    Just trying to get a few different views on each generations top pokemon. You can list them with a reason. I just really want to see if a lot of lists are similar.
    Mine:
    Gen 1: Starmie- Super fast and very versitile.
    Blastoise- My first pokemon.
    Gen 2: Heracross- Very strong and a reliable in game pokemon.
    Raikou- The overlooked legendary dog but the fastest.
    Gen 3: Breloom- Does Breloom really need an explanation?
    Castform- Can be a really reliable in game pokemon that has great coverage and a decent Sp. Atk.
    Gen 4: Yanmega- I was already a fan of yanma and to evole him even better!
    Heatran- Last gen 4 pokemon I found and I guess I saved the best for last!
    Gen 5: Jellicent- My username says it all!
    Scolipede- Finally the early three stage bugs are actually put to good use.

    • I remember seeing a thread where you pick one from every gen instead of two, but I'm not sure if it's still active or if it actually even exists lol so I'll answer this one.

    Kanto: TOUGH BEANS Nidoking/Nidoqueen (I'm counting them as one OH WELL) and... Aerodactyl? Hard to not pick Eevee and his evos... but the Nidos look like they could beat anything to a pulp that annoyed them and Aero is the best fossil ever IMO.

    Johto: Again, TOUGH BEANS. Uh... uhm... Tyranitar and Entei, I guess? Tyranitar I've loved since I first saw it, it's a dinosaur! Self-explanatory. Entei is a Guardian Lion and looks the best of the 3 wildcats IMO

    Hoenn: INCREDIBLY TOUGH BEANS considering it's my favorite gen... Delcatty and Absol maybe? You probably all know my fervent adoration for Delcatty by now lol. Absol was tied for my favorite until Del surpassed it, but it still rocks. It's like a skinny lion/wolf/mythological thing with a scythe sticking out of its head.

    Sinnoh: Eh. Luxyray and Lopunny. Although overdone, an electric lion is cool. Also Shinx is based off of Kimba which is RAD. Lopunny is just cute and cool at the same time.

    Unova: Hard choice... uh... Sawsbuck and Mandibuzz. Sawsbuck is a deer, I love love love deer. Plus its Winter Forme kicks rump. Mandibuzz is ugly in a devastatingly awesome kind of way.

    EDITED to fit within rules, gave reasons

    Kanto: Blastoise, pure awesomeness and Dragonite, a cute strong dragon type, absolutely awesome.
    Johto: Chikorita Line My favourite starters! Tyranitar So cool, and strong!
    Hoenn: Blaziken Such a cool pokemon, helped me through a lot. Rayq uaza My favourite legendary.
    Sinnoh: Luxray Coolas! Just Awesome! Palkia Another Awesome legendary.
    Unova Haxorus One of my favourite dragon types. Jellicent Such a great tank, helped me a lot :)

    Just my 2 cents.

    • Agreed on Nidoqueen Snowdrop, she's a beast :D

    Gen 1: Ninetales (I have incredible bias towards it lol) and Venomoth (I feel it's an underrated bug, it has strong moves and you can use it in a technical way as well).

    Gen 2: Umbreon and Houndoom (just going from experience on how useful they were)

    Gen 3: Swellow and Manectric hands down, they're my favourites of their respective types for good reason haha :)

    Gen 4: Honchkrow (such a beast) and Mothim (what can I say, I dig moth pokémon lol)

    Gen 5: I've only just started my game so I can't fairly comment on this one yet :)


    This was so hard lol, I left out starters and legendaries to try and narrow it down lol :)

    I'm moving this to Pokemon Voting Polls, but keep in mind you cannot just list them. That's against the rules. Give reasons.

    This is really hard, because I like many Pokemon from each generation.
    1:
    Ninetales. My first "favorite."
    Raichu. I always liked it better than Pikachu, and I never understood why people wouldn't evolve their Pikachus.
    2:
    Azumarill. It wasn't really of any use until Generation 3, but I always liked it's design.
    Noctowl. I'm pretty sure it's our only owl based Pokemon, and I love owls. I hope someday Noctowl will get an evolution.
    3:
    Absol. Absol was one of the only Pokemon I really like from this generation. I like it's design and it helped me a lot in the Hoenn E4.
    Altaria. What a unique little dragon. I actually didn't really realize Altaria was a dragon until Generation 4. Anyhow, it's moderately powerful and it has a nice design.
    4:
    Skuntank. I really like skunks. At first I wasn't too big on it's design, but it grew on my after seeing it in D/P. Now it's one of my favorites.
    Lopunny. There were tons of cuties in D/P, in my opinion. But Lopunny isn't only cute- it has quite an interesting movepool and can learn many TMs. I found that to be very great in-game.
    5:
    Cinccino. I think this little guy is a hidden gem, and it's overlooked a bit. It has an ability that makes it's signature move worthwhile. And it has satisfactory stats, with a good Attack. It's pretty cute, too.
    Sawsbuck. Gen 5 had many nice grass types, in my opinion. However, Sawsbuck is very unique and it has an interesting move, Horn Leech. With the right moveset, Sawsbuck does great competitively and in-game. I almost always use it on my White teams, now.

    EDIT: I'm changing my Gen 4 opinion on Lopunny. Glaceon is better. It is my favorite eeveelution and favorite ice type. It doesn't have a great movepool, but with it's ability and Sp. Attack, it's very usable and almost better than some of the other top-notch ice types. It also has a satisfactory design.

    I've never really looked much into Breloom. Could you explain to me why you like it? I think it looks okay, but doesn't it have average stats and many weaknesses?

    • Gen 1:
    Mew- One of my first favorite pokemon. Even though its concept is kinda disturbing.
    Beedrill- I just like it...
    Gen 2:
    Chinchou- Very adorable (as well as its evolution) Nice type combo and ability.
    Hitmontop- Lots of priority moves + Technician = Big trouble arrived. (Nice design btw)
    Gen 3:
    Beautifly: Both cute and creepy (Read its pokedex entries)
    Altaria: Just... beautiful and kinda good type combo.
    Gen 4:
    Roserade: Nothing more elegant than a rose that poisons...
    Magnezone: It is very useful in-game as I quickly learned in B2W2.
    Gen 5:
    Victini: My new favorite legendary. Adorable and weird typing, but still good.
    Golurk: A flying statue. That has Iron Fist as one of its abilities.

    Gen 1 -
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    and
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    Charizard is probably one of strongest starters that ever lived and I'm sure many other people will aggree with me. Dragonite is very strong dragon pokemon that could beat anyone unless faced against ice type.
    Gen 2 -
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    and
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    Typlosion is starter I always chose in 2nd generation games and it can be quite strong. Tyranitar as any rock type monster is very strong, but it's Dark part makes it even more strong.
    Gen 3 -
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    and
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    Aggron is defensive tank against almost any pokemon and it is quite hard to beat due all the resistances. Salamence is basically same case as Dragonite.
    Gen 4 -
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    and
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    Garchomp is probably most powerful pokemon I ever owned. It beats almost anything. Gallade is master of attack and if it hits then usually it's K.O.
    Gen 5 -
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    and
    Top 2 pokemon from each gen.
    Zoruark is the funnest pokemon of all, it can transform into anything just like ditto and yet it doesn't look like a chewing gum. Haxorus yet another strong dragon pokemon which beats everyone in it's path.

    • Gen I: Blastoise and Jolteon. Blastoise has those huge cannons on its back and Jolteon is fast and strong.

    Gen II: Feraligatr and Tyranitar. I used Feraligatr in HG and liked it; Tyranitar has good stats and an equally good move pool.

    Gen III: Swampert and Salamence. Same reasons as Feraligatr and Tyranitar.

    Gen IV: Gallade and Lucario. Both have good stats and movepools.

    Gen V: Excadrill and Samurott. Sand Rush Excadrill is fast and strong, while Samurott is just plain cool in general, probably because it keeps its swords in its forelegs.

    Breloom does have average stats except its attack stat. Its attack can max out at 394 combine this with its new technician ability with mach punch and bullet seed it can reek havoc on any team. That said it takes devotion to train because it takes 1,640,000 exp. to reach lv. 100.

    Gen I: Mewtwo and Charizard. Mewtwo is a very strong Pokemon, and it's Movepool is WIN. Charizard because it has a good moveset, and it could learn Fissure in R/B/G/Y.

    Gen II: Umbreon and Typhlosion. Umbreon, is like the coolest Pokemon ever. Typhlosion does Elemental punches which PWNs any type of Pokemon.

    Gen III: Rayquaza and Salamence. Rayquaza is really strong, and it's design is like a snake. Salamence because it has an excellent movepool, just like Dragonite.

    Gen IV: Dialga and Luxray. Dialga is cool and powerful. Luxray, has great movepool.

    Gen V: Serperior and Hydregon. Serperior is a very nice snake, unfortunately it wasn't Fire Type. Hydregon, well, no other good Pokemon.

    • Generation 1 -
    Growlithe - Don't know why I love it so much but I do.

    Umbreon - It is just pure awesomeness
    Lanturn - Water and Electric, What is not to like?

    Generation 3 -
    Slaking - I was surprised at the power it had because it was weak as a Slakoth
    Walrein - Like with Growlithe I just really like it for no reason.

    Generation 4 -
    Luxray - the design of it is really good, and it can be quite strong.
    Munchlax - I have always liked Snorlax so this was quite nice too have.

    Generation 5 -
    Gigalith - Roggenrola was the first Pokemon I 'Caught' in Pokemon white.
    Braviary - Much like with Machamp it Pretty much won the league for me.
