10 Best Pokemon You’ve Probably Never Bothered Catching

WC - “Gotta catch ‘em all”; even in Generation Five, and with over 600 of the little buggers in existence, those words will forever serve as the ultimate goal for players of the Pokemon games. In reality, though, most players of the popular series of handheld games will never even consider this a viable target and will settle instead for simply building up a team of six that they believe are capable of conquering any region in the Pokemon world.

I dont think they are the "best" but I'll say Tauros and Kangaskhan from Pokemon Red and Blue because they were in the Safari Zone, and such a pain to catch. Oh, and rare.

10) Lanturn
9) Tentacruel
8)Bisharp
7) Milotic
6)Kingdra
5)Jirachi
4)Heracross
3)Flygon
2)Medicham
1)Froslass

There... this is one of those 10 split on 10 pages

Also, some of those pokemon are hard to get... Milotic was something I wanted to have, but getting a feebas and then boosting its beauty is hard as hell

You saved me from all that clicking. Thank you!

NastyLeftHook04240d ago

froslass was a good pokemon.

Gaming1014240d ago (Edited 4240d ago )

Which Pokemon did I not bother catching? All of them, because Pokemon sucks! Grow up you babies!

hkgamer4240d ago

I always caught them by using some sort of glitch. Had to go to safari zone, then fly out to the tiny little island and run/swim up and down. Then you would see every pokemon from safari zone. You can actually do that for any area to be really honest.

TrendyGamers4241d ago

Heracross is always a good choice.

Relientk774241d ago

Yeah, he's actually like the only one on this list I actually had. However, I pretty much only played Blue, Yellow, and Gold/Silver

ChunkyLover534241d ago

Bu..bu.bu...but you gotta catch'em all!

Relientk774241d ago

I believed that for Pokemon Blue and Red. Then they started added Pokemon, like 100s lol. My Pokemon Blue file has all original 151, but I dare not try with Gold/Silver or any of the later entries

WildArmed4241d ago

Like-wise, before I believed "This is it, 151, must get 'em all, or crap out my game boy trying"

Then a few years later, you have 600 pokemon.. it just doesn't matter anymore. They are going to add another 300 whenever they feel like it.

Your collection will never be complete. I think it really hurt once they decided to keep increasing the Pokemon. I loved Red/blue/yellow, heck even Gold/Silver was awesome, 100 new pokemon? I can deal w/ that. Then they just kept doing it again and again.

Never touched a Pokemon game since :(

SuperLupe4241d ago

Same here, Pokemon lost its magic to me when they started adding Pokemons left and right.

TXIDarkAvenger4241d ago

LOL

So most of you are saying you gave up on Pokemon games after gold/silver because they just kept adding more Pokemon? Sounds like I'm one of the few who still like the Pokemon games since the original.

jghvhv4241d ago

None of those Pokemon are even in the top percentage.I'll stick to my Rattata,thank you very much.

Swiggins4241d ago

You give me hope Youngster Joey, you give us all hope!

Pokemon Doesn't Need to Sue Palworld, It Needs to Get With the Times

The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."

Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.

NotoriousWhiz78d ago

Unfortunately for us, as their legal team seems to be more competent than Game Freak's development team.

gold_drake79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.

but absolutely agree on the change

GoodGuy0979d ago

That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.

But money, they'll make billions with little effort.

badz14978d ago

you know that's never gonna happen

FinalFantasyFanatic78d ago

Gamer Freak, Creatures and Nintendo all have a stake in the Pokemon franchise, Nintendo especially will never let them go, I don't know how Creatures or Game Freak feels about it. Plus, the other two don't have a financial incentive to ditch Nintendo, they make mega bucks regardless. Although I think Nintendo should help Game Freak out more since they're clearly struggling, other they'll all just have to accept longer dev times and bigger gaps between games, or maybe just make some cheaper low-tier games in-between.

shinoff218379d ago

Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.

--Onilink--78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Even Scarlet/Violet had sold 24million as of early November (and undoubtedly sold even more during the Holidays), its not like they are currently suffering.

Yes, there are plenty of things I would like Gamefreak to do better, and yes I happened to like Palworld, but not because its a Pokemon clone, because its not, but because its a good survival game, something that I have zero interest for the mainline Pokemon games to become.

Most publications keep bringing up these topic ls just for clicks, because clearly the game is your typical survival game (most who do well on PC) with some Pokemon sprinkled in and not a Pokemon competitor, the core gameplay loop is clearly just Ark with dinosaurs swapped for Pokemon like creatures

And again, while I’m enjoying the game itself, I hope it doesnt set a new precedent for what we expect from game devs these days because, based on their other games, this developer really seems to basically just try to go as close as possible to ripping off other games without getting into trouble and then not really following up on those projects as promised (Craftopia players seem particularly angry).

I doubt they ever expected the discourse around this game to reach this level of popularity to push those insane sales numbers, and they actually take the opportunity to increase the quality of their work

FinalFantasyFanatic78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

I'm going to say something somewhat controversial, the last set of Pokemon games weren't that bad, it wasn't a great game, but a good game if we ignore the performance issues (and I personally didn't have many bugs).

They just need more interesting towns and NPCs (give them interesting dialogue, there's literally no reasons to talk to NPCs), interesting areas/locations (like the sunken ship and Bellsprout Tower), and some decent side quest, there isn't really any interesting side quests in those games, and fix the barely there lore for the game (Idk even know what was going on with those 4 "legendary Pokemon"). And maybe add less new Pokemon into the next game so they can transition more of the older Pokemon into 3D.

I think Scarlet/Violet had the potential to go from a good game to a great game if they implemented most of those ideas, but they also needed more development time to optimise the game as well.

Profchaos78d ago

Yeah agree id take a remake of red in the style of the links awakening remake any day of the week

Profchaos78d ago

No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.

Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
