Reader's Choice: The 10 Most Hated Pokemon


Here at IGN, we love Pokemon. Which is why we've been beating you over the head with it for the last three months or so. When we ran out Top 100 Pokemon feature, there were 549 Pokemon that weren't on the list. People raged and screamed that their favorite Pokemon was nowhere to be seen. But you know who nobody whined about? These 10 jerks. These are the worst Pokemon of the bunch, the ones that got the least votes by Pokemon fans. Lol.


Ain't no love for Smoochum, the baby evolution of the controversial Pokemon, Jynx. Why? Because there are a lot of things wrong with Smoochum, even aside from his name. First of all, human looking Pokemon are creepy as hell. Second, it wants to kiss us, but it's a baby, so that's also disgusting. But worst of all, you know that at Level 30 Smoochum is gonna evolve into that ganguro trainwreck Jynx, one of the ugliest Pokemon ever concocted. No thank you.


Good idea, Game Freak. Who wouldn't want a Pokemon that looked like a rodent, but was physically made of garbage? Oh, it looks like everyone. While Trubbish's evolution, Garbodor is highly more disgusting, it at least looks somewhat badass. Trubbish one just looks like the little bags you use to pick up dog sh*t.


Kricketot isn't so bad. Sure, it's boring, and ugly, and… um… well that's really it. With so many really cool Bug Type Pokemon out there, Pokemon fans have no patience for the boring ones. Kricketot looks like he got all dressed to go to a party that nobody invited him to.


How did Patrat manage to be this hated? Really we thought that Bidoof was the most reviled early game Normal Type rodent thing. But whether it's Patrat's evil looking eyes, or how it clashes with the last decade and a half of Pokemon design, fans just don't seem to like him. They must be as stoned as Patrat obviously is.


Oh look it's a mushroom but the top of it looks like a Pokeball! So when someone suggested this Pokemon… that would have been a good time to just quit. You've run out of ideas. You crashed though the bottom of the barrel. A third analogy that we can't think of.


What's funny is that we showed this Pokemon to multiple people who beat Pokemon Black

/White and they couldn't remember it existing. Clearly the developers were floundering for ideas. Get it? Cause it looks like a flounder? Shut up, you try to write these dumb jokes.


Luvdisc has sparked so man "Worst Pokemon Ever" lists that we could run a "Top 10 Luvdisc Haters" as its own feature. Not much to say. It's a heart, it's a filler Water Type, and it's absolutely useless. And we hate to say it, but it looks like an ass cushion.


Oh man is that another sexy baby Pokemon? AND it's a bug?! Jackpot! It's the perfect storm of Pokemon nobody want. Look, the only thing worse than a goth chick is that goth chick who has a kid and makes her baby be goth. That's this thing. She looks like juggalo baby.


Remember Metapod and Kakuna? They weren't cool, but they were vaguely interesting, and they worked as short bridge Pokemon on your way to sweet Bug Types. Silcoon and Cascoon are the lazy ass equivalent of those. They legitimately tied for the second to last place spot, which is hilarious.


Want to know a funny fact about Burmy? Her evolved form, Wormadam, is the 11th most hated Pokemon. So at least she has that to look forward to when she evolves. Is it a Pinecone? Is it a bug? It's ugly and it becomes a different ugly thing, which is enough for nobody to vote for it.

Sorry you ugly-ass Pokemon, maybe you'll all get better evolutions next generation.
