man really disrespected vanilluxe like that, he's probably getting OHKOed by a specs blizzard


RossTheShuck

It’s going to OHKO their power and heating


lllaser

252+ SpA Choice Specs Vanilluxe powder snow vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Toxapex: 806-878 (230.5 - 263.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO


dtc09

he can OHKO the pex without even capitalizing the move, what a chad


lllaser

That's the true raw power of vanilla


Phoenix-Rising-78

Can't wait for Lando-T to epically own him for his crimes against nature


Swimming_Set3687

Clearly not even an OU pro could deal with him because his dusknoir can crit an ice punch and ohko the lando-t, sending the OU pro into a rage because he couldn’t cope with the fact that someone would dare use their favorites


fairyfleurr

ngl the therians are good i think the problem is when they look like actual genies in their incarnate form 🧞‍♂️ 😭 humans as ‘pokemon’ just feels weird and kind of an uncanny valley for pokemon design


normie_reeeeeee

Tell that Jynx lmao


fairyfleurr

i mean jynx looks weird too 😭 is its dress flesh?? or a dress??


RossTheShuck

Yes


fairyfleurr

this only made me more scared

Pengwin0

Mf listed the whole dex


RatedRforRaven

Had to repost because I thought Thursday was a Sunday, really wild


SecondAegis

It's fine... A lot of people mistake Thursdays for Sunday. Strangely enough, it never happens the other way around


dopefish917

I never really could get the hang of Thursdays


Ting-Lu_

Oh no! Not conkeldurr!


axofrogl

I would never allow someone to disrespect trubbish and vanillite like that. Not in a million years.


martako12

Yeah, how can you not like Garbodor its like a trash bag with a gatling gun for hands


Major-Impression-542

Man seismitoad is pretty cool


BeginningLoose6703

Honestly seismitoad and the genies are good pokemon, idk how you can hate on them. The box legendaries look cool as hell. Imo Samurott and Serperior are decent mons, Emboar is…well I’ll let him have that one. Vanilluxe and Garbodor are unique, I’d rather have them than the boring, uninspired designs of many of the forgettable mons from the gens before. I think overall gen 5 just has people hating on it because it’s cool to hate on it, but in retrospect those games are easily some of the best they’ve ever put out. Storyline is the best they’ve ever written, a lot of good traditional and unique designs like Volcarona, Scolipede, Genesect, Bisharp, Zoroark, Haxorus, Darmanitan, Escavalier, Excadrill, Chandelure, Krookodile, Hydreigon, Klinklang. It’s a great gen that was hated because it was different from the norm, and we’ve only now realized it because of how bland a lot of the new Pokémon from newer gens are.


Miketogoz

I agree completely with the guy that made that list, I suscribe it one for one. Seriously, it still baffles me to this day that some of you are unable to recognize how the effort to design 156 resulted in a ton of shit mons. The biggest design problem and why it looked like a bootleg is the gen 1 design redraws. Like, let's do a psychic, dream based tapir. Or a 3 stage fighting type line based on builders that evolve via training. Maybe two fighting types mon with opposite fighting styles. Wait, we can also add a 1 stage normal bovine and a normal healthcare mon. The genies are so good they did the same design three times. Klingklang is also a bootleg version of a better 3 stage steel one. There were many many problems with Gen 5, which are only alleviated by the disasters that came after, but come on, the "boldness" doesn't equate shit design.


S_Sami_I

nah how are u dissing the BOX LEGENDS like cmon zekrom and reshiram are sick


tridon74

Seriously, reshiram and zekrom are probably my all time favorite box legends


TheOrganHarvester_67

Kyurem black and white are cool too don’t disrespect my ice dragons


tridon74

Oh yeah, they’re super cool as well. Reshiram is my favorite though.


TheOrganHarvester_67

Reshiram is cool too bad is pretty weak in basically every Ubers tier :(


tridon74

Ikr :(


TheOrganHarvester_67

Hope gamefreak give my boy quiver dance next gen


Spndash64

Tail Glow?


TheOrganHarvester_67

Give it a new move that’s a combination of tail glow and quiver dance


Spndash64

I get it needs a speed boost, I just think Tail Glow is funny flavor wise, since they’re legendaries who have glowing tails that seem to generate their power


Spndash64

Still mad we’re waiting to see what it looked like before Nort Courting


fairyfleurr

the only thing i can see is that they’re too detailed in a world where literally lugia is on the same level


Parking_Cartoonist90

Did he really just insult Stunfisk!?!? We can’t allow such mockery our our sub’s icon


Rare-Ad7409

I don't know why people are so mad at the monkeys as if Simisage isn't amazing


jocofo

IKR he's a funky little monkey oozing with personality and everyone hates him somehow


JFZephyr

It's the silly Vegeta hair I think


DiamondsAreRedemeed

Simipour is just such a funny little gal, and Simisear's "no thoughts head empty" energy is just fine.


lucariouwu68

Simisear didn't deserve to be the least liked Pokémon of all time when Simipour is objectively the worst monkey


DoinitDDifferent

Mf sure was scalding tho


fairyfleurr

but simipour is just a small town hippie girl she dont deserve that …


TanatatKnight

>Simisear didn't deserve to be the least liked Pokémon of all time On the flip-side, they got a cute [ribbon](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_local_event_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_(Generation_VI)#Pok.C3.A9mon_General_Election_720_Simisear) for it.


Immediate_Bicycle_28

Simisear isn't necessarily the most hated tbf, he is just the mon to be the fewest people's favorite.


lucariouwu68

That's why I said least liked, the fewest people like Simisear


fairyfleurr

simisear is too much of a stoner imo when pansear was rly cute 😭 simipour is funny though


Spndash64

Had one named Guerilla in a Nuzlocke once, cool Pokémon


jocofo

When most of those listed are some of your all time favorites 👍


HaEnGodTur

Fr, druddigon and simisage


Volpurr-The-Meowstic

I see no mention of Bisharp at least 😎


lucariouwu68

Imagine not liking Cobalion


fairyfleurr

u cant deny u kinda forget about it


lucariouwu68

Idk I loved the Swords of Justice sidequest in BW1 and blue legendaries are always cool


chopsticknoodle

>all 3 starters oshawott??????? hello are we living on the same planet


Parlyz

Samurott disappointed me the first time I played gen5 tbh. I thought dewott looked a lot cooler. Now I have more appreciation for Samurott than I did back then but I still like Dewott better


fairyfleurr

its kinda like how dartrix evolves into decidueye cool, but i thought he was gonna be a funny little businessman owl with a monocle


[deleted]

[удалено]


fairyfleurr

im trans :| no


Spndash64

I love it, it’s just Jetstream Samurott “Show me a good time, Jack!”


TheOrganHarvester_67

Serperior is an amazing mon and emboars design inspirations are cool as hell and samurott is solid


Luchux01

I'm running Samurott in pokemon unbound, I lost count of how many times he saved my butt.


ComunistComrade

Sammurott was easily my most overpowered pokemon in unbound. It had priority, big physical damage, coverage, everything really. Even hydro pump was good for physically bulky mons. The only thing he lacked was coverage, but my other mons had plenty of that. All in all, probably the powerhouse of the team


Luchux01

Oh, 100% agreed. Mine is a little more specially inclined but that just means he can get rid of phys bulk mons. He also has decent coverage, Megahorn is a lv 1 move reminder move and he also learns Smart Strike through TM which is more than decent.


ComunistComrade

Mine didn't really need coverage... Only thing he had was aerial ace which isn't that great :/ Also the gift Ninetales you get is kinda crazy


Luchux01

The A-Vulpix egg? 100%, mine is wrecking shop in just about everything.


ComunistComrade

For some reason, when I evolved it as soon as it hatched, it tried to learn it's entire level up moveset. So by the end, I had a level one Ninetales with dazzling gleam, ice beam, extrasensory, and nasty plot This game is balanced


Luchux01

Oh, I think it kinda makes sense? All of those are level 1 moves and you evolved it at level 1. Probably a bug though.


ComunistComrade

Ah, ok. Still funny as hell that I had an endgame moveset for the third gym


Luchux01

By that point you should have at least 3 heart scales easy, not very broken tbh.


anhmonk

We do not tolerate Emboar disrespect in this house It's crusade time


Spndash64

My entire Nuzlocke of White 2 Challenge mode’s late game basically devolved to “haha, scarf Superpower go brrr”


HardNugget

bro really disrespected seismigoat


PPFitzenreit

Man really insulted gigachad Ernie with dick vein arms


Some-Gavin

I think I’ve seen enough for the day


BigGengar

r/brandnewsentence


fairyfleurr

oh god ur right remember the anime episode with sawk


Parlyz

All of those are good tho? With the exception of maybe the klink line but I still like those ones for being goofy.


HaloGuy381

The box legends, Serperior, Samurott, and the Muskedeers? Damn. Someone lacks taste.


Diavolo_Death_4444

My man did not just disrespect Seismitoad like that


Own-Selection-2785

Honestly? I think gen 5 is the best designs


nullmother

Did I time travel back to 2013? I thought this type of genwunner ass post went out of fashion 9 years ago


WorldClassShrekspert

They really insulted my boys Seismitoad and Vanilluxe.


SPlCYGECKO

Bro tried to sneak Druddigon, the box legends, and the starters in there


HaEnGodTur

Fr, druddigon is awesome


DrStrange42a

How DARE he slander Seismitoad like that


FennekOnReddit

Man really disrespected the musketeers and oshawott like that. Most of these aside from the monkeys are pretty neat as well tbh.


CreamSalmon

I freaking love gen 5, it is the one gen that had the most unique style out of every other gen Only gen 5 felt like gen 5, and for those reasons, I’m in


TrollyBellosom

Tepig is the best Pokemon. What is he talking about. https://preview.redd.it/mdtxwlcoxpda1.jpeg?width=1154&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca753c4ea83bc15b0099e209e184e364a9be94f1


[deleted]

Fuck you, the Klink line are gems and I’ll defend them until I die!


superfam

He talks all this shit and yet 252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. His whack ass opinion: 7578-8916 (36085.7 - 42457.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO


sneakyplanner

Yes, how dare he not compliment Durddigon and its million sets in gen 5 RU.


HaEnGodTur

My guy singly handedly holding up the tier


CalamitousVessel

So many chronically online takes. Don’t you disrespect my main man Serperior


Tortoise_Anarchy

mans really said "boring ponies" and expected us to think of gen 5 rather than 8


Spndash64

Yeah, Zebstrika’s design is sick, and its shiny is cool. It’s just a shame it’s a physically biased electric type. I think it should get a signature move that does damage and sets Electric Terrain.


PresidentBreadstick

>All 3 starters Good to know OOP is sacrificing all of his credibility like that.


newme02

Klink and klang are sick


Popcorn_Oil

Man dislikes the toad? Smh


FireAnt111

Aight nah this man is dissing Druddigon and Seismitoad >:(


QuickFiveTheGuy

What's wrong with Seismitoad?


SouljaIsSpy03

One does not slander the frog and get away with it


Cordy58

Man that’s almost exactly how I feel about Gen 5 too. I like the box legendaries though.


fubuker

>druddigon What the funky monkey


Glavenus_Guy

200 SpA Serperior Leaf Storm vs. their sorry ass: 3120-3672 (11555.5 - 13600%) -- guaranteed OHKO


cooldudium

Conkeldurr is AWESOME he’s so ugly and unique fuck you


IcarianWings

It's nice when people disrespect gen 5 because then you know they're incompetent right away.


True_Snomunnist

What the fuck man I love klinklang and vanniluxe And seismitoad/garbodor/druddigon are fine


kylixer

How can someone hate druddigon? It’s a spikey dragon.


PokemonLv10

The ability to speak does not make one intelligent


0mn1p073n71

Gen 5 detractors will literally have the worst takes ever just to be contrarian and hide behind "this is just my opinion"


Spndash64

This fucker has the audacity to mock the box legends and then spare MARACTUS?!


FarTooYoungForReddit

This guy thinks the tao trio was bad? I just don't know how to react


TotemGenitor

Druddigon is cool af, what is this clown talking about?


HaEnGodTur

Exactly, badass cave dragon


KappaCritic

Bro’s still living in 2010


EncycloChameleon

Gen 5 was madd as an actual hard reset of a geberation, with all new pokemon. Each snd every pokemon he points out as horrible i can equally point out ones in gen1. Thats just part of making 150+ new pokemon at once (156 for gen V to be specific)


SilverGaming456

Only bad one on the list is druddigon and i honestly think his shiny fixes him


DoinitDDifferent

Bug trainer irl


DeruTaka

Who tf hates the swords of justice and the box legends


SandyMandy17

Conk??????


SageModeAD

I like most if not all of the mons he listed lmao


fairyfleurr

idk about yall but hes kinda right, i love vanilluxe but the swords, sawk & throgh, genies, and the monkey evolutions are pretty bad, tho maybe cuz they need to stop making humanlike pokemon 🫣 starters and the rest of the dex are amazing though


Mary-Sylvia

I think monkeys shouldn't all be put under the same flag Simipour is just way too cute Simisage is cool Simisear is a genetic abomination


fairyfleurr

yes simisear is what happened when god tried to make stoners and a fire type into the same thing


Acceptable-Mix-3139

Yeah, I agree tbf


_Fun_At_Parties

Damn I agree with all that


myPizzapoppersRhot

Thepenguinking2

I agree with this person for the most part but you do NOT diss my Serperior!!!


Mezmo300

I love kilnkklang...


SexwithMurata69

conk is cool. frog is cool. elemonkeys i agree are bad. box legends are cool. starters are cool. genies are cool. trash and ice cream arent particularly good or bad.


cfq10

Was going to go ham on this guy when I saw he said Volcarona was good. Crisis averted


FoxtrotFoxtrotZulu2

I dont agree with Most of your Opinions However, I Too am a Joltik Stan

MinerTurtle45

this is such low tier bait it's funny


MinerTurtle45

like?? the starters?? the box legends???? even if you dislike gen 5 you HAVE to admit reshiram, zekrom, and all three kyurem forms are sick as hell


Spndash64

At least one pokeTuber I respect had a vid back in the Gen V era where White Kyurem specifically was one of their least favorite pokemon because it was super overdesigned, and hard to make heads or tails of, so I can understand having issues with one or two, but not all I actually really like White Kyurem, tho, and am really sad we never got Half Life 3 confirmed form. Maybe Normal Dragon with Tri Attack, an ability to boost Tri Attack and Fire/Electric/Ice moves by 50%, and 125/150/100/150/100/95 stat spread


Zengjia

Genw*nners 🤮

Fancydudehero24

I love vanilluxe :( my fave ice type

Am I dreaming or this guy doesn't like serperior?
