The Overrated Poll xD

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

There are four main Pokémon that people find to be ridiculously overrated. Others, like Scyther and Absol, are quite overrated, but they come nowhere these overrated juggernauts ;D

So, the main question: Which do you prefer? Charizard, Kingdra, Shuckle, or Umbreon?

Personally, I like Kingdra most. Out of the four, it's probably the most useful, and it actually does look rather cool.

Also, please keep the bashing to a minimum. I'm not really all that fond of those four Pokémon, but I can say my favorite without mindlessly bashing the others. There are people here who like these Pokémon (which is why they're overrated in the first place ;P).

EDIT: lol, this has nothing to do with the Poll. But, anyhow, at the time of posting, there are 666 Threads in the Poképolls. That means this is the 666th Thread xD

I like Umbreon the most, although Kingdra isn't half-bad either.

 

[Tropical Spirit]

Heh, I *knew* you would do this sooner or later. ;P

Anyways, out of those, I like Umbreon. Why? Because Charizard and Shuckle deserve to die, while Kingdra looks like a freaky drunk seahorse. Umbreon, on the other side, is actually pretty cute. Not to mention that, according to E-Quizzes, I *am* one. <3

...And the fact that I love Espeon x Umbreon really helps, too. </rabidshipper>

Kingdra is fugly, but I hate it less than Charetard, Dumbreon, and Suckle.

 

[Orion-Sama]

I'd say Scyther is much more overrated than all of those. Vastly. At least you don't see anyone shunning Kingdra in favor of Seadra, which happens with Scyther. But oh well... probably just my huge hatred acting on.

I go with Kingdra as well. I still like it, per se. The only non-Legend Dragon that's NOT 4x Weak to Ice. It was MUCH better in the GSC days of stall, though. Looks quite cool and funny. And is quite the force when it wants to be. I'll always remember those Colosseum people that used Kingdra. Were they hard... @_@

Then would be Charizard. You don't see so much overration anymore. For the C-Bots did a superb job. And I still prefer him over Sceptile...

Then is Umbreon. I like defense, though Umbreon just goes overboard, becoming a very sub-par attacking force. It's among my least favorite Eeveelutions.

Shuckle isn't even worth mentioning...

 

[cecil]

Don't care what everybody say, but I voted Shuckle. Highest Def and high(not highest,though) Sp.Def, Toxic+Double Team+Protect+Rest...useful for a main defend tank.

 

[Volteon]

out of the four:

Looking:
Kingdra>Charizard>Umbreon>Schuckle

Creativity:
Kingdra>Schuckle>Charizard>Umbreon

Battling:
Kingdra>Umbreon>Charizard>Schuckle

Kingdra is my close first favorite dragon pokémon, it was my dream pkémon in GSC days and it is a great pokémon to start in double battles.
Umbreon is a good battler, but it loses in the creativity topic, I don´t know why it got that attack that finishes with xic and starts with to...
Schuckle, a very creative pokémon, maybe the 3rd among all rock pokémon (losing to lunatone and solrock), but it´s low HP shows it´s main weakness: seismic toss.
Charizard...: Slighty creative, but isn´t as good as king of the dragons.

 

[Evanji Axu]

Absol is damn overrated. He should SO be in this poll.

 

[Tazzler]

Shuckle because I hate all the other ones and its pretty cute actually.

 

[Gazmof]

Absol is damn overrated. He should SO be in this poll.

Agreed.

Though why is Shuckle in this poll? Have I missed something? I never thought of Shuckle as being overrated ;

 

[Kabuto]

People say its the best defender but many such as Bliss outrank Shuckle. Anyway I like Charizard.

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Quote-fest ftw.

Agreed.

Though why is Shuckle in this poll? Have I missed something? I never thought of Shuckle as being overrated ;

People like to mimic Lucy's Shuckle. Dern good thing Lucy doesn't DT, else there'd be an even bigger abundance of Double Team on NetBattle xD

I'd say Scyther is much more overrated than all of those. Vastly. At least you don't see anyone shunning Kingdra in favor of Seadra, which happens with Scyther. But oh well... probably just my huge hatred acting on.

Well, the difference is, Scizor and Scyther both work, since Scizor's Stats are really just an alteration of Scyther's Base Stats. But I do see your point. Scizor really does just about everything Scyther does and then some.

Meh, I dunno. Despite the rather populous fan following, I don't see as much of Scyther as I do of The Four(lol official name IMO ).

Heh, I *knew* you would do this sooner or later. ;P

That's interesting, because I just thought of it tonight xD You know me better than I do °_°

[Grass Guardian]

Orion I always look forward to reading your posts because I agree with just about everything you say ^.^

Actually I love Kingdra and I don't think it's overrated at all. I think it's a great pokemon. You all gotta admit that Kingdra can hold itself in battle much better then a charizard can. Kingdra is my star pokemon on my battle frontier team. He single handedly defeated Tucker's Swampert and Charizard. No, Kindra may not be the most powerful water pokemon, but at least he can hold his own in battle. If anything I think Milotic is much more overrated then Kingdra is. In fact I don’t recall anyone on these forums “glorifying” Kingdra as many people seem to complain. If anything I hear more people bashing Kingdra.

 

[~Ghostwriter~]

Out of the four, I like Umbreon best (though I've never thought of it or Shuckle to be 'overrated', but...maybe that's just me). After that, Charizard.

 

[SpaceFlare]

Charizard.

Belly Drum Zard can sweep if it is played right. Especially with Magneton support to take down annoying physical walls like Skarmory, Forretress, etc.

 

[Deathskully]

WTF? Shuckle. Shuckle is no way fricken ovverated, you don't know how much it gets bashed on forums. Every RMT thread I have seen with shuckle the people who are rating say to immediately ditch shuckle as it's crap.

Umbreon works good since it can mean look something and baton pass to counters, Bellyzard can only work if you have a Memento'r but I prefer Kingdra because it does do some damage if you're lucky.

 

[AJ Flibble]

Umbreon. I hate Shuckle, and Charizard, and Kingdra isn't that overrated to me, because so many people have said it's overrated, no one likes it and then it doesn't get any love. However, I like it, but Umbreon more, simply because it's an old favourite, and it makes a change from my many offensive Pokemon in the games. And, he looks awesome in my opinion, cute and sinister!

Kingdra can actually do something unlike Shuckle, he just doesn't have much of a movepool, he's my favourite Dragon, and well rounded.

 

[Freeze Knight]

Umbreon... a good tank and a Baton Passer...
I hate Charizard (check my sig)!!

Kingdra isn't bad either but Umbreon is better IMO...

 

[Komedic Konservationist]

I don't think Shuckle and Kingdra are overrated whatsoever. Like Deathskully said, everywere I look people are bashing Shuckle and complaining about how crap it is. It's just a worm in an apple, without any aesthetic appeal to n00bs, and it is little more than a rarely encountered annoyance.
From that list, I'm partial to both Kingdra and Shuckle.... Kingdra because it's an exotic, abstract dragon with extremely cool typing, and Shuckle because it's cute and somewhat funny. I also made an awesome Shuckle recolour some time ago, of which I have always been proud.
I think the list should go; Charizard, Umbreon, Scyther, and Pikachu. I know Pikachu is hated here in the forums..... but there are many idiotic 6-year old Pokemon fans outside of the internet who worship the sickly little rat. I'm also starting to think Donphan is a little overrated.

 

[Sika]

Kingdra. I didn't know it was overrated. It's not that strong, it's not that cool.

It's only my favorite.
