Unpopular Pokemon opinions V2 (READ FIRST POST)

I personally prefer Galarian Slowking to the regular form. Two main reasons I think its design concept is cool and it isn't a trade with item evolution.

I like how the Shellder clearly takes over and becomes both the eyes and the brain. Galarian Slowking is the new Parasect only without the unfortunate 4x weakness to Fire and Flying types which are both extremely common types.

In the games only right? Because Metapod can move in the cartoon from what I remember.

In the Pokedex. In the anime it did move.

My unpopular Pokemon #015:
The metallic part on Beedrill's arm looks superficial compared to other natural Gen 1 Pokemon, though not to the Digimon level.

Pokemon should been like BOTW back when XY launched

My unpopular Pokemon opinion #016-#018:
Pidgey's evolution line should be 2 stages only. Pidgeot is a pointless stage.

Pidgeot’s name confuses me because it seems so awkward to say it is the evolved form of Pidgeotto.

Some evolutions have degraded certain pokemon. I liked Magmar when it was just that.

 

[pacman000]

Didn't like baby Pokémon when they first came out. When playing the game, I tried to catch the earliest evolution of everything, since I wanted to raise all my Pokémon myself. Adding baby forms of already-existent Pokémon ruined what I'd already done.

Besides; it contradicted the anime, since they already showed a baby Pikachu.

Not always. Roselia looked like it was an evolved form in Gen III and Wynaut added new moves to Wobbuffet.

It just as easily could have been a Pikachu with dwarfism

And we know many Gen II Pokémon were original intended to be in Gen I but limitations made things difficult. There was Ho-oh (which I have my own theory that the best known Missingno was originally supposed to be), breeding, a female playable character, and genders for most Pokémon.

My unpopular Pokemon opinion #019 & #020:
I was never bothered by the over-abundance of Rattata in Pokemon Go. After all, they're easy to evolve for grinding EXP.

 

[Luthor]

Cap Pikachu feels less fun this gen. It's still cool but without it's signature Z-move it feels like its missing part of it.

 

[Mega Ampharos the Dragon]

Ampharos should've been a Dragon in GSC and that I prefer Ghost over Flying for Decidueye, even if it is literally a bird

Same for Lizardon as he should be freaking "Dragon" type not flying type back in the gen 1 era

 

[Monox D. I-Fly]

My unpopular Pokemon opinion #021 & #022:
The Spearow line should be exchanged with the Rattata line in the Pokedex, continuing the bird theme from Pidgey line.

Another unpopular opinion:

I want HMs back...

Another unpopular opinion:

I want HMs back...

I only want certain HMs with a couple of moves becoming HMs. I want Defog and Rock Climb back along with Foresight and Telekinesis becoming new ones. Foresight would act like the Scopes and used to find hidden Pokémon and also to reveal hidden dangers and eliminate illusions during certain puzzles such as a maze inside a crumbling ruins of a skyscraper. Telekinesis would be used to move special statues and giant objects from one place to another from a distance to solve a puzzle. For example, you are looking for a Legendary Pokémon and you need to get across a giant pit but you don’t see anything you can use on your side to get across and there are no alternative paths to the other side. You also see a gigantic orb on the ground and a bunch of giant pillars. You then use Telekinesis to move the orb and make it run into a pillar and knock it over to cause a chain reaction that forces the other pillars to topple over and to create a bridge. I know Rock Climb is not that good in battle but I just enjoy the idea of climbing up walls to get to new areas.

My unpopular Pokemon opinion #022 - #034:
As I said above, the Spearow line should be exchanged with the Rattata line and the Pikachu line should come after Rattata's followed with Sandshrew's and both Nidoran's line gathering all the nearby mouse lines in one place with the Ekans line after them all.

Dynamax Adventures reminded me of an unpopular opinion I have...

I absolutely adore the UBs and would like to see more of them. No one is convincing me otherwise. Celesteela and Xurkitree in particular are some of my favourite Pokemon in the entire series. There is no UB I dislike, but there's a few I think could be better.
