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...



If you must know, I care not for competitive importance.

How I'd miss this guy? He'd be the first to go! Design is as bad as Trubbish.

Lugia's Shadow April 9th, 2013 12:14 AM

Purugly.
It's just a waste of space in a game that has so much better.

Demon Days April 9th, 2013 2:28 AM

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).

Squirrel April 9th, 2013 4:05 AM

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 :(

ABGamer April 9th, 2013 7:15 AM

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.

Gligar April 9th, 2013 8:13 AM

Definitely Purugly!
When I caught a glameow, I was sooo exited to see what it evolves in.
Right when it evolved I released it.

Happy Smiley Yum Yum April 9th, 2013 8:53 AM

Probopass. He reminds me of a stereotypical paedophile.

Nintendo goofed adding "probe" to its name, too.

Ugliest Pokemon ever.

Sabrewulf238 April 9th, 2013 12:34 PM

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.

Itstoppedatumbreon April 9th, 2013 1:05 PM

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.

Atomic Pirate April 9th, 2013 2:43 PM

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?

metal64meli April 9th, 2013 4:38 PM

Bastiodon, It's so ugly >.<
I guess Shieldon is fine, and I would even dare to say it looks cute.

Isn't Togekiss an OU Tank? If so, far from useless.

[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

curiousnathan April 9th, 2013 6:37 PM

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.

stp April 9th, 2013 8:17 PM

Rhyperior is the most useless thing in existence.

Palkia April 12th, 2013 12:00 AM

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.

JustChillin810 April 12th, 2013 3:58 PM

I would be okay with chatot if it actually evolved into something cool but since it doesn't it is a huge let down

RoreyG April 12th, 2013 5:40 PM

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.

Eruption April 12th, 2013 8:21 PM

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.

The Corrupt Plague April 12th, 2013 9:05 PM

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.

Zoegrace1 April 21st, 2013 8:41 PM

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?

Venusawr April 22nd, 2013 3:06 PM

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?
