Zubat !
I really do not understand why people do not like it ..
i mean i love all the pokemon from the first gen..alot of peopel Became interested into pokemon because of the first season, and zubat was the first pokemon brock caught at Mt. Moon I thought it was a great episode and zubat was pertty cool..
also zubat have 2 great evolutions - golbat and crobat.
whats not to like about a flying bat that can poison you? lol
and in the TCG during the heart gold soul silver you had a really strong crobat prime deck
and also in Team Plasma you have a pretty good crobat from team plasma deck so you just have to use zubat in thoes decks and i really like the zubat cards in thoes decks..
i thing its cool that you have competitive decks with pokemon from the 1 gen in till this day.
anyway..dont hate zubat its a pretty cute and cool pokemon

Like the hundreds of people above me, I absolutely LOVE the Zubat line.

Every single Pokemon game I own has a Zubat that has been trained to a Crobat (Either by catching it, or trading an Egg.) In atleast of game per Generation, I have used a Zubat in my main team (Golbat in Gen I.) I think the only reason why people hate Zubat itself is that it is so common, thus making people believe that Zubat's evolution line is terrible. However, not all common Pokemon are weak, such as Tentacruel or Gyarados.

Speaking of Gyarados, I see alot of hate for it with some of my friends, despite it having a great reputation in Competitive. . Like Zubat, I have used a Gyarados atleast once per Generation. I think it is one of the best Physical Water types, along with Kingler and Crawdaunt.

Stunfisk, primarily because its cry makes me chuckle, its face makes me laugh, its typing always seemed cool to me, (only ground electric type woop woop) and its stats are deceptively usable, which has led me to getting some unsuspected victories online in X/Y.


Also Tentacool, whom everyone hates for being the zubat of the seas. Yeah, it's obnoxiously uncommon - but hey, have you looked at Tentacruel's competitive viability???? Water Poison is a pretty good typing, Clear Body and Rain Dish are great abilities, and it's got flippin 515 base stat total. It may appear every six strokes in open water, but it turns into something pretty sweet. (Plus it gets cool moves.)

i know a lot of people who hate miltank, but you'll find her to be much less annoying if you use her on your team than when you have to face off against her at whitney's gym.
tentacruel is also a great pokemon imo. it has incredible special defense and it's great in battle.

Jirachi and Bulbasaur. When I began my first Pokemon journey, it was Bulbasaur (who I had nicknamed Benny) that had been my closest partner from beginning to end. I mean, it's such an underrated species, you know? Also, I really admire the concept of Jirachi. The essential reason it isn't as loved as other legendaries is because of its lower statistics, which are reasonable, just not as high as the other Pokemon's.

Aromatisse. Now I know she may not be the most overlooked or hated Pokemon, but everywhere I go I see the phrase "wasted potential" in reference to her. Everyone expected Aromatisse to be this dark, tall, badass witch doctor with stellar defenses and a nightmarish bag of fairy dust that lulls its opponent into a deep and everlasting slumber. But nope! Instead Aromatisse turned out to be something even better, in my opinion. And it's like, why you gotta be so disappointed with such a sassy, beautiful, purple Pokemon? She's got more personality and design in her than a fair amount of other Pokemon out there, that's for sure. Though.. I suppose that's not necessarily a common school of thought.

That's actually really good reasoning for liking a pokemon, there are some sort've uninspired designs amongst the 718 poke's. Aromatisse certainly does have a visible attitude about it too. :P I sympathize with your feelings on this.

All these folks mentioning Zubat, awww yeah. I thought Golbat was pretty epic until Crobat rolled around. I just really love Crobat, agh.

Tentacruel is another one, too.

I'm not gonna lie, I do like Stunfisk, tho. I got one in a wonder trade early in my Pkmn X run and lemme say, that thing was a beast.

I don't know if I'd consider Hitmontop hated since I never hear anything about it; I'd definitely group him into the criminally underrated category of Pokemon. He is a bit strange but the spin top mixed with a martial arts style pokemon is definitely unique and the design turned out to be clever as well. I just wish he wasn't so tricky to obtain.
