I really like the design of Galvantula =) No idea why, but since the beginning that's been my favorite pokémon in the 5th generation.

I dislike the fact that Alomomola, Bouffalant only looks like evolutions to Luvdisk and Tauros. I was hoping for more evolutions, maybe more of the Eevee evolutions and for some pokemon that's just unusable.

I love steel, hate bug and then Ferro came along... i've been told it's a fantastic pokemon to use but i just can't bring myself to use it. I just don't think it will be any good for me and my team. I now have 3 teams for generation 5 and it's not in there. What do you guys think?

never even bothered to properly check it out really but just looked on bulbapedia now and its only got 489 base stats, its movepool would make it a good sweeper, but the good moves only come with high levels. I wouldnt bother in my opinion it looks pretty **** ha

(First just to let you know its steel and grass not bug.) I suppose its a personal preference but I really like ferrothorn. Its defense is high and it resists nearly everything. Its knot really a strong attacker but it can act as a wall which can really help. I guess it really depends on your strategy.

I'd just like to point out it's Grass/Steel, not Bug/Steel. ;) Anyway, its type is unique, which is good. Visually, it isn't that great, but it's not the worst. Personally, I think Ferroseed looks better. It learns good moves though, like Power Whip. I dislike Ferrothorn though, just because a trainer doesn't use it so I have to evolve a Ferroseed to get it in my PokeDex. XD

I think it's really great. I loved steel types for their high defense. Also the type combo is really special. So for me it is a win.

I've been shown that curse and lowering it's speed with gyro ball can kill a lot of things and it's becoming a threat, i just never really say the appeal to it. Also sorry my bad, i assumed it was a bug pokemon lol

It's a great pokemon but I probably wont use it cause its OU. I tend to only like NU/UU pokemon.

I love my Ferrothorn. With Iron Barbs and Rocky Helmet + high defense, when people attack it physically they're hurt pretty badly. In addition, Power Whip is a nice STAB move, and his low speed really helps Gyro Ball out. I love it. 83

I like my Ferrothorn too! It can turn into a monster once I'm done using 2 Curses on it and then used Gyro ball to finish off the opponents, I actually used it's pre evo to beat Iris (Who I kept losing to until I did so)...

Our Likes and Dislikes thread covers your opinion on this Pokémon as well as others too. We'll use that active discussion to share your thoughts on Ferrothorn.

I enjoy druddigon though everyone else seems to hate and reniculus because it reminds me of pikimin and the rest i have no problem with not my favorite Pokemon but they're fine

Going with the Ferrothorn discussion, I think it's a lot better designed than Forretress was because it has 3 spiky whips. It's also bulkier than Forretress, IMO.

Yeah it so is. I can just imagine right now it spinning real fast with it's spiky arms XD Plus it just looks so vicious and cool unlike the timid looking Forretress.

I actually liked MOST of the Pokemon in this gen.
The one family that pissed me off though.. was the Timburr line
SRSLY WHERE THE HECK DO THEY GET THESE RANDOM BLOCKS OF TIMBER OF BLOCKS OR WHATEVER 3JUTNH34P9TU4RHBJ RS

Those blocks are the best part of them! ...yeah I find their random timber blocks adorable, I don't know why, but the fact that they're random makes them awesome. XD Same would apply to Pokemon like Farfetch'd, where do their sticks come from lol.

i dislike most of them tbh...

though i really love Chandelure. but then, i love all ghost types<3
Cottonee's evolution and Mienshao are cute too. and i want a meloetta event asap!

Koballion irritates me. and Tornadus slash Thunderus. basically all the legendaries except Viriion actually.

the whole point of Black and White was that the new Pokémon had NO link to the old ones, so it felt like a new experience again :)

Some of the Unova Pokemon share relations with the older ones:
-Snivy, Tepig Oshawott = Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh starters (starter Pokemon)
-Patrat line = Rattata, Sentret, Zigzagoon and Bidoof lines (regional rodents)
-Pidove line = Pidgey, Hoothoot, Taillow and Starly lines (regional birds)
-Roggenrola line = Geodude line (common Rock Pokemon that reach their final forms by trading)
-Woobat line = Zubat line (regional bats that reach final forms through happiness)
-Drilbur line = Diglett line (moles)
-Audino = Chansey (seen with Nurse Joy in the anime, have massive HP and reward a lot of EXP when defeated)

-Maractus = Cacnea line (cacti)
-Scraggy line = Croagunk line (similar appearances, part Fighting type)
-Tirtouga/Archen lines = Omanyte, Kabuto, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos and Shieldon lines (fossils)
-Trubbish line = Grimer, Koffing and Gulpin lines (2-stage Poison evolutionary line)
-Zorua line = Riolu line (evolved forms debuted in movies prior to their generation, even though Zorua was introduced along with Zoroark, and Riolu was not introduced with Lucario)
-Gothita line = Ralts line (reason to be confirmed at some point)
-Solosis line = Abra line (3-stage Psychic evolutionary line)
-Ducklett line = Psyduck and Wingull lines (2-stage Water bird evolutionary line)
-Emolga = Pichu line, Plusle, Minun and Pachirisu (Electric rodent)

-Heatmor/Durant = Zangoose/Seviper (rivals)
-Deino line = Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, Beldum and Gible lines (pseudo-legends)
-Legendary musketeers and legendary Kamis = Legendary birds, legendary beasts, Regis, lake trio (legendary trios)
-Reshiram/Zekrom = Lugia/Ho-oh, Kyogre/Groudon, Dialga/Palkia (version mascots)
-Meloetta = Shaymin (legendaries with 2 forms)
-Genesect = Mewtwo (Pokemon created through genetics)

I must say, I love the design of Eelektross ^^ And Emboar :D

1-Eelektross
2-Emboar
3-Brivary
4-Hydergion (The three headed dragon thing?)
5-Krookodile

That's it, untill I fall in love with another one..

My fave Generation V Pokemon design-wise is Gothitelle.

I'm going to get one in Black for sure!

My least fave, definitely Garbodor. It looks trashy (it is trash, literally).

I actually love Garbodor's design. I don't know why; it's just really awesome to me for some reason.

I still haven't warmed up to Garbador. It is so damn ugly, idk it looks like a thrown out washing machine Rotom. Its mouth ruins is, Muk is a million times more pretty ;x Poor Garbador, unloved.I feel so, so, so sorry for any pokemon, especially Ditto, who has to breed with it XD

The Pokemon in Unova?
lol bye

Seriously, they're ugly. I was hoping for a ton of beautiful Ice/Water Pokemon, but all I got were 156 disfigured pieces of...nvm.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I suppose.
What you may think is ugly is actually quite awesome and majestic in the eyes of other people.
