Zubat - Honestly, Zubats are cool. I've used them since HG/SS cause I realized how cool Crobat is.

Chikorita - Underrated starter and Pokemon in general. Does really bad on the start of the games (considering the first and second gyms are type disadvantages). But really its not that really bad. Meganium is a pretty good Pokemon.

Vanillite - May look stupid for you guys. But it actually looks appetizing for me. I've used Vanilluxe on my B/W games, and it isn't terrible at all.

Garbodor - To be honest, I kinda like Garbodor. Used it once on an Elite Four rematch battle in B2. During Iris' battle, all of my Pokemon except Garbodor fainted. Her last Pokemon was a Haxorus and it has like yellow HP left. I'm aware that Haxorus has Earthquake, and so he did attack with it, and Garbodor took it with yellow health. I used Toxic on it so that it will be hurt little by little. And in the next turn, a miracle happened, I went first and took it out with a Body Slam. And then I won. So basically Garbodor is my friggin savior!
May the odds be ever in your Buizel!

Mr. Mime: people say that he looks too creepy, but he's a clown so he should look a little creepy. Also, did I mention he's a clown? Clowns rock!

Mawile: loved it years before it got a mega evolution.

Smeargle: I love that he can learn every move in the game. I must have about three different competitively-bred Smeargles by now and each of them has a completely different set of moves. I don't see why anyone would hate this thing.

Garbodor: For me, Garbodor is ugly, but in an amazing way. Like, it looks so hideous you can't help but find it cute.

The generic, early game normal types, specifically Senret and Zigzagoon. I recently did an emerald randomized nuzlocke and one of the first ones I caught was a Furret (Which I name Fluffeh) And she survived through the entire playthrough, all the way to the champion and Zigzagoon, daaaang I love that little raccoon. I love Linoones sleek, slender design and made a really great addition to my team on Ruby, plus, headbutt at level 9? Train up a Zigzagoon/Linoone in attack and you have one hard hitting pokemon.

Also, Latias. I don't see Latias get enough attention :/ From what I've seen, everyone wants Latios. I just love Latias. Latias was another early catch in my Emerald randomized Nuzlocke (I named her Scarlet) who was another strong member.

Strictly from a gaming standpoint, I love Emboar and Diggersby. Emboar just rocks in the 5th. generation story as a powerful fire/fighting type. I am currently using him in my "Gym Champions" challenge and he has done well against every other Pokemon. I like his design and love his moveset despite his redundancy in typing.

I also like diggersby in Pokemon X and Y as well! I don't like the way he looks, however I like his moveset. He is a very underrated pokemon in my opinion. his ability of Huge Power is what separates him from the pack, and he kicked tail in story mode as well as holds his own ground in competitive battling.

On a standpoint of the anime and the games, my favorite that people hate on would be muk. I love the big, poison lug! He's one of my favorites from Kanto which Ash caught and he impressed me during the Pokemon League battles. Further more, he's a beast in the game once you get grimer evolved.

I honestly don't think anyone likes Unown, and I completely understand why. They've got stats that are worse than even baby Pokemon like Mantyke, they've got a smaller moveset than Magikarp, yet I love them just the same. The 3rd Pokemon movie partially cemented them as one of my favorites, but I've always just liked the fact that there are so many of them to collect, and getting all 28 actually feels like an accomplishment. That, and the original Ruins of Alph theme from G/S/C is still one of my background themes of all time (despite it being just 8 notes).

lol Jynx has been one of my favorites for a long time, but it's strongly hated by a lot of people because of how it looks. Sometimes I find it weird I even like it so much because of how much I base my favorites on design.

Also Hypno another big favorite of mine suffers the same fate as Jynx.

Flareon being my favorite eeveelution is another Pokemon that no one else seems to like much. I completely understand though because I've had my own frustrations with it. It has a sucky movepool and not a decent attack stab move until recently.

Zubat/Tentacool I get it, they're very annoying. As Pokemon though their final evos have been very useful to me and I don't get too annoyed anymore as I always have a ton of repels hehe.

Lopunny, *hears the gasps of many people*...is probably my favorite Normal-type behind the almighty Dunsparce. I really don't like how we have to lump female looking Pokemon into the "waifu" category and think anyone who likes any human-like Pokemon besides Gallade or Lucario, is sexually attracted to it. While I do know what its based off of, I don't think its sexually attractive. (Nor do I have a problem with people being sexually attracted to Pokemon.) I personally think it is a good Pokemon to use and super adorable. Plus, it's fluffy, I love fluffy Pokemon.

Ah, heatmor, the ninth child of a family of eight, it seems. I've always loved the thing, despite its weakness, but no one else ever will.

Hitmonlee and marowak are two oft forgotten gen 1 pokemon, both of which are strong and useful, but only used by me, it seems.

Lastly is the lowly rhyperior, the poor thing, two 4X weaknesses and nowhere near the SpD or Spe it needs to take them out. You will remain forever in my PC, but know that I wish for the day when you become useful.

My second-favourite Pokémon is Probopass and... literally everyone hates it. :( I know maybe 5 people total who don't despise it. (And we all adore it so there doesn't seem to be any in-between.)

I also really, really like Vanillite and a lot of people hate its line for being unoriginal. I don't understand that argument at all but okay, whatever. Less competition for its merch, should I decide to take up Pokémon collecting again. >_>

Octillery and Cryogonal!

Octillery is generally a forgotten pokémon. Never see it, never hear of it. But it's amazing and its beam attacks are just cool.

Cryogonal seemed like slave drones for Kyurem in the movie, but I think it's a very cool (hehe) pokémon on its own and it's definitely one of my favorites. I haven't even used one in-game, I just find its design and moveset great. I used one in a RP once and it was a darn powerhouse with those ice chains.

Funny thing about that is I used to never care for Probopass at all until I used it in my Rock monotype run on Platinum. And it was great. I really doubt I could've beaten that challenge without Probes. It's still not something I love, but I do have some respect for it (and dat 'stache).

When I talk to people about Pokémon, one of the first Pokémon they say they dislike is Spinda! And I just don't know why. It's so cute and confused, and it stumbles around in a somewhat drunken daze in the most adorable way. And it certainly helps that it was adorable in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

That was another normal type I really like, Lopunny.

Despite my hours of levelling a Buneary (she finally evolved at level 45), It was worth the wait. My Lopunny was pretty useful in platinum. Her Bounce demolished Aaron and she managed to take down some of Flints team.

I don't believe that I'm particularly fond of any Pokemon that the majority despises, but I appreciate many Pokemon that most people don't seem to rave about.

Furfrou
Furfrou comes to mind. I've noticed people seem to hate it's apparently "gimmicky" concept, or completely love it for it's customization option. I love its ability, and am quite fond of it's design.

Meowstic
Meowstic's pre-evolution, Espurr, has captivated many with it's dead "fish eyes" in conjunction with its cute kitten-like appearance. Meowstic is less appreciated and I quite like the designs, particularly the female one.

Cinccino
Here is a truly underrated Pokemon. Last generation, Cinccino was pushed into Smogon's RU and seemingly forgotten. Despite it's harmless appearance, I find it quite useful with it's Skill Link ability!

Probopass is certainly not a commonly loved Pokemon. I think you've found your indifference party here, though. I have little opinion on it, I'm definitely not fond of its design though. Do you like the design, or what is it that you find appealing?

To be quite honest, Lopunny is the only one of those "waifu" pokémon whose appeal I never really understood. Gardevoir has a flowing dress and implied breasts in its original R/S sprite, so I can see how people find it sexually appealing, but Lopunny has always appeared to me as nothing more than a stylized rabbit with no implicit sexual characteristics at all.

The one pokemon that other people seem to hate so much is Diggersby. I don't care if he looks like a drunk bunny, I love him for him. He's so much better than Lopunny which I've never liked. Plus there's dat Huge Power.

I admit I hate Klefki but not for that design but because I always get owned by that thing in battles and it just seems to not want to be used by me.

Wobbuffet. I've yet to see someone "like" this Pokemon, despite being "useless".
Oh, I think there's a lot of people who like Wobbuffet actually! For instance, there's a moderator on PC (for pokémon anime I think) who is named Wobbu and is a prompt follower of the wooooobbu-cult. So you're not alone :3

A lot of my friends hate that Shuckle is my favorite Pokemon. He's a complete troll, forgotten my most everyone until he shows up and refuses to die. Power Split is my move of choice on him, making his crummy attack stats suddenly become another major defensive boon. People would sometimes quit battles with me online once Shuckle came out, leading me to believe that the hate is rather widespread

Their dual typing may be bad and they may be outclassed by many other Bugs and Grass Pokemon, but I still love this line anyway. (Plus, Sewaddle's adorable as heck ;-;)


My favorite Pika clone; I love its design and it's somewhat useful in-game. I just wish it had access to a Special Fairy move and not just Play Rough ;;


Similar to Sewaddle line, they get a lot of hate for having a relatively bad dual typing (even more so than the Aron line, as Aggron at least has a monstrous Defense, fantastic Attack, and Mega Evo.; dunno about Probopass though) due to 4x Fighting and Ground weaknesses, but I love them anyway~
