So I lucked out and was able to do a Friday night entry tonight. This won't happen all the time, so enjoy this while you can. This one will be quick. As always, to be tagged, just comment that you like to be tagged in future entries of this countdown.
65. Togetic - Don't get me wrong, I like Togepi and Togekiss. Some people might disagree about me liking Togekiss, but to me, Togekiss is the evolution that Togepi deserved, being cute while still being a complete badass. Togetic, on the other hand, I didn't get all that much. It was a pain to evolve and is quite vapid for something that is supposed to be Togepi's evolution.
64. Exeggutor - IF we wanted to put Alolan forms into account, this would be the last Dragon on the list. If we don't though, that happened ages ago when Sliggoo was eliminated. But as it stands with Alola to give it a fashion makeover, Exeggcutor is uninspired and bland af, though I do enjoy the cry it has.
63. Pachirisu - When I said that Plusle, Minum, and Emolga weren't going to be on the list, Dedenne was assumed to have been the Pikachu poser to make the list. However, the knock-off that personally offends me the most is Pachirisu. It looks nothing like a fucking Pikachu, nor did it get any kind off Immunity that Dedenne and Emolga did. Sure, Dedenne DID make the Bottom 20 of Kalos and was in consideration to be on this list when I put out the "What Not to Expect" blog out, but the bottom line is that Pachirisu is who made the list out of the Pikachu knock-offs.
62. Carbink - Just like Slurpuff and some other Kalos Pokemon, this thing was here to market the Fairy-type, but unlike the others, it tries desperate to be Shuckle and it fails. Shuckle has the highest Defenses in the game and can do what Carbink can do a million times better. So basically, Carbink is just a waste of a Fairy-type.
61. Pelipper - Honestly, the reason I have Pelipper at this spot is because it massively disappointed me as an evolution. I've seen pelicans before and they look NOTHING like this idiot. And this is counting the fact that Wingull was a somewhat success in seagull designs. Pelicans themselves are interesting creatures, and I feel as though this thing is a complete butchering of pelicans.
So yesterday, I put Gloom in 72nd and people were surprised. Well, this IS my list, so yeah. But today, we have another big name going in, but just because it's a big name doesn't mean I liked it, as indicated from it being a lot further down the list than Pokemon such as Dusknoir or Huntail or Unown. As always, to be tagged in future updates, request to be tagged.
70. Ducklett - Ducklett's design annoys me, and it doesn't help that once you get to Driftveil Bridge, it's annoying flapping means a Ducklett could be on that fucking bridge. I mean, sure, you do get some cool wings too that can boost EV's, but these Duckletts can go to hell because it could also mean you have to face one. This is the reason I avoided Driftveil anytime I could, which was a bit difficult with the Pokemon World Tournament being in Driftveil City in the Black and White seuqels. There's 2 reasons it's only 70th though and not higher on the list. First reason is because I actually do like Swanna's design, which Ducklett evolves into, so I'm glad that Skyla, one of the 2 sexiest Gym Leaders in Unova and a real uplifting character, uses a Swanna when you battle her. That leads to the 2nd and bigger reason it only stayed in 70th. I love Skyla in the games. She has a close friendship with Elesa, another Gen V Gym Leader I adore, she takes you to the Nature Preserve in the sequels, and she's just an uplifting character.
69. Bouffalant - Another Unova Pokemon that annoyed me quite a bit was Bouffalant. Bouffalant was a late game wild Pokemon that I ran into a lot after I beat Ghetsis in the sequels and I was annoyed at how vapid it was to find one, so going through Route 23 was not something I particularly enjoyed after thwarting Ghetsis once and for all almost entirely due to this Pokemon.
68. Floatzel - This Pokemon annoyed me for a DIFFERENT reason. When battling one, it would use Aqua Jet for AGES, especially if I am dining in Lumiose's Restaurant Le Wow and have to battle this fucking weasel! It doesn't help when this is the battle where Protect is spammed as much as possible, a move this NPC has on Floatzel! For God's sake, does this Pokemon know no integrity? But I can't hate on it TOO much because it is supposed to save lives, according to the Pokedex.
67. Snubbull - How is this a fairy? It looks a LOT more like a bully to me. That might be because Snubbull was a main antagonistic bully in one of the Pokemon shorts that accompanied its movie. So for this to be a fairy is shocking, and NOT in a good way.
66. Miltank - In 66th is Whitney's form of the devil itself, otherwise known as Miltank. Originally, I wanted to put this 10 spots higher in 56th because then it would be my 666th favorite Pokemon to match its devil comparisons, but I felt 66th was a better place to send Miltank off at because I need to base this list off of MY preferences and that's it. But like the others we knocked off today, Miltank was annoying, but that's about it. Miltank just wasn't offensive to go any further although it got a lot of people to quit Pokemon. Fucking Whitney.
25 down, only 75 more to go. We're still not into the offensive Pokemon yet, but we do reach the 10-percent boundary today and will even be passing it with the 5 Pokemon I have for you today. As always, if you wanna be tagged for future blogs in this countdown, PYN in the comments saying you wanna be tagged.
75. Weedle - Yes, Weedle is below Metapod, and that's because Weedle is just a worthless Bug/Poison that is your early game Pokemon if you DON'T want a butterfly. And here's the thing, there are many Pokemon that can cover both of its types better than any Weedle can.
74. Bidoof - You know that Pokemon that everyone hated known as Bidoof? Well, I can see where they are coming from. It looks like a derpy hot mess, not that there's anything wrong with that, but people love to hate it and I obviously don't love this worthless thing if it's on here. Bibarel, which Bidoof evolves into, is a great HM slave, but considering I had Bibarel on my initial shortlist, that don't impress me much. Even so, Bidoof may be my least favorite of the first-stage rats, but there is an evolved form of another TWO rats that were much worse than Bidoof.
73. Lumineon - This forgettable blue fish is notable for one thing finally: being the Pokemon to be my 10-percent boundary! That means every Pokemon who is higher than Lumineon on this list is in my Bottom 10 percent of all Pokemon! But anyway, this thing is just a blue fish that has no real purpose and is just an example of how quantity is preferred over quality.
72. Gloom - So if Lumineon was right at the 10-percent line, the Pokemon just below that is none other than Gloom. Now, don't get me wrong, the rest of the Oddish line I actually kind of like in their own way. Oddish is a cute alternative for Grass if you didn't choose Bulbasaur, and both of Gloom's evolutions bring something to the table, but Gloom by itself just... glooms me. (you can now kick me in the dick for that pun) If it didn't have that gloomy look, I wouldn't feel a bit more depressed just looking at its face, and that's what it really comes down to for Gloom. Needless to say, Gloom does not make me day any better but any particular means.
71. Heatmor - We'll close today off with what is the only Fire-type to be on this list, meaning that Heatmor is my least favorite Fire-type. Heatmor is a forgettable Pokemon by all means, but what makes this so much more depressing is that its prey, Durant, outshines Heatmor in many ways, so the 71-spot is a good place for Heatmor. Oh, and I'm not a huge fan of Heatmor's design either, so there's that going against it too.
