What's a Finneon? o_o

Pinsir has hardly any spotlight and is actually very strong for battling.
It's like a slightly weaker alternative to Heracross and looking at it's ability Mold Breaker it can do more against Rhyperior with Close Combat, and lets you hit Weezing, Bronzong, Gengar and Rotom with Earthquake which their abilities prevent.
 
Pinsir doesn't get STAB on Close Combat though; Heracross will still do more to Rhyperior.

Quote of the century!
hehe..

I actually really love Spinda.I want to train one for the lulz >.<

One of the pokemon I forgot about was Tyrogue.I remember encountering it in Emerald and I was so confused on what it was.I had NO IDEA it could evolve into one of the 'Hitmon' PKMN.
 
I was about to beat up the topic creator because Finneon are adorable. Mawile, Delcatty, Masquerain, and Corsola are lovely as well. <33

I couldn't remember any obscure pokemon, so I took a quiz to name all of the Sinnoh pokemon (the one I know least about). Apparently, I forgot Carnivine, Stunky family, Mime Jr, Rhyperior, Porygon Z, Dusknoir, and Rotom. :<

Set-up Bait: With its common defensive sets, Shuckle remains to be complete set up bait. All it can do is manage to set up rocks, inflict status, and knock off an item. What does it do after that? Nothing. Hello steel Pokemon! Shuckle just screams Set up on me! I can't do anything to you. It can't do any sufficient damage to a Pokemon with those offensive stats. What Shuckle's opponent can do is prepare status boosts, inflict status, set up entry hazards, and so many more things that Shuckle can't even hope to stop or counter. You'd think that there is a reason that this Pokemon was slammed into UU instead of Uber.

How could you forget Encore, newb xD, but yeah for the most part you were right.


I ALWAYS forget Phione and stuff like Magcargo even exist.

To the point where both of you spell its name wrong? xD

Farfetch'd definitely needs some love, as do Stantler, Shuckle and Spinda. :<

Haha.. spelling its name wrong just proves my point. xD
Stantler is quite the forgettable one!

Actually, I think majority of forgettable Pokemon are from 2nd gen sadly. =(
Sentret, Furret, Ledyba, Ledian, Spinarak, Ariados, Natu, Xatu, Sunkern, Sunflora, Girafarig, Snubbull, Granbull, Corsola, Remoraid, Octillery.. The list goes on.

Those pointless baby Pokemon aren't easy to remember either.
Cleffa, Igglybuff, Wynaut, etc.
 
I think that good ol' Diglett should get recognised again. after all, where would people who chose Squirtle be without Diglett in LG/FR?
 
Meh, I could probably name every Pokemon. XD

Umm, I guess a few of the Johto and most of the Sinnoh Pokemon are hard to remember. :\
 
Ah, I remember when I saw Slugma and Magcargo. It was in the Hoenn League when I saw Slugma (I can't remember when I saw Magcargo) and I was like "WTF? Is this a new Pokémon?" XD And then I found out it was from Johto. And I always though Skarmory was from Hoenn, too, until I saw the episode where Ash was training Cyndaquil (I like to backtrack). Other than that, I pretty much know when a Pokémon appears and I don't really ever forget any of them. . =/

Same exact thing for me. Exact, nothing different. I first saw Skarmory and Slugma in Hoenn, so I thought they were Hoenn Pokemon. Later, I went to check information on them on Serebii, but couldn't find them in the Hoenn Dex list.

They aren't forgettable to me anymore though. I'd have to say Dratini.
 
Using Gen 4's Vs. Seeker

Smeargle can use SKETCH on "the partner" in a Double Battle rematch.
I like to lay waste to the Twins just outside Floaroma Town.

Taunt, Skill Swap, Magnet Rise, Safeguard, and a "skipped" turn (Fly, Dive, Doom Desire, etc) may be necessary to prior to the use of SKETCH.

This also works against Hoenn's Reporter & Camera-man albeit with levelled consideration.
Smeargle are wild in Emerald Version.

Seriously! The amount of people that DO NOT KNOW THIS is unfortunate.

Spread this info!

~Smeargle is the only Pokemon to (naturally) gain BOTH effects of the move "Curse" by also knowing Conversion and a Ghost-move like Shadow Force/Night Shade/Shadow Sneak.

Phanpy and Delibird never really seem to be brought up or used in my opinon, and I love them both. There are a lot of pokemon I always just think like wow you never see that pokemon at all anymore. Like the biggest example for me seems to be Dunsparce.
 
I remember a few years ago I had lent Ruby to a friend... the next day she told me, 'I caught a Mawile! Isn't that cool?'

I was like, 'WTF? Is that even a Pokemon?'
 
I find it ironic that people like Gen 2 so much, and they like it to the point that they actually didn't want a Gen 5 game AT ALL and wanted a remake for Johto, yet the majority of overlooked Pokemon come from there.

Heck, I spell Skarmory as "Skarmony" until a while ago. :/

I have always been a fan of Torkoal. The tortoise was always amazing to use in battle.

I love Torkoal! I though it was so cute for some reason.
I always had him on my Team on the GBA generation.
