Pokemon You Don't Want To Catch!

Dark Arcanine | November 15, 2008 | Blog | PC Wii

Jack DeVries of ign.com recently went to an event for the upcoming Pokemon game, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. While there, he decided for some unknown reason to compile a mental list of the Pokemon you really just don't want to catch, the sort that mentally prevent you from catching them all.

Each Pokemon listed is given a little bit of information (Name, Type, Number and Species) from the Pokedex before a a nice healthy statement of why you don't want to go anywhere near that Pokemon with your balls.

It's no surprise Probopass is on there...

Lol. Great article. I got a few laughs out of it.

Especially loved this line ... "It's like his mom was a giraffe and his dad was a Chain Chomp from Super Mario Bros 3".

  Dude, if you had Jigglypuff and really strong set of earplugs, you could rape people so easily. Think of the possibilities.

He's got a point with Girafarig, though I found it even funnier he was trying to bring logic into a Nintendo game.

  _{Even though Girafarig other head is part of his Tail. Its not coming out of his ass. Also I like all those Pokemon. Everyone has their unique abilities. I would rather him choose Unknown since all they can usually do is hidden power. And Christ there's 26 different versions of them(to the alphabet).
  
  Jynx is ice and Physic though.}

  Did you read the Smeargle section of the article? It's because of the "disgusting tail", though personally I just think Smeargle is freaky altogether.

    Smeargles tail is it's paintbrush. It's a creative type of pokemon. It likes to paint.

  The level 96 Jynx I had on Silver is one of the best Pokemon I've ever had.

    Lol. I had silver once. I had about 8 lvl 100s. Then i lost the game at my bro's swimming lesson. I got crystal in replacement, and also got about 8 lvl 100's THEN LOST AT THE SAME DAMNED PLACE.

Combee should NOT be up there, his evolution is spectacular.

What would Jynx do in this game anyway? Shoot ice around the field to BLOCK, NOT HELP YOU GET AROUND?

  Her evolution, since a male Combee can't evolve!
  
  Jynx is half Psychic...

I LOLed at a few of these, even if I saw some parts coming (like how Loudred's ears = speakers. I wondered how that would work).

Meh, I like trying to rationalize illogical things. It stimulates the mind, at the same time as confounding it.

A collection of pokemon, you don't want to catch! Well, not that you don't want to, just that, well, you won't catch.
