Most overrated pokemon that I never understood the appeal of:

Lucario: FIRST AND FOREMOST. I never liked it, but lots of people did and do (and will) but I don't get why. I remember when I asked someone and he said "dude, Lucario is the Sonic of Pokemon" and I was like "WHAT NO". I think that its design fails miserably. ;D

Latios/Latias: Worst legendaries ever if you ask me. People think they're cute, and I agree on that, but nothing more.

Eevee-eevolutions: What is this I don't even dare to ask. I always thought the whole fact to be weird, despite the fact that eevee's evolution line is the most interesting in the history of pokemon.


Other than that, rodents.

If Eevee is a cat than thats the only cat group i dont hate.

I've always thought Eevee looked more like a fox or something along those lines. The fennec fox, to be exact.

I honestly have to say Lucario. That thing's become so overrated, it's painful. I can't go on ANY Pokemon forum without seeing someone with Lucario in their name, avatar, or signature. Hell, that thing's more overrated than Pikachu, imo. >.>

Noooo! I love Lucario! Anwayse I do think it would be Pikatchu (not that he is not adorable) but I don't see why everyone goes overboard.

I think a lot of the pokemon from gen 4 are just overloved for a reason I fail to see
Pachirisu -- I don't recall everyone freaking out that much about Plusle and Minun? I can understand each region having it's own "pikachu", but what's so special about that one? =\

And this:

Oh and Arceus is another one. Since, I've never seen one of those either, and hackers just like to rub it in your face that they have an Arceus (or sometimes a box full of shiny Arceus ._.)

Darkrai and Dusknoir, for me.
Ahhhh! I like Darkrai and Dusknoir. D=

The pokemon I NEVER understood the appeal of is;
  • The Legendary Trio Dogs
  • Shaymin
  • Pikachu
  • Lickitung
  • That Ice Cream looking pokemon
  • And, that "Seed bby"everyone likes.

Tyranitar. I really cannot see the appeal of it besides its okay batteling skills. I dislike its appearance in every game, and its anime appearance. Plus I hate the fact that its part gound but still has its "rock-type traits" to carry along with it.

I just never been fond of it, but Larvitar is just adorable :3

I think Pikachu clones are overrated. They're making a new clone each gen and it's getting annoying.
People say Magikarp is bad but it's AWESOME! Well, I'm not crazy for it but I don't hate it.
I also think most Legendaries are overrated and people just AR some legendary and make it shiny and then brag to the whole world about it. That's getting old. Lucario included.

Gen V

Reshiram. It just looks wrong as is a terrible mish-mash of 40+ Gen I-IV pokemon.

From reading this thread as well as various other places, I think Magikarp is a bit overrated, because people have singled it out for the irony. Everyone knows it's famously useless and it's terribly funny that it can evolve into such a ferocious sea monster, but Magikarp is awful. Leave the poor fish alone to splash in peace.

Lucario.

It's so popular, obviously from the movie it was in before Gen 4 came out, but I just don't get it. Why Lucario? It's mediocre imo, it's not the kind of Pokémon I like to train, and I just don't understand the massive appeal. Clearly I'm not the only one here but still, it's so, so popular and I just don't get it. XD

Also Shaymin Sky form. :| I think it's kind of ugly, especially compared to land form, and I don't understand why so many people utterly adored it. I was just annoyed that there was so much less normal Shaymin merch because of it. I love normal Shaymin. ;_;

I never understood the appeal of:

- Any Sinnoh Legendary (especially Regigigas and Arceus)
- Tepig and Snivy evo lines
- Spiritomb
- Umbreon
- Togekiss

I can understand why Lucario is so overrated. Come on people, just look at him. He's a totally BA Jackal. It has a very beautiful design, and is very powerful. Just because it's overrated, doesn't give you a reason to hate it although that's the main reason i hate Umbreon

I'd go with Evee because of all of it's (evelutions) some of them you have to go next to, let's say a moss rock to evolve Evee into Leafeon. And if you want Icyeon you have to go next to that rock near snow point city in Pokemon Platinum. And sometimes you only have to use stones like fire stones, but Evee has to be a certain level for the stone to work.

Pikachu is just bleaghhhhh.

And I don't understand how nobody likes Magikarp.

._.
<3 Magikarp :D
Diamond: "The MAGIKARP is flopping about weakly" so sad ;-;


Eugh well I hate the new legendaries really. I don't see a challenge in going to the league with a team full of legendaries. I don't mind the Gen 1 and 2 legendaries but I'm not keen on Rayquazza, Groundon, Kyogre, Uxie, Mespirit etc. etc.

The only "mouse" Pokémon I really mind is Pikachu because Raichu is just awesome in my opinion :3
