Seeing this thread for the first time now and I want to see what you guys can make of these choices.

:sm/garchomp:

Yeah, I freaking went there. Horrible Shiny, incredibly overhyped thanks to an equally overrated Champion, and it literally stole Flygon's chance at getting a Mega Evolution. They made a man with a Flygon in the remakes of Flygon's own region the one who gives you the Garchompite. Artist's block my a**. They knew d*** well what they were doing. And that's coming from one of the few Pokémon fans I know that hates the mechanic as a whole- imagine if I actually liked generational battle gimmicks...

:sm/typhlosion:

Imagine being nothing more than an overhyped Charizard clone with and then Game Freak saying "F*** You" and taking away your Shiny form's purple flames for over 20 years. Oh, and in the process they gave you a 3D sprite that looks less intimidating than a newborn child. The end result is a Pokémon who has absolutely no reason for me to like its regular form over the Hisuian Form anymore. Thank Arceus that Hisui fixed almost all of those issues.

:sm/kingdra:

Most newer fans won't get to understand just how much of a pain in the a** this demon was to face in the days before Fairy-Types existed. We're talking a perfectly fine Pokémon ruined by the ridiculous decision to have not one, but two eighth-tier Gym Leaders and an Elite Four member use it as arguably their best Pokémon in games where its only weakness was other Dragon-Types. In the process, Trainers have to put up with unresisted STAB combinations and moves that drop your accuracy, raise Kingdra's evasion, or even heal all of its health and status back in a single turn with no drawbacks thanks to its Chesto Berry.

We decide to appreciate it BECAUSE it's undervalued.

Also IMO hating Garchomp for the fact that Mega Flygon was removed doesn't exactly seem fair. Same deal with people who hate Mega Audino because Pokémon like Hydreigon could have been the lucky ones.

alright, alright ill get on with it. just know i cant get to EVERYONE rn.

Gumshoos, Throh and Sawk
Yknow I like the whole detective theme of Gumshoos, and its licked back hair and what looks like a trench coat really helps with the vibe. Honestly, who really cares if he looks like that Donald fella? I sure as hell don't.:totodiLUL:

Now, for Throh and Swak, those guys are the REAL DEAL when it comes to fighting-types. Now, a lot of people will say that they're just carbon copies of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, but those suckers can eat their hearts out. Sawk and Throh are KARATE specialists, straight outta the average Fighting Dojo, and WAY better to boot. They're full-on black belt masters! Where's the Hitmons' black belt? It's probably because they FLUNKED OUT.:trode:

I could gas up Ledian myself, but I wanna see what you come up with.
Isn't it just the cutest? It's like a little Power Ranger! Sure, it ain't no battle-bruisin, ball-bustin world-champion pokemon or anything, but I think that sometimes, a pokemon can just be a darling little ladybug. And in that competition, Ledian is second to none.
Beldum and Unown.
Beldum's a cute little claw, isn't it? Look at it, like some sort of alien technology, which probably sums up a lot of Steel-types. Did you know its blood is magnetic? That sounds so ridiculous that it loops around to being cool again. Did we mention its rite of passage upon encountering it? It has a low catch rate and knows a Recoil move, so when you catch it, you're sure as hell gonna be worthy of the mega wrecking ball that is METAGROSS. Enjoy your weapon of destruction, you've earned it. :mehowth:

As for Unown, you really oughta check out what they've got in the movies. They have these things floating around the edges of space while Dialga and Palkia are battling it out!
Something about Sunflora
:xy/sunflora: Cmon LOOK AT HIM! He's joyful as SHIT! You really gonna start hatin on someone havin the time of his LIFE?? You tryin to bring a ray of sun shine down to your state of misery?? It ain't HAPPENING! Not to the likes of YOU!
I’ll be real, there aren’t a lot of Pokémon I don’t like but when searching through the dex I came about Mega Audino, and I thought huh, maybe it it has some small niche in stall with good bulk and regenerator but then you realize mega audino has healer, what the fuck do you want me to do with mega audino
Here's what I want you to do. I want you to switch an Audino in on an ultra-mega-super dangerous Pokemon. Like...CALYREX-SHADOW! Yeah! And then, I want you to sit back and watch the assbeating of the most powerful Pokemon. By an AUDINO. :pip:

Stufful
Bewear
Unovan Stunfisk
Stonjourner
Chewtle
Galarian Rapidash
mucho pokemon. i'll choose stufful. their concepts are funny. on the face of it, they look like cute little bear pokemon. but then you play sun and moon and encounter a stufful. and then it calls for help. and then another stufful appears. do you know what happens next. that's right. THEY WAIL ON EACH OTHER. THIS BEAR POKEMON IS DRIVEN BY SHEER HATRED AND RAGE. IT'S MEANT TO LOOK LIKE A PLUSH, WITH A TAG AND EVERYTHING! THIS IS SATAN IN A PLUSH! honestly? based.

Simisear.

Good luck.
That's easy. If you've chosen Simisear...that means you picked the RIGHT unova starter! the BEST one! yep!
..Huh? Least voted Pokemon? Simisear? Pfft. Simisear doesn't care about your dinky titles. The only people who vote in those polls are dim-witted eyesores glued to their computer seats like glue. only the terminally online would have such horrendous taste that they voted a truly good Unova Pokemon.

Y'know...this sort of posting...is REALLY tedious to do. It makes sense that I'm the hyper supreme around here. I mean, it's not like you guys could hype up Pokemon like... INTELEON. or... SNEASLER. Or even something as horrible as... ENAMORUS. Nope. Definitely not you guys.

There’s a big difference between those two pairs of Pokémon though. In Audino’s case, it needed a Mega much more than something like Hydreigon would have. But in Flygon’s case, it was the already stronger of the two who stole that Mega Evolution slot (gotta keep it at an even 48 total) from something that could have used it more. And there’s still the whole “overrated because of Cynthia” factor too.

first off I did what you said with audino…

and man what a dopamine rush, anybacks back to the original point

inteleon is badass James Bond lookin and the gun shot from the index finger, don’t act like you didn’t do that all the time as a kid and think you were the coolest person ever. Although yes inteleon did go through an emo faze it makes me respect them all the more because they overcame the emo and started kicking ass with an index finger sniper rifle

sneasler is long sneasle enough said

enamourus sucks tho I agree, it’s such a horrible design and the 3d version looks like a 2 year old graphically designed

Inteleon is unironically my favorite starter this gen (and in general!) so this shall be easy! First and foremost, they evolve from what's probably one of the most adorable things ever just look at them
:ss/sobble:
This not only brings positive associations with the mon, but also makes them a little more simpathetic, having gone from a cowardly crybaby to a sleek, confident battler.

Besides. He's a super spy lizard that can turn invisible! (Ok idk if that last part is true but it's a nice headcanon.) What makes that inferior to the ninja frog that everyone loves?

Lastly, using them in playthroughs is just so much fun. Sure, they don't have much positive matchups vs gym leaders, but for generic fights he's AMAZING. Also, she allowed me to beat the ugly rabbit that is cinderace and the poetic finale of her finishing off Leon's charizard, so that was epic too! (The one I used was female btw. Kinda ruined my plan of making a james bond name, but agua was a good enough name).

So yeah, epic mon, go hate cinderace instead they deserve it a lot more.

Edit: OH MY GOODNESS SO MANY INTELEON ENJOYERS I wanna cry of happiness

Not sure about Enamorus, but Inteleon’s one of my favorite starter Pokémon ever from a conceptual standpoint. Just look at this thing. It’s so freaking cool. It starts life as a sad child before turning into an emo teen, but finally gets its big break when it evolves becoming the closest thing Pokémon has to a British Intelligence Agent- Pokémon

And did I mention this thing is really fun to use in battle too? Critical hits are the name of Inteleon’s game, and its Snipe Shots will strike terror into its unsuspecting targets. A 125 Special Attack and 120 Speed stat back up Inteleon’s underrated threat level, with its frailty being offset by its access to U-Turn.

oh and i also found it funny when sneasler did its best tanjiro impression in legends arceus i guess, seriously i can’t be the only one who was reminded of that show when i saw the poké ride

BUT STILL, Inteleon!

Actually Throh is a Judo master, not a Karate master. Point still stands tho.

-The Incarnate form isn’t mostly a palette swap like the rest of the Forces of Nature, which is already a plus.
-Along with the above, it isn’t a stat copy like Tornadus and Thundurus; specifically, it hits harder on the Special side than those two.
-If it gets a decent move to abuse alongside it, Contrary should be fun.
-If it doesn’t, Springtide Storm is good enough already
-The Therian form completes/confirms the Four Symbols motif the other three had.

Id’ve taken Inteleon but bdt2002 covers much of what I wanted to say. #SobbleSquad
 
Alright, since we all collectively defended inteleon, let's focus on another water type! Um....
:sm/bruxish:
Ah yeah, the pink fish with gigantic lips! That shall be fun! Anyway, good luck!
the goat fish with goated ability’s (strong jaw, wonder skin, and dazzling) if that’s not enough bruxish pulls up with the mustard ketchup mayo and relish shiny. what more could you ask for
 
Ah, the humble:dottler:.

Not the flashiest guy I'll admit, but they certainly aren't a slouch either. They have a unique type combination and they're also a pupa mon that doesn't just sit around and harden themself all day long! Also, they're based on radomes, which is rly cool imo.

:sm/salazzle:
I do not understand the appeal at all.
The appeal to this Pokémon is finding an awesome shiny form then realize that it's a male and you don't know what to do with it.

In all seriousness, I think it's a fantatic Pokemon to use ingame if you manage to get a female. It's quick and powerful and being immune to poison and burn is huge for saving money that would have been spent on Full Heals.
 
Turtonator
Can't believe it took me this long to get to this. It's turtonator time

Turt is based on the matamata turtle, found mostly in countries where the amazon exists (brazil being a big one).

Just a little guy!

Turtonator plays on a few about Matamatas, but turned into a fire type
1. Matamatas have a long nostril that allows them to breathe while submerged. This also means their neck is super long and it looks goofy as hell.

On turtonator, this was turned into a flamethrower, the long neck was kept (and even the side protrusions were simplified into spikes)

2. Matamata turtles have markings that camouflage them with bark, leaves, and other dead matter found in rivers. Turtonator accentuated the spikes, so it now hides on the ground as other rocks, and then this concept was taken further by turning it into a landmine. The shell itself is a fun play on cartoony explosions, with bright reds, yellows, and rock debris around.


The shiny actually references the matamata's natural colors nicely! Blues, browns and a green-yellow
1668304651979.png


Turtonator's shell having a weak point is very fun, as irl mines work by using a firing pin pushed by pressure to activate the explosion charges, while Turtonator has a built-in "relieve pressure" which allows it to make Shell Trap a targeted attack instead of harming itself in the process.

Also it's silly :)
 
Grafaiai. I don't know why, but I really just can't vibe with em. It sucks, cause it actually is a decent design with some amazing lore, too. But I really just can't get into it.
Came here for this exact same pitch. I don’t care if it’s a cool animal that hasn’t been a Pokémon before. I don’t care it’s a cool unique type combo. This grody ass Pokémon makes me want to throw up whenever I remember it’s painting with partially chewed up food.
