Gonna take this b***h all the way to the top 20 today.

#23 - TOTODILE
Nominated by: Great_Paul (Last one for you Paul, thanks for playing!)
Tototototootototodile pic: external image

Tototototototodile! Man, I love this little punk! It's such a shame that its evolutions are so lame, otherwise, this would easily be one of the best Water starter lines.
I mean, really: external image
If you can't see the gap there, I don't even know what to tell you.

Ash's Totodile in particular was fantastic, jumping around and biting stuff for the sake of it, Tototototototodilee! It always looked super happy, should've been given more attention IMO, at least as much attention as Cyndaquil and Bayleef.

I think this is pretty unexpected, but Totodile is easily my favorite out of the base Johto starters. I love all three of them, but Totodile is just the right kind of badass, it's basically the only Johto starter who was almost able to be as good as the Kanto counterpart in the anime (and Squirtle was on a tier of its own already, more on that after the break).

Totodile is one of those guys who's mostly about anime coolness and nostalgia for me, which is a big part of my love for a lot of pokémon (Buizel being the prime example). Ash's water pokémon are usually the best and most badass for some reason: Squirtle, Oshawott, Buizel and Totodile are all easily among his most enjoyable team members.

#22 - ABOMASNOW
Nominated by: Kamekguy (Last one for you too, thanks for playing!)
Abominable pic: external image

Snover and Abomasnow have to be the most underrated pokémon ever. Snover is one of the cutest pokémon of all time, and the fact that people can't recognize that baffles me. Abomasnow is also amazing, if only because of Snow Warning: Ice based teams are among the funniest to use and are completely and undeniably fair. It gives Mamoswine, Froslass and Glaceon among the others a whole new way to shine.

Abomasnow is my 2nd favorite Gen IV pokémon (1st is Buizel by far). I'm pretty sure that it's also the last one standing from Gen IV, unless I've been incoherent somewhere, which is unlikely.

I get that Abomasnow is based on both snowy evergreen trees and yetis, an awesome combination for an unique typing, albeit unlucky in the weaknesses department. I now want to see an Abomasnow covered in Christmas decorations, let's see if I can find some fanart regarding that:

external image

Everything went better than expected, it looks so awesome, kind of cute too!

Also, notice what the Pokedex says:

"It whips up blizzards in mountains that are always buried in snow. It IS the abominable snowman".

It f***ing IS the abominable snowman. Abomasnow is a link between the Pokémon world and common fiction haha. It really deserves much, much more respect, it's criminally underrated.

#21 - SWELLOW
Nominated by: mcflubbin (And these are now 3 eliminations in a row).
Swell pic: external image

You were almost there Swellow, almost!

Swellow looks swell indeed. I love the way its "hair" is "combed" backwars like a boss. It is a colorful and big bird, so it gets lots of points from me. It doesn't hurt that Swellow is also surprisingly decent in battle with a Flame/Toxic Orb + Guts + Facade combo. It doesn't even know what "coverage" means, but it hits like an entire row of trucks if your opponent doesn't resist it.

Believe the words of a guy who used a bird team on battle simulators, it was my trustworthy lead.

In Swellow's case, it's also a big selling point the fact that it has my favorite shiny form ever:

Even the anime writers must have thought that it looked completely awesome, as they gave a shiny Swellow to Winona. I spent lots of time trying to breed a shiny Taillow in White, but I don't have nearly as much patience as Anagram does with this kind of stuff, so I just gave up.

In the end, in the grand scheme of things of generic birds, Swellow is very "middle-of-the road". It isn't as cool as Pidgeot, not as unique as Noctowl, not as strong as Staraptor and... well, I guess it has Unfezant beaten at pretty much everything. Still, it has a bit of this and that in all of those departments, and the shiny boost in this case is pretty enormous. I'd go as far as saying that, if I didn't like shiny Swellow so much, it would probably be some 15 spots lower.

I don't even dislike Feraligatr, it's just that its whole competitive story is LOL-worthy.

Meganium much better though.

Ok guys remember when I asked you to predict who would end up in the top 20?

7 of you posted your lists (Gen, mnk, Gerbil, flubbin, ecksgem, 20three and Paul), I'm now posting how many of you guessed these pokémon to end up here:

Ampharos 4
Articuno 6
Beedrill 0
Cacturne 2
Charizard 3
Corsola 3
Dragonair 1
Gengar 5
Golett 2
Joltik 5
Jynx 1
Mew 3
MissingNo. 3
Ninetales 6
Noctowl 4
Pidgeotto 6
Scyther 6
Serperior 4
Squirtle 7
Umbreon 5

Squirtle leads, as all 7 of you guessed it would be here. The least expected is Beedrill with a total of 0 guesses, followed by Jynx and Dragonair with 1, ouch!

I will post scores and stuff when the ranking will be over.

Anyone wanna make bold guesses just for fun? Who will be #20?

You should try again - using the Masuda Method, it's a lot easier.

#20 - MISSINGNO.
Nominated by: _Regaro_ (Glitch lord goes down)
Sixth slot pic: external image

MissingNo. You guys need to realize that this guy is a pop icon, a star. I once put this guy as my Last.fm avatar and people would come to my wall and post all kinds of compliments, MissingNo. is the most sociable bro, always so reliable.

This shape:

external image

Is recognizable everywhere. (Mind you, it could also turn into fossil Kabutops, fossil Aero, a yellow pap and the creepy ass ghost from the Pokémon Tower).

MissingNo. is much, much more popular than all your favorites if they're not named Charizard, Pikachu, Mewtwo or Blastoise. This guy is so iconic that, if you turn your safe search off in Google Images, MISSINGNO. PORN WILL APPEAR, with MissingNo.'s shape and all, and it's f***ing hilarious, what a PIMP.

Yeah, as I've said, I've never even used MissingNo. (I'm almost sure that you couldn't get it on PAL Pokémon games, or something like that), but its whole story and concept is easily one of the coolest things about Pokémon games. Besides, you can't deny that its glitchy design is one of the most charming ones, there are pokémon who were drawn and actually meant to look cool but look like liquefied crap (Infinite list would follow), whereas MissingNo.'s simple look is easy to remember and fresh. Kind of cute, too.

DO you guys realize that you have to thank MissingNo. forever if the best user on this board a.k.a. me is here today? I was following the last Character Battle and me and my friends got excited with MissingNo. being in it, it was unbelievable. I was actively rooting for it when it went up against Niño Bonito, and by actively I mean that I was literally rallying every possible place to try and get MissingNo. to win. Such a shame that it couldn't pull it off.

Anyway, out of curiosity, I clicked on the boards link and got here, around the first part of the match when most of you were QQing because Niño Bonito was getting his ass kicked. I told myself "wowow man, this place looks like it is hilarious! I guess I'll stay for a bit". Now I'm here and I'm pretty sure that all of you couldn't do without me now. Thanks guys, I really *sniff* appreciate it!

#19 - GOLETT
Nominated by: Ytterbium_70 (Wow man, you lasted quite a bit with one left).
Cuteness pic: external image

Awwwww <3. I mean, it's not as cute or awesome as the Skyrocketing Brolurk but man, Golett is so adorable it hurts, I don't know what it is about these two that really does this much for me, but I can't help finding them both adorable. I remember when I saw it in the anime, carrying the camera and stuff, it put Zorua to shame. It didn't just look cute, but also smart and like a great and reliable pal.

Actually, I liked Golett a bit better than Brolurk at first, but after a small bit of time I couldn't deny Golurk's absolute superiority, compared to not just its preevo but also pretty much every pokémon in existence bar very very few.

Actually, when Gen V was released, I didn't really care about either of them, but probably just because I hadn't payed much attention at first. This is probably the reason why I didn't raise one when I first played through White, but I made up for it by breeding and EV training a Golett later.

Oh right, this one was also brought to you by my man James Turner.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/James_Turner

With just Golett, Golurk and Mandy, Gen V would already be better than Gen IV, so thanks again Jamey <3.

Enough chit-chat, time for some Golett adorableness:

Hello there!

#18 - AMPHAROS
Nominated by: ecksgem/Enoch Camas/Honey
Flash pic: external image

The Lighthouse guardian!

Honestly, I don't know why a sheep gets completely sheared as its final form, but I love Ampharos' body shape and the decorations, it looks kind of tribal and cool. I guess it's supposed to resemble a lighthouse more?

I'm very attached to Ampharos, he was part of my first Silver team, when all the ignorant kids in my class were praising their Feralolators and I was the only one with a kickass Meganium. His job was exactly that, to kill the bastards.

Unfortunately, its being a slow Electric type doomed it forever. I hadn't kept up with Amphy since Gen II, looks like its movepool got some nice upgrades in the form of Power Gem and Signal Beam. I bet it still sucks competitively, but at least it gets the job done in the games well enough.

Amphy's subquest in the games can be annoying, surfing in the sea is never fun with all those nasty Tentacools and swimming pervs. It can especially be frustrating when you forget to get the HM04 Strength, because the game doesn't give any hint whatsoever and you need it to beat the Cianwood gym (because blocking the path to the gym leader with rocks isn't already dumb enough and worth reporting to the Pokémon League). You guessed it, you need to cross the sea three times if that's the case. Despite that happening to me more times than I'm willing to admit, I always blamed it on the programmers being jerks instead of Amphy and Jasmine, who I happen to love. Actually, I was thinking about doing a "rank Pokémon cities and gym leaders with one-liners" when I'm done with this, who knows.

Ampharos is also one of the few third-stage pokes who look cute and peaceful. In fact, it looks much cuter like this than when it was a Mareep or a Flaaffy. I'm glad that it gets a lot of love despite that and not being good in battle because it's honestly one of the best Electric types, and there are a lot of good ones.

Also Jasmine the best.

Believe me guys, this list is really stacked in the top half. Amphy is top 50 territory for me, if not top 40. Ampharos and the next 4/5 pokémon are all very close to each other and could switch places based on my mood.

#17 - UMBREON
Nominated by: shadosneko (Very solid picks (even the h POKé gamble), well played).
Sexy pic: external image

Umbreon reminds me of Karen in a black, tight and short dress, Umbreon is sexy, it fits sexy and nocturne women. In fact, we all know that a Bayonetta/Pokemon crossover is coming and Umbreon will be her main pal. I tried searching in Google Images if there was somebody as brilliant as I am and who got the right idea. No. Then I searched "Umbreon crossover" out of curiosity and craploads of porn and MLP crossovers came up. I'm starting to think that a spiky mace up my ass would've been at least 64 times more pleasant.

2nd best Eeveelution right here (1st is Vaporeon by a hair). Compared to Espeon, not only does it have a better connection to the Moon than Espeon does to the Sun, but it's also much more interesting in both battle and design.

In fact, I raised an Umbreon to lvl. 100 in Crystal because I loved its defensive, annoying play. Truth is, "annoyer" might as well be a dead role, with the metagame evolving into something so blatantly offensive nowadays. The slow and frustrating kills obtained through Mean Look shenanigans are among the things that I miss the most about the GSC days though, and there was hardly anyone capable of doing that as well as Umbreon with its solid defenses and a reliable recovery move. It truly was a "dark" pokémon at its finest.

But my love for Umbreon also comes from its appearance. Feline/foxy/whatever pokémon usually look cool by default, but it stands out as one of the best Eeveelutions designs IMO, black suits it and it has simple details that fit well in contrast (unlike Glaceon) and don't make it look too plain (unlike Espeon). The rings might be... well, rings, but consider that they glow under the Moonlight. A small detail that gives a touch of elegance to its sleek body by just being there, without using any move. Better yet? A shiny one will glow blue:

I love all that is mysterious, elegant, sultry and the right amout of creepy. Umbreon fits all of that, it's Gen II at its finest.

#16 - SCYTHER
Nominated by: ecksgem/Enoch Camas/Honey (we ran out of honey, I'm afraid!)
King of scythes pic: external image

There are many, many things that could be said about one of the most badass things ever conceived by a human mind, the King of Scythes (Creepbutops, take notes).

For example, and I say this as a Blue owner, how could anyone even think that Pinsir could make up for even 1/4 of the lack of this handsome devil? Didn't we already get the shaft hard enough by having lolmagmar instead of Buzz? Why did you discriminate Blue this much?

Or, since I promised some more Pokémon Snap love, let's talk about the challenge of taking a good pic of Scyther, after throwing pester balls at random in the grass and hoping to hit it. I've played that game to death and a good Scyther pic is one of the most satisfying things that you could get, it's probably one of the hardest ones to get right and the reward isn't even close to the one for dumb Pikachus raging on a stupid chopped trunk. Now, with the Wii U, I hope that someone will bring Pokémon Snap back because it was possibly the best and most original Pokémon spin-off ever.

external image

(This is good, maybe a bit closer would've been excellent).[/snaplove].

Tracey's Scyther? I'm not a fan of old guys, but it was so heroic I couldn't help but side with it, despite looking a bit too old for my tastes.

I LOVE Scyther, if I'm using one I usually refuse to evolve it, not because I hate Scizor but because Scyther looks so much cooler and is still kind of viable for the most part. Don't forget that Scyther is said to have ninja-like traits. Besides looking great, it is the "original" Double Team user, you don't think of Scyther without thinking of it creating lots of replicas of itself and quickly slicing the enemy in the blink of an eye.

It looks amazing, it does flashy stuff, it has scythes, it has everything... or maybe not?

Sorry Scythe, but I couldn't help finding this one hilarious.

#15 - DRAGONAIR
Nominated by: DoctorBlind
Marvel scales pic: external image

Apparently, only one of you expected Dragonair to make it this far. Weird.

Let me tell you, there probably isn't a line in these games that gets more overall respect from me than the Dratini line. Besides being the original Dragon line, in its tree forms it has everything you could want in a pokémon. Want cuteness? Dratini is one of the cutest things in the PokéWorld, want kickass power? Dragonite looks badass and is plenty powerful. If you, like me, like your pokémon when they're graceful and elegant, look no further than #15 (Well, at least for now).

Dragonair is my favorite out of this excellent line. I love serpentine pokémon, I love blue, I love pokémon with wide movepools, I love classy pokémon, I love headwings. Somehow, Dragonair has all of this, together with this preciously mystique aura that makes it even more charming.

It sure takes a helluva lot of time to raise Dratini into one of these and then into Dragonite, but the sense of fullfillment and satisfaction in the RBY games when they evolve is honestly unlike any other pokémon in the game, for it is much superior.

Such a shame that the dumb guardian from the censored episode had to pull out a stupid gun when the incompetent Jennys in the anime aren't ever seen with one. I'm pretty sure that something as epic as this:

external image

Would've made Dragonair even more popular now.

As seen from that pic, Dragonair is capable of flying, without huge wings or anything, it just does. Pretty rad.

I feel that, with the plethora of dragons that have spawned from new generations, Dragonair has fallen in the background a bit. Sadly, there aren't many dragons that actually match its natural beauty IMO. Call me nostalgic or whatever, there just aren't.

Geeez Gen.

#14 - MEW
Nominated by: DoctorBlind
MEW pic: external image

Let's be completely honest here: design-wise, Mew is nothing worth writing a home about. It's basically a pink, floating cat thing with big eyes and a long tail. Nothing wrong with it of course, it looks very cute but, from this point of view, Mewtwo really looks like an upgraded Mew.

Why so high, then? Let me tell you something: with Mew, nostalgia goggles are not necessary, are mandatory. All of Mew's charm is a one-time thing, you either lived it or didn't.

See, when I say that there are some things about the RBY games that the new games will never be able to catch as successfully again, the concept of the super-secret legendary is one of them.

In the internet era, super-secret legendaries are given through events and other stuff. They don't generate legends and myths anymore, there's not even a mystery aura about them, the game doesn't build up their appearances like the diaries in the Cinnabar Pokémon Mansion did for Mew. In short, they don't even give much thought to this kind of stuff anymore.

Even Celebi, Mew's direct heir, was already much less exciting in every way.

Now, if you were born no later than in the very early nineties like I did, and you got Pokémon Red and Blue as a kid like I did, you probably spent a lot of time trying to get the "Number island" in different places and trying to fish in those messed up water tiles. You probably looked through every single tile in the game searching for Mew. But, most of all, you probably tried to work your way around this:

external image

THE TRUCK.

I'm pressing hard on nostalgia here and I know it, but seriously if you played R/B when you were a kid and this dumb truck isn't one of your fondest memories and one of the first things that pops up in your mind when you think of Mew, then your childhood, pokémon-wise, was a wasted one.

There was a buzz in kindergartens for Mew, and when you finally got one somehow (I got one from a guy and it erased my game like, 2 months later), you could see it in this gloriously mysterious sprite:

external image

(Please don't look at the Green one, it will RUIN your childhood forever).

Or if you, like me, had a N64 Pokémon game (Stadium and Snap in particular p.s. GOD that final Mew level in Snap!), you probably remember how beautiful its spinning model looked:

external image

Yeah I know, this was an entire nostalgic eulogy. Nobody deserves it as much as Mew though, its entire RBY existence was one of the things from the original games that they will never be able to recreate again. The super-secret legendary pokémon magic was born with Mew and died with Mew for me, and I can't rationally put Victini above Mew in my heart, so yeah sue me.

#13 - CORSOLA
Nominated by: mnkboy907 (Thanks mnk for keeping the awful side of your poképinions out of my list!)
Cute coral thing pic: external image

I imagine that Corsola is probably seen by most of you as a "WTF?" pokémon. Well, I can explain my love for Corsola with three statements:

- I love Water pokémon. Water is my favorite type.
- I love Misty. She will always be my favorite female lead, the one who already accomplished something and doesn't feel like a tag-along female newbie to Pokémon who does girly things like contests. She's got an attitude and she uses most of my favorite Water types (Or maybe I should say that she crafted what my taste in Water pokémon is nowadays, hard to tell), it's only natural that she would be leagues above Dawn and May for me (Iris is a bit more like her, minus the Water thing, so I kind of like her more than the others but still doesn't touch Misty).
- I don't know if you guys daydream about being part of fictional universes of your favorite fandoms sometimes. I do this at times, I love using my imagination and creating new universes and plots (I actually wish I had writing skills sometimes), but I also love thinking of me being connected with universes that seem wonderful to me. Be glad that I at least don't write very bad fanfictions about it! Well, not to boast guys but I'm a Water Gym Leader in a small coastal town, and my Corsola kicks lots of ass with its Ancient Power shenanigans. Yeah, my Corsola is in the top percentage of Corsolas. In my free time I'm also part of Luffy's crew.

All of these things make me love Corsola. It's a cute coral reef and it's such a bro that it lets people build houses on top of it. Don't forget that one of the coolest towns in any pokémon game, a.k.a. Pacifidlog Town is built above a large colony of Corsolas.

As for Misty, you know the story, it was probably its best and most reliable pokémon through all of Johto. Well, Staryu and Poliwhirl were around its level, but she used Corsola A LOT, it probably got more action in the 20 episodes after it was caught than Goldeen in the entire time Misty was in Ash's group. It looked so happy and cheerful and it knew a lot of my favorite moves: Mirror Coat, Recover, Bubblebeam, Spike Cannon... these are some of the coolest looking moves in the series. How could you not love it?

I didn't mention shiny Mew in my previous write-up, but Corsola basically has the same color scheme: a blue shiny form and a pink main form. Blue Corsola is so cute, too:

external image

Well, being that my Corsola love relates to some apparently unique opinions (Misty best female lead) and me being a lazy daydreamer, I don't expect most of you to get my love for it or to go back on your tracks and realize how cool it is.

Also, Game Freak, please PLEASE give Corsola the Froslass/Mismagius/Honchkrow treatment as in GIVE IT A COOL AND USEFUL EVOLUTION ktnxbye.

#12 - GENGAR
Nominated by: 20three
Spooky pic: external image

Mah spooky man Gengar! One of the funniest pokémon in every possible way.

I honestly don't even know what I should say about Gengar, everything about it is obvious at this point and there's no way anyone could hate this guy. If you do, please reconsider your life's purpose.

It's not just excellent in battle and one of the few OUs who are actually lots of fun, I love its innate troll ways, ought to be a master of black humor and "unfunny" jokes. Haunter and Gengar are both awesome, and while Haunter may look better as an actual ghost (PROOF: external image found it looking for Gengar pics, man I'm putting this s**t as my wallpaper now), I love Gengar's "chill dude" look more, and this mesmerizing gaze:

external image

I've never raised a Gengar to level 100 just for one reason: When I was around 11 years old, I used to have one, but I gave it to a "friend" of mine to train it in the christmas break. When we returned to school, he didn't want to give it back, so we decided to settle this with a battle and BOOBIEQUEEN made short work of his team. He still didn't want to give it back, so me and my friends organized to take his cartridge during the break and transfer Gengar back into my cartridge. We succeded without him noticing, but the 11 yo dumbass me erased the file without transferring it to the Silver cartridge, so I lost it and decided to give up on having a Gengar. Thinking about it still makes me kind of angry at myself.

I also proudly own this:

external image

Looks so beautiful with the slight transparency.

I love "cool guy" pokémon and Gengar is not just "cool guy" looking, we would also probably share some sense of humor and love scaring people, in many ways it would be my signature pokémon.

Cutest pokémon ever.

I can't find the one where Joltik is on a leaf and it is raining.
Ermine, if you ever read this, please send it to me! I think you were the one who posted it :(.

Joltik is the epitome of cuteness for me. I never saw a pokémon that would make me go all "DAWWWW <3<3<3" like a 10 yo schoolgirl like Joltik does. When it was revealed, I was very intrigued by the typing and the super-accurate Thunder already, but when it showed up in the Chargestone Cave I realized that I absolutely had to have it. It's now a lvl. 81 Galvantula.
