You know, I didn't used to see the appeal in Metagross before, but now I think I'm starting to like it. I didn't like it much because it didn't look "cute", and cuteness was the main thing that I noticed in Pokemon before. Apart from that, getting Metagross in the Generation 3 games was pretty difficult since we had to level up Beldum all the way to level 45 (and I used to HATE training back then). Now though, I can see that even though it isn't "cute", it still has a lot of power. I've seen people talking about its amazing stats, and I can't help but respect its strength. I've even started using one that I got in a trade, and it is pretty reliable, so I like it a lot more. I'd say that it's my 3rd favorite Hoenn Pokemon now.
