With X/Y fast approaching let's revisit Black and White. What Pokemon disappointed you?

Reuniclus for me. Slow as shit and the learning movepool was beyond bare. in b4 trick room. He just wasn't the Pokemon I thought he'd be.

Quite the contrary. Reuniclus is better than I expected.

>High special Attack
>Magic Guard, meaning it doesn't take damage from Life Orb, Poison or Burn, and Hail/Sand
>Trick Room

As for moves, with Psychic/Psychock, Shadow Ball, and Focus Blast, it has all it needs.

Did you know that at a certain point some people wanted to suspect test reuniclus and send him to ubers?

My problem is that. He's the same as every other psychic Pokemon with Focus Blast and Shadow Ball. I'm just so fucking sick of every Pokemon having Flamethrower, Earthquake, Focus Blast etc etc.

What were you expecting? Surf, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt?

The thing I'll never understand about this board is why can't people ever take others opinions. Even /pol/ tries that, /vp/ can't.

The only Pokemon I was really disappointed in per se are the starters, and mostly just because their movepools are kinda weak.

As much as I like its design, Golurk disappointed in battle. For being a huge golem, its defenses are pretty shitty. Not being able to take a hit when you're that slow is a problem.

The starters.

Small movepools. I know it's an attempt to balance their higher stats, but it's incredibly disappointing for ingame use. For this precise reason I've ended up playing almost nothing but hacks now.

Starting at turn 14.

And he can learn Signal Beam too btw. Could be a substitute to focus blast I guess.

The Starters - Benched my Serperior for a Lilligant in my White playthrough, and Samurott I benched for Starmie in White 2, though I did keep Samurott longer than I kept Serperior

Swoobat - It's just eh. frail as fuck with very little attack power to compensate.

Simple + Calm Mind + Stored Power Swoobat is a beast in BBVW, but it's pretty shitty otherwise.

Swoobat is still one of my Gen 5 favorites design-wise, but was always the frailest member of my team. I still like it, just wish it was a bit stronger

Hydreigon is very arguably the best Dragon in the VGC and general doubles metagame.
And being that VGC is doubles, it's really the only thing that matters.

Hydreigon's main problem was it's awkward speed tier. Even scarfed it was too slow compared to the most common scarfers, so it was easily countered. Plus it has no good stat boost moves and a fighting weakness.

I can't help but feel that Hydreigon's base Speed should have been swapped with its Attack but then that would have Ghetsis killing folks for days.
