Pikachu. And it's my birthday, so please don't get my blood boiling by asking me to point out exactly why I despise this freak of nature.

Exactly why do you despise that freak of nature?

Seriously though, why have a pikachu when you could have a raichu? Just use a freakin' thunderstone, Ash, or I will stone pikachu with them.....

Well, Hoothoot's commonness is irritating, particularly as owls aren't very common...but it's hardly overrated, is it?

For me:



Don't get me wrong, it's awesome, cool, and incredibly devastating...it's just...unusable as everybody carried 4 counters whilst it was in OU, and their 5th or 6th pokemon was always going to be Salamence too. I got to the phase where it was like "*yawn* yeah, go ahead and kill my pokemon....Vaporeon's gonna get you anyway"

I don't hate it, I love it. It was just a tad ruined...

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.
How could you not put Metagross? Everytime I go on Pokemon Online, there is always at least three people with a Metagross. I'm not saying I don't like it, actually, I like it quite alot, but it's way too overrated and overused in the metagame!

Charizard for sure. I don't get why people like it so much. Also Infernape. Blaziken is a hundred times superior.
When I was younger, Charizard was everyone's favorite because it was the rarest card. It was more of a bragging right to say your favorite was Charizard then anything else.

Happy birthday!!:cer_smile:

ON topic:

First things first: All the legendaries.

Gen I: Charizard & Pidgeot, you were considered an idiot if you'd decide not to have them in your team. ( I had Blastoise and I believe Fearow BTW) Oh wait, I forgot about Alakazam

Gen II: Lugia, out off all the legendaries, this one takes the take. My god everybody had this guy on his team, along with charizard and pidgeot.

Gen III: Blaziken & Salamence, everybody chose the fire starter in hoenn, I was one of the few in school who'd chose Swampert. Bagon was virtually unknown back then,but he became famous when the majority had beaten the E4.

Gen IV: Garchomp , Lucario, Piplup + evos and Chimchar + evos. If you're a girl you'd chose Piplup, if you're a guy you choose Chimchar. And of course all the evos for the past generation pokemon.

Gen V: Tsutaja, everybody likes it, including me, too bad it's evos were a bit dissapointing. Can't actually say much more, because the games aren't out yet.

This is based of my experience with the games along the years.

People had the most variation in their team in gen III, if you ask me, except for the pretty much obligatory Blaziken. Teams in Generation I,II and IV were all rather predictable.

I don't know about these. It seems Blaziken gets just as much hate as love.

As for Lugia, I think it's most common because of how easy it was to get it in XD, compared to how difficult (in comparison) it was to get Ho-oh in Colosseum.

I was basically talking bout Lugia in gold & silver here, almost everybody I know catched and raised it, hardly anybody I know bought XD

And by the time ruby / sapphire came out, There were only 3 people I knew who picked Mudkip, and I knew only one guy who chose Treecko. ( I'm talking bout 50 - 60 people here)

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
Yes, one random kid on a pokemonster forums opinion is now fact, you definitely decide what is fact and what isn't.
And if the reason why you hate them is "becos dey unrginal!!!1!! nintendo(which should be gamefreak btw) r runin oot of ideerzzzzz!!!!111!!!!"
Yeah, well, Desukkan says hi to ditto.

Most over rated Pokemon? Pikachu, without a doubt. I mean really...it beats Rhydon by attacking the horn? Fail. Sandslash too, it's just one epic fail.

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.
K den... i c how it is............ I found that Pokemon to be the highlight of the Sinnoh Region...

Probably Eevee. I like it, but it's so overused by 8 year old girls that decide that they want a whole team of Eevees.....

Anything in the OU tier, pretty much

You, my friend, are a genius. Everybody in this thread (myself included) rants about "overused" pokemon. Often ones in the "OU Tier". But what does OU stand for? Overused.....we're all idiots...

By the way, this thread has nothing to do with the stats of Pokemon. It's about the design.
Oh, so I have to be like you and be unreasonably critical about everything that didn't exist in the first generation that I played regardless of whether they're actually good fighters?

In that case, here's my list in no particular order. ^_^

Lucario takes the cake for me, personally.

All fire starters receive far too much praise! Especially Charizard! He is the most overrated Pokémon that I know. (Which is why I don't really care for fire-type Pokémon)

Pikachu may be overrated, but hey! He's the mascot for crying out loud!

Lucario I will admit is too well loved, but I still like him.

The Black & White starters are great! Once I go to the Isshu region, Mijumaru will be my choice.
Tsutarja is cool (all three of them are), but yeah, he is a little bit overrated.

And legendaries? To me, all of them are. I don't use legendaries because I think they are cheap in gameplay and just trying to look too awesome in design (that's my opinion!).

Ugh, Lucario... definitely. I can't stand that Pokemon either, tbh. I think the whole "Kamehameha" thing is what makes it so overrated... =/ But after Lucario, there's Pikachu. EVERYONE knows Pikachu. Pikachu's like... the Mario of Pokemon. xD

But those are the only Pokemon that I think are overrated. :x

The 5th Gen monkeys (I can't remember their name). They are just ugly and another version of the eeveeloutions in my opinion.
