your favorite pokemon is not as cool as gengar
>>388942925
Least it didnt get a shitty mega evolution which makes it look like a pile of fluff.
>>388943149
nothing after gen 3 or 4 is pokemon
>>388942925
But gengar is my favorite Pokémon. I haven't even played as any other character in pokken
>>388943246
But then you're missing out on this rad dood.
>>388942925
Gengar ruined Haunter.
>>388943510
ahh yes the glory of nu-pokemon design
>>388943589
haunter is a temporary blemish before you get your gengar
>>388942925

I suppose, but it's definitely cuter.
>>388942925
>gengar is not cool as gengar
I don't understand
>>388942925
She's much cooler the Gengar.
>>388943601

>>388942925
Wow such a cool looking Pokemon
>>388943246
Every gen has good pokemon.
>>388942925
he's not even the coolest in his own evolution line

>>388942925
Butalolanmuk is way cooler.
>>388942925
Gengar is my fav pokemon too, but it probably has to do with the fact that being a ghost type was really special in gen 1. That means that you and >>388943465 and me just wanna be special snowflakes.
>>388952602

We talking about favorite but lets change gears, post Pokemon you hate the most, out of design or gameplay wise

Out of the way, best pokemon coming through.
Haunter was cooler
>>388957171
t. zero friends
>>388942925
He is not. Gengar is top tier coolness levels, but my favorite is Typhlosion.
>>388957263
I had both friends and multiple Game Boys to trade with myself with, Haunter was always just cooler
>>388944004
>>388942925
Gengar is silly cool.
Golisopod is more traditional cool.
>>388943510
I fucking love the UBs designs. Shame that only Celesteela, Kartana, and Pheromosa remained competitively viable after a few months but eh, I don't play comp.
>>388942925
Sorry boyo but the real best boy is right here
>>388957934
You have bad taste, none of those are Pokemon
I've always liked the weirder designs, Porygon and Mewtwo were my favorites as a kid. Maybe that's why I prefer Megaten nowadays.
>>388958573
Never said they were or weren't in my post at all. Get fucked.
>>388958573
>>388958863
Was it ever clarified if UBs actually count as Pokemon?
>>388958863
>>388958949
They're not Pokemon as in they're just slapped together digimon. Took one look on Google to figure out they're not Pokemon.
The coolest Pokemon is the one you can always trust to get results.
>>388952904
If you were looking to push people's shit in you'd just have Mewtwo, Alakazam, Hypno, Gengar and dragonite. Maybe replace dragonite with dugtrio so that you could dig stall.
>>388958949
Yes, the Pokedex denotes them as Pokemon.
E.g. Buzzwole is stated as the "Swollen Pokemon" and Ultra Beasts are stated as Pokemon from another world.

>>388943787
Jinx is highly underrated. It's a shame she never gets ANY attention because of the whole black face debacle.
It actually sucks she doesn't have the black face anymore because she's based on a black faced, ogre woman from Japanese folklore so it kinda erases the reference to the folklore. She's also part ice type because said ogre woman was said to summon blizzards and live on ice topped mountains.
>>388959645
Digimon
Are you losers even trying
Mime Jr is cute.
>>388961772
Nice Digimon
>>388961772
Chandelure's a way better fire type
>>388943891
Amen to that.
Also unpopular opinion but Gen 5 is my favorite generation it has the most amount of Pokemon that appeal to me aesthetically. Also it has motherfucking Golurk.
>>388942925
I also like Bad Dragon
>tfw my boy just gets worse with each new generation
I miss the gen 4 and 5 days.
>>388947417
Kalos has my favorite batch of new Pokemon overall, but my number one favorite isn't from it.
>>388961958
>Muh stats
It's a chandelier. A turd like that is not better than Ninetales.
>>388962425
But a chandelier can kill your shitmon ingame and irl. :^)

They're awesome, especially Xurkitree and Buzzwole. Makes me wish GF would go for a more experimental spinoff/new IP, preferably with fresh gameplay and off-the-deep-end designs. A man can dream.
>>388947417
Outside of some ghosts and the new fossils, it wasn't really that memorable in terms of new species. Not to say the designs were bad, just that there wasn't as many outstanding ones that are the signature of a lot of gens. Also they were vastly overshadowed by the introduction of Megas in that gen.
>>388959516
SCYTHER used CUT!

But you're wrong.
>>388963025
Is that Giovanni? did he quit rocket and become a fitness instructor?
>>388942925
But what if my favorite pokemon IS Gengar? And what if I just caught a fucking shiny Ghastly in the old chateau right next to the spooky picture with the glowing red eyes?!
>>388962826
Looks retarded
>>388942925
I don't think I've met anyone else that likes this dude
>>388962826
I'd love that, I agree on the designs too, it was nice to see them make weird and alien looking stuff like Celesteela or Buzzwole when they had an excuse to break out of the more standard designs.
>>388962826
I'm still sad they just ended up being Pokemon. I loved the idea of alien life forms of eldritch nature invading the Pokemon world
Question: If I get a pokemon that only evolves from trades but a pre-evolutionary form in a trade, say Abra, and I level it up to Kadabra, will it ever evolve to Alakazam or no?
The Ultrabeasts are awesome. You're fucking fighting JRPG monsters with your pokemon.
>>388963497
nah nigga, only evolves directly after the trade
>>388947379
slowbro is a total bro. who needs speed when you got bulk?
>>388963497
You'd have to trade it again when it's Kadabra.
>>388963313
It's supposed to be whimsical, it's a wad of alien christmas lights. That's part of what I love about them, they're a great balance between fun and weird. You can tell they're not quite Pokemon as we know them, but they still fit in with the tone and world.
>>388963497
Trading is the only way to evolve it. It sucks, I know. I can never use Gengar Alakazam or Machamp in my emulated playthroughs.
>>388963323
I like Mr. Mime. I find him cool and interesting in a creepy and uncanny sort of way.
But then again one of my favorite Pokemon is Garbodor and to most people that makes my opinion invalid.
>>388963495
They weren't otherworldly though. They were just ugly bad designed bugs and electrical cords.
>>388961446
>implying shovel headed reaper claws is cooler then the fucking Iron Giant
>>388963856
Garbodor would be an alright design if not for the pointless pink/blue splotches, I still have no idea what they were thinking with that
>>388950135
Now this is a man of taste
>>388949272
This nigga right here and Slowbro. Goddamn kings.
However, pic related.

>>388963662
I just wish they had been proper boss monsters. Maybe get some crazy gimmick fights. But it's not like they do it with Legendaries even though those have actual lore reasons as to why they're basically just really strong regular Pokemon when you use them and not the world-forming god-like beings they're supposed to be.
>>388964263
>masterpiece
>posts generic Digimon
lol
>>388964263
Ninetales is very digimon-like in design, it's mostly the eyes and body shape.
>>388963983
Yeah I would've appreciated if he had actual, recognizable waste scattered around his body, like a fish bone at least. I like to think his teeth is broken glass though.
But I love him anyways. He reminds of all the trash and pollution monsters you see everywhere in media, Most notably Marjory from Fragglerock and Hedorah. I also like that he slightly resembles Totoro (which they made actual;y referenced in the anime) which is ironic since he's a nature spirit and Garbodor is essentially his thematic opposite.
>>388942925
gengar is my favorite
>>388964256
almost every pokemon is way smaller than it looks like it should be
Literally the perfect Pokemon.
>Strong as hell but has very glaring weaknesses that keep it from being cancer but don't exactly keep it out of the field
>Useful in game due to Flame Body+Fly before HMs were removed
>Perfect balance of coolness,cuteness,beauty and majesty
>While it's given a special appearance in BW/BW2 it isn't shilled or romanticized much
>>388964423
>>388964387
Fucking nu-/v/ has no idea what it's talking about. If Ninetales is "digimon", then half of gen 1 is digimon.
Pic of a actual digimon dog. You fucking retards.
>>388963662
I agree but a great deal of Pokemon are traditional JRPG monsters.
Even in newer gens, like Shiinotic being the Mushroom Man.
>>388961104
This is really badly done in comparison. It's like someone tried to copy the MOTHERFUCKING AGGRON format and failed badly. In fact, that's probably exactly what happened
>>388963856

>>388964595
But then we have Celesteela as our metallic giant with rocket hands and bottom, and it's triple Golurk's size.
I love Golurk but it never really felt like a giant mecha to me, it was always more of a Clay Golem style creature (ground type) to me.
>>388963856
Garbodor is for the intelligent. You don't need to feel bad at all.
>gengar as their favorite
my fucking nigga.
>>388964595
This. Except Vileplume. For some reason I always imagined it being shorter. Probably has to do with the downward angle used in its earlier art.
>>388954313
Good thing you can catch wild Gengar now.
>>388964779
Maybe half of Digimon are actually pokemon
>>388964117
Just play crystal and cheat one of the starters to be a Mareep. No reason why a mon that was in G/S shouldn't be in Crystal, after all.

He's one of those monsters who really embodies the spirit of the series. Just looking at him, you can tell what his gimmick is. And the name's a perfect pun. He may not be competitive, but he's /myguy/
>>388964373
>even though those have actual lore reasons as to why they're basically just really strong regular Pokemon when you use them and not the world-forming god-like beings they're supposed to be.

>Gothitelle
>Beartic
>Chandelure
>Garbodor (fuck you I like him)

>>388959645
I like you
>>388962581
When I was little I thought it looked like a fat purple cat and reminded me of the cat from Alice in Wonderland
>>388965480
I just like it because it had a shitload of amazing bug typeswhich led me to resent gen 6's Vivillon
>>388965530
Darkrai is an edgelord Pokemon but I love him anyways. He's essentially the Pokemon equivalent of The Bogeyman and I love that.
I named my Darkrai Freddy. Guess what that's a reference to.
Maybe all of you plebs should bow down.
>>388965480
>liking beartic

>>388967207
I don't hate the design I just resent it due to its pattern gimmick being used as a replacement instead of making more bug types and having gen 6's only bug line be yet another regular Lepidopteran. As a bugfag the gen had little for me and I can only use one Mega on a team anyway.
>>388967221
Just like it shifted from "gen 1 are the only real Pokemon" to "gen 1 and 2" because Johtoddlers grew up (and unironically believed their set of shitmons isn't the worst we've ever seen).
>>388967061
Also he would've made the perfect Bug/Dark, Poison/Dark, or even Poison/Fairy type.
It also could've been the first Pokemon since Vespiquen to have Defense, Attack and Heal Order to complete the "Lord of The Flies" motif.

I felt like it was a missed opportunity to not have Cutiefly be a horrible, relentless parasite that parasitizes the eggs of other Bug-types resulting their children to be born from the drained carcasses of the unborn despite it's cute appearance just like the thing it's based on.
I love Cutiefly don't get me wrong I just wish it was more biologically similar to the animal it's based on.
>>388968064

If you like wingull's line, you are wrong for doing so.
>>388942925
My favorite pokemon IS Gengar. I have this hat which I wear literally everyday. He's purple which is also favorite color.
I'll always have a soft spot for the egg family.
>>388944156
People always give him a bad rep but you have to read the lore of how fucking scary this fucker is. It's a being of pure electric energy. It slowly walks towards any source of electricity it can find like some sort of brainless zombie. And since it's almost literally just wires and electricity it sounds and looks likes this wherever it goes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkNY5xjy5k
Imagine watching some man like creature of white hot energy and lightning bolts walking towards your house. Shit is a lot more hardcore than you think.

Speaking of Umbreon I still think it should've been Poison type instead of Dark since the Pokedex entries say it's fur is covered in a poisonous fluid, the lack of poison type moves irritates me too.
When are we gonna get a Poison type Eveelution anyways?

It's too bad bug types are generally early encounters and have the lowest stats. At least Gen 5 did justice on them somewhat.
>>388968401
More like imagine being a worker at a power plant when Xurkitree is in the middle of a feeding raid

>mfw Scolipede is still somewhat viable outside of the baton pass banned showdown meta
It was nice having an early game bug that was capable in battle for once.
>>388968401
All the Ultra Beasts are kinda Eldritch their own way.
Especially Nihilego.
>>388968532
Right after we get a dragon eevee, my dude. We haven't had a horrifying, frilled beast eevee wince vaporeon.
>>388968535
The sad thing is they didn't let him learn Leech Life this gen, he'd have gained a lot from it.
>>388968535
I think Gen 5 might have the most amount of Bug and Ghost types in a single generation.
Two of my favorite types which is another reasons why it's my favorite gen
>>388968174
That would have been a lovely subversion of its physical appearance but eh, what can you do?
Was worth hunting down a shiny cutiefly for in game use, I like having a fly for once, even if it's not the kind I'm used to.
SM gave me a lot of dream Pokemon actually, I can have a bug team consisting of a spider, isopod, mosquito, roach, stag beetle, and fly all at once.

Good job, retard.
>>388968532
It's funny because Umbreon lacks offensive options so he has to pretty much rely on Toxic stall to win battles so that description is surprisingly accurate.
>>388969053
They did though in SM
Just in really stupid or useless ways.
The only one that had a major benefit afaik was mega beedrill.
>>388943510
I like Xurkitree's design and lore but I don't think there's anything wrong with admitting that he, and most of the ultra beasts, are basically just digimon
>>388969514
Nah.
The UB's have slightly more detail than standard Pokemon but none of them really look like Digimon or use any of Digimon's traditional design elements or style choices.
>>388943510
Remember when people speculated that Guzma was a Pokemon all along?
>>388943510
Design-wise, best of the ultra beasts
>>388969163
I love suicune, but it seems like most people dont
>>388942925
>>388969325
>Butterfree and Beedrill were not explicitly designed with the intention of them being shit 3 stage evolutions
Wow anon you're so smart :^)
>>388969840
Nobody is saying that they weren't. But they're gen 1 relics and the idea of having intentionally shitty 3 stage evos is outdated, you stupid fuck.
>>388966026
That's my favorite of the three birds. He looks so elegant.
>>388969801
Suicune is pretty popular.
As far as popularity goes it's
Entei>Suicune>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Raikou
From what I've seen over the years. Probably because Raikou didn't get a big movie role until the Zoroark movie, and he had to share it with his cohorts.
>tfw I never got a Gengar as a kid because I was playing on emulators and didn't wanted to cheat

Incorrect

>>388970106

it has always been awful
there is no cooler sprite in all of pokemon

>>388970104
Agreed (Saber toothed tigers are cool) but aside from a shitty "zipzap cat" meme years back, Raikou gets little attention compared to his counterparts.
>>388970291
The most disappointing pokemon of the last decade. I was ready to write off the derpseal until I saw the shitowl and shitcat final evos. Now I use that atrocious abomination, Primarina.
>>388969976

>>388970228
>I don't know that Butterfree and Beedrill were meant to be caught as caterpie/weedle in bug forest and fully evolved, at level 10, in time for Brock
Are you quoting yourself? You're the one who believes there's no reason for an early-caught, early-evolving Pokemon to have a weak third stage (and that game design is a spook, apparently).
>>388970342
Do we have to blow you the fuck out every single day by reposting Voltorb Mr.Mime and Jynx? Are you a masochist or something?

It's a retarded thing to have in a game that already features evolutions. The early stage pokemon are pre evolved pokemon or single stage pokemon. Having a 3 stage evo that's complete by level 10 and results in a giant pile of shit is retarded design.
>>388970342
Yeah man I love the folklore inspiration behind Skull Wearing Dog, Spiky Poisonous Rabbit and Just A Bull. By contrast I loathe introduced predators and Nidhogg Gundam.

>It's a retarded thing to have in a game that already features evolutions.
Yeah man, it's so dumb to feature something that evolves early but is relatively weak to showcase the mechanic while encouraging players to swap out team members and experiment with new Pokemon. What a bad feature. There's no way they could have intended it this way, with all the Bug Catchers telling you how Bug Pokemon evolve quickly but aren't the strongest!
>>388970342
>comparing watercolored first stages with digipainted megas and legendaries
>>388970864
Mankey also pisses me off to find!
>>388970870
Yes, Hypnosis is the shit.
First pokemon I leveled to Max, thought typhlosion was dumb as fuck
>>388970887
Yes, it's retarded to have blatantly garbage 3 stage evolutions.
>muh bug catcher lore
Fuck off.
>>388970728
Gen I was not designed with balance in mind. It's why Psychics are retardedly strong. Some mons were meant to be much better than others.
>>388970810
I want to suck her juicy tits!
If you can name a Pokemon after the 2nd gen then you need to go back to plebbit.
>>388970539
Well some bug pokemon did really well in past metas, for some strange reason
>>388971091
Shut up Jeremy.
>>388970342
Don't you fucking talk shit about Incineroar you dick whistle.
Also Yungoos' evolution Gumshoos is actually one of the best Pokemon in Sun & Moon thematically. He's designed to look like a detective or disgruntled police commissioner which perfectly clashes with the fact that Yungoos were introduced to Alola to handle the Alolan Ratatta population, which just so happens to look like little bandits.
It's literally "Cops and Robbers" as Pokemon. You can't say that's not creative.
There is a huge sperg at my uni who is horrible at coding and will go to TA office hours to regularly bully them and cry until they basically do the assignments for him. He wears a hat with Gengar on it with the ears sticking out. Everyone calls him Gengar and he calls himself that now. It’s ruined Gengar for me. Fuck this douche.
>>388970342
Genwunners are just sad and pathetic.
>>388970736
what about the other original and inspired gen 1 gems, such as dog with fire, or dragon with fire? and who could forget bird with fire, that one's a classic
Pokemon sucks but some of them are QYOUUTE
>>388970342
I love the old art style. I had a Gold and Silver strategy guide when I was younger and used to just flip through it to look at the character and pokemon art.
>>388971186
I have dealt with a similar situation only with Jolteon, who was never my favorite but I can never look at the same way again
>>388960008
Good thing they have the same total number of stat points. Didn't become obsolete, unlike Onix.
Plus he has eviolite as an option.

>>388973407

You know you would.

>is Gengar the most liked Pokemon at this point?
I fucking wish then maybe we'd get some decent Gengar merch
>>388973272
Indeed!
>>388973494
That's because he's part of the original Ghost linewhich happened to also be Poison but detailsand is one of the first you see in Red/Blue due to the intro.
Also look at that motherfucker, that smile is dope.
>>388973494
In terms of popularity among all people without dislikes? Possibly.
If it were just the Pokemon fanbase though, Fug is a strong contender. Most people like Fug.
>>388972723
He kinda looks like one to me. The ears, tail, body shape, and how he stands anyway. It fits well with him being a water-type, too, so that's what I go with.
>>388973953
i had too google what fug was and then i had too google what that goofy looking thing was. he's definitely not popular outside of weirdos like vptards.
>>388972819
I had to look that up. Pretty neat.
He's useless, but he's a fucking giant serpent made of rocks. He was cool to me then, and he's cool to me now.
Also, >>388949272
>>388974128
Fug is just Rayquaza.
What I meant was general fans of Pokemon who play the games from what I've seen like fug. Few dislike fug.
>>388974342
>45 attack
Reminder that a 8 inch ghost dressed in rags has double the attack
>>388971671
That is why gen 1 pokemon were so beloved. That is why they have the best designs. They were so simple that many of them could actually be imagined as real animals. Pidgey gen 1 sprite especially comes to mind. It looked just like a bird with its bird eyes.

>>388974762
Jetsam used to be so cool but then they changed the portrait for clothes and he looks like he has downs.
>>388974134
Not only is he based on the Sazae Oni (the shell being a dead giveaway) but I think his manatee-ish appearance is a reference to how sailors used to mistake manatees for mermaid from a distance.
The manatee thing is just speculation but I love that Slowbro is just a jumble of different things but still has a mythological origin.
outta my way fucking shits

>>388975801
The fact that Hypno canonically hypnotizes and kidnaps children is kinda the reason he's been twisted into this vile rapist. Granted Hypno being this hypnotic kidnapper is kinda cool in a really creepy sense but I wished the whole "Hypno's Lullaby" thing didn't happen since that's what snowballed the whole thing.
I like to think Hypno only kidnaps kids because he wants a playmate because he's lonely since a lot of people think he's too ugly or creepy to train.
>>388974342
I wish they'd just fucking buff him. I know that his stats suck because they didn't want the first gym being too hard but god damn I want to use him. A gigantic rock snake that burrows through the earth shouldn't be that weak.
>>388977896

I remember seeing the Pokemon Go Trailers, seeing Pikachu get the final blow on Mewtwo and I was like "Of course it's fucking Pikachu", then it happens again with Lugia, and I'm like "Of COURSE it's FUCKING Pikachu." He's not even a good pokemon though, with trash stats in a trash line, and that's what gets me the most. It'd probably have a great niche in Little Cup with it's crazy movepool, but that's not even an option any more because of FUCKING Pichu!

Skeeter unfortunately is too slow and can't really compete for a slot when so many better options exist in the current meta, even in the restricted SM meta.
Buzzwole, Nihiliego, and Xurkitree are alright but not that commonly used due to falling from grace a few months ago.
Celesteela remains the most used UB by far and the only thing stopping her from becoming on par with box legends is lack of recovery like synthesis.
Pheromosa is still great in singles online, I think the smogon meta banned her but she's still used quite a bit in the actual games, but she's not that great in doubles.
Inverse for Kartana, not great in singles but a staple in doubles.
Guzzlord is irredeemable shit despite being the only UB that can stand against Alolan Marowak, the "Beast Slayer."
