    I love my Ferrothorn. With Iron Barbs and Rocky Helmet + high defense, when people attack it physically they're hurt pretty badly. In addition, Power Whip is a nice STAB move, and his low speed really helps Gyro Ball out. I love it. 83

  • I like my Ferrothorn too! It can turn into a monster once I'm done using 2 Curses on it and then used Gyro ball to finish off the opponents, I actually used it's pre evo to beat Iris (Who I kept losing to until I did so)...

  • Going with the Ferrothorn discussion, I think it's a lot better designed than Forretress was because it has 3 spiky whips. It's also bulkier than Forretress, IMO.

    Yeah it so is. I can just imagine right now it spinning real fast with it's spiky arms XD Plus it just looks so vicious and cool unlike the timid looking Forretress.

    Those blocks are the best part of them! ...yeah I find their random timber blocks adorable, I don't know why, but the fact that they're random makes them awesome. XD Same would apply to Pokemon like Farfetch'd, where do their sticks come from lol.

  • i dislike most of them tbh...

    though i really love Chandelure. but then, i love all ghost types<3
    Cottonee's evolution and Mienshao are cute too. and i want a meloetta event asap!

    Koballion irritates me. and Tornadus slash Thunderus. basically all the legendaries except Viriion actually.

    I really like the design of Galvantula =) No idea why, but since the beginning that's been my favorite pokémon in the 5th generation.

    I dislike the fact that Alomomola, Bouffalant only looks like evolutions to Luvdisk and Tauros. I was hoping for more evolutions, maybe more of the Eevee evolutions and for some pokemon that's just unusable.

    the whole point of Black and White was that the new Pokémon had NO link to the old ones, so it felt like a new experience again :)

    Some of the Unova Pokemon share relations with the older ones:
    -Snivy, Tepig Oshawott = Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh starters (starter Pokemon)
    -Patrat line = Rattata, Sentret, Zigzagoon and Bidoof lines (regional rodents)
    -Pidove line = Pidgey, Hoothoot, Taillow and Starly lines (regional birds)
    -Roggenrola line = Geodude line (common Rock Pokemon that reach their final forms by trading)
    -Woobat line = Zubat line (regional bats that reach final forms through happiness)
    -Drilbur line = Diglett line (moles)
    -Audino = Chansey (seen with Nurse Joy in the anime, have massive HP and reward a lot of EXP when defeated)
    -Purrloin line = Meowth, Skitty and Glameow lines (cats)
    -Munna line = Drowzee line (tapir-like Psychic Pokemon that are associated with sleep)
    -Timburr line = Machop line (Fighting Pokemon that reach their final forms by trading)
    -Tympole line = Poliwag line (tadpoles/frogs)
    -Throh/Sawk = Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan (Fighting Pokemon that appear to be related to each other)
    -Sewaddle/Venipede lines = Caterpie/Weedle/Wurmple lines (Bug Pokemon that appear early in the game and in forests)
    -Maractus = Cacnea line (cacti)
    -Scraggy line = Croagunk line (similar appearances, part Fighting type)
    -Tirtouga/Archen lines = Omanyte, Kabuto, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos and Shieldon lines (fossils)
    -Trubbish line = Grimer, Koffing and Gulpin lines (2-stage Poison evolutionary line)
    -Zorua line = Riolu line (evolved forms debuted in movies prior to their generation, even though Zorua was introduced along with Zoroark, and Riolu was not introduced with Lucario)
    -Gothita line = Ralts line (reason to be confirmed at some point)
    -Solosis line = Abra line (3-stage Psychic evolutionary line)
    -Ducklett line = Psyduck and Wingull lines (2-stage Water bird evolutionary line)
    -Emolga = Pichu line, Plusle, Minun and Pachirisu (Electric rodent)
    -Foongus line = Paras and Shroomish lines; they are mushrooms. Also the Voltorb line because it resembles a Poke Ball
    -Frillish line = Tentacool line (jellyfish)
    -Joltik line = Spinarak line (spiders)
    -Ferroseed line = Pineco line (stationary Pokemon with high Defense, but low Speed)
    -Klink line = Magmemite line (3-stage Steel evolutionary line)
    -Litwick line = Gastly and Duskull lines (3-stage Ghost evolutionary line)
    -Axew line = Trapinch line (final forms commonly mistaken for pseudo-legends)
    -Cubchoo line = Teddiursa line (bears)
    -Stunfisk = Dunsparce (derp-ish Pokemon)
    -Mienfoo line = Mankey line (mammalian 2-stage Fighting evolutionary line)
    -Heatmor/Durant = Zangoose/Seviper (rivals)
    -Deino line = Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, Beldum and Gible lines (pseudo-legends)
    -Legendary musketeers and legendary Kamis = Legendary birds, legendary beasts, Regis, lake trio (legendary trios)
    -Reshiram/Zekrom = Lugia/Ho-oh, Kyogre/Groudon, Dialga/Palkia (version mascots)
    -Meloetta = Shaymin (legendaries with 2 forms)
    -Genesect = Mewtwo (Pokemon created through genetics)

  • My fave Generation V Pokemon design-wise is Gothitelle.

    I'm going to get one in Black for sure!

    My least fave, definitely Garbodor. It looks trashy (it is trash, literally).

  • I actually love Garbodor's design. I don't know why; it's just really awesome to me for some reason.

    I still haven't warmed up to Garbador. It is so damn ugly, idk it looks like a thrown out washing machine Rotom. Its mouth ruins is, Muk is a million times more pretty ;x Poor Garbador, unloved.I feel so, so, so sorry for any pokemon, especially Ditto, who has to breed with it XD

    Spoiler:


    Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I suppose.
    What you may think is ugly is actually quite awesome and majestic in the eyes of other people.
