I always liked Lapras.
I will fight you...oh, wait, Ice has no fans.
Oh you're playing Blaze Black 2? Are you doing regular mode or challenge mode? I did challenge mode my first time and it was hellishly difficult under my usual self-imposed conditions (no healing items in battle, no grinding).
Skyla in specific was probably one of the most difficult things I've ever done in a video game let alone any pokemon game. So many resets.
Edit: What is Lapras supposed to be? When I was little it reminded me of the Lochness Monster.
Lapras is based on the fabled Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as Plesiosauria. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by placodonts. Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some cetaceans, especially blue whales and humpback whales. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mast heads and hulls of Viking ships.
XY went for the Kanto nostalgia and gave you a Lapras as well, right at the point you need Surf to continue your adventure, and it has a unique Surf model, but it lacked the same impact and felt a bit shallow, as in Red and Blue you were rewarded with one after you made your way through a difficult dungeon battling against Team Rocket while XY just handed it to you without any subtlety, treating it no different from all the other items NPCs just hand out from the goodness of their hearts. Well, that's XY for you!
So, who does everyone think is the most worthless pokemon in the game? I've got to say Unown. It doesn't evolve, has shit stats, and can only learn hidden power
I never used Lapras myself despite getting it every time I played Blue or Yellow. I used a Dewgong instead. We know it's part of the canon team for Red. His Lapras was one of the harder ones to take down in Silver and it had the benefit of being immune to hail. I think some of its moves are buffed from it too???
He had an Espeon? I don't remember that and it seems random considering Espeons weren't in his game and in the anime and pokemon Yellow Blue was the Evee trainer.
Megas are super useful. I mean, Mega Rayquaza is even good enough to be banned from most competitive play altogether. Just because you don't like a Pokemon doesn't make it worthlessI have never used a Lapras, not that I didn't want to use one just that every time I had the chance to use it I would opt for a different water Pokémon.
For me Lapras comes too late in the game for me to put it in my team.
I hated the pointless gen 1 pandering in X and Y, Game Freak might as well made a gen 1 remake.
Personally I would say Megas but that would be an easy answer.
So I would say Bibarel, I can't stand looking at his stupid face taking up a spot on my team doing nothing but being a HM reserve.
Hail doesn't buff any ice type move, it just makes it that Blizzard will always hit.
Red had an Espeon in the original Gold and Silver, it made his team far more balanced.
Also it wasn't random as you get an Eevee in gen 1 so that's where his Espeon came from, plus the animé has no baring on the show.

Grumpig, only because I can't stand it
Male Combee might be worse.So, who does everyone think is the most worthless pokemon in the game? I've got to say Unown. It doesn't evolve, has shit stats, and can only learn hidden power
It actually kinda sucks because Slowbeef is incredibly dense when it comes to learning the game and the Nuzlocke rules punish him hard. There are some great moments (The battle against Lt Surge is amazing), but it's overall bad. The best parts are when he's surprised by things that everybody else already knows, like the various surprise rival battles.Whoah this sounds awesome, I know what I'm watching
Still disappointed milotic and flygon didn't get a mega in oras...I can't believe I missed out on the Milotic defense force. Milotic is like top 5 GOAT pokemon. Gyarados is a shitty preteen sketchbook ragenaut. Anybody thinking gyarados is "cool" needs help.

but I guess Ice fans have to take what they can get...oh, wait, Ice has no fans.
I'm going to need MS Paint drawings for this oneI always thought Lapras looked like the British Isles, with its shell as Ireland.

I've always had a soft spot for the underdog. It's why I love Grass and Ice so much (although Grass is in a pretty good position).
Mamoswine, Frostlass, Weavile and Avalugg are always awesome to me. I like Walrein too but he suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks in battle.
Quick look at Bulbapedia and holy shit at the amount of Ice types available. Only 35.
I've used mono-Ice teams on Pokemon showdown's mono-type. Mamoswine is easily the best Pokemon for such a team outside if a mandatory Rapid Spinner or Defogger to get rid of rocks. I had some pretty great wins; my favorite was taking down a mono-Steel team with the combination of Shell Smash Cloyster and Mamoswine.I've always had a soft spot for the underdog.

Who needs ice types when just about every water pokemon can use most of the ice related attacks without the crippling weaknesses. /s

Yep pretty much, Water type Pokémon can do ice type job better than Ice type.
Ice type only grace was that they get stab on ice and are super effective against Dragon... then Fairy came along and did a better job than them.
Ice really really need a buff, but alas Game Freak decided that it would be funny to have the ice gym leader to mock them.
The moral of the story is that Game Freak are a very cruel developer.

I'd say that, Combee and Slaking are near the bottom. Admittedly, Slaking has great stats aside from its Special Defense, but it's completely hindered by its ability: Truant. This makes it only able to use an attack every two turns (though you can switch out on the second one assuming you don't use multi-turn charging attacks like Hyper Beam). This ability cripples any potential it could have had (I assume this was done to make the fifth gym leader easier even though it was pretty easy to just stick a Geodude/Graveler in front and Rollout until you win) by making it either have to switch or take a hit every other turn with no reason other than... it has a high Attack stat? It's speed is 100 so yes it's fairly fast but there's still a lot of Pokémon equally fast, if not, faster than it, many of which can knock it out in spite of its beefy HP. Even in the game in which it was introduced, it wouldn't be the most viable Pokémon if this ability was changed, so it baffles me that they have yet to give it a second one. You'd think it would get a Hidden Ability to resolve this come Black 2, but even now it's one of only a handful that don't have a second ability of any kind. In Doubles, it can work if you can change its ability or remove it via Gastro Acid (though this takes up a moveslot) but in singles, it's essentially giving your opponent a free hit, assuming they don't just use Protect and ruin any chance they had at hitting them.
I switched to Easy Mode after losing to Cheren. It didn't help much. His pokemon only dropped one level. Roxie was terror to beat and I only did due to save states and a lucky critical hit. Colress was hard as fuck too, mainly because of his Porygon 2 and those random trainers in cities who you have to ask for a battle are sort of tough. The one outside of Clay's gym is particularly hard, primarily because of his Slaking.

The Lapras and Gyarados talk reminded me of how awesome the Surf theme was in Gold, Silver, Crystal.
I mean just listen to this. The waltz is incredible. They got some magic out of that sound chip. Man, do I miss Go Ichinose's stuff.
Here's a remix from PokeRemixStudio. Guy is awesome.

These things don't need to make much sense when you're a kid. Anyway, here's the hasty mockup:
Perhaps it'd work better without Wales.

I will fight you
Fairy is probably my least favorite type. None of them look any good, design-wise.
Talking about the new ones introduced btw, not the ones that were re-branded as Fairy.
I was joking. I love the Snorunt, Snover, and Bergmite lines to death.
I'm not sure what I'd consider my least favorite Type...
