Gigalith- It's was my first shiny and there is a funny story that goes along with it: I was in my algebra 2 class trying to get through victory road when a blue boldore appears. I lean over to my pokemon mentor (remember it was my first pokemon game. I was clueless) and say"Why is this boldore blue?". He starts flipping out saying "what the crap! Let me see!... No way it's a shiny!" I ask him whats a shiny and he explains how there is like a 1/800,000 chance in encountering one. He then proceeds to go around to everyone of his pokemon friends eachone giving oohs and awws while I'm just sitting there clueless to whats happening. Sorry for the long story, but I just never seen anyone flip out for one pokemon before.
Nice story, but why were you playing Pokémon in Algebra class? Your teacher wasn't aware of your DS being shown to other people?

Gothitelle- It looks too human and just plain wierd.
I actually noticed that it looked like a beautiful woman wearing a dress. What makes this sad is that mine is male. I had to catch a female Gothita later to breed Miracle Eye into a Gothita Egg.

Amoongus- Why does it have the pokeball on its head?
Foongus too. They are meant to look like items in the Route, so they act like fake items. The design was intentional based on the appearance of an item on the Route.

I'm not much of a fan of Gen 5 myself, which I think I've mentioned a few times :P - so I don't have a lot in the favourites department.

That said, my favourite Unova Pokemon has always been Cohagrigus. There's something awesome about it that I can't quite put my finger on. Plus, the name is really fun to say!

My favourites are definitely Scrafty and Eelektross <3 I love the whole design of Scrafty. Eelektross has an awesome movepool and looks really strange xD
Other mentions go to Archeops, Sawsbuck, Volcarona, Zebstrika, Meinshao and Keldeo.
I don't really like the Klink line, it just looks really boring design wise :u Beartic seems like a bit of a waste, it could've looked so much better I think.

I actually hate the constant criticism to 5th gen. It just doesn't make sense to me. Most just kind of seem to judge based of a few Pokemon especially considering that most the Pokemon are actually based off of animals and fantasy creatures while leaving only about 5 based off of objects. Besides, doesn't change the fact that we had Pokemon in 1st gen that was based off a pile of puke, eggs, and what species is voltorb again? Pokeball with eyes? You guys rip on 5th gen for having an icecream cone, well, I'm surprised it took Gamefreak this long to make a Pokemon based off of icecream!!! D:<

Eh, all joking aside. I have too many favorites from Gen 5. Serperior and Excadrill I believe are my personal favorites and my above all favorites. I'm that really strange reptile guy who would probably keep a pet snake if I could and when Seperior made it's appearance, I so had to have it! Moles are just so awesome and I'm so glad they finally got a Mole Pokemon correctly! xD I also like Emoga, all the other starters, Axew, Deerling, Reshiram, the musketeers legendary trio along with Keldeo, Minccinno, and I should probably slow down till I start naming off too many of them. ._.

As far as a least favorite. I think that vote goes towards Basculen or however you spell it. It just kind of feels like it's just kind of there, lazy design, and absolutely no use. Besides, never been a fan of fish Pokemon anyway (Unless it's Milotic.) ._.

Ho-Oh

I love Archeops! First Gen V Pokemon I got to level 100.

And my first starter, of course.

I dislike Watchog and the genies. Watchog because it's really annoying and the genies because they're pretty much copy/paste.
Oh wow, that must've been a challenge! In regards to Archeops, that is. I certainly couldn't get something with that ability to such a high level. tbh that kinda put me off liking Archeops, or using it even competitively because yeah it's a bird but it doesn't really have a great design and has a sucky ability. ;(

The design of a Pokemon's sprite is almost more important to me than how strong they are or what their ability is. If I have a Pokemon that I hate the design of, it kind of ruins the game for me. I have to like the way they look. It took that into consideration when I was picking my first team. All but two of my Pokemon were caught early on in the game, but the next playthrough I do will have a lot of Pokemon from later in the game because now I know which ones I like and where to find them!

Favorites:

Reuniclus - Tough, check. Can 1hit easily, check.
Scrafty - E4 doombringer.

Least Favorites:

Liepard - Crappy stats, just fine at early game then starts to suck later on
Watchog - same as above
Pans and simis - unless you have a lot of evolution stones, these monkeys are not worth the rare stones....

I have my own world XD.

Hm... I would have to say either Braviary, Chandelure, or Tornadus Theiran forme for my favorite Gen V Pokemon. Although I LOVE Sawsbuck, Ferrothorn Pidove (I have no good reason), Gigalith, and Serperior with so many close ones. I really like Gen V, contrary to what I see (many people I see just loathe this gen). There's many more I love, and I kept adding, but I think there's tons of great new designs.

I don't think I really hate much from this gen, to be honest. Alomolomola (sp?) is a pointless and easily forgotten Pokemon. I wish they kept it as the rumored Luvdisc evolution. Damirtan or however you spell it just seems... off to me. Like it's Infernape and Heatran put together. Semipour creeps me out a bit, too. This legendary trio is my least favorite so far, and Klang is unappealing to me. I like Kling, and Kling Klang, just not Klang.

I hate Sunfisk because it's purposely meant to look stupid and it's my only Gen V shiny. I never minded it until one day I was EV training and encountered a shiny one. Like really, out of all the shiny Pokemon I could get, I get the one that is purposely designed to look like an idiot. xD

I have a select few that I like in Gen5, but I curse Mr. Pixel for some of the trashy pokemons. My favorite would have to be either Maractus or Leavanny. I don't know why, but I love that funny Cactus Pokemon, I mean, a dancing cactus that sounds like maracas. I love the idea. And as for Leavanny, it's elegantly kick-ass with its type combo and can learn moves like poison jab despite being a bug-grass combo. And did I mention it's very elegant? It just looks awesome.
Least favorite= the legendaries. they're getting very overrated, but I HATE Audino. I know, it's so freakin' cute, but it can be annoying.
Feed this Pokemon a berry or suffer from guilt. >:3

Favourite would be either Keldeo or Dewott, not sure why, just love their designs.

Least favourite... I loathe Patrat and Watchog (which I only just realised isn't called Watchdog haha!), they're just annoying. They're probably my least favourites.
Still young but no longer impressionable.

Oh lord, there are so many stupid looking Pokemon in the 5th generation, makes me mad for some reason xD
Anyways, I can't remember many from the top of my head, but I don't like the Timberr evolutions, they basically get bigger and carry bigger logs. Reminds me of the Machop evolution but in a bad way. Stunfisk looks pathetic too, it makes Magikarp look awesome(Magikarp IS awesome in my opinion).

My favorite is Litwick. Cutest little candle and it's cute little animation just completes it. Adorable little thing. ♥

As for least favorite ... I'll go with Palpitoad. I actually grew a bit fond of Generation Five's Pokemon. At least quicker than I did with Generation Four's. But Palpitoad design is just ... I would much rather go with Politoed okay thanks.
