Ahh, Pokemon! The show has literally been continuing on for about 23 years now. Everyone has either watched, read, or played countless games in the franchise. Ash Ketchum, and his many, many years of traveling and (sometimes) stupid battles. As most of you may know, there are about 900+ pokemon out there. So, who is your favorite pokemon? Mine?

Scorbunny

Gen 8 -
The Rabbit Pokemon
Fire-type starter
Pokedex Entry - Scorbunny, the Rabbit Pokémon. A Fire type. Once Scorbunny is ready for battle, the pads above its nose and under its feet give off intense heat. The soles on its feet are also said to bring good luck

Greninja

Gen 6 -
The Ninja Pokemon
Water - type
Pokedex Entry - It creates throwing stars out of compressed water. When it spins them and throws them at high speed, these stars can split metal in two.

Dragonite

Gen 1 -
The Dragon Pokemon
Dragon/Flying - Type
Pokedex Entry - Dragonite, the Dragon Pokémon. This extremely rare and highly intelligent type is able to fly faster than any known Pokémon.

I have many more pokemon I truly love. But these are my top three in any game. So, what's your favorite?

Wooloo is life.

10/10 perfect sheep. Would pet.
Fun fact: The starting area of Pokemon Sword/Shield is based on the part of the UK I'm from. Sheep outnumber people here, so the herds of Wooloo everywhere is accurate! :sweat_02:

A few that I really like:

Bulbasaur - my all time favorite, stumpy legs and a big happy mouth, plus it's my favorite type.

Snivy- It's got a sassy expression and the one in the Anime was a badass. Also it's my favorite type.

Psyduck- I feel bad for it and find it funny and feel bad for finding it funny. It's like a Pokemon that was just born into a living Ironic hell.

Yesss I love Greninja too. Some pokemon just have such epic designs my favorite are probably:

Dragapult

Yveltal

Hydreigon

Electivire

I can go on and on too hard to pick a favorite honestly. If we're talking nostalgia Blaziken was my first starter and I very fondly remember solely levelling my Kyogre and having it basically single-handedly take on the elite four and Steven :joy:

I love this ones!!!

First, Zigzagoon because it was the first one with 'pick-up' abilitie. Since then, I always tries to have a pkmn with that abilitie on my team, and if I can, it has to be a Zigzagoon~

Farfetch, because its one of the pkmns who can learn thief and false swipe. Some really useful attacks. Later Gorgeist, Stantler or Shuppet could replace Farfetch on the steal department, due to Frisk abilitie, but they usually appear too late on the games to be useful when you need them.

Meowth, because MONEY MONEY MONEY!

And lastly, just because it has this beautiful fan song, Furret. I will win a League just with a perfect IV Furret one day. I swear.

Gengar and Clefable! I love reading theories about their connections. I've named them "Ume" and "Momo" in-game :grin:

HE

Sigilyph is so strange, so out there, but it's my favorite. A fully organic lil dude capable of eating(somehow), sleeping, dancing, but acts like a scout robot, and always appears in cool places. It also comes from personal experience, Sigilyph is a super versatile special attacker to go single-player through Unova, and mine always came in clutch for tough type combinations.

Any of Gothita's evolutions. She's an adorable goth, what's not to love?

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.
