100 posts! ^^ Thank you all for this high honor! Well, for me anyway. xD

THANK YOU~

5th Generation Pokemon that I'm not too fond of include:

Snivy - Servine - Serperior
Tepig - Pignite - Emboar
Simipour (I find it's sprite annoying, we're battling!)
Foongus - Amoonguss (just because it trolls me in the overworld!)

I only liked using the water starter, I don't mind Trubbish and Vanillite lines at all. I can understand how people dislike them, there are much better choices to choose from in-game.
It's difficult to find Pokemon I'd like to use native to Unova. They're either too difficult to use due to their stats and movepool or available too late in the game...

Nakala Pri August 28th, 2013 10:59 PM

Tepig? Why Tepig? It is so gorgeous and cuddly and I want one! ^^ And a Pikachu, maybe a Snorlax, a Virizon or two. xD

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 3rd, 2013 2:14 PM

I don't really hate them but I dislike:

Stunfisk...it's face is creepy...
Vanilite's line. It had potential for so much move...it should've had a bowl in it's final evolution instead of a cone...and that straw in it's final stage is weird...also would've liked if it had large chunks of ice that resemble toppings...

That's all I can think of. I either like or love every other Unova Pokémon.

Nakala Pri September 3rd, 2013 11:27 PM

You forgot Druddigon! :O Why does everybody forget to add that Pokemon? xD

Because not everyone hates Druddigon.

riseagainst7fold September 4th, 2013 8:05 AM

I take one look at watchog and i feel myself about to proijectile vomit! also.... ICE CREAM CONES???????????

Colress Machine September 4th, 2013 8:48 AM

Kinklang simply because I'm still sore about the fact that I couldn't put him in my team because of that horrible movepool. I wanted to use one so badly but I couldn't get myself to choose a Pokémon with such a horrible choice of moves to go with his stats. I chose a Magnezone instead and I love him. c:
I really love Klinklang's design and I don't hate him, I was just so disappointed that I'm just sour towards him.

Nakala Pri September 4th, 2013 10:16 PM

I just can't compel myself to like Klinklang. A gear Pokemon could be cool, but in the end, they ended up with something I found under the table yesterday. xD

Flushed September 5th, 2013 4:51 PM

Design-wise, I can't hate on any of the Pokemon. I really like Unfezant's design but found it was quite bad in battle. I guess that could apply to a lot of Pokemon from this generation tbh.

What I don't get is why the generation didn't base anything off of Native American mythology. Some of the stuff in there is really interesting, and could make for some great Pokemon. Beasts like the Thunderbird and the Mishipeshu, or Great Lynx, could definitely inspire some great designs.

But instead, we get garbage and ice cream.

Nakala Pri September 6th, 2013 12:12 AM

I hope next time they go for some Egyptian Pokemon, like a Sphinx or perhaps one of the gods, like Anubis and Ahemait, "The Devourer of the Dead". Sure, Cofagrigus was Egyptian themed, but something more creative would have been cooler.

Alloute September 13th, 2013 9:51 PM

Lol there are a lot of generation 5 Pokemon that I don't like but the only ones that I have a personal grudge against is Roggenrola's family. I just hate how it takes two attacks to take them down because of Sturdy. That and I think their designs are really lame.

Nakala Pri September 13th, 2013 10:30 PM

I know, right? Then it uses Rollout one thousand times, then when you JUST think you KO'd it, BAM! They have Sturdy and they use a hyper potion. So annoying! xD

Blues7 September 18th, 2013 11:30 AM

Ok, my $0.02 :)
I'll start with the popular hated ones:
Swoobat and co. Yeah, just, why?! But it has its charms (I don't see them).
Corfagrigus, I like it. I don't know why people are screaming so much about it, there has not been any direct pokemon related to egyptian mythology and I love this. I actually really liked Corfagrigus but its defensive stats are just too obvious for me, and I like offensive pokes more :)
Sigilyph in my opinion is new and attractive. I love it with my heart, and its even in my white I team :)!
Rubbish evo tree, Is just plain weird. I can say why people would like it, but I don't. Trubbish can be cute if it weren't a small garbage bag :D
Druddigon looks both awful/weird, and strong/hard-headed. I liked how they represented it, just not the colors. (Seriously? Red head and blue body? Doesn't even fit haha...)
Stunfisk is kind of a trick pony, 90% of people won't like it. 10% will have that special taste for poke and like it :)
Vullaby and co. I don't like it. Can't see why people would choose it over Braviary, but well, there must be a female counterpart to it and I like them to think that way.
Ferrothorn. I think this thing looks badas :D Never seen typing is a plus.
Klinklank. Just... Why? Magnezone is superior every way in my opinion. But I like the pure-steel type. IF it weren't so slow and so simple. I mean... Klink, then Klank, then Klinklang? Rly? XD
Eelektross looks quite fine and I like it.
Throh Sawk. These two weren't the best when I saw them. But I loved their personalities in the anime, specially one being light-minded and more of a freelancer, and one being serious and more down-to-the-ground.
Unfezant looks weird specially after Staraptor appeared. The raptor is so much cooler.
Elemental Monkeys. These guys look really cute! Until they evolve. Except Simisear. It is derpy as heaven. Simisage gets a special mention to his Elvis Hair. It is... ELVIS PARSLEY. HAHAHA ok I'll stop.
Stoutland is just pure-beard awesomeness.
Beeheyem looks special. It is unique in my opinion.
Victini looks like some kind of thingy doing thingies. I don't find it attractive nor unique.
Watchog is high. :(
The ice cream is just weird. It's cute though.

I don't like that people just insult other pokemon because of their own liking, so I came here to point out that it's not nice to do this :D I always say that IMO, or my two cents, or Theres a Reason... Because you know... There's always a reason :D Personally I don't dislike Stunfisk. It's a sole fish, what can you ask? It has got nice typing too.

Good luck guys! :D

edit: Got long :O! I love writing long posts :D!

Lost Lore September 18th, 2013 4:21 PM

Emolga are evil little things. Trying to train on Audino when they're around is not fun. Especially if you're slower- then you get spammed with "Can't escape!" and end up paralyzed while they sit there spamming Double Team.

...Although I've had other experiences with Double Team that are just as frustrating, but those aren't Gen V. XD

And yes, Sturdy's little boost is a pretty big cause of mass frustration for me. It is quite amusing when you get to laugh in their faces if you have Mold Breaker, though. (Haxorus just happens to be part of my main team in Black- what can I say?)

CoffeeDrink September 20th, 2013 12:34 PM

Bouffalant. It's stupid is maximum, koff~

An absolutely pointless and 70's looking cousin of Tauros. Out of all the fifth generation, this is the one that I despise to most.

A tie would have to be Archeops. It pales in comparison to Aerodactyl. It's the same typing as Aerodactyl, and Archeops' ability, defeatist, make it nigh unusable. If a lvl 100 Aerodactyl and Archeops faced off, Aerodactyl's speed would quickly push Archeops' advantage of being stronger in the attack department into the mud. I don't think Lance would ever use this thing, and that's what really matters, koffi~

Nakala Pri September 20th, 2013 10:57 PM

Thanks, guys! It's been really interesting listening to your opinions! ^^

Keep at it!

Yes, I'd say those 2 are iritating!

OP, out of your list:

Quote:

Cofagrigus

Garbodor

Ferroseed

Klink

Klang

Klinklang

Accelgor

Shelmet

Druddigon

Genesect
Most of them are pretty awesome! I love Druddigon and the Klinklang family

Ferroseed is also amazing!

Err, I think we did, koff~

I think Sigilyph looks close. It looks more Native American than Xatu I think, koffi~

Infinitum September 30th, 2013 1:01 AM

They're all losers, the original 151 were much superior to those.

Every generation they've lost creativity, they've became worser and worser every time.
GEN V had perhaps the most idiotic & ugly Pokémon ever created.

Didn't know worser was a word. Huh. Something new everyday, koffi~

Also, I think some of the original 151 were a bit weird. Electrode for instance. I like the speed it has, but it's hard to defend it's design to people. They overused Zubat and Geodude, and I think some of the worst Pokemon Designs came from the third generation. A dancing pineapple, a bag of food (makuhita), a lazy fat guy, nosepass, and plusle and minun. I don't particularly like any of those Pokemon. Plusle and minun were stuck with the pichu look alike contest and garbage abilities to boot. They may be changed to fairy/electric (that is their egg type after all) but I still can't see those rats being used long term, koff~

Nakala Pri October 3rd, 2013 2:13 AM

Thanks for all of your feed-back, guys, I really appreciate it. :D

Six hundred posts, YES! ^^

DynamicD October 3rd, 2013 5:47 PM

Stunfisk.
I want to unsee that pokemon.

Suicune October 4th, 2013 5:22 AM

I think Garbordor and Sigilyph are the only eye-sores to me. There's a few Pokémon I don't like for their stats, but. Sigilyph. And Garbordor. They are Pokémon I don't like seeing around period.

Dreg October 14th, 2013 9:38 AM

I really didn't like the design of Druddigon, myself. The other pokemon in Gen V that I didn't like were: Sigilyph, Vullaby, Ferroseed line, Dwebble line, and any of the Pan/Simi lines.

Nakala Pri October 21st, 2013 3:34 AM

Thank you for all of these lovely... lovely posts... now, keep posting so my thread will be among the most popular! MWAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA!

Just kidding, but seriously guys, thank you~

Volt202 October 25th, 2013 9:22 AM

I never really liked timber

Fitzsy October 25th, 2013 9:56 AM

The Generation V designs took a bit to grow on me, they're just so frigging weird, but now they're some of my favorites in kind of an ugly-cute way, think like Ugly Dolls... That said, I can't get over how dumb that emo hair looks on Deino and Zweilous, and something about Snivy, just can't dig it! The Musketeers look kind of generic too, which in some ways is worse than being butt-ugly, but I haven't really had much experience with training them so yeahyeah that doesn't count!

Nakala Pri November 28th, 2013 2:06 AM

I say 5th generation actually looked, well, Pokemon-y, unlike 6th gen, which is pretty ugly and annoying. xD

Gardevoir the Dragon Slayer November 28th, 2013 2:34 AM

Words can not describe how much I hate Scraggy and Scrafty.

Nakala Pri November 28th, 2013 2:37 AM

They're cute how they pull their pants up and stuff. I like 'em! ^^

I think I've caught something. :C

Marionz November 28th, 2013 4:21 AM

Only disliked Garbador on this gen... Really, its very unpleasant.. Who would want a garbage as a pokemon... Oh that was so uncool.. I know it represents something but oh man, i dunno what to say whenever I look at this horrid creature.

Lol It drives me insane in Gen V watching their pants fall down, then them to pull them up only for them to fall down again. Wish someone would give them a belt or braces or even just a piece of string to use as a belt.

Arrow November 29th, 2013 2:04 PM

Cofagrigus. What the hell is wrong with this thing!? It's so... creepy... Ugh! :(

Nah November 29th, 2013 2:32 PM

I hate the elemental monkeys. I just don't like monkeys. The exception to that is Infernape, because it actually doesn't look bad and doesn't suck in battle. And then Trubbish/Garbodor. Don't like 'em either. Yes, I'm aware Grimer and Muk are just piles of sludge.

Well said about those monkeys their just pointless and evolving them a waste of a good stonem I hate Infernape to.

Jellicent is another fail gen V pokemon

Lamp December 2nd, 2013 5:12 PM

I Dislike the 3 Elemental Monkey's, Tranquil, Ducklett , Woobat Evoloution , and Emolga.

大輔 December 2nd, 2013 9:24 PM

I honestly didn't have a 'loser' of the Unova region since it's supposed to be based in a far away place with completely different types of pokemon. But if I had to choose maybe solosis? I mean it looks kind of creepy being a molecule of floating fetus DNA or something...

greenreaper December 3rd, 2013 11:46 PM

I hate the Trubbish evolutionary line....

Solosis fetus it far tolerable than Gen 1 mew sprite fetus

LilyAnn December 4th, 2013 6:48 PM

I don't care for the starters. The monkeys, Pidove, Woobat, Basculin, Foongus, and Ferroseed are all pokemon from this gen that I couldn't stand.

Harmonious Fusion December 4th, 2013 7:56 PM

Stunfisk. Even the jokes about it being the most majestic thing ever have gotten old. That said, I used one in Black 2 specifically because I think it's ugly and stupid, and it was decent in terms of usefulness.

Sam89 December 5th, 2013 7:54 AM

My god, what's wrong with you people! Cofagrigus was awesome, high defense and good special attack. Stoutland is awesome too. But Scrafty, Druddigon, Unfezeant, Haxorus, Emolga, Zebstrika, Durant, Eelektross, Hydreigon, Basculin, Siglyph and anythin Marshal uses are all the banes of my existence. Am I the only one who likes Vanillite and Swoobat!? Most of them I hate from their power or unwillingness to just die! I could really care less about the designs, I just hate those! But I do hate Scraggy, unless in x and y, it's cry hurts my ears. Zebstrika's annoyingness inspired me to catch a Blitzle in B/W. SIGLYPH IS MY WORST NIGHTMARE EVER. Such high speed and special attack, yet when I use it, it always goes last and gets killed in the first two minutes. Same with Basculin, except it's attack not special attack. Basculins everywhere, when you surf and fish. *SHUDDER* It's just like Emolga, paralyzing and spamming double team while you try to run and fail. *SHUDDER*

Diablerie December 17th, 2013 10:59 PM

Never was a fan of Druddigon either. To me, it's always looked like the lead Pokemon designer's five-year old kid drew a picture, and that picture was made into a Pokemon to make the kid happy.

Consulting Detective December 18th, 2013 4:35 AM

I remember first seeing Seismitoad and just thinking, "but why". I found the aesthetics of the this generations Pokemon somewhat less appealing, but statwise there were quite a few good ones.

She_Delphox December 18th, 2013 6:35 AM

My biggest "WTF are these Pokemon, are you for real GF?!" moment within Gen. 5 (considering Pokemon designs) was when I met these Pokemon:
- Not 1, not 2, ...no, 3! "elemental" monkey Pokemon... I really dislike the design of all of them, as well as evolutions, sorry :<
- The Vanillite line, seriously ICECREAM Pokemon?! So GF, what's next? Would we get a "Poo" Pokemon just like they did with Digimon, I sure hope not! (just sayin')
- Stunfisk, yeah... what to say about this one, I just think this Pokemon isn't that useful...
- Don't get me started about Basculin, I think these Pokemon are the "Magikarp-Zubat-Ratatta-Tentacool" of this Gen. They are just... SO annoying imo
- Probably almost the same with the Trubbish line, garbage bags..., but I don't dislike them as much as the above listed...

These Pokemon are unfortunately the ones I will NEVER use in one of my Pokemon teams, instead they will have a nice spot in one of my PC boxes...

Nakala Pri December 27th, 2013 7:43 PM

Sigilyph was indeed a nightmare, and a hard one too. Since you have to battle one of them at a sort of early age (at the Ferris wheel, with N) you don't have many electric or dark moves, so you end up using every damn move in the book until you get a critical hit, but then he uses a Max Potion, so then you restart, go and level up to a hundred and then teach dat sexy man a lesson. xD

And seeing a Golerk flying through the sky (you couldn't actually see it, since it flies at Mach Speed) is kinda... dumb, Lmao.

The first time I saw Golurk fly (in one of the Pokemon movies), I was like "WTF? Golurk can fly?! When the hell did that happen?" Because I always thought Golurk was some sort of guard statue (sort of like a possessed suit of armor standing guard). So statue=/=something that uses jets/rockets to fly. But apparently Golurk is more akin to a robot and not a statue.

SLKMUGEN April 2nd, 2014 5:30 AM

I really hated Stunfisk, Patrat line, Woobat line and Roggenrola/Boldore (Gigalith's cool though).

(Sorry for bumping this, but I had to express this)

And also, there are Pokemon I like using but hate fighting against:

Lilligant (It's my favorite Pokemon (ever), but a lot of them are evil, not In-game (They are actually kind of easy to deal with in-game), but in Wi-Fi battles, mainly the ones used by a guy that also had Delibird, and one used by a guy with Magcargo, they swept my butt, it was painful)

Alomomola (It sucks in-game, good in Wi-Fi battles, but I hate fighting them for them same reason I hate fighting Umbreon)

Jellicent♀ April 2nd, 2014 10:57 AM

Please pay attention to the rules of the Fifth Generation, as you will see it clearly state that reviving a thread that is over a month old is not allowed.
