Top 3 Pokemon You Do and Don't want to see in the Sinnoh League

ShinyCharyZard

Too old for your rubbish..
League (Do)...

Feraligatr - Belongs to a league only rival, similar to how Tyson had Sceptile and Donphan.
Gallade - We are yet to see it in action and I think it would be an amazing competitor...the same rival?
Pidgeot - Would love to see one finally kick some real butt with attacks such as Heat Wave and Brave Bird.

League (Don't)...

Steelix - Seen enough of it.
Hariyama - They're everywhere these days
Lucario - Hate the thing...Sorry, but I do.

Grand Festival (Do)...

Ambipom - Dawns...Returns briefly to help her throughout the GF.
Ledian - Could do amazingly in a contest. Would love to see one with Dawn, but as long as we see it somewhere, I don't mind.
Probopass - Something you wouldn't expect to see in a contest, could be pretty cool.

Grand Festival (Don't)...

Milotic - I love the thing, but we do see an awful lot of it.
Leafeon - I want to see it kick some league butt instead of doing poncy appeals.
Beautifly - Seen enough of it.
 

Shadow Gamer

The Shadow Trainer
Do:
- With HG/SS coming out I would like to see all 3 starters Feraligatr, Typhlosion, and Meganium.

Don't
- Swampert because it's butt ugly
- Steelix becuase it gets too much face time
- Toxicroak because it's just as ugly as Swampert
 

Meganium

Well-Known Member
I forgot about the grand Festival

Don't:

Milotic: Its always a powerhouse and its like three coordinators top Pokemon. We get it its beautiful and can do cool moves, but if you expect me to believe Piplup has a chance against it... come on.

Roserade/Roselia: Drew used all those types of appeals like crazy in the last season and did a good job then, but lets leave it at that.

Delcatty: I thought after our exposure to Skitty we would be done, but they squeezed this guy in there anyway. Alright but now this cat has had its day. Since Glameow, or possibly Purugly if Zoe's evolves, is due for an appearance, we can cut down on the kitties.

Do:
Spinda: Since battling may not be as interesting to watch, I think moves like Teeter Dance or Faint Attack could be cool to see as a contest appeal.

Togekiss: I think that contests would be an awesome place to see this guy debuted. I know the Toge- line has been given almost an super-rare quality to it in the anime, but come on with its range of moves an possibilities it could do any number of things for appeals and in the contest battles would be sick to watch.

Gallade: I know it would be cool to see in the Sinnoh league as well, but having a good fighting type in contests isn't all that common. The way Gallade moves and battles could be cool to watch like a kung-fu or swordsman kind of thing. And since it can use psychic attacks to its appeals would be cool to watch as well. Note: this is not an invitation for a Medicham appearance.

Dojyaaa~~aan
Ugly is an argument? They look pretty cool to me both of them so i wouldn't mind seeing either of them there :p.

Grand Festival:

Do:

1. Meganium - I want to see some grass appeals and i would like a Meganium doing contests
2. Sentret/Furret - just i would like Dawn to get a Sentret.
3. Mamoswine - i want to see him doing contests

Dont:

1. Roredade Line - Overused in my opinion
2. Milotic - Once again
3. Fightning pokemon i just dont like theyre appeals(Machoke ,etc).
 
I want to see:

absol-its just cool
shiftry-haven't seen much of it
tangrowth-want to see one in battle

Dont want to see:

steelix
roserade
floatzel
 

netobeto

the legenday master
Do
tyranitar. cause we never seen in on a league before
ferligator...same as tyranitar
gyarados...cause its cool looking

dont
raticate family
beedrill family
crobat family
cause they are all weak.....
 

MechaBulba

King of the Monsters


League:

DO

Dunsparce - needs the much needed spotlight, would also be great to see it in battle using powerful attacks
Vespiqueen - I really want to see how Attack and Defense order would work in a battle situation. Will it still summon Combee to attack? Is that Legal?
Smergle - Same as Dunsparce, could also have very interesting movepools. Maybe Ash can battle tow of them in a double battle. One using supporting moves and the other using attacking.

DON'T

Steelix - It has been used way to much, we don't need to see Ash battle yet another one. Give other Steel types a chance like Fortress or Mawile
Rydon - Its boring and its used to much
Hariyama - Overused and Ugly, Ash dose not need to battle yet another one.


Grand Festival:

DO

Spinda - Would love to watch it pull off some bizarre battle/appeal, it could be a great match-up for Dawns Bunny.
Shedinja - Would like to see one pull of a creepy and spooky appeal.
Bayleaf/Maganium - to get Dawn excited for a Chikorita.

DON'T

Milotic - Overused, Boring has already shined in both Appeals and Battles
Clefairy - Ugly, Creepy looking and an extremely boring and overused Pokemon. And if I see one more metronome self destruct I will scream.
Eevee and its non-Leafeon Evos - Eevee is overused and boring, its 1st and 2nd gen evos have all had their fair share of screentime and we have already had (or will have) 2 Eeveeultion contest battles in D/P, plus all the "Eevee use Shadowball" time with May.
 

Banana_Split

Darkness is Rising
Grand Festival

Do:
Leafeon - Never seen and one of my favorite Eeveelutions
Ninetales - Beautiful Pokemon, need much more screentime
Persian - same as Ninetales
Rapidash - same as Ninetales

Milotic - Seen enough now.
Glaceon - Same as Milotic
Glameow - Same as Milotic.
 

IcyKerpymon

Lan challenges you!
Want to see
1 - Milotic (cause everyone is sick of it and I'd want it to beat Pikachu this time)
2 - Glaceon (cause it's my second favourite)
3 - Shedinja (what happened to these guys?)

Don't want to see:
1 - anything already shown at the Hoenn League
2 - powerhouses used by the Gym Leaders (Rampardos, Roserade, Lucario, Floatzel, Drifblim, Bastiodon, Abomasnow and Luxray) and Elite Fours (Drapion, Hippowdon, Infernape, Bronzong and Garchomp).
3 - I've already exceeded the limit.

Writer's Block
Sinnoh League

DO:
1. Persian/Ninetales/Houndoom- Stunning and Powerful. Not showcased enough.
2. Tyranitar/Gallade/Flygon- Bad*** and no screentime.
3. Rapidash/Dunsparce/Porygon- They just need the spotlight.

Don't:
1. Lucario line/Garchomp line- They're boring now but watch us see one.
2. Steelix/Salamence/Gyrados- Big bad pokemon that overshadow other powerful ones.
3. Arcanine/Metagross/Scizor- I love all three of these but give them a break.



Grand Festival

Do:
1. Leafeon/Tropius/Tangrowth/Meganium- All capable grass types that could perform interesting appeals. Not to mention they are awesome and need the love.
2. Dragonite/Dusknoir/Feraligatr- Would make interesting appeals.
3. Purugly/Muk/Slugma- Not the most appealing pokemon but we can't have all cute and all beautiful pokemon all the time.

Don't:
1. Eevee Line(except Leafeon)/Roserade Line- Seen enough
2. Milotic/Glameow/Pink Shellos- Again seen enough
3. Bug or Ice types- Everyone and their mama has one. Only exception is if it's undershowcased.
 

deathseer

Oh, u mad bro?
League

DO

Flygon- Not seen so often
Vespiquen- Hasn't been seen enough
Rapidash- Hasn't been seen in a battle situation


DON'T

Steelix- Seen WAY too much
Lucario- Seen enough of him in battles
Machoke/Machamp- They always seem to show up

I just hope they don't overhaul the league with Johto Pokemon because of HG/SS. We get that it coming but they dont have to shove Johto Pokemon down our throats

The Hoenn League had a nice mixture of all three generation's pokemon. They didn't overload on Kanto pokemon. Sinnoh will probably have a nice mix of all 4 region's pokemon


Kanto:
Hitmonlee
Electabuzz
Persian
Growlithe
Meowth
Machamp
Marowak
Charizard
Venomoth
Golduck
Dugtrio

Johto:
Gligar
Girafarig
Steelix
Quilava
Misdreavus
Scizor
Donphan

Hoenn:
Beldum
Metang
Aggron
Swampert
Swalot
Tropius
Sceptile
Walrein
Metagross
Shiftry
Hariyama

There were slightly less Johto pokemon than Kanto or Hoenn so this time we may be lacking a bit on the Kanto and Hoenn pokemon and get a ton of Johto and Sinnoh pokemon.
