Least favorite Gen 2 pokemon
 
For all the great Pokemon GSC brought us, there were a few rotten eggs. What were your least favorites, and why?

For me Hoot Hoot and Noctowl were pretty poor and boring for me. As were Ledian and its pre-evo.
I absolutely hated Igglybuff, because IMO it was completely uneeded, had essentially the same design as Jigglypuff but worse, and was horrid to look at. I also didnt like Qwilfish because it was wasted potential. Water and Poison typing is unique and could have been amazing, had they actually given it an evolution. Oh, and of course, Delibird.

Most of the baby Pokemon were pretty pointless. I hated Smoochum in particular. Also think Qwilfish was wasted potential could do with a mega evolution.

1. Wobbuffet - Omg get this thing out of my face I just can't stand this one in particular. They just look so... lame and annoying, especially in the newer gens they have got the Shadow Tag ability and moves like Mirror Coat etc... .___.

2. Smeargle - Just another... not so useful and appealing Pokemon imo. Sure, sketch move is nice, but meh... they just aren't that useful to me.

3. Dunsparce - I'm no Dunsparce hater (in PMD Gates to Infinity he is kinda cute), but he is so... under-appealing... not interesting to use at all. Maybe if he did get an evolution or so...

I an unown to what my least favourite gen 2 pokemon is. It was an amazing gen.

FifePokemon July 7th, 2014 2:16 PM

Girafarig and Stantler, both are just a nuisance imo

Hiatus July 7th, 2014 3:33 PM

I suppose I sort of dislike Typhlosion, but that's only because of its name; it doesn't exactly stand out to me. It definitely would've been a lot nicer if they were a bit more creative, haha. Besides that, there's nothing else.

the only pokemon from gen 2 I don't like are unown. Mainly because I feel they could have been handled so much better I mean you do have to do a puzzle to get them. But when you get them they have bad stats and only know hidden power.

RyanPelley July 8th, 2014 9:24 AM

I always thought Dunsparce was kind of pointless and goofy looking.

Kikaito plush July 8th, 2014 12:15 PM

I don't like Unown as they are just pointless and there are 28 of these pokemon.

classiccartoonsftw July 9th, 2014 6:14 AM

My least favourite Johto Pokemon is Stantler, because it annoyed me a lot in the Johto games, by putting my Pokemon to sleep, and KO'ing some of them.

Other Gen 2 Pokemon I don't like are Unown, Girafarig, Dunsparce, and Pineco.

Raging Umbreon July 30th, 2014 4:11 PM

Delibird because of his limited movepool definitely made me dislike him.
Smeargle is cool because of his unique attack sketch. But never liked his design and his low stats.
Unown is just awful. Only has hidden power as an attack. The only cool thing is that they come in all letters of the alphabet.
Hoot Hoot and Noctowl I just don't like them very much.


Avara July 31st, 2014 2:21 AM

I liked Girafarig and Stantler! For me the worst GSC additions would have to be Delibird, Shuckle and Wobbuffet.

The Serious Table July 31st, 2014 8:27 AM

Wobbuffet because it's useless to me. In game it's useless. Competitively it's useless because it's banned. Why does it exist? I DONT KNOW. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS?

CelticsPhan July 31st, 2014 10:50 AM

1. Yanma- Never been a fan of that annoying thing. Looking back, it's not as brutal as I make it to be, plenty of color and definition in it. Still, it's annoying.

2. Sudowoodo- It's a tree! Nope! It's not a Grass type either! Get a load of this! It looks pretty goofy and uninspiring. They could do a fake tree better than this.

3. Murkrow- Another lame one-off Pokemon. It's too small and has nothing to it. I didn't mean it needed a fedora (*er hem*), but for a Dark type, it lacks in design.

pyx August 25th, 2014 12:53 AM

Well, the second generation is my favorite so it's kind of hard to pick a Pokemon that I dislike... But I'd say Girafarig is kind of bland, never really had any interest in it >.<

Sonikkts August 25th, 2014 5:25 AM

I never really thought much of Sneasel until it received an evolution. It was like a more frail Absol. I tried using many times but with Dark and Ice being Special types and Sneasel's Attack being its main draw it never really got much use from me in the later games when you were pretty much exclusively using Slash every turn. Still, Screech + Slash was kinda fun.

I really enjoyed using it in Gen IV however.

Limey-chan August 25th, 2014 5:44 PM

Gen II has some of my favourite ever Pokemon; Meganium, Crobat, Heracross, Scizor, Kingdra, Umbreon... but it also had some stinkers. Like, some really, really awful Pokemon.

Qwillfish, Yanma, Smeargle, Shuckle, Delibird, all utter tripe.

I think Unown takes the prize for me. I ****ing hated those things.

Codename Peace August 27th, 2014 2:00 AM

Qwilfish, I think it only exist to Poison our team of Pokemons.

Entermaid September 2nd, 2014 11:50 AM

Unown - Ugh. Speaks for itself.

Octillery - Remoraid/octillery don't go together, and octillery is such a boring, lazy-eyed, octopus. I mean octopuses are so strange and intriging on their own, yet GF managed to make a boring one.

Hitmontop - Punching Boxer, Kicking Martial Artist, and.....Spinning top pokemon?

Granbull - Snubble was so cute, and then it evolved :(

Centipede Chan September 2nd, 2014 12:00 PM

Hitmontop, and Unown. Especially Unown. Kinda hate Scizor when playing the original gen 2 games because I have no one to trade a scyther with metal coat. Then again there's always just cheating it at a low level in an emulated version.

Ohhhh I loved Noctowl and Hoot-Hoot!! I do love Ledian too! I like Delibird!! If only they could all have been better... (I like them but I don't use them)

I love almost all of then gen 2 pokemon, it's probably my favorite generation.

I'm not fan of the baby pokemon. And I'm not a fan of politoed too (not by competitive battle, most by "feelings").Well... Sunkern.Onown. Pineco. Dunsparce. Remoraid.

blue September 2nd, 2014 12:50 PM

Teddiursa. I'll probably get a lot of stick for this but to me it just isn't cute at all...

Splash September 3rd, 2014 4:11 AM

Uhmm who doesnt not love dunsparce? Anyone? Raise your hand..

Dunsparce is the most unconnected pokemon in johto..i dunno why they created it.

Tirion September 3rd, 2014 8:16 AM

Geez, lots of hate on Delibird! I think it was actually one of my favorite additions.

I very much dislike Flaafy (although Ampharos is one of my all-time favorites), and am not at all a fan of Ursaring.

Sonata September 5th, 2014 8:02 PM

I hate Umbreon, Entei, Celebi, baby pokemon, and Slowking. I just plain don't like them. No reason.
