With the 4th Generation, we get a whole bunch of new Pokemon. Of course, like every new generation people are going to make comparisons to the previous generations, so let's settle it once and for all. Choose out of each of the following similar Pokemon which you prefer, and why:
Flygon Vs. Kaburaisu
Two Ground/Dragon types (although Kaburaisu is actually Dragon/Ground).
This is the comparison most people are making, so which do you prefer?
One has decent stats and Levitate.
The other has much better stats, but only Sand Viel.
Medicham Vs. Erureido
Two Psychic/Fightings.
One has the Pure Power ability, allowing for devestating attacks, and evenly balanced stats.
The other has much better base attack, even better than when Medicham's Pure Power is applied, and a much more varied move-pool.
Forretress Vs. Minomadamu(Steel)
Two Bug/Steels.
One has amazing defence and attack, and gets great attacks.
The other... Ok, I can't think of anything.
Sableye Vs. Mirakuge
Two Dark/Ghosts.
One has the cool typing and a good move-pool.
The other has the same typing, and better stats.
Blaziken Vs. Goukazaru
Another comparison made frequently. Two Fire/Fightings, both starters.
One has better attack.
One has better defence.
Both have great move-pools.
Every other Water/Ground Vs. Toritoidon
Yet another Water/Ground Pokemon. Wooper was so cool when he first came around, but now the typing is common. Thankfully Lanturn and Ludicolo kept their typings to themselves.
Aggron Vs. Toridepusu
This was a comparison I saw when Tatetopusu was first revealed. There both just Steel/Rocks, that's where these similarities end.
Those are the main comparisons I could think of. My answers are:
Flygon - Trapinch is cool, and so is Flygon. The only Pokemon evolution line where it's best to not evolve him right to the end.
Erureido - Just because the Ralts line is my fav. Plus, his stats are so much better.
Forretress - Guess why.
Mirakuge - I like his stats a lot. Shame he doesn't get some of Sableye's nifty moves.
Goukazaru - One word. Scheme.
Swampert - The only Water/Ground I like.
Neither - Not so sure of this one.
