This thread is for your top 5 Pokemon you feel (design wise) are under appreciated. 

NOTE: This is not a place to put up most hated Pokemon or Pokemon you love. Rather Pokemon you think are cool/nice/interesting looking but never get any attention. Without further delay, here are my top 5:

5. Fearow

 

I think Fearow is a good example of a Pokemon who has aged poorly, its design looked much more impressive back in Gen 1. This was as a mid-sized bird with large wings giving the impression of a long range glider. It came across a bit like this in the anime as well.

However its sprite design in Gen 6 let it down. Personally, I think the proportional size of its body, combined with its flapping wings, make it look like an oversized chicken - hence it looks very silly.

Also, I dont care what you say, Vanilluxe's design and the whole concept behind it sucks.

That's true!!! Finally, Raichu will get the love he deserves... ;_; Hopefully my other 4 picks follow.

Yep, maybe. I'd like to have an Alolan Raichu on my Sun team at least. Will probably be impossible to catch a Pikachu/Pichu/Raichu and you'll have to trade a Pikachu in and then evolve it just to get one now though

@bold Hopefully not! We desperately need some gen 2 or later Pokemon to get Alolan forms. Too much focus on gen 1 already!

I really doubt it will work like that, as given the descriptions of the changes being gentic rather than superficial an imported Pikachu wouldnt have the genes to eveolve into an Alolan Raichu. Plus it makes little sense for them to have a brand new design not in the game.

My bet is Pichu and Pikachu both have Alolan forms that have yet to be revealed. The same goes for Cubone and Execuggute.

Yeah, it probably won't be like that. But considering I want an Alolan Raichu it may happen just to spite me

Didn't they say that the only way to get non-Alolan forms of these Pokemon would be to trade them in once though? If that's what they said then it would mean a traded Pikachu could still be Alolanised. Not sure there would be Alolan forms for some of the non-evolved Pokemon though. I don't think it's necessary to do all of them since they'd still end up different anyway.

I think it would make more sense if the Alolan and non- Alolan lines were kept separate. Of the pre-evos I think Execuggute is the most likely to not have an Alolan form but Alolan Marowak is so different to its Non-Alolan form that it makes no sense for Cubine to not get an Alolan form itself.
