Which is your favorite Pokemon and why?

Exactly What It Says on the Tin

Magcargo, because Magcargo had an awesome movepool and unique typing back in GSC. Oh, and he's a lava snail! Of course, Magcargo has always been a sad sack of fail in the competitive ring, but I love him anyway. I was really disappointed when Gamefreak didn't give him some sort of cool upgrade in the 5th Generation, since something like Solid Rock, Sturdy, or a new ability would have really given Maggy some love.

Mudkip. Seriously.

But Nattorei is challenging it.

I WONDER WHAT IT IS.

...Even after all this time, I'd have to say my favorite is probably Charmander. I freely admit there's probably some Nostalgia Factor in that choice, but hey, nothing wrong with that. A Charmander was my first choice way back when; years later, Charmander remains my first choice whenever given a chance to pick one. I still have my collection of Charmander and Charmander-evolution merchandise, too...

I also like Eevee and its evolutions for the versatility, and have done the cliche 'Eeveelution' run in various games, but Charmander is still my first favorite.

Gengar. Awesome special sweeper who saved my ass so much, he was basically the best pokemon on my team cause I always knew I could count on him to open the team and deal damage no matter whom he faced (this is all 3rd gen btw).

Add the giant evil grin on his face...and man what's there not to like about him?

I know I'm not going to be original but I'm just going to say Mew for being the prime example of a Badass Adorable ^^

Electivire may be my favorite, but Sazandora is getting there. DAT COLOR SCHEME AND THREE HEADS

Eh, Sazandora < Salamence.

And this is why we're not friends.

Hmph. :P

Also, I put the GAR in Garchomp.

Salamence

My three favorites are... (yes, three. I can't possibly choose any fewer)

Furret! I played Silver barely knowing what Pokemon were in store for me, the first Pokemon I caught was a Sentret, it evolved early, I loved it and it loyally stayed by my side ever since. Also, I can just kinda identify with it. I mean, Pokemon have some sort of personality by design, and Furret just seems like this simple-minded but ultimately clever, fun-loving and cuddly guy.

Sapphire, I played with really next to no idea of what was to come, and when I saw Ralts, I just knew that that thing would turn into something glorious. And I was not disappointed. Seeing Kirlia evolve into something so beautiful was pretty much one of the best things ever in the history of gaming. So the other first place goes to Gardevoir!

And the third... is FUCKING METEOR, BITCH

... I don't know, why. I just adore its design.

Sorry, Psyduck. It's just been too long since I fell in love with you in the anime. And you never called me since.

So Erufuun = Yan?

THAT EXPLAINS THINGS

Lucario. Because it basically got me back into Pokemon after the horror of 3rd Gen...

That, and it's a pretty cool Pokemon.

Masquerain.

I don't know, I like how it looks. I got it to level 65, which is pretty impressive, because it's a really weak Pokemon.

Those with Bilingual Bonus knowledge will know my fave Poké when looking at my nick. For those who don't, it's Umbreon: Noctali is its French name.

I also love Flareon (and I'm pretty pissed of Gamefreak's treatment of the little critter each Gen that passes), and like Houndoom a lot too.

Masquerain is cool, I can see why you'd like it that much. I had one called Blubelmont, which is random gibberish that I think suits Surskit really well. ... Of course, Surskit is unusable, so I kinda had to evolve it.

Masquerain is actually not all that weak, though. More like really mediocre. In the fifth generation, it actually becomes pretty potent. It's always had a good movepool, and with Intimidate, it has some usable defense. With the new addition of Butterfly Dance, you can really tear your opponents a new one if you can set up.

I didn't know that, I've only played the first three generations.

I like a lot of pokemon but my favorite is Dragonite, because despite his adorable, pudgy appearance he's always been a good physical tank/sweeper for me whenever I used him.

Breloom. A fighting mushroom with a 100% accurate Sleep move that looks like a homage to Luigi and evolves from a Goomba look-alike? Yeah.

I always have had a soft spot for Mewtwo. Badass, powerful and gets his own unique move in the fifth gen. Despite the nerfing of the psychic type, Mewtwo is still one fo the strongest legendaries in the game.

Alakazam, Fast, strong, a great starter pokemon.

I have firered and ground my abra from Cerulean to a Kadabra as quickly as possible.

Too bad it's getting less and less powerful with each generation.

I mean, if they'd attempted to BALANCE psychic instead of you know, Making everyone and their brother immune to it and/or strong against it it'd be nice.

Bulbasaur and co. Nice all-rounder Grass-type Pokemon, with the advantage of being the ORIGINAL Pokemon.
