Oh boy oh boy

Spoiler:
>I think that people who complain about newer generations/Pokemon/features are close-minded morons who hide behind flimsy opinions because their love for the good ol' days clouds their judgement to the point where any change at all is bad to them. Nobody is entitled to an ignorant opinion like "Fairy type is stupid because it's called Fairy type" or "New things suck because they're new". These opinions are not a basis for any kind of discussion and should not be brought up as points during an argument if the person saying these things wishes to be taken seriously.

>I hate the competitive community. I hate Smogon elitists who believe that they win a battle by default because the opponent was not using a Smogon standard set. I hate Online and Showdown elitists who believe that actual wifi battling is stupid because it's slower than a simulator. I hate that people complain about things being overpowered because they weren't prepared for them and refuse to alter their teams to be effective against them.

>I hate when people complain about the Pokemon series following very obvious patterns like always having Fire/Water/Grass starters and how each game has a legendary trio and an early-game Normal type.

>I think that Dragon types are insanely overpowered and that Fairy type was a great addition, although it'll be useless unless there are decent Fairy type sweepers.

>I just generally hate the opinions of Pokemon fans, to be honest. This thread is slowly killing me.

I rarely pick the fire type starter, haven't done it since gen 2!

Didn't really like most of gen 5's music, kind of uninspired to me, lacking emotional touch I'd say.

I didn't really like the plot of gen 5. Most people thought it was good, but imo, it was still kind of cheesy. I never grew attached to any of the characters, thought there was wasted potential there. A lot of people praise N as a great character but I don't really get it...

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate gen 5, its plot and music are the only aspects of it that I was disappointed with actually.

1. I like all the gens.
2. I like the water in Hoenn.
3. I like the snow in Sinnoh.
4. I don't mind Fire/Fighting starters.
I like you. I don't know you but I like you. I love Fire/Fighting, especially Blaziken. And Hoenn is my favourite region just because of the ocean routes. They were so fun!!!

Another one of my opinions
Early Gen starters kinda sucked except Charizard and Blastoise all the Gen I and II starters were kinda lame.
Sometimes I make music.

Yeah I don't like animes in general, I watched DBZ when I was 5 years old, Yu-Gi-Oh! for a bit when I was around 12 but that's it.
I do wish Poison Pokés were better as I like Weezing and Muk. Also there is one thing that has been driving me crazy for ages (especially when I was a kid). The whole "trade to make it evolve".
Why, why, WHY did I keep training Graveler, Haunter, Kadabra just to discover I couldn't keep them on my team later on?
A 10-year-old kid should get prior warning about evolution trading IMO.
{D:} Do my eyes deceive me? There is another!!! Yeah, I agree with you: I hate anime in general. My tastes are more western.

My other unpopular opinion is that they should release a darker more mature Pokemon game with westernish badarse redesigns for the pokemon, and release it for consoles. I also think that they should give more depth to the stories and the combat system. Pokemon as a brand has been so stagnant these last couple years.
I believe in Jesus Christ. If you do too, and aren't scared to admit it, then put this in your signature.

The first thing that came into my mind -- "What?" I've never heard anyone dislike Samurott's appearance, let alone the number of legs he has.
Back when the final evolutions for the starters were released, I've witnessed many fans complaining in forums how they disliked that Oshawott and Dewott's evolution was drastic, such as becoming a quadruped. Even though I like Samurott on its own, I'll admit that I'm one who holds this "popular" view.


* I feckin' hate Lucario, it's overdesigned.
* I dislike all the Pokemon movies except the 3rd. The one with Rayquaza was okay though, if I recall correctly.
* Shroomish isn't cute, it's ugly >:U

And that's about it xD
Pokemon the 3rd movie was actually my favorite. :) This reminds me of an unpopular view I could express...

*Whenever a movie comes out, a lot of pokemon fans who don't even watch the anime suddenly go to watch the movie. I was the opposite, since D/P anime, in which I'd watch the anime, but wouldn't care so much about watching the movies.

- I really don't care for the legendaries at all... I always try to catch them, but I don't see the fun in playing with them.

- I'm really excited about the new Fairy-type; I think it's the perfect type to be super effective against dragon-type!

- I'm quite shallow in-game, I'll only use Pokémon that I think look "good".

- I always make sure my Pokémon are the same level, and I train them 5 levels at a time. (Right now my whole team is level 55)

I don't like the fact there is a huge focus on the after game. I would prefer a more in-depth story that made sense.

Event Pokémon are boring a lame - they should just be integrated into the game.

All legendary pokemon should have some sort of quest and/or story to go with their capture. If they are just sitting in caves then why doesn't half the population own one.

Agree with this so hard! I think even the roaming legendaries like Latios/Latias and the trio of Johto should have more story.

• The love for Iris
• The love for Cilan
• The love for Skyla
• The hate for "lack of uniqueness" for Generation V.
• Dream World

Those are the ones that come to mind based on my own opinion.

I hate that Fairy types are strong against Dragon.
Add that to my list, please.

Here are mine.

1. The GTS is a waste of time.
2. Azurill is NOT cute. It sucks. (Most baby Pokemon are cute, but I hate this one. And WTF is with the crybaby face in the official artwork? Who wants to have a crybaby Pokemon?)
3. I hate the excessive event-only legendaries.
4. Silver (the character) is so overrated.
5. Gen I actually has the least interesting characters. Out of all the Gym Leaders, I only liked Erika and Sabrina. Considering both were screwed over in adaptations (with Anime!Erika being a ***** and Manga!Sabrina being a villain), that isn't good. Though I do like Red.
6. Pokemon Special is even worse than the anime. I find the earlier volumes to be too dark and sardonic. It got better after Gen II, but starting Gen V it got bad again. The B2W2 chapter was awful. I mean, it is very implausible for Nate (or Rakutsu - WTF?) to be part of the International Police (and to rank higher than Looker? Alert the Mary Sue Police!). Not to mention they made a lot of Gym Leaders and Elite Four members bad guys.
7. Blue was VERY easy in HGSS.
8. The anime really went downhill in BW. Iris is a mega-annoying little turd. Cilan is even MORE annoying. And Ash is regressing in intelligence? God help us all.
Generally I like or dislike Pokemon or types that everyone feels the opposite way towards.

I mean grass types are my favorite and Bellsprout is my favorite Pokemon and I don't think I've found anyone who agrees with both lol.

- To point out a few things I don't like or look forward to legendaries.
- I really can't stand some common favorites like Garchomp, Lucario, Zoroark, etc.
- I don't understand why people like Silver so much... just another boring character.
- Team Rocket was really the only team that made any sense.
- GSC/HG/SS are okay, but the lack of direction once you reach Ecruteak city makes it really boring afterwards.

aaand idk how much people agree or disagree on this because I don't really pay attention, but I thought Sinnoh and Unova were horrible. A lot of times I don't even count any Pokemon past Hoenn when picking Pokemon for a team.

  • Gen 5 is really bad, but I like the other generations. I hated the direction the entire gen was going and I felt it pandered to the younger demographic due to it's melodramatic plots and tutorial overdose. The region was boring, N is annoying and the pokémon introduced were abysmal.
  • Palkia is my favourite pokémon.
  • Most of the spinoff titles are solid enough, a few being great games (mystery dungeon 2, ranger 2 and 3, puzzle league).
  • Gen 3 has the best roster of pokémon of any generation.
  • Mewtwo ISN'T overrated, infact he is a badass son of a *****.
  • Event Pokémon are stupid and only lower the experience for people who have issues obtaining them.
  • Charizard is ****.
  • Nidoqueen > Nidoking
  • I would hate a pokémon MMO.
  • Lucario is a mediocre pokémon overglorifed by furries.
  • Black Kuyrem and White Kuyrem are some of the worst designed things ever.
  • G/S/C and HG/SS had awful postgames, but nowhere near as bad as B/W/B2/W2 joke of a postgame.
  • Gen 5 pokémon suck because of their execution and overdesigning, conceptually they were acceptable.
