Most Forgotten Pokémon

What pokemon do you feel gets forgotten a lot?  I put my top 5 above in sprite form.  Probably the most apt to be forgotten come from the first 3 generations because DPPt and BW are still fresh on our minds.  I want to hear in the comments what pokemon you think get forgotten a lot!

You can check out the sprites page if you want to look over all the pokemon 🙂  Maybe you’ll have a ‘Oh! I forgot about that one!’ moment 😉

  2. I remember reading a few years ago about a group that was tested on how many pokemon they could remember, before RS I believe. Most forgotten was Qwilfish. xD Nowadays it has a special place in my memory because of this anecdote.

    While I’m at it, here’s a quiz with statistics on the very matter: http://www.sporcle.com/games/pokemon.php You can only access them after the quiz, though, which I can’t be bothered doing. There’s quizzes for all gens too.
    Lastly continuing from where I left off in the previous post… official toolbar RSS sent me here fine and dandy, now. 🙂 Thanks, Ozy!

  4. Aww, Finneon and Lumineon? I never thought of them as “forgotten” since they’re my favourite fish Pokemon. xD
    Although I like Gorebyss a lot, too. <3

    Umm.. For me, it would be..
    Sandshrew, despite how cute he is.
    Omanyte
    Slakoth
    Shuppet
    And.. Umm.. Probably Shuckle.

  5. When I saw the title “Most Forgotten Pokemon” the pictures hadn’t loaded and I immediately picked dunsparce, and then that was one of the ones there, so I pick…… Murkrow

  6. …And yet I have a decidedly profound love for the first three.

    I’d have to say Stantler and maybe Mantine to add to that list.
    Nowadays everyone remembers Dunsparce, though, because it is so “forgotten”. Oh, the irony.

  7. Too many to list:

    Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Paras, Parasect, Venonat, Venomoth, Hoppip, Skiploom, Jumpluff, Dunsparce, Sunkern, Stantler (and Waldorf), Mantine, Zigzagoon, Seedot, Slakoth, Nosepass, Barboach, Trapinch, Feebas, Shelgon, Combee, Burmy, Wormadam, Finneon

    And of all the Gen 5 Pokemon, people never seem to notice the existence of Ferroseed and Ferrothorn

    And I know one Pokemon people WANT to forget: Jynx

  9. And you guys call yourselves pokémon fans? Seriously, even if some pokémon are bland, or dumb, or really weak, I always remember every pokémon. I have them all in my my mind… But I would say that perhaps finneon and lumineon are some of the most forgotten pokémon by people in general…

  10. I guess Spinda? It was the last Pokemon I forgot, and it doesn’t come up a lot either.
    I can’t really say that I feel I lot of these Pokemon are forgotten…but then, I can’t really forget about most of these guys since I battle a lot. Gorebyss? Smeargle? Ferrothorn? Murkrow? No way these guys are forgotten.

    And Swalot’s cool. (・3・)

  11. Granbull yes! I’m glad someone mentioned it.
    Guillotine head, you know, Heracross’ cousin. Sniper. Viper. Pinser! Thank you Bulbapedia!
    Chimecho and co.
    Nincada. But Ninjask is good. Or Whismur.
    Relicanth.

    Most Johto Pokemon. Johto sucks >____> And 1st Stage evolution 🙂

  12. Mawile, Torkoal, Chimecho and Cradily… you’d only find them if you specifically looked for them, but there isn’t really anything worth looking for (other than completing the Pokedex) anyway…
