Wait, are we not including Gmax forms for this? Thats a major reason why i ranked Orbeetle high.

yeah we totally are they're sure not being ranked separately lol

Oh I just realized we've revealed two type champions already. Congrats to Wyrdeer, the best Psychic Pokemon, and Kleavor the best Rock type!

Bane_Of_Despair (31) - And here we have another cool bug! I love the pointed feet.
mnk (43) - This one maybe suffers the most from losing its Gigantimax. The big UFO saucer was cool.
PrinceOfKoopas (44) - It has some cool battle applications. Gravity is relegated to it.
Inviso (59) - The UFO concept is cool, but holy CRAP this thing is exceptionally weak and slow. It stands out compared to other early-game bugs I've used on teams in the past.
Johnbobb (64) - https://imgur.com/tJTronp
Paratroopa1 (82) - does it have to look so fucking CRAZY

Comments:
XIII_Rocks (20) - There's something about Runerigus that I dig. The method of evolution being so insanely specific, and also the black outlines make it look almost like a cel-shaded Pokemon, and I'm intrigued by that.
Paratroopa1 (25) - extremely cool. no other notes
mnk (26) - It's pretty neat, but why GameFreak, did you not go with Ghost/Rock? You had two opportunities this generation, and took neither of them.
Johnbobb (28) - https://imgur.com/ddMcK4z
Inviso (30) - If this was our first Rock/Ghost instead of another Ground/Ghost, I'd give it a ton more credit.
PrinceOfKoopas (46) - spooky
Bane_Of_Despair (69) - Return the slaaaaaaaab. This variant is a fun little form, it's a little drab but the idea and serprent on the stone is neat.

Comments:
PrinceOfKoopas (5) - I take a Drednaw plush to the dentist to ease my anxiety. Big fan.
Inviso (13) - Water/Rock is overplayed for sure, but Drednaw is certainly one of the better instances of the typing, especially with Strong Jaw.
DragonGargoyle (22) - I see big bite. I happy. Simple and effective
Johnbobb (22) - https://imgur.com/yUWKStO
mnk (55) - The shapes and color scheme don't really do it for me.
Paratroopa1 (61) - its ok. dont like it as much as I wouldve expected to
Bane_Of_Despair (86) - An improvement over its first form, but it's mostly just not an interesting design. Like sure, it's a Water/Rock turtle.
NFUN (93) - why is his design so terrible. It just feels bad to look at, like Druddigon. It's off somehow, compounding with its genuine shittiness
XIII_Rocks (96) - My least favourite Pokemon ever is Lumineon, and Drednaw evokes a similar feeling. Lumineon is literally "so generic and unremarkable that it makes me angry", and Drednaw is the same. There's NOTHING GOOD about Drednaw, nothing interesting, nothing exciting - even its G-Max form sucks. The only thing stopping Drednaw from being as bad as Lumineon is that Lumineon has terrible stats and appears in the late-game, where better Pokemon should be appearing. Drednaw at least doesn't hide how fucking useless it is. But to be clear, it is fucking useless. A bottom 10 Pokemon of all time.

Comments:
andylt (10) - The only one of the gen 8 starter bunch that I consider a truly good design. It's unique enough that it doesn't feel like an awkward middle evo, and I like its focused athlete-in-training attitude.
Paratroopa1 (18) - I like this guy. I dunno why he has clothes, its weird for a pokemon to have clothes, but yeah, I hold my hands in my pockets like that too, hes just like me
Johnbobb (29) - https://imgur.com/S71voqd
NFUN (37) - A rare exception to clothes on Pokemon being awful. It's reasonable enough as fur to not stretch the line, and the philosophy of the line as a whole is shockingly well-executed
Bane_Of_Despair (47) - Fucking Naruto ass rabbit, super dumb but in the good way. It's goofy but I like it.
Inviso (73) - It's average, I guess.
PrinceOfKoopas (91) - Edgy cereal mascot

DragonGargoyle (14) - I wuv ugly monsters. (... Wait, is Coalossal ugly?)
mnk (15) - Really disappointing they didn't give us some speedy Fire/Rock from this, but I still like a big scary monster too.
XIII_Rocks (21) - Really here because I like the name. Also I kind of respect them doing a coal mining Pokemon in reference to the UK's mining industry.
Paratroopa1 (34) - yeah I like that this thing just looks like some kind of awesome coal kaiju
Bane_Of_Despair (40) - The name is A+, and it's pretty cool overall. I originally had this one ranked lower but then I kept pushing it up. It's a cool Pokemon!
NFUN (59) - Bootleg golem
Inviso (67) - Why would you make ANOTHER Rock/Fire-type that's STILL slow as hell? I get that its ability is meant to mitigate that, but it's such a weak type combo, and the design is too blocky.
andylt (79) - More disappointing than awful, this design is a real waste of Carkoal's potential.
PrinceOfKoopas (79) - It's kinda gross if you look at it closely.
hotdogturtle (80) - I still hate how this thing looks like a redrawn Aggron.

Comments:
Luster Soldier (1) - This is clearly the new Gardevoir. When this Pokemon got leaked prior to the games official release, I knew this one would get rule 34d hard. It has design vibes similar to Gardevoir as a feminine humanoid Pokemon, while also having the exact same typing. Sure enough, I was right. On one rule 34 site I check out, Hatterene has 1424 pictures right now, which is somewhat impressive for a humanoid Pokemon that wasn't expected to have as much support in the furry community. However, it finds itself outclassed by Cinderace with 2646 pictures since it has more appeal among furries. Gardevoir's rule 34 popularity was a product of its time, as it came into existence back in 2002 when the furry community was a very niche thing. Now, the furry community has evolved to the point where it is able to dictate which Pokemon get the most rule 34 pictures. Most artists who do Pokemon rule 34 tend to specialize in either the Pokemon themselves (mainly furry artists) or the human characters. Not many artists do both the Pokemon and the human characters.
hotdogturtle (7) - Not only is it a good Pokemon in its own right, but it's also one of the most fun names to say and to type.
Inviso (28) - It's strong in combat, but I feel like Gardevoir does Psychic/Fairy better, and it's faster, too.
PrinceOfKoopas (30) - Creepy hat.
Paratroopa1 (41) - oh look, trans girls have yet another icon
andylt (68) - Pleasant colouring, but I don't understand what this line is trying to do. The hat gimmick is not interesting. Is this line in S/V? I wonder how they'd look with the fancy hats everyone gets in those games.
mnk (72) - Don't think they really stuck the landing with this line.
Johnbobb (75) - https://imgur.com/gNgUKqC
Bane_Of_Despair (89) - This one is mostly just wasted potential from its prior forms I think, I don't care for it just being a blob although the idea is fine enough.
Ermine (92) - Pathetic attempt at trying to recreate Gardevoir. Maybe they succeeded because I hate this too.

Paratroopa1 (79) - I actually LIKE when pokemon are objects just not this time because he has a weird face and Im anti weird face

Paratroopa1 (3) - I LOVE this guy. hes so fucking happy! hes got a dumptruck ass and he is THRILLED about life
NFUN (9) - I love the total made-up nonsense explanations of all of the chimeras in their pokedex entries. Absolutely shameless
andylt (23) - Honestly this one would work as a non-abomination if it had a middle section to its body. Imagine it sprinting towards you! The -zolt head is my fav of the 4 fossil parts, as much as I understand how a complete fossil poke would ruin the point of them I'd like to see a full electric dino.
Luster Soldier (28) - Out of all the Gen 8 fossil Pokemon, this is the only one that actually looks somewhat normal. The other 3 look a lot more awkward.
Inviso (36) - I don't care much for the fossils this gen, but Dracozolt has the best design in my opinion, however stupid it may look.
Bane_Of_Despair (52) - Same with Arcozolt, this one gets slightly higher for the bottom half being cooler and a Dragon type. But once again, it's so happy to be alive again!
Ermine (63) - Scientists were paid money in the Pokemon Universe to create these monstrosities. Good to know that I could become a scientist in that world if I'm a fucking moron!
PrinceOfKoopas (74) - Ugly fossil.
PrinceKaro (92) - no

Inviso (3) - I like Weavile, Weavile is still better, but a solid new Fighting-type is always a plus for me.
Paratroopa1 (11) - Imagine my surprise. when instead of a pokemon, in walks. IN WALKS. on two legs. bipdeal. bipedally walks. a full fledged, mean girl, bully, pop star. a cheerleader. with a side ponytail and a fresh fucking mani. she walks up to me. and i'm like, "who is this adult woman?"
PrinceKaro (13) - it deserved a better name than this
NFUN (55) - Feels a bit like a Mega in that it tried too hard in turning a good thing even cooler. It doesn't fall completely on its face, but it's almost more disappointing that's it's just mediocre instead of a complete embarassment
PrinceOfKoopas (72) - I like Sneasel more.
Johnbobb (77) - https://imgur.com/Z8VlieL
Bane_Of_Despair (80) - Another one that I feel like I should like more, its design is kind of cool. But I dunno, I get weird vibes from it.
mnk (89) - No thank you. Give me Weavile back.
XIII_Rocks (92) - Sneasel and Weavile without any of the threat or anything that makes it cool. Weird fuckin limbs. Weird typing. Weird name. No.
andylt (93) - Sneasel did not need another evo, especially not one as... humanoid and weird as this thing. No, thank you!
Eddv (94) - trashmon

Luster Soldier (4) - Super cute Pokemon that I love almost as much as Hatterene. Although Hattrem becomes less cute after evolving into Hatterene, it also gains the Fairy type after evolving along with the design becoming more feminine.
PrinceOfKoopas (12) - Really cute hat.
Paratroopa1 (31) - better than hatterene. fight me
mnk (32) - One of the better "little girl" mons. Nice big hat with a pleasant color scheme.
Bane_Of_Despair (50) - Another cutesy Pokemon done right, I like it holding up its large hat.
Inviso (81) - It's not great, but at least it's evolved, right? Kind of?

Comments:
hotdogturtle (1) - Ever since the leaked image when we saw a NPC talk about "half fossils" I hoped that they'd do this concept, so when we finally got the Pokemon they met and surpassed my expectations. Absolutely flawless execution of an incredible idea. This is my favorite of the group but they're close. Speaking of the concept a lot of people always say "yeah I get the joke but..." while clearly demonstrating that they don't get it. I'm predicting that we'll see a few examples of that in the writeups here.
NFUN (2) - The peak of the fossil chimeras. It's a near thing to judge which is more hilariously and gut-wrenchingly fucked up because it and Arctovish, so the tiebreaker goes to it being broken. A 380 power move if he goes first, not even considering type weaknesses, is hilarious and absurd. Somehow this abomination is viable!
hbthebattle (3) - I hope these four don't get immediately shat on, but based on what happened to the UBs...
XIII_Rocks (6) - I love the idea behind these. Weird horrific creations that are like, violations against nature, literally created by a "careless" doctor, is a fantastic idea. A bit like Garbodor - if it disgusts you it is successful. Dracovish is clearly the best because of anime and competitive though.
Paratroopa1 (16) - the absolute balls on the anime writers to make this thing one of ashs featured mons blows my fucking mind
Luster Soldier (38) - Looks more normal than the 2 Arcto fossil Pokemon. The Pokedex claims it can't breathe unless it's underwater, which is the most inaccurate statement made by the Pokedex on any of the Gen 8 fossil Pokemon. Out of all the Gen 8 fossil Pokemon, it was also the most notable one for being competitively viable due to the sheer power of Fishious Rend.
Raka_Putra (38) - How fishious
Inviso (43) - Only ranks this high because Water/Dragon is still relatively rare as a type combo. It's really stupid-looking.
andylt (54) - The most abominable of the abominations. In a way they succeeded the most with this one, because I hate imagining it trying to survive! The Poke-world needs to institute some kinds of laws preventing this evil from happening again.
Ermine (62) - Scientists were paid money in the Pokemon Universe to create these monstrosities. Good to know that I could become a scientist in that world if I'm a fucking moron!
PrinceOfKoopas (90) - Absolute monstrosity in constant suffering. How about I put it out of its misery?
Bane_Of_Despair (92) - The -zolt fossils work better because they at least look goofy in a fun way, these ones are just boring.
PrinceKaro (94) - plz stahp

PrinceOfKoopas (38) - It's goofy that this is in the same generation as Rillaboom.
Luster Soldier (43) - Im surprised this was the only Mythical to come out of Gen 8, the first time since Gen 2. Gen 3 to Gen 7 all had more than one Mythical in each of those generations.

Comments:
OrangeCrush980 (3) - Hangry Mode was a really cool gimmick on paper, but transforming every turn is kind of obnoxious. But it's still enough for #3 in this mess of a gen.
Johnbobb (27) - https://imgur.com/Qs2Gj64
Luster Soldier (27) - This Gen 8 Pikachu clone has the closest resemblance to Pikachu out of all the Pikachu clones (not counting Mimikyu). Its gimmick is switching between 2 different forms at the end of every turn in battle, which only affects the typing of the move Aura Wheel. Morpeko is also the first Electric/Dark type, stealing an unused typing that should have actually gone towards Luxray instead.
Bane_Of_Despair (39) - Having a Full Belly and Hangry mode really wins for this one, outside of that it's pretty plain but still fun. Good enough for top 40!
Raka_Putra (45) - Morpeko morpeko morpeko~ Usada Morpeko peko, almondo almondo
hotdogturtle (59) - Technically not even that bad statistically, just not good enough to matter. Also has arguably the best Electric attack in the game.
Inviso (64) - As far as Pikaclones gothis is one of them. I don't think it's the worst, since Dedenne exists, but it's not amazing.
Paratroopa1 (70) - I happen to like a good pikachu clone but I have my limits about how annoying and cutesy they can be
andylt (72) - A very low tier pikaclone.
PrinceOfKoopas (87) - I despise Morpeko because of how it treated Team Rocket in the anime, and it never once did anything productive or useful.
mnk (90) - Worst pika clone. Stupid ugly minion wanna be.

NFUN (17) - I dislike the fact they made new Regis, but Leki deserves its existence. It's very stupid, of course--it's shaped like a lightbulb and its legs are an outlet--yet it's interesting and fills some kind of niche of "animated energy" that I think needed filling. Rotom is kind of there, but it's more of a take on a poltergeist. And it also makes me laugh to see its speed bar just keep going, and how it hops and prances.
andylt (19) - There's something appealing about a pokemon being pure, concentrated electricity. Wait, is that any different from Rotom? Whatever, this lil thing is speed incarnate.
mnk (28) - This thing is actually pretty cool? Best Regi.
Luster Soldier (32) - Notable for being the new record holder in Speed, beating out Deoxys-Speed as the fastest Pokemon in existence.
Inviso (51) - This is probably my favorite Regi design, but I just don't find the line all that compelling in general.
Paratroopa1 (78) - did the world really need more regis
Eddv (88) - trashmon
Bane_Of_Despair (90) - Really didn't need anymore Regi pokemon.
PrinceOfKoopas (92) - I'd absolutely hate to be trapped in a Thunder Cage, and I'm holding that against it.

NFUN (8) - Dude wouldn't survive 20 minutes. Rip the homie
Paratroopa1 (10) - hes so great. I love him so much. you think hes a freak and that hes probably suffering? thats just your opinion, I think hes just jittering because hes excited to be alive
hotdogturtle (14) - The only fossil that's not at the top of my list, but still an above-average Pokemon regardless.
mnk (19) - I feel so bad for him. He's doing his best...
andylt (20) - I really like what they did with the fossils this time. This one is obviously wrong but in a way that leans more towards playful than horrifying.
Inviso (38) - The two "Zolts" are cool than the two "Vishs", if only because Electric is such a rare dual-typing. That's it though.
Bane_Of_Despair (53) - The only reason why this one ranks so much higher than the -vish counterparts is because IT'S SO HAPPY. It might have a fucked up body that was put together wrongly but god damn it's happy to be alive!
Luster Soldier (56) - Another fossil Pokemon that came out looking terrible, as the head is way smaller than the bottom-heavy lower body. It apparently also has trouble walking, to the extent that can only walk very slowly.
Ermine (61) - Scientists were paid money in the Pokemon Universe to create these monstrosities. Good to know that I could become a scientist in that world if I'm a fucking moron!
PrinceOfKoopas (80) - It's just the booger boy (Zill) from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and I hate it.

Well, that's how I used to play before they forced the exp share on everyone, but now I just rotate like 12+ Pokemon in and out. There's like no team building element left for me to consider anymore... :(

i get this too because exp share has made it like, completely inefficient to just keep a team of guys you like when you could so easily be working on your pokedex by dragging along your unevolved mons the entire game

NFUN (32) - I hate him a lot... except his Gigantamax is absolutely amazing. I love how fucking stupid those things are, usually in good ways. It is sad that it was clearly designed with the 'max in mind, so his original design is garbage
XIII_Rocks (32) - This isn't a great Pokemon or anything, but I quite like it and the G-Max form essentially being The Shard is so insanely ridiculous I have to put it high.
Inviso (35) - I appreciate having a more mainstream Dragon/Steel-type, but this just doesn't do much for me.
Johnbobb (51) - https://imgur.com/HkzFEY0
Bane_Of_Despair (55) - It's a big hunk of metal. It's kind of dumb but in a fine enough way. He's a big boy especially his Gigantimax form, and I had fun enough with him in my party.
mnk (71) - This one never really clicked for me.
Paratroopa1 (72) - I still dont even know what Im looking at
PrinceOfKoopas (81) - Why is it getting an evolution in Gen 9?
PrinceKaro (89) - one of the most questionably designed pokemon ever

Raka_Putra posted...

If we're basing it on competitive usefulness might as well not have NFEs except for, like, Murkrow and Doublade.

you know there are tiers other than OU right

yeah no idea.

Ashethan posted...

Some people want a team that steamrolls everything.

Others just want a team full of 6 dogs. Or 6 cats. Or 6 birds.

Not like the game is hard. It's why Nuzlockes were made.

yeah obviously. i'm just providing a little pushback to the "oh you didn't vote strictly on design? you must just be submitting the smogon tier list" mentality that's weirdly common in here

i get a good enough brain itch from min-maxing whatever the game. i don't play against other players so my eyebrows raise every time you say "competitive", i just have more fun finding ways to be efficient in games. steamrolling everyone with a level 100 wouldn't do anything for me but a guy whose exact type combination let me sneak past a fight that could have been tough, or particular set of moves that let me steamroll an annoying dungeon are the sorts of things that would stick with me well before like, what a pokemon looks like.

red13n posted...

I pick the Pokemon I use in-game pretty much entirely by design.

i would never even think of that!

Comments:
Luster Soldier (13) - Cute Pokemon with a design somewhat resembling Whimsicott (similar body type). Unlike Whimsicott, it is inferior to it because it is only a pure Grass type while Whimsicott has a secondary Fairy type.
Paratroopa1 (35) - will be underrated because people just dont appreciate middle-aged women smh
Bane_Of_Despair (36) - Really like the giant cotton fluff for the head, it pulls it off with elegance and grace. I'm not generally a huge Grass-type design lover but this is a winner for me.
mnk (37) - It's a pleasant enough design. Turning a dandelion into an old granny thing is a neat idea.
Raka_Putra (52) - Learning that it's supposed to resemble an older lady makes me like it significantly more
PrinceOfKoopas (56) - Fluffy cotton thing. ^_^
Johnbobb (57) - https://imgur.com/utTzlVq
hotdogturtle (62) - Why does it walk so slow in New Snap???
Inviso (82) - Stop making weak-ass, effeminate Grass mono-types. This doesn't need to exist when we have things like Lilligant and Bellossom and Tsareena already.

A little bit? When I look at stuff from a competitive angle its more a soulless numbers game.

if the way someone enjoys their time with pokemon is playing competitively they're going to favour pokemon who they enjoy using in that context

i find it soulless and shallow to vote solely based on design but it seems to be the primary thing for a lot of you! i always found it weird because this isn't "board 8's best pokemon design" but voting based on anything else is looked down on.

I'm assuming you all ranked it that high for weirdo competitive Pokemon reasons that I don't bother to understand anymore because damn is this just an awful design.

i assume you all ranked it low for weirdo design reasons that i have never bothered to understand

I sure hope a pokemon in my top 10 doesn't win, otherwise that'll mean they are popular and I'll like them less!

you're saying it sarcastically and i don't understand why lol

Luster Soldier (16) - One of the 3 legendaries that has a major role in the main story of Sword/Shield. It has a special form known as Eternamax Eternatus, which you get to battle in the main story as part of a Max Raid Battle. Eternamax has an insane BST of 1125, beating out both Mega Mewtwo (both forms) and Mega Rayquaza at 780 BST. This form wasn't intended to exist outside of the game's story, but someone has tried hacking the game to catch Eternamax and use it in-game in a variety of different situations. The results were documented in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm_l2vc19W4
XIII_Rocks (17) - I can't not rank a Pokemon with base 24341324 stats and hilariously conspicuous CGI in the anime high.
Inviso (18) - I just think it looks cool. It's not greatly-utilized in the story, because SwSh has a bad storyline, but Eternatus is pretty badass as a legendary.
Johnbobb (38) - https://imgur.com/8YltPx7
andylt (45) - Super edgy, but I don't hate it. Having not played these games, it does not look like it'd be in a trio with the dogs.
mnk (70) - What even is this thing? It looks even less like a Pokemon than the Ultra Beasts.
Paratroopa1 (73) - looks kind of cool if you view it from PRECISELY the correct angle where any of its geometry even kind of makes sense
Bane_Of_Despair (76) - It is pretty cool looking and once again I really like the color scheme, but I think it goes a liiiiiittle too outside the confines of being a Pokemon. I've never been the biggest fan of "alien" Pokemon anyway, not that I dislike them as much as some people but I generally prefer ones that are closer to existing animals/things.
NFUN (79) - lol
Eddv (84) - trashmon
Raka_Putra (88) - It gives me great unease
PrinceOfKoopas (89) - Extremely ugly freak.

personally i would never publicly admit that my opinions are carefully crafted to counter other opinions i heard about. i would find that deeply, deeply embarrassing.

getting items like badges and stuff since in theory that's memory space that can be accessed.

maybe i missed something saying otherwise but i'm under the impression this was all driven by visuals and not accessing actual data

then having that sour your opinion further, that's a mental illness?

yeah
