The Tirtouga/Carracosta line will always be my favorite fossil! They're super-cute turtles, plus they're awesome and fun to use! After that, Cranidos comes in second place for the reasons I mentioned a few posts ago.

(Although I admittedly forgot that Tirtouga was a Rock-type when I made that post... go me! xD)

Lycanthropy July 20th, 2015 5:47 AM

Now you mention it, there exist a lot of turtles in the Pokémon world, Tirtouga, Squirtle, Golem, Turtwig, Shuckle, Torkoal and possibly some others I forgot to mention.

I never realized that Golem and Shuckle are turtles, ahaha. But still, I really like all of those Pokémon you listed except for maybe Shuckle, though I certainly like Torterra a lot more than Turtwig.

Lycanthropy July 20th, 2015 6:07 AM

They have a turtleish shell and can retract their heads and limbs, so seems pretty turtle to me. I think Squirtle's family might even be the one I like the least of them, which is a bit odd, because starters are quite loved in general.

Hikamaru July 21st, 2015 5:34 PM

16

Turtles are incredibly popular, two of them are even starters!

alisaie July 21st, 2015 6:22 PM

17.

Turtles are great ♥ I don't think there is a turtle pokemon that I don't like.

Hikamaru July 21st, 2015 7:16 PM

16

Tirtouga was a really awesome one, I always loved how Marriland calls it a "derpy turtle". Aquilavus from his Black Wedlocke made me love it even more, and I remember feeling sad when he died to a trainer's Accelgor on Route 10. Damn 4x Grass weakness getting the better of him.

Lycanthropy July 22nd, 2015 1:54 AM

17

Quadruple weaknesses are often instantly fatal. Something that's just as annoying is when the opponent can do a super effective draining move. My mono-ice team couldn't do a thing against a Drain Punch Pangoro.

classiccartoonsftw July 22nd, 2015 6:41 AM

18.

At those times, you'd wish for Ice/Poison, Ice/Bug, and good Ice/Flying Pokemon.

Gulpin July 22nd, 2015 1:40 PM

17

Yeah, 4x weaknesses suck, especially when doing monotypes because that usually means the rest of your team probably isn't very good at countering whatever type it you're going up against either.

Hikamaru July 22nd, 2015 5:23 PM

16

I mostly try to avoid 4x weaknesses, however there are some with designs so awesome I couldn't say no to using them.

Starry Windy July 24th, 2015 6:17 AM

17

I think some Pokémon are quite solid despite having a single 4x weakness. Usually they're quite bulky or strong if other types deal with them, which makes these Pokémon sort of like All-or-nothing types. Scizor and Heracross are one of the prime examples of that.

Hikamaru July 24th, 2015 6:42 AM

16

As shown with the likes of Heracross and Scizor there, a 4x weakness doesn't stop some of the best competitive Pokemon around.

blue July 24th, 2015 9:06 AM

17

I remember using Leavanny in Black 2 and it became one of my favourites to use. Initially I was put off by the double x4 weakness, but aside that it helped out in so many tough battles.

Lycanthropy July 24th, 2015 10:42 AM

18

I've always loved Magnemite, despite its ×4 weakness to ground. Its electric and steel type attacks can't hit ground Pokémon well, so there's no reason to use it against ground types. I don't think I've ever played without water type Pokémon on my main team because of Surf (aside solo challenges), so that's covered.

Hikamaru July 24th, 2015 7:34 PM

16

I am absolutely not sure.

Lycanthropy July 25th, 2015 2:05 AM

http://pldh.net/media/dreamworld/046.png

It's slower than Golem and I doubt its 55 base defense can resist a STAB super effective Stone Edge. Even if, Golem's Sturdy prevents it to be KO'd instantly.

PageEmp July 25th, 2015 6:37 AM

16

Are you talking about this game's list? Well, according to the OP, he did make it, sorry to disappoint.

Nurse Joy July 25th, 2015 6:49 AM

17

The current Pokemon is Geodude.... right? WHOOPS, it was Golem. Still voting up, though. Not a bad Pokemon.

And that's really up to everyone else. Just hope that everyone likes or dislikes Paras as much as you do.

Hikamaru July 25th, 2015 8:42 AM

15

Keep this number going down yo

Gulpin July 25th, 2015 9:57 AM

14

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Golem. I think that a cooler Pokemon could've been created to be Geodude's final evolution.

blue July 25th, 2015 10:42 AM

13

I don't know why I upvoted, but yeah I've never really been a fan of Golem.

Chikara July 25th, 2015 3:55 PM

12

Golem used to scare me as a kid :(

Starry Windy July 25th, 2015 11:38 PM

11

Really? I think Golem was quite good.
The issue is that you can't get this dude straight away, except on somewhere in Pokémon Emerald, iirc. If not, you have to trade for it (which is no good for me back then)

PageEmp July 25th, 2015 11:53 PM

12

I'm surprised to see that people don't like a rock turtle thingy.

Lycanthropy July 26th, 2015 1:53 AM

13

Me too, it's the standard rock type Pokémon and one of the rare rock type Pokémon I like enough to be saved.

Hikamaru July 26th, 2015 2:22 AM

12

Keep the down-counting going so we can move on.

Starry Windy July 26th, 2015 5:06 AM

11

Well... I have mixed feelings about this particular Pokémon.

Gulpin July 26th, 2015 9:17 AM

9

I mean, Golem's all right and all, but it isn't really anything special. Its design is too spherical for me, and its head seems to be really low on its body..

Lycanthropy July 26th, 2015 11:22 AM

9

Rocket launchers? Wouldn't that make it just a rock type Blastoise?

alisaie July 26th, 2015 12:35 PM

10.

Haha yeah, I think it would.

But. But guys. Remember the flaming Golem because of Charmander in the anime? :')

Hikamaru July 26th, 2015 6:06 PM

9

1st Gen was weird. Never forget Pikachu turning the sprinklers on against Brock solely due to the fact he was struggling.

alisaie July 26th, 2015 7:00 PM

10.

I love how that is normally the first example people bring up. no i don't

Starry Windy July 27th, 2015 5:40 AM

This reminds me... iirc, Gym matches in Kanto region started to feel like one after Ash gained some of the badges. Not that it's not enjoyable to watch like the series that come after. I dunno if I enjoyed it more if Gym matches is filled with funny moments or serious moments.

Astinus July 28th, 2015 1:51 PM

8

I wonder how much ire I'll draw from Ash if I mention another famous Kanto Gym battle quote: "AIM FOR THE HORN!"

Hikamaru July 29th, 2015 12:16 AM

7

Gotta get down... Golem is gonna go down

Lycanthropy July 29th, 2015 7:52 AM

8

And he's going up too! This is taking so long...

Gulpin July 29th, 2015 1:42 PM

7

I don't know.. is Golem taking as long as Geodude?

Lycanthropy July 30th, 2015 3:11 AM

8

Geodude only took nine days and 62 posts. We're on Golem for twelve days now and 61 posts, Golem breaks the record!

Gulpin July 30th, 2015 2:22 PM

7

Dang, I didn't realize we've been on Golem so long.

Hikamaru July 31st, 2015 4:10 AM

6

It shows just how much can love and hate Golem at the same time!

kingdenas July 31st, 2015 6:02 AM

5

Golem is going down! I don't like him ... It's a fake turtle! It's just a rock sphere with one head, 2 arms and 2 legs! And I don't appreciate Rock-type pokémon to much. It's rare to see one in my party!

Lycanthropy July 31st, 2015 7:49 AM

6

I'm still trying to save the Pokémon, even when it seems terribly futile.

Astinus July 31st, 2015 5:09 PM

5

When are we going to get to Ponyta? http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/negativeman-55f.png

Meadow July 31st, 2015 7:25 PM

6.

Wow, all these years I never knew that Ponyta was the Pokémon after Golem. Good job, me! :D

Embernight July 31st, 2015 7:36 PM

7.

Idk, I like Golem. Geodude and Graveler were meh, but Golem looked cool.

Gulpin July 31st, 2015 9:54 PM

6
Ponyta, we're almost there just hang in there lil bud

Hikamaru July 31st, 2015 11:36 PM

5

Keep going down and you'll get there

Lycanthropy August 1st, 2015 1:55 AM

6

Hey look, I'm posting the number 6 again, no advance over the last few posts.

kingdenas August 1st, 2015 5:01 AM

5

We are coming for you Ponyta!

Hikamaru August 1st, 2015 8:28 AM

4

Three more to go before you get there!

Tsutarja August 1st, 2015 7:07 PM

3

Damn we're still on Golem?!

Hikamaru August 2nd, 2015 4:00 AM

2

Not for much longer, we're finally about to kill it!

Lycanthropy August 2nd, 2015 4:49 AM

Let me ruin the fun for a bit.

Lycanthropy August 2nd, 2015 4:49 AM

Gulpin August 2nd, 2015 8:28 AM

Golem has held on for a surprisingly long time..

Gulpin August 2nd, 2015 8:29 AM

2

Golem is just refusing to be taken down..

Hikamaru August 2nd, 2015 8:53 AM

1

Yes it has, because it has both its lovers and haters.

Gulpin August 2nd, 2015 10:28 AM

0

...and Golem has been discarded so now we can move on to Ponyta!

Astinus August 2nd, 2015 1:20 PM

FINALLY

11

I like Ponyta's shiny colors a lot.

kingdenas August 2nd, 2015 1:38 PM

12

Oh yeah, bye-bye golem! Welcome ponyta!

I really like ponyta, as much as I like horses! And I used one on my Sinnoh journey!

Hikamaru August 2nd, 2015 3:46 PM

13

I'll be counting up for this one, and while it's not the best Fire Pokemon out there it is at least still an iconic member of the Original 151.

Meadow August 2nd, 2015 6:20 PM

14.

Ponyta may be on the generic side, but at least it's quite cute!

Also, R.I.P Golem. :(

ghostly August 2nd, 2015 6:35 PM

15

SHINY PONYTA. <3

I like Ponyta, cute and its shiny is blue. Also, her evolved form Rapidash because I dreamed of having when I was a wee little gurl. Just Kidding.

Hikamaru August 3rd, 2015 7:43 AM

16

I would one day want a shiny Ponyta. The blue flames make me love it more, especially in Diamond & Pearl... aka the game where your only non-starter Fire-type option is literally Ponyta.

ghostly August 3rd, 2015 8:24 AM

17

I really like the color blue, it made Ponyta much more cuter and I spent hours trying to catch a shiny one just for that. XD

Chikara August 3rd, 2015 12:55 PM

18

Save the Pony-tas!

Seth Rollins August 3rd, 2015 1:16 PM

19

Ponyta is not bad, so eh, why not.

Seth Rollins August 3rd, 2015 1:17 PM

Ponyta is not bad, so eh, why not.

kingdenas August 3rd, 2015 1:33 PM

Hey hey, ponyta reached 20 "points"
And the next pokémon is .....

Chikara August 3rd, 2015 1:34 PM

11
Rapidash!

Meadow August 3rd, 2015 7:10 PM

12.

I think Rapidash is pretty cool! Especially its name :)

Hikamaru August 3rd, 2015 7:34 PM

13

I recall my first use of a Rapidash when I played Pearl, and that was before Chimchar became my go-to Sinnoh starter. Rapidash has been outclassed by loads of other Fire-types lately so it was no surprise.

ghostly August 3rd, 2015 7:45 PM

14

HORSIE! not the water pokemon Shiny Rapidash here I comeeee!

ghostly August 3rd, 2015 7:45 PM

14

HORSIE! not the water pokemon Shiny Rapidash here I comeeee!

Lycanthropy August 4th, 2015 1:21 AM

15

Not the best fire Pokémon out there, but unicorns are always awesome.

Hikamaru August 4th, 2015 1:53 AM

16

Yeah, you could say unicorns are great... aside from young girls being naturally in love with them.

Gulpin August 4th, 2015 9:13 AM

17

Haha, I completely missed out on Ponyta it went by so fast.
Rapidash is just as iconic though; I have unfortunately not used one yet though..

Gulpin August 4th, 2015 9:13 AM

17

Chikara August 4th, 2015 3:19 PM

18

come on guys, this should be a landslide win

Sopheria August 4th, 2015 3:29 PM

19

Because it's almost there! And I do quite like Rapidash.

Meadow August 4th, 2015 7:07 PM

20.

Done! Next up is Slowpoke!

And just to throw in a topic, how did you guys feel about the Apricorn system in Johto? I personally loved it, because it promoted so much diversity in terms of Poké Ball designs. :)

ghostly August 4th, 2015 8:23 PM

11

Slooooowpoooookeeeeee.

I really thought apricorn are food- who knew they could be made into different kinds of pokeballs? I like Blue Apricorn, the Lure Ball apperance-wise, for uses, my vote would be Green Apricorn, the Friend Ball!

Hikamaru August 4th, 2015 9:58 PM

12

Slowpoke is just the cutest :3

And yeah, Apricorn collecting was fun but it did get annoying that the Poke Balls made out of it were exclusive only to Johto games.

ghostly August 4th, 2015 10:13 PM

13

SAVE THE SLOWPOKE TAILS.

rip apricorn.

Lycanthropy August 5th, 2015 12:07 AM

14

Apricorns are interesting, they show a piece of history of the Pokéballs. I can't say I picked them a lot, because that required a lot of travelling every day, while I still prefer the use of regular Pokéballs, but I picked them every time I passed them.

ghostly August 5th, 2015 12:55 AM

15

I do pick them again when I return to a place where the apricorn presides! Other than that, I drift off.

ghostly August 5th, 2015 12:55 AM

15

I do pick them again when I return to a place where the apricorn presides! Other than that, I drift off.

Hikamaru August 5th, 2015 2:39 AM

16

If you like to participate in the Pokeathlon, Apricorns are essential to bringing out their true performance potential. Just remember each Pokemon are mostly tailored to a specific course.

Sopheria August 5th, 2015 3:21 AM

17

Ah, I miss the Pokeathlon. I had so much fun playing with friends in HG/SS. Using the Apriblender to get the right stats was really difficult to master though.

Hikamaru August 5th, 2015 3:29 AM

18

The only course I was good at was Stamina, and that was due to a very impressive Miltank I had that seemed to have a ton of strength to her. She was also my star against Lance, in that she did Attract hax to beat his Dragonite trio and her good Defense stat held her up as well.

ghostly August 5th, 2015 4:15 AM

19

Competitive battles? I'm bad at that, I'm bad at everything that is competitive battles, lol. I am the noobiest of noobs. XD

Hikamaru August 5th, 2015 6:51 AM

20

Let's say I am terrible at competitive, mainly because I get outpredicted.

Anyways, next Pokemon now!

Meadow August 5th, 2015 6:37 PM

11.

I wasn't exactly a big fan of the Pokéathlon at first, but then after forcing myself to try it, I eventually got addicted and now I absolutely love it, haha.

But regarding competitive play, prediction is also my biggest problem as well... :(

Sopheria August 5th, 2015 6:47 PM

12

(We're on Slowbro now, for reference :P)

I find competitive battles a ton of fun. The strategy and planning involved is fun, and I enjoy training up competitive teams. Sadly though I'm not that good at it (prediction hnng).

Hikamaru August 5th, 2015 8:23 PM

13

You have to admit we got through Slowpoke quickly, given no-one was counting down. I do love that evolution line, and Mega Slowbro is adorable and a hard-hitting tank.

Sirfetch’d August 5th, 2015 11:33 PM

14

I adore Slowbro tbh. Mega Slowbro is extremely fun to use and never dies it seems

Hikamaru August 6th, 2015 2:24 AM

15

It is near-unstoppable all while looking cute at the same time.

ghostly August 6th, 2015 7:39 AM

16

SLOWBROOOO~

I do admit that I laughed at it's Mega Form and then predictably, I love it! It's really, really silly at the same time, cute! maybe im biased

Hikamaru August 6th, 2015 7:54 AM

17

I still miss my Alpha Sapphire save file... I had so much fun with Mega Slowbro there.
