Whimsicott
It looks like some sort of sheep/ram thing, except it's a grass type. Pretty cute, I think I'd like this pokemon. It's abilities are interesting. It either treats its non damaging moves like quick attack or it can ignore Reflect/Light Screen/Safeguard. I love me some status whores when they're on my side, but it looks like it suffers from the "Evolved with stone, can't learn **** anymore" syndrome. Not as badly but still. I sure hope your pre evolution learns a bunch of status moves, otherwise this is quite a waste. You know you're in good shape when you make a pyro trainer such as myself interested in getting you.
Snorlax
Oh Snorlax, how I loved you in the anime. How I can't stand trying to capture you in the game. How I really didn't like anyone using your Curse move set because it was overused. Anyway it seems that this pokemon has lost some of its fame. It is no longer the heaviest Pokemon there is. Slaking existing doesn't help you out either. Blissey also took away your meat shield job. Learning Slack Off helps but people still found the pike spore more useful. That's a shame, because you shouldn't be left out of so many teams. The only thing you've done wrong is have Munchlax come into existence(and which one among of us can claim perfection?). Other than that, a solid first gen Pokemon. Hopefully no one will ever out eat you. You deserve to be the best at ONE thing after all. (All of your abilities are well suited by the way.)
Houndour
I love this Pokemon, but I can't help but compare it to Growlithe. Both are dogs, both are fire type, both will mess you up if you're on their turf at the wrong time. You're a heck of a lot less popular though it seems. Perhaps because you aren't owned by 95% of Jennies in the Pokeworld. Considering Jenny isn't a very good officer, this is perplexing. The only other problem is that you can't seem to take a hit, at all. This cuts down on your intimidation factor. Speaking of which, why don't you get this? Flash Fire is nice, but why don't you get Intimidate? You evolve into a damn hell hound for goodness sake, no other canine is more scary than that. Glass cannon or otherwise, something with "doom" in it's name isn't something to mess with. Early Bird is somewhat of a waste. If you're put to sleep, chances are you aren't going to survive long enough to wake up once you start getting hit. Even if you were, you're nocturnal. Nocturnals can't be early birds because they're sleeping when the early birds are getting up. Despite your oddities, you're still superior to your pure fire counterpart, so don't worry, even if you'd probably lose to it in a one on one fight.
Lairon
You're one of the many "Unappealing when you first evolve, awesome when you evolve again" Pokemon, joining the ranks of Charmeleon, Pupitar, and Bagon. You're also quite annoying to fight. You're either using Iron Defense to ensure the opponent has to send in a special attacker, using Protect like a little ***** to waste time, or using Roar to prevent capture, or to spread xp around preventing a level up. I hate to say this, but I'm just not very found of you Larion. That's ok though, because you're are ****ing awesome once you evolve. Hell I'm going to be training a shiny Aron soon so I'll be giving you some love along the way regardless. I'll also give you some credit for having the Heavy Metal hidden ability. You look like a Pokemon that's into that kind of music. Grow strong Larion, and one day you'll be able to make badass locomotion noises in that music of yours!
