    If you could delete any Pokemon from existence, What would it be? And why?

    Audino. Pretty much a useless Chansey expy. In fact, can we get rid of most of the Gen 5 Pokémon? Most of them were poorly designed, were lame versions of better Pokémon, underpowered, or any of the 3 previously mentioned.
     
    It's hard to pick this cause I know SOMEWHERE, SOMEONE loves those Pokemon that I think shouldn't have been made. But if we're gonna have to get rid of something for good, I think that Pokemon is gonna have to be...Seismitoad. It is a herpes frog. That's all there is to it. Herpes. Warts. Zits. The cast of Battletoads. It's gonna have to not exist.

    -sobs uncontrollably- As long as you don't point your radar at Petilil, then I guess I'll be okay.
     
    Barboach

    That guy is
    1. Ugly
    2. Good for absolutely nothing
    3. Amazingly rabid in D/P/P
     
    Unown. Absolutely worthless pokémon with too much mythos surrounding them.

    I'll give you the other two points because they're more subjective and prone to your opinion, but I genuinely felt that GenV was the very incarnation of power creep in the Pokémon games. The average GenV pokémon has a noticeably higher BST than the average pokémon from previous generations.
     
    Unown - Low stats and learns no moves besides Hidden Power.

    Spinda - Weird design, low stats, and kind of annoying.

    Chingling - So unnecessary. I'd make a Chimecho evolution instead.

    Arceus - Pathetic excuse for a god.

    Patrat line - Weird designs, terrifying eyes, low stats, and ANNOYING! Minccino would've been a far better regional rodent for Unova.

    Pansear and Panpour lines - So disappointing, especially the Pansear line. The Pansage line was enough.

    Trubbish line - A bunch of garbage bags? Really? I'm not saying that Game Freak has run out of ideas, but garbage was not a good idea for Pokemon. That, and Garbodor is annoying.

    Klink and Klang - These guys just bore me.

    Stunfisk - Three words: ugly, boring, overrated.

    Honourable mentions coming soon...
     
    You know what I think? I think NO pokemon should be erased. Every pokemon is special in their own way. I love them all and somewhere in this world the is some people who have a "Pathetic" pokemon as their favorite pokemon. It doesn't matter if the pokemon are Ugly, beautiful, weak, strong, Un-competitive, competitive, Rip offs of other pokemon, Original designs. Its the pokemon themselves that really counts and make a different. You continue this but I'll disagree with every single one. I give great excuses why that pokemon can't be erased in my head every time. I cherish every single pokemon in my heart and no one can take any of them away from me. (Such Dramatics :P)

    Is your name Karen, by any chance?


    Anyway, I don't think that there's any Pokemon I hate and feel that it should n---wait, there is.

    Mr.Mime. No. Just no. I'm fine with real life mimes, but this Pokemon based on them? gtfo
     
    Combee and Vespiquen. The latter is designed ugly, and why did they make a Pokémon with utter crap stats with a far lower male chance than female and only allow evolution if it's female? I mean, why wouldn't they just make them all female, goodness.
     
    It'd probably have to be Koffing line for me.

    Although it's one of the original Kanto Pokémon (if I'm not mistaken), and had played a large role in the franchise as a while (and not just games), I'm still not too fond of it, unfortunately. Koffing and Weezing designs seem to be a little disturbing in my eyes, and when it comes to battling and whatnot, they're not very viable, either. At least competitively.

    Due to similar reasons, I would also remove Garbodor (spelling?) family. Though, good thing is, unlike Koffing, not many people seem to be a fan of it, so if this Pokémon were removed, there likely wouldn't be much complaints heading, if at all. It would have been nice if Garbodor had more bulk so that it would have been a little more utilizable in terms of competitiveness and whatnot, but that doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately.
     
    Many of the legendaries, and their "overpowered" existence. Just because there's a legendary being of mysterious power mentioned in scriptures, doesn't mean it should exist and live up to it's stories.

    I would have accepted that a creature like Mew was merely a simple (though endangered/super rare, considering the large world) pokemon with average stats that roamed the wild like many others. "Legendary" as "rarely-ever-seen, never-been-caught" would also have made sense - the stats/power-level didn't have to justify their status at all. Articuno could even have been just as existent as a Delibird in a different region. It would also have been good enough to see a flock of mischievous, little, power-sapping, "impossible-to-catch" Zapdos flock near a powerplant or merely the likes of Diancie who are somehow just...a "rare mix" in the crowd.

    Buuuut of course we still get gods, creators and whatnot. Soon enough we'll have legendary demons, god-slayers and other myths born to life. I do not like it at all. It is, however, a relief seeing that the anime somehow takes the power of some legendaries less-exaggeratingly. Well, that or they have overpowered non-legends with the blood of Goku and Frieza.
     
    I really wouldn't delete any cause there all created for a reason and someone in the world likes that Pokemon! But if I had to decide I'd choose either Barbados or seismatoad I'd like a different evolution to seismitoads line hes just not very good? Now garbador? A garbage Pokemon? Eww just no.
     
    I would take out...

    -Arceus
    Bad Design. A Pony for God?

    -Unown
    No reason needed.

    -Wobbuffet,
    Why was this even created? Oh, Arceus, What a surprise..

    -Wormadam
    Stupid Thang.
     
    Honourable mentions:

    The Lillipup line - I don't mind Lillipup, but I can't stand its evolutions. I find them gross, and I don't know how their designs could be altered without making them ugly or gross. So being erased from existence is the only thing I can think of for them. But then again, Lillipup could become as useless as the likes of Farfetch'd and Luvdisc, or worse. So it'd maybe have to go, too.

    Emolga - Even though it's my third least favourite Pokemon, I still have an idea to redeem it. First of all, I'd decrease its Speed, to make it less annoying. Second off, I'd alter its Black/White sprite to have its mouth shut.

    Pokemon like Basculin and Luvdisc could be redeemed with an evolution.
     
    Trapinch, Vibrava, and Flygon.

    These Pokemon get my vote for the ugliest Pokemon in existence. Also, they are outclassed by just about every other Dragon type, as even in Gen III you had Dragonite, Kingdra, Salamence, and Rayquaza that were better than it. And now, the only Dragon types that I would even consider to be worse than Flygon would be Druddigon and Noivern, as most Dragon types are legendary, pseudo-legendary, or are capable of mega evolution. Therefore there is really no point for having the Flygon line.
