Dae asks: Worst Pokémon

Time for something different on Dae asks. Instead of always asking positive things, it’s time for something negative. Actually, this was PJ’s idea, so it won’t be something that is going to happen a lot.

I always see people complain on the internet whenever a new generation comes out. Everyone has at least one Pokémon they totally dislike. Which is yours? And don’t go shouting “gen v is worst gen”, even Geodude is just a rock with two arms and a face. Try to be constructive, as I don’t like plain hatin’.

Go on, the comments are below for you to post in. I’m enjoying my Easter Break, and will be back with hopefully some news to discuss. Famitsu could leak anytime now, so keep your eyes on this site.

  1. Sigilyph. I’m not a gen V hater, there are some from each gen I love and hate, but Sigilyph just takes the prize for worst IMO.

    It looks awkward, complicated and un-pokémon-like

  2. Unfortunately, my least favorite Pokémon is Lickilicky. Getting fatter isn’t really evolving, now is it?

    I use the word unfortunately, because I generally appreciate all Pokémon for their quirkiness. But Lickilicky is just a lazy abomination.

    Gosh, even the much hated Garbodor is absolutely adorable in comparison.

  3. “Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best. I like your style. You understand what’s important. Go on—the Champion is waiting.”

    Honestly I TRY to like every Pokemon, but if I had to pick one that I hate or is the worst…….. I’ll get back to you….

  4. Plusle and Minun. Worst Pikachu clones, and their cute design is too generic. They don’t really have a basis for their design and are too similar to Pikachu (specially Plusle). At least, Pachirisu and Emolga look more different (being based on other animals). Plus, instead of just one, they made two of them in just one gen.

    • I know this isn’t just about Pikachu clones but being the worst pikachu clones makes the worst pokémon for me. All other pokémon are at least OK for me.

  5. The worst pokemon has to be Vanilluxe. That whole line is just stupid. Its an ice cream pokemon. Yeah its different but not cool different like Exeggegutor its just fails all ovet for me. Hell the shiny isnt even chocolate which would have been some what redeeming.

    • Its not ice cream. Its a pokemon that resembles ice cream when covered in snow. Pokemon had this kind of mimicry since the beginning of the franchise. Now go hate on Koffing and co.

      Its not cool? lol..

  6. The worst Pokémon for me is the Vanillite line, and Vullaby (not it’s evolution, just Vullaby), and somehow I wasn’t surprised that the creator of these pokemon is the same person.

    The only other Pokémon that I dislike is Probopass. Nosepass was a great idea, I love the easter island thing, but then it’s evolution is Mr. Potato Head gone wrong. lol

      • My best friend looks like Probopass. So i cant hate them entirely. But still a moai head with a mustache is just creepy. Almost a creepy as the fact that last i checked there are male gothitelles :/

  7. I think the worst Pokemon, design-wise, was Voltorb. It’s literally just a Pokeball with a face, which, by any standards, is just plain lazy.

    But my personal least favorite Pokemon are Sawk and Throh- followed closely by Hitmonchan. I like Hitmonlee and Hitmontop…but there’s something about human-like Pokemon (that goes for all of them) that I just don’t like…

    • Mentioning Voltorb reminds me of Foongus…this generation’s voltorb pokeball ripoff pokemon. It just ruins the whole “Pokemon are wild creatures” thing for me when they have pokeballs on them.

      • Well, who’s to say that Pokeballs weren’t actually based in design to look like Voltorb and Foongus? There’s an explanation for everything.

        My least favorite Pokemon? Jeez, I’d have to pick Magmortar, Lickilicky or Probopass. I liked the originals, and then they had to make them all ugly. Kinda disappointing, really.

        Magmar and Electabuzz were always a tough choice for me, as I loved both of them equally, and they both were powerful Pokemon. Electivire, while I didn’t like it at first, grew onto me. It still had the base design that Electabuzz had. Magmortar looks like someone shoved plastic implants into a set of lips onto a Magmar who just came out of depression. It’s sickening.

        Lickitung was one of my favorites, and I was so happy to read they had made an evolution (I hadn’t seen the artwork at the time), and when I saw its evo I nearly cried due to its hideous appearance. How could they do that to Lickitung?!

        I used to rock a Nosepass in my original Ruby version, thanks to electrical attacks like Shock Wave and Thunder Wave. Should use it again sometime.

    • Nostalgia keeps people from hating on Gen 1 Pokemon in general. If Gen 5 and Gen 1 were switched, however, I’m sure people would be complaining about how Weezing, Voltorb, Magneton, Muk, Starmie, Ghastly, etc…are based on objects and just “aren’t pokemon-ish.”

      True story.

  8. For me? The Gothorita line. They made it look like an ugly, weirdly-clothed, human-type thing. I can’t even begin to describe how horrible it seems to me. Frankly the further Pokemon stay from looking like humans, the better. Though some of them like Mr. Mime for some reason seem to be Pokemon-ey enough for me.
    Honourable mention to Jynx.
    And I’m probably a bit hypocritical, yes.

  9. Tough pick between Dunsparce, Qwilfish, and Wynaut. I’d have to say Wynaut though because it’s kind of a useless baby Pokemon, it doesn’t look cool, and evolves into a Pokemon I personally never used unless I was going to catch Mewtwo in FR/LG. Plus, the only way to get it in R/S/E was Mirage Island which almost never showed up for me. Qwilfish at least looks cool and Dunsparce gets picked on enough.

  10. Magikarp, hands down. It is completely useless, hard to train, and simply has a terrible design (is it suppose to be a carp-goldfish hybrid?). The ironic part is that Magikarp evolves into one of the best designed and strongest water type Pokemon ever conceived: Gyarados. Irony:/

  11. By the way, have any of you noticed that Mr. Popo(Dragon Ball) and Oil Man(Mega Man) share a few similarities with Jynx? They were all black skinned with big lips, came from beloved Japanese franchises,caused controversy in America because of racial allegations, and had to be edited for North America. Just a thought…

  12. What on earth is the point of Mawile. It has absolutely nothing going for it. You can’t use it in battle and it looks awful.

  13. i have to say my least favorite pokemon would probably be ambipom. i absolutely loved aipom then i when i saw its evolution i was like wtf lol

  14. Easily, hands down for me is Nosepass and Probopass. UGH it’s just…hideous. Honestly I’ve never been so appalled before by a Pokemon until they came along.

    Then you get people complain about new Pokemon, how ugly they are, and all I wanna do is just guide them to Probopass. afl;jadslfgjklfgj. *insert rage face here*

  15. I would probably say Throh…It’s design just creeps me out, with its funky unibrow. Plus, it looks like Bert from Sesame Street…Like even Sawk looks slightly badass.
