Question of the Day

In your opinion, what's the rarest/most difficult to obtain Pokemon?

Freakin' Meloetta; I've only ever had one I haven't had to cheat for, which I lost along with everything else when my X died. It's stupidly hard to get a hold of one ._.
 
In your opinion, what's the rarest/most difficult to obtain Pokemon?

Ignoring legendaries/mythicals (because honestly depending on your region, your attentiveness, etc. any could potentially be the "rarest"), I'd have agree with DraconianWing. The original Feebas was a nightmare to obtain. Not even talking about a Feebas with all the properties you want either.
 
In your opinion, what's the rarest/most difficult to obtain Pokémon?
I'd say Skarmory would be one. It might not be that difficult to encounter, but if you're out of luck, capturing could be quite a challenge. At one point, it took me around 30 Ultra Balls to catch a Skarmory, which is definitely a lot.
 
If we don't count even Pokes, I definitely agree on Feebas in RSE. I don't think I ever would have found it when I was a kid had it not been for a strategy guide. I wonder if there's a fish in real life that changes location depending on what phrase is currently trendy? Probably not.

It always catches me off guard how difficult Skarmory is to catch. You never really expect an ordinary wild Pokemon to take more than a few Pokeballs, so Skarmory is such an interesting exception haha

Feebas from Generations 3 and 4. Nightmarish indeed. Oh yeah, make that one a shiny.
 
In your opinion, what's the rarest/most difficult to obtain Pokémon?

Like what the others mainly said, R/S/E Feebas. It was so difficult to find where the water tiles containing it was, and the fact the trendy phase changed it made it just so confusing. Thankfully, OR/AS made getting Feebas so much easier now.
 
I have no clue how will I ever find all the event pokemons, considering I only played the games for a few months and thus missed a majority of them.

As for just the average in the wild, Skarmony seems to be very annoying to catch. Also, for some unknown reasons, I could never find a Staryu in AS...

Mismagius, Gengar, Sableye, Rotom, Chandelure, Hoopa

I've used Gengar, Sableye, Rotom, and Chandelure in the past, so they are winners to me. I've always wanted to use Mismagius and Hoopa seems like he's going to be awesome. I think this will be a spoooooooky team! :D

Gastly, Misdreavus, Duskull, Rotom, Spiritomb, and Giratina. I've often wanted to do this, actually. xD

Mismagius is pretty cool! I've used one in a Y playthrough and an HG playthrough a while back. Gets a pretty nice type coverage as far as attacks go (Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, etc.), and it's all pretty effective along with Nasty Plot.

My team would be: Froslass, Misdreavus, Trevanant, Aegislash, Golurk, and Shedinja, because wynaut :P

I'd leave Misdreavus unevolved, because it's such an adorable Pokemon :3

I love Ghost-types, though the winning 6 was pretty clear for me, haha. Chandelure, Gengar, Mismagius, Cofagrigus, Rotom, and Aegislash.
I feel like that team would be balanced enough to get me through the game.
 
I never even used a ghost type, though I am considering if I should let a Gastly join the team of the game I am currently playing. Well, better now than never.

The six I would use are Aegislash, Chandelure, Froslass, Gengar, some form of Rotom, and Sableye, just because they are the ones I would like to try out. Also, half of these I have almost considered using in one game or another... Almost.
 
If you had to go through an entire game with only a team of Ghost-type Pokemon, which ones would you choose?

Sableye, Aegislash, Banette, Gengar, Golurk and Giratina-Origin. They all have a diverse variety of typing and different specialties to go with it! I've used them all in the past, so how they deal with certain opponents and take certain attacks are fairly familiar with me.

I love this!
Froslass would be my main of course, Misdreavus (unevolved), Gourgeist, Shedinja, Rotom and Doublade! They are the best and cutest ghosts.

Our choices are so much alike! Doublade is a really good choice that I would actually like to have on rotation for my ghost team (maybe swap it in if Shedinja doesn't work out haha). Also glad to know I'm not the only one who finds Misdreavus adorable :)

Also, since that PGM is ending, I'll make sure to update all your points in the OP tomorrow! Be sure to check out the main thread to see your total points for the event! Thanks for taking part and always showing up to weigh in on our questions ^_^

The first set of Gen 5 games, the original Black and White. They were revealed during the time when Game Freak was stepping it up with 3D graphics, so even very early gameplay footage looked amazing compared to Gen 4. Sprites were fully animated and looked much, much more like their anime counterparts, so it was a very big leap in that aspect too.
