Pokemon everyone else likes that you dislike

[Frozen Fennec]

Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu. Far more overhyped than they ever should be I think.

 

[Phosphene]

Snorlax. It's a combination of a design I really can't get behind--I usually prefer my Pokemon either sleek and animal-like or cool-looking monster, of which Snorlax is neither in my opinion--and overexposure. Munchlax is far superior in my opinion. If DPPt remakes come, I might use one, and I can bet you there'll be an Eviolite on that sucker if I do.

*happy crying in the distance*

Infernape. It's design is weirdly complex and and it continued in the trend of "fire/fighting starter is the most popular". It's not fun to draw and makes it clear that I just really don't like fire starters with the exception of litten and scorbunny

Greninja and Charizard i am really starting to hate because of the overexposure.

 

[anjubatus]

I don't hate Pikachu, but Pichu and both Raichus are so much more charming to me.

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

It's uh... pretty easy for me to list Pokemon that I dislike that are otherwise popular.

Charizard
Pikachu
Lucario
Garchomp
Eevee and most other Eeveelutions sans Sylveon and Flareon.
Gallade
Goodra
Dragonite
Mewtwo
Ash-Greninja (I'm meh over regular Greninja)
Blaziken
Arceus

I was tempted to put the Pikaclones here, but they always just struck me as more divisive if anything, so I don't think they count

 

[Parissong]

Some of y'all 'bout to be real mad at me, but it must be said

Shiny Eevee looks like a rat

 

[DawningWinds]

-Greninja - It is ugly, horrible, disgusting, awful, overexposed, and just... Don't get me started on Ash-Greninja.
-Infernape - The worst fire/fighting starter.
-Snom - I mean, Greninja and Infernape was Pokémon's fault, but why is Snom so popular? It is not cute. Its face looks weird. It's got not one, but two 4x weaknesses. It has almost no redeeming qualities.

 

[toastghost]

why is Snom so popular?

That is one of life's greatest mysteries, but honestly I'm not complaining.

 

[Rocket Zigzagoon]

I don't totally hate Pikachu, but I personally find them overused at best, even though I do love the heart-shaped tail-cut (for both regular and Cosplay Pikachu) and Raichu's chipped tails.

Even though I am an Eevee fan, I am not a fan of Switch games' Eevee. I find the NDS/3DS Eevee fitting better with their design language.

 

[Captain Save A Ho-Oh]

Incineroar, Eevee

One has a trash design

the other is a meme pokemon that GF is shill incredibly hard

 

[skywaffles]

Pikachu 1000%

 

[MegaPod]

It seems to me that people like Perrserker for some reason. Like, I get there’s some interesting concepts behind the creation of it, but the way they executed the design is just...blech. Feels kinda poorly done in my opinion.

 

[Aulos]

Incineroar needs to go back to whatever 80s cheesy anthropomorphic action cartoon it came from and stay there.

 

[Jenneta]

Charizard and Pikachu, hands down. I'm happy if others like them, don't get me wrong, but I personally sigh everytime I see them since they're, more than not, the focus of promotions/special cards/etc. Especially Pikachu, which is a given since Pikachu is Pokemon's mascot of course, but still.

 

[AuraCaller]

Eevee mostly. Everyone likes it and the other 'Eeveelutions' but I hate them. They aren't cute to me and I'm sick of all their merchandise!

 

[RustyTrubbish]

Mewtwo and Greninja mostly but I also never thought that Tyranitar or Hydreigon were that great. I mean sure they're strong but to me that doesn't matter that much.

 

[Jyo]

the main one that comes to mind:

Vivavolt and Scizor, I know so many like them, due to my strong dislike of bugs, I'll never like them, I'm sure there are another two or three popular bugs I missed

also majoirty of the Dragons, I know so many love them, I get so annoyed of them, too over popular and over design

 

[fluffy-wooloo]

Samurott. I think it looks silly like a blue Dewgong with a shell helmet. Also Snom I mean yes it's cute but so are a hundred other Pokemon sheesh.
