>Most forgettable 1st Gen pokemon thread

If you say Grimer or Tangela, you're wrong.
>>
I can't remember what the most forgettable one is
>>
Magnemite's one of the most creative, unique, and memorable Gen 1 Pokemon there are. Grimer is fine. Tangela really is kind of forgettable, on account of I constantly see people literally forget it exists.
>>
I actually kind of like both Magnemite and Tangela and I'm not quite sure why.

Eh, Likitung is based in LC, I'd say Horsea or Seadra. Kingdra is unpopular due to it being difficult to get, and they don't get much distribution otherwise.

Kingdra is a pretty cool guy though. Competitive players at least remembered him long enough to abuse the new crit mechanics in Gen 6, and the horsea line was anime important, so normies won't forget.

Since I always feel it's unfair to include unevolved pokemon in "most forgettable" threads, I'd say you're super close with dewgong.

Either that or Dodrio

>>27139152

Definitely Dewgong. Not a single person on this planet gives a fuck about Dewgong. Anyone that says otherwise is lying.

Spearow is the objectively correct answer.

Nobody gave a give about it, even when Gen 1 was new, it's always been inferior, even to fucking Pidgey.

Whereas people instantly recognize even the lowly Pidgey. Spearow is in a class of its own when it comes to forgettable. And you all know it.
>>
>>27139629
>even when Gen 1 was new, it's always been inferior, even to fucking Pidgey.

Are you sure? I never used either, but I thought (in gen 1) fearow was considered better than pidgeot in every way other than being frailer.

(unless you were talking unevolved forms specifically, and not their long term viability)
>>
Seel for sure
>>
>>27139629
Spearow kicks Pidgey's ass, is on-par with Pidgeotto, and Fearow was, and still is better than vanilla Pidgeot. Both were outclassed by Dodrio, but time has not been kind to Dodrio.

Horsea line isn't forgettable due to Misty using Horsea pretty frequently in the anime, and Kingdra being Claire's signature mon.

Electabuzz, Goldeen, Rapidash, Tangela, Farfetch'd, or Exeggcute.

It's hard for me to pick any truly unmemorable gen 1 mons, because that's when the pokemania was at its peak. There were so many different media and merchandise being stuffed down our throats, every pokemon has at least some kind of tale to it.

Well, for starters, Bellsprout was a surprise pick because Beedrill and Scyther were before it, clearly more intimidating Pokemon.

Then, it managed to single-handedly take out Ash's Bulbasaur, which was on a roll, and even Ash's pride and joy Pikachu. A fucking Bellsprout.

Then, it was Ash's Muk's first battle. The fact that it hadn't been seen in battle yet, was a surprise pick, AND it went on to beat the Bellsprout had me on the edge of my seat as a kid.

I'd say to any Pokemon fan it was a goddamn memorable episode.

Kanto had some great episodes. I loved Ash's Mankey/Primeape and all the episodes it was in. Surge vs. Ash was also pretty great. Mewtwo's appearance was mysterious and thrilling.

The fact that a lot of episodes were memorable doesn't mean that it makes others less memorable. Charizard vs. Magmar still gives me chills. Ash catching Caterpie and Pidgeotto in the same episode is still one of my favorites. Hypno making people into Pokemon is a great filler episode.

Indigo League is special because it was a part of Kanto where battles were in every episode. This is what everyone wanted: to see Ash battle his way through a tournament. It's a hype that has lived on through generations of the anime. So when Muk (a Pokemon that Ash hadn't used yet) fought a Bellsprout (a Pokemon that was about to knock Ash out of said tournament), you're damn right I'll remember it.

There's several reasons why its memorable, that I explained to you in several posts, but you choose to ignore them, so I'll just assume you just have terrible taste.

It's not that I ignored them it's that they're common throughout the entirety of the Kanto arc.

The usual pattern? I don't think it's registered in your mind yet, but Ash almost lost a TOURNAMENT to a FLOWER. And he only managed to win thanks to a surprise pick and one he had never used before.

Now tell me what formula does this episode follow in the Kanto series? This episode is anything but bland.

You do realise that shit like that was common during the Kanto series right?

You can literally just youtube any moment that Ash was humiliated by a single pokemon.

It is Tangela.

It was located in one small patch of grass on one route that you could entirely skip over.

It was part of one of the easiest Gyms in the game because the majority of players destroyed Erika with Charmeleon or Pidgeotto.

Its one major appearance in Season one of the anime was less than a minute.

These are all wonderful designs that I cherish. A lot of Gen 1 designs are just fine. Lickitung and Tangela are among my very faves for Gen 1. Let them live.

>Muk coming out
>incredibly bland
It certainly wasn't. We had been teased about this Muk for episodes. We wanted to know if it would ever get any battle time. And then, it shows up to win a crucial battle for Ash. AT the time that episode aired, I was in awe. I loved every second of it. Just decomposing it into "same gimmick every episode" just means that you saw it with a bias going in.
>>27147897
The Kanto anime was more exciting because you never knew who was gonna win and how. Some call this bullshit and prefer the more streamlined way that the anime works now, but I thought it was great that type difference could be overcome by skill. Just look at Ash vs. Misty in the Cerulean Gym fight. Why is Pigeotto winning against Starmie? Why is Butterfree losing to a Staryu. It made for good fun.

All this thread proves is that there are no forgettable Gen I Pokemon.

Magnemite at least has a unique design and its evo was one of the few shinies to show up in the anime.

If we're going off anime then it's probably porygon since that was literally banned in the anime after one episode and was a pain in the ass to get in the games.

Going off the games alone, then it's probably tanglea since it's in the middle of nowhere. Though I don't really know many people who stopped playing that even remember goldeen/seaking all that well now that they're playing go.

>>27139605
It was my first evolved poke I ran into on Pokemon Go.

Its actually Paras. In fact, TPCi said it was so forgettable they made it as common as Pidgeys and Weedles so people could remember it.

>Rewatch the episode
Buddy, you think I haven't? It's one of my favorites. And I think you're forgetting something. It's an episode that was special while you were following the anime, not as an isolated episode. It stands out because we all wanted to see Muk in action. It stands out because no one knew when Muk was going to battle (or Krabby in another episode). It stands out because after all that travelling to get badges and getting to the league, Ash was going to lose to a Bellsprout. Just taking the episode out of context is useless, and it's exactly what you're doing from the looks of things.

It may not be memorable to you, but people actually watching the series when it aired can still remember the time when a Bellsprout gave Ash a run for his money.
>>
>>27148319
>but people actually watching the series when it aired
Stop assuming that people who don't think it's memorable didn't watch it when it aired. In any case there's still fuck all that's special about it, even muk did fuck all and that was supposed to be memorable?

It was the most disappointing thing I've ever seen looking back on it because Muk's special episode literally had him do next to nothing.
>>
>>27148380
>Muk's special episode literally had him do next to nothing.
Except, you know, finish off a Pokemon that was giving Ash trouble in one Body Slam. How about winning a league match on its first appearance? What about how we didn't even know Muk was going to be in this episode, let alone in battle?

And why shouldn't I assume that? It had me and my friends talking around the playground for weeks. A bellsprout was pushing Ash's shit in. That was mind blowing, even more than the sandshrew episode because that one was early in the series. To hear you say that it was bland and disappointing makes me believe that you saw it with a cynical bias.
>>
>>27148380
Not the guy you're arguing with but just because you don't think it's memorable doesn't mean it's not to other people. That also goes for the guy who is trying to tell you it is memorable. It is for some and isn't for others. It is for me for one reason though; Bellsprout slicing through boulders with Razor Leaf and everyone in the crowd + Ash having a bewildered "What the fuck?" reaction to it.

>>27139629
If you didn't pick Spearow/Fearow as your flying type in HGSS then you were doing it wrong, it's so much better than the Pidgey line. Beyond that it's a literally who Pokemon though.
>>
>>27148507
>finish off a Pokemon that was giving Ash trouble in one Body Slam.
Yeah, because that wasn't the worst part due to the fact it literally just rolled over it.

>And why shouldn't I assume that?
Because
1) most people aren't riddled with nostalgia like you are
2) most people actually have some kind of taste and expect something that matches up to the shit we've seen before.

I see. So you ARE underage. Kanto series was around 15 years ago, why shouldn't I talk about the impact of an episode at the time it was aired? And even then, what's wrong with nostalgia? I remember the whole series fondly, so why did that episode stick? That's why it's memorable, youngun.
>matches up to the shit we've seen before.
Weren't you saying something about "this is the same as any other episode"? Then why are you complaining that it's not?
>taste
You can't even remember Muk's first battle or Ash getting bodied by a Bellsprout. What do you know about taste?

>>27148536
I agree with you, but when a guy comes up and says an episode is bland and uninteresting just because, it really rustles my jimmies.

Good point. So I went through the pokedex and found pic-related, that I couldn't even remember her when I came to this thread.

Aside from that, a few of the evolved firms were kind of forgettable. I remembered voltorb but forgot about electrode. And completely forgot that Jigglypuff evolves

Honestly pham anyone who can't remember gen 1 or even gen 2 pokemon has to be underage

anyone who played those games when they came out, watched the anime, and then continued to play the other games in the series should be able to remember all the Pokemon from those gens just from all the reinforcement you get from their placement in all Pokemon media

Red-blue were released at the end of 98 in NA,. GS at the end of 99

Young adulthood around 2000 is certainly old enough to remember the original games considering I got red in 98 when I was 6 and can remember my first team in it

It's definitely Tangela, though.

In game it was a rare shitmon that no one would use.

In the anime it had virtually no presence.

From the old I always loved the Haunted tower as it had my favorite ghosts, and I loved the visuals we experienced with Ghost ash. I still have book from this episode.

From new series - I don't know why I really enjoyed the Bug gym battle in XY. It was so nicely paced, and I was happy to see Vivilion moving.

BW even if is cosidered shit had many great episodes that focus on Pokemon itself. Darmanitan one, The one with Dweeble searching new stone... And I loved the pokemon characters.

How is not being nostalgia blinded a sign of being underaged when someone can easily go back and watch to see how shit it was?

Jesus Christ, maybe you're the underaged one here because you have the thinking skills of a five year old. And for the record the Indigo League and the first season of the anime was absolute shit, the only worthwhile thing was that english opening theme.
