You know, ever since the red and blue days I was sick of Pikachu and how the anime made it out to be this epic invincible pokemon but mine always had really low defense and tend to get killed with one well placed physical attack.

So, from that list, Pikachu. I'm sick of it and all the pikachu clones (Pachirisu, Minun/Plusle, and Pichu(I know it's a baby, but still...)). Too much focus on such a weak character. It's cute, yeah, but that's no excuse... :|

Now, if we weren't going by that list, I'd have to say Alakazam as far as the game is concerned. Mostly overrated by the designers of the game since they think it's good enough to be a trade evolution but it's usually pretty easy to kill, again, with one well placed physical attack. I've also seen a few of them in competition, and they've all gone down really easily, usually without even landing a blow.

I don't think anyone overrates Pikachu in battles as far as the video games go.

The anime, however, is a totally different story. How many times have we seen Ash's Pikachu take out way stronger Pokemon with just a simple Thundershock or any other little attack? Heck, it can even manage to take out Ground-types like Geodude and Onix; two Pokemon that, normally, should not be effected by Pikachu's electrical attacks at all. The amount of victories it get's in the anime is ridiculous.

As far as the games, it's a tough call. If you're a good enough player at Pokemon games (and by all means, you should be, since the AI is horrible), and you're good with EV's, movesets, and that kind of stuff, you can make any Pokemon strong.

Lucario, I blame the furries and Brawl. It's a darn shame Mewtwo got replaced with...that.
Hehe, I've been saying the same thing since Brawl was released. Although Mewtwo really wasn't all that great in Melee (surprisingly, it was pretty weak), it was still a cool character to have in the game.

Now that I think about it, I kinda wish they had kept Pichu in as well. Because Pichu rocks, obviously. =P

Hmmm.. that's a tough question - Lucario, Mew, and Eevee have far too many fans, imo, so I guess I consider them to be the most overrated?
It's not that I dislike them or anything, but it's starting to get on my nerves seeing them, along with Pikachu, everywhere.

Yeah I agree. If I really wanted to watch an anime that has very very predictable outcomes I would just go ahead and watch Prince of Tennis, and that's still more interesting!
Ash releases strong pokemon and Paul releases weak pokemon.Ash=stupid,Paul=smart.
Congratulations! Your Super Smash Bros. Melee has evolved into Super Smash Bros. Brawl!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl wants to learn the character Lucario.
However, Super Smash Bros. Brawl already knows four pokemon characters.
Should a character be deleted and replaced with Lucario?
Which character should be forgotten?
1,2, and... ... ... Poof!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl forgot Mewtwo.
And...
Super Smash Bros. Brawl learned Lucario!

I just voted Flareon because I couldn't comprehend how that thing could even make it to this poll.


Fun fact of the week: Did you know that with 252 SpD EVs, Bold Cloyster's SpD increases by 50%?

Greatest regret in Platinum: Selling almost all of my Star Pieces.

Pikachu. The thing's undeserved popularity knows no limits.

And Lucario isn't overrated. It's a machine in competitive battling, and a fantastic character in Brawl. It's also one of the more-inspired pokémon designs as of late. It deserves its popularity, or at least has enough things going for it to merit some.

That's your opinion- not mine.
Pretty much every legendary pokemon is overated to me.
Theres really no point for legendary pokemon they're a
waste of space. Its really annoying to see other trainers
use legendary pokemon in their teams, its pretty much
taking the easy way out. Lately Hoenn and Sinnoh have
been making a ton of legendaries. Even ones that have
little to do with the game. Honestly whats the point of
Darkrai, Cresselia, Phione, Manaphy, Heatran, The Regis,
and Jirachi? They don't have any role of major importence.
They should of saved these for future games. I won't be
surprised if the newest region has twice as many legendaries
as Sinnoh.

Pikachu, all the Eeveelutions, and Lucario, yes Lucario my friends! He is overrated and although I originally thought he was a decent Pokemon I've become very much so averse and disgusted in him as a Pokemon.

I don't find Pikachu to be overrated, though. It's the series' mascot. Of course a lot of people who does not know Pokémon would obviously heard of Pikachu.

I think Lucario is quite overrated. I have no hate against it, but it is not that great of a Pokémon.

Not that I have anything against Pikachu (except for that time it got Porygon perma-banned from the animie), it's just that it's EVERYWHERE! Sure, we get it, it's cute, now lets get on to the next pokemon!

Pikachu. Even though it is the mascot they centralized it way too much. These people: Bibliophibian, CresseliaLover, GhostPrincess, KostK2Boss are naughty for choosing Arcanine over-rated. >=(

Lucario. Hands down. I hate his design, I dont like his swagger, I hate his voice. Lol okay im done. But seriously, just look at his thigh's. Weird stuff.

Honestly whats the point of
Darkrai, Cresselia, Phione, Manaphy, Heatran, The Regis,

With the exception of the Regis, I totally agree with you. I really hold nothing but distain for all of the unnecessary legendaries. It takes the specialness out of the pre-existing ones.

Hey, don't hate on the Regis, they are my favorite trio. This is the reason for there legendary classification:

Regirock: was form from the Stone Age.
Regice: was form from the Ice Age.
Registeel: was form from the Iron Age.

I haven't even answered my own question yet. I think the most overrated Pokemon is Darkrai. In competitive battling, I have to say Cresselia.

I notice the overwhelming level of Pika-hate emanating from this thread. That's exactly why I'm tired of the anime, and why I'm sick of Nintendo using us as the Pokemon mascot. True, there are fan clubs everywhere, but for every fan there's a hater. I just don't care for that ratio.

Unfortunately, it's been the standard for so long that there's a less-than-zero chance of it changing. And as for the cute thing...I honestly just don't see it. I mean, I don't think I'm cute (or at least as cute as I'm supposed to be, anyway,) and...there's just more to us than that!

As much as it pains me to do it, I have to go with Pikachu...but ONLY because Nintendo pushes it too hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm not self-hating - well, not for THAT reason, anyway - it's just Nintendo severely overdoes it.

Pikachu the representation is overrated due to Nintendo, but NOT Pikachu the species.

Lucario. Why?

-Any pokemon with average attack that he can't kill can kill him in one.

-Almost all pokemon movesets in competitive battling have a ground or fighting move. Oh, what a coincidence, they're the types Lucario is weak against!

-The movie made Lucario look mystical, cool and strong with that aura thing.

-People think he should be a legendary, then Magmortar, Electivire and Togekiss are more uber uber uber uber hyper mega infernal thunderly liek lolerz OMG magestiv uber than Arceus.

-My gabite lv 50 (yes, I didn't evolve him until a few levels more when he learned dragon rush) resisted one aura sphere and killed him with dig :/
