new pokemon suck. original 150 are the only pokemon i recognize

Level 23

Apr 30, 2013

Agreed. I couldn't even use the pokemon hints (except of Pikachu, Geodude, Machop and Muk). Though, I just went through each pokemon i knew to get these types.

Level 17

Nov 5, 2016

Yeah, I pretend that all the Pokémon after Gen 2 don't exist.

Level 14

Apr 30, 2013

You're right, we should only recognise the characters that came out in 1996 for a quiz made in 2013. -__-

Level 37

Apr 30, 2013

i agree with chris (sorta). The original 150 were the best but i liked some of the second gen too. I think they made too many though and should have just eliminated or changed some if they wanted to add different ones. Like Chansey is dumb and could have gone 'extinct' to make room for something better. Magneton and Dugtrio are also dumb since they are basically just three Magnemites or Digletts combined, so I don't get where the 'evolution' happens.

Level 59

Apr 30, 2013

I think the first 386 (the first three generations) were all great. 4th generation pushed the envelope quite a bit, and 5th generation was just a bad idea. The games still rock, though.

+33

Level 67

Jul 21, 2013

I don't understand why people hate on 4th and 5th gen so much, some without even playing the games. The Pokemon have become FAR more imaginative since some of Gen 1's *cough* Voltorb *cough*

I do love Gen 1 though, as I love all the gens

Level 25

Nov 27, 2013

What I can't get over is that there is a pokemon named after, and designed from an ice cream cone haha

Level 65

Aug 6, 2023

it's an icicle with snow on top, don't hate on ma boy vanilluxe

also "muk" and "seel" hello anyone?

Level 44

Oct 27, 2015

Now there are at least three pokemon cats, each one normal-type and with one evolution. I think 4th gen and following showed less creativity.

Level 65

Mar 5, 2024

Persian, Purrugly, and Delcatty do all look unique though

+21

Level 16

Nov 23, 2015

@Geoboy Lawl, except AFTER Gen4 we got a dark cat line (Gen5's Purrloin/Liepard) and a psychic cat line (Gen6's Espurr/Meowstic). Gens 5 and 6 introduced some of the best of the entire series. People get so hung up on the vanillite line, but don't take into account that the creators also must appeal to all kids and all genders, not just the veteran players. And let's talk about the atrocities of gen 1: voltorb/electrode, muke/grimer, lickitung, cloyster... all Generations have their ups and downs.

Level 23

Apr 27, 2016

lets also not forget the pokemon that is literally garbage.

Level 65

Aug 6, 2023

like grimer and muk? trubbish and garbodor complete the trilogy of air/water/land pollution along with the previously mentioned and koffing/weezing

also, trubbish's ears look like a trash bag knot lol! clever!

Level 45

Sep 21, 2017

@NamedMan 5th gen was just straight up terrible, knowing you, that is probably the very first one you played. You see, the rest of us grew up on it. It was our childhood. Originals are always better than sequels, especially if there's like 5 or 6 more.

Level 65

Aug 6, 2023

there were plenty of great ideas in the recent gens

shoo now, genwunner

Level 59

Nov 28, 2017

@jakobbbbb if you forgot than the Klink, Trubbish and Vanillite lines exsisted, you would probably think it was the best generation ever, guaranteed.

+18

Level 59

Jun 11, 2018

@Jakobbbbb Also, you just said that the only reason people would like Gen 5 is if it was their first game (implying it was part of their childhood), and then proceed to talk about how the other game were apart of YOUR childhood and that somehow makes them better.

Level 73

Sep 29, 2019

Nah. The original were cool, bur there are WAY better ones in Sinnoh, Hoenn, and Kalos. Even Johto has a couple. Kanto offered a starter's pack. That's it

Level 71

Sep 13, 2021

Agree with Insaniot. I think Gens 3 and 4 were peak Pokemon design, but Gen 5 was good too. Cool starters, awesome legendaries (including the Fighting Quartet, which is even better than Zekrom/Reshiram), some pretty innovative designs like Sigilyph and Zoroark. Even into Gen 6 there were some cool ones, like Inkay/Malamar and Pangoro.

I will say I'm less impressed with the past 2 generations. Still, that hasn't ruined my enjoyment of the franchise, especially since all of the games include previous Pokemon. I think Gen Wunners are just pretentious and make up excuses to act like they're too good for Pokemon.

Level 65

Aug 6, 2023

recent gens have a lot more thought put into the designs though! we've got some really cool stuff!

Level 40

Dec 8, 2021

exactly

Level 65

Jun 28, 2022

The creators put so much thought and time and effort into a Pokémon's designs, not to mention the lore, story, origins, and abilities of that Pokémon. It's no wonder that there are so many filler Pokémon so that they can actually make the generation!

Level 46

Dec 5, 2022

@jakobbbbbb i agree, gen 5 was dog doodoo

Level 45

Apr 30, 2013

You mean 151?

Level 46

Dec 5, 2022

mewtwo wasnt added until after the first pokemon movie released

Level 65

Aug 6, 2023

*mew

Level 53

Apr 30, 2013

Steel and dark types didn't even exist for the first 151*, so the quiz wouldn't work...

Level 59

Apr 30, 2013

Except for Magnemite and Magneton for steel (although in versions Green, Red, Blue, and Yellow, they were only electric, so you're not entirely wrong).

Level 58

Oct 21, 2014

Steel types did, it was only dark types that didn't exist until 2nd gen. And fairy debuted in X and Y, and I refuse to recognize fairy as a true pokemon type.

Level 66

Oct 30, 2014

No, lolrobbielol is right. There were Pokemon in generation 1 that were later given the steel type, but the steel type itself did not exist until generation 2.

Level 14

Feb 16, 2017

Because pokemon were only single typed until the re-release

Level 66

Oct 23, 2018

Not true. Dual types always existed, they just retconned a few new ones as time went on, usually when they introduced new types. That was the problem with Ghost types in Generation 1: they were supposed to be the counter to Psychic types, but the only Ghost-type Pokemon were Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar, all of whom were Ghost/Poison dual types (and since Poison is weak to Psychic for... some reason, that meant they were ineffective counters for Psychic Pokemon).

Level 47

Dec 5, 2022

The Ghost - Psychic type matchup was also miscoded, where instead of being weak to Ghost, Psychic types were immune to them.

Level 48

Feb 17, 2016

yes because round ball, and upside down round ball were much better than 3 headed dragon, or flying genies

Level 59

Nov 28, 2017

I don’t remember any flying genies in my Pokémon games

Level 65

Aug 6, 2023

forces of nature trio?

Level 62

Feb 12, 2021

THANK YOU

+21

Level 64

Sep 16, 2016

People only like all the originals better because of nostalgia, there are plenty of bad ideas in there like every other gen. There's literally a standard looking snake whose name is ekans, which is just 'snake' spelt backwards. There's a pile of purple goo with eyes called Muk. There's a seal called Seel etc.

151 dude

+11

Level 41

Aug 8, 2017

Why? Gen 2-6 were all just as good. Is it because of nostalgia that you have this paradigm? If so, you must stop this kind of "old times, best times" mentality because it can ultimately lead to catastrophe for you and everyone around you.

Level 32

Jan 17, 2018

Also it was 151 don't forget mew! :v

Level 14

Feb 7, 2018

even if you dont know all the pokemon you still should know all the types lol.

Level 17

Mar 13, 2018

"New" Pokemon are considerably better for competitive play, and gen. 1 was REALLY broken.

Level 37

Mar 13, 2019

you kidding? gen 2 and three pokemon were thought of a lot better. they got better designs, better names.

sure after that it got outta hand, but i kept playing with pleasure until the final 3ds game. (i ain't buying no switch)

Level 82

Oct 14, 2019

Because nothing is cooler than a fish that just flops around on the ground and doesn't do anything else.

Level 65

Mar 5, 2024

Yeah, it's supposed to be useless, the contrast with its evolution is the point of the mon

Level 73

Nov 30, 2019

Original 151*. Also the original aren't even the best, the starters aren't as amazing as people put them out to be. Also the newer games are much better and fun to play rather than the first few games' pixelated style. I get it that it didn't have much to work with but it's still not as good as games like Black, White, Platinum, etc.

Level 89

Sep 11, 2021

When they started making garbage can and ice cream cone Pokémon I knew they had jumped the shark, I only will play red, blue, yellow, silver, gold

Level 65

Jun 28, 2022

When they made ball and upside-down ball and pile of goop and tripling for evolution, I knew that there's also cool dragons and powerful psychics and mega bioengineered super-Pokémon and that you should stop being sore about a few boring Pokémon designs.

Level 14

Sep 21, 2021

So you hate fun?

Level 42

Oct 18, 2021

then don't play the new games lol

Level 28

Apr 30, 2013

You should make the answers "Pure" types. Skarmory is a Flying/Steel type. It would have made more sense to put Mawile or Klink since they are both pure steel types. Just a thought. :-)

Level 14

Apr 30, 2013

I see what you're saying but I was aiming for pokemon more people would recongize not neccessarily pure

Level 32

Apr 30, 2013

Pure Steel: Klang

Pure Dragon: Fraxure.

Just a suggestion, great quiz otherwise.

Level 59

Oct 20, 2017

Tons of people know Klink, whether it be in a good way or not...

Level 32

Jan 17, 2018

Pure Psychic: Mew. Your pick: Duosion

Level 59

May 11, 2018

There’s nothing wrong with Duosion. It’s a pure psychic type.

Level 78

Oct 14, 2019

@Insaniot Yes, but the point made was that the QM was trying to choose more recognisable pokemon, so why would he choose the relatively unknown Duosion, when Mew is much ore recognisable

Level 57

Mar 31, 2022

Most people would recognize Skarmory? And not Magnemite? Even then you can just guess anything cause all 18 types are there.

Level 6

Apr 17, 2014

Um, Mawile is a Steel/Fairy so that wouldn't work either.

Level 91

Jul 17, 2014

I never touched a Pokémon or watched anything to do with them. I do know they battle each other, so I just threw a bunch of elements I thought might come into play. Surprisingly, I was only able to get 6 in this fashion. Bug, Grass, and Normal, for instance, do not immediately spring to mind when you ask the question "what would be useful in a fight".

Level 65

Jun 28, 2022

You mean a Pokémon game? 'Cuz I don't think anyone's touched a Pokémon before. Also, the plant/earth/nature/wood element is a pretty popular element in media.

Level 27

Oct 16, 2014

I never knew of a fairy pokemon.....

Level 65

Jun 28, 2022

It's new to Gen VI.

Level 34

Mar 21, 2015

Some people who complain about Fairy not being a real type need to get over themselves and remember that dark types didn't exist until the 2nd Generation

Level 31

Sep 29, 2015

Its a good quiz, but there are dual types that can make it confusing. For example; Skamory is a dual flying and steel type so it is quite confusing. Geodude is a ground-rock type

Good quiz though,
