Ahh johto, for a good long while the gen 2 games pokemon gold and silver and more specifically
Heartgold and SoulSilver were my favorite pokemon games of all time.
But even though now that isn't really the case anymore I still have a lot of love for
the Johto region.
I mean there are so many memorable pokemon that its gonna be really hard to narrow down
all of them to a list of just my 5 favorite.
And with the generation 1 video doing so well, how can I not continue the series to give
you guys what I think are the Top 5 Best Generation 2 Pokemon.
Now what I define as a best Pokemon might differ from your definition, but for the sake
of my video, what I take into consideration for these pokemon are their designs, battling
capabilities, and just my sentimental value for them.
And if you guys want to see me talk about my favorite generation 3 video please be sure
to leave a comment down below and I'll get to work on it as soon as possible.
If you guys enjoy the video be sure to leave a like subscribe and share this video with
a friend and with that being said let's get started.
5 To start off this list let's take a look at
not only one of my favorite pokemon in generation 2, but one of my favorite water type pokemon
period, Lanturn.
I say this because honestly I think Lanturn is a very Underrated pokemon.
So underrated that it ended being the number 1 pokemon on my top 10 underrated list.
And this is the case because well, I just dont think lanturn gets the amount of love
and recognition it deserves.
I mean when it comes to a design for a pokemon you can't really get much better than what
lanturn has.
From the electric antenna, the adorable eyes, to even the color pallete all of it is just
perfectly well done.
And I also have to say, its dual typing is one of my favorite in the entire series.
It has all of the factors that make a pokemon, well, a pokemon, so it's honestly kind of
sad to see that it doesn't get as much recognition for this awesome design as other great pokemon
like charizard.
I think what really makes this design so great in my eyes has to be how gamefreak managed
to take an animal like the anglerfish, and make it into something so adorably cute.
I mean seriously, these things can look horrifying.
But the anglerfish might not be the only basis of origin for this pokemon as it is also possible
that Lanturn's origin contains a small piece of the Hellenistic lord, Apollo as he was
the lord of light and his animal was the dolphin which was another animal that was drawn inspiration
from.
See even the design origin is underrated.
But unfortunately though battle wise, there isn't really anything underrated about it.
I mean sure its awesome dual typing gives it a unique set of resistances (show all resistances)
and its HP stat is very nice to have, it still really isn't that good at all.
I mean besides HP all of its other stats are mediocre at best, it could work well in PU,
but thats PU the worst tier in smogon.
Although with its lack of battling prowise in mind I still think lanturn is a great pokemon
to have at least for in game use.
Its design is awesome, its typing is good, and it's got a wide movepool.
What more could you ask?
4 Tyranitar Now from here we're moving from a pokemon
that isn't considered to be good in battle, to a pokemon that is an absolute BEAST in
battle.
I am of course talking about the psuedo legendary pokemon of this region Tyranitar.
Now for starters what can I really say about this thing, it just looks freaking amazing.
From larvitar to tyranitar this entire line was done perfectly.
I mean to go from a pretty cute strong psudeo in dragonite, to this… just dang.
I mean from head to toe this pokemon is done design wise absolutely perfectly.
It embodies what my ideal psudeo legendary pokemon would be.
Strong, Intimidating, and most of all badass.
And while most people may jump to the conclusion that this pokemon is just well a dinosaur,
there's actually a lot more to the story.
Tyranitar also shares strong similarities with the Armadillo girdled lizard, a desert-dwelling
lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales.
More interestingly though Tyranitar also could be based on the popular japanese monster Godzilla
which itself was designed by combining three dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus, Iguanodon and Stegosaurus,
along with a crocodile and an alligator.
Similarly, Mega Tyranitar's shoulder spikes and headpiece could indicate that it is possibly
based on SpaceGodzilla.
Yes that is a real thing, and its awesome.
But enough about the design cause we all know its cool as hell, but what about its battling?
Well I'm glad you asked me uh me… cause whether it's the mega or its regular form
it doesnt really matter beacuse it kicks ass either way.
Tyranitar really has all you need in a great pokemon, Great Stats, awesome movepool, and
a very good ability in sand stream.
The only bad things about this pokemon has to be its speed and dual typing but like ive
stated in the past every pokemon has their flaws.
All in all the only thing bad I can really say about ttar is that it takes so long to
finally get one, but when you finally do, it's well worth the wait.
3 Now when it comes to any gen 2 playthrough
I think the only pokemon I will 100% always pick for my runs has to be the light pokemon
ampharos.
Not because it's good in battle or anything, but because the design like lanturn's is
one of my favorite in the entire series.
But the difference between the 2 and what I find better about ampharos, is that it can
look both adorable and threatening at the exact same time.
The fact that a design can play to multiple emotions can speak volumes on how good this
pokemon is.
Ampharos of course is based on a sheared sheep that its evolutionary line leads up to as
they loose wool with each evolution.
But that's not the entire origin it also shares design tropes with a lighthouse such
as height, stripes, beacons on the top; the 2 even share a name.
(pharos is greek for lighthouse) And battle wise at least for in game use, this thing
was a good asset to the team.
Sure it was slow, but it had a very good special attack and also decent bulk at least on the
special defensive side.
And once X and Y were released this pokemon suddenly became pretty good in competitive
battling too.
With its awesome mega evolution being introduced.
Now most people would be upset to see the added dragon typing but fun fact, Ampharos
during Gold and Silver's development it originally going to be a electric/dragon typing.
So its nice to see something come full circle after all those years.
Now of course since X and Y's release even mega ampharos dropped off a bit but again,
battling isn't the end all be all for a pokemon.
At the end of the day I will always love ampharos no matter what because of all those journey's
I had with it in my playthroughs and because it's so freaking awesome.
2 Starter Pokemon are always a difficult choice
to make, because these guys are the pillar for your pokemon team, so you always have
to choice wisely.
And in this region the three you had to choose from were chikorita, totodile, and cyndaquil
and while I do love me some of that feraligatr ass, typhlosion was always my number 1 go
to.
And to be honest, there really isn't much reasoning as to why, I just like it.
I mean when first looking at all of the baby stages how can you not pick this adorable
thing?
The lack of eyes, cute nose, and the cool fire in the back, gave it a lot of promise
that it was going to evolve into something special.
And even though the changes throughout the line arent that big I still think special
is the perfect word to describe typhlosion.
It's just a very well designed pokemon.
The appearance of this Pokémon is mainly based on the honey badger, but it may also
be reminiscent of weasels and wolverines.
I also really loved to have this pokemon in game because of all the cool moves it had
that I really never saw or remembered at that point.
Eruption, lava plume, flame wheel these were all very cool moves to see.
I will say though gen 6 and onwards really soured my taste on typhlosion.
I mean the decision to only have the flames on its back pop up when it does a move, while
making sense, just really makes the design look basic.
Competitive battle wise it's not that good either and could really do with some form
of help like a mega evolution.
I mean 109 special attack and 100 speed is fine and all but there are way better fire
options out there ( houndoom and delphox) and the movepool just isn't versatile enough
to make it super effective.
But for in game use though, this thing was a monster because really speed and a attack
stat is all you need to be great in game.
In with powerful moves like eruption flamethrower and lava plume on your side where can you
go wrong?
So while I may not have a long rooted history with typhlosion or a complex reasoning as
to why I like it, that doesn't always have to be the case for me to like a pokemon a
lot.
Sometimes it can just be because you think it looks cool.
1 to be honest with you guys I don't really
even want to talk about this pokemon, because I've already done it so many times now that
you pretty much get the point by now.
So to avoid talking about lugia for the 3 time this month now I'm going to be giving
the spotlight to a different pokemon I like.
And this pokemon may surprise you but dang do I love Skarmory.
It's kind of a weird story about this one, because I wasn't actually introduced to
this pokemon in its original generation but rather in the next one to follow up.
With my first game being sapphire, I was lucky enough to run into one just outside of Fallarbor
town.
In addition to that, when I first played Gold and Silver all those years ago I never had
the chance to encounter it as not only does Skarmory not appear in Gold, but it again
only has a 5% encounter rate in Silver.
And as a young kid just trying to rush through and get to the pokemon league as quickly as
possible Skarmory was easily avoidable.
It wasn't until much later with Heartgold and Soulsilver that I had been mistaken this
whole time, which made me much more interested in trying to find one in those games.
ANd I have to say, the hunt for one was certainly worth it, because this thing is so frickin
bad ass.
I love how intimidating it looks in addition to the fact that despite being made of metal,
it's actually light and is able to fly with no issues.
And with many of my favorite pokemon, you know there's some lore behind its design.
Now while the exact bird its based on what could be the andean condor and/or a japanese
crane, the real interesting stuff comes from the greek, russian, and chilean mythology.
The greek Stymphalian (stim-fay-lee-an), which were pets of the lord of the hunt Artemis,
were said to have bronze beaks and metallic feathers that could be thrown at their enemies.
The russian gagana which is said to have an iron beak and copper claws, and finally the
chilean Alicanto, which also has metallic wings, eats gold and silver minerals, and
brings good luck to miners who seem them.
And sure enough, this matches up with Skarmory's regular and shiny color palette.
And the one thing all of these myths have in common are that the are strong birds that
can easily beat you, and that's reciprocated in the games as well, because since its inception,
Skarmory has never left the OU tier.
With having the all powerful steel type in addition to flying, it has very little weaknesses
and many resistances.
It may be slow with pretty average stats overall, but it has super good defense along with a
solid movepool, making it the super bulky and powerful wall that it is.
It also gets sturdy, so that just adds to how difficult this thing can be to face.
So yes, while, technically, Skarmory isn't my true favorite for this generation, I for
sure thing it deserves more attention in credit for being what it is.
A well designed powerful beast that I can't help but love.
