there..."

Vespinus October 31st, 2009 11:09 AM

I like Venomoth, love it in fact, but I've never used it. I'll get it ASAP

Ayselipera November 1st, 2009 9:06 AM

Yes there is!

For the first generation it would be Alakazam. I think I might be the only one. :( Its just that I never had a link cable to trade it back in the GBC and GBA days and I never got around to it once I got my Ds. Same reason goes for Golem. Never used Muk either or Seaking. I'm a little ashamed of myself D:

For the second generation its Xatu. I always say I'm going to use it, but then I just end up using some other flying type. I've also never used Tyranitar either mostly because it comes in so late or I'm too lazy to level it up so high. Then theres Magcargo. I've raised every non legendary fire type except Magcargo. I feel like I should just to say yeah I've used every fire type, but its just so unappealing.

Me too, the same can be said for any bug-type Pokemon. I love them all (except for Ledyba >.>), but I've never ever had one in my party.

Dominus Temporis November 1st, 2009 3:38 PM

I've got quite a few, so I'll just pick a few from each generation:

First: Venomoth, Dugtrio, Slowbro, Clefable
Second: Lanturn, Sunflora (I like how happy it is...), Ursaring, Corsola
Third: Flygon, Ludicolo, Linoone, Cacturne, Exploud... this gen has a lot
Fourth: Rampardos, Vespiquen, Honchkrow, Drapion

Every gen has quite a few I like but never found the right opportunity to use.
