Pokémon you often forget exist

[CosmicDragon]

Dedenne and Togedemaru. I forgot that I forget these Pokemon exist, so I had to look at the list of Pokemon to remember which Pokemon I forget exists. Whoops...

Out of all the Pikachu clones I find the Hoenn ones to be the most forgettable, although Togedemaru is also pretty unmemorable. Dedenne on the other hand is one of the few Pikachu clones that I have no trouble remembering, because I'll never get over the fact that it looks like a chibified Raichu.

I actually thought Dedenne was going to evolve into Raichu when it was first revealed. They do look very similar, don’t they?

Carnivine.

An obscure, random and competitively awful Pokémon that is not only forgettable and doesn’t have much presence in the game, but it’s also kind of awkward looking and doesn’t feel like a Pokémon.

I only remember it because of James' Carnivine from the anime.

I thought the same thing with the Trapinch family. I was like, “How does a… crab thing evolve into a dragonfly and then a flying desert dragon?” Hoenn had some weird evolutions.

Trapinch is an antlion (ant lion). They are real things that dig steep pits in the soil/sand to catch ants, and they wait at the bottom of the pit submerged with their jaws facing up. I used to catch them as a kid. Google image it. And they happen to be the larval stage of a lacewing, similar to a dragonfly. Which is what Flygon and Vibrava are: lacewings. Which is why it’s weird they aren’t bug type.

Oh, I get it, DRAGON-fly. Which is why Flygon is a Dragon type. Still not a Flying type, though.

And it was always trying to eat him, like his Victreebel used to do. XD

Mainly mythical pokemon and definitely added ones like zeraora . They're not even really in the game so yeah...

Zeroara came out waaaay toi late in the SM cycle that I always forget about it.

Volcanion, despite its unique typing, isn't a Pokemon I particularly remember

True, as I also found it very disappointing for the first Pokemon with said typing, not only because I've never liked its design, but also because it had no backstory whatsoever and couldn't learn Surf and Waterfall for some reason.

Volcanion was practically overshadowed by Magearna, both in the movie and in real life. I feel like once Magearna debuted nobody even cared about Volcanion anymore since by that point Gen VII hype was beginning in earnest, plus Volcanion had already been known for about two years due to people leaking its data from X/Y.

And I don't even remember Magearna that much since while a mythical Pokemon it's not an event Pokemon. Deoxys fits that in ORAS, but it had a sub-plot to help(and was already a decade old at that point)

What they did with Deoxys in OR/AS was pretty neat. I think it was like a reference to the old rumours back when R/S/E were out that when the Mossdeep rocket launched a certain number of times (usually 99 or 100), you could fly to the moon and battle Deoxys.

Maybe, but I think it's more likely a reference to Destiny Deoxys with the whole Rayquaza v Deoxys

Well, at least that rumour did come true eventually. Now for that Mew under the truck in Vermilion...

 

[derekrandall]

I don't remember which Pokemon I've forgotten about

This^^ lol. How can I list them if they are forgotten?!

 

[TheWanderingMist]

I don't forget them. Listing them all might take me a while, but I can definitely remember each one.
