Gen 1: Most of them get enough attention. Either from the anime or you see them all the time.

I'd have to choose Mr.Mime. You obtain it as a gift and I don't know anyone who used it ever. You fight like 2 of them and we only remember it from the anime.

Gen 2: Quillfish or Octillary. You mostly never see them unless you're looking to complete your dex.

Gen 3: I can't really name anything.

Same for other gens. It all gets blurry with 4.

1: I dunno, maybe Lickitung. Like you said, they're all pretty well known.

2: Slugma line, if only because people seemed to think he was a gen 3 Pokemon for the longest time.

3: Probably Chimecho.

4: Hard to say. Maybe Skuntank.

5: Easily Maractus.

6: Shit I dunno. Carbink? Dedenne? Bunnelby?

7: Komala maybe? Kinda soon to really say for this one.

Gen 1: Rattata
Would be it, if it weren't so ubiquitous. Its design is as generic as it gets, it sucks, and its evo is no better. At least Pidgeot looks kind of cool and Zubat and Tentacool have cool evolutions.

Gen 2: Qwilfish or Sunkern/flora
Qwilfish is a plain design that is difficult to obtain in its native gen and lost in the tide of of generic fish pokemon that followed. Sunkern and Sunflora are terrible and boring, but not in a way that is notable.

Gen 3: Wurmple
Oh hey. It's like Caterpie, just red and white instead of green and white! It doesn't help that its evos are also generic and forgettable. Everything else has something going for it or is a (terrible) meme.

Gen 4: The Lake Legendaries(Azelf, Mespirit, Uxie)
They all look alike and are all Psychic-types with Levitate. Now, I love Sinnoh and Gen 4, but these guys were sheer bloat.

Gen 5: Patrat
Oh, hey. It's a generic rodent. You know, like that other one, because you just can't have a region without a generic-ass rodent to round-out the encounter tables! It's doubly a shame because prairie dogs are cool animals that deserve better(much like rats).

Gen 6: Flabebe
Oh neat, it's a flower pixie. Wait, what do you mean it isn't part grass?

Gen 7: Comfey
See above.

^ I don't recall trainers with Slugma in gen 2 actually. They were more prominent in gen 3 as a whole.

Competitively, so many Pokemon are outclassed or really never used.

Sunkern is known as the weakest Pokemon. Not forgotten at all.

It's remembered for being the weakest, but who remembers the 2nd weakest? ;)

isn't skuntank used by the evil team in the game? i think it would be known just for that.

for gen 1 it's tangela i think. like nobody knows there was a pure grass type in gen 1.

Lol wtf at Rattata being forgettable. It's one of the first wild pokes you encounter along with Pidgey. And he literally became a meme in gold/silver

I'd argue that Tangela has an evolution that's notorious in competitive play, so Farfetch'd is left as the only Gen 1 Pokemon that was never good and never got any help through evolutions or new mechanics in later gens. If anything it's notable for how little GameFreak seems to care about it.

Yeah, but Ash's mom has one at home and I'm sure Mr. Ketchum isn't missed. >_>

The way I see it, the most forgettable Pokemon can't be 1. Part of a recurring archetype (starters, Pikachu clone, Route 1 bird, Route 1 Rodent, etc.) 2. owned by a prominent character in the games or anime, 3. competitively significant, or 4. a meme.

You can make a case for why any Gen 1 Pokemon isn't forgettable, but that's because everyone knows the first gen. No one will fight you for forgetting Stantler or Finneon though.

Except Finneon is more of a clone. Gen 1 isn't really forgettable but to me, Mr.Mime is the "most" out of everyone. It even stopped making anime appearances pretty fast.

He was in the SM anime. I'm pretty sure he pops up anytime Ash's mom does, which obviously isn't going to be much so long as they're outside of Kanto.

This was almost exactly what I was going to say, except that Deerling (gen 5) is one of my favorites. Most forgettable gen 6 is probably Bergmite, I guess. Gen 6 didn't have a lot, but I thought they were all reasonably memorable.

Gen 1: Dodrio
Gen 2: Slowking
Gen 3: Volbeat/Illumise
Gen 4: Lumineon
Gen 5: Maractus

Lumineon wins overall. Don't care about gen 6 + onwards. I actually prefer Slowking to Slowbro design-wise, but nobody I knew had one, it's barely different from Slowbro stat-wise (IIRC it's worse competitively, too), and I don't think any NPC's even had it in their team in G/S/C.

You mean besides being the evolution of one of the most popular Gen 1 Pokemon? A lot of Pokemon are only memorable if only because they have a notable member of its evolutionary line. Might as well argue that Leafeon or Raichu are obscure because their pre-evolved forms are more popular.

Sunkern is actually notable for having the lowest base stats of any Pokmon. Not the best thing to be notable for, but its still #1.

EDIT: Looks like it got recently dethroned by a Pokmon called Wishiwashi. Still notable for being the weakest Pokmon for a long time.
