You can remove one Pokémon (or evolutionary line) from the Pokédex. Which do you choose? (ani.social)

The entirety of gen 5. Not really but there's a bunch that are just worse versions of Gen 1 mons due to GF weird decision to have all new pokemon in Unova. Gigalith is a worse pile of rocks than Golem, Conkeldurr is a worse construction worker than Machamp, Sawk a Troh are worse martial artists than Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, Wubat is... egregious. Garbodor is also a ripoff of Muk but I think its design is more original so it gets a pass. If I only get to pick one then it would be Seel. Come on it's a seal that evolves into a slightly bigger seal.

Wat.

  • Sawk - karate
  • Throh - judo
  • Hitmonlee - kickboxing
  • Hitmonchan - boxing

They're all awesome. We just need HitmonMMA or something.

I don't mean they represent worse martial arts, just that they're the same basic concept but with worse designs. And Hitmonchan was already a bad design.

Fair enough. I happen to like the designs, but obviously that's a matter of preference. Plus, it's cool if the martial art you're doing has its very own pokemon!
