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. Personally I like every pokemon but if I had to decide it would be Houndoom because it kind of gave me the creeps when I was little but now I like it く(^_・)ゝ

  4. Literally everything from Generation III. Every. Single. Thing.

    I know a lot of you little kids are all liek but, but, OMG Ruby Sapphire was teh leetest! No. You’re wrong and I’ll explain to you why you’re wrong.

    1. The fucking starters: All of them. The fire chicken. The stupid gecko bush. The whatever-the-shit Mudkip is. Come on. Blaziken is hands down the worst offender, he looks like those gaunt teenagers at Hot Topic with the wide legged pants.

    2. Silcoon/Cascoon: It’s a bag of spider webs with an eye, maybe.

    3. Ludicolo: “Picture this,” says Pokemon Ruby art assistant, “It’s a Mexican duck pineapple which is also a lily pad that dances and is kind of a frog.” That guy deserved a promotion.

    4. Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir: My major beef with this line, aside form being all, you know, stupid is that Gardevoir can be a dude. So can Kirlia but that’s not so bad. They backpedaled on this one in the next generation with Gallade but not entirely. If you want to make a male version of your clearly female design, do it and eliminate the fact that the original design can still be male, asshole.

    Sidenote; female Machamp should have tits.

    5. Breloom: Mushroomdinosaurkangarookungfusonofabitch.

    6. Whismur/Loudred/Exploud: Hai guise, we made subwoofer monsters. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

    7. Azurill & Wynaut: Seriously. Marill is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon. Wobuffet can suck a fat one, for all I care. But Azurill and Wynaut are the two most egregious Pokemon ever designed for many, many reasons. Not only are the absurdly useless, they look like complete shit. It flys in the face of the bygone designs from Gen. II that the only Pokemon of Gen. III related by evolution were so piss-poorly designed. It’s an insult, really.

    Why doesn’t Azurill have arms? Marill has arms. Azumarill has arms. Are baby mice born without arms? Is this real life?

    Wynaut. It’s cool, he’s got arms. They just happen to be growing of the sides of his God damned skull. Also, big blue dick from the forehead.

    I… I could go on and on for hours. I mean, Trapinch, Gorebyss, Spinda, Swalot, Glalie, Spoink, Electrike, Hairyama, Solrock, Lunatone, Plusle, Minun, etc. etc. etc. etc. If I don’t stop here, I’ll likely lock myself in the garage with my car running.

    Some of you will say, but there’s a garbage bag Pokemans now and a ice cream guy! Lawl, n00b! No, fuck you. Every single iteration of Pokemon has flaws and dumb or weird designs. Generation III was NOTHING BUT. An entire generation of a series that serves solely as a giant fuck up.

    If SUPERBLUESapphire and NEATOCRIMSONRuby get made, I will cry.

    • umm, i respect your opinion, but your arguments on the pokemon you mentioned are just….umm….. nuff said

      or maybe your trolling, can’t tell

    • The single fact that you compare pokemon by generations as if there was distinct differences in style, design or bases, made my bullshit detector beep like crazy so I couldnt manage to read beyond the first sentences.

      Reply
      • Well that’s a shame, since judgment based on a glaring lack of all possible facts sets off my assholeometer.

        “Every single iteration of Pokemon has flaws and dumb or weird designs”. Way past the first sentences, so I see why you missed that bit. I don’t hate by generation, but likewise it’s not my fault that generation three by nature contained the most awful designs.

    • Firstly let me say that was probably the funniest thing ive ever read on this site haha. Secondly i agree and disagree but meh we wont get into that and 3 I TOTALLY agree about the starters 😛 😀

  5. Okay,
    “insert stupid bias here”

    No srsly
    Time to ask something negative? Might as well suggest to commit suicide since living is so yesterday, next time?

    You could bitch about every single pokemon or admire them. Whats the point of asking people to share their bitching about them?

    Reply
    • Are you bitching about bitching? 😛

      But well, you could ask: what’s the point of asking these things? The answer is that there’s no real point. Things won’t change because we like or hate that one Pokémon. But people like discussing things. They want to share their own opinion to others, expressing their own feelings. It’s something human, and I don’t mind doing this, as long as it doesn’t transform into a flamewar.

      Reply
      • Oh no, theres plenty of stuff to discuss and ask that does indeed enhance the experience of being a fan of this franchise. This is not one of them and the information shared is given to mostly consist of rushed opinion regarding any pokemon.
        It doesn’t encourage contemplating or taking a proper look at anything or godforbid thinking whether the details have a reason or background for existing.
        Its just meaningless hate. Look at the comments.
        Unless the point is to enable people to vent instead of discuss.

        If you thought there was no point you wouldn’t ask.
        Im saying asking questions like this really has none, but if it wasnt so random and empty, it could.

        Reply
        • You know, that’s something that is out of my reach. Why I’d rather have constructive comments (I even stated it in my post), not everyone takes the time to write a full reply. Even when asking positive things there are a reasonable amount ‘lightweight comments’.

          But this is not something I plan on doing a lot. Expect the next one to be a lot more positive.

  6. I can’t believe nobody has said this…

    ZUBAT. OH DEAR GOD. worst. mon. ever.
    Funnily enough, I quite like crobat.
    I hate zubat the way everyone hates zubat. Take two steps through a mother f***ing cave, BAM, zubat -.-

    Closely following, as someone above me said, the third generation. Some of those pokemon are just… Wtf. Especially the starters >.< I do like the ralts line though 😀

  7. How come NO ONE mentioned those awful golem regi things. they are by far the weirdest non pokemn like things ever. They are useless. I hate them

    Reply
  8. If i had to go by being the worst due to uselessness, id have to say Phione takes the cake. Its only purpose is to be the only legendary obtained via breeding. Thats it. And the only reason you obtain it that way is because its parent is the only legendary obtained via egg. Total gimmick. I dont care for Manaphy or Phione but at least Manaphy is somewhat comepetively viable or at least thats what my friend has told me. Phiones dont deserve to exist.

  9. I am super surprised nobody is hating on:

    Ratatta/Raticate
    Sentret/Furret
    Poochyena/Mightyena (Zigzagoon and Linoone are exempt IMO)
    Bidoof/Bibarrel
    Patrat/Wachog

    I actually thought nothing could ever be worse than Bidoof/Bibarrel but then they gave him a cool ability and came out with an ever stupider looking rodent. I almost see the point of Bibarrel now.

  10. Most of the ones being mentioned on here are some of my favourites ;P

    My least favourites would be these..

    Stunfisk – Such an amazing design idea, a desert ray, but its completely wasted on something which just looks awful.

    Ambipom – I wasn’t a huge fan of Aipom, but Ambipom is just something else..

    Probopass – I don’t think anyone really likes this one :s It’s the moustache…

    Samurott – I love Oshawott and Dewott is cool, but Samurott just lets them both down.

    Emboar – Same reason as Samurott.

    Plusle & Minun – ..urgh… Helping Hand makes me want to just curl up and die.

    Lickilicky – I looove Lickitung but Lickilicky is a disgrace.

    Timburr, Gurdurr & Conkeldurr – Horrible designs, horrible faces, horrible clown noses, just all round horrible pokemon.

    Phione – I don’t really see the point in it.. Why does it even exist?

    Thats all I can think of for now 😉

    • Phione is the opposite special legendary pokemon.

      Like Mewtwo, it is a second version of a cute-event-legend.

      While Mewtwo is an artificially created stronger version of Mew,
      Phione is the natural (breeding) weaker version of Manaphy.

  11. I hate bidoof. I can not even begin to tell you how much I hate his stupid face. His evolution too. From the moment I saw it I hated it and wanted it to die like I have never wanted before. What makes me even more upset is that it has become a joke among my friends. I had one day came home to my room full of bidoof pictures, plushes toys and other stupid things. I was not a happy girl that day. I gave them all to my baby nephew and he still has them all this day. He calls them his babies. >.>
    Its also why I dont leave my game around the house anymore. One day I came home to a couple boxes of bidoofs named NOTBIDOOF or FOODIBTON.

    I just. I can’t.

    Reply
    • I agree with you on Bidoof. It is like the worst Pokemon in that generation. When I first got my game, I refused to catch one.

      Reply
      • Although I agree Bidoof doesn’t look good at all, I think it is getting a lot more hate than it deserves. It looks really silly, but there are far more uninspired Pokémon than him.

        Reply
        • It’s not even completely about looking silly, it’s name does it enough justice in the silly department. But in all concepts, it is just a Ratatta wanna-be. It knows basically the same move set. Except the one difference is that it is a beaver. Beavers to me seem like a water type, but it never learns any water moves. Until it evolves, then it goes from a plain old normal type into a normal and water type. What’s up with that. It was still a beaver when it was a Bidoof, so why did it have to change into a Bibarel just to be able to become a water type?

  12. My least-favorite Pokemon is Chingling. Because let’s face it, who cares about Chingling? Really and truly, it’s so completely unremarkable. Some Pokemon are weak, some Pokemon are stupid, some Pokemon are hideous, some Pokemon are any combination of the above. But Chingling is none of that. It’s not horribly weak, it’s not awfully annoying, and it’s not badly-designed. It’s just really, really boring, and that’s why I can’t stand it.

  13. I don’t like Shuckle one bit. Its face sceams of derp, as if it was trying to say “Play a game of whack-a-mole with me!” Then when you do, you hit it on its head and dies.

    Grimer. A puddle of sludge.

    Muk. A slightly larger puddle of sludge.

    Cryogonal. It’s just a sad snowflake. It’s probably sad because it knows it doesn’t deserve to be a pokemon.

    Rattata. Joey alone ruined this for me. Besides,

    Magneton. This just doesn’t make sense to me. It goes from one body, to three bodies, to one body. Unless I’m missing something here, it makes me confused. Besides, it’s ugly.

    Last but not least, Foongus and Amoonguss. I can not look at this pokemon without feeling a sudden urge to slam my head into a door. The single thing that makes me hate them the most is how they only have one nostril on their left side.

    Reply
    • Well, the concept of magneton can be easily explained. It first consist of seperate magnet entities that stick together by magnetic force. When exposed to a strong magnetic field (that one cave), they cling so hard together they become one.
      Although I have to say that it goes against the rules of physics in the real world, but at least it’s coming from somewhere.

      PS: Leave rattata alone. You’re just jealous that he’s in top 1%

  14. I can’t stand Tympole. I don’t know why, it just seems like a poorly matched up pixelated abomination. It is like they tried for another cute first evolution and failed miserably. Even it’s evolved forms aren’t very appealing. =/

    Reply
  15. I have to say my least favourite pokemon is Foongus/Amoongus.
    I try accept all pokemon but really? A pokeball mushroom that get bigger and uglier when it evolves?

  16. I’ve got a soft spot for weak Pokemon and trying to make them perform their very best. Even so I cannot find a reason to ever use Unown. It’s gimmicky (and not even a fun gimmick), weak, boring, and pretty much useless. On top of that, it takes up 28 sprites that could have been used on other Pokemon and I’m sure even Gamefreak regrets creating Unown every time they make a new game. If they had some crazy but impractical ultimate move or at least some cool signature move it’d be one thing but all they get is Hidden Power, a move that just about everything can learn.
