Mmmmh better with a page break and remaining pokes list:
45 - It's a female-looking pokémon (this is actually a good hint, there are like 4 or 5 still in right?) 44 - It sets up Torkoal's failure in one of Ash's Ever Grande Conference's matches. (Be thankful that I added when, imagine having to seek through all of Torkoal's failures). 43 - It lacks an option for when it gets windy in a desert.
45- Misdreavus - 5, or 7 if you count Lilligant and Dragonair who look feminine 44- Tropius - Yeah, looking through all of Torkoal's failures would've taken an eon. 43- Castboobs
At one point, Lilligant was my favorite B/W pokémon. See, when a new generation is revealed, I usually take the time to make first-impression sharp comments about awful-looking stuff with friends, even pokémon who I end up liking eventually like Sigilyph. This is when Munna becomes a sofa with a floral pattern or Tynamo... well, use your imagination.
For Gen V, Lilligant was one of the very few pokémon that I liked from the very beginning, and indeed the one that I liked the most for a very short period of time. The first time I ranked all 649 pokémon, it peaked at around #61 or so.
Then, I don't know. Maybe I just started liking other pokémon better or maybe I was just very disappointed after using it (I get that Quiver Dance+Own Tempo+Petal Dance is pretty awesome, it's less awesome when that's basically all you can do), but Lilligant just didn't catch my attention as much as it used to.
I mean, I still love it and its elegant design, it just went from "Top of the World tier" to "Almost There tier". A year or so ago, Lilligant would've been around #24 on this list.
Still, I have to give props to whoever drew it, because I think that Lilligant is really creative, stylish and beautiful. Much, much better than Derpsicott.

Tynamo is sperm, which contains a huge number of spermawhateveryoucallthem (Tympoles) who try to fecondate an egg. Only one Tympole survives and carries the genetical data of the father.
No but seriously it took this long. I understand that you don't have an Onix but geeeez.

First, I love Venomoth. Unlike say, Mothim or even a pokémon that I like more like Masquerain, it actually sounds and looks like something that "might" be dangerous, and I sure as hell like my fully evolved pokémon to be smoothly lethal.
But my obvious comparison to Venomoth is not another moth, it's Butterfree.
If I had to be subjectively objective about Venomoth, it is better than Butterfree. Better design, better in battle and you can bet it has a better name (Venomous moth vs a free butter, yeah, tough competition).
This is when nostalgia kicks in though. Butterfree was one of the "original six" (the original six pokémon Ash had and that everyone loved). Since I always start R/B/Y/FR/LG with Charmander, I know that I will need Butterfree to cover my ass against Brock (Well, in Yellow I could use Mankey, but I don't like Mankey), so I have used it almost in every playthrough. Butterfree is cute, has a cute cry, has a cute everything. I'm usually even when it comes to cute vs badass, but in this case... Butterfree's cuteness just does it for me more than Venomoth's badassness (is that a usable word?) does, and believe me when I say that Venomoth is truly a badass.
Unlike Butterfree, I have nothing memorable to share about Venomoth except that, by Pokémon anime logic, I discovered that you can't gust away its spores.
I still love my Venomous Moth pokémon though. Silently, venomously lethal.

Gen III sure had a lot of gimmick pokémon. But, you know what? I actually like gimmicks most of the time, especially cool ones that involve changing forms or unique attacks and characteristics.
It's so sad that Castform doesn't have better stats, it would've been quite fun to use had it had viable stats in some way. Weather Ball also seems like a fun move, changing type according to the weather and stuff, should've stayed its signature move, giving it to any other pokémon doesn't really make sense.
Castform is probably one of those guys who would also need at least two extra moveslots to reach its full fun potential.
Oh, Castform forms:
HIGHFIVE SUN FIRE FORM:
...If you had six fingers, of course. Not a big fan of it, but still cute regardless.
NOW GENESISSAGA WHERE ARE THE BOOBS? WHERE? Can't see them, NO BOOBS. Get your... anatomy right for once, dammit! Raindrop form is my second-favorite, kind of gives it a cool hairdo.
SMALL TORNADO OF AWESOME ICE FORM:
BEST FORM. Ice Castform is SO cool, this cute little tornado that forms around our hero is just so neat. Once again, NO BOOBS you pervs. I can't fathom how anyone would not find Ice Castform awesome, I really can't.
Well I wish I could have more to say about Castform, but I've never used one because without more moveslots it would just be an inferior... anything. I still love its changing forms in the weather. I know that Sandstorms aren't exactly a weather condition, but it would've been nice to give Castform a Sand form, if only because Weather Ball actually changes type in a Sandstorm.
