Personal opinion - worst pokemon ever?

    Pokemon Fact : Vanillite, Vanillish, and Vanilluxe were the first Pokemon to be created by a western designer, James Turner, some dude from amrica..Suitable for an American to think about ice cream when it tries to create a new Pokemon lol


    Well, for one, James Turner is actually British. If that was some attempt at snobbery towards Americans, it looks like it might have backfired on you.

    And, secondly, how exactly is an ice cream cone any less ridiculous than some of the other ideas we've gotten out of Pokémon? Hell, Rotom is a Pokémon that turns into a washing machine, microwave, refrigerator, lawn mower, and room fan.

  • Dunsparce. And frankly, it is merely because I'm biased and personal and harbor very real hatred toward it.

    They might have not known he was british, and don't assume they were making fun of Americans we don't want any stupid arguments here.

    I never liked Zigzagoon. It always popped up in Ruby and i was so annoyed by it. Zigzagoon & Linoone are boring designs as well.

    Delibird... just, Delibird.

    Most of the gimmick pokemon who aren't useful in battle have some appeal. Not this bird.

  • I'd have to agree with some of you about Unown. I mean, I love them design wise. I really wish they were better in battle though, and could learn more attacks. It's a shame really :/

    I'm personally not such a huge fan of Swalot. Its design doesn't look that great to me, unfortunately, and it's not very good competitively, either. Aside from that, I also dislike Slugma, sort of.

    I think no pokemon is bad but still........

    Dunsparce is pretty boring, it's move set is boring.. Also, I have an issue with it. I mean
    it lives under ground or in caves, burrows hole : I mean it's so like a ground pokemon
    but still it's NORMAL type!!!! I mean WTF!!!!!

    I also think Ditto is pretty useless in battle. I tried to raise it in main games but it's seriously hard to battle with it........It's just good for breeding!!

    This is quite an obvious and popular answer, I assume, to the question 'worst Pokémon'.

    Personal opinion - worst pokemon ever?

    Magikarp is an extremely pointless Pokémon with no meaning whatsoever. It is impossible to train it regularly until it reaches Level 15 and even when that has happened, it is still weak. I personally think that there should be no pre-evolution of Gyarados or Magikarp receives some attacking moves at earlier levels or Splash is given a meaning.

    Though it may amaze you, I raised magikarp once while I was playing Leafgreen. I raised it to 60 lvl. Though it was very hard to raise, but I did it and am proud of it. Yes, it is pretty useless but
    I must tell you that it is not the weakest pokemon, about 7 pokemon are weaker to it in stats.
    Now that it can also learn Bounce! But the fact is fact: It's pretty hard to raise and it ain't much helpful!!!

    While i still stand by my answer as luvdisc being the worst pokemon of all time i am going to give a honorable mention to Regigigas,while it may be a legendary that doesn't excuse it. It's ability of slow start means for the first 5 turns it's attack and speed are cut in half(it's base attack stat is 160 meaning it's just 80 for the first 5 turns, and it's base speed is 100 meaning it's just 50 for the first 5 turns) It's base stat of 670 is shared with two other legendarys in Kyogre and Groundon and also one other legendary Slaking....none of this have the slow start ability meaning the other 3 are much better choices.

  • I'm really against any Pokemon that's become a meme, examples like Mudkip, Magikarp and Seaking. It just brings unneeded attraction to me, and the jokes are overused beyond belief to me.

  • My top choice for "worst" pokemon is shuckle.

    I don't know. I find it a terrible waste. It doesn't evolve. Its speed is junk (and all other attacking stats too, to be precise). Yes it has extremely high defences but I find it a terrible waste for such a Pokemon.

    Honestly, I don't find any Pokemon to be bad. Magikarp may be useless but it evolves into a beast. Even though Shuckle has a terrible stat distribution I can see it being useful in wireless battles.

  • All Pokemon are pretty interesting, but I hate Rhyperior. I've bashed it several times in other threads, just not a fan of it. Rhydon is awesome, and I use it every time I play a game that came before the introduction of Rhyperior. After fourth generation, I never touched the line again. :[

    Dunsparce? Farfetch'd? I never really figured out the point of these two considering they aren't in any evolutionary chain. Their designs are mediocre, but I wonder if Game Freak was serious when they introduced them.

    Though I don't think Farfetch'd is a bad pokemon as it can learn many moves, but it
    looks awefully ridiculous....I mean Game Freak brought Donald Duck into pokemon using
    Farfetch'd!! :D

    This like x 1000

    While I do like Mudkip, most pokemon who make their way through 4chan come out of it as totally overused, unnecessary, and unfunny. And it completely sours my view on them. Other than that, I don't particularly care for Pokemon based on monkeys or pigs. So like Chimchar, Aipom, Tegpig.. I'm just not a big fan. :<

    all gen 5 pokémon

    I think that Unown are stupid; they only learn one useless move and their gimmick is annoying.

    In my opinion one of the worst Pokemon has to be the Gen 6 Pokemon Klefki. In a world of cool animals that can fly, breath fire/water we get...keys!? I mean not even it;s pokedex entry can save it: 'These key collectors threaten any attackers by fiercely jingling their keys at them.' or 'It never lets go of a key that it likes, so people give it the keys to vaults and safes as a way to prevent crime.' On no! It's going to steal one of your keys!

    Another one that I think should be mentioned is the Gen. 2 Pokemon Sunkern. First it's ugly. Not to mention that it has the lowest stats in the game. Again, it's pokedex entry reads 'It is very weak. Its only means of defense is to shake its leaves desperately at its attacker.' So, again in a world full of monsters that can breath fire/water, fly/swim at great speeds and have great strength. This Pokemon...shakes it's leaves at you? It's evolved form can't save it either. Sunflora is equally bad. I mean it's pokedex entry reads 'It converts sunlight into energy. In the darkness after sunset, it closes its petals and becomes still.' So it can do stuff normal plants can do!? CONGRATS!

    Klefki, Sunkern and Sunflora...making boring things boring pokemon.

    (Sorry for the HUGE picture...)

    As much as I love the Gen 6 mons, Scatterbug is all kinds of wrong to me. I can't get myself to like this Pokemon at all. I do like his evolutions, but this guy is just...so ugly. He has to be the ugliest bug to date. And what makes it worse is that huge buck tooth. He's a bug, not a rodent! It's hard for me to understand how something as beautiful as Vivillon evolves from this hideous excuse for a larvae. -_-
