Another B/W Pokémon that I wasn't terribly fond of but have found a liking for is Cyrogonal. I admit, I was kind of creeped out by its face at first. But once I put that aside and gave it a try, I realized how great it was as a special attacker/special wall. My level 50 one has 151 SDEF and can really take quite a few hits too. And Frost Breath is awesome with its auto-crit capabilities. Hrimthur really proved its worth at Opelucid, let me tell ya.

Trubbish and Garbodor.
Seriously. At first I tought that they were terrible. But with time I started seeing some cool fanarts and after reading a wonderful text about that evoluiton line on bogleech.....I ended falling in love with those cute trash thingies. I'm sure that Garbodor is in my top 10. This post has been edited by Aztos: Aug 24 2013, 01:34 AM -------------------- |

Staraptor, Crobat, growlithe, Chespin, and Lucario. I never liked lucario for battling because mine was...well...weak... I had no idea they could learn Aura Sphere. I never knew how badass lucario was. Yeah I'm stupid.

I used to dislike Gible, for I though it was sqwat and ugly. Then, I learned it evolved into Garchomp. Got one into my party immediately.

I really didn't like Stoutland's design at first and refused to evolve my Herdier into it. Now I think it's pretty cute.

Probably Magnemite would be one, Back when I was a kid, and they introduced that Pokemon, I thought inorganic Pokemon were kinda stupid. I guess it weirded me out or something, 'cause I always thought of Pokemon as different versions of animals. But now, I absolutely LOVE Magnemite! The fact that it IS inorganic fascinates me, plus I have always loved electric type Pokemon. I mean, come on, they look like floating magnets, and now I find them kinda cute in a way <3

I think I'd have to say Kingdra.
It was just hard in Pokemon Gold trying to beat Clair's Kingdra. I wasn't a fan of dragon types actually until 3rd generation came along. Flygon and Salamence were amazing! (And still are!) -------------------- |

Pokemon like the Turtwig line and Umbreon (who is now my favorite Pokemon) have grown on me a lot. Vaporeon, Crobat, Dewgong, Miltank, and the Shinx line have grown on me a lot too.

Why, Bipen... Why'd you have to die...
So I think it'll have to be Ampharos. Like... Honestly I never really liked them but as soon as PkmnRob came out with Bipen as the ace... <3 that guy now Yes Bipen. You ARE a dragon -------------------- Wanna dance? (click to show ) |

When Sinnoh first came out I found Torterra hideous but I decided to start with Turtwig in my Platinum and grew very fond of it. I adore my Torterra. His name is Boston and he's amazing.
Interestingly with Chikorita in Jhoto I went the other way, favored it for a long time but a year or so ago decided that Cyndaquil was both better looking throughout it's entire line in addition to being stronger and more useful. Also I recently realized it type advantages almost half the gyms. Azelea, Olivine and Mohogany. This post has been edited by Dont Make a Sound: Dec 11 2013, 01:45 AM |

Was never really a big fan of Gulpin until I caught one in Pokemon Y and developed an appreciation for it's cuteness and ability to swallow and digest literally anything, then it started to evolve and I was worried it wouldn't be cute anymore but I fell in love with Swalot straight away and it's definitely up there with my favourite pokemon now Love feeding him in Pokemon Amie, so funny and cute. I accidentally dropped his pokepuff once and he got so cranky!

Shedinja. The thought of having to look at the dark abyss of a hole on its back during battle unnerved me. The fact it only had 1hp when you first got it pissed me off.
But. Shedinja uses Safeguard. It only had 1hp. So use a Focus Sash. UNSTOPPABLE. That, and I must admit that it is pretty cute from the front. The vagina that is its back is still horrifying lmao. -------------------- I do gaming videos! Please have a look! Emmagurd's Youtube My fiancé does gaming videos for Minecraft, PVK and other stuff!

Trubbish is easily the biggest example. In the buildup to BW's release, I absolutely hated it and would constantly rail on it for its design. Then I got BW and encountered one. And the animation and cry just converted me instantly. I legit find Trubbish to just be adorable.

I found Chatot to be stupid and Buizel to be useless. My thoughts of the two haven't changed. ALTHOUGH Chatot was my main fighter in Diamond until my Infernape outleveled it.
Er, for this one I'm going to have to say Sableye. I found that it was worse than Spiritomb in battle and just looked plain stupid. It has grown on me thanks to its higher speed. -------------------- I used to be Cyogre, ILoveTaillowHesCute, TaillowIsCuteAndCool, Tart Spop, Tartius Spopius, Tartii, King of the Eevees and MasteroftheFlames.

I never thought I'd actually confess this in public, but...
When I had decided to run my first Nuzlocke game, I had run it on my Pokemon Pearl. I started with a Piplup and named him Archie (Sapphire reference, anyone?). It was only a bit later that I caught my Bidoof. Female. Most everyone hates Bidoofs, right? Heh, that's the same thing I thought. I named her Felicity since I had to nickname every Pokemon I caught and didn't think much of her. She proved more useful as a giant wall than I'd ever thought, until I got my Geodude named Geo. By that time, I had caught and named a Starly Pepper. Archie was low on health, so I sent out my Rock Smash-laden Bidoof, thinking she would be close to death by the time I got around to catching the thing. I was wrong. The thing barely made a dent in her fur. It wasn't until Roark I found some ounce of respect for her. Why? Archie was the first to die... If that Cranidos hadn't critted its Headbutt on Archie, he would have killed it. But that was not the case. Seeing that Geo would be vulnerable to the Cranidos, I sent out the only Pokemon I knew had a Fighting-type move: Felicity. She killed it with just two whacks. I sobbed heavy tears when I released Archie. But my love for Felicity grew ever more so as she became the next-biggest hitter. She was the one I looked to when I needed someone taken out immediately. She was the first one I attached a personality to (She was a lesbian in my head because she always came to the girls' rescue). When I lost Geo, my heart broke. By then, I turned full-force to Felicity, seeing as how I had very few Pokemon left (Pepper and my Drifloon, Delilah). And then the 3rd gym came. I tried to challenge it, but... I lost my Felicity. And everyone else fell after that. I couldn't touch the game for a month. So, the next time I look at a Bidoof, I'll always think of my Felicity. And my Kricketot, Danish. But that's another story for another time. -------------------- Quizzes (click to show ) Art Done For Me! (click to show ) Poker, anyone? *credit to Shads* (click to show ) |

I used to hate venonat. I thought it was incredibly ugly and creepy but one day it suddenly was the opposite. Now I think it is adorable and cudly. It is just such a purple fluffball with the cutest little fangs and hands and feet. I have no idea what changed.

Ironically Gyarados was the one that grew on me. Just its design gave me the creeps as a child. It wasn't until I started Nuzlocking that I started to like Magikarp, and then Gyarados. Now its one of my favorite Pokemon, though its design is still kinda creepy. But now I think that's a good thing. Let's see somebody cross me riding on a forever gaping serpent.
