"Unloved" Pokemon

And by unloved, I mean ones that people tend to overlook, ones that are outclassed by other pokemon e.t.c. So, do you use them?

I do. Always loved Stantler, but alas, outclassed by plenty.

I think Tentacruel is often overlooked. But the one I actually like is Bibarel. I used one in Pokémon Pearl. A lot of people hate Bibarel for whatever reason. It's not the best Pokémon in the world, but I like it, plus I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was a water type as well.

Normal types are the most over-looked, but it's my favorite type. Especially Bibarel, Linoone (my avatar), Bouffalant, Exploud and many others.

I think I've seen this thread before...

Jynx. Jynx definitely needs more love.

It is loved, it's a great Pokemon in RU and is viable in Ubers though I'm not sure about the usage statistics.

Furthurmore I'm pretty sure every Pokemon has there own big enough fanbase, after all were just one site compared to the other loads of Pokemon fans out there.

I actually forgot Barboach and Whiscash existed for a little while.

So yeah, Whiscash needs more love...

You're not a competitive player, are you? Tentacruel is everywhere in OU and it's very annoying with its Dream World ability.

Anyway, Garbodor and Crustle take the prize. Garbodor may look extremely ugly, but it's still good in-game, while Crustle is a good hazards user and a great Shell Smasher(both in-game and competitively). Also, in-game, so many people use Gardevoir over Alakazam for absolutely no reason. Alakazam is great even before gen IV.

Jynx kinda sucks in RU. OU and Ubers are where Jynx is at, with Drizzle Politoed/Kyogre everywhere it can turn into a pseudo-Darkrai.

Azumarill. Despite previously being kinda bad, with Huge Power and Drizzle Politoed it can really do some damage. It's sad that it's still not used much :'[

I don't know, I feel this may have to do with how you don't have to trade to get it.

Nintendo needs to give Flareon some more love.

Nah, I don't play competitively. I never see Tentacruel in peoples teams, but I guess it's in way more teams than I thought.

But Flareon! I agree that Flareon needs more love, for sure. Mightyena too. I used Mightyena in Ruby, but I rarely see it being used.

The electric rodents, I don't care if they're as frail as a wet piece of paper I still use them because they're as cute as heck. I used an Emolga in my Black 2 playthrough and he was a decent member of my team. He was actually more useful than my Samurott and Arcanine! (Though it could be because they're movesets weren't that good). If I ever play a Hoenn or Sinnoh game again I plan on using a Minun or Pachirisu on my team.

There are many unloved pokemon. Poor weak NU and RU pokemon... at least your good enough for in-game teams.

Grass-types tend to be the least loved because they have more weaknesses than advantages.

Glaceon has been neglected do many times, and those who do not know of his great defenses suffer dearly! >:D
