Charizard and Pikachu are Pokemon that I think of when someone says 'Gen 1' so does that count? lol ;-; I guess Dragonite and Gyarados and overrated because of their looks and power. lmao. Agreeing with ShinySalamence; Pidgeot is overrate, what?

CHARIZARD. I love Charizard, don't get me wrong, but how many of us that played RBY back in the day heard (or maybe said) "lolz my charizard can beat u cuz its da best pokemon evar" ~_______~ That being said, Pikachu is also overrated. I point to the anime here and almost every piece of Pokemon merchandise. That should explain it. And yeah, Pidgeot? lol That's not overrated. Sure, a lot of people use it, but...it's not like, super fantastic. I wouldn't call it overrated.

overused pokemon count as overated and boy, alakazam and gyarados are overused by most ''power wankers''[someone who only get's strong pokemon]
Wow, in all my years of Pokemon I have never heard that term before. lmao.

I think that Eevee is a bit overrated, not overused, overrated. Difference. I see it plastered on quite a bit of merchandise, Meowth too.

Overused Pokemon do not count as overrated. Certain people can enjoy using the same Pokemon. But it doesn't necessarily mean that it's overrated.

saying overrated and overused is getting me confused. :<

Honestly? Probably Dragonite. Especially when actually playing Gen I games... but the whole Dragon type was held up to be this mythic and super-awesome breed and when you get down to it... I just wasn't impressed. Pretty much any Ice critter can take one down given its double weakness, and I just don't care about it.

As a gen I fan (whose favorite pokemon is Charmander), I sadly have to admit that in terms of battling he is with the overrated. The 4x super effective is a KILLER. I would never use him on a competitive team, but hat doesnt change the fact that he is SOO COOL!

Charizard, Dragonite, and Gengar.

All three are overrated and I make a point of not using them anymore.

I've never heard Pidgeot be called overated lol.
Pidgeot is overrate, what?
And yeah, Pidgeot? lol That's not overrated.
Relative to how (un)favoured Fearow and Dodrio are, it is somewhat overrated.

I didn't think any 1st gen Pokémon were overrated. They were perfectly balanced imo.

Wait a minute, what is this I don't even...

Charizard, Dragonite, Snorlax, Pikachu, Gyarados, and mewtwo are the most overrated gen I pokemon.
