    What pokemon do you think is the most under-appreciated? Not the most underrated but the one whom nobody notices anymore.

    I would have to go with Poliwag. Honestly, when was the last time you have seen one of those critters?
     
    I liked Poliwag, maybe because back in gen 2 I had a shiny one but thats beside the point lol. I'm gonna have to say miltank though, if it could only learn Bulk up I would run one on my team
     
    The most forgotten pokemon is easily Metapod. It's so forgettable it isn't even funny :( It's so cool to...METAPOD USE HARDEN! GOOD JOB METAPOD!
     
    Well, I'm not sure who would be the most under appreciated pokemon, but I know who would feel the least appreciated. -If that makes sense...-

    Raikou. How would you feel if your two siblings both got movies and you didn't?
     
    Mmm, I don't Remenber the last time the I see a Tangela. Really I don't now If I want to see one... XD
     
    Wailord. It's quite strong actually.
     
    Wailord. It's quite strong actually.

    I hear you there I tried taking on the 7th gym in emrald 10+ times each time getting swept with the odd time Xatu or Claydoll being knocked out bun inly about 8% of the time, I went fishing and hooked a 42 wailmer, caught it, had a spare rare candy, evolved it. After that I proceded to sweep Tate and Liza with minimum casualties
     
    I hate Spinda it seems to make me sick
     
    I would have to say that tentacool is, theres just so many, and its not really the nicest of the bunch. Plus its a water type that is also poison so ground is super effective against it, how lame is that.... its either tentacool or dunsparce. Dunsparce has like no good moves, and they haven't even evolved it, if they make another game I think they should evolve it into a dragon.
     
    I would also have to go with Tentacool. Its pretty annoying, I'll have to admit, when you find so many at sea. Most trainers ignore Tentacool, what they don't realize is that it can actually have potential when it evolves into Tentacruel.
     
    I think Dunsparce would have been better if it had an evolution or at least a decent move.
     
    The Pokémon no one ever remembers? I'd have to say Mothim. It's useless in battle, not easily obtained and its design (although I must admit it's quite cute. :3) is too similar to Butterfree's and Beautifly's for it to truly stand out and as sad as it is, both of the Pokémon I just mentioned also happen to outclass Mothim in terms of battling. That, and I've never seen anyone mention the Pokémon.
    Wailord. It's quite strong actually.
    The only thing there is to fear from Wailord is a Choice Scarfed Water Spout; it's base stats are simply horrible and the movepool is less than impressive. A cool Pokémon, but not really that strong. =\
    Dunsparce has like no good moves, and they haven't even evolved it, if they make another game I think they should evolve it into a dragon.
    No good moves, you say? Allow me to list all the notable moves Dunsparce has access to and can effectively use: Body Slam, Rock Slide, Headbutt, (see the comments after this for a clarification) Counter, Roost, Charge Beam, (although it's a bit of a gimmick move for 'Sparce) Magic Coat, Yawn, Screech, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Calm Mind and Thief (a bit of a gimmick as well, but can be a nasty surprise for some walls). Now, Dunsparce's stats may not seem that impressive, but 100 base HP is enough to let it survive hits even from some of the stronger sweepers in the game and Dunsparce's ability, Serene Grace, doubles the odds of getting an added effect from moves, which boosts Body Slam's and Thunder's paralysis rate and Headbutt's and Rock Slide's flinch rate up to 60% which makes a paraflinching Dunsparce a force to be reckoned with, especially considering that few things that aren't unboosted STAB Fighting type moves can OHKO a properly EVed Dunsparce. I've stopped several 2x Attack boosted Gyaradoses and Garchomps with my Dunsparce in Shoddy and both times, it saved the game for me.
     
    Actually, be honest, when was the last time you've seen a Vulpix or Exeggcute?
    Alright, Ledian? Unown, Sunflora, Qwilfish?

    Seriously, there are way too many obscure Pokemon. I guess some Pokemon
    actually don't have any potential at all, but that has to change if new
    Pokemon keep getting added onto the series. They might as well not exist,
    after all.

    I haven't seen a Weepinbell/Victreebel in a loong while lol.

    I always liked em :(
     
    Actually, I'm pretty sure that Tentacruel is OU. I know a lot of people that use them.

    I'd say Spinda. Honestly, did anyone actually catch one for a purpose besides filling their dex? -_-
