Persian was top tier in Gen I, at least.

That always seems to happen with "forgettable" monsters. Dunsparce keeps showing up as people's faves, Furret is having its time in the meme sun and Maractus is being adored for showing up in Sword and Shield trailers.

Honestly with some of the bullshit that happens in the Anime a really strong Rattata isn't that far-fetched.

The actual most forgettable 'mons are probably Chingling, Basculin, Morelull/Shiinotic, and Burmy/Wormadam/Mothim.

Yeah the most forgettable Pokemon has to be something like Nupentin. You never see it mentioned in these discussions

there are, I have been repeatedly informed, elemental monkeys (???) from some generation, maybe the sixth? fourth? I'm pretty sure people are messing with me, Game Freak wouldn't make three nearly identical monkey Pokemon that suck. they wouldn't do that. because that wouldn't make sense.


but seriously, folks, let's take a moment to appreciate a great, under-loved Pokemon.

I pronounce it "Ratatattattattat and that's the way it is" in full in reverence to the master Tupac whose posthumous single Changes came out the same month as the original Pokemon games

I laughed at these because I assume they're all blood pressure meds. And if they're not, I guess I just laughed at the idea of a joke, which is just as good.

Also I once found a "name every Pokemon" game that didn't have a timer, and it turns out the most forgettable Pokemon is just under half of them.

Yeah, you'll find multiple quizzes online that are "Is it a Pokemon or a prescription drug?" They aren't hard for a Pokemon connoisseur, but you'll still pause a second at Duosion.
