Everyone will be shocked to hear this... But I don't mind the Trubbish line. I also always thought that the ice cream-y vanilla guys were kinda cool.

Deep Thoughts...
The people of the Pokémon world aren't too creative. They named Pokémon after what sound they make. If we were like them, a cow would be called a "moo".

I'm Reading...
Just finished a volume of Soul Eater, volume 14. At this point, it has become very different compared to the anime, and I kind of like it. Some of the characters have gotten a lot more fleshed out (specifically the meister team of Ox, Kilik, and Kim), and things are happening quite differently. An exciting read.

I'm Playing...
The iPod music game, Cytus. While I may not know very many of the songs, I really like its music, and the gameplay is easy to pick up yet takes quite a while to master. A friend has seen me play it and he says I make it look easy, but I am still having a fun and challenging time. Definitely worth the price.

I also really like Altaria. While it's not Dragonite or Salamence, it's design is really neat and its Pokédex entries state that it "sings in a beautiful soprano". It can also use Cotton Guard, which I like. I used one in my first White 2 playthrough and enjoyed it. I just feel it gets flack for not being what the pseudo-legends were.

One of my favorite pokemon in Phione, who has been cemented as the absolute worst legendary. But I actually find mine pretty useful in battle, and I like its design much more than Manaphy's design. I see why people say Phione had no reason to exist, and I agree, but I can't stop loving it for what it is.

The only one that springs to mind is Stunky and Skuntank, I don't know if they're hated but I don't feel like they're overly popular, maybe cause they're skunks or something I don't know haha but they're one of my favourite Pokémon in the Sinnoh region; they both just seem really fluffy or something lol and Skuntank was one of my best Pokémon in Diamond :)

I think I'm the only one of my friends whose favorite Eeveelution is Flareon. I completely understand why most don't like them, though. Having it on your team requires a lot of patience due to an abysmal move pool and less than average stats. They're so darn cute though! :] Also, thanks to a Sapphire Nuzlocke I did a while back, I've come to appreciate Hariyama, a rather unpleasant Pokemon aesthetically.

If someone gave me a list of all hated Pokemon then I could probably list more, but it don't really get too pokemon fandom involved, so I don't know which ones are really hated.

But out of the ones I think are hated, I love bidoof and stunfisk, and emolga (idk if he's hated, I just don't think people like the pikachu clones??).
Also I saw klefki in the thread. I wouldn't say I love it, but I think it's kinda cute (same as the vannilite line)

Shedinja -- I used one in the 2006 10th Anniversary Journey Across America tournament, and it saved my life in one battle. If Wonder Guard would give immunity to entry hazards, weather, and status effects (poison and burn especially), it might be at least usable again, but alas that is not the case.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, which pokemon used Cut?

Everyone I know, absolutely hates pikachu!! I love him, lurv him! Even during the anime now at 20 years old, a "pika pika" still makes me laugh or smile and repeat it in a bad impressionist voice.

Ho-Oh isn't one of those legendaries that is universally loved and I get that's because of its rare appearances in the anime. But the moment we first see it in the very first episode, is my all time favourite moment. I think it just shows how majestic a Pokemon can be.

I just recently picked Chikorita in Soulsilver. I love the Pokemon, and dispite it may be difficult when battleing the Gym Leaders, I enjoy my team and think that's what counts. :)

Many popular Pokemon are regarded as a bad choice in a game team. I've used plenty and found awesome movesets for some. Such as Minun, Hoot-Hoot, Pikachu and even a Butterfree and Beautifly. My Ruby team as inspired by May's anime team, so it might of seemed silly having a Beautifly and a Skitty going against the elite 4 but they were actually quite useful :) With them I had a Flygon to even things out. I think any Pokemon can be used in a game-playthough team except maybe Ditto and Shedninja.

I like Chikorita cause it's adorable! While he is a weak starter, on the bright side at least some people are looking for a challenge and have fun using it.

Well, I'm not convinced it's hated, but I hardly ever see anyone who likes Vulpix. It was my favorite Pokemon when I was a child, and I still love it today.
Also, I saw people hate on the Litwick evolutionary line, and I really really like it (like almost all ghost Pokemon). I don't think it's boring for taking the form of an object; quite the opposite, to my mind it's rather entertaining to see an imaginary living creature resemble something else than a kitty/a dog/a mouse/a bird, which is the case with many anime/game mascots.
Also, Magikarp... it's so pathetic that it's actually likable. And then at level 20 it gets a +200 awesomeness boost when it evolves into Gyarados!
Also, some people tend to dislike Gardevoir for its... waifuness... But despite all this, I like its design, movepool, Pokedex entries, and would be honored to be he chosen as its trusted trainer.

^ I have seen people in real life not liking the litwick line at all too, and I really don't get why. I use chandelure and I like it, I'm not going to pass up the chance of using a floating lamp.

Agreed for both. 5th gen had some of the most interesting additions, IMO. That and 3rd are pretty much tops for me.

Others I like that aren't too well-received: Heatran, Zigzagoon, Chikorita/Bayleef/Meganium, and Luvdisc.

I really like Dunsparce, Sunflora, and Smeargle. A lot of people don't like them but I love them not only for nostalgic reasons but also I feel they are useful in battle if raised properly.
Those, too! Although I think Dunsparce gets a certain amount of ironic fandom, kinda like Magikarp.

I actually absolutely adore Trubbish! Everyone seems to cite it for how downhill Pokemon has gone but it's one of my favorites of all time ;u; (and I really adored gen 5 Pokemon overall tbh). It's just really adorable to me overall. And I love Garbodor as well! But Trubbish is my absolute favorite.
