Favorite Non-Legendary Pokemon?

[Fishies]

No Legendaries or glitch Pokemon. My favorite non-legendary is Magikarp. It's so useless it's awesome.

[Dhavaer]

Scizor/Scyther. Because of the blades.

[lumberofdabeast]

Metagross. Who needs legendaries?

[Setra]

Charizard

Because he is awesome :smallcool:

[Krade]

Horsea. What? I like the little fish-horse-thing! I liked him enough to keep him from evolving. Teach him surf and bubblebeam with the HM/TM and you got a serious ass-kicker. I solo'd the last gym with Horsea one time (In red version).

[DarkLightDragon]

Pikachu has been my favourite ever since I watched the show as a kid. :smallbiggrin:

[Maryring]

Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu, Plusle, Minun... see a pattern here? :smallbiggrin:

[SKarious]

Kadabra, a solid psychic with a great name.

[Jothki]

Aron. It's kind of cute, it's Steel/Rock, and boy did I guess well when I chose to make it one of my primary Pokemon in Ruby. Aggron for the win.

Thinking about it, though, it is kind of a clone of Nidoran. Still, Steel/Rock is awesome enough that I don't care.

[Sephiroth]

errrr does mew count ? any it has the be evey pichu like pokemon errr and all of ... lets just cute and evils one for me

[Alex Kidd]

Please, clean up the english Sephiroth. An oedipal complex(FF7 joke, not personal insult) does not excuse poor lingual skills.

Ontopic, Charmander through Charizard. Too cool.

[BrokenButterfly]

I quite like Sandslash,Scyther and Dugtrio. I haven't really thought about this for some time anyway...

[Vonriel]

What BrokenButterfly said, sans Dugtrio. It always had too little defense for my taste.

[Maryring]

Well, it does have a pretty thin skin after all. The moles are fun to have, but they do go down way too quick. Also, I forgot to add the nidorans to my list (first stage only). Meowth is also a favourite of mine.

[Arang]

Gyarados. It's one of the most awesome pokemon in the game, and getting it after 10-15 levels of Magikarp is one of the best moments. Almost as good as taking Pupitar over 50 levels to Tyrantitar.

[Ettlesby]

I've always liked Gardevoir. But Vaporeon is a close second, along with Electrode and Abra.

None of them, however, come close to beating Farfetch'd for me.

[Indon]

Nidoking.

A pokemon so tough, he's weak to water but can still swim (read: learn Surf). Plus he's very versatile besides.

[Aotrs Commander]

Pikachu.

Unimagiantive, and indeed, awefully uncharacteristically mainstream of me, but true.

Mainly, of course, because of the anime. That I still watch, and collect on DVD.

Plus, I always have had a thing for electricity. And yellow.

After that it gets really hard, with Blaziken, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Vaporoen, Feraligatr and Alakazam among the top ones I can list of the top of my head...

[BrokenButterfly]

I never liked Pikachu, purely because he was so annoying, and the poster-rat of the entire franchise. I've always liked Dugtrio because it's just so very fast, (oh yeah, and the fact that it could Slash, despite having no discernible limbs, let alone claws)

Oh and the Pokemon I hate: Anything that looks a lot like a person, so that's Mr. Mime and Jynx. Both are very disturbing, even before you factor in the mime.

[Vonriel]

I still don't rightfully know why I liked Sandslash, I've just thought it always looked really cool. Scyther because it was.. well, see Sandslash. :smalltongue:

Umm, close seconds would be Vaporeon, Alakazam, and Gyarados.

[InaVegt]

Squirtle .

[Jothki]

I'm also a fan of Zigzagoon and its evolution. It's like Rattata, except it gives you items!

[BrokenButterfly]

I loved Linoone, he's part of my Sapphire Squad, (which has a nice ring to it...) he just kept picking up Nuggets...

[Dr._Weird]

Scyther, despite how weak he was.

EDIT: In Red/Blue. Anything past that and maybe Gold/Silver doesn't count as a pokemon game.

[Gungnir]

Anything that learns Swords Dance without the TM. Scyther being at the top of the list, with my new Lucario pretty soon after.

Somewhere on there is an Alakazam with Psycho Cut. I like the idea of a sideplot starring one that ONLY knows psycho cut, roaming the countryside putting down evildoers with swords of pure psychic energy superimposed over his spoons...

[Maryring]

I'd love the idea of a pokemon game that didn't star humans, except pokemon mystery dungeon. That game was pretty fun, but I want a much more storydriven game. What about a war between pokemon and trainers? That'd be... interesting at least.

[Ikkitosen]

Bulbasaur!

[Copacetic]

Houndoom, espeon, Dragonite, and Tryantiar a little bit. Houndoom and espeon are kinda tied and their my favorite to use in a double battle.

[Mewtarthio]

Alakazam. It's annoying to catch an Abra (you've got to incapacitate it in one round or it teleports away), annoying to train an Abra (though not so much as Magikarp), yet oh so worth it to own an Alakazam.

[Desidus]

Wow... I remember pokemon...

Dratini and whatever it turned into... always awesome

[tgva8889]

My favorite pokemon I actually use in battles: Scizor. Underrated, really. That super fire weakness is his only weakness, which makes him a stellar pokemon in my opinion.

My real favorite pokemon: Pichu and Wigglytuff. Pichu more. I just don't know why, but I find it so cute and stuff and it's just a cool pokemon to me. Wigglytuff holds a place in my heart because it was such a fun pokemon to use competitively. So hilarious.

[Icewalker]

Kabutops. Big arm bladeyness. Only dude I ever got to 100 in any of the games. It was in yellow actually, where I dumped Pikachu into the comp at like level 18, and didn't take him out until I had a level 100...he was hellof pissed at me...good times...

[tgva8889]

On Pokemon Yellow, I have a Surfing Pikachu (which I lovingly nicknamed Pizzachu) with at least 30 bars of HP. Go, Gameshark infinate HP cheat, go!

(It's level 84. Serious. The highest level I've ever trained a pokemon.)

[TheSorrow]

I'd have to go with the always awesome Donphan, ever since I saw him in the first movie he has been my favorite!

[BanjoTheClown]

Squirtle and Absol.

[Raven T.]

Lanturn, hands down.

Followed by Blaziken, Venusaur, and Gengar.

[Felius]

Gardevoir, period.

Then come the Metagross, the medicham (well, the stats doesn't look like, but with it's special ability it gets some unfair attack power), and a few others I don't remember the name right now.

[Gungnir]

New one to add to my list: Glaceon.

It has the Snow Cloak ability, which makes it harder to hit while its hailing, and it learns hail and blizzard, which has perfect accuracy during a hailstorm. AND it even looks cool!

[theKOT]

Eevee. That thing is adorable and can evolve into whatever type your party is lacking. I curse the Pokemon makers for leaving it until the end of Diamond/Pearl. NOW I have to use a stinkin rapidash as my fire type.

[Gungnir]

Yea, they really stomped on fire types this run... Ponyta is your only thing to turn to without chimchar.

At least you can save before you get your eevee, then wait for a female so you can fill a box with eevee eggs! Thats fun.

Edit: Gah! COMPLETELY walked by the Homestar reference!

[Jaykell]

Either pachirisu, cus a little blue electric squirell is so cute, or prinplup, cause penguins ROCK!!!!!!!!!

yeah...........

[BanjoTheClown]

I Changed My Mind About My Favorite Pokemon. My Favorite Pokemon is InfernoApe.

[Mattarias, King.]

Typhlosion, baby! :biggrin: All hail the flaming weasel of explodey death!

Ah, man, crystal version, good times.. I dig the whole Cyndaquil line. They're awesome. ^-^

Also, yeah, they really neded motre fire types in 4th gen. And don't dig the whole fire/fighting fetish nintendo's been having. In the good old days, fire starters had no reason to fear psychics and birds. :smallsigh:

[Raven T.]

No, they used to fear Rock and Ground/Electric (depending on which one you had, Typhlosion or Charizard.)

I'm upset that they gimp the Fire type, as a rule, with bad stats.

[Setra]

No, they used to fear Rock and Ground/Electric (depending on which one you had, Typhlosion or Charizard.)

I'm upset that they gimp the Fire type, as a rule, with bad stats.
I'm fairly sure Charizard had the highest stats of the three originals.

Then again I never really used the others much (Though I have played through the game with them at least twice, I only remember Charizard).

Also, would anyone be willing to send me a spare copy of Red/Blue?

[Raven T.]

It may have had the highest all around stats, but Fire types, as a rule, have piddly Special Attack stats compared to some other species.

[Eldpollard]

Magikarp all the way. It's stupidly powerful. Ever been on the wrong end of splash? It's not nice is it?

[TheOtherMC]

Goin' with Growlithe on this one. Before any of my friends or I ever even knew what Pokemon was (Yeah THAT long ago.) I chanced upon some free (Read: some kid left them at the office...) Growlithe and Arcanine cards. Later finding out Arcanine has near-legendary stats didnt hurt either....

[Jibar]

I've always had this special place in my heart for Psyduck.
Despite being abso-ruddy-lutely adorable, he is also a psychic type, one of my specialities, and can evolve into the ultra cool Golduck.
It's really win win with these guys.

Turns out Psyduck is pure-water that can use psychic moves. Doesnt matter much though, Golduck still kicks ass

[BanjoTheClown]

I Was gonna post this along time ago but i forgot.:smalleek: Now my favorite non lengendary is..... Pikachu.

[Setra]

Just remembered another of my favorites.

Eevee.

Because it's 7 pokemon in one :smallbiggrin:

[Gungnir]

I Was gonna post this along time ago but i forgot.:smalleek: Now my favorite non lengendary is..... Pikachu.
That is... unfortunate. Since I got Pearl, I've been looking more into the actual mechanics of how things work, and it turns out, even though I still like the booger a bit, pikachu is freaking horrible. Learning this makes me realize hat Ash really IS a pokemon master. At all points in the show, pikachu is his strongest pokemon, besides charizard, which he never uses.

And yet, he still wins. With flair. Something that should not be possible. If Ash had used that thunderstone on pikachu all those years ago, he would surely be like unto a God, for raichu is actually halfway decent.

Imagine if he had started out with that charmander. It probably would have evolved 3 times, into a completely new kind of pokemon, just from Ash's sheer talent.

[tgva8889]

Well, his Pikachu does know more than 4 moves (It knows at least Thunder, Thunderbolt, Agility, Volt Tackle, and Iron Tail right now), so he truly is a pokemon master. Though that guy who had his Scizor finish off his opponent's pokemon with False Swipe is definately the best trainer in my book.

Really, though, Pikachu is horrible game-wise. Well, unless he has 30+ bars of HP, as well as 30 Surfs, Thunderbolts, and Thunder Waves. Which is way too many, but still, he's not bad with more HP than a level 1000 Blissey would have.

I think the real reason that I think Pichu is so cool is that I still have one in my Gold version with Petal Dance. Petal Dance. That makes no sense whatsoever and is still so totally awesome.

[Setra]

I can't consider the guy who kept trying to have his Pikachu attack ONYX, to be a pokemon master.

[CrazedGoblin]

Butterfree or Beedrill, i have no idea why hahah :smallbiggrin:

[BanjoTheClown]

I can't consider the guy who kept trying to have his Pikachu attack ONYX, to be a pokemon master

Wasnt that before he was a pokemon master?

[Sewer_Bandito]

Absol- The coolest dark poke'mon ever, and you have to love perish song combined with mean look :smallbiggrin:

A close second would be zangoose, he just looks so beast. And I got mine's attack up to insane levels so he kills everything in 1 hit at level 56 :smallbiggrin:

There's also been a special place in my heart for Spoink. There's just something about a pig with a spring for a tail....

Ohh, and Murkrow, there's just somethig about a bird that appears at night that causes bad luck that makes it cool.

[Dr. Bath]

Gotta be spoink, the cutest thing ever. And it wasn't half bad.

Other than that, Igglybuff. I got a lvl. 50 Igglybuff once. And it was still useless. It's possibly more useless than Magikarp, at least that evolves into something decent.

[Yuki Akuma]

I think I've got to pick Eevee. Easily the most versatile pokemon that isn't Mew.

And, because my favourite type is Psychic, I'll have to say that Espeon is my favourite Eeveelution.

[JetTheOne]

My favorite non legendary, in regards to all around appeal would have to be bidoof Geodude, a pokemon made entirely of rock, yet he floats... not only can he dig like no other, he defies the laws of physics!

As for cuteness... either spoink (sping+oink) or skitty, plus skitty's evolution keeps the cuteness factor, where as spoink's evolution doesn't... plus he loses his ball

[TheOtherMC]

Actually from what I read of the manga thats pretty much it. The elite four dont feel pokemon and humans can coexist so they try to use a "badge amplifier" to genocidily kill all pokemon in the world. WHich is kina hypocritical considering Lance owns an army of dragonite, aerodacty, charizard, and gyrados. Pretty harcord ****. Pokemon are killed on a regular basis in it, im pretty sure Koga's arbok was bit in half at one point......god i need to read that.

[RationalGoblin]

Hmm.. favorite?

All of the original psychic pokemon, many of the rock/ground pokemon, same with ghosts and bugs.

Oh, you want certain pokemon? Ah. Then Espeon, Onix, (don't know why) Butterfree, Beedrill, Porygon, the Abra series, the Ghastly series, the Aron series, Baytol, Claydol, Duskull, and Slowpoke.

But above all else of the non-legendaries, good ol Kadabra.

By the way, this is off topic, but I'm interested in making a Pokemon-based webcomic. Anyone want to help? Send a PM if so, okay?

[Gungnir]

A close second would be zangoose, he just looks so beast.

You might not want to see his new sprite for Diamond/Pearl... They made him chubby. They did the same to sandslash. :smallfrown:

[Caewil]

Butterfree. It's stats may suck, but compoundeyes + sleep powder = win

An attack that never misses and ends a whole fight.

[Saint George]

Ghastly! Booga booga!

Oh come on. The big floating hands are scary.


Hypnotize + Dream Eater = win.

[Sewer_Bandito]

You might not want to see his new sprite for Diamond/Pearl... They made him chubby. They did the same to sandslash. :smallfrown:

Blasphemers. :smallsigh:

[Fishies]

I can't consider the guy who kept trying to have his Pikachu attack ONYX, to be a pokemon master.

Don't forget that the Pikachu BEAT the Onyx. With electric-type attacks.

[Setra]

Don't forget that the Pikachu BEAT the Onyx. With electric-type attacks.
Only because of a Water Sprinkler.

[Fishies]

Only because of a Water Sprinkler.

Then the Pikachu must have good haxx.

Arbok, IIRC, was slashed in half by Gary's (what did they call him? Blue? Green?) Charmeleon. That's the only one of that series that I've read: it gave me so many nightmares, and even now, six years or so later, the mere suggestion that a pokemon could die in battle gives me the shakes.:smallfrown:

Anyway, with 500 to choose from, I have a hard time bringing it down to less than 50. :smallredface: If I did have to choose, though, it would be Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Treeko, Chimchar, and all their respective evolutions. I likes the starters.

[Laurellien]

I like: -
- Tyranitar
- Charizard
- Dragonite

2 Dragons and a Dinosaur!!!

[Jothki]

Mareep is an inherently awesome concept.

[Setra]

Mareep is an inherently awesome concept.
I like Mareep, because every time I think about Electric Sheep I keep thinking of a specific pun.

"Baaazzzz"

[Shapechanger]

Haunter's my absolute favorite. I'm a big fan of Ghost, Dark, and Electric types.

[turtleant120]

Some of my favorites are Feralgator, Scyther/Scizor, Sneasle, Ninjask, and Ampharous.

[Raven T.]

Mareep is an inherently awesome concept.

I almost wonder how many kids tried to put sheep in the dryer to catch one?:smallamused:

Or put on a wool sweater to BECOME one...:smalleek:

[XBobbis]

I've always been a fan of Eevee and it's evolution.

'specially since Jolteon with Pin Missile was the only way I could take down my bro's Mewtwo.

Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon...hells yeah.

[The Demented One]

F*** Yeah, Seaking!

...although I also liek Mudkips.

[lacesmcawesome]

Magikarp/Gyrados, definitely.

Gyrados because it was my first 100 level pokemon (as in, my friend traded a red level 100 gyrados to me for my 67 pikachu or something, because he really didn't care/play anymore)

And Magikarp because it's hilarious to get like, a whole party of them, and just kill each one.

Okay, serious reason why magikarp? Because if you have patience, you can train him by having him like, face an enemy for one round, then take him out. Eventually he learns tackle, eventually he evolves into a gyrados, which is full of win.

(oh, and because of you guys, I'm going to now go play my pokemon games. All of them. jerks)

[Gungnir]

F*** Yeah, Seaking!

...although I also liek Mudkips.

Gee, who could have possibly see that one coming out of the guy with a Longcat/Tacgnol Yin Yang symbol as his avatar.

It's not like HE'S been to /b/ or anything.

...I also liek mudkips.

[TheLogman]

Tyranitar, he is quite simply made of win. He summons sand storms, and is the perfect combination that you can't find anywhere else: Rock-Dark.

[Sornas]

Sneasel, hands down. ^_^

[Abardam]

Heracross.

MEGAHORN

Once, I beat a Pokemon 10 levels above me with Counter. Which reminds me of that time I one-shotted Latias with a (level 20, I think) Wobuffet. That sucked.

[Orzel]

Dugtrio is the dude.

Faint my pokemon.... eat Dugtrio! No Escape Arena Trap Go first Earthquake!

Finish up which Parasect (Spore, Growthx3, Any Grass move), Heracross, Feraligatr, Jolteon, and some pyschic guy.

[blakyoshi7]

The first ones that come to mind are all Legendaries (Lugia FTW!), so I'm gonna have to second Tyranitar as being made of equal parts win and awesome.

[Reptilius]

I'd have to agree with Magikarp:smallbiggrin: (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/content/content.php?id=377178&name=377178_pokemon.swf&title=Splash%20Attack&date=1182484800&quality=b&uj=0&w=500&h=300). But seriously though, I'd choose either Kadabra or Torterra. Solid Psychic-type, or Giant Continent Turtle?

[Gungnir]

More like, incontinent turtle! OH! BURN!

...

I'm sorry. I'll stop now.

[TheAlmightyOne]

Lapras and tauros. They so badly ruled. For no reason except they looked cool.

[Skippy]

Torterra is so frikkin' awesome!!!!

That and Arcanine, with his almost-legendary stats...

[JellyPooga]

I used to really like Scyther, 'cos it's just so damn cool looking, but I've gravitated away a bit.

Now my favvies are as follows (greatest preference at the top):

Sandslash
Ghastly (under no circumstances evolved into Gengar)
Scyther
Natu/Xatu
Sneasel

[Were-Sandwich]

Scyther. He just rocked so hard.

[Aereshaa_the_2nd]

My favorites.. Well, depends on the game. I'll choose one from each.
Red/Blue: Dragonite. Hands down.
Yellow: Missingno.(does it count?) Awesome. Can learn every tm.
Gold/Silver/Crystal: Suicune, because it looks so damn cool.
Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald: Aggron, because it is almost invincible with lots of Iron used.
Pearl/Diamond: Luxray. A cat to kill both the mouse and the bird. Muhaha!!!
