Both are indeed amazing, but both suffer from the fact that I never used them in-game. Yet, I was charmed by their appearance, similar to the appearance of Magnemite (yeah, I like the inanimate-object Pokemon.)

Speaking of which, nominate the Magnemite line.

Ralts and Kirlia did better than I expected, and G/G did fine - out of curiosity, how much did the two antivotes hurt them? i'm assuming not too much with 34 votes total

growlithe - 9
arcanine - 9.5 - i almost never used in the old days because i wouldnt want to evolve growlithe without learning flamethrower - untapped potential! - and i didnt have the patience to get it to flamethrower level. <_<

I love this line. And now for my two families I skipped time.

Piplup: 5.7/10 Eh... it's cute.
Prinplup: 0/10 Okay, I've been highly opposed to this line since the beginning. I love Penguins, but they ruined it with a cute, a lame name (added an r to the prevo... SO CREATIVE)
Empoleon: 6.2/10 I really don't like this penguin.

Ho-Oh: 8.6/10 Yay fire bird that doesn't suck *looks at Moltres*
Lugia: 7.9/10 Eh... odd bird thing

Bouffalant: 1.3/10 Afro gets 1.3 points. It being a rip-off of Tauros removes all other points.

Yeah, I typically t-wave myself, but there's a lot of ground types out there and the occasional ability that trolls you.

Swoobat... actually has a name that means something. Woo and swoo, although childish spellings, are things regarding getting someone else to start falling for another. I dunno how to spell the actual words though.

Ok, I prefer Zapdos, but this is just absurd. Being really liberal it's in the top 50%. Worse than any of the 4 Regis, Dialga, Palkia, Latias, Tornado Trio (or whatever the hell they're called)?

Hey, I actually liked Regice, thank you very much. It got outdated to hell with the induction of Stealth Rock, but its design is sleek [actually, I used my Master Ball on it once or twice] and it's decent in battle. And I mean it takes your special attacks and eats them like they were breakfast.
