What's your favorite Type?
 
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Type
So, which is your favorite?

Notice: Nobody vote ??? please. It is now a retired type, and therefore should not be in the poll. My mistake. Please do not vote for it.

Timbjerr March 21st, 2012 12:07 PM

Poison by far. I'm a fan of assassin/rogue style fighters in other RPGs, and poison-types capture that same basic essence in the Pokemon games. XD

psyanic March 21st, 2012 1:35 PM

Personally, I like the Steel-type. They have awesome Pokemon and pretty sweet designs, and almost always have a nice set of stats.

Moonmover March 21st, 2012 1:45 PM

Psychic was the original game-breaker, my friends. Nothing is stronger than the power of your mind.

~Moonmover

Not true! The power of DARKNESS is all that I need! All hail the Dark type!

This man knows his stuff. The Dark type is my favourite too.

PlatinumDude March 21st, 2012 4:54 PM

Water types are my favorite because they have interesting designs, for the most part, and they're good offensively and defensively. Dragon and Fighting do come in close, though.

gunnerpow7 March 21st, 2012 4:58 PM

My favorite are the Grass Types... =D Love their designs...

Lava_Princess March 21st, 2012 4:59 PM

I love fire types!
I'll burn you to a crisp!

Zertinan March 21st, 2012 6:01 PM

Dragons! Dragonite is one of my favorites.

Avishka March 21st, 2012 10:47 PM

I love fire and dragon types!!!
fire type pokemon have powerful moves and dragon type are the best!!

SulfurDebacle March 22nd, 2012 12:59 AM

Steel is definitely my favourite pokemon type
And it's been that way for quite some time.

Hikamaru March 22nd, 2012 1:35 AM

I love Psychic-types due to most of them having awesome designs.

And I love the Unova Psychics especially...

Jobrjo March 22nd, 2012 10:14 AM

I personally don't favor any particular type, but if I had to choose I'd say Flying.
I'm a user of dual-type Pokemon. And since all Flying are dual-types, except for 1, I tend to have quite a lot of them :D
Also, Legendary Birds.

Atomic Pirate March 22nd, 2012 11:02 AM

Dark-type. They look cool enough, and are often insanely strong.

Yoshikko March 22nd, 2012 11:32 AM

You should have made it multiple votes! I have more than one haha. Anyways I voted Dark, but I have three favourites really, which are Dark, Bug and Poison. I love the concepts, I love the Pokémon with those types and I yea just like everything about them. Dark is just so sneaky, playful and ill-natured sometimes, bug is just very silly and UNDERRATED and I love bugs and bug Pokémon, and Poison is just great hahah.

Aphelion March 22nd, 2012 12:17 PM

I love Dragon & Fire types, but I voted Dragon.

DarkIceForever March 22nd, 2012 2:28 PM

Fighting type pokemon all the way! They are the true experts in pokemon battles. I also like thunder types, and ice comes at a nice third in my book.

DarkWolf13 March 22nd, 2012 3:13 PM

Water since generation 1, then since Gen IV, Fighting came in second, but my most favorite is Water.

Salò March 22nd, 2012 7:02 PM

Psychic is my favourite. Nothing is cooler than telekinesis.

Jobrjo March 29th, 2012 10:56 AM

So, at this point, we have 20 votes; but still no love for ???, Electric, Ground, Ice, Normal or Rock Pokemon. Interesting. Also, Dark, Psychic, and Water hold the lead with 3 votes each.

HoodieDoodie March 29th, 2012 11:21 AM

Probably Electric, Fire and Water. Dark.... I just find them to be weak, and their moves aren't fabulous either.

ermJasko March 29th, 2012 11:33 AM

I'd have to say Dragon is my favorite simply because of the designs of the Pokemon that they have. But really Dragon is quite OP and if it wasn't Dragon it'd probably be Ghost :D

DominusValdo March 29th, 2012 12:22 PM

I'd have to say Fire... first game was Red and of course I picked charmander. All their designs are awesome and they are extremely strong. Plus.. I'm a pryo haha.

blue March 29th, 2012 1:01 PM

I have many favourite Pokémon and the vast majority are flying types so that's why my favourite type is flying.

Mentalii March 31st, 2012 2:59 AM

Ice type for me.
The Ice Pokémon often have an interesting double-type and this is what I love. They are strong, they are beautiful (not all of them of course), they are perfect.

Chibi Et Random April 1st, 2012 7:26 AM

It's pretty much a tie between Dark and Ghost types
I just like how they work in the game, and their motif in general

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE April 1st, 2012 12:00 PM

Fire's my most favourite :)

Also love Dark, Fighting, Flying and Ice :)

Nomine April 1st, 2012 12:03 PM

I'd have to say that Ice is my favourite type.

Then why didn't you vote for it? Our poor flying only has 1 vote, and that's me .-.

Killjoy April 2nd, 2012 9:36 AM

I like the size, and power of the dragon types. They're just so cool

Legobricks April 2nd, 2012 10:43 AM

Grass due to utility, assuming I were to prepare well and fight accordingly. In practice I see a lot of use from Flying and have probably never actually used a pure Grass-type for long. Oddly, considering the aforementioned, I have never used Tropius to date. Electric also appeals to my fondness, and I use Jolteon incessantly, but I'm still awaiting a dual Electric-Fighting type.

LuLaby April 2nd, 2012 11:02 AM

I'll go with psychic, I like some steel-type pokemon too but the majority are Psychic
No particular reasons except that
Most of them have awesome style and many of them good type coverage

arbok April 2nd, 2012 11:59 AM

Poison types.
Although many of them aren't exactly the strongest and they need more advantages than just grass the designs are my favourate and the diversity is just great. Much love to water types for always being my awesome starter and dark and ghost types for just being cool.

TEAM BLUE April 2nd, 2012 12:34 PM

I love Water type...Although my team is mostly made up with my favorite Pokemons and just a one Water Type...T___T


Although someone did say a long time ago that there where too many Water Types in Pokemon...I haven't played Pokemon Black and White so i do not know if this is true now...:/

Jobrjo April 2nd, 2012 12:59 PM

@ TEAM BLUE
"As of Generation V, there are 109 Water-type Pokémon or 16.80% of all Pokémon, making it the most common of the seventeen elemental types."

Hilbert April 3rd, 2012 6:23 AM

Psychic... It suddenly grow into me since I saw Sabrina and her Abra

Nick April 7th, 2012 8:00 AM

Either dragon, flying, psychic, or steel. It changes way too much and I'm too indecisive to choose between the four.

Jobrjo April 11th, 2012 9:20 AM

So now here we are at 36. Yet ???, Electric, Ground, Normal, and Rock still have 0. Any comments on that?

Turn-it April 11th, 2012 11:21 AM

Psychics are winning in the polls right now! WOOT! I love psychics but also dark and electric. I am so used to dealing with psychics it's second nature. I know they have weak defense but man I can't help but love that special attack! :D :D :D But I have to admit, fire types are growing on me.

Zephele April 11th, 2012 12:04 PM

I can't choose between Electric, Bug and Water. Bug's only a recent favourite, mostly because of the awesome additions in Gen 5, but also since I've actually tried to put one on my team after dismissing them as being weak for so long.

I like Water since it's a pretty nice defensive type, which matches well with all the bulky Pokemon out there. I also like having someone on my team who can use STAB Surf or Waterfall, and not have to depend on an HM slave. Therefore, I almost always end up having a Water-type on my teams.

As for Electric, well, a lot of my favourites just happen to be Electric-type. Mareep very commonly finds a spot in my team. I just find it too irresistibly cute.

BRS April 11th, 2012 7:48 PM

I Like water types cause they are defensively and offensive. my suicune likes walls a lot out of my friends i battle. I just get up some Calm Minds and sweep his team with scald/surf. Blastioce <3

After thinking about it, I can deduce why ??? is so low, besides the point it's so mysterious that it doesn't even have letters, and that it's only related to Curse (???-type until Gen. V, where it was made Ghost), Eggs (they were ???-type in Gen. III), Weather Ball (it's ???-type if used during Shadow Sky, Arceus (it does have a ???-type form, but it cannot be used without hacking), and Roost (in Gen. IV, it made the use ???-type after using; this was changed to Normal-type in Gen. V). It's the fact that it was removed in Generation V. Unfortuantly, it is no longer a type.

Archenoth April 13th, 2012 11:57 AM

For me it was a toss up between Water Types and Ice Types... I ended up voting the latter though. There is something to be said for a type that has as many weaknesses, and yet still manages to often be as offensively positioned as the Ice type is. It also destroys the oh-so powerful Dragon types.

Just look at Weavile for example.

Also the place which you find them usually is awesome, I have always loved Ice and cold areas in games, they look serene, pure, fresh, and brutal.

Jarred0809 April 13th, 2012 12:12 PM

FIRE! There's nothing better than a oneshot with Flamethrower.
http://kaszpir.hlds.pl/4chan/kill.it.with.fire.gif

Ephemeral Euphoria April 13th, 2012 12:19 PM

I'd have to go with Flying nowadays, the range of personal favorites I can choose from that type like Dragonite and Mandibuzz to name a few are nearly endless lol.

Jobrjo April 13th, 2012 3:55 PM

Why do people keep saying flying, yet it still has only 1 vote (me) ??????

mikey April 13th, 2012 4:11 PM

I've always been a fan of ice. Most of my favorites are ice types, so yeah.

viccuh April 16th, 2012 12:19 PM

I'm definitely going with the grass-type. The're usually gentle and intelligent, plus Venusaur, Meganium, Sceptile, Ludicolo, Tropius (need I say more).

HeracrossIsBoss April 16th, 2012 1:07 PM

Bug/fighting:laugh: Heracross all the way =D

blackmorale April 21st, 2012 7:50 PM

Dragon, since moves under this category are pretty strong (except Twister, probably. I hate that move :U). Also, dragon-type Pokemon aren't common and they can learn moves of many types.

Lilienne April 21st, 2012 8:44 PM

Definitely Dark-type Pokemon. I've always been fascinated by them, especially when I saw Tyranitar for the first time.

xawesomatorx April 21st, 2012 10:56 PM

fire is awesome... Charizard and Infernape are beast...

Rodeo April 21st, 2012 11:02 PM

Fighting all the way! I think it's mainly because of the widespread advantages it has against certain types. That, and the designs of Infernape, Toxicroak, Poliwrath, Emboar, Heracross, and Breloom add to the coolness factor.

garjora April 22nd, 2012 2:35 AM

My favourite type is ghost since my favourite Pokémon is Drifblim.

HypnoStealsChildren April 22nd, 2012 10:05 PM

Psychics...With Poison and Grass types tied for second.

Captain Fabio April 23rd, 2012 11:57 AM

Mine always has been and always will be Ghost.
Ever since the first games, one of my favourite Pokemon in those games was Gengar. I loved Lavander Town, the creepy music, the feeling of a back story behind the town and so on.

One of my favourite locations in the Pokemon world.


mastsethi April 27th, 2012 11:06 AM

Favorite type of Pokemon
 
So what's your favorite type and why?

EarthWolfblade April 27th, 2012 11:30 AM

[SIZE="a"]Dark. No reason. I just like it[/SIZE]

CliveKoopa April 27th, 2012 11:50 AM

I don't have a single favourite type of pokemon, I like all kinds of pokemon and pokemon types.

Asuf April 27th, 2012 1:43 PM

I like my Water types, there are plenty of good choices when it comes to water Pokemon and I nearly always use the water starter 3/5 GEN's.

Lonely_LizardX2 April 27th, 2012 2:25 PM

Fire. Since the first time I got Charizard, it's always been fire types that are my favorite.

EGKangaroo April 29th, 2012 3:25 AM

For me, it often tends to fluctuate. I could say grass-types are my favourite, but that alone wouldn't do justice to all the other types I absolutely love too. I tend to like pokémon design-wise, and not as much for their specific typing, however, grass-types are an absolute joy to have as they're a real breeze to train. A lot of their moves are based around regeneration and taking the HP of the opponent, so I hardly have to go to a poké centre as often as I would with other types during some level grinding sessions, but I also reserve a special place for Electric-types, Psychic-types, Water-types, practically any type I could think of. But yeah, Grass-types probably take the cake on this one.

vaporeon7 April 29th, 2012 11:57 AM

My favourite type is water because my favourite Pokémon, Vaporeon is a water type. Also I pretty much love all water types. Hydro Pump is my favourite move also and Misty is my favourite Gym Leader.

ShadowStriatonTriad April 29th, 2012 12:06 PM

Ice!
 
My favorite type has always been Ice because I love the Winter and Ice-Type Pokemon tend to be gorgeous most of the time. Example- Arcticuno, Suicune, Kyurem, Vanillite, Cryogonal, etc.

appletechGodjuice April 30th, 2012 10:44 AM

Hm, I really like fire types. I'm also fond of ice and electric, but fire's always been there.

mastsethi May 3rd, 2012 5:48 AM

Dragons! For sure..
Its the survival of the fittest and they are the strongest..

Pieman50 May 3rd, 2012 6:51 AM

Rock.

They have probably the most obvious weaknesses to any other pokemon, seeing as Grass/Water-types are generally common...

HOWEVER.. they almost always prove to be the strongest physical walls. :)

Ducklighter May 3rd, 2012 4:31 PM

I've always loved Fire types and every game I've played, I've chosen the fire type. XD

xGunLuis May 4th, 2012 7:04 PM

i choose ice because there are so many awesome ice pokemon like Glaceon my favorite and Articuno :D

fishfish May 4th, 2012 9:48 PM

I love a bit of the fire and dragon types, arcanine, charizard, Dragonite, salamence :D

Sakura Rain May 4th, 2012 10:15 PM

uguu you're making me choose

um well Arcanine is my favorite pokemon ever

but I loveeeee grass types in general mother earth and all that and plus Torterra

so I'd have to go with Grass asdfjkl. With Fire at a very close second, and Psychic and Ground tied for third.

infersaime May 5th, 2012 1:15 AM

Fire is my favourite type by far I love how dangerous they are.

MEGAS May 5th, 2012 3:07 AM

Fire. I have always love fire, and have a fiery passion. BLAZIKEN!

Derpy.H May 5th, 2012 3:17 AM

Ghost-type pokemon. I just love them... (Haunter being my favourite)

Cid May 5th, 2012 3:24 AM

First off, very single starter of the Water-type is awesome. The HMs typed with good 'ol H2O are useful and immensely powerful, if not the strongest of the bunch. Even without that, Water-type legendaries like Kyogre never fail to be awesome. Water-type Gym Leaders are all cool, too. Most importantly, my favourite Pokémon of all-time is a Water-type. I don't know what other type I would pick over it as my favourite, so this question is easy to answer.

It's Fire. Wait no, I've always been a Water-type fan so Water it is.

ZalelikesCookies May 7th, 2012 10:25 PM

Water definitely. My favourite Design (sprite-wise) is Wartortle and Water seems so Majestic.

Frazzevous May 9th, 2012 5:50 AM

I can't decide between Fire and Ice because they're beautiful elements in real life, but my vote goes to the former due to it being originally my only favorite.

Mr Cat Dog May 11th, 2012 10:12 AM

Out of all my favourite Pokemon, 3 of them are Water-based (Lapras, Kingdra and Milotic) and another is always one I always have fond memories of (Lanturn). I also find Surfing and fishing in the games very relaxing, and most Water critters normally end up having cool designs, due to the inherent 'fish'-like nature most of them originally come from. Sure, there are a lot of crappy Water critters as well, but that's always going to be the case when Water makes up nearly 17% of all Pokemon!

Mr155555 May 11th, 2012 11:50 AM

Water Since My Signature Pokemon Is A Water Pokemon So Why Not Choose Water Type

Ho-Oh May 22nd, 2012 2:58 AM

Fighting. There is literally nothing better than fighting, well, yes psychic beats fighting BUT overall, fighting attacks and fighting Pokemon are basically the best imo. Plus I love physical attackers.

lovebear May 23rd, 2012 6:49 AM

I've always been a fan of ground, ice and fire for their offensive prowess.

Until I had the privilege to command a Sweeper Starmie under the rain. After countless OHKO Hydro Pumps... I never looked back. Water ftw.

darkrai1018 May 23rd, 2012 7:50 AM

Ground types for me. tyranitar is my favorite.

Apollo May 24th, 2012 7:01 PM

Psychic for me. I love their attacks and their various abilities, such as telekinesis etc etc

Brendino May 27th, 2012 12:18 AM

Lately I've been using a lot of Bug types, but I don't know if I'd go as far as saying that it's my favorite.

If I was to pick one in general that I've used a lot, I'd have to go with Steel as my favorite.

LadyFaust May 27th, 2012 12:30 AM

It's impossible for me to pick just one!
I am equally fond of dragon, ice, psychic and ghost types.

Plusleminun May 27th, 2012 3:05 AM

Dragon is my favorite, most of the Dragon type Pokémons look really great and are very strong physical attackers. :)

ixin May 27th, 2012 7:26 AM

I gotta say, my favorite is probably ghost type. While reuniclus is my favorite poke, I don't like most psychics. Therre are some really cool ghosts, like Chandelure, Gengar, and Golurk.

Killjoy May 27th, 2012 7:30 AM

I like the dragon type. Out of all the types, I've had the most fun using them, especially in my dragon only team

Jobrjo May 29th, 2012 6:03 PM

You do realize Tyranitar is Rock/Dark, right?

Zeruis June 14th, 2012 8:52 PM

I've grown to like normal types. The designs for them are great, and they can learn a very wide range of diverse attacks.

Oryx June 16th, 2012 9:48 PM

Surprised Dragon isn't higher.

Anyway mine is Psychic, I love a lot of Psychic types and it's really popular among legendaries which is another plus. Mew <3

Ice-Dragon June 17th, 2012 11:42 PM

My favourite is Ice. I wish there were more Ice types made though.

Ninjagon June 18th, 2012 1:24 AM

My favourite would be (surprising to me!) would have to be the electric type. Jolteon is my favourite Eeveelution and i use it somewhere on my teams due to its very good sweeping abilities. Dragon comes at Second with Fire because Hydreigon is my favourite pokemon and Charizard has a place in my heart ever since i made that choice on which would be my very FIRST starter.

Ultimate Uchiha June 19th, 2012 5:49 AM

I've always been a huge fan of electric type Pokemon. For the most part, they are all good in some way with a few useless ones like Plusle,Minun and Stunfisk.

Lt. Col. Fantastic June 21st, 2012 3:43 PM

Ghosts, hands down.

Destiny bond, confuse ray, subpunch, toxic, the list goes on. Simply the best mindcontroll pokemon.

katiedawn121 June 30th, 2012 10:16 AM

It's always a toss-up between Water & Psychic with me ... I went Psychic this time. :)

SupremeSeeker June 30th, 2012 10:23 AM

If it's a two type I would choose Electric/Dragon.
But if just one type I would choose Dragon just because most of the dragon pokemon look really awesome and they're resistant to most of the types.

Abi~ July 5th, 2012 1:32 AM

What is your favorite and least favorite type?
 
Personally, I really like electric and fire. I'm not sure if there's a type I actively dislike, but I'm curious what everyone else will say.

Olli July 5th, 2012 4:25 AM

I've always loved Water type Pokémon, as they're the ones I've found to have the best designs, often being all colourful and all, and most of them have access to really diverse movepools too, so definitely a win in this situation. It may not be the typing that holds the strongest Pokémon, however almost everyone has probably had a Water type in their team in most of their playthroughs unless they're doing some kind of challenge.

My least favourite type would probably be Ghost types. I've always found them to be pretty cheap Pokémon, with having complete immunity towards a few typings, and not having that many weaknesses, like with Spiritomb who isn't weak to any typings at all.

Mentalii July 5th, 2012 5:02 AM

My favourite type is the water type, I can't have game without a water Pokémon in my team (anyway I always choose the water type).

And my least favourite is the grass type. Actually, I don't dislike the grass-type, I just choose it because I have to choose, there is a lot of grass Pokémon I love.
