[Nyarlathotep]

I think the Oshawott line is slightly overrated
I like Emboar
I like using the three Elemental Monkies

I like all of them too, but the only one who have a place in my favorites is Panpour/Simipour.

[PsychicPsycho]

I don't play the game with any sound (on purpose), so I guess you could say I find the music unimportant.

I agree with Ivysaur, Bayleef(<3), Quilava, and Grovyle. I dont really like the Mudkip line and I like Samurott's design (albeit not as much as Emboar and Serperior's) Charmander will always have a place in my heart and is the only pokemon I will like due to nostalgia and childhood memories and this is the only reason why I like it more than Charmeleon.

I prefer the final design of every starter, except Infernape and Swampert, and perhaps Feraligatr.

-That you are stupid if you care about your pokemon. I love my beasties. I don't give two f&@k's that they are "just data", to me, they are something more.

Agree

[dirkac]

I think music is about 75% Of Pokémon :P

I heavily dislike competetive, and how it disses all my favorite Pokémon, and really, pretty much everuone I know says my team is so horrible I should switch it around, IN INGAME. Though I do want to learn competetive :P

The Chimchar and Tepig families are WAAAAAYYY overrated.

Masquerain can and will sweep all games if trained properly.

I dont treat my Pokémon like data, I get attached to them, and I really do care for them.

[Nyarlathotep]

I think music is about 75% Of Pokémon :P

I think music is about 60% of any game. :P I tend to drop games which have bad musics.

Me too.

The Chimchar and Tepig families are WAAAAAYYY overrated.

Are you kidding? Tepig is basically the most hated starter line. Chimchar line isn't really overrated, people like it because Infernape is a beast competitively. The Charmander line is the overrated one :P

Me too, again :P

If we're talking about least chosen, Chikorita says hi.

A wild Stealth Rock appeared! xDDD Charizard lovers should be glad entry hazards aren't often used in-game :3

Unpopular opinions... I dislike how people think Garbador and Vanilluxe are unoriginal. Charizard is wayyyy more unoriginal tbh. A fire breathing flying dragon-looking lizard is wayyy too overused. Garbador and Vanilluxe actually are aesthetically pleasing than a pile of purple sludge, a weird humanoid with oversized muscles and underwear or a red and white giant ball.

Others include:
People thinking Red is overrated
People who bashes anything Gen 2 onwards
People who hates Samurott... It's awesome!

Less franchise relatedd
Over hate of Smogon (people hate how they dictate the scene when it's actually the usage - Eg. Metang in RU)

[Nyarlathotep]

Fair enough. Tepig is the SECOND most hated line. xD

Thisss! You are my hero. :P

People thinking Red is overrated

Isn't he? I mean, people treat him like the 'best trainer evah', but he is not better than the other protagonists in any way. In fact, Lyra/Ethan kicked his *** on Mt. Silver :P

I personally don't hate him, mainly because I like manga!Red, but...

[Endolise]

People thinking Red is overrated

I don't see how he isn't overrated. Ethan/Lyra, Brendan/May, Lucas/Dawn and Nate/Rosa have all done the exact same things he did (force a criminal syndicate to disband and become the Champion); Ethan/Lyra have even gone so far as to have canonically defeated Red, and yet people still worship Red like a god, most often times because "he did it first." Well big whoop.

[dirkac]

I think music is about 60% of any game. :P I tend to drop games which have bad musics.

I do that a few times, I actually dropped from BW for how uninteresting the music sounded in the beginning. Once you got to Gym 6 or so, you start getting good music.

Me too.

Are you kidding? Tepig is basically the most hated starter line. Chimchar line isn't really overrated, people like it because Infernape is a beast competitively. The Charmander line is the overrated one :P

I thought people liked Tepig as it was another Fire type. Charamander is truly overrated, but underrated in competetive :P


Me too, again :P

I like Chikorita! So cute and all :3


Red's overrated, Breandan and Lucas are soo much better.

the Trubbish, Vannilite, and Foongus lines were original, most of this hate probably comes from people who think GOLEM is origianl.

I actually like all of those "Useless" Sinnoh Evos. Really. much needed.

In my opinion, Fire types are the worst types. (this is probably the reason that I only have Fire types in two of the Pokémon games I own)

I think Bug types are pretty underrated as a whole. NOT INCLUDING THOSE OVERPOWERFUL VOLCARONA.

I should rephrase that competetive part in my last post.

I DISLIKE THAT MOST PEOPLE HATE ON MY FAVORITES BECAUSE THEY ARE DEEMED TOO WEAK. (eg. Glalie, Swanna, Drifblim)

[OceanicLanturn]

Well, I like Red, I won't deny that. I love manga red :3 If you guys were talking about Games Red, leave me out. xD

[dirkac]

oh, I love manga Red too. Was talking about game Red.

Ugh. Much too overrated.

[Nyarlathotep]

I thought the music of BW was pretty decent when I first played it, but not as good as DPPt soundtrack, of course.
At least the rival theme from BW is way better than the DPPt one. I haaate Jun's theme ._.

Same here. I don't like all of them, but I also don't feel like they were useless.

Bug-Type is probably the least appreciated type after Poison and Rock. Well, at least Rock-Type moves are common in most teams ._.
But it is one of my favorite types :3 I like a lot of bugs: Heracross, Venomoth, Accelgor, Illumise, Yanmega, Leavanny, Scolipede, Crustle, Escavalier, Scizor, Vespiquen...

But in all fairness, Bug is waaay more appreciated today than it was before generation IV and V.

Grass types are also quite under appreciated, since most Water types have Ice Beam and it has 5 weaknesses. Poison is just rarer... I have to say Gen IV really gave Poison types a new breath of life (no pun intended) in Crogaunk line and Drapion line, both of which are fascinating. Gen III is also a nice gen, since it gave Weezing Levitate. But many special poison types are just held back before Gen IV... similar to Gengar I guess.

I'm not 100% sure flying types are very appreciated other than a few defensive powerhouse or offensive powerhouse (Staraptor/Skarmory...) OR Flying slaves... xD Dark types are also quite rare, and not exactly the most appreciated either, except for immunity to Psychic :3

[Endolise]

Yeah, I was referring to Games Red. I've never Red the manga.

Have to disagree here. BW music was, good, but was in no way to what I was used to.
And I didn't feel like the BW Rival Battle theme didn''t fit for EITHER Cheren or Bianca, as it was too happy go lucky for the troubled life the ditzy Bianca faced.


Same here. I don't like all of them, but I also don't feel like they were useless.

I did actually love Bugs before BW, they were mandatory in my team, and I had at least one bug in my team at all times (exception being JP Platinum, in which I had both Beautifly, Dustox and Mothim until the 5th Badge)

Also, nobody seems to like Chikorita. :'(
I love Chikoriuta, and it is by far the most underrated Poké of all times (Ok. Finneon and Hoppip are there too).

Oh that is for sure. People love to show hate towards Grass Pokémon... Now that I think, Grass is even more under-appreciated than Bug, at least competitively. There are a lot of usable Bug Pokémon, like Scizor, Forretress, Escavalier, Volcarona, Escavalier, Ninjask, Durant, Vespiquen, Accelgor... Grass, well, not that much.

Regarding Poison, yeah, besides Croagunk and Drapion, there is Skuntank who is pretty decent. Garbodor isn't that bad too. ^^
Venomoth is also way better now with Quiver Dance. But the type still need lots of improvements. :/

Dark types are also quite rare, and not exactly the most appreciated either, except for immunity to Psychic :3

They aren't very used in competitive teams, but I always see people saying that "Dark is my favorite type", "Dark rules", etc. I don't think it is -that- unpopular. In fact, it is one of the types with most votes on the "what is your favorite type" pool on bulbagarden forums. If I had to classify the types by over- and under-appreciated, it would be like this:

Over:

- Fire
- Dragon
- Ground
- Ice
- Electric
- Steel

Under:

- Bug
- Rock
- Poison
- Flying
- Normal (I love normal ._.)
- Psychic (it was veeeeery popular once, but now a lot of people hate the type, due to it being very overused in legendaries... etc)

I think Dark and Ghost are 'so-so', some people like, some don't...

Also, nobody seems to like Chikorita. :'(

Well... I like Hoppip, if that counts :P shiny Jumpluf is gorgeous :')

[Agonist]

Ice types are overrated? Since when?

[Sara Hysaro]

Bugs are awesome. One of my favorite Pokémon back in Gold was a Ledian. For some reason I remember it kicking butt. Probably due to level. Another favorite of mine from those days was Girafarig. "Psychic, Crunch, Thunderbolt, Earthquake? Awesome!" said the younger me. My interest in bugs kinda waned in the 3rd gen, but the 4th gen brought it right back.

I tend to like a lot of Pokémon people don't care for. Sometimes I watch a Let's Play of a Pokémon game and frown a bit when the LPer says, "It's not very good; I wouldn't recommend it to anyone." Any team can work out ingame, so advising people to stay away from a Pokémon is silly.

Edit; I love grass types too. Well, not so much the type as the Pokémon that have the type, but still. Grass types are something I like including in my teams.

[Nyarlathotep]

Ice types are overrated? Since when?

Since when everybody and their mothers like them? Just go to the favorite thread, lots of people like it. I feel like I am the only person in the world to have it as the least favorite type.
And trust me, I love cold forecast, but I don't appreciate the overly white designs of Ice-Type Pokémon. Plus, they can't take hitssss, I like 'sturdy' and 'bulky' Pokémon.

Have in mind that I didn't say overrated, but over-appreciated. And that it doesn't mean that the type is 'awesome'... Fire isn't, for example...

I rarely hear or see anyone appreciating Ice-types, in fact, it's almost always everyone moaning about how it's such a bad type.

As for it not being able to take hits, there are Ice-types that can take hits plenty well, look at Walrein for example. And obviously Ice-types tend to have "overly white designs", it's the same with fire types, and their overly red designs, or grass types with overly green designs.

Oh not this. I adore Grass Types, and they are a vital member of each teams. I hate the fact that people only look at their statistics and strength, instead of just going with them if you like them

Regarding Poison, yeah, besides Croagunk and Drapion, there is Skuntank who is pretty decent. Garbodor isn't that bad too. ^^
Venomoth is also way better now with Quiver Dance. But the type still need lots of improvements. :/

Drapion and Croagunk were the cream of the crop (bad pun), though Venomoth and a few other poisons are good too. (eg. Foongus)

The shiny Jumpluff is so true.

Though my view of over/under used isa slightly different thogu.


Over
Fire
Water
Dragon
Ice
Electric
Steel
Ground


Under
Grass
Bug
Psychic
Dark
Ghost
Normal
Flying
Poison
Rock

... Yeah.

Ice types are overrated? Since when?

Since everyone uses them and says they're thier favorite type (granted, I'm one of them)
