Volcarona, hands down! It's one of the best designed Pokemon of all the generations. It doesn't need to be a legendary to prove it's good.
Genesect is one of my least favorite of the legendary Pokemon. It looks powerful, yeah, but doesn't really have the same charm as Volcarona does.

V O L C A R O N A

i love it's hair, like, "yeah i am the king(or queen) and look at my crown! kneel before me, petty genesect.

(but i wonder how genesect looks like if it wasn't modified, i wish it's on four feet rather than standing up.)

Except for the fact that the Water/Rock-based Genesect (I forgot how it works lool) would probably defeat it pretty easily. ;x Totally forgot typings though, makes Volcarona so much better!

I like Volcaronas desing better. It would also win 1 on 1 since its faster and its fire stab would roast Genesect. Although Genesect has better typing and would probably be better agaist more pokemon and has anyone seen its special move pool? It has great type coverage.

For me quiver dance gets Volcarona over the line

Wings Don't Cry March 12th, 2012 9:34 PM

I'd like to remind everyone of a message that didn't seem to get across very clearly. Genesect has a cannon on it's back, so clearly you should be choosing Volcarona.

Ho-Oh March 12th, 2012 9:39 PM

Pfft, lots of little kids like cannons (or little boys at least), so you'd think the cannons would attract more people to vote for it, lol.

wombateiro March 12th, 2012 11:08 PM

So it's like ancient symbol of sun vs genetic Tinkertoy, lol. Of course the ancient sun is better.

Cazzef March 13th, 2012 12:28 AM

I love both these Pokemon (despite not having used Genesect) so its a hard choice but at the end of the day Volcarona has my vote, it actually outspeeds Genesect by 1 point, and its fire type attacks will hit for 4x the damage. Genesects abilities are interesting as well though.

Mentalii March 13th, 2012 10:29 AM

Volcarona, its double type is awesome. And it's powerful.
And Genesect is just freaking disappointing. It doesn't look like a Pokémon, I mean, it looks like a robot ! If it was a kind of robot in the Pokémonworld, ok, this isn't disturbing. But calling that a Pokémon is... odd. Really.
Anyway I'd like to see its former form, before being changed by Team Plasma. Hmm, maybe we'll see that in BW2 !

HeroesAndCons March 13th, 2012 12:07 PM

Volcarona - Bug Fire is awesome and unique, while bug steel is boring and generic. Not to mnetion the 4x weakness to fire Genesect sports, Volcarona's Quiver Dance couples with massive power and versatility, and the fact he just plain looks cooler than Genesect does, IMO XD I've always loved fire types though, and the only steel type I've ever liked is Steelix =/

Ghiaccio March 13th, 2012 12:44 PM

Ah, well I like both! But I'd have to say Volcarona looks better, and idk it probably could be Genesect

miltankRancher March 13th, 2012 5:44 PM

I have to go with Volcarona. Over-all, I think Volcarona is a more promising and better pokemon. Design-wise, I love how it looks so kingly and all while Genesect looks like a squashed ant. Also, with the Foery Dance or Quiver Dance combo, Volcarona is a beast.

Zelda March 14th, 2012 2:07 AM

Volcarona is one of my favorite bug types, if not the. Genesect really can't be compared because whilst legendary, in terms of competitive battling (and even just a regular one really) Volcarona is a full out beast.

In a battle between the two, I see the obvious winner being Volcarona. Well first to begin with they're both bug types, but Volcarona has the advantage. x4 Fire weakness on Genesect couldn't be any more easier for Volcarona to sweep. Of course it all varies on what drive you give Genesect, but you know. Volcarona doesn't need some kind of CD drive to be great.

Plus Volcarona also has a pre-evolution and it's adorable. I think it has the win/win situation here, since its design is also amazing. To be honest when Genesect was first released I thought it was bland, and even now too. It rubbed off on me a little but first of all, the shade of purple isn't the best and second, it has no appeal to me as Volcarona does. The shades of red, orange, blue, etc. they are just really appealing to the eye.

So in the end based on everything that could be told about these two Pokémon, Volcarona gets my vote. :B

shinysweety March 14th, 2012 7:52 AM

I voted for Volcarona, since it's waaaaaay more awesome than Genesect. That's all. ^^

Otherworld9) March 14th, 2012 9:02 AM

Which one gives you a better impression (or in this case, which one just catches your attention?)
- Genesect mostly catches my attention, since I prefer his design, movepool, and typing.

Color-based & design wise, which one looks better to you?
- Volcarona is pleasant to my eyes, but I prefer Genesect's color scheme.

Against each other, who would win the battle?
- Unfortunately, to my dismay, Volcarona would win thanks to having the upper hand and advantages.

Genesect or Volcarona?
- Genesect.

vaporeon7 March 16th, 2012 3:31 AM

I'm 100% behind Volcarona in this!

Volcarona is my favourite Unova Pokémon and my 6th favourite of all Pokémon. I don't even need to write a story, it's beautiful, powerful, amazing...

Ultimo1991 March 16th, 2012 4:17 AM

i will have to choose Genesect... why? one because volcarona is overused 2 genesect gets some decent moves using his special drive items that could overpower volcarona with ease^^

Genesect has to have technological changes in its system while Volcarona can just sweep Pokémon with its natural body. ;)

VOLCARONA FTW

Steven March 17th, 2012 3:07 PM

Volcorona takes the cake, however Genesect's backstory is superior. Being modified by Team Plasma, being a prehistoric Pokemon. I want to know what it would look like without modifications. Come on, different form!

Cyprium March 17th, 2012 5:14 PM

They're both pretty cool Pokémon and stick to the trend of Unova having AWESOME bugs. Personally, I'm going to say Volcarona. I find it very aesthetically appealing for some reason. Bug/Fire is a pretty neat and unique typing too, while Bug/Steel is shared by a couple other Pokémon. Genesect's story is overall pretty neat and its signature move is even more neat, I can't help but favour Volcarona. Regardless, it's pretty close.

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire March 17th, 2012 5:32 PM

I personally prefer Genesect, it has a great backstory with team plasma, but regardless both are awesome.

While my eyes instantly go towards Volcarona, I have to say that Genesect does look awesome. Depends on personal taste really. For me? Volcarona catches my attention better.

http://www.kimsites.net/pokemon/pokeball_gray.jpg Color-based & design wise, which one looks better to you?
Oooo... That's a toughy. Both look freakin' amazing. I like how Genesect looks so sleek as heck. It screams: "I will destroy you and eat your remains." Volcarona? It screams: "You shall die a horrible, slow, painful, and burning death." Design wise? Genesect wins for me, but barely.

http://www.kimsites.net/pokemon/pokeball_gray.jpg Against each other, who would win the battle?
Comes down who's faster honestly. Both would probably take the other out in one attack. Looking at base stats, I see who is faster. By one point, Volcarona wins.

http://www.kimsites.net/pokemon/pokeball_gray.jpg Genesect or Volcarona?

As much as I like Genesect's design, Volcarona not only catches my attention better, but also beats Genesect in battle. Volcarona wins for me.

Hikamaru March 17th, 2012 9:11 PM

Volcarona is gonna win by a landslide...

Nica, if you are reading this I will be right...

:3 Of course, I read all B/W posts!

I'm so proud of Volcarona, winning so well. Either way, unstickying, you can still vote but it won't make a difference... XD Next poll coming soon!

Halcyon March 25th, 2012 7:31 AM

I would choose Volcarona. It attracts my attention more. It's Bug/Fire, hello? It's like the craziest, unique typing ever! Bug and Fire are two types that doesn't go well together, yet Volcarona is successful in making them do. Genesect is cute and all, but I can't own one since it's unobtainable as of now, and that disappoints me. >:(
