Wouldn't you say I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?

Hmmm...

It would be cool to know who would place the lowest among Rhyturdier, Magmorturd, and Turdurrrrr (aka Gurdurr)

Since Gen is the only one who posted, she gets three more unranked write-ups ^_^.

I thought you wanted to finish this within the month

105.1 - HURR DURR
CAN'T UNSEE PIC: external image

At Game Freak, they MUST have tried to design this pokémon (or this entire line) to look awful, because that's the only way I could understand how GurDURR ended up looking this bad. I mean, I know that it carries a girder but I'm pretty sure that they weren't designing it based on costruction workers because they usually have well-defined muscles a- *checks bulbapedia*... they, actually did. Costruction workers all around the world should SUE this joke company ASAP.

Look at it: external image

Let's go past the Magby-like head tumor, past the hideous veins (SERIOUSLY HOW GROSS IS THAT), past the clown nose. What I want to focus is the body. The Pokédex keeps repeating how it is muscular and loves to show off its body.
In other words, they're trying to make me believe that, by pokemon standards, this:

external image

Is equal to this:

external image

To me, it seems more like Machoke is the hot fit guy that gets all the tail while Gurdurr is the friend who is irreparably ugly as sin and tries way too hard to overcome its deficiency by going to the gym but WITHOUT KNOWING that pumping up the upper body without the rest will eventually make you look like Johnny Bravo minus the bucket face (which is still 1000x hotter than Gurdurr).
This is obviously less offensive than the creeping veins. I don't even want to get there, seriously, no.

I think that Gurdurr might as well be the most hideous pokémon ever made. It has some stiff competition though, for example...

105.2 - MAGROTFLTAR
Why are you smiling you look like s**t pic: external image

I mean, really.

People are all "YEAH but it has cannon arms!". Do you, bunch of savages, realize that this thing can't do ANYTHING with its hands? Can't hold the phone, can't hold a glass, can't hold a pen, can't play videogames, can't m*sturbate (p.s. DO YOU MODS REALIZE THAT I'M HAVING TO CENSORE THAT? JESUS CHRIST)... DO YOU?

For what? I mean, it's basically a fire egg with limbs. It's not even as hilarious as lolmagmar because most of the things that made lolmagmar grotesque and worth insulting are gone. Headboobs and horns? Replaced with a generic flame-but-not-really hairdo. Duckface? No, but it manages to look even worse without doing it, a Magrotfltar putting its lips in the "culo di gallina" position would easily earn its spot as the worst pokémon ever (as if it wasn't close enough as it is).

ITS THIGHS ARE PINK, F***ING PINK, WHY? NOW EXPLAIN IT TO ME, WHY? DID YOU SMOKE A F***ING ROCKET TO PUT PINK THIGHS WHERE THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T BELONG?

...

external image

...ARE YOU STUPID C***S F***ING KIDDING ME?

I RAGEQUIT THIS WRITE-UP BECAUSE THIS POKéMON IS WAY TOO STUPID TO EXIST.

105.3 - RHYTURDIOR
Flush it pic: external image

Oooookay.

Did you see Magrotfltar? You can tell that it evolved from lolmagmar as they're actually similar (and both look like crap).
Now, someone expain to me how you go from this badass:

external image

To this s**t:

external image

If I didn't know, I wouldn't want to believe that Rhydon evolved into that thing.

I will list every single thing that went wrong:

- Brown and Orange are NEVER a good combination. I'm not a fashionist and I have enough sense to understand that. They NEVER go well together unless you're like, super hot and you can draw the attention away from what you're wearing.

- Rhydon had the perfect body build. Rhyperior suddenly becomes fat, has tiny legs and looks as if a whole building had crushed on it, since the horn is now some 45° downwards compared to before.

-The tail. Why does Rhyperior's tail have ANOTHER solidified turd attached to it? Rhydon's tail was awesome.

- Murdering Geodudes is not cool. I don't care what you think about Geodude, it doesn't deserve this.

I don't even want to hear the "Rhydon was being left behind competitively" (XIII) arguement for three incontrovertible reasons:

1- Rhydon hasn't been good since Gen I, and the same applies for Golem. Aside from the fact that neither of them are exactly bad either, Golem was possibly slightly worse than Rhydon. What do you do, do you evolve Golem/give Graveler another evolution just so it can hope to be viable again? High level pokémon multiplayer only has a few select guys who can compete, deal with it.

2- The statistical buffs to Rhyperior are honestly insignificant. You could've slapped Solid Rock on Rhydon and it would've been almost the same.

3- Rhyperior still sucks.

I think that, after all this clear evidence, we can all agree that Rhyperior is a pointless, horrible, gross and unlikeable pokémon and that it should've never existed.

Oh right, it also looks like a turd and, if you still don't believe it, look at its shiny form which looks like the turd of a person with stomach problems/who is sick:

external image

Literally GameFreak providing evidence to its relation to excrements.

#30 - ARCANINE
Nominated by: GenesisSaga
RAWR! pic: external image

RAWR!

Arcanine is all big, strong, fluffy and awesome. Back when there were only 151 pokémon, it was also known as the only non-legendary legendary (Remember when he was in this photo with his buddies Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno? external image it's always good to have some V.I.P. friends), but that became less and less important as the series moved on.

As I'm told, Arcanine is a "mixture" between three animals: the lion, the tiger and the dog. Now that I look at it, I recall calling it all three of those at some point and it definitely looks like all three of them a bit.

Arcanine is a complete badass. I used to have Blue, so I couldn't use it then, but it has always been one of the most fun and useful Fire types to use IMO. Even competitively, it has a lot of useful and versatile options and they keep adding more with every generation, it's easily the best pure Fire-type to use.

In other words, it's Flareon done right. Extremespeed, Wild Charge, Crunch, Close Clombat, Morning Sun and Flare Blitz are only a few of the things that Arcanine can sport and that Flareon can't, despite clearly needing them since Forever.

As I've said multiple times now, I like Growlithe more, but that's more of a puppy thing than anything else. Arcanine is easily the pokémon answer to the Alpha Male though (Alpha Male as in being an excellent example of male, not as in being a jerk to girls or some other bullcrap). It is athletic, respected, strong, good-looking, loyal and has FUR, LOTS OF IT. I'm not a furry, but I'm not a fan of hairless men, not at all, so it kinda fits into the equation.

I think that what holds back my love for Arcanine a bit is my lack of direct experience with it - except for online battles of course, but those don't represent the same as training one. Almost everyone going from here on has some nostalgia tidbit that makes it shine above the others for me, going from awesome anime appearances to direct experience in the games or funny anectodes about them. Considering that Arcanine doesn't have any of those, the fact that he made the top 30 is a clear representation of sheer quality.

...no but seriously I want to ride an Arcanine, that must be the best feeling ever.

#29 - XATU
Nominated by: mcflubbin
inb4 pics: external image

Oh man Xatu, the totem pole bird. It's one of the most colorful and original pokémon in Gen II, easily.

I have a confession to make: when I was 12, I wrote a really bad fanfiction about Pokémon. It featured three incredibly deep protagonists: the generic hero kid, the tag-along girl and the boy with issues and mysterious powers that everyone seeks.
If I had to compare them to someone, they'd be more like Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke than like Ash/Misty/Brock, only more dumb (Yes, more dumb than Sasuke).

The boy with issues catches a Natu that soon evolves into Xatu, the best comes when Xatu basically turns into their personal drug dealer (well, with the benefit of hindsight at least) and trasports them into different dimensions where evil ghosts want to murder Lugia and stuff.

I can't bring myself to unsee the "drug dealer Xatu" mental image ever since.
external image

Oh, I also kind of tried to launch a meme of sorts about it a couple of years ago, substantially forming the verb "to xatu" to replace "to predict", "to anticipate" and similars. Or, just as an alternative to inb4, I would post a Xatu picture instead. It wasn't very good, but I was trying to give some recognition to it I guess.

It used to be a really overlooked pokémon, I'm glad that it got some attention with Magic Bounce, even though it didn't make as much for it as people were thinking would do at the beginning of the B/W metagame.

Xatu is really cool and underrated. One of my favorite birds (and I LOVE birds, I feel that it should be restated) and one of my favorite Psychic types.

Wait maybe it's not clear.

The Xatu simply used its powers to send the heroes into the past or future.

After I grew up, I realized that the whole thing sounded as if the protagonists were on an acid trip or something.

...or maybe as if I was.

#28 - JOLTEON
Nominated by: shadosneko
Shooting fur pic: external image

For some reason, I evolved my first Eevee into a Jolteon and then boxed it because I was already using Raichu. Jolteon is my 3rd favorite Eeveelution (tied with Flareon) but, unlike Flareon and Vaporeon, I didn't like it from the very beginning. See, too much spiky hair.

In the end though, it grew up on me, spiky hair and all. I mean, thinking about it, he's shooting solidified fur when he uses Pin Missile, cool! They should make a signature move for Jolteon that uses its ability to shoot electrified needles, something like an Electric Rock Blast in terms of mechanics and power. Actually, they should make signature moves for all the Eeveelution, so that there was actually a reason to use them all (Hello Flareon!).

Jolteon is also a great asset to any team, being the only Eeveelution who's both fast and powerful (Well, Espeon and Leafeon are to an extent, but Jolteon rocks the boat with its supreme speed, I love fast pokémon). JoltWak (Jolteon + Marowak) was a combination that I used with my OU GSC team, that's when I realized how awesome Jolteon was.

I don't have much to say about Jolteon otherwise, it's just one of those obviously popular pokes whose fame is actually very well-deserved.

#27 - SKARMORY
Nominated by: _Regaro_
Whirlybird pic: external image

Competitively, Skarmory is the prime example of how an excellent typing and a single good stat can give a pokémon an enormous edge that its own creators probably didn't intend to have.

All things point out that Skarmory was probably meant to be one of those single-evolution pokémon that people don't usually care much for, like Stantler or its own Special counterpart Mantine. Look at Skarmory, it's been at the very top of the metagame for four generations now, at one point also considered worth banning if paired with GSC's other defensive wall, Blissey. I'm sure that lots and lots of people out there hate Skarmory for what it represents.

Let's put aside the competitive talk though, because Skarmory is a 360 degrees cool guy. If you've noticed something about my taste, I like both birds and armored things. Bingo!

As if it wasn't already cool enough, Skarmory's feathers double as swords, it can swing its wings and cut stuff as if they were swords. I think I've mentioned liking this kind of aspect too before, for Emperor Napoleon. The big advantage that Skarmory has over the Emperor for me is the fact that it can, uh, actually fly with these wings.

It's an overall excellently designed pokémon, with a great concept and who, casually IMO, ended up being a battle monster.

...On a negative side, it's also one of those exceptionally cool GSC shiny sprites who turned into crap in the later generations:

#26 - ELECTABUZZ
Nominated by: SpeedYoshi
Ellllblblblbllblblll pic: external image



Whoever dubbed its cry, I love you. With all my heart.

Now, if I had to make a list of the pokémon who get the most nostalgia for me, Electabuzz would probably be in the top 10.

Back in the GSC days, I raised one all the way to level 100 and it became part of my main team. Electabuzz was my favorite Electric type to use by far, because it had something that the others didn't have, even better ones like Raikou and Zapdos: it was versatile. By versatile, I mean that it could face both Blissey and Skarmory semi-reliably.

DAT CROSS CHOP was its selling point, and it could also have Psychic, Ice Punch, Screens, Thunder Wave, Fire Punch. Electabuzz might not be a monster statistically, but with similar stats it could do much more than the likes of Raichu and Magneton. Actually, I'll go as far as saying that no Electric type that wasn't Zapdos, Raikou or Jolteon could compete with it.

Yeah, my infatuation with Electabuzz was, weirdly enough, never a design thing. I don't dislike its design, but I've grown to like it more because of how much I loved Buzz in my game.

Holding it so dear, I was honestly pretty mad when I discovered that Gen IV gave it an evolution. It wasn't only one of those "Yeah, it didn't exactly need it" complaints, to see my Buzz mate evolve into something as ugly as Electivire was honestly one of the most raging experiences about Pokémon for me.

I... hate Electivire less now. I still despise it, and if I used an Electabuzz in one of the post Gen III games I would honestly just ignore that it exists, but I don't hate it as much as I hate, say, Rhyperior or Magmortar now. How anyone could actually LIKE it is still beyond me though.

I also kind of recognize now that Electabuzz is more a thing of the past than anything, but it will always have my approval regardless.

Can't believe Joltik is still in this!

But perhaps it's because of your love of bananas, him being yellow as well?

I have fond memories of using Electabuzz and Skarmory on NetBattle. Also Sneasel, Zangoose, Snorlax, Suicune, Umbreon... I'm partial to physical attackers.

I do LOVE Buzz, Gen, but notice how I save it after Joltik, Galvantula, Zebstrika and Lanturn.

I mean, take a hint :P.

Yeah, Buzz and Skarmory are both up here because of the fond battle memories that I have about them. Electabuzz more though because I actually raised one in the games.

Oh man Pokémon Snap, I'm surprised that I didn't mention it more (except for the lolmagmar write-up), I must be one of the Snap's biggest fans.

Yeah, I loved throwing pester balls at Buzz just to piss him off.
And the dumb dance that they do when electricity is back, d'awwww.

#25 - QUILAVA
Nominated by: shadosneko
IDK pic: external image
Man so awesome it literally deserves two: external image

I love how my taste in pokémon can still shift and change so much even after all these years. Just a year ago, I would've said that Quilava was my least favorite of its line. Granted, I like all three so saying such a thing about the Cyndaquil line for me is like saying that I prefer Pizza to Sushi and Florentine steak, but still. My Quilava... uh... not-liking-as-much was probably also reminiscent of how much of a hard time I usually had raising it until it learned Flamethrower like, two levels before evolving.

Then, last year, an illumination: Ash's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava and it just happened to be the cutest badass ever, with a slender body and and an adorable cry. I don't know why I hadn't put attention to all of this before, maybe because I didn't really pay much attention to middle evos then, but I suddenly loved Quilava and it's been my favorite of its line ever since.

The best aspect about Quilava IMO is that its flames are placed better on its body compared to the other two. The one on the head in particular looks so cool, forming an awesome crest when it's on. It's better than Typh's collar or Quil's single group of flames on the back. Quilava also looks the best when the flames are off.

It's also interesting to note how my favorites of Gen II starters are basically:

Totodile
Quilava
Meganium

If Smash will ever feature a GSC Pokémon Trainer, THAT has to be the line-up. The only acceptable change would be Bayleef/Typhlosion I guess.

Chikorita
Quilava
Feraligatr

imo

Cyndaquil
Bayleef
Feraligatr

also works

And

Totodile
Bayleef
Typhlosion

is the third best alternative.

No Derpganium. Never.

#24 - GOTHITELLE
Nominated by: Anagram
Goth tower pic: external image

My liking for Gothitelle is basically a testimony of how much of an ass I can be. I mean, I'm really good at heart, but honestly I can be a bit of a jerk at times.

Even though, you know, I think all of us have had someone who we would just make fun of in high school with friends, for the hell of it. This happened to be the case with this girl who was a classmate of mine, except that at one point she became a recurring joke even with the guys I play videogames with, who didn't even know her except for her incredible deeds and her Facebook photographs. She was basically an attention whore who would be a hippie on monday, a goth on tuesday (her most remarkable phase), a kawaii poser on wednesday and so on. I'm not even kidding.

See, the very day Gothitelle was revealed, I contacted all my friends and told them: "It's her!" (by her surname). We don't even call Gothitelle by its real name, we call it by the girl's surname. Same for Rachel Alucard in Blazblue.

Some of her most important achievements include (and it's the tip of the iceberg really, to keep this short):
- Telling everyone in class that her cat spoke to her before it died.
- Buying a purse with the shape of a coffin.
- She once came to me after an oral test had gone wrong and told me "Stop it! I feel other people's pain and it makes me sad!".
- On her blog, she once posted about how she would curse a guy by not allowing him to go to the afterlife. I don't remember why she wrote that, but we refer to these curses as "macumbas" now.
- Her most notable quote, as written on her blog, translated: "Yes, I'm becoming a gothic lolita, so what? I'd rather wear puffy skirts and ribbons instead of "I-leave-no-room-to-imagination" dresses!".

I've also been told, years later, that she was actually uh... interested in me. I had kind of noticed and it bothered me, especially since she took my mp3-player from my pocket once just to catch my attention. When I noticed, I called her and she answered... not "Hello", "not "Hi"... she said "Yes, I have it". There are sacred things in my life and my music player happens to be one of them, if I wake up one day and my player is out of charge and I don't have the time to charge it, that's an awful day starting up for me. You can imagine how I felt about her after that, she was really looking for trouble.

Luckily, she stopped the day I told her that I'm not interested in girls. That way, she could just focus on my two other classmates because for some reason she thought it was fun to tease them.

It's not that I don't like Gothitelle aside from that, I mean I LOVE most humanoid female pokémon and Gothitelle is no exception, but everything goth I quickly relate to her, and this made Gothitelle much more hilarious in my eyes.
Besides, her and Gothorita get way too much hate for absolutely no reason, they're parodistic goth b*****s full of swag, what's not to like? One of my friends came to me once and literally told me: "the b***h even tells you when you will die!", so yeah, don't hate on her or your soul will be trapped in limbo forever.
