Well...this is difficult because most mons I hate I tend to hate their entire evolutionary lines such as Happiny, Vullaby and Gothita. If I did have to pick one though it would have to be Bunnelby into Diggersby. The initial shock of Diggersby being that ugly and literally unusable (didn't know of its HA at the time) made me instantly repulsed by it. It was only when I found out its HA was Huge Power that I began to try to get more used to it. Long story short: I didn't. I still hate its design despite going through 3 more gens of mons.
I agree with you. I'm not too fond of Bunnelby to begin with, but Diggersby is just horrifying. I hate that thing so much.
Crabrawler into Crabominable. I was so excited when a little boxing crab got released and then it evolved into the trash that is Crabominable.
As above, not a fan of Crabrawler to begin with. I hate the permanent black-eye thing it has going on, and Crabominable is just such a failure of a crab to me.
I have a bunch of them.
I think Porygon is up there.
OG Porygon is my perfect boy. Porygon 2 is pretty charming for what it is...they literally just rounded out the edges and turned him into a drinky bird. (I can get behind that). - Porygon Z is an abomination to all things good and proper.
First of all how very dare you.
I love Cyndaquil and like Quilava, but I think Typhlosion kind of sucks. But it’s not really an evolution that I hate.
Two that I do hate, though, are all of Chespin’s evolutions. Chespin’s pretty cute on his own. I didn’t pick him when I played through Kalos, but still. But Quilladin is a complete abomination, and Chesnaught is only a little better. That’s why I decided not to pick him as a starter. Jigglypuff isn’t one of my favorites, but it and Igglybuff are a lot better before they become Wigglytuff. The only reason I don’t hate Wigglytuff is because of PMD.
Also, Buneary is really adorable, I even had one on my team temporarily when I played through Sinnoh. But the internet has ruined its evolution for me. The same can kind of be said about Ralts and Kirlia. All of the Elemental Monkeys are also pretty good until they evolve. I never played through any of the Unova games, but still.
SECONDED.
Chespin is my favourite starter ever, and has been since it got leaked in CoroCoro and I was more than annoyed when Quilladin got leaked. Luckily I like Chesnaught but Quilladin is such a letdown.
Chespin's grown on me over time, but yeah, Quilladin is such an awkward middle form.
I'm still not over the heartbreak over Grookey's evolutionary line tbh. I was firmly in the Grookey Gang back then, and there were so many cute and amazing fan evolutions/fake leaks. I thought that for sure the marching band drummer concept was gonna be it and then.
Then we got Rillaboom.
After that I chose Sobble.
I'm still mad that they made a monkey a starter Pokemon. I despise monkeys.
I have this with most newer starters. Absolutely despise all the Galar and Paldea final starter evos, Skeledirge is especially painful because I love Fuecoco so much. But honestly there are so many Pokémon that start out adorable and amazing and then for whatever reason their evolution just completely loses the plot. What did they do to Lechonk? Who was that for? Just.. bleh.
Other notable mentions:
-Clobbopus! He’s so cute and unique and I just do not like Grapploct at all.
-YAMPER. Precious corgi turns into not only the most uninspired dog Pokémon ever created, but one of the most uninspired Pokémon ever created in general. (no offense to anyone who likes Boltund…if any of of u exist. Lol)
-Darumaka. I don’t dislike Darmanitan but Darumaka is so superior it’s not even funny
-Flittle. It looks like a cool Tamagotchi and then suddenly it’s an ostrich with an Edna Mode haircut. : (
Hi, it's me, a Boltund fan. Which Darmanitan are you talking about, though? Unova or Galar form?
I'm not a big Pokemon player, but I don't care for the duck Pokemon from Scarlet/Violet's evolution. It's probably the dancing and their butt sticking out. I usually don't evolve my Pokemon anyway.
Quaquaval. I get what they're going for, but the toes are viscerally upsetting to me.
Not exactly from Pokemon, but a fan game known as Pokemon Clover. There's this (What they call) Clovermon known as Lasslee which I find extremely adorable, I do however, despise it's evolution Wifemin by a long shot. I'm quite happy it's still a viable Clovermon to keep around in it's unevolved stage knowing it's stats are above average to keep around late game as long as it has an eviolite held and it knows Calm Mind.
Okay, to be fair though, it's a 4chan fan game.
Don’t hate that many myself but I have a friend who loves grookey but hates rillaboom with a burning passion
I hate Grookey, but I love people who hate Rillaboom.
SAME. Why was Litten red instead of orange? Why were the evolutions so……eerily human? I really really thought they were going to be fake. Rowlet isn’t nearly as bad but I still don’t think it’s a very strong starter.
I also hate Salazzle. WHEN will Pokémon designers knock it off with the sexist Pokemon designs? Salandit is one of my favorite Gen 7 Pokemon, but why would female ones grow up to have….seductive hips? Human female secondary sex characteristics? It’s exhausting.
I read somewhere that starting in Gen 6, the starters kinda got designed with a "job" in mind. So you got:
- Chesnaught: Juggernaut/Super-bulky knight.
- Delphox: Witch.
- Greninja: Ninja.
- Decidueye: Archer.
- Incineroar: Heel wrestler.
- Primarina: Singer.
- Rillaboom: Drummer.
- Cinderace: Soccer player.
- Inteleon: Spy.
- Meowscarada: Magician
- Skeledirge: Singer again
- Quaquaval: Dancer
So like, they're all over-designed into these jobs/niches, and the problem with that is that they do end up ;looking way too human.
The thing that annoys me about Delphox is I feel like it’s so close to being a really good design. Like if it had a hat or it’s stick became a broom or something, but they just stopped before it got there
It really is! It's like they
Anyways to answer the overall question, I like Froakie. I like Frogadier. Greninja's enormous tongue disturbs me.
Baxcalibur is the most disappointing pseudo-legendary we've had. What an absolute bore.
I also hate Alolan Dugtrio and Alolan Raichu. I get what they're going for, but they do not appeal to me at all. I hate Greedent, it's uncomfortable to me. Armarouge and Ceruledge are too humanoid too me and too Megaman-esque for me to like.
