4th Gen Favourite Gen 4 Pokemon

Empoleon is still my favorite starter. First try on Pearl i got it shiny and it was the first pokemon i got shiny that was level 100. I probably kept on using it up to X and Y because i wanted to try a new team.

Arceus rock

I am playing pokemon prism so here are my favs from Generation 4:

Frosslas
Gallade
Leafeon
Glaceon
Shieldon (it's so cute)
Mamoswine
Magnezone
Magmortal
Shinx line (yeah i know they aren't dogs, but i grew to it after seeing Clemont catch it)
Dusknoir (thought unoptainable in that game, the upgraded grim ripper looks badass)

I nicknamed my Empoleon "Napoleon". Fitting, no? XD

My favourite would have to be Torterra.
But what I really want to ask is why your opinion on Arceus is so negative?

Lucario, Garchomp, Togekiss, Honchkrow, Empoleon, Infernape, Darkrai, Shaymin, Mismagius, Roserade, Luxray.

Riolu, Lucario and the 2 Eeveelutions.

Wait... WHAT? Who hates Arceus?

I do. I mean, the creator of everything... that is actually a Pokemon that can be caught and used? The concept alone baffles me, but the execution really ticks me off. Also, I think it's ugly.

Giratina - design that really suits a powerful legendary pokemon, and its shiny colors are pretty awesome too!

I always had a soft spot in my heart for Gliscor. Weavile and Honchkrow are also cool; honestly, most of the evolutions introduced in this gen were well thought-out. Except Lickilicky. And Ambipom. We don't talk about them. Rotom is also a personal favorite of mine. The concept of a poltergeist who hides in various household objects is pretty cool and I like it's design. I only hope that Rotom Pokedex is available to train in S/M 2. Can't forget Staraptor either, he's by far the coolest early game bird.

As for ones I hate; hoo boy. I hate a lot of this gen to be perfectly honest, many of the designs seem either bland or stupid. I'm just gonna spoiler this...


Also, obligatory Lucario-is-overrated comment. I like the guy alright, but he never really left the impression on me that he did on a lot of other people.

For me it's Shaymin. I only thought Shaymin was 'ok' at first, but its sky forme made it my favourite Gen IV pokémon. Shaymin was one of the first event pokémon I ever received by wi-fi trade and also one of the first I received via wi-fi mystery gift, so it gives me fond memories of the early days of internet connectivity in pokémon.

Other cool Gen IV 'mons - Staraptor, Azelf, Floatzel, Lucario, Weavile, Giratina, Empoleon, Darkrai, Gallade, Dialga, Shellos, Cherrim, Frosslass, Gastrodon, Buizel and finally Luxray.

I'm a big fan of the new evolutions that were added in gen 4, I really like Electivire, Magnezone, Rhyperior etc. but still my favourite Pokemon from the gen is Lucario. Always has been. It's difficult to say exactly why, but its always been a Pokemon I appreciated and instantly grew on me, maybe the anime had something to do with it. I guess its design and genuine strength instantly appealed to me, the typing was nice too.

I actually love most of the new Pokemon here, some notable picks of mine including the Drifloon, Stunky, Riolu, Buneary, Shinx, Hippopotas and Buizel lines. I also all the starters and the new evolutions of older Pokemon such as Yanmega, Roserade, Ambipom, Tangrowth, Froslass and the two new Eeveelutions named Leafeon and Glaceon.

Oh, and Honchkrow and Mismagius too. Munchlax and Pachirisu are also super-adorable.

Drapion. Nuff said.

1. Dusknoir
2. Gastrodon
3. Porygon Z
4. Bastiodon
5. Spiritomb

My favorite is Porygon Z. It looks kinda wierd and i like that.

Diamond was my first pokemon game and so my favourite has to be the first pokemon I caught. It has to be. The first pokemon I had was chimchar but the first I caught was starly. At the time anyone I battled or all my friends ignored it and thought it was terrible. Now its actually one of the best regarded flying types. Also my first level 100, got there legitimately.

Shaymin at the moment
