Pokémon you forgot even existed

[GatoRage]

So are there any Pokemon you see so rarely in the games that you forgot that they even existed?


For me it's probably Dunsparce or Qwilfish.

Hmm *need to look up for it's name* Sentret XD I totally forgot that pokemon, but I got one yesterday x'D, and it's not even uncommon at HG

Skorupi/Drapion. Every time I see one, I think to myself, "What the hell is that thing?" Honorable mention goes to some of the Gen IV evos and prevos. Most of them seemed unnecessary.

I used to forget about...Shuckle, Qwilfish, Tyrogue, Stantler, Dunsparce, Delibird...because I didn't get Silver until after FrLg came out, and I hadn't seen much of the anime (although I always find, oddly enough, that I remember more episodes than I think I do), so they pretty much escaped my notice almost entirely. I don't forget about them any more, though. Although, on a related note, for a while I thought that Corsola and Skarmory were third gen, for more or less the same reason.

Although there are a few fifth gen ones I still have a hard time recalling.

I can never remember the names of Eelectross's line even when I was raising one. The first one is...Tynamo, but I kept wanting to call it Tympole.

I think I forgot that Baltoy existed once, but other than that, I've got the rest down in my head.

[TFSpock]

Sometimes I forget about Spinda and some other Gen. III Pokemon.

 

[Suicide by cop]

If I was asked to name every Pokemon, I'd forget more Gen II Pokemon I think (lets not include Gen V Pokemon in the example, they're new). I never owned a Johto game until HGSS. And now I've got Silver.

i normaly have an amazing memory, but my mind went completly blank on Lumineon.
hell, i forgot it so bad, for the longest time i was calling it frilish.

 

[Kiyomaro]

I used to keep forgetting Finneon and Lumineon until I remembered that I kept forgetting them. Didn't help that I believe Lumineon was for the longest time the last Pokemon I needed to see to get the National Dex back when I first got Diamond.

 

[Cyber Jet]

Lumineon, I forgot that thing existed before reading thought this thread XD.

 

[Faye Scarlet]

These Pokemon are the ones I always forget when I take the Amnesia Attack at PsyPoke.

Qwilfish, Stantler, Buneary, Lopunny, Venonat, Venomoth, Cubone, Marowak, Doduo, and Dodrio.

 

[Ivysaur]

Not that I can name all the Pokemon off the top of my head or anything, but I don't really "forget" about any Pokemon, excluding maybe the unreleased 5th Gen legendaries.

 

[Kiyomaro]

You know, by the next generation, I can't wait to see how many people forgot about Heatmor and Durant. Especially Durant.

 

[Nick Ketchum]

Dunsparce, every time a trainer uses it in the game, I laugh cause I forget about it.

 

[pikachu200]

Altaria since its overshadowed by Salamence [who is under Flygon in my book]

 

[The Knights of Wario Land]

Chimecho.
Because you're more likely to encounter the Lock Ness Monster than that SOB in Gen 3.

 

[King Robert]

Dunsparce and Qwilfish, dang it. You two are so underused.

 

[Teravolt71]

How could I remember what I forget? Nah, but seriously, I have a pretty photographic memory when it comes to Pokemon, whenever I see one, I will more than likely, 99% of the time remember what it is.

 

[Gato]

Many Gen V ones. Chingling.
