Pokémon Pokémon You Hated But Now Like?

[MapleSilver]

I used to sort of dislike Girafarig. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't particularly fond of it. Then I decided to use one in my Crystal team and ended up really liking it.

On that same team I also had an Electrode, and that made me like the Pok?mon a bit more. Being able to explode on everything you see made for a fun game.

I used to hate Sylveon because I thought that it wasn't a necessary Eeveelution. Like, whenever I looked at Eeveelution pictures, it would make me mad that they included Sylveon on it even though it was a canon Pokemon. Then, I used it and realized how much I really liked it. To be honest, I'll probably go through a phase like this for any new Eeveelution.

Zigzagoon, it'd be the only Pokemon I'd ever see in Dungeon Blue, which is a silly reason to dislike a Pokemon. I just got so tired of seeing it everywhere! Anyway, Zigzagoon is cute and is just doing it's thing, it doesn't deserve it.

I really didn't like Poochyena; the grunts have them as a go-to so I ended up really loathing them. Then I played Emerald and ended up adding a Poochyena to my team which later evolved into a Mightyena that proved to be very useful in my journey. c:

I really didn't like Dedenne. Like I felt it was just like Pikachu and there was no need to make pokemon exactly like Pikachu - to me -
But after a while I'm really loving this pokemon! I dunno how it changed me, but I find it so cute and I love it's ability cheek pouch I think that's what it's called?
But yeah, now I find it so adorable.

Yeah, I thought Togedemaru was just another Pikachu clone and I didn't think it was amazing.. and then I used one and realized that it can pretty much destroy anything that isn't a ground type. I used Togedemaru on my Moon team and I'm using big boi (totem) Togedemaru on my Ultra Moon team.

Muk, Shiftry, and Beautifly all come to mind. I didn't hate them initially, per se, but I certainly wasn't a huge fan. However, after using each of them in game over the past few years Ive gained an appreciation for them. Beautifly in particular is higher on my list.

I was the same with Togedemaru as well~Until I used one and was training it for certain egg move possibilities and it feels so good to have one on my team~

swampert i used to think it was stupid but then i used one and it was awesome i still hait and its 13 levels higher than the rest of my team it was that good

Gonna say Delphox. Back then when X/Y came out and Delphox got shown, I really didn't like it. While I found Fennekin and Braixen pretty nice, something bothered me about that Pokemon, as I imagined Fennekin's different. It took me while till I start to give it a chance, as I wanted to have new Pokemon in my team since I had all the time the same ones with me. And so I decided to let my Braixen evolve and after all, I found Delphox not that bad at all, I started to get used to it. It's actually a nice Pokemon after all.

Ironically enough, there?s more Pokemon I liked but now hate than there are ones that I hated but now like, lmao. One that I used to hate but now like that comes to mind though is Piplup. I used to not really care for its design and for other various reasons I didn?t like it, but after having used it before in some attempted Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke Challenges and knowing that its final evo is a unique water/steel type, I can safely say I enjoy Piplup?s line alongside Chimchar?s line. I love gen four, but the only one I don?t like is Turtwig?s line and Torterra, and I don?t think that?s ever going to change.

While not hate, I used to not really care for doduo much... but that was before I got my shiny.

 

[Alienfish]

idk.. i wouldn't say hate but now that i got a shiny mimikyu i love it aha and even if i can't use it properly yet it's dang pretty

 

[mellachime]

Hmm I dont think I ever hated a pokemon but there's ton that i looked past and didnt think much of but then later on they grew on me more. Like morelull and shiinotic i didnt really care for at first but seeing them in the anime made me see it differently, i think its absolutely adorable now! ive grown to appreciate these pokemon.

For a while, I never paid so much attention to Leafeon, as it was one of those Pokemon which I
didn't liked at first because of it's design. I found it kinda boring. But now I think it's overall quite
cute.
