The End of a Generation
After what seemed like an eternity of PokéJungle.net being offline, we’ve been back for a few days now and continued our theme week starting with Generation I. Sadly, we’re cutting Generation I short so we can move on to Generation II and keep within the time constraints that will allow us to finish our theme weeks with Generation VI when Pokémon X & Pokémon Y launch on October 12.
So, we announce Generation I Theme Week as after this article, and urge you to stick around for the start of the second week very soon!
Introducing… Jungle5!
Welcome to our latest column, Jungle5 (or Jungle10, from time to time!) No, we’re not forming some sort of alternative pop group, instead each article will take a look at the Top 5 according to the topic and we will then ask you to make your own list in the comments. This first article will be taking a look at the Pokémon of Generation I, and the Top 5 of each PokéJungle Staff member.

My top Kanto 5:
1. Arbok
2. Kingler
3. Haunter
4. Charizard
5. Gyarados
I’m not surprised that Gengar and haunter are so popular; they’re the only ghosts of the gen!
1. Articuno
2. Lapras
3. Magneton
4. Vaporean
5. Charizard
6. Mewtwo
Was really hard to make since I don’t have a whole lot of Pokemon I freak out over in Gen 1 besides Articuno and Vaporeon. I put Magneton since he evolves into Magnezone, who is freaking awesome cause he is a UFO.
1. Charizard
2. Raichu
3. Haunter
4. Nidoking
5. Articuno
Naturally Charizard is number one for me, and everything else really follows suit. And I’ve always preferred Haunter over Gengar, just have. And Articuno being my original favorite Legendary.
1. Charizard (because I love fire-starters and loved his personallity on the anime)
2. Articuno (Ice-types are my favorite and it’s a fabulous bird)
3. Gengar (because it reminds me of a trickster friend I used to know on my childhood)
4. Alakazan (because its name was fun)
5. Gyarados (I love his history of overcoming bullying when younger and becoming a beast)
1. Ivysaur (my personal favorite starter pokemon)
2. Eevee (I loved the ability to evolve in different pokemon)
3. Porygon (I’m an IT guy, so…)
4. Fearow (It’s has been my bird of choice)
5. Cubone (the backstory is so sad.. I just want to hug it)
My top 5 is
1. Charzard
2. Ninetales
3. Arcanine
4. Exeggutor
5. Rhyhorn
1. Nidoking
2. Articuno
3. Arcanine
4. Pidgeot
5. Scyther
I wish I can make this list longer. But there are just pure aesthetics. Articuno, is my all time most favorite legendary pokemon design. For me, the most important aspect of a pokemon design are the eyes. Pokemon that have very good eye designs are easily my favorite regardless of body shape.
1. Vaporeon
2. Jynx
3. Jigglypuff
4. Tangela
5. Alakazam/Vileplume/Victrebell/Magneton (i can’t choose)
My top 5:
1): Vaporeon – ever since I saw it in the anime I had to have one it’s been my favorite Pokemon for years.
2): Blastoise – I’ve always picked the water starters since Water type is my favorite type.
3): Pikachu – my first starter Pokemon, & just a Pokemon I just love in general, no reason I just do.
4): Kabutops – my first fossil Pokemon, I thought Kabutops was just the greatest especially seeing it in the anime & the movie!
5): Starmie – most of my favorites are influenced by the anime. Since Misty is my favorite character/gym leader of course her awesome Starmie had to be on my list. 😀
1. Blastoise
2. Charizard
3. Nidoking
4. Arcanine
5. Taurus
1.Eevee(I always made sure to get eevee,trying out all of the evolutions… became sort of a tradition using them over the years in my team)
2.Vulpix/Ninetails(Probably one of my favorite Fire types, I use to love collecting the cards for them)
3.Bulbasaur(My favorite Grass starter of the gen)
4.Sandshrew(I always thought the little guy was cute >u< and sure had fun using him on my teams)
5.Mew (My favorite legendary of the gen vuv)
Isn’t Bulbasaur the only Grass starter of the gen? 😛
Daedardus!!
xD
1. Charmander
2. Charizard
3. Mew
4. Dragonite
5. Venomoth
1:Blastoise-,he just looked badass!(so stoked to get my hands on mega-blastoise)
2:Pikachu-he’s just f-ing adorable! I have both male and female at Lv100.
3:Mew-it was/is a real status symbol to have a mew.
4:Dragonite-he was the only dragon game in town in gen 1.
5:Raichu-an amped up version of pikachu and still really cute
I’m so disappointed by the lack of Lapras in here.
1. Lapras
2. Kabuto
3. Slowpoke
4. Ninetales
5. Venomoth
I wish this was a top 10 instead of a top 5
It would have been a Jungle10, but the post would have been huge 🙁
1. Eevee
2. Pikachu
3. Scyther
4.Charizard
5. Ninetails/Arcanine (tie)
Ooohhh toughie
1) Dragonite
2) Alakazam
3) Lapras
4) Gengar
5) Eevee
I know it seems like all of them are tough Pokemon and shiz, but they are honestly my fave Pokemon for this gen, not very unique I know
Since this is the end of Generation 1 talk, here’s a poem I wrote for Blastoise:
If I were a Blastoise, even just for a day
I’d shell-spin in the morning
And throw out all the water
And go drink saltwater with the guys
And hydropump after girls
I’d skull bash with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
‘Cause they stick up for me
If I were a Blastoise
I would turn off my cannon
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I am fighting so though
Oh, so though
I’d withdraw into my shell
And make my rules inside there
Cause I know that she’d be astonished
When I instantly come out of nowhere
It’s a little too late for you to Protect
Say it’s just a mistake think I wouldn’t OHKO you like that
If you thought I would lose to you you got it wrong!
Chorus: If I were a BLASTOISE! I think I cold understand how it hurts to OHKO everything I know! I know I’d be better BLASTOISE!
lol not as good as yours
It doesn’t rhyme and nobody ever uses the term “oh so though” or even just “so though”… Is your first language English :-
Unfortunetely no and thank you
1. Vaporeon
2. Lapras
3. Gengar
4. Ninetales
5. Dragonair/Articuno
I usually exclude Legendaires as favorites, but if I had to include it, it’s Articuno.
1) Blastoise
2) Lapras
3) Eevee
4) Mew
5) Arcanine
I’m not entirely sure but:
1) Mew
2) Charizard
3) Zapdos/Mewtwo
4) Pidgeotto
5)Victreebell/Vileplume
I know that having a tie for 3rd means that I should have lopped off the joint fifth Pokemon, but I love them too much.
So I see Sammydodger likes ferocious Pokémon while JannyB likes cute Pokémon (and Snorlax). Actually, I think PJ himself and I seem to have the most similar tastes, so I feel a little special now, not to mention it makes sense that I like this site. Anyway, my Jungle5? Ditto, Mew, Bulbasaur, Clefairy, and Kabutops, probably. It’s really tough to choose! Poor Voltorb, Cubone, Jolteon, Meowth, Porygon… Hope I didn’t hurt their feelings too much.
charizard, raichu, golduck, bulbasaur, kabutops, and ryhdon are my favorites!
1) Weepinbell
2) Articuno
3) Porygon
4) Lickitung
5) Muk
1-Blastoise
2-Pidgeot
3-Moltres
4-Snorlax
5-Mewtwo
EarthenWarrior’s top 5 are
5: Nidoking: no matter what Nidoking has always been on my team either red or fireRed
4: Charizard: that little Charmander will always be close to my heart from the good old days
3: Sandslash: if there’s anything i love is a Pokemon that can curl into a spiny ball and burrow underground
2: Snorlax: this guy is a Pokemon I can truly relate to, big, fat. lovable oafs that WILL put up a fight!
1: And you guessed my number one is RHYDON!
Rhydon is the best of the best when it comes to the type i love! a massive symbol the the Earth element! both offensively and defensively powerful
Some others include: Parasect, Vileplume, Poliwrath, Electabuzz, Kabutops, Machamp, Primeape, Marowak, Onix, Dugtrio and Aerodactyl
