Overrated is a word that gets thrown around a lot but some things can only be described as overrated. Sometimes those things are Pokemon. That's right, sometimes a Pokemon just doesn't live up to the hype surrounding it. In the end that Pokemon is nothing like what you expected. It's not terrible, but it's not the best thing since sliced bread. Those Pokemon are just overrated. Here's a list of the top 5 most overrated Pokemon.
What can I say about Pikachu that hasn't already been said about the sport of baseball? It's boring, repetitive, the antithesis of exciting and will likely be irrelevant in another 15 years. Pikachu is a terrible Pokemon and easily taken out. The reason people think it is so great is the anime. The Pikachu does things in the anime that aren't possible. Ash's Pikachu beat Brock's Onyx with a thunderbolt attack. Onyx should have killed that electric mouse because ground types aren't effected at all my electric type moves. Not to mention the anime hypes it up as this super rare Pokemon. Then you pick up a game and there's a forest full of them and you realize why they're called rodents.
I for one like Charizard. I picked Charmander every time. Fire is usually my starter because Charmander made me love them. But, let's not sit here and pretend he isn't overrated. A "surf" or "rock slide" move comes through and it will wash him. He's out of the game for good. Forget that he's one of the Pokemon that looks most like a dragon, he's not even a dragon type. He got two mega evolution stones, and neither one made him formidable. It took decades before they finally made him into the dragon he should have been from the start.
A grass wizard and time traveler has to be one of the most powerful pokemon ever right? It is until a charmander comes through with an ember attack. After that, it's all over. No more time traveling for you. The only reason Celebi is popular anyway is Serebii.net. I went there, got the T-shirt and came back.
Lucario is cool as fuck. He's a metal dog that fights and beats up other Pokemon with a bone he can pull from thin air. He has the ability to psychically communicate with people in the films and he can use Vegeta's Big Bang Attack in anime, and games. He's so damn cool. Lucario is what Cubone wants to be when he grows up. Yet, no matter how cool he is a flamethrower will come in and melt his ass.
This the God of pokemon. With a capital G. It's supposed to be the master of creation. Not just for Pokemon but humans as well. It's a plain old normal type. Then it has a plate for every type of Pokemon. Shouldn't this be some kind of Pokemon with multiple types, maybe something that nothing is super effective against. Instead a strong brick break will break down PokeGod.
You should buy Darrell's Book, watch him on the Blerds Online YouTube Channel or The CP Time and Powerbomb Jutsu podcasts.

The anime hypes up most Pokemon cause Butterfree weak as hell but the anime made me love it. Pikachu is trash outside the anime. People only catch him to get a Raichu - Garser
ReplyDeletein my opinion celebi is a good pokemon
ReplyDeletegardevoir is the real overrated pokemon. period.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see how it would end up on this list.
Deletenot at all
DeleteAt least lucario and Arceus are decent, Charizard is 4x weak to the rock and pikachu is weak. Celebi ain’t a fairy type tho
ReplyDeletePikachu stinks. Everybody knows it. I'd love to see him die just to see fans reactions at one point.
