Well, the thing with the level 1 aron is that it is currently banned for use. Reasoning is that there are very little counters to it and you will always need one slot on your team to specifically counter it.Prof. Monkeypox said:

But... Aron and his kin can use Head Smash now... (thank you, HG/SS). Its typing is still pretty "meh", but a ridiculously overpowered Rock-type (with STAB) move that has no down side (thanks to Rock Head), finally useable speed (thanks to skillful use of Trick Room and/or Rock Polish), defense boosts from Sandstorm (making Metal Burst that much more fun)? I'm sold.Crazed_Puppeteer said:
Too bad the websites don't like him... poor Aggron.
I would like this. Mix up all the already existing Pokémon, pick about 300 of them, and plunk them into a new game with a revolutionary feature: actually being able to *gasp* socialize with your Pokémon!Johnnyallstar said:Probably not going to happen. Why? Flareon is a gen-1, and they really don't care much about gen-1 except for Pikachu.
I'd love to see Game Freak decide to go deeper, and not broader. Why not strip down to the first gen, or first two, and make a deeper, more satisfying game, rather than just rehashing the same old stuff with new sprites? Because it's not as easy
There will always be a place for MOAR SPECIES, but it doesn't have to be a never-ending deluge. They could work with the selection we have now and create some great new games with a little more creativity and ambition than they've shown. I have... a reasonable amount of faith that this will happen.
I haven't played White Version yet. I hope it's a step in the right direction, but I know it'll only be a step, at most. Still, can't wait!
Exactly, as I said, all I can think of is a ghost.TerranReaper said:
However, I wonder who came up with it, or how long it took for it to occur to them.
I love Arbok, it looks the shit. Unfortunately it actually IS shit in battle. So every time I send mine out I instantly regret it. It doesn't stop me from lovingly training and healing it to keep pace with my team though...it looks great on the Hall of Fame screen.
Also, Nidoking. Looks like the meanest ************ ever to evolve from a moonstone, and is so astonishingly mediocre in all his stats that it's an injustice.
And Pidgeot. I always play with a Pidgeot even though it kind of sucks.

Well, it's my all-time favorite Pokemon. So, I know it rather well.jcb1337 said:
Lee is actually fantastic.AngelicSven said:
Flareon, though I think Venasuar is under powered for what he could be.
Other then that... I think Glaceon could use a better balancing. And Leafeon, cause its attack doesnt really help it with the limited move pool.

Scyther. He hasn't got much going in the way of type-based moves but damn he can rip shit up, and fast.
STAB has a lessened effect for dual type pokemon? Huh, guess I can still learn things about this game.Onyx Oblivion said:
My favorite pokemon to use is Scizor, seriously, don't fuck with my Scizor, I hit the breeding jackpot with its IV's (I'm pretty sure its speed is 31 and it's attack is around 27)
Here's its moveset:
X-Scissor
Iron Head
U-Turn
Swords Dance
Love it, also it only has a SINGLE WEAKNESS (Fire, which unfortunately is a 4x weakness) so that is really nice.
Diglett/Dugtrio
Too damn fast to pass up, but terrible defense stats.
Oh, and Vileplume.
And Cloyster. They're my two favourite pokemon and I use them whenever I can.
Both have decent defenses, though Cloyster's Sp. Def is abysmal. One moderately powerful electric move and it's gone.
Plus, the lack of decent movepool is a real damager. You have to level up a Shellder to around 50 just to make us of Ice Beam.
EDIT:
And Beedrill.
So lame, yet so badass.

Here's the Magikarp Sweep mentioned earlier:Prof. Monkeypox said:

And on the Aron sweep, couldn't something that resisted sadnstorm, something with Toxic or something with Roar or Whirlwind just end that sweep?
Heh. Funny this thread pops up as soon as I'm thinking about starting that copy of HeartGold I haven't really touched yet.
To maybe add something interesting to the discussion, maybe the OP can edit his post to include this, but what's a high tier Pokemon that you guys find boring?
Personally, I'd say Starmie. Yeah, he has a good moveset, great typing and excellent speed, but it's just so BORING looking.
