PvZ2:Pokemon

How:

Most of the time, the older ones are left to be rarely used, or can't even compete. The ones that aren't forgotten are either made way more useful, used by noobs, or used in very few situations.

The newer ones are either disappointing or fighting against the older ones for usage.

Bowling Bulb:Haxorous

We all thought it was going to be OP or it was initially OP. But, after being changed so many freaking times, it is pitiful, not even kills  Gargs with PF now. Two thumbs down. 👎👎

Homing Thistle: Volcarona

The 'Cattail-Copier'. We all expected Cattail originally………but it got taken out. Instead, it got replaced by my favorite cactus-LIKE plant. A lot, not all, dissed this plant. We wanted Cattail, not this piece of X-Shot. It took a while for use to get used to, but some of us like it now. While some beg to differ, it seems decent, though it needs to target the closest zombie to itself, IMO. Just wished though that it could do extra damage to Fishermen Zombie, as others suggested. I just don't understand how thorns can be reflected by Jesters. According to Smogon, the majority didn't think that Volcarona would be good, ESPECIALLY due to its typing. It means that it is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, which basically means that Volcarona will lose 50% health upon entry of field. But, because of ONE freaking move, it is deemed 'good' by some.

Spring-Blover: Azumarill

They weren't really good in the places they were introduced. They had some good qualities however. With the introduction of Fairy Types in VI, however, it is in the 'OU'/Uber', Over used, Uber, tier. Just like Azumarill, the Spring-Blover became deemed good after a certain time has passed (FF update). Also, the best movesets for Azumarill is considered 'illegal' and Sprin-Blover is 'illegal' in the EZ Zones of PoD&TT-er, unless you used the patched zZen Garden glitch, emphasis on PATCHED.

I'm all out of analogies. Also, my sources (that is a little out if date):  http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue14/surprises I find it funny because a ton of the older pokemon could easily compete and still can.
