EDIT: I just checked the spreadsheet, and you gave Lucario a 5, so I guess that's not too bad. So if a 5/10 gets 89th, I suppose you must not hate the remaining 88 all that much.

Well don't expect my ratings to be coherent with the list, I don't think about them too much most of the time, besides I was probably trying to be objective with Lucario or something.
...But yeah, I'm mostly indifferent to the ones coming up next.
As I've said, you guys nominated some absolutely terrible stuff for the bottom but there's some very cool stuff that will show up much earlier than I expected. There are few in-betweens and they're basically the ones going from Bad Egg to #71 or so.

#88 - STOUTLAND Nominated by: KamekGuy IDK if you had numbers in there/God why didn't I write down your full nicknames <_<. Hairy pics:
Well I'm pretty sure that Bosco won't be pleased with this one!
Well what to say about Stoutland, it comes from a line that is uneven to me since I'm indifferent to Lillipup, like Herdier very much (reminds me of the dog I had when I was a kid) and... well I don't dislike Stoutland but it is quite a step behind IMO.
First, you and a lawnmowner need to meet and you need that ASAP because you look like a bush with legs. Seriously Stout, not a fan of the Santa Dog look, too much hair and TOO MUCH MOUSTACHE. And this comes from someone who is completely okay with hair on people.
See, that moustache reminds me of other illustrious people such as Charles Darwin, Merlin and Gandalf. I guess that if your goal was 80s porn actor but for dogs you failed quite hard at that.
I guess that there are good things about Stout though, it has two excellent abilities for example. But then, it's literally called the Big-hearted pokémon, it goes out there and rescues people, stereotypical pop culture dog stuff etc.
Boring.

87 had more limbs before evolving (or so I think?). 86 was apparently split into parts and each was as important as the other before evolving. 85 should've had Dark as a secondary type tbh.
-- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!
Typh I can accept even though it's a pain to raise Cynda/Quilava until it learns Flamethrower. Typh's got offensive power and coverage (kinda).
Meganium has access to lvl. 8 Razor Leaf, Dual screens, Poisonpowder, Body Slam and Synthesis so sorry if I actually picked something that might be useful instead of "HURR DURR HIGH ATTACK NO MOVES 6153 WATER POKEMON TO CHOOSE FROM DERP" :P.
-- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!
Who cares about level 8 Razor Leaf when basically everything you're fighting until the third gym is either Flying, Bug, Grass, and/or Poison. I mean, sure you can take down the Geodudes and Onixes, but just everything else...
You speak as if Totodile fared much better against those. He's left with normal attacks too there. Besides, even at a disadvantage STAB Razor Leaf is pretty decent.
After the second gym is when the real thing begins. You can have Geodude/Onix deal with the first gym and Pidgey/HootHoot/Geodude/Onix with the second. Then when Miltank shows up you can bet that I'd have Bayleef with me rather than the other two anyday.
-- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!
Yeah, I was never really sure why Chikorita got Razor leaf so early... usually the first STAB move starters learn is a crappy one (Ember, Bubble, Vine Whip, etc.). And once Quilava gets Flame Wheel, he's really not that hard to raise. Plus, Typhlosion has the highest special stat of any Pokemon that can learn Eruption other than Heatran. So that's gotta count for something.
From: SuorGenoveffa | #163 And now, for the next three:
87 had more limbs before evolving (or so I think?). 86 was apparently split into parts and each was as important as the other before evolving. 85 should've had Dark as a secondary type tbh. 87-Uh... let me think about this.... 86-Reuniclus 85-Luxray
Well you have to aim for nostalgia for this one, because Golem basically stopped existing in later generations.
I'm pretty sure you guys all remember the four pokémon that evolved via trade: Kadabra, Haunter, Machoke and Graveler.
Let's put aside the competitive part for a moment (yeah, let's pretend that any of us had a good opinion of the Geodude line as children) and focus on design and "cool factor". Something that requires such a complicated and annoying way to evolve should look cool right? That's why we have:
Moustached nerd with two spoons who's also a complete powerhouse. Gengar <3 Big ass dude with briefs and four muscular arms. ...A solid turd ball... with a derpface and limbs. Literally this:
DERP GOLEM
Now, Geodude and Graveler kind of get a bad rep because they're so easy to take down that, by impulse, I've never touched one of them in my entire lifetime. But that aside, I always felt that Golem wasn't worth it, and part of it was also because you could just get Rhyhorn and move on if you were really desperate for a good Rock/Ground type. Rhydon totally looks better too.
So, my complaint about Golem is that for something that requires such an intricate evolving method, it sure looks dull. Easily one of the most unremarkable Gen I pokémon/lines IMO.
-- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!
Yeah Starfox but I'm talking about Gen II here, I mean Feraligatr became a bad Gyarados later and bad Gyarados is still better than Meganium.
I loved Typhlosion too because it bossed things around with Thunderpunch, but Bayleef was easier to raise.
Ah. Even then, I didn't have much of a problem raising them. Ember was a bit weak, but Flame Wheel was really nice once you got it (I think it got it right when it evolved into Quilava, but I'm not sure). I usually had a harder time raising grass types in Gen II just because the types of wild Pokemon that showed up almost always resisted you, unless you found a Wooper or fisherman trainer (and most of the trainers still used the likes of Pidgey and Hoothoot). Then again, that battle with Whitney's Miltank f***ing SUCKED.
STOMP! YOU FLINCHED! STOMP! YOU FLINCHED! STOMP! YOU FLINCHED! ROLLOUT! ROLLOUT! ROLLOUT! ROLLOUT! ROLLOUT STILL SOMEHOW NEVER MISSES!
LOL the pic is hilarious starfox, I must admit that I somehow never had that much trouble with Miltank though.
#86 - MAGNEZONE Nominated by: Ytterbium_70 Pic:
Like with most Gen IV evolutions, I used to hate Magnezone with all my burning passion. I don't like it now, it still looks kind of dumb but I guess that I could live with that.
I can sort of see why they would give Magneton an evolution, it was an excellent Skarmory counter but didn't have much going for it besides that, with the exception of an incredibly high special attack. Magneton wasn't exactly the pokémon who needed an evolution the most but yeah, amen.
I honestly feel very little in any way towards Magnezone so we might as well end this here. If it stopped existing I wouldn't notice it and if I noticed, I would feel no sorrow nor joy, no pain nor delight, the sky would be just as blue and the moon would be just as pale... man I'm so deep, I love myself so much.
I guess Magnezone is okay because by being completely irrelevant it shifted my attention towards me and how much I would marry me and more narcissistic stuff.
-- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!
Oh, I forgot about attract! That made it even worse. I had a 50/50 shot of not even attacking on half my Pokemon plus stomp's flinch rate... it really sucked. And her rollout never missed... that was what made that battle suck so much. Although my Pokemon games tend to REALLY hate me. I actually decided to measure it for a bit, and when I used 2-5 hit attacks, only once did it get above 3 in 25 uses. When I had attract used on me, I once had a streak where I didn't attack for 12 turns straight. They really hate me.
Fun Glalie Facts: No more than a year ago I was shocked by learning a painful truth: Glalie is not Ice/Dark, but only Ice. I think that this happened because I associated it with Crunch a lot for some reason. That automatically made it much less cool in my eyes: instead of a decapitated frozen totem head with evil horns it became a giant frozen rock with badly drawn features.
And since, by not being a Dark type, Glalie is not as interesting now, we'll talk about my mp3 player songs instead. See, my computer died on me a couple of weeks ago, and I lost my mp3 player a week ago... an awesome streak of luck.
I had to buy a new one and recover music from my (also pretty much dead) old laptop. The only music available was a folder with the songs that were on my mp3 one/two years ago during summer.
It's a tradition for me to listen to completely embarassing music during summer, so here's the top 5 most shocking reveals I had while l was randomly shuffling stuff:
#5 - PURPLE SUIT
So, this started with some kind of country intro I didn't recognize, so I thought: "Must be some Taylor Swift song I don't remember". Then the part I remembered of the song started and the dude in a purple spacesuit or whatever the f**k that is emerged from my memory. Needless to say, I was shocked.
#4 - W R DANCIN LIEK WR DUM (WHATEVER KIRBY IS TOO)
Oh. MY. GOD. This song is completely... I mean, seriously, "We're dancing like we're dumb dumb dumb du-du-dumb", I had a sturm und drang and an epiphany all together when I listened to this line. I want to compliment the author.
#3 - BURN IT WITH FIRE
I love how Betty Spaghetti shows up and draws a circle of fire in the air. Masterful art direction, I say. At one point the ladies come out all bossy and say their part just to get back in the kitchen later.
#2 - NO SERIOUSLY
I won't spoil this, I won't.
You just have to sit through this and then tell me how that made you feel.
#1 BACKSEAT MASTER RACE
A person asked me to put this song on a trashy CD we would've listened on a trip, so I knew that I had this song somewhere. After listening to all the embarassing stuff on my new mp3 player though, I thought "Well, at least I'm safe from THAT SONG because I'm sure that I NEVER put it in any folder". I think I lost 20 years of my life when this thing showed up in the random yesterday. I don't know who I am and what am I to do anymore.
See? All better than talking about Ice-only Glalie.

84 has alternate forms and it's hard to tell which one looks worse. 83 "shares blood" with one of the most amazing and cute things ever <3 82 needs a sandwich ASAP.
-- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!
When I first looked at Gastrodon I thought "OH PLEASE sad Lapras wannabe BEGONE!". Well there aren't many points in common between disgusting slugs and plesiosauruses, are there?
Well, Gastrodon's forms look both pretty bad to me; it's probably the awful coloring, it has zero fashion sense tbqh. That said, its being linked with Lapras in my mind is probably the only reason why I had some sympathy for it and didn't rank it lower, somewhere around where Shellos would be (Tips: in the bottom 649).
Did you know that it had a very promising beta sprite?
I, for sure, wouldn't want to see the front of that thing, the back is enough for an entire life.
-- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely!
Oh darn. And here I thought I was being clever by interpreting 'shares blood' as Remoraid latching onto Mantine (who I know you like) and leeching blood from it.
