the ice cream cone is good, bitches. here's a shiny Poipole code, if you claim it you have to tell me what pokemon you love that the majority of people consider ugly/dumb looking/useless

Not claiming the code but I've had a kinship with Typhlosion since Gold/Silver launched. I love that it's monotype fire so it doesn't have any weird weaknesses (or x4 weaknesses), it's just a shame it suffers from the same treatment that all fire pokemon were given pre-Gen 3.

Also not claiming the code, but I loving love Klefki. It's just a pair of keys I LOVE IT. Also it's fairy type so it's super effective against loving DRAGONS so being able to beat the poo poo out of dragons with a bunch of door and car keys rules. Also one of my fondest Pokemon memories was basically one shotting the Mega Gyrados in X & Y with my car keys

When I was a kid and played Gold/Silver I always made sure to get a Mareep and never evolved it. He was best friend with Totodile because they are both loving cute :3.

It's a heinous crime that both of them evolve into progressively more ugly Pokemon.

Fortunately Mega Evolution partially fixes the dumpster trash that is Ampharos, but Feraligatr will forever remain garbage

Get bashed, platonist!

I don’t want the code, but I’d have to say Unown is my pick. Everyone loves an underdog, and Unown is the ultimate underdog because it is The Pokemon That Gamefreak Forgot. There have been several attempts to bring lesser-known and lesser-used Gen 1 Pokemon back into relevance, but Unown keeps getting passed over. There are plenty of bad pokemon out there, but almost every pokemon has some way that you can minmax its stats and give it a specialized moveset to at least make it decent at doing one thing. Unown is just unplayably bad. I’m hopeful that someday it will get its day.

My favourite useless mon is definitely shellos, the only! sea slug we've gotten, a true beautiful friend from under the ocean. It's not as pretty as a real one, but I love that it exists.

unown hasn't been forgotten lol, it's entire design is to be a special mon to collect. not every pokemon is meant to be "good"

But I want it to be good. No, not even good, just usable. Right now unown might as well be an item because actually fighting with one is so unenjoyable that you just put it in your box and forget about it. I want to take one with me on my adventure.

Give Unown a hidden ability that turns Hidden Power into a base 150 power move. You unlock the hidden ability by catching all 28 forms.

how can you not love klefki? it's not a bunch of keys it's a mischievous key ring shaped sprite that loves key so much it goes around stealing them then you catch it and go gently caress up dragons together

So, finally beat the Elite Four and Hau on the Ghost Run.

Thoughts:
-Dark owned everyone but Palosand and Mimikyu (beefy and 1x damage respectively). I would have to game sucker punch mons either by switchouts, non-damaging moves, or items.
-Deciudeye can sometimes tank it, usually not if it's STAB'd, also one of the more useful mons in the run so far.
-Haunter was more or less useless except against Team Skull, and would get one shot by practically everything. Not sure if Gengar would solve those issues either, it was super squishy.
-Orichiro was ok, not as big of a dead weight as Haunter.
-Marowak was a champ. A bit squishy but did work against a lot of mons. Surprisingly my only mon without a ghost move on it.
-Mimikyu did work as well.
-Palosand was a damage sponge.

So yeah, it was fun and interesting, and challenging because all but one had a shared weakness. Rainbow Rocket is going to be a giant pain in the rear end, I bet.

Your memory is lying to you, it's conflating multiple things like the honeycomb from Banjo-Kazooie, Unown, Ditto and others that this new mon resembles and making you think you've seen it before. Fake déjà vu.
