I really like the original duo, Hitmonlee being the kicking pokemon, and hitmonchan being the punching pokemon. To me, hitmontop is diminished the likeablity of the dynamic; it should have stopped with the introduction of Tyrogue, the pre-evolution. Does there really need to be two kick-based pokemon? Maybe a headbutting, heck, a belly-bumping pokemon would have been a more complimentary addition.

So, of the two originals, it's a tough choice for my favorite, but I will go with Hitmonchan simply because of the versatility of moves it has always had. Blaze kick is the only, non-fighting or normal kick attack to my knowledge, and it took until gen 3 to introduce it.

I'd always been a fan of Hitmontop due to its design before I'd ever used them. Now I've used them all, and I have to say I don't have a favourite anymore.
Although their designs aren't my favourites, I don't dislike Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. Plus, Hitmonchan is named after my favourite Asian :)
Hitmonlee's kicking attacks have the better animations, Hitmonchan has the best movepool for in-game with those elemantal punches, and Hitmontop is a bit of a tank (despite low hp) and has a decent movepool too.

This is a tough decision for me, actually. Hitmonlee has the highest attack and powerful Fighting-type moves, Hitmonchan has the elemental punches plus that unique ability Iron Fist that makes punching type moves stronger and Hitmontop is the bulkiest of the three, which I like. Tough.

I guess I'll go with Hitmonchan because of the boosted punching attacks and is able to counter a wide range of opponents, plus it is based off Bruce Lee, which is my favourite martial artist. <3 Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch and Sky Uppercut is the best moveset in my opinion.

HITMONLEE gets my vote easily.. My favorite by far is Hitmonlee always been a fan of his design, and personally always liked the Pokemon..

Most useful is obviously Hitmonchan as that's already been stated.. Never really cared for Hitmonchan though

I went with Hitmonchan cos Iron Fist is great for abusing its many punching attacks and it gets the Elemental punches among them for extra diversity in its moves.
