gaming Best Generation 5 Pokemon

[redaxted 1,765]

Generation 5 (Black and White, Black and White 2) of Pokemon is renowned for introducing some pretty bad Pokemon, mostly based off of their looks. Trubbish, Garbodor, the Vanilite evolution line just to name a few... However I think the generation also introduced some pretty awesome Pokemon designs. Personally, I think Bisharp, Eelektross, and the entire Snivy and Oshawott evolution lines are some of the best looking Pokemon out of all of them! But I think possibly my favourite design from generation 5 is Leavanny's. I think it looks different and generally cool. Not to forget that it's also got decent stats and moves.

 

Strangely enough, I also like Watchog. And Sawk is just amazing.

You're right! I'm a big fan of the snivy line - also Hydreigon is amazing

 

and I also think in B2W2 was pretty cool the fact that you could find a lot of great gen1-2-3-4 pokémon in the wild^^

Haxorus is so cool, this is my favourite, he got excellent stats and those blade on his mouth make him look really aggressiv. The pokedex description is cool. Everything is cool in this pokemon. He is one my favourite and my favourite of white and black

[SpikusFyre 486]

I agree with the Haxorus thing.

Please name some more, I want to know. The Trubbish line and ice cream line are always at the top of the list. Anything else?

 

My favourites: Bisharp, Krookodile, Leavanny, Galvantula, Scrafty, Hydreigon and Volcorona.

Well, a few other bad designs are those of the Solosis line, (they're original, but very strange looking) as well as the trio of Thundurus, Landorus, and Tornadus in many people's opinions. Although I do like the designs of those three personally, they are quite unoriginal because they all look the same. I don't particularly like the design of Pignite either. Another typical Fire+fighting type, although the Tepig line is possibly the weakest. I also can't forget to mention Klink...

 

But being as though I created this topic for everyone to discuss the GOOD Gen 5 Pokemon, so I'll have to mention that I actually really like the Litwick evolution line. I think Chandelure actually looks awesome, along with Emolga, and not to forget the amazing Zebstrika! I wuv Zebstwika :3

[Totally Ducklett 181]

Oshawott is adorable <3

 

I like how Bisharp looks, for sure.

 

I like the Roggenrola, Boldore, and Gigalith line.

 

Also, the Unfezant line.

 

And Cobalion looks cool.

[SquipyCheetah 449]

All starters, Victini, Blitzle, WooBat, Yamask, Venipeda, Sandile, Sigilyph, Archen, Trubbish (is oddly cute), Zorua (adorable), Minccino, Joltick, Deerling, Amoongus, Axew, Durant

 

That came off the top of my head...

[Photon Jet 5,492]

My all-time favorite Unova Pokemon is none other than Zekrom! The Pokemon looks so cool!

[Envy 6,274]

I love, love, love Sawsbuck! One of my top favorite Pokemon designs ever!

 

 

Samurott is also one of my top favorites... It's my favorite fully evolved starter by a wide margin.

Sawk! I completely adore this Pokemon. I just love everything about it, from its design to its battling style. A lot of people hate it, and while I don't have anything against those people, I do wish they were at least a little bit open-minded and use it in battles. It's such a fantastic Pokemon and is undoubtedly my favourite of all-time. 

 

Oh, and I'm also a fan of Mienshao. Sawk and Mienshao are fantastic and deserve more attention.

Want to know why Snivy is so smug?

 

Because they're the best Gen V Pokemon and they know it.

There are two notable pokemon from that generation I've taken a liking to.

 

The first: Joltik. It's so tiny and adorable! Plus it evolves into a giant electric spider. So much more useful than ariados and better designed as well. The other: Zoroark. I remember having a lot of fun trolling my opponents with this one in generation 5, tricking them into using psychic on it and then OHKOing with flamethrower. The first time I fell for that strategy, I was left awfully confused.

[Magnum Flare 553]

Hold on, lemme see the gen v list.

 

Sees list.

 

Okay, imo some of the best are

 

Escavalier

Elektross

Chandelure

Haxorus (Brutal as fck)

Accelgor

Mienshao

Golurk

Braviary

Hydregion

Volcarona

Keldeo

All Legends

 

The first pokemon that passed through my mind was Aegislash, but that pokemon was Gen VI lol

[Sunny Shimmer 259]

Geez Gen V. Last Generation I remember playing with was Gen III, I think. They haven't found a way to make me pick up a newer Pokémon game since.

[PoisonClaw 8,171]

What, no one else likes the Reuniclus line? This adorable ball of huggable floating goo? 

 

Some of my other favorites include Bisharp, Elektross, Scolipede, Yanmask and Cofagrigus, Zebstrika, Carracosta, Hydregion, Heatmor, Elgyem and Beheeyem, Haxorus and Accelgor. 

[Radiance64 7,053]

Whatchu talkin' 'bout, gen 5 has the best overall Pokémon designs

The best ones being Zekrom and Bisharp

[Mothra 748]

 

 

Hydreigon is amazing

 

 

I was gonna say vanilluxe (No joke, I love the Ice cream pokemon) but Hydreigon is cool too, I think I agree with you on Hydreigon being king of gen 5

 

I did also love Reshiram for the first year or so of the fifth generation games release
