Personally, mine is joint first between Sandshrew (the cutest), Espurr (most relatable), and Gastrodon.

After those, in no particular order, I like Turtwig (best starter, fight me), the Roggenrola line (little rock guys), the Litwick line (candles and lamps with nefarious intentions), and Metagross (cool robot thing).

Kyogre is the best legendary in my opinion

    My favorites are Torchic and Blaziken. Pokemon Saphire was one of the first video games I ever purchased, and he stuck with me through a lot.

    I hate how TPC has repeatedly done the evo line dirty by overriding them with multiple fire/fighting type starters with higher stats

    From the first game boy games I rolled a lot with Charichard and Nidoking, then did not play untill like a few years back and ran into Grimmsnarl and that is my favourite of the new ones.

    Scizor! It’s annoying have a trade mon as your favorite. A lot of the games don’t give you a metal coat until late game too. What can you do

    In Red/Blue I liked Abra>Kadabra>Alakazam and Gengar.

    As for cuteness, I can’t say no to Jigglypuff.

    Listen, friend, I was an adult before Pokémon was even a thing. Your Pokeymans are irrelevant to me, child. Irrelevant.

    So why do I recognise most of gen 1 and a handful of others besides?!

    TL;DR: Psyduck

      Bug types being super effective on Psychic types is always so funny to me.

      I have big brain and move big things with mind, but a bug bite, it scares me.

        Yeah, but the important detail in this case, was Butterfree’s base stats vs. Mewtwo’s and the fact that I hit it with a successful sleep powder and it was fast asleep for so long, that I managed to kill it with dream eater. 👻

    Nidoqueen but only because the in-game trade in the original games is named TERRY.

    When I battled a friend a few years ago after using her we laughed for awhile about the name. It became a meme between friends, and for that reason she’s my favorite.

    hard to pick just one. Flareon just barely eekes it out to the top but it has the unfair advantage of being my first starter, from Gale of Darkness on GCN. my fantasy team would be

    Flareon Swampert Decidyueye Gallade Drampa or Altaria Alolan Dugtrio or Clodesire
