Each and every Pokémon in-game have their own, special cry, which is one thing that helps when it comes to distinguishing one from rest. So, of all Pokémon cries, which are you most fond of, and why? Is there any cry in particular you dislike, and if so, why do you not like it? Would you consider changing it, somehow? If you do decide to switch, how would you rather imagine it to sound?

Me--I'm pretty fond of Kricketune's cry. It's loud, lengthy, and very intriguing all around. Not sure if there's anything else that could possibly compare, really. Alongside, I'm also a fan of Togekiss'. Its sound seems very suitable for the Pokémon, if you ask me; Togekiss is cute, hug-able, and so forth, and its cry complements it nicely.

As for which cry I dislike, that would likely have to be Feebas; it's a little too short and soft. Due to similar reason, I also dislike Magikarp's.

Scolipede. Scolipede. Did I say Scolipede? Yeah, Scolipede.

It's so bizarre, it's awesome.

I also like a lot of the classic 8-bit cries, such as Arcanine, Lapras, Dragonite, Steelix, and Tyranitar.

This, is the best thread ever. Just wait for people saying DEELEELEELEELEELEELEE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!! xD

My Favorite Cry of a Pokemon is Kricketune cause' just listen to dat cry! DEELEELEELEELEELEELEE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!! I also like Gardevoir's Cry which is just a soft, elegant and Graceful Cry.

My Least Favorite has to be that Screaming Bird, Talonflame. STOP IT. ITS IRRITATING!

I like a lot of cries, but one of my favorites would have to be Kricketot's, just because it sounds beautiful.

As for a cry I dislike, only one comes to mind, being Electabuzz's. It's just an irritating screech, which I hate to hear.

Spearow's cry is the only one I can think off at the moment, it's one of the few I can recognize, and it's kinda musical.

However.Hands down. Best. Cry. Ever:

I LOVE Gastrodon's cry. It's by far the best cry by any Pokemon, ever. Everytime I hear it I can't help but smirk. Lumineon, Mismagius, Giratina, Espeon, Kyogre, Togekiss, and Flygon have nice sounding cries too however.

As for cries I don't like... I could easily label pretty much all of the remastered cries in X and Y cries I don't like, as they either sound nothing like they used to or just sound muddier than they used to. But as for specific cries... What's with Raichu sounding like Electabuzz when it used to sound like Pikachu? And Dialga just sounds odd.

I think my favourite cry would be Vaporeon's, it's so beautiful :) I also like Chatot's, Caterpie's, Spearow's and for being distinctive I like Paras', Abra's and Mareep's :)


The ones I'm not too keen on would be Nidoking and Gastly's, I find them a wee bit too shrill is all :)

Jynx, Mewtwo, Lugia and Registeel off the top of my head sound pretty cool.

I kind of dislike Persian's "NYAAAAAHHAAH" cry in X/Y. Before that, it sounded royal and cool, but now it just sounds like someone accidentally stepped on its tail.

Why has no one mentioned Froslass' cry? The nerve, you guys.... :p

Back to the topic at hand, the only cry that actually stuck to me was Froslass. It has a great musical cry, really rivaling Kricketot's cry as well as tying in really well with the whole half ghost, half kimono girl theme. Have a listen:

Milotic, the Tender Pokemon

It has the power to becalm such emotions as hostility and anger to quell bitter feuding."

I'd kind of forgotten about Froslass, but its cry is very nice! It sucks that it's not much of a common Pokémon, though, whether it be in-game or competitive, which could be a major reason as to why some of us aren't precisely familiar with its sound and whatnot.

Also, does Drifloon actually have alternating cries? I had never known about that, haha. That's pretty cool! If this is indeed the case, I believe it would be wise if they had done something similar with other Pokémon as well. In real life, not every single group of animal make the same, exact sound; for some, it's low-pitched, and for others, it's high. If they were to carry this formula into games, I feel it'd help adding more realism.

I loved Sharpedo's pre-XY cry. Fortunately, Manectrc sounds about as nice as ever even post-XY. I really like the low-pitched, succinct and aggressive-sounding cries in general, especially those from the 8-bit era; they just sound so sharp and intimidating. Jolteon/Venomoth is another old favourite.

The cries I dislike come from the likes of Froslass and Sylveon. Although, incidentally, I love both these monsters, the high-pitched whining is quite annoying to hear. Particularly long cries like that of Jynx are quite unbearable too; about the only long cry I like much would be that of Steelix.
