Pokemon you HATE.
drpepper245:
I'm going to have to say..... a level 5 Pidgey.
But honestly, any Pokemon with the annoyingly high-pitched voices. Gives more goosebumps than nails on the chalkboard.

I mean have any of you actually trained all 493 pokemon to lv. 100. sure some are extremely powerful but beating the strong one with a team of lv. 100 caterpies kakunas and others of the like is something that can be a good experience.

Ok. Firstly, Pokemon is definitely still made for the 6-14 age group. Those of us who are older than that either loved Pokemon as younger kids, or are here simply because Pokemon is so huge, that by probability there is going to be a large community of older fans (though still vastly outnumbered by young kids).
I'm not sure what you mean by "getting more realistic" with each generation. I took the liberty of counting the number of pokemon which appear to be closely based on an animal or plant:
Gen 1 - 93/151 62%
Gen 2 - 47/100 47%
Gen 3 - 66/135 49%
Gen 4 - 55/107 51%
The design of Pokemon is getting lazier, an example being the number with an oval for a head -
Plusle, Minun, Nuzleaf, Slakoth, Spinda, Aipom, Pachirisu, Ambipom, Buneary, Glameow, Purugly, Mime Jr., Croagunk, Lickylicky, Electivire, Lake spirits.
Notice I'm not even including those that should have round heads, like Pichu, Torchic, Mudkip, Surskit, Swablu etc.
There are also copies made, some of which are ok, and some which are just unnecessary:
Sentret/Furret and Zigzagoon/Linoone
Pichu, Plusle, Minun and Pachirisu
Wurmple/evolutions and Caterpie/Weedle/evolutions
Meowth/Persian and Skitty/Delcatty and Glameow/Purugly are all normal type housecats
Venomoth and Dustox and Mothim - do we really need three different moth pokemon?
Magnezone, Electivire, Magmortar and Rhyperior just look bad. They ruin four great lines of pokemon.
Also, Torterra is based on Aspidochelone, a legendary sea turtle with an island on its back.
There are many Pokemon with no redeeming features at all. I won't list them here, but explain to me the appeal of Dunsparce, for instance, or Volbeat and Illumise, strictly on an artistic level, because that is what this thread is about.
I don't see why I have to train every (or any!) Pokemon to 100 to hate a design.
It is difficult for the designers to constantly make new Pokemon, but that doesn't mean we can't have an opinion. Some of the designs are just plain bad.
All that being said, this topic was intended to be just for fun!

Exactly this! The thread wasnt intended for pokemon that are bad to train and play with in the game, its for pokemon we dislike.
You wouldnt buy a very expensive car because it performs well if its extremely ugly.

Off Topic but-
I would actually buy performance over looks. If it'll make you some $$$ on the streets then u can buy urself something that looks nice later lol :P
Phosphorous:
I hate
Shellos because it's basically another Slugma.
Spiritomb <--- Seriously... wtf is that ? When the newer pokemon where still unofficial i thought this piece of poop was fake. turns out it was real >:/
and then i hate all generation 4 legenderies. Why the hell so many ?
It just makes legenderies not as cool or rare.
Started of with just Mew, Mewtwo, and the 3 legendary birds.
then two new birds, and 3 dog type looking things. (and they where still bad ass looking)
but they just had to keep on adding and adding, and it just made me feel like a legendary wasn't so legendary at all.
^^^
BTW I do know them name of the "legendary birds and dogs", just said it like that cuz im feelin lazy right now lol
chaosdestroyer:
