Aipom?

[ghost master]

I was just curious what everyone thinks of Aipom. I've noticed there's been a lot of hate towards it but I dont understand why. Most people just say they dont like it but dont provide a good answer why. So if you hate it or dont like it explain why. I guess the same goes for the people who like it too.

I like it. Crack addled monkeys with opposable thumbs on their tails are kickass

I think Aipom was a bit unnecessary, but I don't really hate it. If they were going to give him Aipom, they should have had him capture it near the beginning of the BF saga...not at the very end of it.

Because they gave it to him so late, the only possible battle it can be in is the Battle Pyramid, and it sure as hell better not be used there. If it is, someone needs to make one of those flash games where you shoot a running Aipom with a shotgun.

Agreed but I'd love im if e' ad' an evo

I voted for Love it. I agree with you, I don't understand why people hate Aipom so much. I think he's cool! The ones I don't like are Wobbuffet, Wynaut(I do like its cuteness) and Smeargle. The reason why is because they don't do much.

While I don't like Aipom and find its headpiece-stealing antics annoying, when you have May's Squirtle also as a part of the main group, it instantly becomes impossible to hate the thing.

Aipom is cool. Sure he doesn't fit in with Ash's powerful BF team, but he is a cool pokemon with a likeable personality.

 

[Erus Black Mage]

Kinda odd it was caught at the end of the BF sage, so there prolly gonna give it an evolution.

 

[Reece]

I like it whenever Ash catches a new Pokemon.

 

[Ashy Boy]

Aipom is OK for me. He's not really one of my fav Pokemon. We'll have to see what Aipom can do to be a vital part of Ash's team.

 

[daksunt]

aipom is good. and since ash is going to start a journey in shinou he needs a small pokemon like it. think of this way if he brings sceptile he wouldnt have any problems with gyms.(like he send charizard to charcific valley in johto). so instead of capturing it in shinou they let him captured it in here so they can train up a little.

 

[SneazzL.com]

i like him lol

 

[O Fortuna]

If Aipom has a D/P evolution, good. If not then I see [spoil]Ash's capture of it[/spoil] as rather pointless.

Oh yeah, people wanna use spoilers seeing as how this is in the Anime Polls section rather than the Anime Spoilers section? I personally couldn't care less but I get tired of people clogging these threads with complaints or stupid questions...

I don't hate Aipom. Infact, it's actually a personal favourite of mine.

What I don't like, is the direction it's 'personallity' is headed. Currently, all I'm seeing from it, is the behavior of a purple Munchlax that can climb trees. Stealing things and running off with them doesn't make for a personallity. It makes for a stupid little gimmick that gets real old, real fast.
Of course, I can't really judge it properly at the moment. If they actually DON'T take it down that road by having it just steal stuff and run around (which would shock me to no end), then it's all good.

Deja Vu all over again~

 

[Chatsy]

Gravy, your sig makes me cry.

Aipom is growing on to me. I liked how it seemed to love battling especially from watching May's Festival battles. So in that department, I think it's ok.
But the stealing hat gimmick is a bit meh-ish. Sure, hatless Ash, woohoo, but it'll be annoying if that's to be expected in every episode from now on.
Pop - goes the Aipom and off with the hat.

I don't hate the thing, but I'm not overly fond of it either.

 

[CyberCubed]

Aipom is in the 9th movie too, I'm surprised they kept it so well hidden until the last moment. (If they showed Aipom in the early 9th movie trailers, we'd know Ash was going to get it right away)

 

[S.Suikun]

Yeah, they even went as far as releasing a second version of a poster that was seen months before, now featuring Aipom.

 

[Ash6K]

Before, I wasn't really thrilled to have Aipom be on Ash's team since it didn't look like a powerhouse pokemon like Sceptile, Donphan, Snorlax, etc. But seeing it battle a little bit made me like it more. I just wished it was caught earlier but anyway, I hope for the best for Aipom.

 

[cold_katanagirl]

I was irritated by Aipom towards the beginning, but at this point, I don't really care about it. I get a little annoyed by the whole hat-gimmick (it's already getting old), but for the most part, I don't really pay it any attention.

 

[Yamato-san]

I like it. It's an alright Pokemon, for the time being. One has to consider that we didn't see much of it now that it's under Satoshi's control (though, with that said, maybe I should've voted "impartial"). I guess we'll see how it really turns up in "Aipom and the King", the first time it looks to truely be showcased as Satoshi's Pokemon (who knows. Maybe he'll lay off his gimmick after that incident with the crown). But as I've said before, if the writers dare to make it upstage Jukain at the Battle Pyramid, I will give it hell.
