5th Gen Favorite & least favourite Pokemon of the 5th Gen?

Volcarona is a great lead but its 4 times weakness to rock and the popularity of stealth rock are the only thing holding it back. Start with a rapid spin and it is a great Gen V pokémon

@Hikari - Reuniclusis seriously one of the coolest pokemon in B/W IMO.

I wasn't aware everyone had a beef with it, judging by the people that voted in this topic http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=275633 and the comments they made as to how great it is and how much they liked it.

I'm not just referring to this forum jsyk.

Escavalier and Accelgor are definitely among my favorites (pre-evos too)

Their concept is clever and they just look boss among the unfavorable bug type.

Hydreigon. It's a three-headed dragon. That's all I need to say. Cofagarius in a close 2nd, though.

Mienshao's design for me is probably the best, I don't know it just looks so elegant or something :)

Also love Ducklett, Braviary, Tirtouga, Minccino, Sawsbuck, Durant, Cobalion and Reshiram :)

Really hard! xP

I'd say...Emolga, Sewaddle, Tepig, Zorua, Minncino, Axew, Oshawott and Snivy. xP

Ok, I hate Unova Pokemon in general but I can deal with very few Pokemon from Unova

Snivy and its evolutionary chain and Oshawott and it's evolutionary form looks retarded.

I'd have to say my favorites are:


Even though I've been let down by my own Druddigon (his nature suck, and I didn't realize it until recently), I will always love it. It does have high attack and I think it looks funny, but that's one of the reasons it's my favorite from this region.


This is one of the best designed Pokemon ever, in my opinion. I picked it as my starter and it has NEVER let me down. I use it with Coil + Leaf Blade, and sometimes Slam (for those that are good against grass).


This thing. When I first saw it I thought it was a joke. Then, when I got the game, I found myself wanting it more and more, until I got it! I love it! It's such a special sweeper, and it's just so great.


This thing is such a beast! It's fast and it's attack is amazingly high! Plus, it's also really well designed.


This is also a beast. My Krookodile was always really powerful even with a bad nature. I think it's really cool looking too. Get one.

Other ones I like or think look good/cool/cute:


Oh and sorry for copying Hikari's idea with the gif and the explanation

Do not be hating.

I'd say I'm split between Druddigon and Haxorus. On one hand, Haxorus has a massive Attack stat that nearly rivals Rayquaza, though it has a gaping hole in it's special defense. Druddigon's speed is... well, bad, though it's got great defenses in both stats, and it's attack is pretty good for a single stage. In terms of design, I'd have to say Haxorus wins.. Though Druddigon's potential is what interests me the most there.

SHADES AND SMUGS FOREVER, MAN.

Shades has freaking shades, and Smugs is just so smug. It's obvious, really.

I'd say Haxorus, I guess, But I really like em all, for the most part

Vanilluxe, Zekrom, Chandelure, Swanna, Liligant, Serperior, Oshawott, and Larvesta.

Axew line- is pretty well recieved all over in both abliities and looks so I don't think I need to explain any further.
Sandile line- I love reptiles so a crocodile Pokemon was a must for me. This was the first gen V pokemon I saw and thought "Must have"
hydreigon - A three headed dragon is cool in itself but there is something about this guy that just seems... evil. And evil is cool. Pokemon like Tyranitar and Houndoom may look threatning but hydreigon is on a diffrent level. Mewtwo was supposed to be the only pokemon that was born nasty but I think it may have a challenger.
Lilipup line- In sharp contrast to the above Lilipup just looks cute and full of personality. Hearder and Stoutland live up to Lilipup.
archeops- Being a fossil nerd I was very happy to see this pokemon, on I immediatly recognised as archeopteryx, the first bird. That alone wins it for me, the massive attack is just another plus.

Galvantula is definitely my absolute favourite. It has an adorable pre-evolution, and an awesome type combination (two of my favourites). Archeops takes a close second place, mostly because it saved me so many times when I first played through White.

As for Pokemon I'm not a fan of... there's not really any one I can point out. I even like the less popular ones, like Garbodor and Vanilluxe. I'm pretty fond of most of the Gen 5 designs.

My most favorite is probably Serperior, and my least favorite is, well, I don't have one, I like all of them in some way, but none will be better than the 1st generation.
