What’s your favorite Gen V pokemon?

Just a fun post to spark discussion in the comments :3  Got a LOT of stuff to do in the real world today so I just wanted to add something new for you all to talk about, but couldn’t get a large piece up.  Silver wrote up a great read on Team Plasma which should go live tomorrow when I have time to post it.

<3 pokejungle

ps- Pictured are my top 3 :p

pps- I want to do a post on Gen V FANART so go to the ‘Contact PJN‘ page and link me to your art in your message!  Doesn’t have to be pokemon, feel free to submit your art of characters, towns, etc, but make sure it is YOUR art.  Don’t have your art online?  Upload to imgur or a similar site :3 [ps- don’t forget the name you want to be credited with if we select your art to post!  I would prefer to use an online handle vs real name (no using last names either)]

  1. Well Pokejungle, if you mustttt know…

    I have no ‘favourite’, more like Favourites 😛

    There’s the Mijumaru line, the Tsutarja line, just Pokabu *evo’s are soo ugly*, Erufuun, Terakion, Gigaith, Zoroak, Onondo <3, and many others, oh and Rankurusu!

  2. In this generation I really like the whole Hitomishi line in terms of design type mixture and concept. Hey the stats aren’t too bad and the move pool is fair. On a downside they do have alot of weakness. However ‘m not going to use them on my team.

  3. Warubiaru and Tsunbear. Tied.

    Though other standouts are the Hitomoshi line, the Yabukuron line (STFU whiners), and Marakacchi. *likes obscure Pokémon*

  6. Frankly there is basically (again) none I dislike.
    I love it that they reused old concepts, because I knew if they did this, the pokes would still all look unique and different regardless.
    I dislike some of the data behind them (fire starter part fight again, WE GET IT; etc)
    But seriously don’t ask me to list my favourites, cause the list will be too long.
    If I had to do the reverse, the list would consist of maybe the mushrooms final stage (the lil mushroom had so much potential it could have evolved into something way more original) and definitely nothing more. But even then I’d first wait to see it’s sugimori art. I mean, look at the red speedy centipede. I loved it from the beginning, but when I saw the sugimori art, wow! EPIC nuf said :<.

  7. If I have to choose a regular mon it would be sweet, darling, Emonga. If I have to pick three, I’d say the starters’ final evolution. If I have to pick among non-legendary version exclusives, I’d choose Gothizelle and Wargle. If I have to pick a legendary exclusive, I’d say Zekrom. Finally, if I have to pick an event-only Pokémon, I’d choose Genesect.

  8. I like the entire Gigaiath line, Kokoromori, the fire anteater, Daikenki, Gamagaru, Waruvile and his prevo, Iwapress, Shinpora, the turtle fossil’s evo, Dentula and his prevo, Onondo, and Crimgon. Actually, there’s a lot I like, but those are some of my favorites. The only ones I really don’t like are the genie trio, the two garbage bags, and the knight-bug.

  10. GF has made up for the abomination that was 4th Gen. Two of my new faves are definitely Washibon, because he’s so freaking cute, and Futachimaru, who’s just purely made of awesome.

    Not a Crimgan fan though.

  11. Definitely Abagouru. It’s one of my favorites of all time, in my top 5 (and I’m a nostalgiac who has been upset since R/S/E on the poor designs) which include him, Umbreon, Lanturn, Dugtrio (albeit not a very clever design, but I’m attached to him. My siblings each took either Cubone or Sandshrew. I picked my diglett :D) and, number one, Lickitung (but dont get me started on lickilicky >.<)

  12. Crearly, my favorites are Sazandora and Ononokusu. These dragons are better than everyone else. o__0
    But, I also really like Urugamosu (MOTHRA WTF!!), Shubarugo, Kirikizan (Go Go Power Rangers!), Chirachiino, Abagoora and Doredia.
    BUT MIJUMARU RULESSS!!!!!!

  13. That question is seriously too hard for me o.O

    Uuhm let me think… I will try to make my top 3!

    1) YANAKKI!
    This grass monkey is way too awsesome! This is by far my favorite pokemon of all! I guess xD

    2) Desukan OwO!
    Ok this pokemon gets the second place because he just lost to my own Yanakki… Just got a little fight over those two haha XD THIS THING IS AWESOME! He is strong he looks creepy and it’s Egyptian TwT I love ancient Egypt! Like really xD

    3) Kojondo!
    Third place was too hard for me .___. I had so much other mons I wanted to add but he just won my heart =D or something like that xP I love fighting type pokemon and the moment I saw this Pokemon I immediately thought, THIS GOT TO BE A FIGHTING TYPE! PLEASE! And it is =D He is amazing, and wins a lot for me 😉 even some of Cynthia’s pokemon with being at level 63 OwO!

    So that’s about it ^^ I love this article! Good job Ü

  14. I’m now disliking the gen in terms of design. I think the anime worsen it because they all seem much simplier (in a bad way) there, the lines of the drowings are so marked that it makes them boring.

    We have less of those hugely critisized designs that were so much “charged” and “artificial”. No we had more “natural” ones, but too boring in some cases, as I said before.

    Anyway, I love Rankulus and Desukan (not real aminals at all, that’s what I like at the moment, and they feel so Pokémon for me). I wouls also say that now I like Vaivanilla, but definitely less than the others.

  15. Mijumaru is my #1 favorite Pokemon at the moment, and might be forever <3 Other highlights in this gen were Denchura, Ulgamoth, Kojondo, the monkey trio, Gochiruzeru, Rankurusu, Shandera, and Victini.
