It's odd because I like bats a lot but none of the pokemon bats do anything for me, well unless I assume that our flying scorpion friend Gliscor is some kind of mutant bat.

Or chain breed with a bunch of different language Pokemon.
The Pokeradar's pretty effective too, or so I've heard.
Grr... things that "don't really seem to like each other much" can still breed as long as they're in the same egg group, right? Trying to get the perfect HP off this tortouga onto a baby shellder, but the eggs just are NOT coming.
Edit: NVM, just got two. Just goes to show, if you leave two things alone long enough, they WILL have sex, even if they hate each other

No, someone traded me one. And it had a stupid ability instead of the right one.
But that's why I got it, it was one of their rejects.Woo, list time.
Sapphire: 385/386 Pokémon legitimately. We never got a 3rd gen Celebi event in the UK
Random encounter/trade with good friend (i.e. not Wi-Fi or at an event) shinies: Zigzagoon (Sapphire), Shuppet (Emerald), Medicham (Pearl), Shroomish (trade) - all fully evolved by now
Pokéradar shinies: Shinx x2, Electrike x3, Budew x1 (all Pearl)
RNGed shinies: far too many to list
My brothers have gotten a few shinies over the years, though they don't play nearly as much any more.
Middle brother: Mawile (Ruby), Camerupt (Ruby), Baltoy (Ruby), Ponyta (trade), Golbat (trade) - again, all fully evolved. I swear he got one every single time he played through Ruby.
Youngest brother: Zigzagoon (Sapphire), Pineco (Sapphire; hatched from egg), Geodude (Platinum) - unfortunately, his Sapphire save got corrupted and he lost the awesome gold Forretress
Favourite Poison-types: ask my mono-Poison team. Scolipede/Golbat/Nidoking/Drapion/Gengar/Toxicroak.
If I had to choose three of them:
1.
2.
3.
There's several Poison-types I like that aren't on the team. Poison-types rock.

Just out of curiosity, is everyone picking Scolipede because they actually like him or because he's the last in the evolutionary line?
Because design wise I think

Sort of agreed with most of those, except for Pimpkrow which you're still wrong about, and maybe Wigglytuff, which I <3.
The biggest one, for me:
Togekiss' design has grown a lot on my but I still prefer Togetic's. Maybe if Togekiss had a neck I'd say they're equal...
What? No. I'm not a fan of Togetic. If I had my way, Togepi would evolve straight into Togekiss.

New Game: Pokémon that look better than their evolutions.

It irks me that Wigglytuff has to live in the shadow of that inferior balloon, I blame the anime for misdirecting the easily impressionable children.
I will say Charmeleon, Scyther and Krokorok are the ones that stand out for me seeing that those are 3 of my favourite pokemon right there.

I really don't know how you could say that (except for differing tastes, etc.)
Togetic looks like a little cherub angel. Togetic looks like a no-neck fat bird.
And explain this to me: in evolution, how do you go from a species that has two working wings, two working arms, and two working feet and legs, to a species that has no arms and two pathetic little feet?
It'd be like humans evolving into a species with no thumbs. You don't go backwards you know!

Also, can't imagine why anyone would put Pimpkrow under Murkrow ._.
Togetic looks like some freakish egg shaped thing. and your problem is exactly why Togetic shouldn't exist. Iogepi's "arms" being underdeveloped wings is a much easier sell then them just disappearing completely when evolving into Togekiss.

Anyways, just from Gen 5:

That's not to say the ones on the right are horrible, I just prefer the ones on the left.
That's the point. Until Togekiss went wildly in a random direction, the Toge* line was defined by the "egg."
I don't understand?
One thing I also dislike about Togekiss is how big it is.
Should be half that size.

Sure, but it kinda beats the point if they're both awesome.>
Pink Crobat is amazing.
I really, really want one. Only reason I never used repels in caves till gen 5.

If Scrafty's eyes weren't half-lidded I would be tempted to say they're about equal.
I want the Poketch in general back. So useful. They could do some amazing things if they do like, a Poketch SDK/API. Downloadable Poketch apps!
Of course I also want the things the C-Gear did well to be added too.

i prefer scolipede. it's one of my favorite looking bug pokemon.
disagree with every single one of these except rhydon.
In general I really like Pokemon which sort of seem like they have freedom of movement to their design. Scolipede looks like he could curl up and stuff and it's pretty neat.
ThatObviousUser
ὠαἴÏÏιÏÏÎ¿Ï Ïαá¿Ï εἶ
Agreed with these.
But not these. I don't get the hate for Scizor, I think it looks pretty cool. Like a bug Megaman. With red metal armor. Awesome.
Scyther is still awesome, of course.
Porygon 2 looks a lot better than 1 IMO, but I don't care for Porygon Z at all. Don't hate it, but I'm sort of meh on it.
I know right? Wisey just blindly hates all the cross-gen Gen 4 evos. Except Togekiss evidently, which he's also wrong about...
uh... snakes?
I actually like Gliscor, Weavile, Roserade, Froslass and Mismagius too. I just think some of them are the worst Pokémon in Gen IV.

Froslass' design is pure garbage. I'd rather raise a Toxicroak.
go raise your team of druddigon and be quiet.
ThatObviousUser
ὠαἴÏÏιÏÏÎ¿Ï Ïαá¿Ï εἶ
I'd rather french kiss a Toxicroak than have a Froslass on my team.
As for Weavile, I don't know, I got really attached to Sneasel's design in Gen 2. Weavile looks like it has some dumb lion's mane that makes it look like a girl. The jewel on its head and "necklace" doesn't help either.
Insulting Frosslass and Toxicroak? Disgraceful.
But poor taste is to be expected from a T.Hawk player...
Like Sneasel wasn't already really feminine?
ThatObviousUser
ὠαἴÏÏιÏÏÎ¿Ï Ïαá¿Ï εἶ
I never really thought of Sneasel as feminine though. But Weavile's design beats you over the head with it. They're similar enough that I can more easily accept the evo though.
(I really like Toxicroak's design, just btw.)

You use Fuerte, whose entire chef storyline revolves around bad taste.
El Fuerte's taste is fine. It the rest of the World that has bad taste.

I agree.
