Amoonguss[edit]

Since its inception, Amoonguss has received a mixed response. Many reviewers cited Amoonguss's design as unappealing or ugly,[35] though some considered it to have a "silly" vibe that made its design more endearing.[36] Kotaku's Zack Zwiezen noted how Amoonguss's design was unnerving, citing comparisons to the infection from The Last of Us series.[37] David Caballero of Screen Rant also noted Amoonguss's design was "ugly" and something that fans "can't wait to forget." They also criticized its stoic portrayal in the anime, believing it did not aid with endearing Amoonguss to viewers.[38] Criticism was also directed to its similarity with the Pokemon Voltorb and Electrode, who also disguised themselves as Poke Balls.[39] Amoonguss's ability to disguise itself as a Poke Ball was viewed as nostalgic, but the shift to overworld encounters in Scarlet and Violet received criticism, as it was noted that it was now easy to distinguish and did not carry surprise value to encounter anymore.[40] In 2019, an internet meme involving Amoonguss's similarities in design to various aspects from the video game Among Us was stated to have a caused a resurgence in Amoonguss's popularity.[41]

Amoonguss has been noted for its strong viability in competitive battling since its debut.[42][43] Its strong supportive qualities- such as the ability to redirect attacks, put opponents to sleep, and overall longevity- have resulted in players using it to a significantly high degree. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's competitive scene, its presence was noted as overwhelming for players, to the point where players would inflict negative status conditions on their own Pokémon to prevent Amoonguss from putting them to sleep.[44][45] In a competitive Pokémon competition tournament held in Orlando, Florida, player Wolfe Glick's Amoonguss was the last Pokémon left on Glick's team and dealt the final blow to his opponent, Neil Patel. Transphobic comments from Patel later surfaced after the battle, resulting in the competitive community labelling Amoonguss as a transgender rights icon. The battle was stated to have greatly increased the adoration towards Amoonguss in the community,[46] with a large number of fanworks being made. Following this, a large outpouring of support for transgender players increased.[47]

Hypno[edit]

Since its inception, Hypno has been regarded for its dark backstory, primarily its child-abducting tendencies.[48] Its humanoid design has been cited as creepy, and a reason why its design was considered unappealing.[49] Hypno's child abducting tendencies resulted in a popular Creepypasta, dubbed "Hypno's Lullaby" being created, which centered around a song focusing on Hypno as a child thief.[49] Hypno became the focus of several creepypastas, such as popular ROM Hacks.[50][51][52]

Magnemite[edit]

Appearances section: [54] (Small bits but not much)

Short bit to add later [55]

Minor bit on hair ornaments [56]

A Magnemite plush was released with Magnemite's magnets upside-down. This prompted an apology from The Pokémon Company.[57] Magnemite, alongside Magneton, appeared on a PokeFuta manhole cover in the Osaka Prefecture.[58]

James Stephanie Sterling of Destructoid criticized Magnemite's design, citing that its inorganic appearance acted as a precursor for later designs while also appearing highly unnatural in comparison to the rest of the series' cast.[59] Other writers agreed,[60] with its design similarity highlighted as lazy or simple.[61][62]
