My favorite Pokemon is Empoleon. I like every water type starter but it didn't become my favorite until I had one in Diamond and I saw how awesome its typing was. Plus penguins are my favorite animals and that's obviously what Empoleon is based off of.

I know I messed it up the first time by only listing without giving a reason why, so now I know better, here is 2nd attempt:

• Bug: Leavanny, I don't like bug-Pokemon much, but non other bugs looked interesting

• Dark: Liepard is my number one #1 Pokemon, so its no surprise its also my favorite type of Pokemon too. Its the looks on its eyes that really get me, and the fur markings too. Liepard has become the #1 in my heart. Its eyes are sort of using attract on me, and its extremely effective on me.

• Dragon: Axew, blame it on Iris in the anime, I like Fraxure a bit more.

• Electric: Emolga no other electric type Pokemon comes even close, look at the cuteness its eyes and heart, it has Volt Switch, and in the anime it has a really cool sounding voice, especially when its laughing.

• Fighting:Mienfoo, I fell in love with Mienfoo's design, too me it has a weaselish type body, and it has drain punch, my favorite fighting attack

• Fire: Pignite, not too much into fire-types, but definitely would go to Pignite.

• Flying: Swanna, personally don't like flying types as much, really love when I use Roost, and hate when its used against me, drags the battles too long

• Ghost: Cofagrigus's design looks creepy if I had to see it at night, but would make a great album cover for the metal band Nile, I can see it now.

• Grass: Servine best grass Pokemon created to date, I wouldn't dream about using any other grass type, along with Snivy and Serperior, I love their designs, they are screaming at me to play Pokemon White again

• Ground: Krokorok, at first I didn't want to give it a chance, when I did I'm glad I made the choice, it has really helped me out along the way.

• Ice: Beartic, I couldn't exactly find a Ice-type I liked the most but I'll give the credit to Beartic, I have not been able to find one yet.

• Normal: my heart is screaming out for Persian but Watchog's eye, heart, and cuteness isn't letting me do so. Watchog has been my partner since I first catch them as Patrat (which I love too)

• Poison: Scolipede, its first bug-type but also has poison type too, so its the one I like by design the most

• Psychic: Sigilyph, looks frightening from certain angles, but like its design

• Rock: Crustle, I know its part bug part rock, but I also not too much into rock Pokemon either

• Steel: another type of which I don't like much, so my only choice is also part bug. Genesect, can't wait to see it in the movie

• Water: Dewott, Oshawott and Samurott too, no other Water Pokemon comes even close for my likings, well Buizel/Floatzel may come close, but for design and beauty Dewott takes all the credit. Why in my games he's the strongest and holds an everstone.



there were too many others to mention from other generations, but still Unova Pokemon appeal more to me. I still like Pokemon from other regions (with the exception of Johto, only like 1).

Ooh boy oh boy. What fun!
Ok first things first. I'll pick these based off of either how much I used them or if I just like them in general. I'll give reasons.
Normal- hard to choose but I guess teddiursa? I don't use normal types at all. Or normal flying for that matter. Teddiursa is just way cute IMHO. No other reason lol

Fighting- another hard to choose type cuz I never use them. I guess blaziken cuz back when I played sapphire I tried torchic cuz I never used anything but water starters till then and so blaziken was really the only fighting type I know and used well.

Flying- probably crobat. In my ruby and sapphire and heartgold adventures a zubat golbat then crobat wound up being my second so this was the primary flying type I used and it's consistent for me. Also cool cuz the evolution from golbat to crobat makes me feel it loves me lol.

Poison- I'd say muk. Nothing really special I've just always had a soft spot for it. Mainly for its design. Don't ask I have no clue y I love this pile of toxic sludge. Considering I'm a near freak it's even weirder lol

Ground- swampert. My first ever Pokemon to reach 100 back in ruby. And an absolute power house. I truly loved him and I'm so glad I have one now in heartgold.

Rock- another type I don't meddle in. But I'd go with... Gigalith. I don't have one but I'd probably use it if I did and had to have a rock type. Looks cool and not bad stats.

Bug- ariados. I just love spiders. And it's not bad lol

Ghost- haunter. I hate gengar's design. XD but also haunter looks cool and it's perfectly creepy but also goofy.

Steel- aggron. Awesome design. Powerful. Underrated xD

Fire- I generally don't use fire types either. I'd say rapidash. I love the design and high speed and attack. It's a unicorn on fire. Yes some bad jokes could be made about that but I love it lol it's uber bad ass.

Water- my favorite type ugh. Lol it'd be unfair to choose mudkip cuz it's the same reason I picked swampert for my ground. So I'll give it to squirtle. Love thy guy. I picked him in blue as a child because he's water type and blastoise was cool and I thought water was cool. So he was also my first Pokemon ever. Had a cake shaped like him when I turned ten lol.

Grass- again a type I don't use. Probably cacturne. I raised one for a while alongside blaziken.

Electric- ah one of my 4 favorite types its hard omg lol shinx and emolga they're just too darn cute my shinx luxio luxray was my main Pokemon in platinum cuz I started with piplup but I hate piplup and its family. So I'd choose shinx I guess lol

Psychic- mewtwo. The movie and also I generally don't use psychic so I wind up with him cuz I just think his design is cool lol

Ice- another of my fav 4. Maybe glaceon? So cute and cuddly and nice abilities.

Dragon- last of my fav types. Hard. Haxorus, salamence, dialga. Lets go salamence. He's the most loyal to what a dragon is.

Dark- spiritomb. I like his stats. And no weakness. Finally I quite like his design.

Electric: Pichuuu - baby pokemons are my favourite but pichu is... soo damn cuutee!
Bug: Shedinja - bugs are my least favourites, but i don't hate shedinja, it has unique abilities and 10 hp. he cant be hit by any attack unless it is super effective!.

Normal: Skitty - In Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, after taking the personality test, I turned into Skitty. And ever since that time, I've actually really liked this cute pink kitten.

Fire: Heatmor - It's really creepy and cool at the same time. When I first started playing Pokémon White, I was really disappointed for a long time because there simply wasn't a single semi-cool fire-type. Well, that was until I stumbled upon one in Victory Road, and my whole World turned around.

Fighting: Sawk - Because of the TV-Series after watching Stephan's Sawk, I came to like it quite a bit.

Water: Squirtle - I only came to realize the other day, just how much I actually like Squirtle. I originally thought Octillery was my favorite, but no. Squirtle somehow surpassed it.

Flying: Altaria - Since I have a blue budgie, and I always thought that if he ever were to become a Pokémon, it would be a Swablu or Altaria.

Grass: Snivy & Bulbasaur - My 2 favorite starters of all time. It's horrible, but I can't choose between them. Snivy is really chic, while Bulbasaur is totally cool. How would I ever be able to choose?

Poison: Crobat - Ever since I first completed my HeartGold Nuzlocke which had a Crobat on the team, I've always had a big liking for Crobat. It was one of my best Pokémon.

Electric: Zapdos - This one was really hard, and I'm honestly not much for favoring legendary Pokémon. But Zapdos has been my favorite legendary ever since Pokémon first came out when I was 6 years old, and it still is.

Ground: Cubone - Used to be my favorite when I was smaller. Now it's just... My favorite Ground type.

Psychic: Mewtwo - Most badass legendary Pokémon ever. Truly.

Rock: Geodude - Mostly because of its name. "Geo - dude" is just... Priceless. I was close to choosing Gigalith as well.

Ice: Mamoswine - Same reason as for Crobat. My Mamoswine and Crobat teamed up together made the perfect fit.

Bug: Surskit - I think Surskit's the cutest thing ever. I seldom find anything cute, but Surskit is really, really adorable with those tiny legs and blushing cheeks!

Dragon: Garchomp - I like Garchomp. Why? Because it's strong. I must admit Cynthia made me like Garchomp even more than I originally would have.

Dark: Bisharp - I trained one up in Black2, and it turned out to be my strongest Pokémon on its team, so I just naturally preferred it more.

Steel: Lairon - I've never been that fond of Steel-types. But I guess I like Lairon more, since I one ran into a shiny one. It used Roar on me and disappeared forever, though.

Ghost: Banette - Banette is not only my favorite Ghost-type Pokémon. It's actually my favorite Pokémon of all. I don't really know why, to be honest. It's weak and not that useful, but man! I like this Pokémon so much.

Normal - Kangaskhan: I love the design of kangaskhan and that is based on an Australian icon. But on top of that it is quite powerful and can learn several fairly good moves.

Fire - Charizard: Charizard really is one of the single most badass pokemon in existence. I love not only its design but also its characterisation in the anime. It's got great stats and a fairly good movepool to boot.

Fighting - Lucario: I quite like several fighting types but lucario outclasses them all and is my number #1 favourite pokemon so far. It is awesomely powerful, has a good movepool and typing as well as the coolest design I have ever seen in pokemon. The interesting characterisations it has received have also been very interesting.

Water - Feraligatr: I don't even know why I like it, I just do. I instantly loved it as soon as I saw it.

Flying - Staraptor: Staraptor was the first truly awesome non-legendary bird with good stats, design and an ok movepool. It set a standard for flying types that the next gen tried very hard to keep. (Honourable mention to Togekiss, the dorky name cost it really).

Grass - Sceptile: The first fully evolved grass-type to not look ridiculous (well venosaur isn't THAT bad but it doesn't compete) it has good stats as do most starters and arguably the best movepool of any grass type. Again the anime portrayal of it did help. (Honourable mention to shiftry purely for design)

Poison - Toxicroak and Crobat: I really couldn't decide between them at all. Both have awesome designs and whilst crobat is generally better for battling I just couldn't not include Toxicroak.

Electric - Jolteon: Honestly I don't really like many electrict types so it was pretty easy to narrow it down to jolteon that gets #1 electric based purely on design.

Ground - Marrowack: I'm not much of a ground-type fan in general but I love the Cubone/Marrowack story and honestly it is just an awesome looking pokemon.

Psychic - Mewtwo: I tried really hard not to pick a legendary but I just couldn't top Mewtwo. The stats, the history, the character and the design. Just wow. Honestly it was my favourite until Lucario came along and I'm still a huge fan.

Rock - Kabutops: I am a colossal fan of most fossil type and this one was close between Aerodactyl, Kabutops, Rampardos and Armaldo but in the end Kabutops just looks so ridiculously badass and has such a cool mega kick animation on Stadium that I couldn't pick anything else.

Ice - Vanilite/Vailuxe: A tie between stages one and three. The combination of stats, cuteness, uniqueness and moves just makes this one for me too be honest. Although for some reason I hate Vanilish.

Bug - Pinsir: Just because... How could you look at it and not think of how awesome it is?

Dragon - Flygon: Good stats, good movepool and the most unique design of all the dragon types to date. It really is seriously underated always being beaten out by Salamence (whose design I don't like much) and Garchomp but I find it hard to think of anything I dislike about it. I'll admit this was hard though since dragon is one of my favourite types. (Honourable mention to Garchomp and Dialga).

Dark - Umbreon: It is the most awesome of all the eeveelutions and has good stats and moves on top of that.

Steel - Agron: It is honestly just the most awesomely designed off all the steel types (except Lucario) but as a lover of steel types this was hard. I gave it to Agron for the power/defence/looks/moves it has everything whilst others have only a few of those elements (and I picked Lucario for fighting lol). (Metagross and Dialga came close).

Ghost - Gengar: It's creepy and cool at the same time. I mean, how awesome is a living shadow, AND it has good stats and moves.

Bug: Scolipede, because it saved me a bunch of times in Pokemon White
Dark: Krookodile, because it's just that epic. It also reminds me of Guilmon for some reason...
Dragon: Dragonite, thanks to a certain YouTube video
Electric: Luxray, I mean COME ON! It's a LION that shoots LIGHTNING!
Fighting: Mienshao, the KUNG FU FERRET THING!
Fire: Charizard, best of the characters in SSBB!
Flying: Pidgeot, had one lv 90-something in Yellow as a kid.
Ghost: Cofagrigus, because I like Egyptian stuff
Grass: Torterra, my first level 100!
Ground: Rhyperior, ROCK WRECKER!
Ice: Beartic, because it's a polar bear with an ICE BEARD!
Normal: Bouffalant, the afro bison. Need I explain?
Poison: Skuntank, comical cry.
Psychic: Xatu, I really like the design and name
Rock: Armaldo, due to its stats
Steel: Magnezone, its a UFO!
Water: Kingdra, because it's majestic like that

I have three, but I'm starting to think four.

In no particular order:

Entei. It looks so beautiful and strong and lion-like. I hate most of the Pokemon movies, but the 3rd one with him in it was really cool. So particularly, I guess my favorite Pokemon would have to be Crystal Entei. It's pretty much all in the design, though. It just looks so perfect @_@

Delcatty & Skitty. In my first playthrough of Mystery Dungeon, I was a Skitty and evolved into a Delcatty. I was around 10, and I was ridiculously attached to that game. So they're more nostalgia and attachment, but I do like they're designs, especially Skitty. Cute, simple, and kinda creative.

Shinx? I really love this little guy. He's so cute. I do think he's a bit... overdesigned, though. Still, he looks cute and apparently is based off of Kimba. <3

For me it's a tie between Cradily and Maractus. Two pretty under appreciated grass types. Cradily coz if his pretty whacky looks and fairly good defence and offence as well. Maractus coz she's a cactus. She looks pretty cuddly and friendly for a cactus. Not to mention that it can be a force of nature in the battlefield.

So, what's your favourite electric Pokemon?

Pidgeot because it was my first level 100 pokemon back in Pokemon Red version.
Umbreon / Nyx looks so beatiful especially the shiny form, always in my party since gen 2.

Ahh I used to change my favourite Pokemon every second minute. I used to be fond of Arcanine for a long time but then it lost all of the spark it had for me years ago, I don't know why. It's still a Pokemon I love though, although it isn't top dog anymore, you could say I suppose. Right now my current favourite is Minun, it isn't the greatest battler out there, I can understand that but its overall design is rather adorable. I like its playful nature in the anime and honestly I've once tried using it, wasn't half bad! I was expecting it to be rather worthless, but it proved me completely wrong. Also I have a figurine of it stashed away somewhere from years and years ago, so I guess you can say that adds to the fondness as well.

Bug-Galvantula because I fell in love with it in White
Grass-The Bulbasaur line because they are my most favorite Pokemon evah
Poison-Toxicroak due to B.A. design
Ground-Marowak because of all the creepypasta centered around it
Rock-Golem because it can survive dynamite. THE POKEDEX SAID SO
Flying-Pidgeot because it was one of my trusty teammates in Leafgreen
Normal-Togekiss because of Metrenome spam
Electric-Magneton because I prefer it over Magnezone
Steel-Lucario because of deadly spikes poking out of it
Fighting-Machamp because multiple arms = win
Psychic-Gardevoir because of crossdressing. (Since it can sometimes be male)
Dark-Umbreon/Mightyena because I can't choose between them
Ice-Walrein because walrus are awesome
Water-Floatzel because of the life saving floatation device on its neck
Fire-Arcanine/Ninetails because I once again can't pick between two Pokemon
Ghost-Gengar because of a really epic battle against Lance in Leafgreen
Dragon-Dragonite because Dragonite is win

Please note, that my favorite Pokemon are subject to change at any given moment. OMGMUDKIPZ

I think Overall i can say that my favorite pokemon is Timburr.

Many people think Timburr is ugly, but it's adorable in my opinion! Mine on my White version is one of the strongest pokemon in my team. Fighting types are my second-favorite type too.

Am I supposed to be doing some kind of format here with types..? .w.

Let's see...

Dark - Houndoom. This thing is the coolest looking Pokemon they've ever introduced and it's strong and very fun to take with my team in the generations I have been able to use it (mostly just Platinum ;_;)

Water - Feraligatr. I cannot count how many times I've solo'd Crystal with this guy. He is just an incredible Pokemon and he looks so cool!

Poison - Crobat. This thing's speed is off the chart! And the fact that he evolves from annoying Pokemon, for some reason, makes me love it even more.

Ice - Weavile. Besides being my second favorite dark type, this is my favorite Ice type, because it's cool, fast, strong, and kind of creepy lol.

Fire - Houndoom lol. Arcanine is second tho for being fire beast.

Dragon - Druddigon. I've never been a huge dragon fan, but with BW brought my favorite BW Pokemon in Druddigon. Even if he looks odd, I love him and his sheer power.

Flying - Crobat again. Honchkrow is second for being a boss (for real)

Grass - Serperior. The classiest of all starters here and the most interesting imo. With low offensive stats, you'd wonder why someone would use this thing, but with great boosting moves in calm mind and coil, it's not hard to use this thing in-game.

Ground - Donphan. I remember the days I started to use this thing. I saw it in Silver and wanted it so badly that I used a Master Ball (I was an 8 year old mind you).

I have to think more about the others before I edit the list with more.
