[Favourite _____ pokemon weekly poll #1] Bug-Type pokemon?

[Regeneration]

What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Why?
Probably Butterfree or Scizor. I always thought that Scizor was pretty cool and Butterfree, well, I fell in love with it because of the Anime. Ash's Butterfree was so cute. <3 Not to forget that Scizor is pretty good when it comes to competitive battling.

What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why?
The Weedle evolutionary line. The really.. bug me. I always considered them to be the Caterpie evolutionary line's evil counterpart. :x

How well do you like the Bug type pokemon?
I'm fine with them, it's not much of a liking or disliking. I love all Bug type moves though; I find them pretty amazing for some reason.

 

[Phototoxin]

Butterfree although I like Vespiquen too

What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Why?
Scyther, in my Gold version, I used a level 100 one to beat the league (along with some other Pokemon)
What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why?
Wurmple, it's so friggen annoying -.-
How well do you like the Bug type pokemon?
Eh, they're okay :P
Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
I like them because they're easy to raise, I don't like them because the majority are weak.

What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Why? This is a toughie because I love so many of them. My favorite is probably a tie between Vespiquen and Volcarona. Vespiquen is a bamf with some awesome exclusive moves and Volcarona is the king of Bug-types (vastly superior to Genesect).
What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why? I don't really have a least favorite but I would probably go with Ledian or Wormadam. They're both pretty mediocre and don't have redeeming qualities like other low level Bug-types.
How well do you like the Bug type pokemon? It's my third favorite type behind Psychic and Grass types. They may be one of the "weaker" types but I always love their designs. Too bad every major trainer in the games has been pretty boring (Burgh is okay).
Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon? Like I mentioned above, I love their designs. Bug-type moves are usually pretty cool and have nice animations.

What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Why?
Forretress has always been my favorite Bug type for some reason. I also like Venonat/Venomoth, Yanmega, Galvantula, and Leavanny.

What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why?
Hmm... I'd have to say probably Masquerain, I never really liked it.

How well do you like the Bug type pokemon?
They're ok, not my favorite type, but a good type that I occasionally use. It's definitely gotten better over the years.

Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
They've got their quirks, some of the random types they resist, and some of the types they're strong against can make then quite useful.

What's your favorite Bug type Pokemon? Why?
Scizor. A badass metal bug with a cool design, nice stats, good abilities, nice moveset, only one weakness and cool cry. He's also a boss in competive battling.
What's your least favorite Bug type Pokemon? Why?
Ehhh.....Masquerain. It's pretty forgettable in everything it does. It's design is just meh too.
How well do you like the Bug type Pokemon?
Well, they're not my favorites, but they're far from being the worst.
Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
I'm starting to like Bug Pokemon more, thanks to 5th Gen adding a bunch of awesome and powerful bugs.

Scizor because it's so awesome lol. Design is fantastic, and it's a wrecking machine in competitive play.
*image removed*
Strictly for its design. It's so cool, and it's got an interesting typing.
*image removed*
Sooo cool looking. How can you not like a ninja-based bug Pokemon? It's very fast as well.
*image removed*
My goodness. This thing demolishes after Quiver Dance. It's so pumped. I also love its flavor text in the games, so epic.
What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why?
I'm not too big on Weedle. It's got such a weak design, don't like it one bit.
How well do you like the Bug type pokemon?
Not huge on them. I hardly ever use them, though with the release of Generation 5 I've found a new love for the ones I've mentioned. Apart from that, I consider the type among my least preferred.
Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
Generally not big on their stats and designs.

 

[Nilz]

Fav bug pokemon is probably Forretress right now, a great physical wall and pretty cool looking IMO.

 

[Giraffe]

Yay, great question!

My favourite Bug type? Volcarona, of course! ^__^;

 

[Esper]

Surskit and Masquerain are probably my favorites for their cute/strange designs. I like the bug types that don't just look like real bugs. That's kind of boring. Masquerain's design in particular is great because it's not normal, but it still works.

I don't really have any least favorites. With bugs in general I like the ones I like and ignore the rest.

 

[JSwagg]

Never have been a fan of Bug Pokemon since back in the old Yellow days, none of them seemed strong enough to accomplish what I expected out of my team. (For reference, I would expect my Bug pokemon to be able to handle 2 full trainers without ever going past half life like my other Pokemon could). However, the new species line in B/W has been put on my top favorite pokemon list. The Venipede evolution line. I just love it. Scyther has a cool look as well, so he is going to be runner-up.

Favorites
Venipede evolution line

Hated
Wurmple...ALL THINGS WURMPLE

 

[danno 507]

Fave bug?? Gotta be scither, he just kicks sooooo much ass its unreal! :P

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Mine is Vespiquen because she looks awesome and has pretty decent stats. Shame her typing leaves so many weaknesses.

My least favorite would have to be the Wurmple line. They don't even look somewhat cool like Butterfree and Beedrill...

I don't use Bug-types that often because I have a hard time fitting them into my in-game teams. I did use a Vespiquen for a Pearl challenge, though, and was pleased with its performance on there.

 

[Fire Walker]

What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Butterfree. Why? Basically, it is beautiful and is, in my opinion, the original bug Pokémon. It has a decent moveset and the overall look is very nice through the generations.
What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Kricketot. Why? I honestly think this is one of the most ugly Pokémon on the face of the planet. It is not cute in any way, it is completely useless, has a flipping coat on for God's sake, and just looks freakishly unlike a cricket.
How well do you like the Bug type pokemon? Out of 10, I would give bug Pokémon a 3.
Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon? I don't like bug Pokémon too much because they are no that helpful during games, and only a handful have good/decent sprites or movesets, and some of their names are just terrible.

 

[Rai]

Omg. This is hard. I love all Bug pokemon. But if I had to choose, I think it would have to be Spinarak.
My current obsession, however, is Whirlipede <3

It would have to be Shidinja. I just plain hate it...

I LOVE BUG POKEMON. It is my favorite type <3

I think it's because I love bugs in real life. They are so unique and misunderstood.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

I'd like to add another Bug to my list - Venomoth!! :D Beautiful design and learns some truly awesome moves :)

 

[vaporeon7]

What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Why?

Beedrill because it looks awesome and was one of the first Pokemon I ever used. It is my 2nd favourite Pokemon.

What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why?

I've never really liked the look of it to be honest. The fact that it's so annoying to get is very annoying to. The fact it can use Destiny Bond did come in handy in one of my challenges though.

How well do you like the Bug type pokemon?
I like the Bug Type Pokemon rather well. It was hard for me to pick a least favourite. A lot of my favourite Pokemon are Bug types. Some of them include: Parasect, Beedrill, Butterfree, Venomoth, etc.

Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
I like Bug Pokemon because they look cool and are easy to train. They can be good in battle as well.

• What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Why?
  
  
  My very first bug pokemon that I caught and trained.
  
  
  I like it because Shuckle have kinda "unbalanced" stat and strategies on using it.
  
  
  The beast of bug Pokemon. No to mention that Volcarona have good design.
• What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why?
  
  
  This pokemon just look so wrong. It just like a lump of soil being given a pair of pincers.
• How well do you like the Bug type pokemon?
  
  I'll try to build every team from Platinum and onward with at least 1 bug type pokemon in it.
• Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
  
  They are better alternatives for me against dark type pokemon, plus, they can take care of Psychic Pokemon too.

 

[Equinoxe]

What's your favourite Bug type pokemon? Why?
There are many! Scizor, Volcarona, Ninjask/Shedinja, Vespiquen and perhaps also Scolipede and Galvantula. It's hard to choose just one over the others.

My reasons for choosing those as my favourites mostly have to do with designs and such (Volcarona and Scolipede are really pretty/cool, Scizor is neatly streamlined, Shedinja is delightfully creepy, Ninjask has nostalgia value, Vespiquen has a fun cry and an imaginative design, Galvantula is seriously cute), although I do respect some of them also for their effectiveness in battles.

What's your least favourite bug type pokemon? Why?
Kricketune. I think it's the mustache that ruins it for me, because even the females have it and it's kinda... tacky. I kind of like its cry though.

How well do you like the Bug type pokemon?
They're pretty cool I guess? It's hard to say because in every type, there are great pokemon and less great ones. In-game they aren't half bad, 5th gen bugs are even better (don't know much about the competitive battling side).

Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
I guess I like them because there are many bug-types with great designs! The fact that I've always been fascinated by insects and arachnids and other critters in real life also has something to do with this, I think.

 

[Arma]

What's your favorite Bug type Pokemon? Why?
Really tough choise, considering I like a whole lt of them, but if I had to choose one it'd be:
Heracross! It looks cool, and they usually seem very friendly. and they're also able to whoop some serious butt.

What's your least favorite Bug type Pokemon? Why?
Volcorona, I know it's strength is amazing, but it's just one of the most ugly pokemon...

How well do you like the Bug type Pokemon?
They're not my favorite, but I like them pretty much.

Why do you, or don't you, like the Bug Pokemon?
Most of them look cool, and have original typing. They can learn a variety of moves too.
