Kanto/Johto ugly things (actually, only Kanto):



- Feebas/Milotic: Yeah, I know most of you will probably get mad at me, "omg why did you put milo, she's so pretty!" or "feebas is supposed to be ugly". I'm gonna tell you that Milotic is one of my all-time favourite Pokemon and the most beautiful one all-around imo. However, I decided to include both of them because there are many people who actually find her ugly. If this line wins, I'm only going to advance Feebas.

You can only vote for 1 pokemon now.

I forgot how ugly and unnecessary Rhyperior was until just now, but it only gets my runner-up selection. My actual vote went to Probopass, who I've always considered one of the ugliest Pokemon overall. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is that irks me about Probopass, but I just can't stand looking at it for any longer than I have to, haha.

I can't believe I'm the only one that voted for Rhyperior. . . I want people here to consider just where Rhyperior came from: it went Rhyhorn -> Rhydon and everything was crisp, clean, golden and tasty; but along comes a turd coated in orange corn to ruin everyone's day. All the other 'late evolutions' are somewhat bearable, but Rhyperior is an unforgivable blight that will tarnish the reputation of one of the powerhouses of the original games.

Also, I believe this thread should have been split into two thread: Gen 3 and Gen 4, as there simply isn't enough people (as of now) to have a clear winner based on so few opinions. Also, Rhyperior's Superior pre-evolutions are not depicted alonside the others; why does Probopass have Nosepass right there in the voting pole? In order to see how utterly ludicrous and sinful Rhyperior is, people need to see it side by side:



Look at it! Look how ugly it is! It's so ugly that people downright refuse to evolve Rhydon just to get Rhyperior, who has better stats; and what if later down the line they want to Mega-Evolve Rhyperior? What are they going to call the item? Rhyperionite? Say that and toss that around in your mind. Can you hear how stupid that sounds? Rhyperior is the ugliest, dumbest, stupidest, lamest Pokemon I have ever had the displeasure of knowing existed. Never will I use it, and never will I 'just keep it in my box'. I hate it so much that I released it as soon as I nabbed it for the Pokedex.

Fun activity: find yourself a cool looking rock from outside, then put peanut butter and chunks of orange peel on it. You can ask yourself "what the hell am I doing?", a question GameFreak never asked itself when it drew up the plans to Rhyperior.

Hoenn: Swampert, Shroomish, Slaking, Exploud, Grumpig

Sinnoh: Gible, Lickilicky, Rhyperior

Warsmith and I have a strong hatred for Rhyperior in common I see <3. I always thought Rhyperior ruined all that was pure and true of Rhyhorn/Rhydon. Idk how gamefreak could literally psyduck a first generation Pokemon like that. Like how many people did that design go through before it got the final okay? Did no one find anything even slightly off? Like idk.. maybe that COLOR SCHEME FOR STARTERS.

Oh yes. Exactly this. I sat here thinking "heh Dustox and Purugly, hmmm which one should I choose" and then I saw Probopass.

That thing gives me nightmares. An afro 'stache. Really? I don't like it ;) Probopass easily gets my vote.


I really like Rhyperior actually! Mighty unnecessary pokémon, like many evos in 4th gen, but still really cool in design compared to many others. Like Probopass.

I would like to know why you think it's a cool design, because unlike Rhyhorn and Rhydon, Nosepass was already at the bottom of the barrel in terms of 'coolness' while Rhyhorn and Rhydon enjoyed several positions on ones team. Nosepass wasn't all that good to begin with (30HP as a base stat and weak against the most common of types), so I see the need for Probopass or at least an update on such a 'weak' Pokemon.

Rhydon on the other hand needed no boost to it's attack (130 base) and it's whopping defense and hit points gave it a spot as a great attacker already, and on top of that it can surf. Rhyperior takes all that was good and holy about Rhydon and smears feces all over it just for kicks.

Nosepass was already ugly to begin with. What I'm trying to say here is that Probopass isn't ugly, but it isn't nearly as ugly as Rhyperior, if that makes sense. Probopass gave Nosepass much needed boosts to it's lacking and horrid stats, but Rhyperior is a form of ugly that took pure beauty and decided to ruin it just because.

There was no reason for Rhyperior to exist, there is no reason it was even an idea. Probopass exists because Nosepass was sorely lacking so it serves a purpose, albeit an ugly one. Rhyperior exists solely to Rhyperior, and nothing more. Rhyperior's ugliness grows deep into the roots of many a fan's hopes and dreams. I believe that Probopass doesn't bother nearly as many people as Rhyperior does, simply because I don't see many people using Nosepass to begin with to even complain about Probopass. Probopass is only ugly on the outside. Rhyperior is ugly both inside and out.

I don't mean to pick on people, but I think when it comes to ugly, people should consider more than just the looks. Consider the fans and the feeling of betrayal we see. Probopass just is. People see it, and of course, it's ugly. But no one cares that it's ugly, see? We care that Rhyperior is ugly.

I hope this changes at least someone's mind.

True, you can consider ugly in many ways, perhaps. However, I don't play competitively (I hardly play the games at all) so I just judge on typing, idea and looks. And I don't dislike Rhyperior's looks while I really have a problen with Probopass's face and think its mini-nosepasses are weird. :)
