Scyther because he sounds cooler and he isn't a sitting duck. Can't beat blades on arms.

Were they?
Why you dragging Muk into this?

But Dugtrio is awesome...wait, that's not Dugtrio.
I'll stop joking around for a second to elaborate a bit more. Gen I had the most creative mixed with pleasing design to me. Not every Pokemon has to be creative to be a good design, but I was specifically talking about designs such as Scyther, Mewtwo, Zapdos, Charizard, Bulbasaur, Blastoise, Wartortle, etc.
Generic Pokemon can look good, but the ones in Black and White aren't appealing for me.

Electabuzz. Or is this a trick question?

I love how they got the Pokemon with pseudo blackface out of the way in the first generation.
Yep, just what we needed.

$80 for Growlithe? I DON'T THINK SO. And -holy crap- at the $350 Vaporeon.

I think so. I was going crazy searching for stuff and then it kind of stopped loading anything. :/
EDIT: There is a $500 Red Gyarados plush. Who has that kind of money for one plush toy?
EDIT 2: Forget that, there is a $900 "Pokemon 2010 Daisuki Fan Club Espeon holofoil promo card" for sale!

You are definitely right on them being creepy, I just looked at few on ebay.

Utilize the ebay of your location and you should be able to find one like that.

Arcanine merchandise sucks. The knock-off plush toys have no noses, and the actual Banpresto version they are modeled after is rare and expensive.

I think for some reason I always buy my plushies a bit more expensive. To be honest, I'd rather buy from a trusted seller than get a bootleg.

You stepped into the wrong neck of the woods, my woods, those that stretch around Castle Wiseblade.
I willingly sacrificed my Hoothoot regiment for my liege.
I actually do, which is a big step up from my current dislike of the nostril monster.

Stocking knows all about those nostril "desserts".

A future spin-off series will feature you and "The Professor" (Beef). Grief-stricken by Wisey's demise, the two of you genetically alter a chosen Hoothoot to create the beastly CACTOWL! I'm again put to the test--with an unlikely cast of new and old allies--to stop the destruction of the second generation of Pokémon game cartridges!
I will almost have a mental breakdown, during which the ghost of ScraftyDevil appears to bolster my confidence. A real tearjerker moment.

Kinda looks like a Lillipup plush.
Also, Poliwrath is awesome. Don't be hating, Wiseblade.

I'll be a double agent, pretending to ally myself with you in order to strike for Wiseblade when you all least suspect it.
This is daft.

As long as it's a two parter where us villains "win" the first round, Cactowl is just too powerful, pumped full of rare candies and protein. Your loss in part 1 is why you need the motivational ghost speech.
Also Wiseblade's spirit was placed into a mecha Empoleon.
Daft? no this is incredible.
...You traitor.

The Professor, Beef, "trusted" advisor to Lord Andrex, berates his leader for continually shirking responsibility.
The idea is put forth to democratically elect a leader.
Shortly after a landslide victory, President Andrex is assassinated. His oldest "friend," Beef, steps up to create order amidst chaos.
Wiseblade takes his throne.
Unrest develops under Wiseblade's rule. Mostly concerning the outlaw and destruction of all Gen II material and forced hourly worship periods of Gen III.
GreenScar is never heard from again after this.
The Arcanine meets a street-smart Scrafty looking to make a difference in the world.
The plans are made. The two comrades can see visions of the future shining brightly. But the Noctowl spy is listening in.
The battle begins at Castle Wiseblade.
The Arcanine and Scrafty reach the top floor, ready to face the black-soul Empoleon.
After the dust settles, Wiseblade's generals still prove to have some fight left in them.

Hey! That's not true!
Arcanine stands on four legs! That counts, right? :\

You cut me deep, Beef. :<

My Ghrost then delivers you a cryptic message along with a broken TM93, the only weapon that can truly end Wiseblade's tyrrany. You must go on a quest to the mythical Zeroth Keep in order to repair it.
