I'm not going to attack you for it or anything, but what about Mr. Mime appeals to you? I genuinely can't see it.

What could I possibly like about such an ugly Pokémon right? xD Well, for some reason I've always found myself drawn to the scary designs, and it's even better if something that is meant to be cute/friendly becomes scary in some unfortunate way - like a doll (points at avatar), or a clown (pantomime players are a species of clown in my book)... Clowns are some of the least likeable characters in literature, and many children are afraid of them for good reasons! A clown is the perfect example of a concept that was introduced with good intentions, but just didn't pan out so well - wonderful if you ask me

On to our beloved (please don't hurt me!) pantomime player, which Game Freak decided should have a Fairy-typing just for laughs, we see a similar issue: even though it's a friendly Pokémon by design, people are appalled by it! To me, that's what a clown is about, and Mr. Mime displays this perfectly, even with its design keeping younger audiences in mind. For a Pokémon that is to represent the art of pantomime, Mr. Mime's design could not have been better.

The reasons to follow have more to do with my personal experience than preference, and some of you may remember the very first Mr. Mime card in the TCG, from the Jungle expansion: it was the ultimate wall, with only Nidoking able to OHKO it even though it only had 40HP. I liked everything about the card and the deck it was played in (Alakazam + Chansey), which will surely have resulted in an appreciation for the Pokémon featured. The same goes for the Pokémon video games: Mr. Mime is a horrid Pokémon, but has one specific niche, which just so happens to be my playstyle of choice. Playing through the game with a team of Pokémon that by themselves isn't worth much, but accomplishes great things when put together (Baton Pass for those who haven't figured it out), is a fun challenge, and Mr. Mime always proves to be a valuable inclusion.

I think we may conclude that I take a liking to the more unusual tactics - you could say I like to see just how far I can push the game's rules - and to the more unusual Pokémon in extent. All in all in my opinion the concept Mr. Mime is based on is not supposed to be likeable, or popular, and Mr. Mime fits these expectations perfectly. One could say that when designing Mr. Mime, Game Freak worried too much about whether they could fit in a similar concept, an too little about whether they should: basing a Pokémon on a pantomime player is just plain stupid - I can't disagree with you there -, but my, how it worked out!

I think that's part of what makes pokemon so awesome. There's just so much variation at this point that there's always going to be a pokemon for basically anyone's personal taste or preferences.
Of course, there's going to be some pokemon people don't like, but you know how the old saying goes; "one man's garbage is another man's treasure".

Lot's of people complain about Vanilluxe, but my sister thinks it's one of the cutest pokemon to exist.
I hear a lot of people complain about Patrat and Bidoof, but I kind of like their goofy designs, and the DS Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games made me like Bidoof even more.

 

[cstonic]

Top 5 best (atm):
1. Mewtwo
2. Gardevoir
3. Lucario/Greninja (can't decide)
4. Darkrai
5. Sceptile
Honorable Mentions: Rayquaza, Giratina, Deoxys, Absol, Glaceon, and Latias.
Can't think of any dislikes.

Why do you hate Lugia?

It could happen, but it also could NOT happen. I WANT that to happen, but it's not guaranteed.

Hes just such a tank, esp if you dont have a taunter. lol

Heyyyyy, Smashboards newbie here. I'm here to give you a theoretical Mewtwo release scenario.

Imagine that on April 1st, you check your email, and buh-bam, the codes for Mewtwo are right there.
You explode with excitement, and immediately use the download codes for your games.
You start up the game and immediately check the character roster.
Mewtwo isn't there.
Pichu is.
You simply look at the screen in shock.
You then throw your 3ds on the ground.
The next day, there's a Nintendo Direct.
Sakurai appears and reveals that the Pichu codes were a April Fools Joke, as well as telling that the actual Mewtwo codes are going to be released right after the direct.
Sakurai then says "Please understand" while Iwata and Reggie come bursting in flailing their arms as rave music comes on.

I would simply die of happiness if we got Pichu AND Mewtwo....<3 I loved them both so much!

 

[ThePsychoWolf]

I'm an old Gen I veteran myself. Hoping for a 3DS remake of Red/Blue next year for the 20th anniversary. Gen I is probably my favorite generation, and Kanto my favorite region, because it always feels like I'm going home.
2nd place is probably a toss up between Gens 5 and 6. Gen V introduced a lot of my favorite pokemon(Serperior, Volcarona, Hydreigon, Haxorus, Braviary, Scolipede, Krookodile, Galvantula, Elgyem/Beheeyem, Chandelure, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Liepard, Gothitelle, well a lot, really). And Gen VI made the leap to 3D and introduced 2 of the coolest freaking pokemon ever, Tyrantrum and Noivern. I also love Pyroar, Talonflame, Greninja, Delphox, Heliolisk, Gourgeist, Trevenant and a ton of others.
I love the region of Johto, but there's only a handful of Johto pokemon that I actually like. And I found the region of Sinnoh kind of bland, but it has some of the best starters and legendaries, as well as one of the neatest mythologies, in the entire series.

And then you have me where I'd be overjoyed to have Pichu back.

Dude... Pichu Amiibos!!!

Yeah that could probably help lol

 

[ZephyrZ]

Heyyyyy, Smashboards newbie here. I'm here to give you a theoretical Mewtwo release scenario.

Well I'm 100% certain something like this would never happen for a variety of reasons, I'd actually really appreciate it.
Getting not one, but two veterans back would be awesome, even if one of them is just a joke character.

 

[ThePsychoWolf]

I would rather get back every other cut vet in the series first, than Pichu. Then I'd take Pichu, to use as a punching bag.

[PurpleSoda]

Mewtwo moveset.THIS WILL SUCK

Mewtwo moveset.THIS WILL SUCK

Even if he comes out bottom tier I'd still play him.

 

[PurpleSoda]

I would so,etimes like in Melee

 

[Smashbro596]

I would so,etimes like in Melee

maybe same moveset. but that doesnt always mean he will suck...
ness was also low tier. now hes quite high. with the same moveset.

 

[VioletSmashfan]

Here's my 10 favorite Pokemon that I use the most during my years of playing:
1. Gardevoir (She'll always have a place on my team no matter what, she's there till the end)
2. Gallade (can't have Gardie without having her partner in-crime)
3. Lucario (Smash bros main since Brawl, plus he's a beast when used right (I even have a rare female Lucario that's just a powerhouse on Attack on Black version)
4. Magnezone (Magneton was 1 of my main Electric types back in the 1st 2 Gens (till Ampharos came along), it was funny teaching it Mimic just to have it sweep teams easily, however when this guy popped up out of nowhere, I knew it was the One, it's one of my favorite Electric types ever introduced in Gen IV next to Electivire)
5. Tyranitar (that guy has been a life saver since Gen II, on-and-off member)
6. Electivire (right up there with Magnezone/Gallade for often used new evolution during the Gen IV era, funny on how it could learn flamethrower and earthquake, 2nd favorite Electric type)
7. Gothitelle (I like goth based characters, if only her head shape was a bit more like Gardevoir's then she'd be perfect, had 1 tanked all 3 Musketdeers while catching all 3 in Pokeballs)
8. Aggron (basically the Mechagodzilla to Tyranitar's Godzilla, he was right up there for most used 3rd Gen Pokemon right next to Gardevoir, Lunatone and Blaziken)
9. Porygon-Z (this final evolved member of the Porygon line looks like he came back from a glitching session with Vanellope and got spazzed out in the process which is why I like him, he hits as hard if not harder than Alakazam)
10. Bisharp (Evil Gallade counterpart, plus this guy is a meat eater, and looks like a samurai/shogun a little bit).

Honorable mentions:
Typhlosion (made the mistake taking Megainium during my 1st time playing Silver)
Ampharos
Steelix (it's a shame he's soo slow, but yet he's fun to use)
Blaziken
Klinkklang (basically the Gen V counterpart to the Magnemite line, sucks he's not Electric/Steel type like they are that would have helped it out more since it knows more Electric type moves than it's own Steel type)
Emboar (he appealed to me far more than Serperior and Samurott ever could, plus he reminds me of Ganon)
Torterra
Empoleon
Lunatone (appeals to me more so than Solrock)

I would be happy for Pichu even before I find out it was a joke and Mewtwo is coming after.

If you actually look up it's design origins on Bulbapedia it's partially based on a shogun in a way along with some Kamen Riders/Power Rangers influence.

Phione is a waste of space, especially considering you can't evolve it into Manaphy. It's just there.

And it's an inferior Manaphy anyway.

I have a plushie of 1, thought it was Manaphy at 1st till I looked at it's feelers and it only had 1.

Kirlia, Meloetta, Violet and Cosmo are my most wanted plushies, it's a shame that the 1s I want are soo darn hard to get/find.

FYI: The Cosmo plushie is the 1 from Sonic X (the 1 that's based on Kirlia), not the Fairly Odd Parents character that's named Cosmo.

[Superior Spider-Mew]

I would like a Mew plush and a Delphox plush....and another lucario plush because I can never have enough of those lol

 

[---]

It's funny but I still have a lot of the old school Gen 1 plushies. I just never had the heart to throw them out.

Pikachu, Meowth, Poliwhirl, Psyduck, Gengar stuffed animals.

Mewtwo and Ivysaur plushies (yes they made an Ivysaur plush).

And a giant stuffed Snorlax and Gengar.

Mini-plushes of Bulbasaur and an old BK Togepi plush. Though I may also still have the BK Gyarados and Butterfree plushies hiding somewhere.

I don't collect them anymore but they certainly have gone up in price from what I remember.

 

[eltacoenojado]

I always feel so lost when you guys talk Pokémon. I only ever played Blue. I'm only here because I fell in love with Mewtwo in smash bros hahaha

 

[PLATINUM7]

The only Pokemon plushie I have is a Machamp that came with a fast food meal.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Welp, I missed a lot so...

Best Gen is 2 by far. Stopped playing after 4 though, the latter ones don't interest me anymore.

Best season of Pokémon will always be Indigo League. Worst is any season without Brock.

Top 5:
1.Lugia
2. Feraligator
3. Typhlosion
4. Deoxys
5. Mewtwo
Worst:
1. Unown
2. Delphox
3. Chestnaught
4. Goldeen
5. Zoroark (sorry)

Heyyyyy, Smashboards newbie here. I'm here to give you a theoretical Mewtwo release scenario.

Imagine that on April 1st, you check your email, and buh-bam, the codes for Mewtwo are right there.
You explode with excitement, and immediately use the download codes for your games.
You start up the game and immediately check the character roster.
Mewtwo isn't there.
Pichu is.
You simply look at the screen in shock.
You then throw your 3ds on the ground.
The next day, there's a Nintendo Direct.
Sakurai appears and reveals that the Pichu codes were a April Fools Joke, as well as telling that the actual Mewtwo codes are going to be released right after the direct.
Sakurai then says "Please understand" while Iwata and Reggie come bursting in flailing their arms as rave music comes on.

So I get 2 characters as my bonus. Sweet even if I detest Pichu because every other gen that happened during the time of a smash game got an actual rep but gen 2 got...that.
