ITT: Post your favourite Pokemon that doesn't get much love from the fans/franchise.
Froslass is my all-time favourite Pokemon ever. I love her design, the lore behind her, her typing. Sure, she's not great competitively, but she's my bro, well sis, for life. If I could have any Pokemon be real, it'd be Froslass.
How about you? Any all-time favourites that aren't really mainstream?

Stantler's never talked about on /vp/. But it was never featured on the Stantler thread.
But let's not forget this, stantler's pretty good.
This one, unironically.
It's not my all-time favourite, but it's a Pokemon I've learned to love despite all the hate. I understand why people would hate it, honestly, but it grew on me when I was more active in competitive battles. Always had some good, hard-hitting attacks up its sleeve, and was generally reliable. I think it's silly, but cute in a way.

Froslass has a wonderful design, OP. And even better, a great cry. I

Thanks man. I really think Froslass is a beautifully designed Pokemon, lovely cry yes, and a great typing. Like I said, not much use in competitive, but they don't need to be.

I'm not really too bothered by the lack of love it gets, I've always naturally ended up "contrarian" and at least it should never end up with a bad reputation.
As for why, I'm still on the journey of figuring that out myself but most of it does come from just the brevity in its simplistic, beautiful design. You get a good grasp of its personality and what it is the moment you see Swanna. Really glad I met it in BW and not with a static image from leaks or the flying animations of XY - first impressions are impactful.
Not my absolute favorite but he's definitely up there

I swear Claydol was in Digimon, but that must be my mind getting older. Someone's Digimon definitely looked like Claydol.
This guy doesn't get much attention, but I fucking love the design and name.
I fucking despise the mega though, the design is janky and that's probably the first and last time Gamefreak will ever acknowledge its existence.
Also he needs a +500 BST at the very least, the only advantage he has over Jolteon or Raikou is better coverage.
I don't know what /vp/ thinks of him, but he's one of my favorite water types.

angemon + armadillomon's fusion is pretty much white claydol
Heracross is my all-time favorite. But this guy right here is just a super well-designed Pokémon.
And the merchandise for it is garbage.
Such a wasted oppprtunity. Would love a figure of Reuniclus suspended in its jelly.

I never cared much for Froslass til I saw one of its idle animations, where it covers its mouth and giggles

They're both based on Shakouki-dogu.

He's so forgettable he's not even posted in "forgettable Pokemon" threads.
Original idea combined with a cool typing along with being competitively viable for 3 gens straight and counting?

Really deserved a mega in ORAS, maybe cross gen evolutions come back. My second favorite hoenn mon.
>>32080101
My favorite pokemon from alola and one of my all time favorite pokemon ever. Would have been my pick had you not posted.

Both heracross and reunicles are quite popular though. It's for good reason though, they're both phenomenal designs.

Probably the most underrated sinnoh mon. Other then having the fame of the snips set this guy doesn't get enough love.

Fire is probably one of my favorite fire types. I love it and durant a ton.
Actually, I'm going with durant. Really love this guy. Maybe in he future the females will get a queen evolution.
>>32078582
I also love Shedinja and a ton of bug or water types
