Who, in your opinion, is the most most forgettable and obscure Pokemon?
I… might put something interesting here eventually.

Nah, Chimecho was in the anime, on a major character's team (James) as well.

Qwilfish and Lumineon on the other hand ...

Carnivine sticks out to me the most from the anime.

For the most part I find the anime impossibly repetitive to watch. I've tried, but 50 episodes of team rocket in a row makes me quit.

Binacle is ridiculously forgettable to me, and I don’t remember it having a strong presence..anywhere really.

Also Bruxish is obscure enough to me that it doesn’t even look like a Pokémon years later. It’s very odd. :(

I admit it took me 5 seconds to remember the name lol. But I totally get what you mean, it was also quite forgettable. @[email protected]

I wish Finneon and Lumineon were more memorable too - the concept of a butterfly fish is really cool. But they just never stuck much with me.

if i say that Stantler is the pokemon that comes to mind the most as far as most forgettable pokemon goes, then is it truly forgettable?

I remember when I joked saying I wanted to do a forgetable mon run once and forgot about adding Dewgong to my team... that actually happened, actually, but I don't forget Dewgong exists anymore because of that.

I forget Carnivine quite a lot. It's the only one I can think about looking at the pokémon listed by other ppl.

Well, many people probably remember Stantler when they think about "forgettable" so it's probably not forgettable at all :). Truly forgettable Pokémon would be those that are hard to remember they exist without looking at the Pokédex and seeing them.

- Clamperl, Huntail, and Gorebyss. Brings nothing to the table without evolving. Belongs to a common type.
- Alomomola. Misspells its name as "Alolamola" constantly. Suffers from the same Water-type fatigue as above.
- Stantler. Always thinks of Sawsbuck.
- Mothim. Competes with Venomoth, Dustox, and Masquerain for memory.
- Swadloon (and Sewaddle and Leavanny to a lesser extent). Likes its evolution line, though.

Remembers Cherrim/Cherubi, Bergmite/Avalugg, and Klink/Klang/Klinklang fairly well due to past threads like this. Inked Avalugg further into memory by specifically seeking them out for a Sword Ice monotype. Fared well with Ice Body, Leftovers, Recover, Iron Defense, and Body Press.

I remember every single Pokemon exists, but Basculin is definitely one I'd consider "forgotten". You know what I forget about it? That it's been in every single Pokemon game since it debuted in generation 5. Why, tbh? lmfao it can't possibly be popular enough to warrant it be in every single Pokedex (Not the original sun/moon though it's in us/um but same difference) since it came out.

I've forgotten about Basculin and Chimecho until a conversation pops up about them. I tend to forget Heatmor/Durant, Minior, Stonjourner, Eiscue, etc.

Also waaat is Bruxish totally forgot. I was looking up a list of unveiled mons and I totally didn't know it existed...it's only available in Sun/Moon and its sequels.

For real? Did they put that thing in every gen since its debut? Lol, it must suck really bad to find out that a Pokémon you might like for your team is not available in the game because its spot has probably been taken by Basculin :)

fair point! if you were to ask me to put effort into remembering a pokemon because it's so obscure (in other words, that i'd have to look it up), i'd have to say Volcanion. x.x

Yup, they did. Definitely taking up space in the Pokedex being in every single region that isn't a remake.

Just another generic Pikachu knockoff. I actually did forget it existed for a few years before playing through Gen 6 again.

Basculin tnis, Basculin that... NOW HOW ABOUT FURFROU.
Well, Furfrou has the trait of allowing the trainer to change its appearance at will into different looks by grooming, something pretty unique albeit irrelevant in battles. And it also had a unique Ability (still has, if we don't count Alolan Persian)

Basculin seems like a discount Sharpedo, probably created just because the first Unova Dex only featured new species and they needed to include a fish since fishing is one of the game mechanics. It does have the blue-striped/red-striped trait but that's very meh since we've seen other Pokémon having two or more possible forms and handling the concept in more interesting ways before it.

I always forget about Mothim. Burmy and Wormadam looks like they belong together, but Mothim is just out of place for them.

I also forgot Indeedee exists, before checking up the Pokédex just now. It feels like Audino knock-off.

Meanwhile I love Mothim and even used one at some point. It’s really cute. Wormadam though... a bit forgettable. D:
