5th Gen Likes and Dislikes of Gen V Pokémon

[La Foudre]

Like the OP, when I first saw them my reaction was to go "wtf?"

But they've grown on me. Especially Vanilluxe. But that's probably because I'm in the mood for ice cream.

I'm glad we all have opinions on the Pokémon, but also remember we already have the Likes and Dislikes of Gen V Pokémon thread for sharing your opinion where it's accepted. ;) Since this thread has much discussion going on about the two Pokémon however, I'll go ahead and merge it with the correct thread.

Personally, I cannot stand the design for Simisear and Simipour -__- They look more like characters from Dora than final forms of elemental apes...

 

[danno 507]

A few of the designs wud be the only problem i have really, some of them are really good, for example zebstika, boldore and the starters but then again some of the arent so great for example vaniluxe...an ice cream pokemon?? thts just silly. oh and trubbish aswel, its like they're running out of original designs :/

Gah I know. Such fail looking pokemon. I remember I was so excited for them, when we first say Pansage, and the others. It caused heaps of speculation and hype everywhere, then when they were revealed.... I was greatly disappointed. idk how anyone can like their designs. I love all the cute baby monkeys though. LOL i should try beat b/w with them unevolved actually....

 

[Red Scizor]

I like most of them, but imo the gear pokémon do not qualify as a Pokémon.

 

[Tristz0t]

I love the cute ones. Such as Cubchoo, he is my favourite and I was so excited on getting one. Solosis was also pretty awesome, along with Blitzle :P

 

[amberrelf]

I actually like a lot of them; way more than the IVGen ones.
The ones based on household objects are kind of annoying.
But that's just me. :P I guess.

Serperior would have to be my favorite.
I kind of died when I saw it for the first time; I'm a huge snake lover.<3 :3

[MegaKuriboh]

I hate Trubbish and Stunfisk
Worst pokemon EVER
However other than that Gen 5 has some of the best mon's I've ever seen like Braivary & Conkeldurr

 

[Hikamaru]

Best Gen V Pokemon: Gothitelle

Worst Gen V Pokemon: Garbodor

Yea <333 same with me! Serperior is the best starter ever, and in my top fav pokemon list. Everything about it is pure sexiness, I see no flaws. Just a perfectly designed pokemon. Maybe if it had a larger move pool? But yeah it's awesome.

 

[Quicksand.]

DISLIKE.

Spoiler:

As for the others, i either like, or feel indifferent about them.

EDIT: l0lz how could i forget about Emboar? XD ew.

 

[PennyLayne]

I feel indifferent or dislike a big chunk of the pokemon this gen. Alot of them are wtf and not in the good way (a garbage bag...for a pokemon...seriously?). Theres very few that I actually was desperate to own in my party which sucks >:

 

[swiftotter]

I HATE that ice cream pokemon. And the munna and its evolved form as they look like a... I loike scrafty, samurott, pidove, chandelure

 

[Logan_AT]

It definitely took me time to adjust. I disliked all the designs initially, but as the B/W tour rolled around and I caught my first glimpses of the anime, I started warming up to the starters. Now that I'm playing the game I still have a lot of '....What the HECK was that popping out of the grass OH GOD I AM NOT CATCHING THAT' moments, but I've had some pleasant surprises too and I'm starting to warm up to some of the Pokemon that I'm training.

Currently I like Liepard (aside from his fragile defense stats and the lack of Technician that makes me prefer Persian over him), Venipede/Whirlipede/Scoilepede, Cottonee, Swoobat and Blitzle. It's hard for me to keep all of them on my team as it seems that most of them (save for Venipede) are speed demons who don't take well to being hit. We'll see what happens.

Pokemon that make me go OMFGDONOTWANT:
Vanillite. How does this exist in the wild?!
Maractus
The roaming cloud legendaries (dunno their names). They just...don't appeal to me at all.

Same here. These are the only designs I really don't like at all. Sure, i'm not a big fan about Emboar, but that's more because of his typing.

Also, tried to go through the game without evolving my Panpour. He did pretty well, but I boxed him once I got to the pokemon league. He got to a fairly good...like, 47 or something. My Pidove made it to 42.

This gen is my favorite, including pokemon-wise. I mean, why do people think Garbador's so bad? Sure, he's a garbage bag, but Muk was just a pile of sludge. He is, after all, a counterpart(or something) to Muk...

Edit: Also at first, for some reason I completely despised Munna. Now I can't live without her <3

 

[The Eagle]

Stunfisk looks like somebody painted a Whiscash tan then sat on it.

 

[Neiko Star]

I really dislike Simisage. Pansage was absolutely adorable! But its evolution...:/ I actually don't have a problem with Vanillish & co. I don't get why people are going like OMGWTFICECREAMEWGAMEFREAKISRUNNINGOUTOFIDEAS. I mean, look at Ditto. Seriously? And people find gear/garbage/ice cream Pokemon uncreative but don't mind Pokeballs/magnets/blobs of slime/eggs?

Also, I recently found out that the white stuff on Vanillish is actually snow and it has an ice body underneath it. I find that pretty cool.

For me it looks like an abandoned ice-cream cone that gained sentience and something that might get eaten in battle rather than taking down dragons. I don't have issue with the garbage Pokemon--they remind me of Grimer and Koffing, actually.

My favourite is Vanilluxe, so cute <3
