Pokémon is in a weird spot in my eyes.

They have like 1000 Pokémon that I do not care about at all.

But some people feel that way about a different set of 1000.

They have too many Pokémon and I think there are some that we can all agree are just garbage. Looking at you, garbador.

I love the original 151 as it’s what I grew up with, but I honestly think they should consider doing a hard reset and relaunching the series with significant changes to mechanics and wipe the slate.

Garbador has fans. Check Bogleech and the comments on his article for Trubbish and Garbador

Burmy, the original rubbish Pokémon.

Every pokemon is someone's favorite. Even the one that's literal garbage.
