I've always found Lucario to be really boring because he might as well just be a human. I don't particularly care for Zoroark either except it's incredibly cool ability that I feel is wasted on a really mediocre Mon. My dislike leans more towards the fact that they're just fursuit Pokemon though.
I'd disagree for Zoroark. His proportions and design are dynamic enough to distinguish him from the anthro mons that might as well be food mascots.
 
Am I the only one who dislikes Lucario... not out of association with furries, either? That Pokémon is exceptionally popular, but I always found Lucario ddly ugly in my point of view. Bogleech managed to explain my feelings (even those regarding Riolu):

I actually feel bad and weird tha the Pokémon fanbase did not latch on Zoroark, which I agree is a vastly superior design:
Here. If I want to have a mon that can use Aura Sphere then I just use Togekiss. Togekiss is a top tier gen 4 mon and I hate it isn't more popular. I never do a Platinum/HGSS playthrough without one on my team.
 
>Staraptor
>Luxray
>Underrated

Everyone and their mother had either one or the other on their team
It's sad that it's so true.

If you out there, might I recommend Abomasnow, Cherrim, Vespiquen, Gliscor, to again name a few? Hell, toss Lumineon in there as well. All of these are mons I would like to use in a playthrough, but we only have the 1, after all.

Gligar and Gliscor not being Ground/Poison pisses me off. Cherrim in Dynamax Adventures is pretty helpful, but iirc getting it in D/P/Pt is a pain in the ass. Lumineon I have considered, it's growing on me because of New Pokemon Snap. Multiple people in thread suggested Bibarel which I'll be using as my Water-type, so I'll probably make a secondary team with it and Cherrim (since Turtwig will be my starter). Gliscor is a good suggestion though, thank you!

I used Abomasnow and Vespiquen in previous runs. Admittedly, I cheated so I could get a Vespiquen because I wanted to use it. Both of them are pretty good, but Abomasnow specifically was a bit of a glass cannon in my experience. I actually have at least two shiny Abomasnow in Ultra Moon thanks to the Ultra Wormholes (at one point I had it as my goal to get all the shinies from them, which I haven't done yet...) and am tempted to try and get a shiny Vespiquen. Hopefully not by cheating this time.

But remember: emulation is free, my friend. You can use them through that if you really want to.

I never cared for Lucario as a Pokémon itself, but the eighth movie made one sympathetic that I have to constantly remind myself Sir Aaron's Lucario is not every other Lucario. Kinda similar to how I have to remind myself anime Mewtwo is his own separate interesting character from game Mewtwo despite the similar origins (especially when Pokémon: The Origin was released).

Zoroark has the best design, though, yes. Too bad the 13th movie didn't really capture people's attention, and that it was already difficult enough to get it for yourself in B/W (seriously, wtf).

Cherrim is hot garbage, you might as well be suggesting Wormadam/Mothim. They would be fun in challenge runs though.
 
Whats your least favorite pokemon?.
i fucking hate snover with every ounce of my being. I want to publicly execute snover. Every time i see snover my vision goes completely red and i go into a blind rage, murdering every snover in sight. I wish i could curb stomp snover's stupid ugly fucking skull into a puddle of red goop. I want to face a whole team of snover towards a brick wall and gun them down like the undesirables they are. Snover should have never existed
 
Base Cherrim maybe, but I wouldn't scoff at its sunny form. Also, you better not be talking trash about Wormadam!
Sunny Cherrim isn’t that great, it’s still not very fast and doesn’t get a Special Attack boost. What’s so special about Wormadam? The various cloaks are cool but they don’t accomplish much, it’s still mostly a generic Bug-type and its Abilities barely do anything.

It used to be Luvdisc, now it’s Blipbug. Blipbug is hideous and encapsulates everything wrong with Gen 8 character design. Calyrex is also really dumb-looking.

Smoochum and Jynx are my classic answers, though I recently really don't like Cinderace.

For me its Roggenrola and its evolution

Bastard doesn't have the decency to die in one hit

A lot of Pokémon should've never seen the light of day, and in my opinion, Snover isn't one of them. It's cute, reminds me of Studio Ghibli's character design in a way.

Want a ice type that looks like shit? Eiscue. How did that thing get greenlit? It has to be one of the most uncreative designs.

The majority of Generation 8 look like shitty Fakemon. Every new gen has a Fakemon feel at first, but at least it wears off after awhile. But with Generation 8, for me, that feeling never went away.

I don't really hate allot of Pokémon. But if I had to pick, it would either be Stantler or Eiscue.

I’m still amazed that Chimecho and Chingling exist. I can honestly say that in about 13 years of playing the franchise, I have neither seen nor caught either of those pokemon and I’m only vaguely aware of them from the show and the 10fps trailer Chingling. Baby pokemon were already a bad idea (the unreleased gen II ones are fun to laugh at though) and giving a baby to a literal afterthought pokemon is embarrassing.

It's very cute despite it's uselessness! At least they don't get a 4x weakness to fire unlike Abomasnow, I haven't met a single Abomasnow who could survive a small blaze lol!

Diggersby is my least favorite Pokémon of all time. Nothing even gets close.
It's like they went to local construction sites and asked to see the greasiest motherfuckers around, then decided to base the design on the offspring of Big Chungus plus the greasiest of the greasy motherfuckers they polled!

It used to be Luvdisc, now it’s Blipbug. Blipbug is hideous and encapsulates everything wrong with Gen 8 character design. Calyrex is also really dumb-looking.

These weird eletric bugs they've been putting on the latest games are really fucking ugly! Calyrex looks like Megamind after fucking a deer lol!

I find the cloak mechanic determining it's secondary typing when it evolves to be pretty neat. Not to mention it could evolve to part Steel (4x weakness to fire, sure, but the resistances make up for it imo).
 
Greedent, it looks stupid as hell and always steals my berries.

I mentioned this earlier, but I've found Cherrim quite useful in Dynamax Adventures. Wormadam I have no opinion on yet, but when I was younger I was so mad that Mothim couldn't be a girl (even though "him" is in the name) that I cried.

Greedent, it looks stupid as hell and always steals my berries.

Greedent was the first shiny I got in Sword. Otherwise, fuck all of them, especially the one in the tree on Dyna Tree Hill. Took me three tries to beat that piece of shit. Others on that list I can think of include Dubwool (who I love but Jesus Christ stop having high defenses), Starmie and Noctowl.
