Unpopular Opinions About Pokemon

The Top Ten
1 Charizard is not overrated

Overrated is a subjective term to be honest. It's ok to use it if it's a matter of opinion, but not when we're talking objectively.

2 Bug types are awesome

Scizor and Heracross are two Pokémon that immediately come to mind when I think of good Bug types!

3 Dragon types are overrated
4 Red is nothing special in the games; just another protagonist

Aside from the fact that he has an official status in the games, he's just as comparable as the other game protagonists. I'm not gonna bring up the entire Red vs Gold thing, because there was no official winner.

5 Iris is the best Pokegirl
6 The second generation is the best

Judging by the amount of praise Gen II gets, this is not unpopular.

7 Meganium is the best starter
8 Vanilluxe is the best ice-type Pokemon
9 Regigigas with Slow Start makes sense

They should at least buff it to be honest. Perhaps give a 2x boost for both defenses and an immunity to all status effects during the five turns being affected.

10 Mega Evolution and/or Z-moves should be removed
The Contenders
11 Alain winning the Kalos League makes sense

His Charizard ko ten megas in a row without rest; including an Elite Four member.

Although the Kalos league could have been better executed in general.

12 Decidueye is the worst Gen 7 starter

I agree with this. This isn't unpopular in Japan though (according to T.V. Tropes)

13 The spin-off games are way better than the main games
14 Pokemon Let's Go is pointless
15 Gardevoir's design is nothing special
16 Whitney is easy to beat
17 The Tepig line is terrible
18 Diggersby is not ugly
19 Gen 2 is terrible, but their remakes are great
20 Serena and Bonnie are not the worst female companions at all
21 It sucks
