What was the most dissapointing Pokemon in Gen IV?
With a thread like this about the Fifth Generation, I think the Fourth deserves one too! \o/
So, simply put: What was the most dissapointing Pokemon you found to be or used while playing through the games? With the variety of Pokemon mostly easily accessable - (Mainly HGSS), there is a lot to choose from, so I really do have a list of pokemon that I found useless and dissapointing -- Dusparance (not surprisingly) being one of them. |
... SpiritTomb? That's the start of the inanimate object POKeMON.
|
I never really found any of the Pokemon I used to be bad. I never use certain Pokemon because I can clearly see which ones are going to be decent and which ones are going to be garbage.

Carnivine. It's got such a cute design but it totally sucks. ):
|
Shieldon. Always seemed inferior to Cranidos, and probably because I prefer the more offensive strategies to the defensive ones.

But he's a ghost. You know, ghosts tend to possess things (in fiction). Geodude on the other hand isn't a ghost.
My point is, Spiritomb isn't the first inanimate object Pokemon. They had them since the beginning. |
No, Spirittomb was the first of the lame ones. Like Icecream, chandeliers etc. Geodude was is a BAMF. So~rry. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg201/scaled.php?server=201&filename=bobdylan.gif&res=crop

pachirisu. It was such a generic pokemon.

For me the most unappealing not necessarily ones I dislike, but just didn't click for me were the Finneon line and Carnivine. Never used them so I can't say how useless they are. |

I found Bronzor/Bronzong an absolute pain to carry around. I was also disappointed by Driflblim and Lumineon. |

I remember seeing Buneary and I went "Oh, it's so cute".
I decided to train one and hopefully raise its happiness to get a Lopunny but then... I found myself losing happiness rather than gaining it cos I found my poor Buneary falling so easily. Yeah, what a letdown was that! I also loved Lumineon's design but it stats really are garbage. |

I also have used a Buneary to great succes, in my first run through of Diamond she was what I would call my wildcard, with a multitude of different attacks. I find Lopunny as an incredibly usefull pokemon.
To answer the topic, probably the biggest dissapointment to me was Ambipom. His wacky appearance coupled with a dissapointing move set just made him not live up to my expectations. |
The Pokemon introduced in gen4 were actually better than expected, or at least heaps better than the Pokemon introduced in Black and White. I don't remember being especially disappointed with any Pokemon in gen4. Maybe I should play through Platinum again to refresh my memory~

I liked a lot of the new-for-Gen IV Pokemon, but thought the Shellos/Gastrodon line was very, very overrated. Especially considering that Cynthia had one in her DP team, and it's barely a glorified Quagsire, let alone a glorified Whiscash/Swampert. That one was definitely a disappointment. And out of all the evolutions of previous Gen Pokemon, Ambipom was definitely the most useless and disappointing. I forgot it even existed before looking at Bulbapedia, it's made that much of an impression on me! :D
