• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Best Regional ______?

The Flash

I like shorts!
Out of all the Regional Staples, (Bird, Rodent, and Bug), which were your favorites?

Here's a refresher...

Kanto:
Pidgey/Spearow
Rattata
Caterpie/Weedle

Johto:
Pidgey/Spearow/Hoot-Hoot
Rattata/Sentret
Caterpie/Weedle/Spinarak

Hoenn:
Taillow/Wingull
Zigzagoon/Poochyena
Wurmple

Sinnoh:
Starly
Bidoof
Kricketot

Unova
Pidove
Patrat/Lillipup/Purloin
Sewaddle/Venipede


Personally, I loved Johto's line-up. And after looking at the list, surprisingly I'm most pleased with Unova's. A region I wasn't too fond of actually.

I'm not sure if I missed any other regionals that would fit in here.

Bird would be Starly, Bug would be Sewaddle, Rodent would be Rattata.
 

Arlo

...and so on...
In my opinion:
Bird would be Starly/Staravia/Staraptor. It's not even really a competition for me - it's just that much better than any of the others. The only one that even compares is Rufflet/Braviary in Unova, which doesn't show up until near the end.
Rodent would be Zigzagoon/Linoone. Not only one of the most useful HM slaves ever, but at least a decent battler. Close second to Bidoof/Bibarel, for the same reasons.
Insect would be Sewaddle/Swadloon/Leavanny. Like the Starly line, it's not even a competition.

What about Natu and Ledyba for Johto?

Anyway, my favourite lineup overall would have to be Hoenn, since I like Taillow, Wingull, Zigzagoon and Poochyena. Second would have to be Unova as I like Lillipup and the bugs are actually somewhat usable.

Individually, bird would be Starly/Staravia/Staraptor, 'rodent' would have to be either Poochyena, Zigzagoon, or Lillipup. Probably Poochyena or Lillipup. And the bug would have to be Sewaddle/Swadloon/Leavanny. Venipede's cool too but I haven't used it yet, whereas I used Leavanny in Black 2 and liked it.

Bird:
Either Staraptor or Unfezant, but I hate them all except Noctowl for being too generic

Rodent:
Watchog (again, a lot of these are really generic)

Bug:
Scolipede

My favorite lineup is Hoenn's, but individually:


Bird: Taillow/Wingull (ARGHH I CAN'T DECIDE)
Rodent: Zigzagoon
Bug: Spinarak

Johto and Hoenn's line ups are my favorite. The only reason Kanto didn't make it for me was because Johto was pretty much the same thing, but with some of my favorite pokemon.

Hoothoot because it's the coolest of the birds, Wurmple because of it's split evolutions and Bidoof for its in battle uselessness, more so than the other rodents

My favourite lineup is Hoenn's! The Pokémon I like most are:
Starly as bird, Sentret as rodent and Wurmple as bug. *-*

Bird: Taillow-Swellow (Nice color scheme, both in its normal and shiny forms)
Rodent: Sentret (I'm not really fan of its evolution though)
Bug: Venipede line, especially Scolipede, who is really cool.

I don't consider Poochyena and Purrloin lines as rodents though, they should belong in another category IMO. Anyway, I think Mightyena and Liepard are pretty cool, especially the latter.

You forgot early Electric and Regional Two Staged Fish :p

For bird I would say Hoothoot. I don't really care for Hoothoot but I love Noctowl. For rodent I would say say Sentret because I love Furret. As for bug...kind of tied. Sewaddle is one of my favorite Pokémon ever, but I prefer Beautifly and Dustox over Leavanny, although I still love Leavanny.

What about Natu and Ledyba for Johto?

Poll is meant for the Generic ones.

I forgot about Ledyba. I'd say Natu is too late in game for it to be considered.

I thought Pidgey was better than Spearow. But only because Spearow evolved once, if it get a second one it'd be far better.
