What are your unpopular opinions in pokemon?

Kyogre > Groudon

Lugia > Ho-oh

Venusaur > Blastoise > Charizard

Wooloo > Mareep

Litwick > all

  1. You like all the Pokemon you grew up with but you hate some of the new ones because:

“That’s just not a Pokemon anymore, that’s just an object Xwith eyes!”

“Pokemon got soooo lazy! That’s not even an original design, that’s just an animal X!”

Base Set II is a decent set.

Plushies are not cool to own.

Disclosing the weight of a booster pack should be disclosed unless it’s coming straight from a box.

I know everybody is entitled to their own opinions. But right now, I want to argue with about 99% of the people in this thread. I just can’t believe some of you peeps. :wink:

Compliments for coming up with this topic, @sacari !

Doing the pack trick is stupid and unnecessary even when opening in a video.

Jungle Butterfree is more desirable than Base Charizard.

I think I have this opinion because at my school some kids had Jungle cards before Jungle officially released in the UK and thus they were incredibly rare at the time. I managed to get my hands on a Jungle Butterfree during this time and I think I was the only kid in my school who had one. Suddenly nobody cared that I had a Base Charizard in my pile of cards but everyone wanted to see the Jungle Butterfree. From that moment on I no longer cared that much for my Base Charizard at all.

If they were equally priced, I’d take a Jungle Butterfree over a Base Charizard today.

From an investment purpose I can’t see Jungle Butterfree ever being as valuable as Base Charizard is today, so if someone were to give me a choice between giving me a free Jungle Butterfree or a Base Charizard there’s no way I’d chose the Butterfree - it’d be a terrible decision. If I chose the Charizard I’d have every intention of selling it on for a profit, however if I were to be out of my mind completely and choose the Butterfree in that situation I’d be intending to keep it as a collection piece instead.

The only reason that stops WOTC from the overrated crown is that Kadabra existed.
PSA labels look actrocious compared to Black Label.
Artwork styles from those that are clones of others are just filler.
Tomokazu Komiya, Kimiya Masago, Kagemaru Himeno and Yuka Morii need absolute more recognition then they get.
The Illustration contests was what this hobby deserves.
Pokémon needs to adult the fuck up it’s themes more smartly and create more collaborations as well as be more visually graphic.
? ? ? type needs to be more apparent and relevent.
Every Scrapped, Beta, unused concept design needs to officially exist if it hasn’t been rendered. They all have business potential. Especially the tigermouse.
Gorochu was going to be a better mascot then Pikachu.
Missingno. was a better theme idea for the first movie.
The concept of banning and nerfing Pokémon for competitive play is a sign of regress and decadence.
Fake Charizard cards are as bad as Charizards with poor art made for collectors sake.
WOTC lost Pokémon because they didn’t appeal for a Crystal Suicune.
I don’t talk too much.

Steam siege doesnt deserve the hate/memes it does for being a bland set. I believe that people dont even know that it contains 7 shiny pokemon in the artworks (shiftry,volcarona,galvantula,bisharp,steelix,azumarill,gardevoir). The BW emerging powers set however I can not disagree in saying it is indeed a lacklustre set.
