Most people don't seem to care for Eiscue but it is cute! Especially the shiny!!

Lack of appreciation for Bastiodon in the Pokemon fandom makes me a little bit sad. It's a dinosaur tank. What's not to like? People are far too concerned with aesthetics and usability these days, and whilst Rampardos is definitely more useable, it isn't even half as cool as Bastiodon.

I also really like Spinarak, it was the original creepy spider that came out only at night and evolved into a bigger, angrier red spider - it was just another great part of the night life in GSC at the time (along with Hoothoot, of course) that gave the games a more lifelike feel to them. I love how it can change the face on its abdomen as well, that's a really neat little detail. The shiny is also one of the nicer ones from Gen II and I'd love to get one someday.

I guess with Bastiodon, it's the 52 attack stat. It's less of a concern with usability, and more so "If I use this, will every battle drag on"? Personally I don't mind using walls in game, so I'll probably try it out someday.

Also it's weird Bastiodon has 60 for it's base HP. They gave it incredible defenses, but that sort of negates the entire purpose. I'm not saying it has to have absurd HP, but 60 is the same amount as Spinda.

This sort of thing never bothered me in Pokemon games honestly, as my levels are usually so much higher than my opponent's that I can OHKO them irrespective of what I use. From a competitive standpoint I more than understand, but given the low difficulty of Pokemon games, the luxury of using your favourites is viable regardless of how strong or weak they might be~

Yeah, that's one way to look at the difficulty. Pretty much anything is viable. :D Though I admit, my fully unevolved run with some favorites (like Fennekin) was very hard even by the second gym, so that would've required a lot of grinding aha.
