Gen V is a whole is okay. I love the new bugs in particular. But that Thundrous/Tornadus/Whateverus pokemon is really lacking in creative design and execution. It's a buff genie thing with a mustache, sitting on a cloud. Seriously? Come on, Gamefreak. Even Jynx looks better than those things. And that's saying a lot. :|

Girls can fight *raises eyebow* (n n)

Iff Gothie wuz dark, she have a fighting weakness. And that kinda takes awaye ze unique aspect of the character. A little girl that can take out big guys XD

Oh wow Gothitelle, that's an awesome theory. XD

But yeah, I think Tornadus / Landorus suck, but Thundurus? Come on, its black straight... circular things coming off it are awesome and it's a pretty colour (blue and purple). I've become a big fan of Thundurus. ^____^;

P.s Us English love a good moan ! :L

What about Blastoise? Looks like it's been upgraded with cannons. The whole point in Genesect that he's a bug who has been upgraded by Team Plasma. Key word: Upgraded. All of the new, weird and unusual designs just show that Game Freak has came up with a lot of much better ideas, and are giving more thought into their Pokemon.

Can tell xD.

Spinosaurus May 8th, 2011 4:38 AM

Gen V, in my opinion, has the best Pokémon designs of all generations. It introduced a lot of Pokémon that have potential to be my favorite Pokémon of all time. (Golurk, Landorus, Krookodile, Stunfisk, Vanilluxe, etc.) They were very creative with this gen. Here are some of my favorites:
http://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/641.gifhttp://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/642.gifhttp://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/645.gif
The Kami trio is my favorite legendary trio. (Not including mascot trios eg. Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza and Dialga/Palkia/Giratina.) I hated them at first, I'll admit, but they grew on me very fast. I love their designs, their typing and how useful they are in competitive battling. People seem to hate them because they look the same, but that's one of the reasons why I like them. (They feel...unique.)
Speaking of looking the same, I don't see any hate on Azelf/Uxie/Mesprit. (the heads are just different.) :\
http://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/622.gifhttp://dialgafans.pytalhost.de/Front/623.gif
When it comes to the most creative
Pokémon, Golurk takes the cake for me. I love the idea around it, and its design is very appealing and creative. A possessed battle suit made to protect humans and Pokémon.(It is the first man-made Pokémon!) Why isn't it a legendary? (But then Golett wouldn't exist! D:) I just don't see why people hate it so much. :<
http://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/551.gifhttp://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/552.gifhttp://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/553.gif
I loved the Sandile family the moment I saw them. Sandile is based on a crocodile. If that isn't awesome enough, take a look at Krokorok and Krookodile; they are based on a Baryonyx! A crocodile-like dinosaur with very sharp claws. It's one of my favorite dinosaurs and I always wanted a
Pokémon based on it! They're Ground/Dark as well. :P
http://dialgafans.pytalhost.de/Front/550%20RF.gifhttp://dialgafans.pytalhost.de/Front/550%20BF.gif
Basculin was also a
Pokémon I loved the moment I saw it. It's a fish, with two different appearances. I love the idea around it.

Makes it up for the lack of a Megalodon Pokémon for me. :D Design is so good too.
http://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/639.gif
Terrakion is a a bulldog-ox
Pokémon! Very very cool design. <3
http://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/618.gif
OK, many of you hate this guy. But why? It's sooooooo cute and derpy. :B I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEE it. Very underrated
Pokémon. It's as awesome as Magikarp imo. ;; Maybe it isn't that good in battling but I don't really care. At all.
http://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/582.gifhttp://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/583.gifhttp://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/584.gif
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE! That is all. Who doesn't love ice cream anyway?

There are many more I would list, like the Litwick family, Cobalion, Kyurem, Genesect, the fossils, Ferroseed/Ferrothorn, the Solosis family, and MANY more. Gen V is just amazing when it comes to the
Pokémon.
I don't really dislike any of them. 8D (except maybe Deerling because it KO'd its self when it was shiny. >:(((((()

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Gen V has my least favorite starters. They are pretty good, but I just prefer the older starters.

XxSweetDreamsxX May 8th, 2011 6:17 AM

I really honestly dont know why everyone likes this generation's pokemon designs.
I believe that this was the generation that failed the most.

It seemed like the pokemon in this Gen were either great, or horribly designed. These are my opinions of course, but many pokemon still haven't grown on me.

Like Thundurus(the other roaming legendaries), the Klink family line, the Vanillte family, the Timburr family, Sawk and Throh( hitmonchamp and hitmonlee wanna-bes ), Tympole( oh my gosh that face XwX;;; )- the list goes on. And Cobalion...oh my gosh...I just, really hate him.

I guess Scraggy and Scrafty grew on me, because I use to hate them along w/ Reshiram, but they're now my favorites. I also love Archen and Archeops <333
Sawsbuck, Reuniclus, and Blitzle I find very original. They dont remind me of any of the previous pkm. C: Emolga was a nice edition to the electric rodent family, and the Litwick family was very original.

And trust me there are MANY other beautiful designs they've made. I just don't like most of them.



The overall point is, they have to work harder on the pokemon. Thats just my thought on it.

Ho-Oh May 8th, 2011 4:56 PM

So like, I hated Crimgan, then I kinda liked Crimgan, and now I hate it again. Full circle. ^___^;

Surprised I like the ones I do, (Emboar, Herdier, Zekrom) because I usually go for cute/pretty ones tbh. :(

Gothitelle. May 8th, 2011 5:07 PM

Emboar is cute. Lilipup and Herdier are cute.. Soutland.. nawt su mutch.

And this:

Most Hated New Pokemon?
 
Alright, I don't know if this has been touched on before, so bear with me if it has. Every new round of Pokemon has its very own Mr. Mimes, and I think my three most hated new Pokes would have to be Gothita (that thing looks creepy as hell), Vanilluxe (for obvious reasons), and finally Garbador (which looks like a monster drawn by a 5 year old, no offense to 5 year olds- you could probably draw a better pokemon than this monstrosity).

So...most hated?
most loved?

Heart Gold May 9th, 2011 5:56 PM

Personally, Garbador makes me LOL. Without it I would be sad.

Mine would have to be the Goth thing.

spiderbrush May 9th, 2011 6:03 PM

In terms of appearance:
Least Favorite: Garbodor, Trubbish, and Stunkfish. Or whatever it's called. They just... don't look all that great.

Favorite: Reshiram, Zekrom, Serperior, and Lillipup--it just looks really cute to me.

And that's about all I can think of right now.

rstevenson1976 May 9th, 2011 6:08 PM

I'd say the garbage line, I mean, really?

dieter57 May 9th, 2011 6:14 PM

well the garbage bags were supposed to be hideous. they're mutated garbage bags due to exposure of toxic waste.
however, stunfisk is horrible. in every sense of the word.
vaniluxe has grown on me. i tolerate them. but i dont think ill be using them anytime soon.
one i thought i hated was galvantula. but now it's one of my favorite pokemon. lol

Notworking15 May 9th, 2011 6:22 PM

lets see, stunfisk, trubbish and its evolution, and all the new dragon types...why dragon types you ask? BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAP...sorry...

Gothitelle. May 9th, 2011 6:27 PM

Only Pokemon I hate is Chandelure and Reniclus. Mostly Chandelure for being a cheap uber. Actually I dislike most uber h4xor Pokemon except for Reshiram and Hydreigon.

I love Gothitelle (of course), Misdrevious, Hydreigon and Bisharp. I like many more but these guys are my top favorites. They are not only unique in visual design, but they are cute and bad-ass. (n n) (hey you asked for most loved in your question)

TheGr8 May 9th, 2011 7:02 PM

Hated: I would have to say Ammongus sp.? I hate that thing mostly in battles.
Favorites: Jellicent :)

Hydreigon May 9th, 2011 7:12 PM

I still think Simipour and Stunfisk are by far the ugliest/worst/awfulest ones of Gen V.

Rai May 9th, 2011 7:21 PM

I really like Gothorita but Gothita is just... fail. I can't take it seriously.

I am getting used to the ice cream line. I think the problem with it is that they tried to make them cute but it backfired.

Ho-Oh May 9th, 2011 7:26 PM

Yeah that's what the likes/dislikes thread is for. Merged the two. :D

Garringman May 9th, 2011 7:58 PM

Yeah I can't stand Stunfisk and Amoongus' family line.

gameplayer56 May 9th, 2011 8:34 PM

Favorites:
Victini
Snivy/ Servine/ Serperior
Oshawott/ Dewott/ Samurott
Petilil/ Lilligant
Gigalith
Stunfisk
Mienshao
Reshiram
They are my favorites due to either female looking or the designs were just great.


Least Favorites:
Tepig/ Pignite/ Emboar
Patrat/ Watchog
Lillipup & it's evos
Blitzle/ Zebstrika
I just... never liked their designs or their move sets.

The rest are just meh.

Wyatt Fire May 9th, 2011 10:46 PM

A trash bag Pokémon and an ice cream cone Pokémon just makes it seem like Game Freak's trolling its fans. Vanillite/-ish/-uxe was created by a Westerner as well, the first one to design some Pokémon. I kind of feel disgraced.

That is, no offense, but I'm sure if the ice cream had come in the first generation, I'd have accepted its silliness like a palm tree Pokémon or a magnet Pokémon.

The new Pokémon designs have gotten a lot more cartoonish in my opinion. It reminds me more of Digimon or something.

If Simpour was a girl, I would have liked it. I didn't like how they made it.... gay-ish. But they were going to for Bob Marley look... which they failed (_ _)

Oh and another pokemon I like and gets a ton of undeserved hate: Tepig/Pignite/Emboar. Those things are awesome in battle. But they get alot of hate simply for being a fire type. Gothite is a little more liked than Tepig but she's hated simply for not being an uber h4xor ***** >:[

Ho-Oh May 10th, 2011 4:39 AM

Simipour can be a female though :(

;__; Yeah I know, they're pretty awesome to start out with, buuttt the hate comes from being fire/fighting, not pure fire. People would've liked that. XD (Or fire/ground)
