Today we're looking at the human-like egg group (formerly known as humanshape), specifically the 3-stage lines there. These pokemon are all bipedal and are considered to resemble humans in some way, you may quibble with some categorisations or absences here but take it up with Game Freak!
Note that a few pokemon aren't here today because they were in the baby poll, but their evolutions will be present tomorrow. Also starters will be in their own polls so no Chimchar or Scorbunny.

Ralts is my favorite of these. Second is probably Abra or Impidimp with Machop in 4th. I dont like the Timburr or Gothita lines at all.

Abra doesn't feel like he belongs here but he gets the easy vote among this bunch.

Abra > Ralts I guess > Impidimp > Machop > Timburr >>>>> Gothita

Gothita is truly one of the most horrifying things they ever created. Gothic lolita Smoochum was never in my bingo card.

The imp line is severely underrated imo

I'm not really a fan of any of these base forms.

Timburr > Machop > Abra > Impidimp > Ralts >> Gothita

Abra is the only one of these I really like. That'll change tomorrow though.

Gothita might be a bottom 5 Pokmon.

Timburr > Abra > Ralts > Impidimp > Machop > Gothita

this is certainly an 'interesting' group

I don't really like any of these. Gothita is another one in my bottom ten (did they really need to make a lolita Pokemon?). Machop is probably the pick of the bunch, with Ralts close behind. Impidimp is also really ugly, along with the rest of its line. "Pokemon holding objects" is not my favourite category, but it feels like it's becoming increasingly common in recent generations.

Machop > Ralts >> Abra > Gurdurr >> Impidimp >>>>>>>>> Gothita

Abra is so good

Gothita is so cute!

Not sure why people don't like it.

just wait two days

Timburr is one of the overall best NFEs. The rest of these are meh except Gothita which is actually ugly.

Timburr's great, it's their evolutions I hate.

Yeah I think Timburr is the best of its line, and Impidimp is p decent. Not bothered about the rest, this isn't my fav grouping. Evolutions are better though for most.

Abra is fantastic.

The rest are trash. I guess Machop is okay.

Abra > Machop > Ralts > Impidimp > Timburr > Gothita

Timmburr would move up a few spots without the gross vein on its head (though it's a lot better than its evolutions)

For some reason it never registered with me that the thing on Timburr's head is a pulsating vein. Glad I didn't vote for it now >_>

Unlike my opinion on pretty much everything else in this regard, I feel like this is something the first generation did best and the fifth did worst.

That said, I voted Ralts because it is a cutie patootie

Ralts because it's adorable. Abra is also pretty good and really useful, but can be a headache to catch. I got flashbacks trying to catch it in Pokemon Blue and it keeps teleporting away even though it's somewhat rare already. >_>

Timburr and Machop are okay. Impidimp is kinda disturbing but at least it's on purpose. Unlike Gothita.

Huh. I was wondering why I ended up voting Timburr.

Because it looks like Chip ('n Dale).

up

Some of these sure are more human-like than others. I don't think Abra should be here, Kadabra definitely not.
