70. Yanmega (Bug/Flying)

This is yet another of the new evolutions from DP of a Pokemon I never really cared for to begin with. Honestly, GSC and DP have always been the two generations where I just didn't care enough to go out and "Catch 'Em All", and Yanma/Yanmega just fall way outside of my range of caring. It's fast, I'll admit that, and it's supposedly better than Ninjask, but I just have no first-hand experience and I consider Yanmega to be boring.


69. Mesprit (Psychic)

Yet ANOTHER legendary Pokemon makes the list, and at this point, I have to wonder why the hell they put so many in, especially with so little effort going into their creation. Mesprit, like the others of the legendary trio, is just a weak Mew wannabe. Uxie is the tank and Azelf is the juggernaut, which means Mesprit is just a middle-of-the-road, boring Pokemon, nothing special.


68. Hippopotas (Ground)

While I appreciate the effort going into the creation of a monotype Ground Pokemon, but Hippopotas is just creepy and weird looking as far as hippos go. Catching him is a chore due to the placement of his hideout and his rarity, and in the end, I just thought he was a stupid attempt at being cartoony. Hippopotas is slow and slow is bad given how many weaknesses Ground has as a typing.


67. Buizel (Water)

I'll admit that Buizel is a cute design, even if it is another of the already too many Water Pokemon in the game. He's also pretty damn fast and capable in battle, even though at early levels, he doesn't have many attacks that utilize his Water-typing. One of the biggest problems is that Buizel has one of the most blindingly hideous color-schemes in the game with bright orange and bright yellow, and that just doesn't work for me.


66. Pachirisu (Electric)

As far as Pikachu ripoffs go, I'll at least give Pachirisu credit for going beyond what Plusle and Minun did in RSE by making themselves almost EXACT ripoffs. Sure, Pachirisu is an electric rodent, but he's designed like a squirrel and he's blue. Other than that, he pretty much IS a Pikachu clone, and it's only a matter of time until he makes it into Super Smash Brothers.


65. Bastiodon (Steel/Rock)

I typically don't care for fossils and I don't care for tanks either, and Bastiodon fills both of those categories. As a result, I never really bothered with it, probably because I got Diamond instead of Pearl. Honestly, Steel gets paired up with Rock far too often for my tastes, and as a result, it turns even the best tanks into weaklings against Fighting and Ground.


64. Probopass (Rock)

Sometimes, I have to wonder why they make the decisions to evolve certain Pokemon that really have no business being evolved. I mean there are some that are extremely close to being useful and an evolution helped them out, but Nosepass isn't one of those. Nosepass was weak and slow and nowhere near good enough to evolve. Probopass is funny looking though, so I guess that's something.


63. Toxicroak (Poison/Fighting)

The first thing that Toxicroak improves upon from Croagunk is the fact that Toxicroak doesn't look retarded, or like a stoner. And additionally, the name is infinitely cooler than Croagunk. Still, it's just another Pokemon I never really bothered with because of poor typing, but I will admit it's a decently strong Pokemon.


62. Togekiss (Normal/Flying)

Did I miss something back in GSC? I mean, Togepi was awesome in the anime and was improved upon in its evolution. Does it REALLY need another evolution for seemingly no reason? Don't get me wrong, Togekiss is supposedly great, but come on, this is the sort of thing that makes me wonder if the designers were even trying when they were trying to create new Pokemon for the DP generation.


61. Heatran (Fire/Steel)

Fire/Steel is a unique typing, but Heatran is yet another of the far too many legendary Pokemon added in this generation. It's also one of only three new Fire-types, and is disappointing by comparison to the Fire-types from previous generations. Also, they decided to give Heatran a gender for some reason, despite making it incapable of mating, which just boggles the mind. Honestly, what is the point of that?
