History YMMV / CreateAPokemon

** CAP 28 Miasmaw also suffered from a contentious typing process, with Bug/Dragon being the ultimate winner. Those in favor of it found the typing to be unique and to have an interesting place in the metagame, while those against it believed that the typing would cause Miasmaw to perform poorly due to being mediocre both offensively and defensively, and accused those in favor of Bug/Dragon of [[SkewedPriorities prioritizing flavor potential over competitive play]]. Following Miasmaw's floundering in the post-Crown Tundra metagame (which released a mere ''four days'' after Miasmaw was made available), a lot more people than usual called for Miasmaw's [[{{Retcon}} type to be changed]] during its buff process, an act that is considered a last resort by many.

* BrokenBase: Create-A-Pokémon 11 suffered from this, with huge arguments stemming from the typing discussions.

** Mollux is also popular due to its absolutely adorable design and unique concept, being a lava lamp cone snail (the latter of which is rarely seen in fiction period).

* FanNickname: "Snapple", a tongue-in-cheek potential name for Malaconda, being a portmanteau of "snake" and "apple", as well as the name of a tea and juice company.

* SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer: CAP ASB was created by longtime member Deck Knight to help keep the CAP forum's blood flowing. When it was finished and gained its own subforum, it became VERY popular.
** It has now been moved to Circus Maximus, the forum games section of Smogon.

* StopHavingFunGuys: While flavor is encouraged during the CAP process, [[DownplayedTrope this trope is enforced]] to give CAP Pokémon competitive basis. However, this does cause oddities between a Pokémon’s stats, moves, and appearance.

** Rebound was a custom ability Colossoil had that reflected status moves back at the user on the turn Colossoil switches in, most people agreeing that having it work on every turn would be broken. Then Generation 5 introduced Magic Bounce which functions like Rebound, except it works every turn the Pokemon is out.

** Likewise, a Fighting / Flying type that's {{Mayincatec}} in design and based on Aztec eagle warriors; are we talking about Tomohawk here, or Hawlucha which came the next generation?

** In the Gold and Silver Beta leaked in 2018, the Pokemon Kurstraw bears a strong resemblance to Voodoll and Voodoom, although its evolution is completely different.

Then Generation 5 introduced Magic Bounce which functions like Rebound, except it works every turn the Pokemoon is out.

** Rebound was a custom ability Colossoil had that reflected status moves back at the user on the turn Colossoil switches in, most people agreeing that having it work on every turn would be broken. Then Generation 5 introduced Magic Bounce which functions like Rebound, except it works only once every turn.

** Create-A-Pokémon was originally a one-off idea that was just speculative, but its implementation on a battle server caused it to continue and eventually gain its own forum. Within Smogon, CAP has a one-off metagame that includes OU (the most popular tier) pokemon with CAP pokemon.

** Rebound was a custom ability Colossoil had that reflected status moves back at the user on the turn Colossoil switches in, most people agreeing that having it work on every turn would be broken. Then Generation 5 introduced Magic Bounce which function like Rebound, except it works only once every turn.

** The Necturine line bears great similarity to the Pumpkaboo line, not only in typing but also in design. Necturine is designed after a Leichi berry and has the same body shape, leaf 'tuft', and extra 'eyes' as Pumpkaboo. Necturna looks more like a feminine humanoid with long arms and a torso with 'eyes' and a 'mouth', like Gourgeist.

** Likewise with the Mayintec inspired design and Fighting/Flying typing Tomohawk is similar to the real Pokemon Hawlucha in body build and design.

** Rebound was a custom ability Colossoil had that reflected status moves back at the user on the turn Colossoil switches in, most people agreeing that having it work on every turn would be broken. Come Generation 5, and we have a official ability in Magic Bounce that does the exact same thing - but on every turn, but doesn't effect status inflicting moves like Will-O-Wisp and Toxic.

* FanDumb: Poorly made "flavor" arguments are made in just about every Create-A-Pokémon Movepool thread.
* HateDumb: The ability stage for Mollux was filled with vitriol on both sides on whether it should receive Drought or not, as it either helped satisfy the original concept or would overshadow Ninetales as a weather inducer.
