Thinga, it's not the proportion that matters. It's the fact that in generation 1, there were three ghosts and three dragons. Generation 2, there's another ghost and another dragon. Generation 3, we have NINE dragons, three of which are legendaries, which is understandable, but then there's three regular old dragons out there. Generation 4 has SIX dragons, three of which are legendaries. Most of them just seem unnecessary and it just bothers me. Dratini and Dragonair and Dragonite were cool and special, but now that it's so easy to get a Dragon, it's just not as much of an accomplishment anymore. The same goes for ghosts. 6 newbies in RSE and EIGHT newbies in DP. It's too large of an increase to go from 4 in two generations to about four times that many introduced in the next two generations.

80. Lumineon (Water)

I honestly don't even have anything to say about Lumineon because of the fact that it's just another Water-type that filled up space in an already bloated 493 Pokemon. It's relatively elegant for a fish, so I guess that's enough to rank it this high.


79. Tangrowth (Grass)

And here we have the first of many evolutions of pre-existing Pokemon in DP. Tangela wasn't really anything special in RBY, aside from spawning many tentacle rape fantasies. So come DP, they finally decided to evolve it. But just like baby Pokemon, I feel that evolutions that come in new generations are just filler. I mean, it's never easy to evolve them. You either need to trade, or give them a special item to hold, and it's just not worth it. Tangrowth is just as boring as Tangela, so number 79 is where it falls.


78. Arceus (???)

Arceus is yet ANOTHER legendary included in DP. And furthermore, it's a legendary that's supposedly the God of all Pokemon ever. As a result, it was given the amazing ability to hold special plates in order to change its typing, thus making it the only monotype Flying Pokemon in the game. It's really just a gimmick and it bothers me. I don't need special God Pokemon. This ain't Yu-Gi-Oh!


77. Bronzong (Steel/Psychic)

Now, this write-up isn't objective, or Bronzong would probably be much higher, but I HATE this guy. The typing basically means that the only types he's weak to are Fire and Ground, and the abilities Bronzong has can nullify either one or the other. Fighting him in the elite four is terible, because the only weakness he has is Fire, which barely has any real use otherwise. Bronzong is the ONE thing that stands in the way of an easy elite four battle, and thus, he's on my shit list. Being a tank doesn't help matters much either.


76. Chimchar (Fire)

This has gotta be the worst starter of all time, just from a design standpoint. I mean, monkeys are annoying enough as it is, and to make a tailless monkey with a flame coming out of his butt is just plain stupid. It made me wish that the fake Dark/Fighting/Psychic starters were real. It's just lucky there were literally no other decent Fire-types and it evolves into cool stuff.


75. Magmortar (Fire)

Speaking of Fire-types, we have yet another new evolution here in Magmortar. It turns the already fugly Magmar into a FAT fugly evolution that isn't technically as strong, combat-wise. Seriously, from what I've heard, Magmortar is actually WORSE, competitively, than Magmar. Useless...just plain useless.


74. Gabite (Dragon/Ground)

Much like Gible before it, Gabite was just too much after we got Vibrava and Flygon in RSE. Plus, the whole land shark thing tells me that the Dragon typing was tacked on. This didn't need to be a Dragon at all. In the end, much like many middle forms, Gabite wound up being too goddamn fugly to be worth anything, and it comes too late in the game for me to care about it, training-wise.


73. Riolu (Fighting)

As much as I'd like to consider this a baby Pokemon, I don't think it really is, because Lucario was new to DP. As a result, Riolu is just a first form. Still, the thing LOOKS like a baby and it is hatched from an egg, which basically makes it like Togepi in my book, only a lot less cool. I'll give it props for evolving into something great, but Riolu just don't trigger anything for me. It's a dull Fighting-type.


72. Electivire (Electric)

Always teamed up with Magmar, Electabuzz evolves in DP, becoming the bizarre Electivire. Again, nothing really great about it, although I have to wonder why Magmar and Electabuzz have been teamed up with Jynx since the first generation, yet they leave her ugly ass as a second-stage while giving these two evolutions. Again, like most new evolutions, it's just nothing special in my eyes.


71. Cresselia (Psychic)

Yet another of the multitude of legendaries added to DP, Cresselia is one of the more annoying due to the fact that it, like the dog trio of GSC, can run away from any fight at any time, thus meaning you either have to waste an assload of time searching for it, or you waste a Master Ball. Either way it sucks. Cresselia makes it this high on the list because it looks kinda cool. I'd never bother catching one, but it looks cool.
