Zubat has tons of fans, especially since it's actually pretty useful.

Some animals hatch from eggs. Not that hard to figure out.

Gen 3 and 5 are filled with forgetful Pokemon since they did the "let's have only original Pokemon" gimmick. So they filled the routes with Pokemon that would never be used again, rather than throwing in one of the hundreds of other Pokemon they already had.
All those 6 eggs hatch from a single egg. It's pretty hard to figure out considering they also involve into a palm tree of all things.
They were obviously on drugs when designing it.
1/3 of the Hoenn dex was filled with old Pokemon.

Heatmor is probably way down there. Unremarkable in most aspects, and always tucked away in endgame areas.
Eh, I feel the opposite. Gens 2 and 4 (Especially Gen 2) suffered from the new Pokemon being much less prominent than classic Pokemon. This led to hilarious situations like people assuming Skarmory was a Gen 3 Pokemon because nobody actually saw it in GSC.
Hence Pokemon like Qwilfish, Stantler, Corsola, Wormadam, Cherrim, etc. often showing up in "most forgettable Pokemon" list.

Trubbish?
Mr. Mime is the only shiny Pokemon I've ever encountered in my playing career that wasn't Red Gyarados. In Pokemon X/Y.
He was my main for that game :3 dazzling gleam ftw

They're barnacles. It's not that crazy by Poke standards.
Remember Maractus? Me neither.
Also Trubbish is cool fight me.
Maractus is one of my favourite designs ever. Sooo cute
Anyone saying stunkfish is wrong too. Thing is hideous, but it has a bunch of merchandise in Japan and was pretty popular.
Finneon is a good example of a forgotten pokemon
Pinecone
Dude Brock's pineco was memorable as fuck during johto. Dude would explode when ever brick attempted to flirt
I thought that Alomomola was Luvdisc's evolution. That's kind of bizarre.
Corsola and Luvdisc. Incredibly unremarkable stats for both, and they don't have particularly memorable designs (actually, sometimes i go from really loving the simplicity and cuteness of Luvdisc, to thinking it's one of the worst Pokemon designs).
I thought this other Pokemon was going to be Luvdisc's evolved form before Black and White came out.
Nope, that's Alomomola (I had to look up that name). Another worthy canidate for least popular Pokemon.
I actually like Corsola.

Did you remember Cherubi? No, no you probably didn't.

Still waiting for the "alomomola as luvdisc mega-evo" retcon.
I actually have a Cherubi plushie. Thing is adorable af.
As I said, Seel is a very obvious counter to that claim.
Too bad that nothing hatches from this Pokémon aside from that palm tree for some reason.
Seriously, some people look at the newer Pokémon with the very intention to find a flaw to complain about.
Here's a pro Tip: Look at the older Pokémon with the same overly critical manner that you do for the newer ones. I'll guarantee that you'll find out that a lot of the criticism thrown at newer Pokémon actually applies to the older Gens too.
Example: Despite Blastoise being one of my Top 5 Pokémon of all time, I have come to realize that it's design could have been straight out of Digimon with an Animal that just got some weapons attached to it

So there's this Pokemon none of you remember named Lumineon right?
Well surprise there's a baby Lumineon named Finneon that you've probably never even seen.
I have a living dex and, for the life of me, don't remember Finneon being in it. :lol

Wow. Until right now I had totally forgotten that this thing even exists.
So it gets my vote.
Fine, I'll give it a try. Probably easier than using Google Trends.

Spewpa 93,100Some of the names generated some absurd numbers. With the exception of the obvious big ones (Pikachu and Mewtwo) I assumed that it's because the name is shared by something else. In those cases, I added "Pokemon" to the search and noted it above.
These winners were my first thought:
I just noticed the shells...

Damn. Spewpa is a Pokeball mon in Smash and it's still at the bottom.
Also, I get the feeling that Omanyte wouldn't be in a Gen I bottom ten if you included searches for "helix fossil."
Spwepa:
Whhaaaatt??? Noooooo! I actually like this one. :O
Avalugg:
This one takes the cake though. What the hell is that!?!?!
I think the one that's really distorted is Golem. I would be amazed if Golem was really that popular. It's probably got the Regis and the Golurk line mixed in since they're golem Pokemon.
Also, I thought Ninetales might be mixed in with Naruto or something, but I'm not seeing significantly different results with "Nintales Pokemon".
They're schnauzers what else do you need?!

What's the stance on Roggenrola? He's probably my favorite, because he's just a rock, but I get a sense that he's not high on most people's lists.

Merry Christmas, I guess.
Nahh Delibird (sp?) is cool because of his Pokémon Stadium minigame.
Any pokemon used as an avatar cannot possibly be the least liked of them all.
edit:
See it's not even at the bottom of it's generation!
Edit 2:
You may be my champion, bro!

Gigalith saves that line. Again, so many missed shots on gen V...

Does anyone actually like Jynx?
You can hide stuff behind [ email ][ /email ] tags or something like that, right? I want to post the full version of the data above, but I don't want to make everyone scroll over a gigantic post.
There's probably a whole subculture of people who love debating whether or not Jynx is a racial caricature

I nominate Klinklang.
Did you know its 'face' is completely expressionless? It never changes expression.. It can't look happy, sad, or angry. What you see is literally what you get. Always and forever. The 'face' may as well be a sticker stuck on the gear. Imagine being a trainer and trying to interact with it. How would you even begin to have an emotional attachment to such a thing that seems so completely devoid of life?
I don't think there is ANY other Pokemon that can't emote to the degree of this 'Pokemon'.
