What we should do is try to find the weakest RBY Pokemon and nominate it! Post-RBY would be too easy.

The question of course is what the weakest RBY Pokemon would be. Obviously one that wasn't a big deal in the anime, for once. Paras, maybe? Its one episode sure sucked it up!

First one that comes to mind is Jynx. Needed to trade to get it, ugly design, not very good in battle.

Also, Albion recommended this pic as a good pic for Vault Boy next contest:

Paras episode was awesome. I loved seeing Charmeleon get owned by a poke.

As for a reasons why...

- Among many water Pokemon
- People don't fish too often
- No one uses it in battling
- Rarely seen in anime

Wow someone made a fad out of the least known RBY Pokemon

Probably was the reason.

Metapod vs Metapod is probably the most epic match in the history of the anime!

Dewgong is a cute little seal and wouldn't be weak by default.

Plus Victreebel was awesome in the anime because it was always trying to murder James!

I think most will agree Metapod sucks but it's a little too recognizable to be the weakest of all.

Bellsprout had that one episode that everyone remembers where it beat Ash's Pikachu and Bulbasaur before losing to Muk.

Zubat

We have a winner! Recognized by all, and exactly the reason he would do so poorly. Call it the 'Navi Effect'.

Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever
Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename
Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/27/2010 5:53:17 PM | message detail
People love Geodude, and I don't think people would be as pissed at Rattata as they would at Zubat!

Zubat might even be weaker than most post-RBY Pokemon! Zubat's basically the Tingle of RBY, always around when you never want to see him, which is pretty much all the time!

And then they bastardized him with Politoed.

We need to get Alakazam in the next contest.

On a side note, we should also rally Demon's Souls for the next Games Contest.

Holy crap I'm totally nominating Alakazam if I win the Guru. Sorry Seifer.

Weakest RBY Pokemon would be... Magnemite, maybe? Wasn't important in the anime if I remember correctly, doesn't have a memorable character design, could only be found in an optional location... yeah, he gets my vote.

;~;

My GEZORA disagrees with your assessment.

Every Pokemon has fans. Yes, I've seen Jynx fans. It's a matter of finding the one with the least fans.

Dewgong and Drowzee are good guesses due to their obscurity. Zubat might get too many recognizability votes despite the hatred. Jynx would definitely get enough joke votes to push it past last place.

And I'd say almost every Pokemon is capable of besting at least a couple of the hyperfodders we've met in the past. Not just Tanner, but Sandal, Ellis. Curtiss and Riggs, too. Might not take Burmy or some other lame Pokemon over all of those, though.

Oh, and for all the people who hate Zubat/Tentacool/etc because of wild encounters: Repel.

I buy Repel as soon as you can get it. Reduces frustration factor immensely. It's Zubat-Be-Gone.

I don't think you realize just how weak Tanner is.

And the fun part is that Snake beat Tanner when he should have ideally been at his peak strength! Imagine what he'd be like if he made the contest now!
