Which gen 2 pokemon do you like and dislike the most?
 
Which Gen two Mon do you like the most and which do you dislike the most?

TYRANITAR!! TTar is my second favourite pokemon of all time,am I a fan boy? You bet,I remember raising one in Gold Ver. Im a hudge godzilla fan,and thats what he was based off so when this guy finally evolved and I saw this green beast for the first time i was pretty stoked.

Unkown,it is a slack design,I understand the concept but just all round dislike this one,the Alphabet pokemon just doesnt cut it for me.

Cant wait to hear the comments.

Cheers.

Crobat is my favorite pokemon ever

I don't like Xatu very much

Feraligatr is a boss, since it can learn an Ice-type attack before halfway into your adventure in Johto. In the remakes, because of the physical/special split, it gets to make use of it's best offensive stat (physical attack).

It also gets a very handy Ability as it's Hidden Ability; Sheer Force, which, combined with Dragon Dance if passed down through breeding, can be an amazing tool to work with when holding the Life Orb.

I don't have many Pokémon I genuinely hate, but there are some I find myself frustrated with at times depending on the situation.

I'm sure we can agree Stantler was not worth the hassle in terms of capturing.

Much like the OP, my favourite Gen 2 pokemon is Tyranitar, with both Espeon and Umbreon tying second.
Tyranitar is an absolute beast in the games and when it saw it in the Pokemon4Ever movie, well i just wanted it even more.

My least favourite has to be Smeargle.
I don't like the fact it can only use 'Sketch'. What if you send it out against a pokemon with a move you want, like say Cloyster with Shell Smash. You predict that Cloyster will use that move, but it doesn't and it uses, say Icicle Crash, instead.
You've wasted your Sketch move and now need to wait another 10 levels for Smeargle to learn it again.
That plus, I don't like it's paintbrush on its tail lol.

Very good choices! Honestly I think mine are exactly the same. I adore Crobat and really, really, really hate Xatu. Also a big shout-out to Donphan and Sudowoodo whom both come close to my favourite!

lilbluedemon March 3rd, 2018 4:23 PM

Ampharos, Houndoom, Skarmory are always in my team on GSC.

mikey March 4th, 2018 3:57 PM

I love a majority of the Pokemon introduced in gen 2. Umbreon would have to be my favorite, but Houndoom/Tyranitar/Scizor are close behind!

Least favorite? That's tough, since I like most of them. I guess Miltank. Whitney ruined it for me :<

Stantler is pretty lame lol wish it was abit stronger as i dont mind its design,Somthing we can both agree on though is Feraligatr such a boss gameplay and design wise!

Good choices mate!!

Loving the replies guys keep it up!!

the Alolan naturalist March 17th, 2018 2:50 AM

very solid gen in my eyes (and one of the few where all the legendaries are consistently amazing imo), faves would be ampharos and the starters, but girafarig, forretress, scizor, steelix, ursaring, tyranitar and a few others are super cool too.
Least fave is definitely the unown

LusoTrainer March 17th, 2018 3:19 AM

Favorite: Bayleef.

Least favorite: Probably Igglybuff or Snubbull.

blue March 17th, 2018 5:12 AM

My favourites are a toss up between Ariados, Kingdra and Crobat. Although I don't really dislike any of the Johto Pokémon, my least favourite would probably be Ursaring.

S-MAN March 19th, 2018 6:33 AM

favorite: :t187: for now
dislike: :t209:

IRON NIDOW March 20th, 2018 7:13 PM

I love feraligatr and l hate unown...

Sirfetch’d March 21st, 2018 12:49 PM

Tough one as gen 2 is one of the few generations where I don't really dislike any Pokemon. If I had to pick a favorite it would probably be Crobat as I've used it so many times and it's a staple for my teams. Octillery, Yanma, and Xatu are up there too.... If I had to pick a least favorite though it would probably be Skiploom? I don't particularly dislike it and I quite like Hoppip and Jumpluff but in comparison it's quite forgettable I guess.

Sydian March 21st, 2018 4:42 PM

Um I love them all and cannot think of a Pokemon I dislike in gen II, honestly. It's probably my favorite generation in terms of design. Everything just looks so good? Nothing feels too out of place. Some favorites are Umbreon, Quilava, Smeargle, Furret, Ledian, Celebi, Forretress... If I'm going to be forced into picking a least favorite, then um... I suppose...uhhhh... lmfao no i literally can't do it

strangerhypno March 21st, 2018 5:06 PM

All are my favorites or are decent. None of them, I dislike. I like even the least popular ones, such as Unown or Delibird

icycatelf March 24th, 2018 6:31 AM

Dunsparce is my favorite Johto-mon, though more for nostalgic reasons. Sneasel may be my favorite aesthetically.

I used to hate Ursaring because it just looked like a cartoon bear to me, not interesting enough to be a Pokémon. These days, Granbull is probably my least-favorite.

Adam Levine March 26th, 2018 1:01 AM

Sneasel uses to be my most favorite Pokémon of all time. Then other Pokémon got my attention, like Dunsparce and Quagsire.

My leaat favorite is probably Tyrogue. I don't dislike it; it's just mediocre.

Sylaphy April 13th, 2018 11:08 PM

My favorite Pokemon from generation two is Celebi. I think it's really cute, and I remember loving the movie that it was in, Pokemon 4Ever. That's also why Suicune is my favorite of the legendary beasts.

My least favorite is probably Stantler. I just think it's ugly, and there's no point in using it in battle.

Hyzenthlay April 14th, 2018 9:53 AM

Generation 2 is fantastic on so many levels, including its Pokémon! I'm going to have trouble narrowing down my favourites.

Suicune, Celebi, Quilava, Ledian, Octillery and Flaaffy were always among my most loved Johto Pokémon. I've trained the last four, but have yet to own Suicune and Celebi. I'm working on that!

Honourable mentions are Feraligatr, Ho-Oh, Furret, Meganium, Mareep and Ampharos. Crobat is cool too.

Least favourites? Um... Pupitar, Forretress and Stantler. Maybe Qwilfish.

Haha, now I get all those Xatu quips directed at you in the Pokémon Trivia section!

KorpiklaaniVodka v2.0 April 14th, 2018 1:32 PM

Obviously Crobat! I really, really like the concept behind it, it was one of the first pokemon to evolve via friendship, it's blazing fast, has a cool design and powerful utility moves.

My least liked are probably Umbreon and Igglybuff.

Hoenlad April 19th, 2018 12:01 AM

Umbreon and Espeon are amazing. So is Skarmory.
I will also defend Ho-Oh Against Lugia forever

I really don’t like Snubble and although the starters are cute I think the monotype starter idea is boring.

Edit: I forgot Octilery which I love

Cool_Porygon April 19th, 2018 1:30 AM

I like all of the legendaries, Espeon and Umbreon.
Least favourite probably Unown. It's disappointing. Delibird, Qwilfish and Shuckle weren't useful either.

Adrian new team aqua Leader April 19th, 2018 6:57 AM

Like: Typhlosion - Just off the fact itsthe first Fire-Starter that can learn "Thunder Punch" ... Think about that for a second

Dislike: Don't know since I've never completed Gen 2 due to the fact NEITHER My Silver or Crystal SAVE :'(

Hoenlad April 21st, 2018 2:08 AM

Favourite is probably Skarmory. The typing is great and I love Steel and come on people it’s a metal bird how can you not love this.

Milltank is the worst. It looks ridiculous, I think it’s meant to be good in battle but I don’t care I still hate it.
