They're irritating and make me grumble, but they don't get on my nerves as much. Those above are much more sinister and annoying. xD

Therizinosaurus June 29th, 2013 10:46 PM

i really didnt like Klink Klang and Klinklang, because they were so uninspired. but i really hated some of the starters

really dont like oshawott, it looks like it pulled out all its feathers

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/archive/3/3b/20100723190044%21501Oshawott.png = http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=8786&pictureid=71343



sorry about the huge image. i also instantly hated pignite and all that family, because im completely sick of fire fighting starters.

Rizardon June 29th, 2013 11:09 PM

Garbodor and Stunfisk
I don't really like the appearance of them.

man of steel June 29th, 2013 11:40 PM

all of them, as long as they are not kanto's
hmm but I do like the legendary one's zekrom and rashiram and that big guy emm I forgot his name, the one that is found in giant something

totally agree on everything you said, except for the Oshawott thing. Oshawott does NOT look like that chicken. xD Plus it's fine, but if you have a problem with re-sizing, check out Paint.NET. :P

Austin1395 June 30th, 2013 11:04 AM

Well...this'll take a while, so I'll just start from the beginning.

I do not like Pignite and Emboar one bit. Tepig is okay, but, those evolutions, nuh-uh. Hate 'em. I'm not a fan of Oshawott or Dewott either. I do not like Stoutland. It's ridiculous and out of place in that evolution line and I think it's stupid. I don't like Roggenrola. Woobat and Swoobat should have never been created to begin with. I have mixed feeling on Audino, along with Tympole and Palpitoad. The entire Sewaddle evolution chain. I don.t like Darmanitan and Maractus much either. Sigilyph is just...I don't even...just no. Cofagrigus is not great...at all. Trubbish and Garbodor are terrible. I used to not like the Gothita evo. chain but it has grown on me. The Vanillite evolution chain is terrible. Foongus and Amoongus suck too. Ferroseed and Ferrothorn are awful. Klink evolution chain is just terrible too. Stunfisk is awful and should have never been made.

Well, I guess that is all I have to complain about for the fifth generations Pokemon.

JayTheKing June 30th, 2013 11:12 AM

The only Pokemon i dont really like is Scraggy and Scrafty BUT it is not that i really hate them either(Not how i hate Skity for sure).

Austin1395 June 30th, 2013 11:37 AM

Honestly, I would hate Scraggy and Scrafty if it wasn't for my love for Dark-types.

T!M June 30th, 2013 4:59 PM

Simipour and Simisear. They both look foolish.

Ęℓαчиıı June 30th, 2013 6:36 PM

I'm surprised no one has said Patrat and Watchog. I just... cringe every time I have to fight one.

The ones I could do without are Heatmor, Durant, Trubbish and Garbador, Landros, Thundros, Tornados, Meloetta, Golett, Vanllish, Simisear, and Beartic. I liked a majority of the Pokémon Unova brought, though I wasn't too find of Sigilyph, at first. It has grown on me, honestly.

Khoshi June 30th, 2013 6:47 PM

I don't like Unfezant at all.
I never find a use for it on my teams, and it's one of those starter birds...also, its design isn't so great.

I disagree only partly. I don't mind the female Unfezant's design. The male's head piece though is just ridiculous looking. *blegh*

Austin1395 June 30th, 2013 6:54 PM

Unfezant is a bit iffy for me. I like it sometimes, then I don't. It's an odd Pokemon but, we get some of those every generation. Which, again is why I hate the people who hate the new Pokemon generations because of a few shortcommings when the first generation had its own too.

Haha, yeah, like Klinks evolution and Vullaby. I think a dark/flying type would've been awesome, but not when it looks like that.

JesterLegacy June 30th, 2013 10:25 PM

Well, if it's about my least favorite, it's got to be the Klinklang evolutionary line, they just look so....Meh. But still, I wouldn't call them useless...I just don't like them that much for some reason.

solaris knight July 1st, 2013 2:47 AM

Stunfisk. Seriously, just...why? Why does this thing exist?

Other than that I don't hate any pokemon from Gen 5 from a design perspective (though I am indifferent to a lot of them). Battlewise, though, I hate Ferrothorn.

Edit: Oh, wait, one other thing: Oshawott's final form. Seriously, why did they change his stance so much? He'd look so much more awesome if he stood up and used those shellblades he keeps stashed in those holsters on his limbs.

Well there is Murkrow and Honchkrow for Dark/Flying. I love Dark types though so I don't have any hate for Vullaby.

Sirfetch’d July 1st, 2013 11:04 AM

Druddigon for me as it was just UGLY. Sure, it's not a bad battler at all, but man they really hated that thing when they decided to design it. Worst dragon of all time.

Hikamaru July 1st, 2013 4:37 PM

Most of the Unova designs are actually among my favorites, but still I really hated Garbodor's design. The thing is ugly as heck, a stark contrast to the adorable Trubbish.

Tsutarja July 1st, 2013 4:49 PM

Going with Nichole, I really couldnt believe it when I saw Trubbish and Garbodor. I guess they ran out of ideas? xD

But another one I donb;t understand is Vullaby. I know it's based on a vulture, but it leaves me clueless on why they made it where Vullaby had to stay in its egg? I mean, was that inspired from Togepi?

Austin1395 July 2nd, 2013 4:35 PM

Well it isn't like Trubbish and Garbodor are the first "bag" Pokemon, we got that in Gen. 3. Going by that logic, they ran out of good ideas long ago. But, each generation has its goods and its bads.

Boilurn July 2nd, 2013 7:13 PM

Simipour is my least favorite of them all (Although the other monkeys are a close second). At the moment when I picked Snivy for my starter he never helped me win the third gym battle, always losing against Burgh's Leavanny.

Arlo July 6th, 2013 10:01 AM

The only pokemon that ever bother me are the ones that are relatively common, not terribly useful and because of some particular set of moves or ability, a hassle to battle. I don't even understand being offended by the way a pokemon looks or how it compares with past generations or all that jazz that so many other people seem to get worked up over.

So - the only ones that bother me in Unova are Tranquill (Detect / Roost) and Watchog (Confuse Ray / Super Fang).

Emerald_Fire July 6th, 2013 4:33 PM

My least favorite Unovian Pokemon have to be...

Patrat (Ratatta I can handle. These are just... WHY? Also Watchog)

Gothita and its family (Like Ralts, but they aren't even cute. SO MUCH EYES)

Durant (The Pokemon is awesome, but annoying in the wild. I'd use it on my teams, but by the time I can encounter them, my team overshadows their absolute terror and epicness).

Vullaby and its family (Freaky vulture things. Original, but I like Rufflet and its line better.)

The rest I'm fine with. I do have issues with Snivy in the games, but it's awesome in the anime. Keldeo also gives me issues (FOUR musket deers? There are only three musketeers, not four), but I haven't seen it yet, so...

Bobith July 6th, 2013 9:18 PM

Freaking Vanillish. God, I saw that disgrace to pokemon and facepalmed so hard I got a nosebleed. Also Kyurem, as it is extremely over-designed.

Haha, totally. xD Why does it seem Vanillish is the only Ice Type? Plus Kyurem was only annoying with his huge effort in design when other things were almost... effortless. :x

In the story of "The Three Musketeers", there are 4 musketeers.


Anyway, on topic, Klinklang and Cryoganal are atrocious.

Rai July 13th, 2013 10:19 PM

Scraggy and Scrafty. Everyone I know thinks Scraggy is cute, but I just don't like it. I think it is ugly and the whole skin/pants thing creeps me out. Scrafty is even uglier and creepy in my opinion. I also don't like Darumaka... And Emboar is so over-designed that I can't even look at it.

Druddigon is my bane. I hate it so bad it hurts. It is a stupid, cheap toy dragon which kids cut their fingers on, parents get angry then give it to the Second-Hand-Store. Really, I hate it so much... >:(

Yes, but putting thier type aside, doesn't Vullaby's design bother you? It's easier for a Pokemon to look lamer but not much uglier. That's just my opinion, though.

Did I mention Cofagrigus? I mean, what is up with that Pokemon! Its arms are the worst thing, but when you're battling him it looks like he has buck teeth. Yamask is no better.

This Pokemon... Ugh.

Brighten up, sis. Imagine it as a leprosy's baby wrapped in cloth and was given a mask because it was so butt ugly. xD

I am so insensitive... :X

.:batto:. July 16th, 2013 1:18 AM

i don't like unova as a whole. 90% of the pokemon are un-original and they don't look like they have put in any time in creating them visually.

HaiImNate July 23rd, 2013 7:47 PM

Shelmet because it's useless. Mosto f the others are at least threats in competitive battling, especially ferroseed and genesect. Lol I like a few of those too, like druddigon and ferroseed.

DirtyMiccino July 24th, 2013 10:28 AM

Purrloin
Patrat
Just to make things clear i love Purrloins speed but it dosent even look like a dark pokemon.
Patrat learns useless moves. why detect? it cant learn toxic.
Patrat is worse because of the fact that purrlion has GODLY Speed when it evolves.
And what is with the creativity on both of these. NINTENDO HAS GONE MAD!!!!!!

LilithFaye July 24th, 2013 10:37 AM

Garbador for sure, but most of all Basculin. Every three seconds when I was surfing one would pop up and it was just as frustrating as magikarp back in the day. Klink, Klang and Klinklang were dumb, too (also, WHY WOULDN'T THEY NAME THE LAST EVOLUTION "KLUNK"? kills me every time)

Moose July 24th, 2013 11:55 AM

Gotta be patrat and watchog for me. They were so annoying, with hypnosis and confuse ray. Their stats, appearance, and overall usefulness don't help them at all.

I hate the Patrat line for the exact same reasons.

TreeKangaroo July 27th, 2013 5:51 PM

Tanks. Particularly scraggy and scafty. I hate their designs, and typing. How are they dark type? They don't even look like thugs! And they're annoying with moxie. Oh and saying that gamefreak is running out of ideas is kinda unnecessary. We had: ALSO, the names of klink and its evos aren't even names! They're the tunes of the lavender town song! Now lavender town will be a joke.

Jellicent♀ July 27th, 2013 8:30 PM

...I love the Patrat line. ;A;

But anywho, I really dislike Victini, Samurott, Pan/Simi-pour, Tranquil/Unfezant, Leavanny, Basculin, Maractus, Darmanitan, Minccino, Cinncino, Solosis and his line, and Galvantula.

...I dislike a lot of them. .n.

classiccartoonsftw July 28th, 2013 1:10 AM

My most hated Pokemon of Unova are the Patrat line, Herdier, the Pansear line, the Panpour line, Tranquill, Unfezant, Garbodor, Basculin, and Emolga.

Darkrai666 July 28th, 2013 1:21 AM

the only pokemon I got a problem With is Genesect... Hate Genesect..I love the rest Im not a genwunner

Cerberus87 July 28th, 2013 6:43 AM

Boldore. Annoying to kill and spites you with Sturdy.

tnfsf11 July 28th, 2013 8:27 AM

My absolute hatred is for Klink & its evolutions, the idea isn't that bad considering that I like Magnemite, it could have been drawn better but it wasn't, unfortunately -_-
And Unfezant is kinda... repetetive. They could have made a better regional bird tbh.
Also Boldore, but I appreciate that they gave it a good color scheme. :)
I actually like Trubbish & Vanillite :P they could use some colors though...

Boldore. he just really likes to mess with my day. hahaha.

Seth Rollins July 28th, 2013 11:30 AM

oh my god Garboddor is the ugliest PKMN ever, so here's the loser of Unova. And he wasnt so good imo.

Whyvile July 28th, 2013 12:45 PM

Loser of Unova would have to be Emboar.

I... I really want to like him, I really do.

But the fact that he looks so much like Ganon, and yet he's not a Fire/Dark type, just... :(

I also utterly despise Whimsicott, though that's for more Meta reasons. I do like using him, and his design, but... uh.

miltankRancher July 29th, 2013 1:08 AM

I have been a fan of Pokemon almost my whole life. Ever since generation 1, hordes of Pokemon have had their turn in passing in front of me, having themselves assessed in terms of usability and design. Some passed through without a hitch, like Crobat, Metagross, Miltank, and Snorlax. Others passed barely. Unown and Lumineon to name a few. Nonetheless, they all passed. However, come the advent of generation V, I am sad to say I stopped one species in passing. It did not lived up to my standards and therefore it would never secure a spot in any of my team. Sure, its pre-evolution was good. It's design was simple and yet it's quite charming. Its older brother was just pure ugly.

Garbodor is a Pokemon I can never learn to accept. T.T

The Chrono July 29th, 2013 3:53 PM

Garbodor is extremely ugly, and I don't really understand Druddigon. I mean, what's his point? He's just a random lackluster Dragon. I like his design, too, so it bothers me that he is so nondescript.

TreeKangaroo July 29th, 2013 7:35 PM

I hate/like(when I'm using one) the axew line, not because in design but when I'm battling one, they're a pain, same with Druddigon. Oh, and eelektross is annoying with levitate and made me want to chuck my DS across a wall. Basically, I hate tanks unless I'm using one.


The white treehollow was annoying because almost all the pokemon were carrying berries so my SE attacks couldn't do too much. And the veterans in Drayden's gym were annoying. I wish you could just push them off!

Nakala Pri July 30th, 2013 12:43 AM

Druddigon is probably the most annoying Pokemon ever. It makes me want to scream my head off whenever I see it! It is so ugly! And Eelektross is pretty annoying too, as you said, but one cannot REALLY add it onto the list by its design, but more on its unwillingness to DIE ALREADY!!! xD

If you want Eelektross to die already, you should carry a Pokemon with Mold Breaker and Dig/Earthquake/Bulldoze in your team. I particularly recommend Haxorus or Pinsir.

BubbleBeams July 30th, 2013 10:07 AM

For me, I really am not a fan of Patrat/Watchog. I love Lillipup and Herdier, but I don't think that Stoutland was necessary, so I'm not a big fan of it.
I don't like the elemental monkeys, but I'm not a fan of monkeys in general.
I wasn't too thrilled with Pidove and it's evolutions.
Not a big fan of Darumaka/Darmanitan either.
I could have done without Garbodor, but it's not the worst Pokemon ever created.

Other than that I really loved most of the Gen V Pokemon.

Says the one with a 5th gen trainer as their avvie.:P

I don't like the genies, unless their in their therian(?) formes. They're the same but with different tails and colors. Oh and the other one you're thinking of is kyurem.

Nakala Pri July 31st, 2013 11:49 PM

The Fifth Generation Pokemon weren't so bad, but Game Freak didn't pour their love into it, like they did with Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander. I am heartily disappointed, but X/Y does look promising, which will hopefully bring back the magic! ^^

Red99 August 1st, 2013 6:08 AM

Considering every generation has had it's share of "useless" or "ugly" Pokemon, I'd say the only truly badly designed Pokemon in the Unova were Tepig, Pignite, Emboar and maybe Druddigon, just because they could have been awesome, but don't look quite so.

Yeah, and the new type combinations look awesome. Sure psychic/dark is x4 weak to bug, but most bug moves aren't that great. MAKE ELECTRIC/PSYCHIC, AND GHOST/PSYCHIC. And the pokemon(so far) don't make me want to vomit. Except maybe mewtwo's new form. 5th gen had a lot of cool, unique combinations too.

That would be the awesome.

Ace. August 3rd, 2013 1:22 AM

I don't like Trubbish. It's a weird Pokemon and it's design is uuh weird. I also hated Basculin cause it was an ugly old mad fish haha.

The basculin thing is really true, especially since they're fast and can hit pretty hard.

yeahhhboiii August 3rd, 2013 11:12 PM

The Simi-Pan group. Awful.
Druggion. Can't stand it.
Stunfisk's cry sounds like 2 hours after Taco Bell, Herdier looks like it needs mental help, Vullaby makes me regret playing Pokemon, Emboar is ugly, Accelgor pisses me off.
Game Freak
Wat r u doing
Game Freak

Despite these White 2 is my favorite game ever.

Aeroblast August 4th, 2013 5:31 AM

Vanillite and its evolutions grind my gear. Not only do they look weird, but they also have that stupid smile that makes anybody want to just do it in.

Trubbish and Garbordor... they're just what they are, pile of trash.

DakRo7 August 4th, 2013 8:38 AM

Klink and its designand high defense makes me rage everytime

LyokoGirl5000 August 4th, 2013 9:44 AM

Basculin. Every time I surf, Basculin. Every time I fish, Basculin. I want some good Water types!

Oh my god thank you.

Like, oh my flipping dog, Basculin's sheer existence is... pointless. All it has going for it in design is... alternating color schemes? And as for attacking? Well, I can see it being Rough Skin Fodder, after a quick Aqua Jet, but that's still worthless!

Nakala Pri August 6th, 2013 12:18 AM

Basculin is unusually powerful, for some reason. Some reason 'Take Down' is far more powerful then usual, like if you use 'Leer' Basculin will soon be slapping your face with it's tail, for crying out loud! xD Well, my analogies lack awesomeness, so don't mind me. :X

Nolafus August 6th, 2013 12:34 AM

Not a lot of pokemon are ugly to me, but there are a few in gen 5 that didn't exactly win me over.

Garbodor/Trubbish - It's been stated a million times before, they tried...
Druddigon - Yeah, the design just didn't click with me.
Vullaby/Mandibuzz - I felt like they could have looked so much better.
Watchog - Those eyes, those creepy eyes...

Cassandra August 6th, 2013 9:38 AM

I should have known a lover of gen 5 should not have come here...

Vanillite 4 life

Apple Juice August 6th, 2013 9:48 AM

Garbodor was a unique concept, that's for sure. I would also venture to say that some more thought could've gone into the Vanillite line designs. Other than that, I thought Unova contained some rather nice concepts and most of the pokemon were aesthetically pleasing to me.

Volcarona August 7th, 2013 4:48 PM

I was having a random battle on the battle server today when I had Klank on my team. I thought it was the final evolution, but nope, it was the middle stage. What was the point of this family line? It gains more gears upon evolution... It could have stopped at one evolution. Its final evo is still very weak. I dunno, I just expect a little more versatility or utility when the Pokemon has two evolutions.

Same with the ice cream family, I can hardly spell their names and know their differences. They gain ice creams cones! What.... Kinda cool Pokemon, unimaginative family line with weak stats overall. Vanillish was a pain to raise. I wanted to like him, but I couldn't despite raising him to level 50. :c

Oh, Druddigon was the Pokemon of the day, but he is okay. Although he's an eyesore, he's never disappointed me as much as the Klink/Vanillish families.

Aslan August 7th, 2013 6:12 PM

I hate Stoutland. Lillipup and Herdier are absolute cuties and I was expecting a lot from its final evolution when nope, this huge odd-defying dog appears with a grumpy face. I just hated it and was completely unimpressed. It was way too big for my liking and no dog should be that size. Ever. Swoobat just makes me sigh in exasperation, the concept was okay but the design wasn't the best thing I've ever seen. Garbodor is just... well garbage. Apart from being a bag of trash its just uncreative, it wins the prize of worst Pokemon of that generation. Arguably though, I felt that Seismitoad and the monkeys also looked terrible. They weren't very fun Pokemon to use either to be honest.

Kyros August 7th, 2013 6:27 PM

Muk, Garbodor, whats the difference, they're both piles of human waste. I always hated Beartic just for being a wannabe Ursaring.

Haha, Stoutland was kinda disappointing, but then again... super powerful, good defense, attack, EVERYTHING! xD Lilipup is just like an average puppy, but then again... I LOVE PUPPIES!! :D

Livewire August 7th, 2013 10:44 PM

Aside from like, Garbodor and Sawk/Throh, I really did not care for the starters, at all. Especially Emboar. You couldn't pay me enough to use one.

youcantseeme_17 August 9th, 2013 9:22 AM

Don't hate on garbodor. Even that its ugly, its better than the loved grimer. Grimer doesn't even have a design. It's just purple goo with a face! You think unova had no ideas? Kanto didnt either.

I used to really like emboar but ya he is pretty ugly

jfuze174 August 9th, 2013 10:34 AM

There were so many misses in Unova except for the axew and sandile family and semisage I hope the artist come up with better ideals for XY so far so good though I like some of the new pokes

PS I found all the starters cool they just had sucky move pools

HeyLoro August 9th, 2013 10:40 AM

Have to disagree. I used to hate on Unova's Pokedex as well. But now I like it's quirky-ness. Except for Trubbish. Makes me roll my eyes everytime I see it.
I love Oshawott & Snivy. Tepig is eh. Emboar's shiny form is cool, I'll admit.

CliCliW August 9th, 2013 12:11 PM

While 5th gen, imo has some AWESOME designs, there are some bad ones too, most of which are already mentioned :)

Emboar,
Vanillite and family,
Cubchoo (I hated the ice snots :( )
Maractus
Stunfisk
Druddigon

In fact I'm not entirely gone on any of the gen 5 starters, they're just meh...

*Icecold* August 10th, 2013 11:02 AM

I think Emboar's design is awesome! And he's pretty good at battling too.

But almost every Pokémon's designs in these games are unimpressive.

For example....

Pidove. It's a grey bird. Okay... no colors? Pidove and Starly have varying colors, but not you I guess.

Lillipup. Brown Yorkie puppy. No interesting colors.

Sandile. Crocodile. Brown and black. Moving on.

Klink. Two gears. Wow impressive.

Vannilite. I love you, but you are ice cream and I cannot deny that that was a horrid idea to make a Pokémon out of. Vanniluxe looks fine, but ice cream.

Trubbish. Garbordor is colorful and unique. Trubbish? Garbage bag with hands.

Swanna. A white swam with swan-like features and swan feet. Not a blue duck. What happened?

etc. etc. A lot of the Pokémon are bland with black, brown, grey and pale pink color schemes that scream boring at full volume. The cool-looking ones are either inanimate objects or animals.

What happened to the original designers? To the Pokémon that were based off an animal and didn't really look like it (Kangaskhan, Sandslash, etc.)? The cool colors? The exaggeration of real animals today?

I DON'T SEE IT!

Thanks for all the feed-back guys, very appreciated! :D I hope this thread reaches over a hundred posts. xD

XeroNos August 12th, 2013 11:44 PM

It's not a fault of Unova alone to produce useless pokes. Every Region has some low rated Pokemons. Mine from Unova are :
Klink family, Ferroseed family, Escavalier, Yamask , Vanillux, Cryogonal, Garbodor family etc

Palkia August 17th, 2013 7:44 AM

Most of the Pokémon from gen 5 are real losers for me.

Pretty much all the legendaries apart from Reshiram and Zekrom I dislike due to most of them being largely unnecessary. (Was Keledo really that important?)

Kuyrem was the worst. It looked like a turkey which had horrible freeze burn. The fusions were a joke too, just a pile of random spikes and some stupid looking wires that make it look like something you want to put out of it's misery.

The starters were also really bad. There final evolutions looked bad and they were poor in battle.

The psuedo-starters was irredeemable. They look like awful Nick Jr mascots, are horrible in battle and we already have a fire-type monkey pokémon, which in turn ripped off another pokémon's typing.

Then there were the poorly though out ones. Stuff like Cryogonal (A oversized snowflake), Klink (Two gears :O) and Druddigon (Useless and hideous).

At least there was a couple good ones like Volcarona and the Braviary for me to enjoy using at the very least, but for me, this generation was a lot more misses than hits in the new pokémon department.

Hiatus August 17th, 2013 9:26 AM

Like most people, I didn't like Garbodor at all. It was a huge pile of garbage, literally. Due to the same reason, I also didn't like Trubbish. The Pokémon that I did like are Scrafty, Musharna, Victini, Serperior, Zoroark, Petilil, and Minccino. Some of them are cute, and the others are useful in battle.

大輔 August 17th, 2013 2:50 PM

I hope this counts as an option, but to me I really don't think any of the pokemon have a purely 'terrible' design. A lot of the pokemon are also based on the regional structure. Unova was heavily based around the New York area ( ie America ). For example, does America really have dragon folklore to base any of the dragon pokemon off of? Not really? So obviously Druddigon was actually not a bad design considering that there wasn't anything to base it around beside a link to how European dragons might've looked like. Vanillite, ok has anyone ever seen it without the snow on top? It's actually a pure ice pokemon with snow around it's face. That's the same with it's evolutions as well:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/ef/Snowless_Vanillite.png

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/72/Snowless_Vanillish.png

Waffle cone ice cream is popular in america, so why not design a pokemon around the shape and structure? It makes sense. People who are saying Lillipup, seriously, it's a dog... we don't have a dog pokemon yet that is actually based on a 'real' dog. Arcanine and Growlithe don't really count, because they are based around chinese folklore. It kind of makes sense to bring a dog based pokemon into the series finally. Garbador, please... it kind of makes sense to have a garbage pokemon if we have a pokemon based off of pure waste already. Plus, since Unova has many big cities, ( Castelia, Nimbasa, Driftveil, etc ). New York = Lots of trashcans. There are many many more examples of this to be honest... so why not just catch the pokemon you feel comfortable with and move on!

Fernando Torres August 17th, 2013 6:09 PM

Every single generation they have a Pikachu rehash. They always never evolve, and are usually worse than Pikachu. This time the made Emolga. I liked the others but Emolga is really stupid. They should stop ripping off Pikachu with these terrible ideas. Emolga you went to far. Besides Emolga I guess Gothitelle and Alamomala (however you spell it) are pretty bad. Garbodor is iffy as well.

alisaie August 18th, 2013 10:49 PM

Cryogonal is probably my least favorite out of Unova's Pokemon followed by Druddigon. There are others that I'm not too fond of like Alomomola (seriously think this should have been a Luvdisc evolution still) but a few that have been listed here I do like so haha. To each their own!

morrison August 19th, 2013 2:21 AM

deponitox . it is called UNRATUTOX in German try saying that it is way too long and it is a frigging tonguebreaker. (refusbatox)

Hey! Why is everyone dissing the squirrel? >:c Emolga happens to be adorable, speedy, quite powerful in Elesa's hands and is an absolute charm for the contests. :P

Anyway, yeah Klink and Klang were sort of appalling, Klinklang wasn't too bad though. Trubbish and Garbodor were awful, I mean, rubbish bags? Honestly? Not a big fan of Munna either, even though that one's mostly a throw back to other generations. Oshawott and Samurott make my brain explode. Oshawott because it just looks ugly, and Samurott because I don't think it looks anything like the rest of its evolution set. Dewott's alright though, well, not an eyesore anyway. Cryogonal... just, what? A big snowflake? Okay, whatever.

Most of the other Gen V Pokémon are just sort of meh. There are some nice ones though.

Shrew August 24th, 2013 8:24 PM

Let me break out the list of all Unova pokemon...

Emboar - The only thing piglike about this thing is its nose.
Samurott - I like this dude, but it was too drastic from Oshawott/Dewott.
Patrat/Watchog - It offered nothing new to the starter rodents (compared to Bibarel having a unique typing, Linoone having Extremespeed, Furret offering cuteness, yet Raticate was already vicious and Sentret was already a scout pokemon.) Also, the yellow jacket looked tacky.
Stoutland - the fur colors are unnecessary
Too Many Primates- Gen IV introduced 4 primates, and this generation introduced 8...
Unfezant - Male's too flamboyant, female's too dull.
Seismitoad - A water/ground blue frog introduces nothing new compared to all the other amphibians in the game
Gothitelle - Why not 100% female? How is this not Psychic/Dark? (inb4 next gallade)
Ferrothorn - Hideous. Btw is anyone even reading this?
Klinklang - Gears are a cool idea, but this looks too objectlike
Beeheeyem - Elgyem was cool, but becoming brown made it seem less high-tech
Accelgor - Should have had a dual-type like Escavalier
Kamis - aka palette swaps

I liked the story, geography, and gameplay of Black/White, but it has a fair share of pokemon which I dislike.

metalhand August 25th, 2013 3:19 AM

I never really hated a pokemon, till gamefreak introduced stunfisk, this thing make me want to puke. I really like to know what they thought when they create this thing...

chimpact August 25th, 2013 6:58 PM

the starters were just unimpressive in general and i didnt like the klingklang family. dunno what they were thinking of when they made that lol.

Nakala Pri August 27th, 2013 2:25 AM

The starters were fantastic, if anything! Tepig is fantastic, Oshawott is also fantastic, Snivy is... cool? I dunno, but all I do know, is I want HAM! :D

Amore August 27th, 2013 4:50 AM

The starters were meh. Not bad, kinda like Oshawott and family, and as usual all 3 first stages (Oshawott, Tepig and Snivy) were great. But Fire/Fighting irritated me, even if a slow fire-type made a change.

Many pokémon I'm not a fan of...but to be fair, they did introduce a whole new set of 151. There's probably a similar number that I don't really like from Kanto too. Trubbish is one of them though.

Sabrewulf238 August 27th, 2013 10:34 AM

How.....how could you have Cofagrigus on that list? Cofagrigus is easily the best 5th gen pokemon, It's a freaking Egyptian sarcophagus. Accelgor is great too.

The only 5th gen pokemon that kinda bothers me is Palpitoad, it looks so weird. I've learned to tolerate it though. I'm not that keen on the simis either. Every other 5th gen pokemon outside those four I can appreciate to varying degrees.

Overall I liked the 5th gen designs, second only to the 3rd gen pokemon.
