If you could erase any Sinnoh Pokemon from existence...
...which one would it be? Why? Is your decision based off that Pokemon's aesthetics? Movepool? Competitive capabilities?
Discuss! |
Combee. Does evolve into a decent pokemon, but I really think Combee is an ugly pokemon XD
|
Hmm to be quite honest, running the list of Sinnoh Pokemon through my head I can't see one that I'd like to get rid of, but if I had to make a decision it would definitely be Burmy. I can see Game Freak trying to think of something creative and it's concept was interesting but, it's design was rubbish. I think that's an unintentional pun right there but yeah to get to the point Burmy overall is absolutely awful. It's stats are awful, the overall design isn't particularly great and there's nothing much I personally like about it.
Also Combee is the cutest Pokemon in existence. :( |

Anywho, I would get rid of infernape, just because it is a fire/fighting and I hate them :| |
Ohohohoo. The list I have here. But, I'll just post one.
Bidoof: I understand that allot of people like this Pokemon for some reason, but he was never good on my team and his evolution looks pretty dumb... so does Bidoof itself... Actually, I think this of most early game normal types. |
Can I erase Probopass from existence for looking absolutely ridiculous? It's actually a decent Pokemon, but I could never find myself using it just because of its design.
The only other Pokemon I think I might erase is Heatran. Gen IV really felt like it started to add more and more legendaries just for the sake of it, and Heatran is one of those in my eyes. I almost considered Regigigas, too, but at least it has some connection to other legendaries, unlike Heatran, who's just kind of there. |
I would erase Burmy, its movepool is terrible and it evolves into terrible Pokemon as well.
|
If I could erase one shinnoh pokemon it would be Mime Jr. It has no point in the game as Mr.Mime REALLY did not need a pre-evolution. Plus it is Ugly.
|
I could go on for days talking about all of the ones I would get rid of. But the top 5 ones i would get rid of is; 5 chingling, there is no real point to this pokemon, it's moves are terrible and the stats are bad to. 4, pachirisu, this pokemon is basically a copy of a pikachu, also it's moves aren't nearly as good as picaku's. We don't need another over rated pokemon that everyone loves so much. 3, the whole kricketot family, what bug has a handle bar mustache and the only good move that kricketune can learn is x-scissor. 2, mime jr. and bonsly. why must the sinnoh region add an evolution to EVERY pokemon, these are just terrible pre- evolution forms. 1, happiny, why is he even here. All that you have to do is level up happiny one with an oval stone and he evolves into a useful Chansey. 1.5, phione, he is just a copy of manaphy. He doesn't show up in any of the manga, and I though he was at least the pre- evolution to manaphy but no, he is a totally different pokemon.
I honestly don't hate the sinnoh region, I just think that they made a lot of pointless evolutions. Some of my favorite pokemon are from the sinnoh region, like lucario. |
I like most of the Sinnoh Pokémon. Only one I'd erase is Phione, because it's kinda pointless.
|
omg can I only get rid of one? I have a few so too bad. If you love gen IV Pokemon, you can just skip my post lol. :P
Lickilicky Just because of the name. I mean, how could this name pass? You can never talk about this Pokemon in public, because people will think you're talking about like...naughty things! I had someone on the bus ask me to trade him one and omg talk about awkward. ;___; Grotle It just looks...uncomfortable. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I mean look at it. It's all hunched over and just looks like it's in pain and omg its face blehhh. Burmy Like everyone else said, this guy can go. The concept was interesting, but it came out ugly and just...idk it's gimmicky. However, I like Wormadam and Mothim. They're not fantastic, but I think it would have made more sense to skip Burmy and just have Wormadam and Mothim as completely unrelated Pokemon. Burmy doesn't even look like Mothim so...wtf? lol Phione Again, this one has already been mentioned as being pointless, and it really is. It was basically like GameFreak said "Quick, let's shove in one more legendary into this gen that already has a ton of them!" And with that, you get the most useless legendary in the whole series. I guess it's neat that it comes from Manaphy and Ditto breeding, but still, not worth the gimmick. MALE Combee Seriously, I don't see the point in making a Pokemon that has a low chance of being female...and the only Combee that evolve have to be...female. That's a kick in the face if I ever saw one. Why even have males? Just have them all female. I guess it's more logical to have many male Combee because that's similar to real bees, but let's not TRY to put logic in a game where ten year olds go off on adventures with wild beasts. I think Combee is adorable, but Lord, the males can just go. They're worthless. Really. Ambipom There are udders on its tails and that's all I'm going to say. That's all. Okay. Yup. Udders. Bye. I think that's all I got for now. In making this list, I never realized how gimmicky a lot of the Pokemon are. Cherrim's ability is gimmicky too, which I like Cherrim so I don't want it to be gone, but yeah. I digress though. |

Bibarel! Bidoof is somewhat okay but Bibarel is just dumb-looking and his attacks are weak. I only have him on my team for the HMs like Cut, Strength, and Rock Smash.
|
Burmy line for starters. They are largely forgettable and fairly useless, their gimmick is poor and the 'better' option of Mothim is... also poor and rather too close to already existing, superior options (butterfree? beautifly? uh...).
If I had to choose another then it'd be maybe one of the pre-evolutions/evolutions of previous gen Pokemon, as some didn't appear to me much in design nor prove to be a useful addition with battling prowess. Bidoof? Keep it! Maybe that encounter rate was a bit too high, but it was wonderful as a HM slave and with the right amount of derp to it too. Who needs a boring forgettable HM slave when you can use one with buck teeth and a vacant expression? |
Erase as in having never existed, or just erase it from current time so I'll never have to see it again :D
I'd say, if the Pokemon was to never have existed, I'd honestly choose Arceus. Like, I like it as a Pokemon and all, but I just feel like having an actual God Pokemon just seems a bit over the top, and has potentially ruined how superior any future legendaries can feel. I mean, for the longest time, Mewtwo was known as the strongest Pokemon alive (even if it wasn't), and all that was ruined when Arceus came along. And no Pokemon can ever really live up to the God of all Pokemon, even if it too was to be considered a God Pokemon. I just feel like it ruined the future of legendary Pokemon. |
Quote:
Its possibly my only choice for removing, at least removing from the Manaphy relation if anything. I didn't see the point of finally allowing a Legendary to breed only to create a weaker legendary baby. Leave it as a weak stand alone, but I'd erase Phione's relation to Manaphy if not Phione itself. |
Definently Bidoof and chatot. i cannot stand either of them. Not to mention mime jr. aswell.
|
Skuntank. For aesthetics primarily. It's a giant skunk with its main feature being it's raunchy posterior and morbid smell that has a farting sound as its cry.
ಠ_ಠ |

Anyway, it's hard for me to just pick one, there's a few I really want to get rid of. Like Burmy and Purugly. But if I have to pick just one, I would get rid of Heatran. It's pretty much pointless and doesn't fit with the Pokedex to me. It has no significance to the plot of DDPt and seems like one of those Pokemon that Gamefreak gave Legendary status just to add another Legendary. And I only catch it just cause it is a Legendary Pokemon and is rare. |
Quote:
I think I just don't like it because I have a weird mental hangup with anything perceived to smell bad. |
I like Heatran!
I always imagined that it started off as a weak Pokémon and the toughness of the mountain and the area made it tougher and tougher until it eventually became the most powerful there. Not to mention I love that part of the game for some reason. It always reminded me of Death Mountain from the Ocarina of Time. As for Pokémon that I'd 'get' rid off, I'd have to agree with Burmy. Cool idea, poor executed. |
Either Burmy, who is pretty self-explanatory, or Porygon-Z, when Porygon2 was already decent to begin with.
|
Infernape.
It's the only pokemon in the 4th gen that I can't stand. The 4th gen is my least favourite for pokemon but I can't say I have many dislikes from that gen....it's just a lot of "meh". |
Definitely purrgly (whatever the spelling is). It's ugly, oberpowered, stupid, and looks like an obese maid. I love glameow though. It's awesome.
|
Lesse.
Turtwig Line Chimchar Line Purugly Skuntank (although quite a charismatic evil Poke) Bronzor Line Spiritomb Croagunk Line Carnivine Because they either a) look horrible, or b) are useless. DPPt had the worst starters of all generations, even compared to Hoenn with Treeko and Mudkip. Between both generations, the bird starters - Piplup and Torchic - were the only aesthetically-pleasing ones. Hoenn only beats DPPt because of the whole Mudkip meme. |
Quote:
*earthquakes the poop out of Yushhin* Torterra is a beast. Better than any armor-wearing obese penguin. |
Ambipom. I always thought Aipom's design with its creepy udder tail was scary, I died a little when I saw Ambipom for the first time because it just doubles the number. And retains that lifeless grin. I think it's legit given me nightmares before. :( I just wish so much that it didn't exist at all.
|
Why didn't they get rid of this guy long ago... could've saved a lot of trouble.
Here is this troublemaker, the worst IMO, since he's too ugly. For aesthetic reasons, I wish I could erase... Spoiler:
If you must know, I care not for competitive importance. |
Quote:
|
Purugly.
It's just a waste of space in a game that has so much better. |
Can I pick the whole Chimchar line? They're so bloody ugly, and were the starter of what may possibly be a Fire/Fighting tradition (the Torchic line was original).
|
Probopass. Just oh god ew. That thing is... beyond redemption! With most ugly Pokémon I can see some merit to their design and usually even find some cuteness behind them, but Probopass just doesn't do it for me at all. Why would they give a floating lump of rock and steel a moustache :(
|
Definitely want to get rid of chatot, just annoying no point to it, if anything they shouldn't have even put it into the movie.
|
Definitely Purugly!
When I caught a glameow, I was sooo exited to see what it evolves in. Right when it evolved I released it. |
Probopass. He reminds me of a stereotypical paedophile.

I'm kind of sad to see all the Burmy hate. I thought he was really cute and funny in the anime. (I didn't really watch the Diamond & Pearl anime but Burmy was in one of the episodes I did watch) I loved the animes depiction of Burmy always shedding it's leaves and becoming distraught.
Sure I never used him in the actual games but that's true for a lot of bug types not just Burmy. The more I think about it the more I struggle to come up with a good reason to remove a pokemon, even those that are generally disliked by the community have their fans. (and really some of the more disliked pokemon might just have a vocal minority, with the silent majority liking or at least being tolerant of it) It wouldn't feel right to actually make a decision like that. It seems kind of petty. |
Id get rid of Arceus. There is no way they can create a Pokemon More Powerful than God itself, so Arceus is really just it.
|
For starters, I'd slim down the number of legendaries, so I'd remove:
-Darkrai -Cresselia -Arceus -Heatran -Manaphy -Phione And for being utterly useless and forgettable, I'd say goodbye to: -Finneon -Lumineon -Carnivine -Combee -Vespiquen -Pachirisu And for being pointless, no more: -Togekiss -Giratina-O -Shaymin-S -Munchlax -Happiny -Rhyperior -Rhyperior -Rhyperior -Rhyperior -Rhyperior Seriously, who would look at Rhydon, a giant, hulking, intimidating, Godzilla-like rhino and say "Yeah, this needs an evolution." I mean, why in hell does Rhydon, an already badass and fully evolved-looking Pokemon, get an evolution, but a Pokemon like Dunsparce or Pinsir not get one? |
Bastiodon, It's so ugly >.<
I guess Shieldon is fine, and I would even dare to say it looks cute. |
Quote:
[Edit]Smogon Haven't looked at it in a while. I guess it's UU now since BW. Last time I checked, it was OU. [/endEdit] Happiny isn't useless either. Aside from Audino, it was a huge EXP splurge lol |
It's funny how so many people say "I hate Purugly, it shouldn't exist because it's so ugly blahblahhfdjfie", when, isn't that the whole concept of the Pokemon? Haha.
|
Rhyperior is the most useless thing in existence.
|
Jumping on the 'kick Rhyperior out' train. Why did Rhydon even need a evolution in the first place? The only good thing about Rhyperior is that Rhydon could use the evolite and boost it's defenses because of it not being fully evolved.
I would've preferred a pre evolution on to Rhyhorn imo, at least it doesn't make a decent Pokemon useless and uglified. |
I would be okay with chatot if it actually evolved into something cool but since it doesn't it is a huge let down
|
I know I'm gonna get a lot of flak for this but I'm gonna have to say Piplup.
My disdane for this Pokemon stems primarily from the anime and how infuriatingly annoying Dawn's Piplup was. Most people fawn over how 'cute' it is but in my opinion, if you have to try that hard to make people notice how 'cute' you are (I refer to all of its so called antics), then all you are being is a massive attention seeker. As a character trait, this is repulsive to me. For something to be considered 'cute' in my book, it has to be genuine; the cuteness has to be subtle. For instance, take Ash's Cyndaquil and Totodial. Cyndaquil was introverted and it had to learn to be more brave. How the anime handled this gave Cyndaquil a certain charm and endeared you to it. Totodial, on the other hand, was very curious and enthusiastic. It's enthusiasm was genuine and infectious and it was handled in such a way to give Totodial a certain charm and endearment, like Cyndaquil. Like I said, deliberately trying to make oneself the center of attention is an ugly character trait to have. It was seen in Ash's Chikorita/ Bayleef (but to a much lesser extent) and I find now even more so in his Oshawott (which the writers seem to want to make into an exact clone of Piplup). If you find these characters as they are to be adorable, more power to ya. They just don't seem to work for me at all on any level. |
Magmortar, it ruined Magmar with its absolutely terrible design. Its belly just makes it look really bad to me for some reason, whether its the in-game sprite or the official art.
After that, I'd definitely clear out the pointless pre-evolutions. |
Happiny: I'd hit it with a sledgehammer.
Pachirisu: Never liked that squirrel. Pikachu is better anyway. Phione: Could have been okay as a pre-evolution but oh well. Now it's useless. |
Hmmm...
I don't do anything competitive, so i'll determine on design and (kind of) stats. Probopass: Nosepass needed a evolution, but what did science do to Nosepass? |
I agree with many of you on Probopass and Burmy...but the one Pokemon that jumps out in my mind is Spiritomb! I'll admit it's got a cool typing, but in my opinion it looks like an unappetizing purple cookie. I think it has the worst design of all Ghost Pokemon thus far. I've never bothered to catch one...perhaps it could benefit from a more appealing evolution?
|
Garchomp - while certainly not the worst design, most others at least do not show up in competitive battles much.
Honorable mentions: Magmortar, Lickilicky, Tangrowth, Empoleon, Purugly, Chatot, Luxray-line |
Bronzong, for looking weird and being truly annoying enemy Pokemon.
|
Bidoof... Kill it please. Whenever I see one in the wild, I think to run. But then I get a better idea. KO it so that the abomination no longer roams the Pokéverse. I hate Bidoof so much; it's design, it's cry, it's encounter rate. I'd erase it, and it's hideous evolution.
|
Phione, as a few others above me said. I would've liked it if it was able to evolve into Manaphy, but I can understand why GameFreak did it.
|
Even though I used him I could never really give any love to bronzor. He just was never aesthetically pleasing to me and did not really ever seem to fit into my team other than just a meat stick. I like their idea of putting out his type early, but it just felt half hearted and not fully thought out. Could just be my play style though.

I often find myself hating on the sinnoh pokemon (for good reasons) since I'm kind of an old school player. I was pretty happy with the Hoenn pokemon at first, and after a while they grew on me, and now they're just an integral part of pokemon. I feel sort of the same about the Sinnoh pokemon. There's a few that I could do without. I don't really care for any of the starter pokemon. I think Starley's family is just a copy of Pidgey, and bidoof is just another zigzagoon. I am not totally against new pokemon, because I think some of them are neat, like Dusknoir, Magnezone or a few others. I just can't take them making MORE pokemon after this. I haven't even felt the desire to play B/W for that reason...
|
Burmy. It's just a stupid Pokemon with very weak stats, and it's design doesn't really make any sense either.
|
Bidoof
All Bidoof is is either an early-game annoyance or a future HM slave. By eliminating Bidoof, we also remove Bibarel, which is an equally awful Pokemon. Both are incredibly painfully common and once you've caught one, you really don't want to encounter any more. Yet the game throws them at you anyway. |
Chingling. It's cute but totally unnecessary and not memorable whatsoever. I honestly forget this guy exists sometimes. v_v;
|
Probopass... what the @#$%& is that mustache?
|
Burmy and ESPECIALLY Bidoof, they are just so annoying...
|
Hm.. To be honest: the first ones I'd relieve the game of would be Purugly, Magmortar, Ambipom, the finneon line, Probopass and Lickilicky. I'm not really all to fond of these. All of them save the Finneon line don't really look all that good on the eye. And to me, Magmortar seems a little out of place - It doesn't seem to fit all that well into the Magmar line like Electevire fits into the Electebuzz line. Finneon line just appears as useless as Ratatta to me in all honesty (that's because I had an Empoleon - which is a BOSS pokemon).
In terms of battle stats and all that, I'd say Infernape - having leveled it to 100, its attack and speed are all good, but its DEFENCE good lord - even when I bought god knows how many Irons it didn't really do too much. I'm not all that sure on the Rotom-Possessed Appliances either... I was stuck on the fact that Rotom gaining a second type after losing it's ghost type ability was something stupid or something unique... Besides that really, I can't think of too many Pokemon I want removing |
Tangrowth and Lickilicky.
Two uneccessary evolutions and I just do not like their sprites or their anything else. |
