Pokemon Unpopular Opinions Thread

Wouldn't it be x5 or x6 weakness(can't remember which one), as there are already Pokémon with more than 4x weakness to a move.
Parasect, to Fire.
It's Bug/Grass (each of which is weak to Fire, so 2 x 2), plus the ability Dry Skin makes it take 1.25x the damage from Fire-type attacks.

4 * 1.25 = 5.

Metalizard has his math correct.
 
Black and White 2 FTW, White and Black 2 are stupid.

That's because it goes Black -> Black 2 or White -> White 2. They storyline makes so sense if you play White then Black 2.

Despite Ash's apparent inability to age I love the kid and couldn't imagine the show without him. Team Rocket on the other hand.. Give it up guys, you stopped being "cool" after Jhoto. I like Meowth as a Pokemon but the character keeps me from loving it.. Words cannot describe my hate for that character..

I don't think TR was meant to be cool to begin with. Their primary job is to be funny, and they're actually pretty good at it.

Want proof? one two three

  • I hate the dub.
  • Sylveon is the worst KIND of Pokémon! It has those creepy flesh bow things, yet it's a "Fairy", so it's supposed to look cute and IMO it fails big time.
  • I think Fennekin is the worst designed 6th gen starter, because it has a huge head, a huge tail and a tiny body, which makes it look like it's dying of starvation.
  • IMO, Samurotts design makes no sense, as he starts off as a biped, then turns into a bigger biped and then turns into a quadruped. This makes no sense, as he has two swords and the only other quadrupeds that have swords, are the muskdeers and Keldeo and those are their horns. Also, doesn't Samurott have a horn too? Why didn't his swords just develop into armor and instead use his horn as a sword?
  • Also, another problem I have with Samurott, is how can he even attack with those swords? When both of his forearms are holding them, he probably can't move very far, as quadrupeds suck at walking on two legs, so that means he has quite a short range (assuming he can't do any other attacks while holding the swords). So any Pokémon that can use a long-range attack, like Thunderbolt would beat him every time. I'm honestly surprised his species still exists, concerning how he has bad defenses AND speed. The only way Samurotts design could work, is if he had stats like this: 95/70/100/85/108/70 that way he could defend against attacks better and concentrate more on long-range attacks, as IMO, something like Samurott shouldn't do short-range.

You shouldn't be: see Magikarp.

Magikarp is faster than a lost of weaker Pokémon, so it's fine.
 
I got some more unpopular opinions. This time I will be talking about the TCG

I actually like to collect Ken Surgimori/5ban graphics cards. They look really nice.
I don't like the light and dark Pokemon
In fact the only kinds Pokemon I liked were Old school EXs, Delta Species, Lv.X, Primes, New EXs, and Evil Team's Pokemon
I dislike how sucky Pokemon like Watchog and Musharuna are used in every set as a rare while they are filler and worthless. Some people might disagree with this because they belive fillers make collecting tough. I agree with them, but they shouldn't be rares.
 
- Black was the only real fun Pokemon main series game for be because I did a blind play through.
- Zekrom is ugly and Reshiram is beautiful.
- I don't think Conquest was that repetitive...
 
Time to get this off my chest...

I love white kyurem. I prefer Black kyurem, but I feel obligated to WK because I played pokemon white and must buy the sequel.


I think Boundaries crossed is a bad set. Mainly because its about snow and stuff (Mainly because blister is white, not being rascist against own kind, just looks boring)

I have not opened new blister yet, but prefer old ones still. I think the old ones because of the ripping cardboard for the pack.

I believe HG/SS are both great games, just after beating Kanto leaders and red, it is boring. The GTS is made up of OH GIVE ME A LEVEL 9 OR UNDER LEGENDARY!!!11!!!!! HURDUR (You know the GTS one is true)

I love Firered/leafgreen. In fact, own 3-4 leaf greens and 2 firereds!

RSE has the best music ever. Period.

I do nuzlockes... except I do the first pokemon of the route rule

There's another way to play nuzlockes?

I didn't like the music in RSE, because it had the trumpets from EB/Mother 3 (can't remember which one) in almost every song.
I don't like the instruments that are used for the Subway, as it's too Sonic Spinball-like.

.

I meant something completely different. 0.0 My mistake. And there is actually. Randomlocks, where it same except random pokemon. And you can add your own rules, etc. etc.

Another opinion: I don't believe in competitive pokemon battles. I use 1-2 stat/status reducing moves in my movepool though
 
I dislike people who like a certain Pokemon only cause they are "unpopular" by fandom standards which they feel somehow makes them "against the norm and cool"
I dislike Chaining I think it ruined shinies.
I like REing (Random Encounter) for shinies.
I thought Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald (Gen 3) was great.
Gen 3 Music rocked!
I loved the Battle Frontier in Emerald, hated it in the other games.
I hate how everyone flip flopped on Dragonite with Salamence only to flip flop again once D-nite got Multiscale
Dragonite pwns all other dragon types.
I love EV training (It's a good way to rack up RE for shinies as well)
I hate IVs
I thought Misty was a good character until Johto season
I don't want Brock to come back unless he grows a beard or matures
I like the fact Ash doesn't age at least one of us is staying young
I hate reverse holos
I hate Ken Sugimori, match(sp?), and 5ban art style but I love Mitsuhiro Arita's art style.
I'm a gen 1-2 fan big time (Bought first game September 1998) and most of my favorite pokemon are gen1-2 but the most fun I had playing Pokemon was gen 3.
 
-The TCG takes little to no skill to play anymore. Just throw money and get Plasmabox/White Tea variants and you have a good shot at winning
-EV training, while required is still a waste of time
-The VG is broken to the point where the banlist is as long as Yu-Gi-Oh TCG
-TPCi are a bunch of money-loving censored words who don't care about their customers so as long as they get their fill of money

I thought this was an unpopular opinion thread? xD

To add to this I hate I can't buy Booster Boxes anywhere the TCG is sold.
I hate that America doesn't get some cool/cheesy Pokemon show like Pokemon Smash. I'd seriously watch it.
I hate that TPCi doesn't involve the fans more like other game companies do or even Pokemon Co itself (Japan). (Esp MMORPG companies)

Still not as bad as capcom.
 
I just love how people write off PMD: Infinity just because it doesn't have the personality quiz.
I don't like Fletchling. It gets boring when generation after generation there are bland birds.
Genwunner master race for life.
Mewtwo's new form is ugly and uncreative.
I'm for the new Fairy type.

Well hey, I still have people here who defend that Pokemon is so skill-based compared to previous formats. lol

Others generally don't really care about TPCi and are just indifferent towards them.
 
I dislike the idea of formes. Although, I do like the formes themselves, I think it's a pointless mechanic. Might as well just make the forme its normal forme and get rid of the normal forme altogether. The Gen IV formes were fine though.

I hate IVs

(I was supposed to edit my own post whenever I'd want to add something else but wtv...)

Your post just reminded me...
I kinda like EV training. I don't usually care much about it or do it often, but I don't think EV training is a waste or hard or boring (that one, it might be a bit)... It's actually quite easy to EV train...
On the other hand, I also absolutely hate IVs. Everything about it. The fact it can go from 0 to 31 (should be a lower number range), the fact that we can't see them (always have to use an IV calculator and hope it's accurate), the fact that Hidden Power depends on them (specially on high IVs)... It's so frustrating when I catch a pokémon with the right nature, the right ability (if it has 2 and I want a specific one), the right gender but I check the IV and it has the lowest IV on its better stat and the highest on a useless stat... and sometimes you might even get a high IV on Atk (for example), but the Speed IV is stupidly low... I hate that we have no control over them... IVs are freakin' annoying and ruin the fun of pokémon...
