This question has bothered me for a long time. It's something I always thought about in the back of my head but I never really had anybody to talk to about it before, so...hello other people who like Pokemon!
Anyway, why do you think there are pokemon that are so bad they borderline useless? Why not make every pokemon at least competitive or useful in some way? There always seems to be a few pokemon in every generation that are just so terrible that there's basically no reason to ever have them on your team, or pokemon like the current pokemon of the week (Archeops) with an ability so bad that it basically ruins the entire pokemon.
I understand that they can't all be amazing, or even all be good, but you would think they could all be at least average enough that you could use them without feeling like you're harming your team. A great example of this is Luvdisc, why does it even exist? My fiance loves how it looks, she even used one for a while, but no matter how cute she just couldn't justify it's position on her team when basically any water pokemon out there was just flat out better.
So what's your opinion?
