Is there a Pokemon you just can't stand, but it gets so much love? A Pokemon that just gets on your nerves, but everyone seems to love it? If so, say it here. Now, what I think is the most overrated Pokemon isn't even an opinion, at this point it's become a fact.

IT'S THIS ASS :




A fighting dog that shoots Kamehameha's and is the main jack off of every 2 year old Pokemon fan, and every Sinnoh-tard. Why the hell is it steel type? Did it really deserve a place in Super Smash Brothers Brawl? Why is it so damn over powered and over exaggerated? What makes all you people so horny over this dumb ass psychic wolf?
And it is just me, or does it function more like a human than a Pokemon? This piece of crap is the main reason I hated Sinnoh. Just horrible.

Well folks, that's the end of my rant. Now start your ranting, or feel free to disagree with what I think. Go.

I can't think of any pokemon that I consider paricularly overrated from a competitive standpoint. Skarmory is surely the most annoying thing to fight ever, leading to my eternal dislike of it, but I wouldn't call it overrated because its heavy usage is perfectly justified by it's amazing stats and movepool making it the perfect physical wall. XD

I'm also not a big fan of Lucario, but again, it's far from overrated because his overuse is backed up by amazing stats and an unpredictable movepool. Actually, I think his usage has been decreasing a little since Infernape became popular. XD

It doesn't annoy me that much, but.... Darkrai. Why do people love it so much? Or more like, why did people love it so much, as they used to when everyone was playing D/P/Pt. And also because I want one XD

Pikachu. Not ranting. I'm moving this to Pokemon General since this is more about the Pokemon than the games. SandslashFTW, once again, try to keep yourself cool as a cucumber, otherwise you'll see a locked sitting atop this thread soon enough.

The most overrated Pokemon is the entire 1st gen. I like my Rattatas as much as the next guy, but people need to give it a break. The people parading around insisting that all the Pokemon suck after the first Generation are just stuck up or not used to change. The more the better I say. The games would get boring if it was the same 151 over and over again.

But some people fail to realize this and are too stuck in their own little world to notice there is nothing wrong with the new Pokemon.

I don't hate any Pokemon, I just feel it's idiotic for people -anyone, I don't care how old they are, to whine about a generation or how one generation is better then the rest. it doesn't work that way. They're all Pokemon, and people need to stop going on butthurt tangents about them.

(By the way, does MR. MIME function more like a HUMAN or a POKEMON?)

The entirety of the first two gens. Don't get me wrong, they look good, but they're not the best, imo. Remember this, IN MY OPINION. People have a right to their opinion. They're basically animals with superpowers. THERE ARE GOOD DESIGNS, but I dunno, people hype them up WAAAAAAAAAY too much.

I only hate Manaphy, but I can still think a pokemon is overrated. I happen to think the first two gens are. I STILL LIKE THEIR DESIGNS, but the hype people give them, in my opinion and that's all it will ever be is an OPINION, is a bit too much.

I never said I liked Mr. Mime. And nobody's getting wet in their pants over any Mr. Mime, only Lucario. And no, B&W "Pokemon" aren't Pokemon. They're machines. Along with many Sinnoh Pokemon.

By the way, this thread has nothing to do with the stats of Pokemon. It's about the design.

I'd have to say it's exactly the opposite. And aren't Pokemon supposed to be animals with superpowers? I'd much rather have an actual animal than some machine garbage like Metagross, Bronzong, Giratina, and Zekrom. Also....

"HURR DURR TAKE OFF YOUR NOSTALGIA GLASSES HURR DURR MAGNETON DUGTRIO DODRIO HURR DURR RATTATA IS A MOUSE", you get the point. Good god, what do you expect of the first Pokemon you encounter? :/
It's a rat, deal with it.



I see these two a lot. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike them, but I do dislike how everyone and their dog has one on their team.
Couldn't agree with you more on that one.
Especially with Salamence.

What did I say about stats? What did you say about design? Ohwaitnothing. And, I lol at your use of 'machines'. Those cloudmen, look like machines to me. And smugleaf, my goodness, that's a machine. All those awesome new bug types? Machines man. All Machines.

So does Infernape and Glameow and Azelf and Garchomp and Gallade. Oh man I'm bleeding.

I was talking about the thread in general, not your post.
All B&W Pokemon fail, and that's a fact.
Also...
Infernape - lol blazekin
Glameow - lol skitty
Azelf - lol celebi
Garchomp - lol another overpowered pseudo-legendary dragon for sinnoh-lovers to dry hump
Gallade - lol scyther & another evolution to the antisocial queer and ballerina that is ralts and kirlia

Because they're both the mouse pokemon and they're both yellow!111~!!!1`111`1`1

Uh, are you retarded? Mentally ill? Just checking, because last time I checked Sandslash looked nothing like Pikachu.
Oh, glad to see you're having fun. I love talking to Sinnoh-tards too.

Next you're going to tell me about your wonderful comic, Sonislash, right? I'm not the one totally and unfairly biased against a bunch of great new Pokemon. You say that the new Pokemon are similar to old ones for your reasons of hate (All pokemon have similarities with at least one other) , and you can't even find a halfway decent reason to dislike Gen 5.

When it comes to legendaries, it's not the pokemon but the fanbase for me. Especially for [email protected] They can be so crazy. x_x
I don't think I can agree with this any more than I do.

I love legendaries, but people making entire teams out of them is ridiculous.

Tsutaaja. Honestly, it's like everyone is obsessed with it and I don't even understand why people love it so much, I mean, sure, it's okay, but Pokabu/Mijumaru are much better imo. Just "Smugleaf" uuuugh. :(

Sorry, but I couldn't resist. XP

I like most of the fifth generations, myself. My favorites would have to be Waruvial, Ononokus, Tsutarja, Zorua, and Zoroark.

Oh, and another Pokémon? Ratatta. I mean, I know Joey's is in the top percentage, but isn't it bad enough that we run into them EVERYWHERE and have to deal with his phone calls? I mean, come on, they could have at least changed it up a bit there.

I would love the fire starter if it stayed a quadruped. Boars are cool. Giant sumo-wrestling pigs? Ehhhh. And Zoroark is awesomeee.
