ITT: Pogeymons we forgot about

Yeah, Ampharos came out in Gold and Silver. One of the better Pokemon in that game. Electric type, pretty damn powerful, and most importantly, it looked awesome (yeah that's right, you douchebags with your next-gen breeding and stat-whoring crap, Pokemon is an extremely easy game and you should always choose the Pokemon that look the coolest, not the ones with the best stats or moves).

QFT. I remember using Ampharos myself when I played Gold/Silver (don't remember which one). Though the stat-whoring and breeding and whatnot is more fore competitive battling, which apparently is very serious business.
