Galar, those two screenshots are from the Pokemon Ranger movie. If those Altaria didn't show up when they did, the boy in the picture would have died of frostbite! (No, Frost wasn't going to bite him)

I'm aware you like Lickilicky for other reasons and I respect that. And I also agree this topic is about YOUR opinions, but I get a little tired when all I see is people supporting every word you say without question. It seems to me that people who disagree with you shut their mouths, which kills constructive criticism of opinion and the opportunity for intelligent argument. I'm just trying to heat this place up.

On the matter of Lickilicky x Charizard, I must say that I'm guilty of being a kanto-tard, as you might put it. I was always more into the older generations and regarded the original pokemon as works of art that should NOT be tampered with. I looked at pokemon like Lickitung and Tangela and say "Wow, what a unique.. creature! I'm never going to forget that ball of vines with red shoes/thing with a huge tongue." Then, nearly a decade later, Nintendo turns around, drawing on their prior success and creativity to create.. an evolution!(?) Shouldn't we have known about that.. before?

The process bugs me, most likely because it emphasizes Nintendo's incapability to think of more original ideas (DON'T ATTACK ME HERE FROST, because I recognize they have made SOME new creative designs)
And just being able to create another pokemon that is immediately allowed to bask in the success of its predecessor by declaring it is an EvoLuTiOn!! detracts from the original pokemon's greatness.
It is like living your whole life with a loving family and then being told you are adopted and everything you have known was a lie. <--- Hyperbole

This is the basis of my bias towards all the magnezone/magmortar/rhyperior/tangrowth/lickilicky's.

I'd like to note that I Standing O'ed the rant, not necessarily Lickilicky.

Lickilicky has been one of those Pokes that go unnoticed by me. I completely forget that they exist (along with Lickitung in GenI) it's just never appealed to me, no matter how completely unique and bizzare it is. I didn't mind when it got an evolution. Like most other evos it just kind of got a "meh" from me. So I don't like Lickilicky but I'm not angry that he exists.

Hm. I'll go ahead and bring this up. Aside from being slightly overpowered, I don't understand why my buddy Electivire gets so much hate. I don't really think Electabuzz could've made it into the OU tier (or at least the unwritten "top" of "it"""), so they made it evolve and now they have another pretty decent unique physical electric type for kids to play with. Its design wasn't even really that bad either. I kind of understand where people are coming from, but others seem to be sheepy. (plug for Amphy)

They made some more babies in RSE, so they can make some evos in DPP. I like most of them, and use a lot of them. I'm just glad they didn't evolve Gyarados. Or Mewtwo into Mewthree/Gyigas.

Well... I don't have any huge argument for why I dislike Lickilicky, I just think it is ugly and a bad design. Not liking a pokemon because it does not fit my personal aesthetic tastes is just fine, everyone does it. For instance, I actually like Sharpedo (granted, I always thought the left part was actually the rest of its body curling around >_>), but for the most part I like Frost's picks.

Wish Attack Deoxys had made it to the top 10, but hey, s'all good.

I think you misunderstand, because you were absolutely correct.

I did initially have 6 Lv.100 Snore Blisseys, but I realised they were still pretty difficult to kill, almost impossibly so for a low level pokemon that relied on the Special Attack stat.
Hell even if you could OHKO them with something like Cross Chop, it still took forever and a day for their HP bar to go from full to empty. Which doing 6 times a day, every day was pretty annoying.

So in the end I decided to favour stat exp over raw exp points, and I think I ended up with a Lv.1 team of Blissey, Shuckle, Ho-oh, Mewtwo, Tyranitar and Electrode.

I'm not 100% sure if all those are correct, but I wanted one good one for each stat, and some of them doubled up with more than one good stat each.

I was just surprised YOU remembered this, because I don't remember ever discussing it. Then again, I don't remember a lot of things from the EZboard days

My main difference with this is that my top poke's wold be 1)gengar 2)hypno 3)scizor 4)electivire and 5)magortar, in order of favorite to fifth favorite.Otherwise, i sorta agree and kinda disagree.

Lickylicky can rest easy. Now this guy will be the Pokemon everyone will rant about:

Ok, I haven't read all of your updates, but from what I have read, I agree with you. Though that's not much coming from me, I am extremely indecisive when it comes to picking favorites, therefore, I love all pokemon. Some not as much as others...and my "favorite" changes like every 5 seconds...anyway, I agree with many of your rankings, i'm not going to name them all or else i'll just start babbling and sound like an idiot. But, for a third time, I agree with your rankings(from what i've seen).

That's why I like the unorthodox pokes, too. I'm not much of a mainstream person so I'm more inclined to go out and dust off the old pokemon. My current party is in a little limbo right now, but I'm working for some good battle teams;

I caught and plan to use
from older gens:
-meganium(starter)
-Lapras
-pineco (evolve into forretress)
-larvitar (evolve, duh)
-all the eeveelutions
-the shiny gyarados
-Steelix
-Quagsire
-Weezing

And the newer gens pokes that evolved from older gens:
-honchkrow
-mismagius
-lickilicky
-tangrowth
-mamoswine
-magmortar
-yanmega

And 4th gen only:
-rotom (gotta trade when I get Wi-fi)
-lucario

Everyone would say I fit into the nostalgiafag category; well, in terms of looks yes. But I do prefer a lot of the newer gens pokemon over the older ones and I even like a lot of the 4th gen evos over their pre-evos from gen 1 and 2. Of course due to OCD and a lot of research, I did come up with the list above based entirely off of battle prospects and uses and no preferences were factors in the selections.

Sorry if this is too long for you guys, but that's my two cents and an extra benjamin with it. Feel free to delete it if it's too much.

Torchic and Mudkip Hoenn happened to be my favorite region starter-wise. Also, that's what happened to Misty's togepi? I never really kept up with the anime, all i knew is that togepi evolved, not that it flew away forever. While i'm on that subject, why do you hate Misty so much?
Cacnea and Azumarill? In your top 20? I wouldn't have placed them so high...they just, aren't very...likeable in my eyes. I agree James' Cacnea was sweet and I hated that they got rid of it, but that doesn't make me love it.
Seel is awesome and Shaymin is cute(surprised it's NU, it's actually pretty useful). Chikorita is adorable in every way, and Ash's was awesome, so I agree with u there.
Jirachi is cute and besides the summer jirachi(which mine is still Lv6) i've never owned one, and I think that's the only pokemon movie i've never seen.
Just one last thing to say...Highlight to view spoiler.
HERACROSSS RAPE!

Yay, my favorite is still in the running, Ampharos FTW c:

Thank you for giving Mew justice. It was the first mascot legendary, and I love its pink, psychic mouse form.

chikorita has to be HGSS' worst overworld sprite. But I selected it in my HG game because I never started with it before, I used totodile in Gold and used cyndaquil (original hedgehog I believe) in my crystal ROM.

GO AMPHY!!!!

Everytime i read one of your post its takes me 20 extra minutes since cuase i have to to click every one of your links
anyways i think dewgong is a ovbiuos number one pokemon

...Damn, I didn't think you'd ever get to the end of this. All those months of you doing that voting thing and now...it's over.

...Still hurts seeing Sneasel that low. It still hurts

I'm not sure it's really possible to disagree with you listing your favourite pokemon in order.

You: This is my favourite Pokemon!
Them: No it isn't!
You: ....
THem: ....

I forgot heracross existed... And yaaay togetic! I remember when I had a level 44 in silver and managed to beat lance with it... What a fluke xD
