Yeah, I think so too. After all, everything else is just a little mixed, huh?

For my two Poison types, I'll go with Nuptup the Oddish and Roly-Poly the Scolipede.


Let's start with which Generation gave us the best Poison types.

Gen 1 is the obvious choice, just because of the sheer amount. We got Oddish, Bellsprout, Zubat, Gastly, Nidoran, and Bulbasaur (to name a few). I also think Gen 4 was pretty good, giving us Croagunk and Skorupi.

My favorite Poison types, though, are Crowbat, Scolipede, Oddish, and Croagunk.

Welcome! Okay, so I will register you with Scolipede and Oddish. If I'm mistaken, then correct me, please. :3

I love poison-type pokemon! Definitely sign me up. :D

My two partners: http://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/anim/normal/nidoking.gifhttp://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/anim/normal/crobat.gif

Nidoking (Nii): He's my favourite. I chose him, because he's an amazing pokemon! Whenever I play FR/LG, I ALWAYS have a Nidoking on my team. Always. Nidoking that knows Earthquake? Better watch out.

Crobat (Batmon): Often underappreciated, Crobat is actually a very useful pokemon. I have a Crobat called Batmon on my Crystal version, and let me tell you - he's a beast. Do I even need to mention its high speed? :P

Which Generation Holds The Best Poison Types?
Gen. 1 definitely has some of the best poison-types.

What Is Your Favorite And Why?
Nidoking, like I mentioned above.

Least Favorite?
I can't think of a least favourite right now. And honestly, I haven't played B/W or B2/W2, so I can't say anything about the newer poison-types like Garbodor, or Amoonguss.

Who Is Your Favorite Gym Leader/Elite Four Poison Type User?
I like Koga. :3

My awesome Batmon:

Gen. 1. I think it has the most poison types, and holds awesome ones like Muk, Tentacruel and Nidoking/queen.

Crobat. I've always loved Crobat ever since I first saw it in Gen 2, and is always on my Gen 2 teams.

Hey guys! Sorry for the late edit, just been a bit distracted.

But anyways, welcome, guys! I hope you enjoy it here! :D

*Who Is Your Favorite Gym Leader/Elite Four Poison Type User?*

For Me Koga Because I Really Like Koga's Pokemons

Nakala Pri August 15th, 2013 8:19 AM

I dunno about Koga. One minute he is a Gym Leader, then the Elite Four, (a huge honor) then he is a Gym Leader, then he is the Elite Four, AGAIN!! xD Didn't watch the anime, but I have a feeling he did something... xD

Well a ninja can never stay in the same place for too long... for all we know he may never have been a Gym Leader in the first place O_0

Yes Your Right And Are You Like Koga?

Nakala Pri August 17th, 2013 1:00 AM

You have a point, I think there is a conspiracy going on here. :O

Sorry, was AFK for a day. Now I'm back. ^^

Am I like Koga? Or do I like Koga?

If it's the former... I'm not sure? Haha, I mean my personality can flip from pirate to ninja and back again in a heartbeat, but I'd never put up invisible walls in my house =P

If it's the latter, yeah he's pretty cool. He uses both Muk AND Weezing, some of my favorites, haha. I like Pokemon that can explode.

Nakala Pri August 17th, 2013 11:22 PM

Pokemon which can explode, eh? xD Well, they kinda freak me out, since if your kid was in the back-yard with it's Electrode and you suddenly heard a big BANG then you could say goodbye to the kid, haha. In the Pokemon world, having a pet Electrode and the such would be risky business. xP

DarkfoolDave August 18th, 2013 4:02 AM

Hahahaha! It would probably be banned for public use due to being a living atom bomb =P

Eletrode: "Uhhh, Did I do that?"

Nakala Pri August 20th, 2013 10:53 PM

Haha, totally. xD

In Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, they have Electrodes wandering the streets where kids play. :O Talk about a danger to the people/environment/other Pokemon and my TimTams stash, heehee.

Sorry about this guys, but you've been a tad inactive. Maybe try posting a tad more? Thanks! :D

Those are two pretty cool Pokémon, I adore Koga's team for it haha. I prefer the more sneaky and agile Poison-types though - things like Ariados or Toxicroak give the Poison typing its name whereas the exploders are just... awesome, but not typical of Poison XD Or would you say otherwise? Muk and Weezing are certainly two of the most iconic Poison-types... but why is this? I blame James from the anime. :p

Who Is Your Favorite Gym Leader/Elite Four Poison Type User?

Koga ofc! Koga is the original Poison master and I loved fighting his team in the games because he had a team of excellent Pokemon and he also presented more of a challenge. In gen 2 when he made an appearance in the Elite Four I was pleasantly surprised. I never expected for him to be there, but I was happy because he was one of my favorite leaders from the previous gen. I also adored the fact that he used one of my favorite Pokemon of all time, Crobat <3

Nakala Pri August 22nd, 2013 12:22 AM

Crobat is pretty cool, but Koffing for the win! :D And Scolipede... and every single Poison type, haha. xD

I'll be adding some club content, so be prepared. c:

DarkfoolDave August 22nd, 2013 11:19 PM

Haha Scolipede was my jam in Gen 5- She ended up faster than anything and everything I took her up against!

An' also while James totally gave Weezing some existence beyond what it already was, I'm pretty sure Muk became iconic due to his "affinity" for Prof. Oak; I love how that gag endured in the anime as long as it did/has, actually.

Also, Rozu, for some strange reason I saw you say "Koffing for the win" and I imagined a bunch of people playing volleyball with a Koffing, and every time a team misses and it lands on the ground, it uses selfdestruct :3 My mind works wonders I can't even comprehend...

Nakala Pri August 23rd, 2013 12:43 AM

Haha! Now that is a game I would play. c:<

I'll only answer one topic for now and save some for later, so I'll explain why I choose these two as my favourites! Honestly I love the huge majority of Poison types, hence my old Poison club, but these two have always shone out about the rest for me.. I adore the way Grimer is able to mould his body around attacks and absorb any physical attack like it's nothing, whilst all the while being able to deliver hit after hit after hit of power and poison back at the opponent. I've loved Grimer ever since the summer school episode of the DP anime where Dawn was given one to use - it was the posing and this moment sold it for me:


As for Foongus, I've never used one and don't really want to because it would almost certainly spoil it for me when I realise I hate its play style, but it's just so damn cute :D


That picture makes me think about how whenever a Muk or Grimer drags itself across the land, it leaves a trail of death and decay, making sure nothing will ever grow. Then how does Dawn openly stick her arm through a Grimer, eh? Wouldn't it cause her a skin condition or perhaps an illness?

P.S: Didn't watch the anime, plan to soon. xD

DarkfoolDave August 24th, 2013 5:23 AM

Pokedex entries always make Pokemon more awesome than they actually are. Either that, or the show simply ignores that aspect of the game world.
Now that I'm thinking about it, i think it'd be cool- a darker anime where the Pokemon are truly dangerous. Grimer and Muk are super toxic and hard to train because they can make their trainers ill on contact. Gengars actually hiding in ppl's shadows and maliciously possessing them a la exorcist style- Banette's is actually my favorite- seek it out if you have the time ;D

Hikamaru August 24th, 2013 10:06 PM

Imma gonna join and pick these two Pokemon:

http://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/normal/stunky.pnghttp://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/normal/crobat.png

What Is Your Favorite And Why?

I always loved Stunky and Skuntank, because I knew that before 4th Gen I was thinking they should make a skunk into a Pokemon (given how cute I think those critters are) and I used it quite a bit in my D/P/Pt playthroughs, and with not many weaknesses it's pretty hard to take down, not to mention how unique of a type combination Poison/Dark is!

Least Favorite?

Garbodor ewww. While Trubbish was adorable and everything, Garbodor looks so freaky with that facial expression and the fact it's like a monster made of rubbish. The poor thing's movepool, despite being diverse, doesn't make good use of its good Attack stat due to mainly having special-based attacks. I would have enjoyed it better if it only had a good physical movepool to work with, and maybe a bit less ugly? Probably worst Poison-type ever imo, the design is horrid.

Who Is Your Favorite Gym Leader/Elite Four Poison Type User?

Roxie baby! I love how she's a lead singer in a rock band and her Gym's really cool, and I love all the awesome fanart of her that has been floating on sites like DeviantArt, Pixiv and Tumblr. I mean, I thought I'd never love Poison-type trainers and then suddenly they introduce her in Black 2 & White 2, because she was my saving grace for showing more love towards Poison-types.

Nakala Pri August 25th, 2013 9:21 PM

Welcome to the team, Hikari! Good to have you here! ^^

I actually agree with you on like, everything there.

P.S: Don't tell anyone, but I wanna pet skunk. xD
