Ranking All Generation 1 Pokemon - Tier List

@@disguisedvampire6493 it’s not toxic positivity. It’s being reasonable and talking about why a design is bad and at least one thing that’s good about it. Being a pessimist isn’t much better, now is it? What is being completely negative going to do? I know the internet just loves being completely negative all of the time but it’s refreshing to see someone who isn’t overly positive nor overly negative. He is still listing the bad things in a design without completely ignoring the positives. That’s all. Why is that so bad to you? Maybe your just too cynical.

I really like that you have a generally positive outlook on most pokemon. Even the ones you don’t like that much, you still appreciate in some way (except ekans lol). A lot of other people talk about how much they hate certain pokemon rather than appreciating what’s good about them

[@rocklerock495]

4:03 "Literally looks like a snake" I don't understand what you by the whole dislike on this Pokemon, but the concept for this Pokemon IS A SNAKE. That's like saying Pigey looks like a bird when it IS A BIRD. A pigeon is more specific than a general name "snake."

[@yaboi8er]

I personally would really love for this to continue. And specifically I feel like you haven't talked about a lot of Johto Pokémon before, so I'm curious what your opinions are.

[@Leanashe23]

I love snakes and what disappoints me about Ekans is how it has no teeth … A snake that looks like an old man missing his false teeth? I have a soft spot for Arbok though as it was my very first shiny :)

[@primarinegaming6761]

True we need a snake Pokémon with very sharp teeth

[@castform7]

I actually did this myself a while back to see what I actually thought of all these Pokemon. It turned out that Gengar was my favourite Pokemon from Kanto which I believe makes sense. I'm a firm lover of simple yet effective and Gengar is an embodiment of that philosophy. Other notables in my S-tier were Pokemon like Vaporeon, Vileplume, Mewtwo, Lapras and Snorlax.

[@hyperion7031]

yeeees vileplume is greeeeaaat

[@hihowareyou61]

I know this might be infamous but i love Dragonite. A gentle dragon but in battle, it’s a beast! This will always be my favorite Pokémon.

[@alvaronavarro4895]

It made me very happy to see you put Raichu that high. It's my favourite Pokemon ever and it saddens me that his nice desing is overshadowed by Pikachu

[@valarmis]

Raichu > Pikachu, ignore TPC's propaganda claiming otherwise

[@IthinkIneedAhug]

I love how you give your reasoning, but its funny cause for some you gave really nice and thoughtful critiques on, my brain just goes "cute, yes, like. doofy, love. ew gross do not like. dumb, do not like." I think I don't like a lot of the "cool" looking ones because they don't seem cuddly and friendly to me. I didn't realize that was important to me until typing this comment, like how enjoyable would hanging out on the couch be with this pokemon? Can I pet it and cuddle it and give it snacks? I tend to like the first stage of families most because of this. I would definitely be the type to just have pokemon as pets and not battle them :P

Dragonair to Dragonite is always the biggest downgrade to me. They do not look related, and this majestic beautiful serpent turns into a derpy (but cute) chubby dragon. It's just not where I wanted the line to go, and would rather Dragonite be a late game pokemon or be the male form from Dragonair.

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

I like Ekans's simple concept and purple coloring. The eyes are pretty neat, too. Brings it a bit above just "a snake."

Those are basically snake eyes though. It’s not a simple concept so much as it is no concept.

I definitely want a gen 2 tier list! If you feel up to it, gen 3 would also be interesting. They're actually my favorite gens, and I know you're a big fan of gen 3 while not liking gen 2 as much. I think it'd be interesting to see your opinions on those. I like Charizard too! And its Mega X form is actually pretty great. My S tier for gen 1 is probably: Gyarados, A-Ninetales, Ninetales, Vulpix, A-Vulpix, Lapras I like Vulpix, Ninetales, and their Alola forms all equally. Some notable A-tier mons: Gengar, Dragonair, Bulbasaur, Charizard X, Growlithe, Arcanine, Butterfree

[@theoaremevano3227]

Venonat is one of my few favorites that's an earlier evolution and wish more of its design was evident in Venomoth. It takes a potentially pretty creepy looking bug and makes it into a really cute little monster. Also, I always preferred Haunter's look over Gengar. That may be because of its intentions though. Haunter is meant to look fun-loving but creepy while Gengar has an intentionally more malicious and bully-like personality, something reflected often in its game appearances when it's given character. I think because of how accurate their personalities are, I like Gengar less, just on a personal level, but I also think it's conveyed so well in their designs that I can't argue with its placement in terms of artistic success. The only thing I don't care for about Eevee is because its face looks like a human face stuck on a puppy's body sometimes. Depends on the art I think, but I prefer the evolutions it has with a more dog-like snout (or in vaporeon's case more of a cat-face look, but it still doesn't have the impression of a cartoon person face on an animal's body.)

[@Zonose]

I am so happy to see you put my favorite pokemon Scyther in A+ tier. Edit: I also agree on Jinx, I'm not one to hate any pokemon, because I believe that every Pokemon is loved by someone, but Jinx is one of the only pokemon I truly dislike, next to Stunfisk, Bruxish, and Volbeat/Illumise.

"...disliking it is kind of a you problem, it's not Eevee's" As a massive Eevee fan, I approve of this quote.

[@wispyfox6854]

My personal Kanto favorites are the 3 starter lines Charizard being the highest of the 3) not cuz im that kind of genwunner charizard fan i just really love how its depicted in the anime and Origins to be this gentle pokemon with a kind heart but can be terrifying to protect its trainer. Also i'd say maybe right above Blastoise is Starmie i just really love how pretty it is and that pop of red in its shiny Gem core is lovely along with the purple and yellow it just is perfect for a pokemon that isn't from this world. Also Rhydon is high up there with others like arcanine (its just a huge fluffy dog i wanna pet it) Mew obviously its simple but works due to it having DNA of every pokemon, its iconic just like Pikachu and Eevee who are also up there Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash are up there as well again i think they are pretty i do tend to go for pretty pokemon or cute ones (also for the starters im including their megas 1 spot higher then the normal ones except mega charizard X, its 1 step down for me i just prefer the Y version i just love how pretty it is and i swear i don't shut up about the word pretty but yeah those are just a few of the mons that are top tier for me (MY OWN OPINION) its okay if any of you disagree im not gonna be mad my favorite pokemon is literally morpeko i can't judge any opinion

If sticking to Pokemon that you only could have obtained in the original games (excluding Legendaries) his team would be Arcanine, NIdoking, Vaporeon, Scyther, Gengar, and Lapras (or Venosaur if you want to keep a starter pokemon). That's a pretty cool and talented team.
