==Hippopotas== | ==Hippopotas== | ||
I think it's a stretch to call Hippopotas and Hippowdon novelty Pokémon, because a) their gender differences being the greatest is extremely subjective (What about Wobbufett? Noticability isn't just about the quantity of variation, but the quality), and b) I don't recall any advertising or marketing calling attention to their differences (Usually they went with more well known Pokémon like Pikachu). --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:41, 20 May 2011 (UTC) | I think it's a stretch to call Hippopotas and Hippowdon novelty Pokémon, because a) their gender differences being the greatest is extremely subjective (What about Wobbufett?

==Some of these Pokémon seem Unfitting== | |||
The description of the page points out that the novelty Pokémon are mainly not very good in battle, have low stats, etc.. Some of the Pokémon that seem useful/unfitting to the supposed requirements that are on here include: | |||
*Arceus - All it says is it has a unique ability (And it says it has the HIGHEST base stat total of any Pokémon, which is practically the opposite of a novelty Pokémon) | |||
*Manaphy/Deoxys/Meloetta/Genesect - Legendary Pokémon aren't useless in battle - they have high bast stat totals. | |||
*Darmanitan - The reason that they are novelty Pokémon just doesn't seem right. It is basically saying they are novelty Pokémon because they have interchangeable forms (which is getting common). | |||
*Cherrim/Castform - They seem novelty for the exact same reason (except Castform has more forms) which makes them less unique. | |||
*Rotom/Basculin - 4 abilities and six forms are more unique than novelty. | |||
It just confuses me that these Pokémon are novelty, and yet Pachirisu and Farfetch'd, two practically useless Pokémon, aren't novelty...
