  • Wow so much hate for Koffing ;~;

    Anyway, Rattata is probably my least favorite Pokemon of all time actually, at least until gen 6 but that's a discussion for another time, haha.

    In gen 2 it's probably Shuckle. It's just so damn useless and bland.

  • Gen 1: OMG Mr. Mime... Don't even get me started... In my opinion one of the worst ideas ever in the Pokemon World... It's gender-unsure (come on, females are still called "Mr" at least make them 100% male...) and just creepy in a way (yes I dislike clowns in general too).
    Second, I always thought Jynx was kinda weird and creepy too, looks like your gross and chubby aunt you never like to kiss. But at least it's 100% female...

    Gen 2
    : The first Pokemon that I dislike in this Gen has to be Azumarill. Period. Just looks like a painted Easter Egg with huge ears (and it took AAAGES to catch a Marill in Mt. Mortar; NOT worth it!). Facing one in battle makes me want to KO it immediately.
    Second, eventhough I trained one in my first adventure in the G/S/C games, I never found Jumpluff to be that useful and appealing.
    Third, Smeargle. Just... omg .__. He is a pain to catch and then his only move, Sketch, is quite a creative move but I only find this useful when you manage to have the luck to get the timing right to copy a great move.
    Fourth, sorry to say but I never liked Dunsparce all that much too. Just not appealing and useful (no evolution) in battles AT ALL. Sure, he is kinda cute in Mystery Dungeon for the 3DS, but... Gen.2? Never Ever gonna and will train one...

    Gen 1: Ekans and Arbok. Honestly the most useless Pokemon ever when you use it, their typings, stats and movepools all suck major balls, and when you fight against one it wraps you for hours and is just an all-round piece of crap.

    Gen 2: Ledian. Did anyone ever use this for any reason? It was just another Bug/Flying, but one so weak and useless it made Butterfree look like a freakin' Mewtwo. Plus Ledyba has the most irritating looking face ever.

    Zubat is the most annoying pokemon in history. No wait, I hate it when you face a fishermin with a full team of magicarp. Okay, now that is annoying.

  • My least favourite Pokémon...hm. Probably Weedle, actually. Nothing against bug types, but Weedle/its attacks just never appealed to me!

    For generation 1, it would have to be a tie between Weedle and Zubat for me. Nothing would anger me more early on in the game than when I'd get poisoned by Weedle, and Zubat is just plain annoying. Also, I believe that Butterfree is a much more usable pokemon than Beedrill and Crobat didn't exist in Gen I.

    For generation 2, I'd probably pick Snubbull/Granbull. It's a normal-type Pokemon that is outclassed by many other normal-types you could find at or shortly after that area.

  • For the first generation, definitely Zubat. It didn't serve a use in the first generation games, and it was really pesky and a pain to deal with. Thank God it got Crobat in the next generation, a Pokemon that's actually on my Gold team. d:

    The second generation has the Hoppip line. I have no issues with their appearances, I personally think Jumpluff's adorable, but their movepools are just useless. For instance, it starts with Splash. Along with that, the line learns its first good move at, wait for it...

    LEVEL 36.
    Until then, you're stuck using Leech Seed/Tackle stall.

  • When it comes to the first generation, I cannot stand Zubats and Tentacool/Tentacruels because they appear too frequently and I always had to waste majority of my money on max repels. The second generation of Pokemon really didn't piss me off, but I just never liked Dunsparce or Miltank.

    i will post what I dont like because of its design, and what I dont like to use and what I dont like to face.

    Usability: Porygon You have to build up a lot to get him and he ends up being pretty useless. Ugh so much time spent at that casino.

    It's so frustrating!

    When I imagine Porygon, I see a Pokemon with a huge potential, not only in battle, then it comes to be useless...

    Porygon could a bizarre super computer with a passive capable of foreseeing moves and so on!

    Ugh, I hated Golbat in both games! If I didn't have a strong enough Pokémon to OHKO it, then it would use Supersonic and I would have to deal with the confusion thereafter. Many times a Pokémon 10 levels ahead of a wild Golbat would lose because of this move. I absolutely hated it when grinding for EXP across Victory Road.

  • Zubat is definitely my least favorite Pokemon from the first generation. Since then, it has continued to be a complete nuisance in every new installment it appears in. Later the Zubat line was graced with an awesome final stage in Crobat, so they aren't all bad. Tentacool comes close in second place.

    Johto is my second favorite region behind Hoenn, so it's hard for me to pick a concept that I dislike. I'll go with Sudowoodo, mainly because it didn't seem like a Pokemon to me. I also thought it was a grass type in my first play through Silver, which cause some problems in trying to beat it, haha.

    I don't like Tangela and Snubbul, just for the design. Tangela always looked like a ball of blue spaghetti to me, and i don't like the real life inspiration of Snubbul.

    ya same, I still don't like them to this day XD
