For me, no Pokémon is useless. Crobat is very handy, although, I do admit having a Zubat appear every three steps in a cave is very annoying, but still. My list:

'Useless' Pokémon:
Plusle + Minun
Caterpie
Kakuna / Metapod
Wurmple
Burmy

Annoying Pokémon:
Zubat
Tentacool
Magikarp
Bidoof

The most annoying for me would be Bidoof/Bibarel. I really hate those horrible cries and disturbing features... @_x;;

Though generally not for anything in the games, I hate Mudkip because of the whole stupidly annoying "So I herd you liek Mudkipz" thing. Thankfully, its fully evolved form is awesome. ^^

Zubat and Golbat are terribly annoying... especially when a lot of the time, when you're travelling through caves, they are ALL you will encounter. If you've got a slower Pokemon at the same or a close level as a Golbat, say goodbye to a chance of a getaway without taking damage or getting confused, so that when you change your mind and decide to kill it, you'll hit yourself out of confusion... >.< (in my experience, it takes about 3 attempts to flee from a Golbat, when your Pokemon is at a similar level to it)

Kricketot and Kricketune; the latter especially annoys me, because of that horrific cry... it makes my ears bleed... ;-; Whenever I see one come into battle, I turn the volume down really quickly.

As for useless, the only one I'll go with is Unown. Magikarp and Abra at least have a reason for sucking; they evolve into more awesome Pokemon, later on. Unown don't evolve and like has been said, has only one attack; Hidden Power.

Three most annoying Pokémon of all time:



Zigzagoon: I swear, if there is anything that made your third generation games a disappointment, it's probably down to Zigzagoon. Not only did the fox-dog-cat-beaver creature pop up everywhere, it was also a complete waste of time battling him, because the experience points you received were not worth it at all. I don't know how many times I must've run from Zigzagoon while I played through my game, but I'm betting if I put all that time into writing a presidential victory speech, it'd end up better than Obama's.



Zubat: Call me bias if you will, but this Pokémon here managed to secure a place in the top five by running into me in Mount Moon when I restarted my Firered a while ago. Now, I admit that by reading that sentence alone, I look like an utter prick who's so worried about his valuable time on earth that he can't stand running into a measly Zubat because it might delay him, but I assure you that this is not the case! The Pokémon I encountered was a shiny; alternately coloured; unbelievably rare. So I'm excited and happy. I'm going to catch a shiny! I whittle his hit points down a bit and it hits red a couple of seconds later. So I decided that was enough; I look in my bag to find a Poké Ball to throw at him, and I find out that I have none left. Devastated, I smash my Gameboy Advance against the wall. Havn't played Firered since. Other irritating facts about the bat is that it always attacks you at the wrong time; normally when your last Pokémon is poisoned and you need to get to a Pokémon Center.



Mewtwo: Not necessarily one of the Pokémon you instantly hate because of its looks or its power, but moreso the amount of effort and humiliation put into catching it. After you eventually make it lose a bit of its health, it gets it back by using Recover. After that, it proceeds to reveal that it was just playing with you and destroys half of your team. Then it evades sixty Ultra Balls, so you're forced to waste a Master Ball on a Pokémon you're never going to use. Not a cool cat.

Three most useless Pokémon of all time:



Dunsparce: Why am I posting a sprite of Dunsparce in this thread? I don't know. It doesn't make sense, does it? Why would Ken choose to create some sort of mixture of a lizard and a fish? I don't know either. It also doesn't make sense. In fact, Dunsparce's pitiful existence doesn't make sense. It can't do anything; it doesn't follow up any sort of side-quest. At all. It's only there for people to finish their PokéDex, and that's not a proper reason at all. Have you realised that every Pokémon has some sort of function? That they aren't entirely useless? Hell, Magicarp exists to evolve into Gyrados. What about Dunsparce? Nope, nothing. Easily one of the most overlooked, unloved, neglected and useless Pokémon of all time.



Quilfish: If you ask the general Pokémon gaming population what a Quilfish is, they'll look at you blankly. And that's okay. I'm not surprised and I don't really blame them. Why? Because the Pokémon doesn't serve any sort of purpose at all. Much like Dunsparce, it only existed to be caught in swarms to show how high-tech Pokémon Gold and Silver were.



Zigzaggon: That's right, folks. This Pokémon features on both lists? Why has it made it to the most useless as well? I advise you to read my other paragraph about it, and then stare at it for about thirty seconds. The answer should become clear eventually.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Most everything that came out of Generation III.
I quote this for immeasurable truth.
I hated Hoenn and everything about it. Yes, including Mudkip.

Also, Magikarp, Bidoof, Golbat (UURGH), and possibly Buneary.

Magikarp is useless until it evolves into Gyarados.

If we thought Gyarados was useless, we would say that Gyarados was useless. But we (well, I) think that it's prevolution is useless. A useless Pokemon can have a useful evo. |/endrant|

I hate training Magikarp. It has to be the single most uselessly annoying and annoyingly useless Pokémon ever. Yes, it evolves into Gyarados but you have to work damned hard to get to that stage (Especially if you're at the beginning of the game). Training him up earlier took me the best part of an hour and a half, and that's using an emulator with the speed toggle on. Would have taken me at least 3 on a normal Game Boy!

That said, i'm reaping the benefits now with Gyarados. I've only got 3 badges and he's already at level 50. 95% of the training is from trainer battles (I raised him 4 or so levels in Diglett's Cave before I fought Surge), and i've been offered very little challenge from anyone so far.

So in short, Magikarp is awful to train, but it's worth it for Gyarados imo.

Tsk, even though I hate to say it, I personally think that Magikarp, Bidoof, and Tentacool are quite annoying.

To me, I just think that no Pokémon is useless, as somewhere in this world, a person might find each and everyone useful.

Personally I don't reckon any pokemon is deemed 'useless' to me. At least the ones that are ineffective in combat have some uses in contests =P.

Most annoying pokemon... lets see:
Zubat: Now don't get me wrong here, I love Zubat coz they're so adorable and cuddly to my opinion =D, and they're good sweepers towards the end, if they evolve that is.
The major problem with them is the fact they overpopulate in caves and every criminal organisation (Rocket, Magma, Aqua and Galactic) have these pokemon with them which can get on my nerves.

Tentacool: Yea, those buggers drive me nuts, no really. They're way too common out at sea and they literally drive me nuts. Trainers out at sea also raise them and they can be a pain when it comes to defense and the fact they can confuse you.

Zigzagoon: They're like everywhere in Hoenn and it's really annoying. Plus, most of the beginning trainers have them. Nonetheless, they are useful HMers to my opinion.

Bidoof: Similar reasons to the Zigzagoon, those overpopulating Bidoofs seems to be everywhere in Sinnoh games, and yea, it's kinda frustrating to see them everywhere.

Magikarp: They appear too much when you fish, not just Old and Good Rod but Super Rod too aww =(.

dunsparce because it has garbage moves, horrible stats, no evolution, plus it looks like a deformed snorlax

unknown is pretty useless

theres no strategy to use for either of them, uknown only has one move and dunsparce doesn't learn any worthwhile ones

no pokemon is annoying if you have repel :)

The pokemon I hate are any pokemon that is totally useless until it evolves or gets to level like 13 or something, or only knows bide until then, except magikarp.
Why? Because it's magikarp's only claim to fame, that you have to switch it out. Honestly, seedot is totally a stupid pokemon, it only learns bide and whenever I use it my opponents use nothing but tail whip for two turns and then hit me when my defense is low as soon as bide isn't in effect.

I think magikarp is a cool pokemon, because you get a real feeling of accomplishment when you beat the elite four with a gyrados that you trained from a level five magikarp (I did this on diamond).

I also like zubat, because it's one of the only pokemon you can get early in the game that evolves by happiness, and for some reason i think that's cool (I wish it didn't show up in caves all the time though)

The pokemon I hate the most is definitely bibarrel or bronzong. Bibarrel is ugly, useless, and stupid, and the only shiny pokemon I ever found was a bibarrel, which somehow makes me hate them even more >:( Bronzong sucks because it is freaking impossible to beat, it took down all of my pokemon and it was five levels lower than all of them too.

Arceus is annoying just because it's more powerful than any pokemon in the game, but it can only be got from an event. This just bugs me, especially the fact that if you hack yourself to the area where he is there's no way to get out. Nintendo would rather have our games be totally broken then let us get the strongest pokemon in the game without having to wait for the event to come to the U.S? What the heck?

Also, I love dunsparce.
