Top 5 Pokémon
« on: February 28, 2011, 12:52:07 PM »

We take a look back at pocket monsters past.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/25496

With the newest Pokémon games (Black & White) just around the corner, a few of us at Nintendo World Report thought it would be fun to reminisce about our favorite Pokémon from the different games. It's also, you know, the 15th anniversary of the series in Japan, which is noteworthy.

Since the new games feature an entirely new cast of critters, what better opportunity to wax nostalgic on the virtues of Bulbasaurs and Marowaks? Join us, readers, as we take a tearful look back at our Top Five Pokemon.

Good picks overall.  I do like that you picked Abra as opposed to Alakazam.  I don't know if Scizor would be my number 1... but he's definitely in the top 5!

I disagree with most of the picks, but I did enjoy reading the reasons why you like them.

According to some of the Pokedexes out there Cubone's skull helm is from the remains of its dead mother & by the time it becomes a Marowak, the skull is pretty much fused to its head. I've said it before & I'll say it again. Marowak was the most metal pokemon before metal type pokemon ever existed.

Not sure where I'd rank him but Marowak's easily among my top 5 as well.

I'm still going to go with Pichu. I don't care if it's weak, there's still been nothing to surpass it in adorableness.

Solid picks, but I'll give my top 5 for kicks.

5) Ursaring - I love bears. Enough said.
4) Spiritomb - It's creepy and has no weaknesses. Wall of ghost!
3) Lapras - It's the Loch Ness Monster for crying out loud, that's awesome.
2) Gyrados - Raise a stupid Magicrap and get another dragonish bad a**.
1) Dragonite - for basically the same reasons you gave.

I think you meant to say "refused to evolve", not "refused to not evolve". I love Bulbasaur too, it was the Pokemon I picked when I first got Red in 1998 and I always made sure to get one in the future games. To me, it (and its evolved forms) is still my favorite of all the starters and one of my favorite in general.

(using my best tj spyke impression) zach, i think you meant to say giratina's platinium form. this is called his origin form and appears first in the pokemon platinium game.

also props, tyrantitar is my favourite pokemon too.

James Jones seems to like Teapig and Heatmor best since he name the Funhouse after them.

Neal has a dirty mind....

Pretty good picks Pedro. Bulbasaur was my first starter as well. I'd use it and its evolutions alot all the way to the Elite 4.

As for my top 5 pokemon it is tough for me to narrow it down to five but here goes.

5. Butterfree.
4. Flareon.
3. Starme.
2.Mew.
1.Mewtwo.
Maxi is dead. I killed him and took his posts and changed genders.
Alexis, she/her/Miss

I'm happy with thinking pokepal148 is just eating a stick of butter. It seems about right for him. I don't need no stinking facts.

I'd love to. We can discuss how awesome Pokemon are and agree on all of them.

This sounds like the nerdiest bromance ever.

Sometimes I feel like I missed out never getting into Pokemon

Wait, Josh is the only sane here? I'm sorry, but Sumo Venusaur begs to differ...
