MandJTV Pokevids I would've liked the video more if you had more rip offs from other gens. It seemed kinda genwunnish and as someone who doesn't like genwunners you can see why

At least Morpeko has an interesting gimmick. Otherwise it’s a clone. It also joins Dedenne in not having ground immunity since it only has Hunger Switch ability.
Kyruem and Necrozma They both have 2 games centered around them(Black2/White2, UltraSun/UltraMoon) Both can fuse with the box legendaries of the previous games
I consider Metagross a spiritual rip-off of Tyranitar. Both are post-Elite Four pseudo-legendaries that have one defensive/earth-based physical type and one offensive/magical special type. The only thing stopping them from being actual rip-offs is that they serve more as counterparts (with both having a type that is super-effective and a type that is weak to the other).
...what have you been taking? The only similarities with Tyranitar and Metagross are these are only non-Dragon pseudos (but Tyranitar is kinda dragon-like and learns quite some Dragon-type moves), which are bulky, mostly-psyhical attackers. And that's all.

If people would just step back a minute an re-think what Unova tried and accomplished to do! Unova is the very main-series region that is not based on Japan. It's literally based on a whole new continent even! It just makes SENSE for there to be only new, never before seen species Pokémon. Tauros and Buffalont are perfect examples of why it's even natural, that there are similar yet different species. Buffalos are naturally only found in america. Yet, there are other species of ox found around the world, hence Tauros. And that is just one example. Heck, a lot of the Unova Pokémon look way more interesting and likeable than their "counterparts". Golem looks lame, while Gigalith is one of the coolest Pokémon to be ever created. Amoongus, while not the most appealing design, is at least more creative than a literal Pokéball with a face on it. Do you guys travel to other continents and fully expect to find the same species of flora and fauna there like you do at home? In all honesty, if Gamefreak ever decides to base a region on Australia, it better be another Unova-scenario! ... Although, I guess they already created some Pokémon based on australian wildlife, so I guess that idea is out of the window.
Love your vids! However, I think including Gen 5 was sorta lazy and unjustified. You admitted this generation was a soft-reboot of the franchise. As such, I believe this generation included these "rip offs" as homages so the player didn't feel completely alienated by all the new mons. I think many people appreciated the familiar faces!
Unfortunately many people didnt appreciate it Hence the lowest sales in their history That said they do this in every game Gen 5 wasnt as much of a soft reboot as people think More than 90% of that dex is nothing like the rest I think Gen 5 was meant to be their magnum opus They were giving you a fresh start with sprinkled in familiar faces A more balanced region and went the extra mile with musical score and amount of things to do and story Going so far creating to this day still the only true sequels Theres so much more to consider for this theory as well that it becomes pretty undeniable (this doesn't mean they didnt make mistakes) And it bombed so they retreated and started from where they earned the most Their safe ideas
@@lillith7257 I don't know... I was able to make connections to about half the roster in Gen 5 compared to Gen 1. If you wanted to specific list I could give it to you.
Finally! Someone said it! While watching that part, I'm thinking, "Okay, MAYBE Feebas is a rip off, but when I look at Milotic vs Gyarados, I see Beauty vs Power."
I feel like milotic is not really a rip off of gyrados but instead more of a parallel. Magikarp is the weak fish that gets powerful, and febass is the ugly fish that turns beautiful. They have similar gimmicks, but I feel like they were created to be two sides of a coin, like rivals or foils, and not rip offs. Still a great vid though!
Heh. What a nerd. Don’t take that seriously. Because I’m a nerd too. I took the time to write down the type matchup chart. The nature table. And as I am typing this, I’m writing down all the abilities and what they do.
5 is actually one of my favorite generations because of the vast number of new designs. It felt way more like playing Pokemon for the first time again then any of the other games because every single encounter was something I'd never seen before.
“Just because the Pokémon fill the same role doesn’t mean they’re a rip off, they also need to have a similar design.” Proceeds to base his list entirely on the Pokémon’s roles and nothing to do with the designs.
Problem there is that Gothita and Ralts have different design concepts, and Gothita is a version exclusive while Ralts is not and also has a split evolution, with Gothita's counterpart being the Solosis line. As for whoever said Solosis is a clone of Alakazam, that can't be the case when 1. Alakazam is a trade evolution, whereas Reuniclus is a level up evolution. 2. Alakazam's counterpart I would consider to be Gengar, which Gothita doesn't resemble in the slightest. They may seen like clones, but that is more than likely purely coincidental.
i actually just recently learned to appreciate the roggenrola line a lot more than even geodude because it's pure rock instead of rock/ground, meaning it has no 4x weaknesses
@24Devin Meis Just because two Pokémon have the same typing doesn’t automatically make it a rip-off. Look at Foongus and Amoongus versus Voltorb and Electrode! The thing that I think makes Gigalith’s line not a rip-off of Metagross’s line is that Metagross’s line is a pseudo-legendary line while Gigalith’s is not, and that more importantly, they aren’t based off of remotely similar concepts. Metagross is all about metal... golem... thingies, while Gigalith’s is about a living geode.
Smalls Hardly opposites. Though the martial styles are different they do have similar moves. Boxing is half of kick boxing. Judo and karate share some throws and takedowns if Im not mistaken.
okay Unova obviously had its fair share but I think Hoenn got left under the radar with its ripoffs from Kanto * Grimer & Muk to Swalot and gulpin * Magikarp and Gyarados to Feebas and Milotik * Seel and Dewgong to the Spheal/walrein line * Meowth and Persian to Skitty and Delcatty * Ekans and Arbor to Serviper * Krabby and Kingler to Corphsh and Crawdaunt * shelder to clampearl * butterfree to beatuifly * behemoth to dustox * Paras line to shroomish and Breloom (not to much visually but similar) * Abra line to Raltz line (bit of a stretch but both are found early and are very strong later on) * Machop line to Haryama Line (bit of a stretch) * Drowse and hypno to Spoink and grumpig (bit of a stretch but both psychic pigs) might be a few more I know a few are stretch, but think there was quite a few
It's not the fighting styles of these pokemon which makes them rip offs all four are pure fighting type martial artists and boxing and kick boxing are martial arts.
Sawk and Throh could've been Female dominant as opposed to Male Dominant like Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, and there could have been secondary types for them both (like Metal and/or Ground). Also, their colors could've been altered so they didn't have to look like a pair of Pokémon that belong together (Blue and Red always go together). GameFreak just isn't that creative.
The ‘Cats’ lines: Meowth line, the Glameow line, and the Purrloin line. The ‘Extra Birds’: Spearow line, Rufflet line and Ducklett line. Oh, and the Jellyfish lines, but won’t go into those.
Actually, Milotic and Gyarados also share the same base stats, but in different stats. Milotic has it's stats as 95 | 60 | 79 | 100 | 125 | 81 Gyarados has it' stats as 95 | 125 | 79 | 60 | 100 | 81
Uh, yeah? Base Stat Total doesn't mean it has the same stats but redistributed. All the Sudo-Legendaries have 600 Base Stat Total but they have diferent base stats.
Feebas is definetely a ripoff of Magikarp. But I would actually say Milotic is a parallel to Gyarados, being beautiful instead of ferocious and ugly and peaceful and intelligent rather than violent and instinctful
@@nattyegdelp9663 Bruxish and Carvanha are both fish but look different so people don't complain. Bouffalant's similarities with Tauros is just bullshit and they aren't the same animal. Same animal base, same type, same appearance, very similar moveset, almost same artwork, same colour scheme...
Pikachu clone is a recurring humor that the creators love to play... At the same time... The regional birds is another.. Every region the same normal flying HM slave and since Pidgeot line came first.. Aren't they all in a way rip offs?... However... TALONFLAME BREAKS THE STEREOTYPE!!.. (we all love talonflame for that)
Ok so if this “Hitmonlee” guy doesn’t wear clothes in public, he’s just a silly ol’ goose. But when I don’t wear clothes in public it’s considered “illegal” or something like that. Hate all the body shaming in 2017.
It's kind of a fun game I like to play with Gen V: 1. The mythical pokemon that came at the beginning this time. 2. The Grass Starter 3. The Fire Starter 4. The Water Starter 5. The regional critters 6. Dogs 7. Cats 8. The stupid monkeys 9. The Drowzee line ripoffs 10. The regional birds 11. The Ponyta line ripoffs 12. The Geodude line ripoffs 13. The Zubat line ripoffs 14. The Diglett line ripoffs 15. The Chansey ripoff 16. The Machop line ripoffs 17. The Poliwag line ripoffs 18. The Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan ripoffs 19. The nice regional bugs 20. The not-nice regional bugs 21-on: Oh, hi, creativity!
I think Munna and Musharna are rip-offs of Drowzee and Hypno, since they both are based on the Baku , are psychic Types and have something to do with sleeping and dreaming.
not exactly, because theres 1 main difference between those pairs, which is, evolution method, like the Drowzee line evolves by Lv up, while the Munna line evolves with the Moon stone.
courage1 well I guess u can argue that but does chansey and Audino even have similar evolution lines? No chantey has 3 and Audino has 0 and a mega, yet everyone knows Audino is a rip-off of chansey. And not every pokemon on his list had same evolution methods either. I would have to agree that Munna is a rip-off (even tho it was hinted back all the way at gen 1)
I personally hope we DO keep getting Pikachu clones! I want to see how many they can make that are still cool! I also want there to be a trainer that has six pokemon that are ALL Pikachu clones (Like Togedemaru, Dedenne, Pachirisu, Mimikyu, Emolga, and maybe either Pichu or Plusle and Minun) bonus points if their pre/post battle dialogue talks about an older sibling they are trying to emulate and then you come across a trainer who uses a Pikachu (the big sibling should be an Ace Trainer or something similar, the younger should be like....a youngster/lass)
It fits all the criteria except being an electric type. Small, resembles Pikachu, cute...and if you count Marril as a pikaclone, then being electric doesn't matter. I count it with the pikaclones
@Rockin Have you used Togedemaru. Its pretty decent actually, the only downside is his huge Ground weakness, but it can make up for that by learning Magnet Rise by lvl up or to build a team around it. Its a pain Togedemaru can't learn any Steel moves by lvl up either and can only learn Gyro Ball via TM, but the use of Move Tutors has made it so it can use Iron Tail and Iron Head and we also have to consider the possibility that it can change movesets in later generation, as has been done by other Pokemon before (Like Snorlax being able to learn High Horsepower in gen 7, despite not being a horse, thus that it can learn the move makes no sense)
Zebstrika and Rapidash? Similar height and base stat total. Even their pokedex entries are a bit similar (being high-speed horses that release electricity/fire from their manes). They can even learn the other type's STAB physical attack move (flame charge/wild charge).
Foxy Raccoon Your opinion isn't fact. Even if you don't think that they're even close to being improvements, there are some people that love these Pokemon.
Foxy Raccoon I like ALL of the newer versions as gen 1 was literally, oh look and object...lets add a face and put it in the game, caterpie is probably the least imaginative Pokemon and guess what IT'S GEN 1
Zoroark Ditto. I wouldn't call it ripoff, to me I see it as a something like a close relative which explains why they're similar I mean would you call a Siberian Tiger a ripoff of a Bengal Tiger?
The Pika-clones might all share a common ancestor and as time went on, actual evolution happened due to where they were and they became what they are but kept similarities to the original, like the cheek pouches and electric typing.
This video made me realize that a lot of these rip-offs, particularly the ones with the same or similar stats, are an intentional thing Game Freak does to simplify the process of balancing new games. Imagine how difficult it would be to have to start from scratch on each of the hundreds of Pokémon in every region! Instead, they can just carry over the already balanced system from the earlier games, with a few minor changes here and there to account for new mechanics, types, etc. It actually makes a lot of sense, but I’ve never thought about it before now!
1) Sawk and Throh. 2) Hitmontop is a different Pokémon than Hitmonchan, because it’s literally more balanced than Hitmonchan. And Hitmonlee, for that matter.
All of the Gen 5 Pokemon listed here (with the exception of Alomomola) are homages to Gen 1 because Gen 5 was a callback to Gen 1 as it was the Gen that introduced the most Pokemon since gen 1. That's why you're calling all of these Pokemon "ripoffs." It's because the concepts and designs being so similar to Gen 1 are ON PURPOSE. Gamefreak made a conscious choice to make these designs so similar. That's why the Pidove and Pidgey line are similar. That's why the Patrat and Rattata line are similar. These aren't coincidences or Gamefreak being lazy, they're making creative decisions by making callbacks to the previous games. This is because Gen 1 was the Gen that established everything as it was THE VERY FIRST GEN. Therefore the very first of its kind, and so it won't be perfect. With every generation came improvements to the game mechanics, and a set of Pokemon similar to Gen 1 because Gen 1 established a formula that Gamefreak could follow when making each new game. These Pokemon listed here are not ripoffs. These Pokemon are just all similar in concept and/or design because Gamefreak made a conscious choice to do that and it just seems that you're not capable of picking up patterns. I would also like to add that you should also consider doing research on the games if you're going to be making content based around them.
What if one day they make a new fish in a new region that actually in the middle evolution of luvdisc and alomomola. The Pokédex entry mention how luvdisc travel to certain area that unique to that region (that specific way also the only way to evolves your luvdisc), evolves into that Pokémon, then it moves to the Unova or something like that (similar to how salmon travel to and from the ocean). That one will explain why they look similar, but not in the same line

If people would just step back a minute an re-think what Unova tried and accomplished to do!
Unova is the very main-series region that is not based on Japan. It's literally based on a whole new continent even!
It just makes SENSE for there to be only new, never before seen species Pokémon.
Tauros and Buffalont are perfect examples of why it's even natural, that there are similar yet different species. Buffalos are naturally only found in america. Yet, there are other species of ox found around the world, hence Tauros.
And that is just one example.
Heck, a lot of the Unova Pokémon look way more interesting and likeable than their "counterparts". Golem looks lame, while Gigalith is one of the coolest Pokémon to be ever created.
Amoongus, while not the most appealing design, is at least more creative than a literal Pokéball with a face on it.

ok?

Michael forget Pikablu A.K.A Maril
Laura Keituri yeah but Marill looks like Pikachu but isn’t really an electric rodent.
Love your vids! However, I think including Gen 5 was sorta lazy and unjustified. You admitted this generation was a soft-reboot of the franchise. As such, I believe this generation included these "rip offs" as homages so the player didn't feel completely alienated by all the new mons. I think many people appreciated the familiar faces!
Unfortunately many people didnt appreciate it
Hence the lowest sales in their history
That said they do this in every game
Gen 5 wasnt as much of a soft reboot as people think
More than 90% of that dex is nothing like the rest
I think Gen 5 was meant to be their magnum opus
They were giving you a fresh start with sprinkled in familiar faces
A more balanced region and went the extra mile with musical score and amount of things to do and story
Going so far creating to this day still the only true sequels
Theres so much more to consider for this theory as well that it becomes pretty undeniable (this doesn't mean they didnt make mistakes)
And it bombed so they retreated and started from where they earned the most
Their safe ideas

Why didn’t unova just use the originals

New title: Gen Five Pokemon That Are Rip Offs
CHEAP Rip off too
One of the many reasons why gen5 is the worst
m8, Gen 5 is one of, if not the, best gen so far.
Gen 5 still has awesome Pokémon,fucking genwunner
That's why I never loved the pokemons from gen 5
I'd say feebas and milotic are more of counterparts rather than ripoffs
The shiny Delphox me too
Finally! Someone said it! While watching that part, I'm thinking, "Okay, MAYBE Feebas is a rip off, but when I look at Milotic vs Gyarados, I see Beauty vs Power."
Same
Gyarados looks more masculine while milotic looks more feminine
Weak to Strong
Ugly to Beautiful
I like it
I feel like milotic is not really a rip off of gyrados but instead more of a parallel. Magikarp is the weak fish that gets powerful, and febass is the ugly fish that turns beautiful. They have similar gimmicks, but I feel like they were created to be two sides of a coin, like rivals or foils, and not rip offs. Still a great vid though!
Kevin 1327 (:
1000000%!
Ducklett and Swanna are more like ripoffs feebas and milotic. The ugly duckling becoming a beautiful swan. It was more creativelly done with feebas
Heh. What a nerd.
Don’t take that seriously. Because I’m a nerd too. I took the time to write down the type matchup chart. The nature table. And as I am typing this, I’m writing down all the abilities and what they do.
To be fair, most of these are simply parallels and throw-backs to Gen 1. He just means they're rip-offs in terms of their place in the game.
I actually think it make sense if luvdisc evolve into gorebyss
*_Isn't ditto a ripoff of everything???_*

No everything is a rip-off of Ditto

5 is actually one of my favorite generations because of the vast number of new designs. It felt way more like playing Pokemon for the first time again then any of the other games because every single encounter was something I'd never seen before.
I like how gen 5 is a recreation of gen 1.
@Gaming YT well ok....
But better
Gen 1 honestly sucks, people only like it for nostalgia
@@Mattahewu very true
The rip offs suck,but for the most part gen five is better
“Just because the Pokémon fill the same role doesn’t mean they’re a rip off, they also need to have a similar design.” Proceeds to base his list entirely on the Pokémon’s roles and nothing to do with the designs.

Yes. Yes it is.

No its not a ripoff because its well OKAY it isint a ripoff but um i think you get the point
Deathslay123 OK if u think so😏😏😏
For pikachu clones azumaril’s line would count IMO especially when people called it pikablue at first leak
What about the Gothita evolution line. It's almost the same as the Ralts evolution line
Yeah, but its done to parralel reniculous, who I think is a clone of alakazam
Problem there is that Gothita and Ralts have different design concepts, and Gothita is a version exclusive while Ralts is not and also has a split evolution, with Gothita's counterpart being the Solosis line. As for whoever said Solosis is a clone of Alakazam, that can't be the case when
1. Alakazam is a trade evolution, whereas Reuniclus is a level up evolution.
2. Alakazam's counterpart I would consider to be Gengar, which Gothita doesn't resemble in the slightest.
They may seen like clones, but that is more than likely purely coincidental.
you mean there both kinda humanoid psychic types and thats it
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Yea ur correct
i actually thought that bouffalent was the evolved form of taurus.(taurus is alot cooler that bouffalent)
It's almost like Gen 5 was a reset meant to "rip off" or reinvent the archetypes. Milotic is a counterpart to Gyarados, not a rip off.
Rip-off is maybe too negative of a word, but regardless of the connotation, the fact is that some Pokémon are highly similar to previous ones.
i actually just recently learned to appreciate the roggenrola line a lot more than even geodude because it's pure rock instead of rock/ground, meaning it has no 4x weaknesses
For me, the Gigalith evolution line reminds me of the Metagross evolution line. Just me?
Same
Me too
Kinda
@24Devin Meis Just because two Pokémon have the same typing doesn’t automatically make it a rip-off. Look at Foongus and Amoongus versus Voltorb and Electrode! The thing that I think makes Gigalith’s line not a rip-off of Metagross’s line is that Metagross’s line is a pseudo-legendary line while Gigalith’s is not, and that more importantly, they aren’t based off of remotely similar concepts. Metagross is all about metal... golem... thingies, while Gigalith’s is about a living geode.
@@Error-gz3pp Agree!
I like Milotic more then Gyarados, and after watching Mavis a lot, Milotic has become one of my favorites.

Ok sawk is based off karate throh is based off judo while hitmonlee is based off kick boxing and hitmonchan is based off boxing.
I just made this same argument lol
Arg so true! I am a martial arts enthusiast so you can imagine I got mad at this
Smalls Hardly opposites. Though the martial styles are different they do have similar moves. Boxing is half of kick boxing. Judo and karate share some throws and takedowns if Im not mistaken.
However there is a pattern with the last two of your points. But does that qualify as a rip off?
Smalls
okay Unova obviously had its fair share but I think Hoenn got left under the radar with its ripoffs from Kanto
* Grimer & Muk to Swalot and gulpin
* Magikarp and Gyarados to Feebas and Milotik
* Seel and Dewgong to the Spheal/walrein line
* Meowth and Persian to Skitty and Delcatty
* Ekans and Arbor to Serviper
* Krabby and Kingler to Corphsh and Crawdaunt
* shelder to clampearl
* butterfree to beatuifly
* behemoth to dustox
* Paras line to shroomish and Breloom (not to much visually but similar)
* Abra line to Raltz line (bit of a stretch but both are found early and are very strong later on)
* Machop line to Haryama Line (bit of a stretch)
* Drowse and hypno to Spoink and grumpig (bit of a stretch but both psychic pigs)
might be a few more I know a few are stretch, but think there was quite a few
Mimikyu: *_Hello darkness my old friend_*
You can say the same for Darkrai he so lonely like hell
Hello Dio Brando how is your son Giorno Giovanna
Sawk and throh are martial arts pokemon not boxing pokemon (karate, judo) (boxing,kick boxing)
I think you don't know that, boxing counts as a martial arts, same with kick boxing.
@@Ziglle Boxing and Karate are different forms of martial arts. One is a more vigorous and intense and the other is more graceful.
It's not the fighting styles of these pokemon which makes them rip offs all four are pure fighting type martial artists and boxing and kick boxing are martial arts.
Sawk and Throh could've been Female dominant as opposed to Male Dominant like Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, and there could have been secondary types for them both (like Metal and/or Ground). Also, their colors could've been altered so they didn't have to look like a pair of Pokémon that belong together (Blue and Red always go together).
GameFreak just isn't that creative.
The ‘Cats’ lines: Meowth line, the Glameow line, and the Purrloin line.
The ‘Extra Birds’: Spearow line, Rufflet line and Ducklett line.

Wow
I ship Milotic and Gyarados
I really don't, I'm not that weird ..
At least, I don't think I am
Feebas is definetely a ripoff of Magikarp. But I would actually say Milotic is a parallel to Gyarados, being beautiful instead of ferocious and ugly and peaceful and intelligent rather than violent and instinctful
Yelloworb Well said
Yelloworb agreed
Yelloworb fantastic explanation
There was an episode of the anime that had a person who had a strong magikarp and a beautiful feebas. So basically they are just parallel overall
Not to mention that the fact that Milotic is much more defense oriented whereas Gyrados is much more offensive

I think Munna and Musharna are rip-offs of Drowzee and Hypno, since they both are based on the Baku , are psychic Types and have something to do with sleeping and dreaming.
Blazing Ho-oh Scorojan well quite right but to be honest there are alot of rip-offs and this was just top 10 of em
not exactly, because theres 1 main difference between those pairs, which is, evolution method, like the Drowzee line evolves by Lv up, while the Munna line evolves with the Moon stone.
It's possibly the other way around...
courage1 well I guess u can argue that but does chansey and Audino even have similar evolution lines? No chantey has 3 and Audino has 0 and a mega, yet everyone knows Audino is a rip-off of chansey. And not every pokemon on his list had same evolution methods either. I would have to agree that Munna is a rip-off (even tho it was hinted back all the way at gen 1)
Mecha Mega Metagross Also Audino can also be male, unlike Chansey, who will always be female.
I personally hope we DO keep getting Pikachu clones! I want to see how many they can make that are still cool! I also want there to be a trainer that has six pokemon that are ALL Pikachu clones (Like Togedemaru, Dedenne, Pachirisu, Mimikyu, Emolga, and maybe either Pichu or Plusle and Minun) bonus points if their pre/post battle dialogue talks about an older sibling they are trying to emulate and then you come across a trainer who uses a Pikachu (the big sibling should be an Ace Trainer or something similar, the younger should be like....a youngster/lass)
jenna bartley Mimikyu isn't a Pika Clone.
Mimikyu isn't a PikaClone, but it's a joke on tge concept. yes, I do want to see a Mimikyu on a PikaClone team
I'd like to see where they go with Pikachu clones, they've been getting better and better with Emolga, Dedennae, and Togedemaru.
It fits all the criteria except being an electric type. Small, resembles Pikachu, cute...and if you count Marril as a pikaclone, then being electric doesn't matter. I count it with the pikaclones
@Rockin
Have you used Togedemaru. Its pretty decent actually, the only downside is his huge Ground weakness, but it can make up for that by learning Magnet Rise by lvl up or to build a team around it. Its a pain Togedemaru can't learn any Steel moves by lvl up either and can only learn Gyro Ball via TM, but the use of Move Tutors has made it so it can use Iron Tail and Iron Head and we also have to consider the possibility that it can change movesets in later generation, as has been done by other Pokemon before (Like Snorlax being able to learn High Horsepower in gen 7, despite not being a horse, thus that it can learn the move makes no sense)
Everytime i was thinking that Bouffalant was the evolution of tauros...
immediately thought of genwunners.

Now that SwSh are out, I'm definitely getting some Gigalith vibes from Coalasol (sorry in advance cause I for sure spelled that wrong)

Mega Buizel EX They didn't come close to improving them.
Foxy Raccoon Your opinion isn't fact. Even if you don't think that they're even close to being improvements, there are some people that love these Pokemon.

Besides sawk and throh I liked most of the rip-offs (though not as much as the old ones)
@@MrSexyRac00n Yes they did. A lots of them are better or equal to Gen 1, some weaker.

You mean rats or ralts ?
think they meant ralts
HuyTDK they meant ralts, it say rat instead of ralts cos of auto correct
Zoroark Ditto i agree
The Pika-clones might all share a common ancestor and as time went on, actual evolution happened due to where they were and they became what they are but kept similarities to the original, like the cheek pouches and electric typing.
Pla confirmed this
This list could just be filled with all the pikachu clones
This video made me realize that a lot of these rip-offs, particularly the ones with the same or similar stats, are an intentional thing Game Freak does to simplify the process of balancing new games. Imagine how difficult it would be to have to start from scratch on each of the hundreds of Pokémon in every region! Instead, they can just carry over the already balanced system from the earlier games, with a few minor changes here and there to account for new mechanics, types, etc. It actually makes a lot of sense, but I’ve never thought about it before now!
Michael: SOCK AND THROW ARE RIP-OFFS OF HITMOMCHAN!
Hitmontop: AM I A JOKE TO YOU!?
Ah Yes... Socks and throw
1) Sawk and Throh.
2) Hitmontop is a different Pokémon than Hitmonchan, because it’s literally more balanced than Hitmonchan. And Hitmonlee, for that matter.

Hitmonchan and hitmonlee at home: sawk throh and hitmontop
You fucked all three of those names up.
they are in the same evolution line dude
All of the Gen 5 Pokemon listed here (with the exception of Alomomola) are homages to Gen 1 because Gen 5 was a callback to Gen 1 as it was the Gen that introduced the most Pokemon since gen 1. That's why you're calling all of these Pokemon "ripoffs." It's because the concepts and designs being so similar to Gen 1 are ON PURPOSE. Gamefreak made a conscious choice to make these designs so similar. That's why the Pidove and Pidgey line are similar. That's why the Patrat and Rattata line are similar. These aren't coincidences or Gamefreak being lazy, they're making creative decisions by making callbacks to the previous games. This is because Gen 1 was the Gen that established everything as it was THE VERY FIRST GEN. Therefore the very first of its kind, and so it won't be perfect. With every generation came improvements to the game mechanics, and a set of Pokemon similar to Gen 1 because Gen 1 established a formula that Gamefreak could follow when making each new game. These Pokemon listed here are not ripoffs. These Pokemon are just all similar in concept and/or design because Gamefreak made a conscious choice to do that and it just seems that you're not capable of picking up patterns.
I would also like to add that you should also consider doing research on the games if you're going to be making content based around them.
Ripoff means in essence a copy of another thing. It does not mean the person copying was being lazy
When I was little I thought the three legendary birds in gen 1 Kanto were evolutions of each other lol
What if one day they make a new fish in a new region that actually in the middle evolution of luvdisc and alomomola. The Pokédex entry mention how luvdisc travel to certain area that unique to that region (that specific way also the only way to evolves your luvdisc), evolves into that Pokémon, then it moves to the Unova or something like that (similar to how salmon travel to and from the ocean).
That one will explain why they look similar, but not in the same line
Most of the time pokemon doesn’t make sense
Also i love dedene HE’S A FRICKIN BALL OF FAIRY DUST AND ELECTRICITY
I also do
I like Minecraft
Dedenne is supposed to be based on a Fairy of Teeths. That's why it's a Fairy type.
