Description
Part 9: Least favourite PokemonDisclaimer: Topic of least favourite Pokemon is subjected based on my own bias and own experiences. If anyone likes Dragonite or others that I may talk about in the description, more power to you, I mean no offence.
So, the reason why it took me so long to get this done. First off is because really, I don't have any Pokemon that I hate, so it took me a few days to think of what to draw. Then, I went back to Showdown and then I encountered players with Dragonites, Garchomps and Goodras. I remembered being mildly annoyed by presence of either of those three in the past, so it's time to narrow it down.
For Garchomp, I wasn't fond of it because it's stats and typing was essentially an improved Flygon, which is one of my favourites, it's all that accursed land shark that took its chance to shine away. If only there was some way to differentiate the two better, give them two radically different roles they can play, like, oh I don't know, mega evolution, change its typing, whatever? That's pretty much my only reason. Everything else, its design and whatnot, I'm fine with it. And because of that, Garchomp's not the one.
Then for Goodra, it was because of its design and typing. I'm just not digging the snail-ish motif and the jolly-looking design. When I think of pseudo-legendaries, I think of killer bada**es that can intimidate prey and enemies with the look alone. Anyone daring enough to get near would be given a good ol' *insert powerful attack here* immediately. Goodra... does none of that. It doesn't look frightening or powerful and is more of a defensive mon. I do not have a problem if they want to try something like this, but if it's a powerful yet peaceful creature, I would be thinking the Bewilderbeast from How to Train Your Dragon 2 howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com… , not Barney the Dinosaur's slimy cousin. Why isn't Goodra on this? Because this'll be where I get a tad personal.
The last candidate, Dragonite. Why do I put this as my least favourite? Besides the jolly-looking design which ironically plays quite a smaller role compared to Goodra's, my "unfavouritism" towards Dragonite comes from my own experience with raising one. (yes, it's another story time with thejules1998) Back when I was on my second runthrough on LeafGreen, I wanted to best my cousin who had a Dragonite that had been one of his main teammates. He also told me to go raise a Dragonite on my own because it was "just so amazing". So, I went to get a Dratini from the game corner... so much money lost. Then I went to train it, which took a long time because I was taking a spin on the PSP and it takes a really special time to get me to pick up my GameBoy. So, by the time I was done, when Dragonite's given the moves I want and at its 80s, my cousin was like " Oh, don't want to play." My time was wasted, but whatever. Then, years later, during my time in Showdown, some of the trainers that I faced had Dragonites, and those were usually the ones that swept my teams, few even shouting " OG FTW" and the like. I admit, I'm probably being petty and unreasonable for associating whatever hard feelings I had onto Dragonite, so sue me, I'm filling quota while being passive-aggressive about it.
