Top 10 Reasons Why Pokemon Is Overrated

The Top Ten
1 Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. Shin-ichiro Miki, the actor who voices James in the original Japanese version of the Pokémon anime, voices Charizard in both the Japanese and English-language versions of the anime. An orange, draconic Pokémon, Charizard is the evolved form of Charmeleon and the final evolution of Charmander. It has two other forms, Mega Charizards X and Y, which are its ...read more.

Um... Excuse Me Sir But You Do Know That One Overrated Pokemon Character Isn't Gonna Be Enough To Make The Entire Show Overrated. Just Saying.

Most overrated Pokemon ever!

2 The Anime

I never liked Pokemon as a kid. I only would play the card games if I was at a social event. I was very good at hiding it however. In 2000, if you just played the game with me you would have thought I liked it. If you were a kind of friend you would have thought I didn't like it. But, if you were a close friend of mine, you would have known that I didn't like Pokemon. There are several things I can say about why I hate it. But the Anime gets on my nerves. I don't really like Anime because I think they get more appreciation than any other form of media nowadays. But I hate this anime because of it's repetitiveness. I think that the Looney Tunes cartoons (even the Wile E. Coyote Roadrunner series) can be varied up more than Pokemon. The SAME THING HAPPENS EVERY TIME:
1. The Pokemon gang runs into a new Pokemon
2. They meet someone who has been trying to discover secrets about it
3. Ash battles the researcher
4. Team Rocket tries to take Pikachu and fails
5. They say ...more

You know what would make the anime SO MUCH BETTER? If every Pokemon had their own episode and them going around and showing the viewers how they adapt to their environment, almost like National Geography does, instead of a 8 year old kid who can't age

It's the same thing over and over again and its always the same. The first anime was great honest but until now nothing changed, Ash is still 10, Pikachu still doesn't want to evolve and Team Rocket always fail trying to capture Pikachu

Its always like team rocket doing a disguise then they capture one or more of team Ash pokemons then just a boring battle just predictable as the team rockets will end up flying in the skies. Just so boring and repetitive

3 Pikachu and the Nintendo DS

The stereotypical Pokemon. This is the only Pokemon most people know and he looks like the stereotype he is. (Now going on to ds) the Nintendo ds was home to all the overrated Pokemon games (diamond, pearl, heart gold, soul silver, black, white, black 2, white 2. ) and they are all the same game with slight changes to gyms and stuff.

Can somebody just give up the pikachus, they are way overrated and the only reason is the anime (by the way the anime is terrible) because of ash and it's not his fault he wanted a squirtle, it's prof. Oaks fault, because he had to give it to [REDACTED] GARY!

4 HOENN CONFIRMED!!!

Will you guys shut up?! Creatures inc. finally unvieled omega ruby and alpha sapphire because they want you to shut up! HOENN confirmed is such an overrated meme.

That was over ten years ago. Sun and Moon confirmed.

The Hoenn trumpet memes are better. Or they Emerald Remake memes.

5 Missingno

People seriously like a pile of garbage data.

6 Gametheory

On the topic of conspiracy... Pokemon conspiracies on this channel are more common than ever.

They're ruining our fun with the plot twist theories

Game Theory got sick of Pokemon in every episode.

Wel, Game Theory ruined Mario, and made Luigi overrated, and are in love FNAF, so...

7 Conspiracy

Hey, that was a typo (not intentional).

Learn to spell theories, idiot.

8 Thomas Sander's #pokemonpranks

He's a guy on vine. These pranks are going viral now.

I think they're funny so shut your face.

9 Same Thing Every Year

I agree. Also, TOO MANY EVENT-ONLY POKEMON!

That's why I replaced the video games, with the "Yo-Kai Watch" franchise!

The only thing I DO play, among "Pokemon" games, is the TRADING CARD GAME; enough' said.

Yeah, no kidding. In other words, it's ' repetitive and worse than boring. Therefore, it should be canceled for good.

At least Call of Duty has different modes in some of them.

As if Call of Duty's any better. Oh wait I mean Call of Noobs. -shadowswagger922

10 Pokemobs

A Pokemon mod in an overrated game (Minecraft) makes the original overrated.

I don't even know how they're underrated!

The Contenders
11 Ash is such a loser

HE SHOUDL NEVER BE PRAISED FOR THAT! >:( - The Ultimate Daredevil, waithing to get beat up by Genwunners and in case they do, I physically murder them with one strike!

12 It's just so repetitive
13 It overshadows Digimon

Digimon is better but, less popular.

14 The Fanbase

Too many wars going on

15 Team Rocket constantly showing up and wasting Ash's time and the episode time

It is awfully stupid that they appear LIKE EVERY epISODe! + They always lose... why waste Ashes' time? why not have a different villain for a change? Team Rocket isn't even a TEAM! They are just like 3 people... Such a GOOD team too. WASTE OF TIME!

16 It's boring

This show is more boring than watching pancakes spin around in the microwave or even ratatoing

17 All the Memes

They are not coming to mind right now, but there is a ton of them right now.

18 The plot revolves around enslaving animals and making them fight other animals against their will

The truth is, Pokemon LIKE to fight. If you played the games (which some of you who believe Pokemon is animal abuse didn't and don't know what it is AT ALL) you NEED to increase your Pokemon's happiness by making them battle. It's how it works in the Pokemon universe. If this rumor was true, your Pokemon would leave you if you battle with them too much. Besides, you show them LOVE, which means they'd do ANYTHING for you. This rumor is nonsensical. Play the actual games before you say something absurd like this.

Why would Ash Ketchup do that? Aren't they suppose to be our friends?

19 It won't go away

True, and it won't for a very long time. It is a successful franchise, and more Pokemon will continue into be made for years to come. Also that is not a good reason why it is overrated, maybe annoying would be the better word? Anyway, I love Pokemon, so...

20 You can't find at least 1 person in a single day not wearing a Pokemon shirt
21 It's old
22 Too many Pokemon

How is that bad? It just makes the game more interesting.

23 Not enough evolutions

They really need to add more forms and evolutions to each pokemon so they can be more powerful than they are. Comparing to other some anime characters such as Tatsumi or WarGreymon, a lot of pokemon such as Charizard and Blastoise are childsplay. They should also add alternate forms to each pokemon to make them more diverse in different environmental conditions.
