Well... he's the byproduct of one of the gods own creations. And the actual GOD pokemon would still stomp him.
I love the cries. I hate seeing the games docked in reviews because of the "outdated cries" as I hope they stay a while longer than they already have.
Articuno/Staraptor are my favourite, but each generation there's a handful of ones I like. Been a while since I played so I can't remember.

Gen 1 and Gen 2, coz they so memorable.
That kinda depends on Arceus' Plate, though, doesn't it? A Poison (LOL) Arceus would be eaten alive by Mewtwo.
To be fair, I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in pokemon, despite the price. It's a beautifully produced little package and the quizzes are fucking awesome. Especially if you think you're a pokenerd. They don't get much harder than the cries though. There are hundreds of pokemon,for Christ's sake. How am I supposed to know any but the most distinctive?!

Not necessarily. Arceus has more balanced stats. Well he has to get lucky lol.
I know Arceus has better stats, but still, with a Poison plate on he'd get maimed. It's Poison Type.
Still, while Arceus would have the advantage, I don't think Mewtwo would go down without a fight.
Every generations has its highs and lows even the early ones. Anyway this the 5th Generation has the best cries overall. I love Samurott's cry a lot for some reason.

If you want to go by story power levels Arceus has all the plates at once and can swap on the fly.
If you want to go by game then you can just make Arceus a dark type.
Deoxys because of form swaping on the fly would be another god tier story wise

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Meloetta now reminds me of Miku the more I look at her.
Kyogre is still considered the big Pokemon (ignoring Arceus). Dat weather pretty much ruins Mewtwo.
Wow, two stupid posts that have nothing to do with the topic!

Anime cries > game cries. You know it to be true.
Also, this thread turned badly to shit.

Kricketune's cry invades my dreams at night.
And I love it.

As much as I'm ready to defend a lot of accusations against some of newer Pokemon designs, Garbador is pretty horrible.
Man, you think I'd be used to this foolishness by now...

Idk
At least Garbador has a theme to him
And if you look at his pre evo it's makes even more sense
The only people that hate the pokemon after the first gen are hipsters or people that never bothered to play the way more fucking improved games that came after.
So Atricuno is number one in your heart? :lol

Articuno's has always been my favorite. It sounds majestic and then there's a sudden ZAP at the very end.
Hell yeah.
And Garbador vs Muk is actually pretty symbolic of what people prefer in old/newer gens. I personally think Muk looks way better, it's simple and has some consistent pattern. Garbador looks like he has too many colors, really weird body shape, and an annoying facial expression.

There is only one cry that brings me to tears when I hear it:

"Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!"
Lord no.

Hmm they never made a mon as distinct as Kricketune eh?
Hell no, Vannilish line is actually pretty cool in a "fresh, weird but unique" way. Much better than generic "I die at the sight of rocks" dragon with poorer stats.
And Trubbish -> Garbador has a working theme on it. Grimer -> Muk was just like "hah I grow big and change color!" Trubbish -> Garbador is more on Trubbish getting so much trash that it explodes into a large pile of junk.

I like crobat though.
He's like a pissed off looking gengar
Hell yes! anything with 4 wings is epic in my books.
Ran story mode with him in heart gold, refreshing change from pidgeot.

The Muk line is the embodiment of the old "get bigger and get angry eyes" stereotype for evolution.
Well, OK, Poliwrath is worse, but even so.

Too bad the sound quality of most of those is horrible.
I don't think that's fair. I just grew out of the games, that's all. Don't have to be a hipster for that to happen.
And for the record, looking at the videos, I'd say all the generations had highs or lows. I just think the lows increased with each passing generation. Hell, my big problem with Gold and Silver back in the day was that I thought few of the new Pokemon compared to the Red/Blue ones. I don't envy the monster designers in these games. Must be tough coming up with new designs with every generation.
I think it may be the opposite lol
I hear way more people who say "Everything went to shit after Gen I" than people who adore all the new Pokemon.

Really?! Nah man! Whaaat?!
Well yeah, storywise I suppose Arceus would have to be a God still, although, the anime has also suggested that Mew was a God, and since Mewtwo is an enhanced clone of Mew (in the anime, anyway. In the games Mewtwo is the genetically altered son of Mew), I suppose the case could be made there.
Setting Arceus to Dark seems reasonable, unless Mewtwo has Aura Sphere.
Pretty sure Charizard still manages to growl "CHAR" at times.
This topic has made me want to play Pokemon again and also rewatch the first movie.
I have a total nostalgic bias for Gen I, but Gothitelle has such a good cry.
But those are the ones with the worst sound quality and variation.

Seems like you guys hear this kind of thing a lot. I'll admit, I haven't played a Pokemon game since Gold and Silver. Where can I go for someone to explain to me what the hell this is?
A decent concept with bad art.
Like a lot of the new pokemon

I love Gen V's cries myself. They're all very fitting, from Musharna's psychadelic mumblings, to Gothitelle's Psycho chords to Scrafty's "Come at me, bro!" there's plenty of variety to go around. Special props goes to Krokorok's awesome electric guitar riff cries.
Anyone who says Gen I is strange, though. Some of them are really ear-piercing (here's lookin' atchu, Raichu) and some are just lazily reused (Charizard and Rhyhorn and Parasect and Mewtwo are the most obvious). I'm in the camp who thinks that the games have just gotten better with every new generation, so take that as you will.
