Favorite & least favourite Pokemon of the 5th Gen?
 
So, a lot of controversy around Gen 5 and it's pokemon. Personally, I loved the way they looked. But I want to hear what PC has to say. So, what was your favorite pokemon(s) of Gen 5? Also, what are your least favourites? Feel free to respond to other posts & discuss/promote your favourites. As for the generation as a whole, if you feel they don't look like Pokemon, use the seperate thread for that.

(Sorry if this has been posted before or is a common question.)

Timbjerr March 29th, 2012 12:14 PM

People can make fun of it all they want, but I'm in love with this thing's design. I only wish it had a better movepool. D:



Yes, it's seriously my favorite GenV pokémon. XD

Joshawott March 29th, 2012 12:46 PM

Samurott was definitely my favourite fifth generation Pokémon. Everything from its awesome design to its semi-bug type was just awesome. That being said, I will admit that Darmanitan falls dangerously close behind. Those things are amazing physical attackers and learn seriously beneficial moves early on.

Mr. X March 29th, 2012 12:49 PM

Imo, a lot of the gen 5's look like garbage (In fact, one of them actually IS garbage.) but amazingly I do have some favorites from gen 5.

Stoutland, Serperior, and Zebrastrika (Spelled wrong I know).

I'm just kinda afraid to see what they come up with in the 6th generation.

blue March 29th, 2012 12:56 PM

Hmm good question, I really love Vanilluxe and as much as you may dislike it's design, for me it's cute!

Ho-Oh March 29th, 2012 3:51 PM

Well it seems likes/dislikes is close enough to death that a couple days don't really matter - the thread needed a refresh anyways. So as a result, I'm just going to edit in a few discussion questions into the first post so we can get some discussion happening again. :3

Either way, my favourite was Herdier partially because of the design/partially because of how it sounds as well as partially because it was a dog, lol. Everything about it is awesome tbh.

As for others, some of the ones I didn't like were Crimgan, Garbodor, etc, but purely because of design. A lot of the ones I disliked before I kind of liked more because of battling, lol, like Tornadus. :x

But yeah, overall, Crimgan/Druddigon should probably be deleted. :)

WHAT?! I think Druddigon looks totally kick ass! lol Just my opinion though. And Garbador is just a reboot of Muk and I never really liked Muk. The gothitelle and it's evolutions look so ridiculous to me. I don't like them at all. I like the monkey trio excep the water form. Simsear has to be my new favorite pokemon. It and Timburr. And it's evolved forms.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly March 29th, 2012 4:52 PM

Personally I like Golurk (which you might be able to guess by my name :))
Its a giant robot. THAT FLIES. Plus it's got a movepool that helps it do what it needs to

Other favorites of mine include.... hm. I kinda like all of the 5th gen. They really grew on me. But i guess I'd go with the jelly bear Reuniclus, Elgyem, Rufflet, Joltik, Serperior, uh... and Darmanitan, especially zen form. I thought that was a cool feature.

Least favorites would be Gothita (it's lips are two disconnected ovals!?) and actually the musketeer trio. Something about them seemed creepy, like a human deer hybrid gone wrong...

@Forever Whatchu talkin' bout? Druddigin/Garbodor are awesome, even though I kinda hated them at first... but now they're cool haha

-ty- March 29th, 2012 5:49 PM

People need to stop being haterz when it comes to 5th generation pokemon.

The variety of styles makes it great for everyone. IF you like elegant, tough, weird, cute, ugly, regal, sinister, or any combination of these styles, there is a Pokemon for you in this generation.

I also like the new and unique typing of pokemon, with the exception of the poor representation of poison types, and even maybe the fire types.


I am picky about my Pokemons' appearances, but these are the ones that appeal to me, and therefore, I can use during the game:

I should also note that this generation contains the most Pokemon that I find to be appealing enough to be on my team. This is by far the best generation of Pokemon!!!

Drakes March 29th, 2012 6:53 PM

I have to say, this generation of pokemon make me madder then any other. Most of them are cross bread with two skill sets but my fav is.............
Darmanitan.
He is a straight beast.

PaxAmericana March 29th, 2012 7:19 PM

I don't love Garbodor that much, although Trubbish is meh..
Garbodor looks hideous.

DominusValdo March 29th, 2012 7:24 PM

I really enjoyed three different pokemon the best. Darmanitan, Haxorus and Braviary.
Darmanitan was a monster and Haxorus is probably my favorite dragon design. I usually never like flying but Braviary just looked awesome and he was overall a great asset to my team. He is my favorite flying including legendary birds.

miltankRancher March 29th, 2012 8:05 PM

Ughh.. Generation Five. Brought two Pokemon I really hate. :\



I really do not know why, but these Pokemon strikes me as ugly. really. no offence.

I have a few mons I like though. Samurott is really a beast, plus Serperior is just elegant. Galvantula is badass, and so is Cofagrigus.

SquishyCasanova March 29th, 2012 8:26 PM

Cobalion was a cool pokemon! Not necessarily the best, but I liked it.
Least favorite, probably Simisage, Simipour and Simisear,
they were just...frightening.

Kenshin5 March 29th, 2012 8:43 PM

I remember back on the day when it was released in japan and all of the pokemon were being released through out the day I was in aw. Then we they were all ripped by the evening my initial ones I instantly connected too were Bisharp, Haxorus, Carracosta, Krookodile line, Volcarona, and Golurk from if memory serves correctly. Then looking at it in retrospect I am thinking I like at least 75% of the designs. Good stuff as a whole, although there are hits and misses as well like the Kami Trio, Trubbish & Garbodar, Alomomola, Klink line, Cyrogonal. Then there is some I just disliked like Scraggy and Scrafty but now I love them especially since (Scraggy) atm is apart of Ash team.

Crazyme931 March 29th, 2012 9:18 PM

Conkeldurr is the best to me for its good bulk and movesets, I have one and it sweeps like no tomorrow
Only one pokemon I cannot stand, Whimsicott, it is good but focused to much on irritating your opponents

wombateiro March 29th, 2012 10:10 PM

Looking only at concepts, my favs are Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott. I think concept of Samurai otter/sea lion using razor shells/swords is awesome. I also like Zoroark and Cofagrigus.

TY March 29th, 2012 10:14 PM

Well, the name says it: Excadrill.

It looks badass, it is very strong...

Guillermo March 30th, 2012 6:54 AM

I don't understand what everyone's beef with Volcarona is. It is the most badass moth I have ever seen and if you Quiver Dance that thing it will take down a freight train on steroids. Oh and it puts Venomoth from Gen I to shame.

While a lot of the Gen V Pokemon looked absolutely pathetic, and like the developers just all got really drunk and splashed some paint around on a board and called it a Pokemon, there were one or two I didn't mind....

Volcarona
Hydreigon (was waiting for a three-headed dragon for sososo long)
Kyurem
Samurott
Excadrill
Haxorus (there is a reason it has hax in it's name)

Kenshin5 March 30th, 2012 11:28 AM

I wasn't aware everyone had a beef with it, judging by the people that voted in this topic http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=275633 and the comments they made as to how great it is and how much they liked it.

Crazyme931 March 30th, 2012 2:38 PM

Volcarona is a great lead but its 4 times weakness to rock and the popularity of stealth rock are the only thing holding it back. Start with a rapid spin and it is a great Gen V pokémon

BIGoDeViN March 30th, 2012 2:52 PM

@Hikari - Reuniclusis seriously one of the coolest pokemon in B/W IMO.

sherreamethyst March 30th, 2012 4:20 PM

My favorite 5th gen pokemon is definitely Archeops and Dweeble/Crustle! I think the designs were amazing especially for Archeops. I love all the colors on him! And for Dweeble and Crustle, I think their designs are very cute and fun! Dweeble is just so adorable that I wish I still had my hermit crabs so I can change all of their to Dweeble, LOL

I'm not just referring to this forum jsyk.

Mentalii March 31st, 2012 1:55 AM

I am one of the V gen hater. Yes, I'm very disappointed by almost every designs. Really. I love the games BW, but the Pokémon repelled me a lot.
Now, I'm used to them so I don't hate them as much as in the beginning x)
Anyway, each to his own taste !
Well, maybe I don't generally like the V gen Pokémon, but there's one or two of them I can stand, like Braviary or Deerling. And I think Garbodor's funny :pink_nod:

DipKicks March 31st, 2012 10:13 AM

Escavalier and Accelgor are definitely among my favorites (pre-evos too)

Their concept is clever and they just look boss among the unfavorable bug type.

pknight96 March 31st, 2012 11:59 AM

Hydreigon. It's a three-headed dragon. That's all I need to say. Cofagarius in a close 2nd, though.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE April 1st, 2012 12:49 PM

Mienshao's design for me is probably the best, I don't know it just looks so elegant or something :)

Also love Ducklett, Braviary, Tirtouga, Minccino, Sawsbuck, Durant, Cobalion and Reshiram :)

Fizzay April 1st, 2012 12:53 PM

Really hard! xP

I'd say...Emolga, Sewaddle, Tepig, Zorua, Minncino, Axew, Oshawott and Snivy. xP

ShinyUmbreon189 April 1st, 2012 12:56 PM

Ok, I hate Unova Pokemon in general but I can deal with very few Pokemon from Unova

Snivy and its evolutionary chain and Oshawott and it's evolutionary form looks retarded.

kevcrash April 1st, 2012 1:47 PM

I'd have to say my favorites are:

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/621.gif
Even though I've been let down by my own Druddigon (his nature suck, and I didn't realize it until recently), I will always love it. It does have high attack and I think it looks funny, but that's one of the reasons it's my favorite from this region.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/497.gif
This is one of the best designed Pokemon ever, in my opinion. I picked it as my starter and it has NEVER let me down. I use it with Coil + Leaf Blade, and sometimes Slam (for those that are good against grass).

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/584.gif
This thing. When I first saw it I thought it was a joke. Then, when I got the game, I found myself wanting it more and more, until I got it! I love it! It's such a special sweeper, and it's just so great.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/628.gif
This thing is such a beast! It's fast and it's attack is amazingly high! Plus, it's also really well designed.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/553.gif
This is also a beast. My Krookodile was always really powerful even with a bad nature. I think it's really cool looking too. Get one.

Other ones I like or think look good/cool/cute:
Spoiler:


Oh and sorry for copying Hikari's idea with the gif and the explanation

Do not be hating.

SoratheEliteOne April 2nd, 2012 12:34 AM

I'd say I'm split between Druddigon and Haxorus. On one hand, Haxorus has a massive Attack stat that nearly rivals Rayquaza, though it has a gaping hole in it's special defense. Druddigon's speed is... well, bad, though it's got great defenses in both stats, and it's attack is pretty good for a single stage. In terms of design, I'd have to say Haxorus wins.. Though Druddigon's potential is what interests me the most there.

Yuoaman April 2nd, 2012 6:37 AM

SHADES AND SMUGS FOREVER, MAN.

Shades has freaking shades, and Smugs is just so smug. It's obvious, really.

Killjoy April 2nd, 2012 9:38 AM

I'd say Haxorus, I guess, But I really like em all, for the most part

bewbs April 4th, 2012 11:56 AM

Vanilluxe, Zekrom, Chandelure, Swanna, Liligant, Serperior, Oshawott, and Larvesta.

arbok April 4th, 2012 2:26 PM

Axew line- is pretty well recieved all over in both abliities and looks so I don't think I need to explain any further.
Sandile line- I love reptiles so a crocodile Pokemon was a must for me. This was the first gen V pokemon I saw and thought "Must have"
hydreigon - A three headed dragon is cool in itself but there is something about this guy that just seems... evil. And evil is cool. Pokemon like Tyranitar and Houndoom may look threatning but hydreigon is on a diffrent level. Mewtwo was supposed to be the only pokemon that was born nasty but I think it may have a challenger.
Lilipup line- In sharp contrast to the above Lilipup just looks cute and full of personality. Hearder and Stoutland live up to Lilipup.
archeops- Being a fossil nerd I was very happy to see this pokemon, on I immediatly recognised as archeopteryx, the first bird. That alone wins it for me, the massive attack is just another plus.

Zephele April 4th, 2012 4:06 PM

Galvantula is definitely my absolute favourite. It has an adorable pre-evolution, and an awesome type combination (two of my favourites). Archeops takes a close second place, mostly because it saved me so many times when I first played through White.

As for Pokemon I'm not a fan of... there's not really any one I can point out. I even like the less popular ones, like Garbodor and Vanilluxe. I'm pretty fond of most of the Gen 5 designs.

bctincher15 April 5th, 2012 7:23 PM

My most favorite is probably Serperior, and my least favorite is, well, I don't have one, I like all of them in some way, but none will be better than the 1st generation.

Joshawott April 5th, 2012 7:27 PM

It appears this thread's title has been slightly alternated. My least favourite Pokémon was definitely Serperior. That thing disappointed the hell of me — whether it's by its design or movepool. Sad to say, but that was my least favourite starter evolution line.

Lol, I'm geussing it was a moderator.

As for the topic at hand, I really don't like Gothitelle. Or whatever it's name is. It's design dissapointed me. I've really grown fond of Golurk, though.

Comerion April 5th, 2012 11:47 PM

There were a few good ones. Most of them were terrible though on my opinion. Especially the legendaries, having one colour makes them look so dull and boring. Also I hated the name black and white, its just kinda meh, two very boring colours.

The only ones I liked were Archeops and Darmanitan, they are stupidly powerful yet underrated, especially Darmanitan, with choice band it can sweep entire teams with flare blitz.

Hikamaru April 6th, 2012 12:19 AM

The 5th Gen introduced some of my fave Pokemon, especially these:

Spoiler:
http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/501.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/502.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/503.gif

Oshawott, Dewott & Samurott
When I first saw these Water-types, I knew I had to choose Oshawott as my starter. The anime pushed me even more with Oshawott acting cute, causing him to become my fave Pokemon. My fave Water Starter line to date and they didn't fail to impress me.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/574.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/575.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/576.gif

Gothita, Gothorita & Gothitelle
These Psychic-types made me want to play Black, I love the design (Gothic Lolita FTW!) and the cries (I like how Gothitelle's cry sounds like the scary music from Psycho). Gothitelle is now one of my stars and I loved using her, she uses Calm Mind like a champ.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/582.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/583.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/584.gif

Vanillite, Vanillish & Vanilluxe
Finally, we have an ice cream Pokemon - and this one's really cute. I don't often use Ice-types but unlike most people here I actually like this family of Ice-types. I even had Vanillite as one of my previous avatar/signature themes, no wonder I like it. Plus Marriland used one in his White video playthrough as well making me love it even more!

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/577.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/578.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/579.gif

Solosis, Duosion & Reuniclus
Even though I play Black, I secretly traded a Solosis over from my brother's White so I can test it. It was actually pretty good once it evolved. I love Reuniclus cos it's so huggable and has good Special moves plus it's a beast on those teams based around Trick Room. I like Gothitelle better design-wise but I love Reuniclus too.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/587.gif

Emolga
My fave Electric Rodent, cos it's so cute (especially in the anime). Even though people hate the Emolga in the Nimbasa Gym cos of Double Team, I decided to train one and mine turned out good (I managed to get mine to Level 58, I'm not kidding!). Emolga will always be the cutest Electric Rodent.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/605.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/606.gif

Elgyem & Beheeyem
When I first saw these little Psychic aliens, I went "awwww...". Then my love towards them got better thanks to Marriland using an Elgyem (and later Beheeyem) in his White playthrough, they are cute and amazing Trick Room threats as well.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/607.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/608.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/609.gif

Litwick, Lampent & Chandelure
My fave Ghost-types, I remember seeing these Ghost/Fire-types and I went "Litwick (Hitomoshi back then) is so cute!". Then after seeing that massive Sp. Attack stat Chandelure has, I just had to have one. After playing Black, I caught the first Litwick I saw and she's now an amazing Chandelure. I love their designs and the fact that I am Lampent in the Unova Zodiac (I was born in October) makes me a big fan of these things.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/498.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/499.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/500.gif

Tepig, Pignite & Emboar
I feel so sorry for Unova's resident Fire Starter, who gets so much hate cos people think he's "ugly". Not me! I think Tepig is so cute (Oshawott is still my fave) and I love his anime voice. I don't find Pignite or Emboar ugly, I find them amazing! I had a chance to use all 3 starters after I traded a Snivy and Tepig from my brother's White. My Emboar turned out amazing, he was able to outspeed some foes even without Flame Charge (he has a Jolly nature so there's a chance he may have good IVs in Speed). So guys, don't underestimate these fiery pigs. My second fave Fire Starter, behind the Chimchar line.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/572.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/573.gif

Minccino & Cinccino
These Normal-type chinchilla Pokemon are something to watch out for. Cuteness and moves that abuse the Technician ability. With Technician, Cinccino becomes a massive threat with normally weak multi-strike moves like Bullet Seed, Rock Blast and its signature Tail Slap. I tried one out and she was amazing! They are also so cute too.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/495.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/496.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/497.gif

Snivy, Servine & Serperior
My fave Grass Starter as far as design goes, not as good for movepools but whatever? Snivy's design and anime personality made me like it. I traded one from my brother's White and as a Serperior, he was amazing with a Coil + Leaf Blade + Leech Seed combo. And on top of that, once Contrary Serperior gets released, everyone will want him with Leaf Storm!

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/511.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/512.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/513.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/514.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/515.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/516.gif

Pansage & Simisage, Pansear & Simisear, Panpour & Simipour
I love monkeys given I was born in 1992 (classified as Monkey in Chinese Zodiac) and these guys are no exception. I tried all 3 out and they weren't bad plus they have good movepools too. When you get one of these guys, you will have an easier time in the Striaton Gym. I also love the "Hear No, See No, Speak No" concept behind them.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/561.gif

Sigilyph
Yeah, I love most of the Unova Psychics. Sigilyph is a very interesting one with good Sp. Attack and Speed plus its awesome Magic Guard ability grants it a few immunities and it can even learn Ice Beam. I had a good time training one, and I definitely recommend it.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/559.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/560.gif

Scraggy & Scrafty
I was always wishing for a Dark/Fighting-type, and these guys come along. I love their sprite animations and they have a good movepool too. I have a female Scrafty with Moxie that loves Hi Jump Kicking everything and I love it when she gets that Attack boost with every opponent she KO's. Moxie is such an awesome ability. Ash's Scraggy in the anime is also very cool too!

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/643.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/644.gif

Reshiram & Zekrom
These guys are the most epic Legendaries ever! I love their design, Yin-Yang origin and those tails that charge up with fire and electricity. Reshiram is the one I like better since I play Black and mine turned out with a perfect nature (Modest). I was satisfied with my Reshiram and I plan to use it again sometime. Black & White will forever be my fave games due to these amazing Legendaries. And I love the part of the main storyline where N uses one of the dragons and battles the other one that you catch, most epic battle ever. Yeah, Unova has really awesome Pokemon which is why I loved the 5th Gen.


And here's the ones I hated:

Spoiler:
http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/621.gif

Druddigon
It looks ugly and its Speed is a letdown despite the nice movepool. Sorry Druddigon but your Speed just wasn't up to my standards.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/618.gif

Stunfisk
It's a total DERP. I did catch one but I don't use it cos it's slow (which is not common for Electric-types) and it's downright ugly.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/504.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/505.gif

Patrat & Watchog
They suffer from that "early-route rodent" syndrome, having terrible stats and downright uselessness. Their eyes look weird too.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/509.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/510.gif

Purrloin & Liepard
They may look sneaky, but every time I battle a Liepard it always uses Fake Out on me, which is downright repetitive. Plus, I had a terrible time training Liepard.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/524.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/525.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/526.gif

Roggenrola, Boldore & Gigalith
They look cool, but what I hated about them was their shallow movepool and that ability I don't want to mention... (Hint: It prevents you KO'ing them in one hit)

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/550.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/550-blue.gif

Basculin
They always annoy me when I'm surfing or fishing. And they are very fast and hit hard, making it way more annoying. Such a pity they have good abilities though.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/556.gif

Maractus
It looks cute but I would have loved it more if it had more Special moves in its movepool. At least I use mine in Musicals though.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/590.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/591.gif

Foongus & Amoonguss
They are so ugly and I hate the Poke Ball disguise they serve.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/532.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/533.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/534.gif

Timburr, Gurdurr & Conkeldurr
They are so ugly, I did use a Timburr in the Gym Battle against Lenora (a female one actually) but their movepool is too shallow, they should get the Elemental Punches in B2/W2.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/527.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/528.gif

Woobat & Swoobat
They aren't the Zubat of Unova for nothing... appearing in every cave except Chargestone Cave. Also, their stats apart from Speed are really mediocre.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/631.gif

Heatmor
So ugly, it's terrible and derpy. Such a pity cos it learns the awesome Flamethrower naturally.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/646.gif

Kyurem
Ugliest of the Tao Trio, Reshiram and Zekrom are way cooler than this...

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/641.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/642.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/645.gif

Tornadus, Thundurus & Landorus
They look like carbon copies of each other, same body just different colors. Their faces look weird too.

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/568.gifhttp://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/569.gif

Trubbish & Garbodor
These Poison-types are my least fave of all Pokemon (particularly Garbodor) cos they look ugly and their movepool is terrible cos they are Physical-based but learn mainly Special attacks. In fact the only Physical STAB move they learn is the inaccurate Gunk Shot. They are total rubbish.

~V~ April 6th, 2012 12:29 AM

My favorite Pokemon in Unova has to be Axew. I just love that Pokemon.

The Pokemon I hate the most in Unova has to be Zorua. I only hate it because I can't get it!

Mew~ April 6th, 2012 3:34 AM

Ah, well my favourites are tied between Scraggy, Mienshao, Liepard and Zoroark. As for my least favourites, probably Zebstrika, Cryogonal and Basculin...

edward13two April 6th, 2012 5:25 AM

The Unova Pokemon I liked the most would have to be Zoroark, Mandibuzz, Serperior, Scrafty, Galvantula and Carracosta. In fact, that was the team I used. I also like the Haxorus line, mainly because of their excellent attack.

The only Unova Pokemon I don't like is Garbodor. I just really don't like its design. That wouldn't stop me from using it in battle, though.

TheZeno96 April 6th, 2012 5:47 AM

The 5th gen i hate are the starters! They are ridiculous!
The best is axew!

DarkWolf13 April 6th, 2012 2:45 PM

Here's a few of my most favorites and why

Druddigon
Despite its low Speed, it's a powerful dragon to me and the first Unova region dragon I ever caught. I bredded for a fast natured one: The Druddigon I have a speed of 110 at Lv 50, being Jolly natured. I love my male shiny Druddgion in Black and my female one in White because of strong movesets.

Krookodile
When I looked up this pokemon before the game came out, I instantly wanted to get myself one of those guys so I caught it's pre-evolved form & raised it. Krookodile is also among my main team in Black. If he's against anything faster than him, his Low Sweep will slow 'em down.

Archeops
This pokemon is far by my most favorite fossil pokemon of all, ranking right next to Aerodactyl (My 1st favorite fossil pokemon). Despite the let down ability, my Archeops is fast and strong. She's basically my main aerial support for my main team.

Haxorus
This... this dragon here... is the most powerful in my main team, with her Attack going almost to 400. My Haxorus is a major threat because she can obliterate her foes easily. Even an Aggron with Sturdy or Gengar with Levitate can't withstand her Earthquake! She's the sparkling star of my main team, literally because she's a shiny Haxorus.

I don't have any least favorites...

They say never judge a book by it's cover, that can certainly be said for this Pokémon as it has great stats and can be very helpful in tough battles, not to mention it's cute!

http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/510.gif
Yeah it may not have the best stats but it certainly looks the part, it's another Cat Pokémon and that's why I love it!

Dislike

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/555.gif

Many may disagree on this one but I just don't find it very appealing, it's strong but that's not always the best quality in a Pokémon, right?

mrdeano April 6th, 2012 3:10 PM

I have only been playing the game since yesterday so I have only seen a handful of Pokemon :P I'd say my favourite so far is Sawk. So you can probably tell that my range of Pokemon to choose from isn't very high!

I love that Egyptian/Mummie Pokemon I saw earlier in this topic! What is it called? I'mm go catch it!

I think you mean Cofagrigus.

Absol April 6th, 2012 4:25 PM

Some of my favorite gen 5 Pokemon are Volcarona, Zoroark, Serperior, Confabrigus, Chandelure, and Bisharp. I don't really have any dislikes at the moment. :)

pansear April 7th, 2012 8:41 AM

I like pansear, purrloin and I don't like Lillipup. :-)

Pumpking April 7th, 2012 10:38 AM

Favorite pokemon's are Victini, Lilligant and Braviary
Least fav is Garbodor and the fire starter family (I know a lot of people have complained about this, but seriously, why another fire/fight starter!?)

vaporeon7 April 7th, 2012 11:41 AM

My favourite generation V Pokémon is Volcarona. Volcarona has a beautiful design and is great fun to use in battle. I love how it can boost its stats with Quiver Dance and Fiery Dance. My least favourite would be Stunfisk. It looks aweful and causes DBEs.

Ephemeral Euphoria April 7th, 2012 11:55 AM

My favorites are Mandibuzz, Cofagrigus, Carracosta, Excadrill, Lilligant, Meloetta, Genesect, the tao trio, Zoroark, Emboar, the kami trio, and Haxorus since they're fun to use, have rather nice designs, and their movepools aren't too bad either.

My least favorites are the elemental monkeys, Krookodile, Jellicent, Bisharp, Watchog, Afrobull, Conkeldurr, Durant, the musketeer trio, Keldeo, Whimsicott, and Samurott due to crappy typings and designs, horrid movepools, and are overall disappointing even to face or use.

Most favorite - Mandibuzz. I can go on for hours on how much I love this bird and its abilities as a rather decent mixed wall but I'm just gonna say I love vultures and leave it at that.

Most hated - Watchog. Oh my god I despise this piece of crap that Lenora used against me to make Whitney seem like a walk in the park in comparison to this. I really don't want to say anymore than that.

Just my 2 cents there.

TheFattestSnorlax April 9th, 2012 1:39 PM

I find Trubbish and Garbodor To be my least favorite pokemon now.
Oh, and Stunfisk... don't really like that either.

Mana April 10th, 2012 3:08 AM

My favourite is Lilligant :3 I like it's movepool for a solid status/absorb, stat/attack moveset. And it looks cool.

Least favourite... the main bird. I can't even remember it's name I avoid it that much ;_;.

BRS April 10th, 2012 5:58 AM

I like chandelure because of its high special attack and movepool. My chandelure can sweep teams and the elite four :3. And i like stunfish because it so derpy :3 lolz.

And i hate...i dont know. I dont really have a hate pokemon in 5th gen. But somewhere else i hate jynx. Timid jynx just spam lovely kiss at you and set up nasty plot >.<

Turn-it April 10th, 2012 7:06 AM

I don't really have a favorite from this gen...but I can't stand whimsicott! That cute little thing is annoying and fast for no reason! lol

Yes, it's seriously my favorite GenV pokémon. XD

I love that guy too! I've always liked odd Pokemon, and another one of my favorites is Cryogonal. I use it competitively, and it's pretty great (physically, no, but it's great for a Special attacker and sponge along with Recover, and is also a fun spinner). Also Stunfisk - I'd say he's my favorite.

DannyPokeFan April 11th, 2012 1:44 PM

Favourites are Excadrill, Haxorus, Archeops and Chandelure. All the power houses really. As for dislikes, there really isn't any, except maybe the stupid patrats that pop out every step you take.

Oh......Same answer here. Hate those Patrats......-_-

I guess I'm kind of a Gen V hater, but ZOROARK. OMG, this think is a beast. I love everything about it.
I also like Mienfoo/Mienchao, but I have no idea why. I guess it's because Mienfoo is cute and Mienchao is just......strong. It's design is mediocre, IMO.

Archiebald April 14th, 2012 2:21 AM

If I was to pick my favorite 5th gen pokemon I guess it would be Whimsicott.
As far as the one I hate the most, it would have to be klink and its evolutions.

Nearsighted king of Ice April 14th, 2012 4:08 AM

My favorite is Whimsicott, as for my least favorite, that would be Lillipup

Seki April 14th, 2012 4:53 AM

My favourite is Braviary 'cos its cool like that.
My least favourite is Druggdigon or whatever its called/spelt.

Archenoth April 14th, 2012 7:10 PM

I actually like most of the Generation V Pokemon. There were some really great designs in there, things like any of the starters, Emolga, Bisharp, and the Simis... There are a few in there that I don't like. I'll admit I am on the giant boat of people that don't like Garbodor. The design seems just bad to me. But then again, I can say the same for a few older Pokemon as well.

seen and used!!!!!!! Besides the weakness and stealth rock popularity, I


think Volcarona is the coolest Pokemon in BW, along side Zekrom,


Stunfisk (jk),lol, and Braviary
______________________________________________________________


Volcarona FTW!, Oh and Larvesta, he is cool too.......

Asuf April 19th, 2012 6:59 PM

Samurott is my fav, If only it showed off its sword in its battle sprite, my least favourite has to be Stunfisk, because, well... It's Stunfisk... :P At first I actually thought it was an Electric/Ground type Magicarp, then it dished out a few moves on me, I was expecting Splash lol.

EarthWolfblade April 20th, 2012 11:49 AM

[SIZE="a"]My favorite pokemon in gen5 as well as my second favorite of all pokemon (snorlax is first) is most definitely Bisharp. Hands down.



My least favorite is definitely anything in the klink line[/SIZE]

Orpheo April 25th, 2012 11:41 AM

I really don't like Samurott. I think it ruins its evolutionary line. I really like Oshawott and Dewott, but I hate Samurott.

Mr Cat Dog April 26th, 2012 1:53 AM

Favourite Gen V Pokemon: Probs Chandelure. It looks amazing, has great stats, awesome typing. It's just an awesome critter any which way you look at it.

Least favourite Gen V Pokemon: Druddigon. It's just... there. Under normal circumstances, it would be awesome, but it really isn't. It looks fugly, is ridiculously slow, and just isn't good to use. For a Dragon Pokemon, it really is quite pathetic.

dreamcatcher April 26th, 2012 6:32 AM

My favorite Pokémon in 5th Gen was defs Hydreigon :3 He's so cool-looking and has incredible stats and a brutal move pool to boot. My least favorite is a tie between Simipour and Simisear -.- I still can't get over their godawful design.

LegendaryFSK April 26th, 2012 7:53 AM

When the designs for all the new Gen V Pokémon were first released, I was kind of upset. Then I bought the game and I quickly began to fall in love with most of the designs. Outside of first gen, Gen V has some of my favorite Pokémon of all time.

Favorites: Victini, Snivy, Oshawott, Excadrill, Whimsicott, Scraggy, Scrafty, Carracosta, Archeops, Zorua, Zoroark, Minccino, Cinccino, Axew, Fraxure, Haxorus, Cryogonal, Mienshao, Rufflet, Braviary, Hydreigon, and Volcarona.

Least Favorite: Liepard, Roggenrola, Boldore, Lilligant, Trubbish, Garbodor, Klink, Klang, and Klinklang.

I'm completely neutral about the rest of Gen V Pokémon.

★Midnight★ April 27th, 2012 9:01 PM

I loved them all, except for Foongus and Amoongus...

Zapperz April 27th, 2012 11:54 PM

i dislike druddigon, cause it looks like it was done in a hurry.
and also purrlion, cause it looks like another version of glameow without the puffy tail

Lonely_LizardX2 April 28th, 2012 11:59 AM

Trubbish and Garbador are the worst Pokemon of Gen V, Stunfisk a close second.

ShadowStriatonTriad April 28th, 2012 12:51 PM

To be honest, I'm really proud of generation 5. I was more disappointed in generations 3 and 4...but, if I had to pick out of generation 5, I'd say the only one that comes to mind would be Alomomola. :/

Halfcadence April 29th, 2012 2:26 PM

I really like Krookodile, he's pretty beastly. For least favorite i'd have to say Emolga on account of the strife he caused me by using Acrobatics all the time : /

Incepticon April 29th, 2012 7:18 PM

Zebstrika is probably my favourite and my least favourite is that garbage pokemon... Both of them.

Klinklang5 May 1st, 2012 9:20 PM

My favorite is a tie between Scrafty and Eelektross. Least favorite would be Sawk.

voltianqueen May 1st, 2012 11:19 PM

I was seriously disappointed with the majority of Gen 5 Pokemon when they were first released, but over time a lot of them grew on me. It still isn't really my favorite as far as designs, but I have a lot of favorites.

Favorites: Oshawott family (esp Dewott), Blitzle family, Roggenrola and Gigalith (don't much like Boldore), Sawk, Throh, Sandile family, Scraggy, Archeops, Zoroark, Joltik family, Haxorus, Braviary, Mandibuzz, Heatmor, Deino family, Reshiram, Cobalion

Least Favorites: Elemental monkeys, Woobat, Timburr and Gurdurr, Tympole family, Darumaka family, Maractus, Trubbish family, Gothita family, Vanillite family, Amoongus, Frillish family, Klink family

So yeah. At first I was going to get Tepig, when only the the first starter forms had been revealed, but once the other evolutions came out I felt disappointed with Tepig's line and loved Oshawott's (even though Oshawott was my least favorite at first!). Since then, Tepig's evolutions have grown on me and I will probably choose them for Black 2. I like Snivy too, but I just feel so turned off by him due to the people who obsessed over him x_x

Jellicent♀ May 2nd, 2012 1:56 AM

My favorite should be obvious. :'D
Jellicent is amazing. Both genders have great designs, it's bulky by nature, has a nifty movepool, and it's a water type. That make everything better.

My LEAST favorite would have to Zoroark. Design is terrible, it has terrible hair, lack-luster movepool, sub-par stats; it's just bad.

Aquarius1997 May 2nd, 2012 3:06 PM

Just like Volitia Queen said there was some disaponting pokemon( IM LOOKING AT YOU TRASH BAG) but i have gotton used to these pokemon

FAVORITE:

Chandelure- THAT CRY,DESIGN,AND MOVESET HAD ME SCREAMING LIKE A LITTLE FANGIRL

Annoying Little Female Dog

Cryogonal- now why would the creators create a GIANT CRYING SNOWFLAKE it has a competitive edge but still WHY!!! THE IDEA IS JUST DUMB

PlatinumDude May 2nd, 2012 5:31 PM

My favorite Gen V Pokemon is Excadrill. It's hard to believe that a 2-foot tall Pokemon would have a massive 135 Attack. Under Sandstorm, courtesy of Sand Rush, it can outspeed and KO almost anything in sight.

I don't really like Garbodor. Its movepool sucks and it's ugly (no offense to Timbjerr of course).

GoombaGeek May 2nd, 2012 6:23 PM

I hate Lillipup.

In every way.

It's like a generic rat but a dog instead and I don't like dogs. Even Pickup cannot save it (in my view anyway).

Like, even Patrat is cooler than Lillipup. Stupid Lillipup. (At least its evolutions are less annoying-looking.)

Sodapop May 5th, 2012 5:53 PM

Gurdurr, that thing was so stupid, all of its forms were dumb.

AquaticWartortle May 5th, 2012 6:14 PM

My favorite is Dewott, it's so awesome & it looks cool! My least favorite is either Garbador or Conkeldurr, they both look stupid! >:(

RoosterHat May 5th, 2012 8:45 PM

Hmm, I was pretty happy with Gen V for the most part, and my favorite Pokemon were probably the Elgyem and Golette's families, with my least favorite being Stunfisk. It's just so ugly... *shiver*

TheAC29 May 7th, 2012 6:03 AM

My fave Pokemon is Oshawott, it evolves into an incredible starter pokemon in Gen 5.
My least fave is Klink and Alomomola, Klink's evolutions are simple especially the final form were they combine the 1st and 2nd form and Alomomola's design is exactly the same design of Luvdisc, but with added fins on the top and bottom.

Scorpiopt May 7th, 2012 12:45 PM

My Favorite so far is Zekrom , i dont dislike any of then
I wonder why bidoof is so hated

hinkage May 7th, 2012 1:42 PM

Excadrill, Volcarona, Reuniclus, and Cobalion are boss.

Watchog, (and some others I can't remember their names >_>) sucks.

ShinyZweilous CS May 7th, 2012 2:44 PM

My favourites are the Deino evolution
The worst are The Trash Pokemon, and The Timburr evolution.

NObody likes Bidoof because his deign is bad, his stats are horrible, and he is only good for an HM Mule.

My favourite new Pokemon was Zoroark. Awesome Ability, cool design, decent stats, and overall awesomeness.

I wasn't really fond of the starters when I first saw em. But they grew on me. Especially Snivy.

Oh yeah I WILL HATE PURRLOIN FOREVER! Horrible stats, boring design, unusable in battle, shallow movepool! It screams terrible. DEATH TO PUURLOINS.

The ironic thing is that I have a Shiny Liepard...

dyenguard May 7th, 2012 3:50 PM

I really like chandelure. It's design looks great alongside a shiny ninetales!

LittleSKY May 7th, 2012 5:55 PM

Hydreigon is one of the coolest Gen V pokemon has ever produced. While garbodor looks kinda....oh well :)

VioletRain May 7th, 2012 11:13 PM

Cobalion and Lilligant were my favourites to use. I adored the designs and movepools of both. My beloved Lilligant will always have a special place in my heart. xD

Also, being an avid collector of all things cute, I fell in love with Minccino.

I really hated Pidove and its evolutions, though. They were bland and generally awful. :(

Captain Fabio May 7th, 2012 11:56 PM

Favourite: http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen5/blackwhite_animated_front/628.gif

Look at how awesome it is. This bird is just a bad ass!

Most hated: http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww15/Mat_the_Werewolf/Pokemon%20Black%20and%20White%20sprites/593_f.gif

I think this just looks stupid! :(

Design wise there are worse , every pokemon has its usefulness even if its stats suck

MariotheMovie May 8th, 2012 4:29 PM

My favorite, for sure, is Oshawott. Oshawott is just awesome.

My least favorites have to be Woobat and Swoobat.
