We talked about everyone’s favorite Pokémon, but who’s your least favorite? A Pokémon that, no matter what, will never make it on your team? Or maybe the Pokémon you find least interesting?
I have a few, lol.
-
Mr. Mime. I’ve never liked Mr. Mime, I always found him a little freaky since the first time I saw him. I don’t have a problem with clowns or mimes or other performers of the type… I just really don’t like Mr. Mime.
-
Shedinja. I love the concept of Shedinja, but the execution is… Lackluster. Wonderguard is basically pointless, since Shedinja’s weaknesses are so common, and even moves that aren’t super effective can still take it out if they have a secondary or battlefield effect…

And finally, a recent Pokémon, Quaquaval. I. Cannot. Stand. This design. Quaxly is… Okay. It’s the least strong of it’s starter trio. After that, it’s all downhill in a big way, lol.
What about you guys? Who are your least favorite Pokémon, and why?
Rotom. Ultra Moon made me hate that guy like no other Pokémon. Seriously, how did GF manage to make the Pokédex so annoying?
Gods, yes. Rotom narrowly avoided making my list. It wouldn’t be so bad if Rotom wasn’t such a needy thing. Felt like I couldn’t go two minutes without Rotom-dex giving me those sad eyes, and the Rotom boosts… I actually don’t think I ever used them. Rotom is a cool concept, and then every piece of technology in the Pokemon world became a Rotom-something. Rotom-fridge, Rotom-mower, Rotom-dex, Rotom-phone. It’s a good mirror for the prevalence of “Internet of Things” smart devices in the real world. Smart washers with WiFi connectivity that you can set and start from your phone, smart lawn mowers, smart toasters. My brother-in-law bought a smart-grill.
I don’t want the Pokemon world to reflect those aspects of the real world, though. 😭
Oh god I couldn’t even get through Ultra Sun because of rotom staring at me and being so annoying. Completely turned me off the game.
