Okay so what's the worst one. Design, combat potential, sheer unlikeability, where we at

I think the swathe of elemental monkeys in gen 5 are probably the bottom of the barrel, but the worst one for me has to be Goodra.

Not because I hate the design, it's still a big slimy lovable loser and that's all cool, but Goomy and Sliggoo are both absolutely perfect angels, and their evolution is just so middling by comparison and it makes me sad. :(

That's literally what it does yeah. That's the joke.

Yeah I don't know anything about Pokemon so I assumed that after about 200 or so they came up with names by jamming syllables together. I just couldn't believe there'd be one that's a fish that needs a night guard.

the elemental monkeys are just boring theyre not like the real f tier pokemon. but theres also a shockingly low miss rate on the designs considering theres 1000 of them tbh

It’s growing at an exponential rate, much like the pokedex. Luckily, gamefreak is warcrimishly culling it of all our faves as we speak.

Look at this loving thing



Pokemon are obviously not realistic but one of its strengths is that they're USUALLY more realistic than say Yo-Kai Watch, the ones that are supposed to look like animals generally do look like fairly plausible animals beyond like the wreaths of flame and poo poo. Not this thing though,

eh it looks enough like a turtle to me. but we already have a blue turtle pokemon so I feel like they could have made it more distinct

My team growing up was always Jolteon, Alakazam, Machamp, Starmie, Vileplume and Gengar in addition to a rotating cast of legendaries and Charizard

Jolteon was the best of the original 3 eevees because he learned Lightning, Bug and Fighting attacks but I also liked Vaporeon a lot. Flareon did nothing for me
