Do you ever give jank a shot? Do you ever catch the pidgeys and tentacools and get taken back by how much more useful they turn out to be. I had no idea I could love having a tentscruel for years cause I always glossed over tentacool. Now I love them little things.
I tried to use a shuckle in gen 6 to practice IV breeding, and the amount of funny shit I did with friends reminded me of how fun those pokemon that get very little attention are to just play around with.
Yeah, there's a fair amount of common-ish pokemon that can be really great in-game. Post-Gen II Zubat is consistently good, and regional stuff like Linoone, Swellow, Staraptor, Luxray are all great.

I captured a shiny Tentacool in AS. It was the first pokemon I encountered the first time I used surf.
I only captured it because it was shiny, I haven't really even used him. But I do believe I had one one my first Emerald playthrough back when it released.
I do tend to capture Zubat in the remakes of gen 1 and 2 because I really like Crobat and there aren't many flying pokemons I give a fuck about in Kanto or Johto.

I've grown to love Zubat. Crobat is a surprisingly great pokemon for something that's so common, and since it's friendship it also evolves quite early on.
Thanks to Nuzlockes, yes, I know this feel. I've learned to appreciate some of the Shitmon .. and also have learned that some Shitmons are just plain bad.
For me it was Diglett in a rom of Firered.
Fast and strong little fucker.

Dugtrio is sincerely one of my favorite Pokemon of all. How can you not love the line?i like to think he's a 3 headed, 1 bodied mole. That is some how less stupid than 3 Diglett never, never leaving each other
All the time. Every time I go back and replay a game, I try to use pokemon I've never used in a team before. I always end up with a bro that I thought would be garbage, although sometimes there are things that really are as bad as their reputation. Using Ledian for an entire playthrough is such a struggle even though it looks so cool.

God I know it's like magikarp. I don't even get it
I started breeding Tentacool for nature, got frustrated with it and dropped it for a Sharpedo.
Mistake? I like both Pokemon a lot.Or should I raise a Walrein?
Zubat is great, especially post-Crobat. Tentacruel I like design-wise but never given a shot to ingame, I should try that sometime. I'll often use regional birds until the Elite Four my first time playing through a generation.
I've only done one Nuzlocke, but in it I had a Dustox who made it all the way to Tate and Liza. RIP little bugger.
Geodude and Sandshrew from my yellow playthrough they were amazing

I had the same reaction to Gulpin, which I thought was the pinnacle of shitmon.

Plusle was an MVP during a nuzlocke.
It beat Watson's Magneton 1V1 and managed to take out Steven's Skarmory.
