This answer changes slightly over the years, but the Pokemon I've always called my favorite and I associate with my early (Gen 1-4) pre competitive days is Absol. Yes, this is absolutely a carry-over from my edgelord days and I will not apologize. I have an odd relationship with luck and saw myself as bringing bad luck where ever I went, so I naturally latched onto, and related to Absol

I am mostly familiar with gen 1 because I watched it as a kid.

I liked Squirtle, especially when the one's from the episode where they all had glasses. I used to draw them when I was super young.

I also like magnemite. I think he looks really cute

Tangela is also neat

I remember having a Pokemon book, and Absol was on the very first page, and I was just enamored by it. It had this amazing mystique and cool design and I was fascinated by the whole thing.

GUYSSS sylveon was dropped in Pokemon GO TODAY so like we gotta get 70 hearts in order to evolve it or there might be a secret name.

Anyways, my fav Pokemon would have to be: CELEBI

The most adorable creature to ever exist!!

First Pokemon game I ever played was Ruby, and while there is always love for my first favorite starter, Torchic, this little guy here was the one I fell in love with... Shuppet!

I loved him to bits :heart_eyes:. Since then, I've had such a soft spot for all Ghost types and wished there'd be a starter Ghost type. I knew it wouldn't be a thing since the starters were always Grass-Fire-Water, so just imagine my absolute delight when I found out this owl friend was a Ghost type <3

I love them both sooooo much <3

Ah, it's somewhat off topic but what competitive formats do you/did you play? :slight_smile: I started competitive in gen 5 as well, mostly 6v6 singles but I dipped my toes into 4v4 Doubles with Sword.
