Dualik October 29th, 2013 2:28 PM

I loved the litwick line, no particular reason it simply appealed to me. Zoroark and Bisharp are two more contenders, dark being one of my favourite types, it was nice to see some powerful looking pokemon join the ranks.

Atomic Pirate October 29th, 2013 2:38 PM

Chandelure. While I'm usually not too fond of object-based Pokemon, Chandelure was so wonderfully designed that I couldn't not appreciate it. As my username would suggest, I also like the Elgyem line.

Relica October 30th, 2013 3:50 PM

Darmanitan a million times over! The fire ape thing just won me over and the fact it hits like a truck makes me happy as well. It's ability is great, its design I like, and it's just overall an extremely useful Pokemon in both a normal/challenge playthrough of the generation 5 games and can preform fairly well in competitive under the right circumstances. I just have nothing but love for it.

[Lucian] October 30th, 2013 4:30 PM

Reshiram for me, it looks so noble, plus it's fire and dragon, two of my three favorite types.

Pilkie October 30th, 2013 5:02 PM

Zorua. It just screams mischievous little rogue. Its adorable, pretty tough and a well made pokémon altogether. Zoroark is also pretty neat.

xseed October 30th, 2013 7:49 PM

Reniculus... Psychic is one of my favorite types so its only natural. Plus it makes a great addition to trick room teams due to its slow speed and high sp.attack. not to mention it has a large move pool as well. also that magic guard is a really useful abillity. I also like Piroutte as well(psychic types are so amazing). Her design is so elegent. Plus she can learn that dance move which changes her forms(very unique) and useful for tripping up opponents. other favorites include:

-Cicciccino(so cute and so tough at the same time. hard name to spell though)
-Volcarona (really love the design of it. and has a nice sp.atk and nice movepool)
-Keldeo( really love its unicorn design. and I really like its typing)
-Chandellure(great design and stats.)
-Victini(extremelly cute. amazing move pool. the amazing 100 stats. what is their to hate about it.)

poke_freak268 October 30th, 2013 10:13 PM

Id have to say Emboar is my favorite 5th gen pokemon

Emboar is my favorite fifth gen pokemon.

xseed, even though relinculis is a good pokemon it is the most tedious pokemon to faint without a dark type. I hated it during B/W elite four \ /

jazzykurl November 3rd, 2013 2:28 PM

Oshawott or the Tepig evolution line ^^ I'm just weird like that, I also found emolga pretty good~

Batty November 3rd, 2013 2:35 PM

Archeops. I love Archeops and I just wish it didn't get such a stupid ability. That thing has no benefits at all.

Syltti November 4th, 2013 12:32 PM

Lilligant. Easily Lilligant.

it'sprok

Trainer Galza November 4th, 2013 4:37 PM

I cant really pick out just one.. and its mostly a close call between Zoroark, Bisharp and Golurk.. mostly for different reasons..

Zoroark is such a fantastic dude, with his ability.. you can easily mask him almost prefectly as a different pokemon on your team.. with like corresponding moves and all of that.. and your opponent would be none the wiser. I dig stuff like that.

Bisharp has an interesting typing that works well for me in most situations. In Black, he has basically my signature false swipe/catching guy. He also looks pretty amazing in X/Y with blades that retract in and out of his arms.

Golurk just looks cool.. and also happens to have a pretty good typing.. at least when it comes to offense. Its just a shame that while he has a cool ability, it's always unstabbed and his stats are a bit of a disappointment. My Golurk in X/Y made it all the way to 100, which would be the first time in years that I actually leveled someone to max.. but that was mostly because of horde encounters and earthquake.. and also having the AI continue to try to use moves on him that don't work (fighting/normal and the like)

braixen November 5th, 2013 8:11 PM

i have a tie between zorua/zoroark and scolipede, i really loved both of them!! i just think scolipede is so cute and chubby while zoroark is so cool and dark ~__~

damientheomen3 November 5th, 2013 8:13 PM

The Pawniard line. I'm much more of a design kind of guy than a usefullness kind of guy (Shuckle is my second favorite pokemon, for example), and I just think the Pawniard line looks awesome.

TheGr8 November 5th, 2013 9:46 PM

Hydregion and Conkeldurr are my two favorites from Gen 5. I loved the look of them and how strong they are, poor Hydre now though

Batty November 6th, 2013 12:01 AM

Zoroark. I didn't love or hate any of the Gen 5 designs, but I find Zoroark and Archeops fairly appealing.

anonemuss101 November 6th, 2013 12:38 AM

I have to say Accelgor, Bisharp and Druddigon for me. Although i also like Zorua\Zoroark, these are my favorite.

TouretteUnicorn November 6th, 2013 2:28 AM

Serperior here.

I remember thinking how cool its design was, and after using Serperior especially with its hidden ability-- it basically grew on me. This attachment grew after seeing it in the anime with how quickly it moved.

Text November 6th, 2013 5:40 AM

I like Chandelure, Vanniluxe, Bisharp and Zoaroark

Thief November 6th, 2013 10:57 AM

Well my favourite type is Dark, and this gen managed to make 3 Darks that crawled their way to 3rd, 5th and 6th place in my favourites overall.

Hydreigon, Zoroark & Bisharp respectively.

Overall best out of these is Hydreigon though, 'cause Dragon is my second favourite type and I was overjoyed when I saw they'd finally made a Dark/Dragon.

:t262:

Faygrim November 7th, 2013 7:55 AM

Meinshoa, Gothorita (but not gothotelle), Lilligant and Bisharp. i might also like Kyurem since its typing is so....top.

RimasLT November 9th, 2013 6:51 AM

Serperior , Liligant,Maractus,Simisage, Darmanitan & Gothorita

ilias_ November 28th, 2013 5:35 PM

Gen 5 introduced a lot of new Pokemon!! One of my favorites is Leavanny!!

http://pokesplash.net/resources/art/542.png



I like its type. I find Bug/Grass so interesting!

Outlier November 28th, 2013 8:30 PM

Zekrom the most badass looking dragon to date.

Arrow November 29th, 2013 2:00 PM

I to an extreme liking to Chandelure. Most object-based Pokemon don't tend to be that good design wise, but Chandelure is an exception. It's wonderfully designed!

I also liked Zorua, Oshawott, Tepig, Zebstrika and of course, the Lillipup family. They're always on my team.

Stealth_MadAboutPokemon December 1st, 2013 2:38 AM

A hard one. I really like Bisharp, but Reuniclus is also one of my faves...

TheBigMan0706 December 1st, 2013 5:00 AM

I really like snivy. Heck, it's my icon on this site

Orifiel December 1st, 2013 5:03 AM

Bisharp. Thanks for asking ;)

Broken.Promise. December 1st, 2013 5:57 AM

I have an insane amount of love for Galvantula. Electric/Bug and somehow made spiders cute? AND JOLTIK IS EVEN CUTER I CANNOT DEAL

Venitardus December 1st, 2013 7:06 AM

Serperior, Krookadile, Scrafty, Haxorus, Carracosta and Victini are my favorites, which also include their evolutionary line (obviously victini doesn't have one).

Blueredemption December 1st, 2013 8:35 AM

I would have to say zoroark. It was good for the elete four and ended up being my first lv 100 in the game.

White Raven December 1st, 2013 10:01 AM

Hydreigon (Is that how you spell his name?)
The three-headed awesomeness.

T The Manager December 1st, 2013 10:19 AM

As a whole I hate the V gen Pokemon but Zoroark is pretty sweet.

Feunard December 1st, 2013 12:06 PM

Lilligant is the only one that immediately comes to mind. I've always been a sucker for the cutesy pokemon ^^

Pryze December 1st, 2013 12:23 PM

Chandelureeeeee <3

I love that thing so much, easily one of my three favorite Pokemon.

Gourang December 2nd, 2013 1:51 AM

Excadrill, Just love him.

I like Darmanitan too as well as Scrafty

IIDXSODA December 2nd, 2013 6:56 AM

Oshawott and Lilligant <3

ShieldWolf27 December 2nd, 2013 10:12 AM

Scraggy is probably at the top of my list. Snivey and Leavanny are both up there too.

Storm The Serperior December 2nd, 2013 12:01 PM

Serperior of course! It's elegant, cool, fast and strong! (Well, mine is.

大輔 December 2nd, 2013 3:09 PM

Serperior and Stoutland~ I really like noble looking pokemon, and they both definitely fit in that category

greenreaper December 3rd, 2013 11:53 PM

Hydreigon, Lilligant, Chandelure, Serperior and Sigilyph, :D

I can't name all of them coz I have a lot of faves :P

Quinn December 4th, 2013 1:14 AM

Chandelure, or Emboar. Chandelure for competitive play, Emboar because of it's fire beard.

LilyAnn December 4th, 2013 2:33 PM

I love Hydreigon. It looks really awesome and has 3 heads. What's not to like about the pokemon? I also love Meloetta. It's by far one of the cutest pokemon in the whole series (after Celebi)

Crabbit December 5th, 2013 5:50 PM

Haxorus and Hydreigon, I've always been a fan of dragons.

MidknightBlu December 5th, 2013 6:04 PM

To be entirely honest, I totally disliked Gen 5 with one exception.

Joltik.

I don't know why I fell in love with the little guy so much. Just seeing him made me want to actually be able to have one in real life over any other pokemon, even now with Gen 6. He's just adorable. :D

Harmonious Fusion December 5th, 2013 6:37 PM

Victini, Vanillite (really!), and the Litwick line.

Shadeh December 5th, 2013 6:58 PM

Well honestly....I think you all can tell by now, (Profile picture, Signature)

shongshong123 December 7th, 2013 12:22 AM

i like tepig. pig pokemon :D

CelticsPhan December 7th, 2013 6:43 AM

Serperior is the first Grass starter I have ever used because it is best-looking out of the final evo's
Spoiler:
Sorry Emboar, you're WAAAAAY overdesigned
In my opinion, the Gen 5 pokemon turned out better than expected. I like using Victini and Bisharp a lot, Hydreigon is cool, and Zoroark looks nice. I feel like I'm forgetting some though. Kyurem B and Reshiram are quality looking legendaries.

Star11Pika December 8th, 2013 2:52 AM

Scraggy and Snivy there soo cuties! And when they evolve they will become powerfull too :D

Capitão Coffee in Hell December 8th, 2013 8:38 AM

My favourites are my black 2 walkthrough team

Samurrot, Excadrill, Galvantula, Unfeazant, Chandelure and Haxorus! xD

isthatyoudan December 8th, 2013 8:42 AM

I will say...
Oshawott and Dewott
Lampent
Hydreigon
Pansage and simipour (the best of the six monkeys :D)
and herdier, but only because he had a cool accent in mystery dungeon.

SacrosantSaint December 8th, 2013 3:26 PM

Now, not being a huge fan of Gen 5. (Though it's still really good.) Would probably have to be, Samurott. Just with it's awesome design and dat unicorn horn :3 It's an overall beast.

BobTheImam December 9th, 2013 9:14 AM

Hated the new pokemon, but thought the game overall was very well made. I like Ferrothorn and Archeops the best.

GlaciaTaso December 10th, 2013 3:25 AM

Hydregion is my favorite as well.

Xx_Dark_99_xX December 10th, 2013 4:09 AM

Axew
Haxorus
Hydregion

Three of My Favorites, but I didn't like the starters.

Synerjee December 10th, 2013 5:00 AM

I have many, many favourites which I hardly can decide from, but my vote goes to Eelektross. This Electric-type paired with its fantastic Levitate ability enables it to be completely free of any weaknesses. It can function both as a powerful physical or a special attacker thanks to its similar attack and special attack stats, and has the perfect moves to go with whichever one chooses - Thunderbolt with Acid Spray or Wild Charge with Coil. It also learns Flamethrower. Imagine an Electric-type that learns Flamethrower! It's really rare, that's for sure. That's as good as it can get already. Even with tough competition to face, Eelektross can surely put out a good fight.

Oragtto December 14th, 2013 11:24 AM

Scraggy and Scrafty, they always appealed to me in some way( well all of 5th gen pokemon do). Maybe because I used to live I saw people sagging all over, I hate sagging so these pokemon should have a negative affect on me. But for some reason they don't, it's quite the opposite :0

kanakinz. December 14th, 2013 11:57 AM

My favorites were Chandelure and Whimsicott :pink_love:
For B/W, I wish they didn't do all gen 5 pokes. I dislike most of them.

Skybro December 14th, 2013 5:57 PM

Dewott.
(Yeah,who would've guessed?)

Shining Raichu December 14th, 2013 10:31 PM

I think, having thought about it for a grand total of 10 seconds, I like Frillish/Jellicent the best. Water/Ghost is a great idea.

Only the blue one though, I don't care for the pink one.

Arc December 14th, 2013 11:02 PM

Lilligant is a cut above the rest for me. Just look at her, she's adorable! Plus Chlorophyll + Quiver Dance is amazing.

These guysasda XD

Ribbon December 16th, 2013 12:30 PM

From Generation 5, I'd have to say there are quite a few favorites.

The whole Litwick evolution line is pretty awesome. I like the typing and its design.
I loved emolga. Especially after the episode in the anime where she tricks everyone with attract!
Vanilluxe at it's pre-evolutions, because, well, it's a freaking ICE CREAM pokemon!
Whimsicott... because it's so cute and it has the prankster ability.
And cubchoo because I have a soft spot for cute little teddy bear pokemon. *___*

Aeroblast December 19th, 2013 10:44 AM

Petilil line is probably my favorite in Gen V.

Koopa_T December 19th, 2013 11:26 AM

I started to gather up Pokemon in my Black version. The adventure is fun, but not many Pokemon are useful or maybe it's the design on some.

I like Unfezant, Excadrill, Seismitoad, Krookodile, Cofagrigus, Archeops, Bisharp, Gothitelle, and Zekrom.

Pokemon I do not associate with very much are Liepard, Simisear, Musharna, Leavanny, Swanna, Alomomola, Klinklang, Mandibuzz, and Durant...

Rintaro Tachibana December 20th, 2013 2:16 AM

I gotta go with Haxorous, it has a pretty badass design and I find it to be a pokemon where you can have an old fashioned brute power showdown.

Volt202 December 25th, 2013 7:41 PM

Galvantula is my personal favorite.

V-Create December 31st, 2013 3:05 AM

Tynamo and Cubchoo.. Cubchoo is just so :"3
Tynamo looks like a really badass transparent tadpole eel.
I hate the way it turns into some sort of green catfish+eel ensemble though..
it doesn't look like it was derived from Tynamo.

Toxicroak's Poison Jab January 1st, 2014 9:00 AM

I really liked Braviary and Carracosta

Nah January 2nd, 2014 6:18 PM

My favorite Gen 5 Pokemon?

It's so obviously not Zekrom /pitiful attempt at sarcasm

Chr. Draco January 4th, 2014 2:25 PM

mine would probably be samurott, i like it's samurai like design.
in legends probably between cobalion, terrakion and reshiram (for me shiny reshiram looks more epic than it's normal counterpart).

Nick January 4th, 2014 11:48 PM

Scrafty and Reuniclus are among my all time favorite Pokémon, so they obviously take the cake for me.

curiousnathan January 5th, 2014 12:48 AM

Reuniclus, Beartic and Scrafty are my favourite Pokemon of the fifth generation.

Deceit January 5th, 2014 1:15 AM

Hmm...
I'd say Genesect was one of my favorites, and definitely favorite event/legendary of 5th gen. As for normal pokes, Galvantula is my favorite by far. I guess I just have a thing for bug types. Some other notable ones are Mienshao, Haxorus, Accelgor, and Whimsicott.

realdonnyv January 5th, 2014 5:31 AM

Krookodile. Used a moxie Krookodile my first play through and he swept everything. Amazing in game, grest design.

Corvus of the Black Night January 5th, 2014 9:20 AM

I am a huge mandibuzz fantard. True fact.

AzzyFox January 5th, 2014 3:11 PM

Zoroark has been my favorite Gen 5 Pokemon since Black and White were first announced. =)

obZen January 5th, 2014 7:11 PM

Volcarona, Swoobat, and Woobat <3
Idk why, I was obsessed with Swoobat from the moment I evolved my Woobat.
I have Swoobat as my avatar here, and on two other forums.

Nolafus January 5th, 2014 11:02 PM

Since Black was my first pokemon game, I'm a fan of just about any gen 5 pokemon. However, my favorites of the bunch include Gigalith, Swoobat, Zebstrika, Volcarona, and of course, Serperior. There are a few I forgot right now, but it's a start.

Talon January 6th, 2014 5:41 AM

Mine would have to be Bisharp. He looks badass, and isn't that bad a battler either. I use him every time I go through a Unova game.

SincerestTester January 6th, 2014 5:57 AM

Probably Reuniclus or Hydreigon/Haxorus. They are powerhouses in most of my teams.

Slaying Moon January 6th, 2014 6:47 AM

I'd have to say Meloetta Aria Forme.

ObnoxiousOboe January 13th, 2014 6:24 PM

Swanna's definitely my favorite. She is basically the water powerhouse I have on my team. Also the fact I like swans makes a perfect chemistry.

I think Swanna's a great addition (even if you don't like Ducklett) to anyone's team, if you want a delicate balance of both cuteness and power!

RussianBoss January 13th, 2014 7:53 PM

I like Mandibuzz because of its surprising tankiness and Haxorus because it looks really BA

Outlier January 13th, 2014 8:18 PM

Zekrom by far! He's the only legitimately badass looking Dragon of any generation in my opinion. Most dragon Poke's look too cartoony.

doomguy January 16th, 2014 1:04 AM

My favourite has to be Sammurot - It's an otter with SWORDS!

Striandly January 19th, 2014 8:46 AM

Haxorus, because of its animation, but I shouldn't really explain because it's not really appropriate...

Sawk would be my next favorite because it's an awesome blue judo fighter. It's pretty unique and I like how it wears a robe and a belt.

Astraea January 19th, 2014 9:32 AM

Mine favourite is Male Unfezant because of his sprite and its one of the coooooolest 5th Gen Pokemon!

UniVolt January 19th, 2014 2:48 PM

I have a few.

Zebstrika - I'm always a fan of electric types
Krookodile - It's a giant red Croc.
Braviary
Zekrom - Looks amazing and is electric.

Dragonite1v1 January 19th, 2014 3:40 PM

This may be mainstream or may not be, it doesn't really matter to me. I enjoy Haxorus in 5th gen and is the only 5th gen pokemon in my main team...Really don't know why though. Just seemed to fit my personality i guess.

RaiderzEX January 27th, 2014 7:16 AM

Hydreigon definitely cos its a friggin hydra like monster

lackingdarkblade January 27th, 2014 5:24 PM

My favorite 5th gen pokemon is victini by all means c:

Tyranitarite January 27th, 2014 5:30 PM

Tie between Garbodor and Bisharp

DynamicD January 27th, 2014 8:01 PM

Reuniclus and Golurk are probably my favorites.

リザードン☆ January 28th, 2014 1:54 AM

My favourite fifth gen Pokémon would be Scraggy :D

Astraea January 28th, 2014 7:56 AM

I also liked Reshiram and serperior. Both look very royal.

Banz January 28th, 2014 8:11 AM

Meloetta, Lilligant, Volcarona

Puddle January 28th, 2014 8:27 AM

I really liked Krookodile, as I felt like he looked like the crocodile from the DK series.

Lethality February 2nd, 2014 6:45 PM

I've always been a fan of sinister looking Pokemon and Hydreigon was definitely my favorite in that regard. I also like it's unique typing even if it's not that great defensively.

eviljelly February 2nd, 2014 8:46 PM

I like Garbodor,Hydreigon,Sawsbuck,Genesect and Kyurem but my favorite is Cinccino

Garbodor, at first i didn`t like it that much because i thought muk ripoff, but its a little more inventive then muk, i mean muk is just sludge, Garbodor is a pile of trash, with glass shard teeth, pipe arms, a trash bag hood and it has little bunny ears for some reason :3

Hydreigon: No one needs to explain this one

Sawsbuck: it looks badass even with leaves growing off it horns, like a true buck, plus it looks more animalistic then most pokemon.

Kyurem: Its a giant zombie dragon that turns into an abomination by absorbing healthier dragons

Genesect: its a cyborg pokemon! and the first Bug type legendary.

Cinccino: My absolute favorite, its.....just so cute!
