Yeah, lol. I think that she had some issues.

Anyways, to get back on topic, I personally like Swampert for battling. Electric attacks won't effect it, and it learns several powerful ground-type moves.

But for my favorite? That's hard to choose! I like Gyarados a lot, even it it isn't very... cute. It would still be fun to have one, though. Same with Kyogre! And of course, I like all of the cute ones. Squirtle, Mudkip, Seel, Dewgong, etc.

ah i just remembered chinouchou and lanturn, they turn elelctrcity in to hp, now thts a gd move

freinds ur all cool!

kingdra's pretty tight because his only weakness (unless i'm overlooking something) is dragon. he's not too strong and doesn't learn too many attacks, but i love him just the way he is... (a wrinkled up seadra)
and wow... i've never seen anybody that brutal on PC... over on rangerboard that sort of thing happens all the time (no control *sigh*)

Whoa, I've seen people talk trash, but could you please not use them since you are a moderator? I mean, aren't you supposed to uphold order in the forums?

Anyways, here's my opinion on some Water types:

Kyogre: Besides being a legendary, it really doesn't have any weakpoints. (herego, the cheapness factor)

Swampert: Probably one of the slowest Pokmon I know. Fair Defense and Sp. Defense, but its Attack and Sp. Attack aren't so impressive. Also takes quadrupal damage from Grass type moves.

Gyarados: Again, not too fast. Pretty hefty Attack and Sp. Attack, but stinks in Defense. Gets fried, literally, by Electric attacks (again, quadruple damage)

Blastoise: Good Defense and Sp. Defense, not so good in everything else. Only learns Normal and Water type moves natrually. Once FR/LG comes out, it'll learn the strongest Water move in the Pokmon series thus far.

Starmie: My personal favorite Pokmon. It's among the fastest of Pokmon, except Electric types. Also has a decent Sp. Attack, therefore I stuck it with four different types of moves: Water, Psychic, Electric, and Ice. Basically has a move that'll effect all Pokmon, if not Super Effective. Unfortunately, It doesn't have a good HP rating as well as a good defense. But with moves like those, it's hard to lose. (except those cursed Milotics...)

Kingdra: Average in everything, but doesn't excel in anything. Very good speed, but that's about it.

Lanturn: Pretty decent Pokmon since it can power up both Water and Electric type moves and can absorb Electric moves for HP if it has the right ability. Other than having an impressive max HP, it's other stats are way below average compared to others.

Wailord: I don't like this Pokmon. It only has a high HP count. That's it.
In the morning when you wake up, Open your eyes to a new day.
Look around at the gifts you've got. You've been so lucky along the way.
Time to finish what you've begun. Have the faith, you're the one.
Throw your hat high - up to the sun.

Now you face your greatest test. Use the lessons that you've learned.
Your goal is to be the best, And claim the prize that you've earned.
Ever since you were a young man, You've kept your eye on the master plan.
To reach for the top - and touch the sky.

It's your destiny,
To spread your wings and fly.

Actually, if you had read any of her posts, you would notice that she was saying far worse things than me. It was not like I was cursing her out or anything, and I wasn't really in the mood to just tell her to, 'Pleeeeease stop! Please!' Sometimes, when you're dealing with people like that, you have to get pretty rude. She deserved everything that was said to her, along with that ban.

Out of the starters Kamex is probably my favorite, but Numaclaw is also great. The part-Ground element is nice in blocking Electric attacks (though it makes it very vulnerable to Grass).
Out of any Pokemon, Kyogre is best. But non-legendary, there are several good ones like Lapras and Miloclos, for example. But I like Lanturn and Dewgong, as you can see by my sig. Lanturn's Volt Absorb is very handy in eliminating the weakness to Electric attacks.

That PokePal3000 girl was really weird.The only thing I did to her was to tell

Squirtle is my favortie water type! I love the originals! It's literally cool, and tough, yet adorable. My favorite out of R/S is ...what's the crab's name? I forgot, but the one Ash has.

You, err, really need to read up on your stats mate. Gyarados has a terrible Special Attack, average Defence and high Special Defence. Swampert is also far (read: FAR) from the slowest Pokemon around. Or even slow enough to make it into the top 10 snail racers. It also has a high Attack stat. It's far from low.

Kingdra also doesn't excel in Speed. It's his worst stat.

Out of the ones you have said there, Swamepert happens to be a very useful pokemon, For its Water/ground abilities.
But for me!. ( personally after raising a heared of pokemon )
Would Have to say :
.:Kyogre:.
These powerful beasts are extremmly useful! They have most useful attacks . Like Hydro pump, and sheer cold!. It is a powerful spcl atk ( But alot of people have already said about him )

Though, I find the Vaporeon pokemon to be a powerful beast! Mine being lvl 100 ( on crystal )
Extremmly useful to battle with, and can help alot to!

Golduck's are most useful to! With there Psychic attacks! But, if I were to say..what Is the best...It would probably Be Vaporeon!

the least best , I would say Gyarados! These things are a pain, And horrible to raise..I mean, are they even pokemon?! I find them to be a waste of time, only good for begginers ( i hate them lol ) I was battling a lvl 40 ( I was making note, it was in the wild...so It was weaker ) Against My little Pichu (lvl15 ), And it was one thunderbolt that took it down!..Iim sure there uselfuul to some people..but plainley, not to me!

Uh, it can use all of the water HM's.

Sorry. I haven't played Pokmon Stadium 2 recently...

OK, to argue with Swampert. I now remember that it's speed is decent, but definately not fast enough to stop any of the other Pokmon that can cream it, especially Sceptile. Didn't remember Kindra's stats, other than it outran my Pokmon .(well, at least Igglybuff and Pichu...)

And are you sure that Gyrados has a high Sp. Defence? I remember Earl's Pokmon Academy in Pokmon Stadium 2, where you have to use the Pokmon with the right items. A level 50 Pikachu with Light Ball against a level 80 Gyrados. It lost in one turn against Thunderbolt. A Gyrados that high of a level should at least survive one attack.

Swampert's Speed is still bad. He's just not the slowest.

And yeah, Gyarados has a base stat 100 in Sp Def, which is just into the "high" territory. Pikachu's Light Ball doubles its Sp Atk, and what with Gyarados' 4x weakness to electricity, of course it's going to KO him in one hit.
