>>50928104Hitmonana is probably the most "hated to goat" pokemon for me.
I hated the design, thought it was shit, and just hated that it took up dexspace.
Having played through the game a few times, done a few Nuzlockes, I'm still not keen on the design, but it's a surprisingly dependable workhorse pokemon. It's one of the best answers to Carlito, performs well pretty much every time you'd want it to, it's just a solid, serviceable pokemon.
To a lesser extent, Oburanyxo. I had no strong opinion on it whatsoever, besides being the least interesting of the Ebin starters.
Especially once I started nuocking it, Oburanyxo is one of the strongest pokemon in the entire game, I consider it THE single best pokemon for the Elite 4, and, tragically, it's such an auto include that I can't even remember the last time I picked one of the other two. Batterex isn't even bad, but holy shit.
The reverse happened with Warudio. I love the design, its cry always makes me smile, I want it to be good so bad... but it just isn't. It can sweep some NPC trainers, I'm sure there are a few clutch matchups, but it's so unreliable. Doesn't QUITE hit hard enough to reliably oneshot, is too frail to take hits, doesn't quite outspeed really fast pokemon, the thing is always just a little short of what I want it to do.
Also Dreameme. I got Rolango from the Mystery Egg on my first playthrough, it was good, it evolved, was good for a minute, then dropped off hardcore. Thing's a piece of shit. Unfortunately. A lot of the Kekkoh Pokemon are unfortunately like that.
