The Oldies versus The New(ies)

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. :p
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.

IMO, Flygon, because of Levitate basically.

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.
Erureido with no doubt. It has a great movepool and way better stats then Medicham.

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.
Forretress. I wonder why.:p

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.
Mikaruge of course. It does have a good movepool IMO.

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.
Goukazaru, because of a better movepool and a more effective sweeping mix.

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.
Swampert also.

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.
Aggron, since he has an alot better Attacking stats and movepool.

Flygon Vs. Kaburaisu

Flygon, I like Kaburaisu, being a land-shark and swiming in sand and all..very cool, but I like flygon a bit more, because of its colour-sheme and its eyes...but it is very very close

Medicham Vs. Erureido

It´s a draw. I like both. Medicham is one of my favourite Pokemon since I started to draw it a few years ago and is in my BF team at lvel 100 ( and I HATE training...), Erlade is very cool as well and might become one of my favorites as well. I like its arms and its "hair"...I like to draw it as well.


Forretress Vs. Minomadamu(Steel)

Forr-forr!!
I like Forretress a lot more. Mostly because of the anime, but it is still awesome, isn´t it? I dislike Minomadame´s nose...trying to copy the lovley Usopp...


Sableye Vs. Mirakuge

Hard to say...I need to see Sugimori art of the new Ghost/dark-thingie...


Blaziken Vs. Goukazaru

I really really hate Blaziken since I first saw it...yet, I like the rest of the Torchic-line.
And I dislike monkeys since I´m a child...maybe I´ve got a trauma? ^^;
I still despise the ugly fighting "chicken" more than monkeys, so...I´ll go with the monkey for its awesome Son-Goku theme.


Every other Water/Ground Vs. Toritoidon

Whiscash is my favourite Pokemon and no other water/ground pokemon will ever beat it. end of story.


Aggron Vs. Toridepusu


I think I´ll go with Aggron, because I like his GC-animation when he moves. Godzilla very much ^^ Our fossile friend is too shield-ish for my taste. I like its "head through the wall"-fossil brother more.

Medicham is way better now in team battle. Shuckle uses power trick, and Medi uses Power Swap. His power becomes way passes uber.

Aggron vs. toridepusu
No comparison really, ones a sweeper, ones a wall.

Blaziken vs. Goukuzaru.
Although I like blaziken better Goukuzaru is a better sweeper due to his speed

Actually, the whole Flygon line is based on the Ant-Lion.

Please, can we get this topic back on track. I honestly don't care what Flygon is, I was just saying what I thought it was.

Sableeye vs. Mikaruge
Way better stats for Mikaruge. Could OHKO sableye easily
 

S.Suikun

Thank you, SPPf! :)
Flygon Vs. Kaburaisu
Flygon has those cool goggle thingies. Kaburaisu has a giant cold pill sticking out from each side of his head. Flygon wins.

Medicham Vs. Erureido
You take a male of each and you have the fruitiest humanshape Pokemon around. Erureido wins because of its relation to gardevoir, however.

Forretress Vs. Minomadamu(Steel)
Forretress is a giant head. Minomadamu is a friggin' basket. Everyone knows giant heads are cooler.

Sableye Vs. Mirakuge
Sableye sucks, but it's not as obnoxious to obtain, and I honestly don't know what the hell Mikaruge is supposed to be. Sableye wins.

Blaziken Vs. Goukazaru
I. HATE. MONKEYS. End of discussion. Ugly guy in the chicken suit wins.

Every other Water/Ground Vs. Toritoidon
The existance of Marshtomp alone singlehandedly makes the other Pokemon triumph over Toritoidon, even thouh Toritoidon is actually my highest-leveled Pokemon in pearl.

Aggron Vs. Toridepusu
Toridepesu is just some mountain lion that bashed his face into a slab of cement and it stayed that way. Aggron obviously.

Anyway..

Flygon Vs. Kaburaisu

Gaburaisu.. XP

Medicham Vs. Erureido

Erureido. Medicham has ugly things on its legs...

Forretress Vs. Minomadamu(Steel)

Minomadamu. It can also me grass and ground.

Sableye Vs. Mirakuge

Mirakuge. Never liked Sableye, Never will.

Blaziken Vs. Goukazaru

I HATE monkeys.... I like Chickens better... Blaziken probobly tastes good too... XD

Every other Water/Ground Vs. Toritoidon

The Blue Toritoidon pre-evo. =P

Aggron Vs. Toridepusu

Aggron. I dunno... Toridepusu is kinda dumb looking.
