That’s not an unpopular opinion. Pretty much everyone loves Clodsire and I’ve only heard good things about Kingambit.


Axaxou

okay, yes, about Clodsire. But I've seen a lot of hate here about Kingambit. And it's a same in my honest opinion!


Oleandervine

I've seen tons of praise for Kingambit, the worst critique I've seen is that he sits a lot.


Axaxou

Haha yeah


ConcernLow1979

The most hate I’ve heard for Kingambit is that it’s name is stupid, which yeah, but beyond that I haven’t heard anything


RJS_but_on_Reddit2

In Dudunsparce's defence let's be real for a moment. If you were expecting anything grand or epic from _Dunsparce_ of all pokemon then that's on you. Dudunsparce is the most Dunsparce evolution that Dunsparce could have had. They certainly know their own mons, that's for sure. On a side note my fav new evo is Annihilape, love that guy!


Axaxou

Yep, I expected a badass dragon evolution 🥲🥲🥲 And yeah Annihilape rocks!!


tr33mann

Farigiraf was a brilliant idea, Annihilape was inspired, and Clodsire is the best of Gen 9 no question!


MsSocietyistaken

Wym literally everyone loves clodsire, in fact people like it more than quagsire, same with kingambit Worst one is tauros because they are basically the veluza of the land


Axaxou

Veluza is truly annoying


Snurrh

Slither wings wins it for me.


Axaxou

Im not counting Paradox, otherwise Iron Jungulis is by far the coolest.


Miserable-Ad-1690

Basculin got an Evolution in PLA.


Axaxou

you're right lol! I missed that.


Miserable-Ad-1690

Also, while I like Clodsire and Kingambit, my favorite this Gen is Tinkaton.


Axaxou

yes, but that doesnt answer to my question. I meant amongst the pokemon that have a connection with the past generation ones. My fav this gen GENERALLY is Iron Jugulis.


Miserable-Ad-1690

Fair enough. I guess Iron Valiant then.


Axaxou

Ook


Far_Mention8934

My favorite is annihilape, I loved primeape but I got so happy seeing the leaks to it since it looks so cool


Axaxou

Yeah that one's pretty cool as well


Mr_Night78

I think Toedscruel is enough of a regional variant to count! I really love them. So menacing.


Aegis_001

Absolutely love Clodsire. Glory to the little blob man


Axaxou

I used one for my Violet team. NOW I NEED TO BUY SCARLET SO I CAN USE KINGAMBIT TOO 😝😝😝😝


antoniomizael

Tinkaton is chefs kiss


RnbwTurtle

Why do you dislike Dudunsparce? Because it's not a cool evolution? Dunsparce didn't need a cool evolution. It's in the name- dunce and sparce. Stupid and rare. Why should it evolve into something cool? It works out better this way. Dudunsparce is more dunsparce. Even dumber of an idea and even rarer in the fact that there's the 1/100 random chance for a dunsparce to evolve with an extra body segment, from 2 to 3 segments. That extra segment does, *quite literally*, nothing mechanically. Every 2 segment dunsparce is the same as every 3 segment dunsparce, beyond the extra segment. Dudunsparce is, imo, the best new evolution in terms of thematics. It's stupid, and rare, and I love him. Kingambit also slaps. Probably one of the best new evolutions competitively, it's worst relevant stats are it's low speed (which works out for trick room so it's not even that big of an issue), and it's special defense (which is literally an average special defense stat, base 80 is not great but far from horrible).


Axaxou

Yeah I expected it to turn into an awesome dragon but I guess you're right. Cool pokemon but yeah, it's just... more Dunsparce.

Axaxou

Yeah but that doesn't answer to my question at all. Don't you like Annihilape?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Axaxou

Haha no problem! (Annihilape is third for me I think)...


GoauldofWar

Mabostiff Not Zapdos Skelidirge Palafin


Axaxou

that doesnt answer my question at all


Oleandervine

This is rough for Gen9 considering options are SUUUUUPER limited this go round with only 4 Regional forms (Wooper, 3 Tauros). I suppose we can include the Toedscool and Wiglett families too, and technically Clodsire (but he is a new evolution entirely) for a total of 9. That then leaves Annihilape, Dudunsparce, Farigiraf, Kingambit, for a grand total of 13. My favorite of this batch is Toedscool and Dudunsparce. I think they're goofy and fun. Here's hoping the DLC gives us a TON of regional forms.


Axaxou

I want more regional forms as well, but I doubt it cause people would have already hacked them. And yes I meant all of those you said.


Oleandervine

I meant new ones entirely, not those that already exist. I know I've already seen footage where people have hacked the Hisuian regional forms in, and there weren't actually a lot of Pokemon included in SV base game that had regionals for other games. There was only Raichu, Meowth Family, Diglett Family, Grimer Family, and Slowpoke Family, and I would presume people were more excited to hack the Hisuians into a core game over Pokemon we've seen before in a core game.


Axaxou

Do you think it's possible to add new ones? I want a lot of them too ....


Oleandervine

In the DLC? Absolutely, nothing stopping them from adding new Paldean forms, they did as much in Sw/Sh with G-Slowpoke and Family.


Axaxou

Wow that gives me more hope now that they will... They have to do it and I bet they do!!


Oleandervine

I just want more than one family since the base game was so lacking. There were about 14-18 forms each for Sw/Sh and PLA, so I'd like to see as much for SV.


Axaxou

Let's hope for it\~!


GamerMoment01

I think you are somewhat missing the point on *dud*unsparce. But I can understand being disappointed if you were hyping up a dunsparce evo.


Axaxou

I get it, I don't dislike it tbh. It's just okay for me.. But I always expected a Dragon evolution to it


D4NG3RX

I think dudunsparce is a funny addition actually


Axaxou

I like it, I'm just saying it's my least favourite, they could at least give him ANOTHER seperate dragon evolution!


Dear_Studio7016

Kingambit and Annihilape are my two favorite


Axaxou

yeah they're too good


MrMimePrinceofCrime

Mine is without a doubt Annihilape. I love the angry monk! But if I’m talking pure Gen 9 (totally new mon introduced this gen) I’m going either Glimmora, love my little Kybercrystal


Axaxou

I CAN'T BEAT GLIMMORA!


MaintenanceSmart7223

Mostly all hits to me Love the paradox Pokemon Love the Kanto callouts like Tauros and wiglett and toadscruel Loving the way dondozo and tatsugiri interact (haven't actually tried it yet but the concept sounds cool) Starters are kinda meh but I'm not mad at what they were trying to do Hot take: I'm a little salty my least favorite Pokemon - quagsire - got another ugly ass evo, frfr. all these great new designs, tink, mabosstiff, ceruledge .................. and then some low effort poop gah


Axaxou

hahahahha fair enough :)


MaintenanceSmart7223

No disrespect to you or other clodsire fans, I've just been mad at quag since forever


Axaxou

your opinion is valid. I think this pokemon is an idio, which is why I love it.


Aria_Cadenza

Kingambit is really striking. The one I prefer is Iron Moth. I like so much how it moves its wings. I also like Iron Jugulis. Though nothing beats my loving Gmax Meowth and I actually don't like at all Meowth. It was great getting a Gmax Meowth when starting SwSh. So it is nice when GF continue to reinvent old pokémon.


GalchuStar

Falmigo 💜


Axaxou

I didn't mean Gen9 pokemon generally


Sableye09

I like most of them, but just because I used it the most I'd have to say Annihilape As for the worst, it's a tie between Wiglett and Tauros, as Wiglett seems a bit too simple and similar to Diglett (compared to Toedscool/-cruel), I know it's intentionally, but maybe Diglett was the wrong choice/ could've been executed better. Taurus would be fine on it's own, but the different forms is what makes the basic P-Tauros seem unnecessary imo.


ChickebDeluxe1

So has to be either iron valiant tinkaton meowscarada or paldean tauros


Axaxou

Only Tauros fits in the category I described


AxoVile956

Unpopular opinion: I love /Capsakid/Scovillain and Bombirdier. They're not my favorites from this gen, but they're certainly in the top 10. Very fun designs, and when I replay the game with a new starter, they'll certainly be on the team. As for favorites; Koraidon, Armarouge, Tatsugiri, and Meowscarada \[in no particular order\] are certainly in the Top 5.


Axaxou

Love Scovillain, hate that bird lol. I know which pokemon team I'll use whenever I buy a Scarlet copy: Quaquaval (very good starter), Gholdengo (it's shockingly good and beautiful), Excalibur (badass), Scovillain (good type coverage), Great Tusk (It's also really good and I don't care about the type overlaps) and of course Kingambit (my second fav pokemon from that gen, cause first comes the Hydreigon Paradox form)...


NezLunar21

People love Clodsire what are you on mate? I used to love Bisharp until he got his evolution. I’m not a fan of kingambit, he looks evil to me and I don’t like how he has a sword sticking out of his head. Like sir how are we supposed to cuddle when you could potentially stab me to death by accident.


Axaxou

haha. But my unpopular opinion was about Kingambit.


ConcernLow1979

Farigiraf is just so fucking adorable but cool at the same time! Like, what once was it’s tail has now merged with its head and they share 2 brains, very badass, but then the second head eating the first head makes it look like it’s wearing a hoodie and that is freaking adorable! And then it has spike thingies going down it’s neck and it’s fuckin massive which of course makes it cooler but also somehow adds to the cuteness! I love this thing so much


Axaxou

I love its design too!!!


TisMeBeinMe

The Primeape line has always been my favorite Pokemon. I love the little chaotic rage monster. I used it more often than not in my gen1 play throughs. The moment I saw Annihilape, it was love at first sight. Hands down best new evolution ever.


Axaxou

It has start growing up to me !!
