Favorite Gen 6 Pokemon
 
Hello again everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening! Now that we've had a chance to experience some, if not most, of the Pokemon in X & Y. I wanted to know what are you guy's favorite or favorites? I haven't finished Y yet but my absolute two favorites are Malamar and Doublade. The two Pokemon play on two things i really love: Swords and Tentacles. Doublade is overlooked in favor for Aegislash (sp?) but I find that it can take hits very well and hits just as hard. And Malamar with Contrary is a thing of beauty. Reversal for stat changes make Superpower increases your power instead of crippling it. Color me impressed. Plus the both look so cool~ So what are you guy's favorite Gen 6 Pokemon?

Hiatus December 7th, 2013 3:04 AM

Chesnaught is definitely one of my favorite sixth-gen Pokémon. It's got a very intimidating-looking design, and is able to perform quite well when battling. Its Defense is extremely heavy, making it a great physical wall. Its Attack stat isn't that bad, either. Chesnaught may be a bit slower than most other Pokémon, but that's not such a huge deal; how you utilize it is all that matters. Thanks to the help of this Pokémon, I've been able to win tons of online matches. I'm a fan of Greninja, too, and also Mega Charizard Y. :)

TheRestlessSoul December 7th, 2013 3:12 AM

I really like Greninja and Aurorus to be honest :) Greninja's speed is ridiculous, not to mention that it looks awesome :P I haven't really had time to train many of the gen 6 pokemon so i'm not to sure about many others but these two stand out to me so far

ZetaZaku December 7th, 2013 3:25 AM

Gen VI has quite a lot of Pokemon I like. I'd say that my overall favorite is Pangoro, the Japanese delinquent panda. But I also like Doublade, Tallonflame, Greninja, Chesnaught, Delphox, Malamar, Tyrantrum, Avalugg (mostly because he was the best bro during E4), Pyroar, Goodra, Noivern etc. Basically every single Gen VI Pokemon.

I don't know if there's a single generation where I like so many Pokemon. Perhaps it was a great idea adding less Pokemon since now a majority is great. Instead of pushing some questionable designs, they only used the best they got.

scprepschool December 7th, 2013 3:27 AM

By design: Mega Mewtwo Y, Greninja, Florges, Sylveon,Tyrantrum,Meowstic,Mega Charizard X& Y, Dragaglge, Pumpkaboo, Goodra, Noivern, Xerneas

Firox December 7th, 2013 4:02 AM

By design, it's how I base what my favorite Pokemon will be, my top favorite Pokemon in Kalos is Meowstic. Such beautiful design they both have (male and female). As soon as I saw it's design on CoroCor I just fell in love with it.

The other Pokemon I also loved as soon as I saw it was Espurr. I just loved it!!

the other Pokemon I"m starting to like are Fennekin, Braixen, Delphox, Chespin, Quilladin,and Sylveon.

BadPokemon December 7th, 2013 4:38 AM

Vivillon is my favorite. It can be a surprisingly good sweeper( kind of). Quiver dance 1 or 2 times and, with compound eyes, will hit hurricane way more than 70% of the time. It has like 110 base damage.

Nah December 7th, 2013 5:52 AM

My favorite Gen 6 Pokemon are Greninja, Tyrantrum, Yveltal, Aegislash, and Sylveon. Amaura/Aurorus is friggin' adorable. And then there's Espurr, who's an appealing mix of creepy and cute.

And I like some of the mega evolutions, but those techinically aren't Gen 6 Pokemon.

Caiustheblack December 7th, 2013 6:22 AM

While tyrantrum looks so badass, Auroros is slightly better in competitive battles (according to me).I really love the design of malamar, heliolisk, hawlucha and trevenant :)

CelticsPhan December 7th, 2013 6:31 AM

I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the new Pokemon. Greninja and Tyrantrum were two designs that I've liked though. I wish Tyrantrum was a little better competitively, but I know for a fact that Greninja is Top 5 in usage because of THAT SPEED AND PROTEAN! Every team I've seen has one!

Arrow December 7th, 2013 7:01 AM

I'm basing my favorites by their design. Greninja is my favorite of the starters. He's so badass! I took a big liking to Meowstic, especially the female form. Both forms look so elegant... Sylveon is my favorite Eeveelution. Oh my gosh, it's so CUTE! I've also taken a liking to Pokemon that lots of others don't like such as Dedenne and Carbink. :)

Harmonious Fusion December 7th, 2013 7:06 AM

Sylveon is tied with Skitty for the position of my all-time favorite Pokemon. I'm also very fond of Vivillon. Pumpkaboo, Fennekin, and Diancie are great too.

Kikaito plush December 7th, 2013 7:58 AM

Pumpkinboo because it's an gaint pumpkin with wings.

Nashton December 7th, 2013 7:59 AM

I really dig that heliolisk since any weather he can be useful in.

I'd say I agree, but that wouldn't be fair to the generations I haven't (and won't) play(ed). Buying 4komas, though, I have an idea who came from gen 4 and 5, I just don't really care. I do feel like they scaled back a bit in this generation, though, by attempting to go the simple but standout route instead of adding unnecessary details that muck things up. To me, Kalos Pokemon feels like an extension of the Houen Pokemon (which for me is great considering I felt Houen had the best lot as far as intriguing but not too convoluted design goes, Earth/Water/Sky legendaries aside).

I haven't finished the game, very slow player here, so I can't give a final list of favorites. What I can say so far, though, is that I like the Flabebe family, Spritzee, all the starters and their middle evos, Greninja, Scatterbug and Vivillon, Fletchling and Fletchinder, Skiddo, Sylveon (gross flesh ribbons aside, cannot unthink that) and Honedge. Haven't gotten much further out than that.

My number one all time standout favorite of this generation? Aromatisse. I liked her design the moment I saw it, but playing with her is a whole other thing, both in battle and in Amie. I wanna give her a big hug but then I'd be a feathery, perfumy mess. ;_;

Natorat December 7th, 2013 8:53 AM

Aegislash is awesome. I love swords and sorcery, and ghost is my favorite Pokemon type. Meowstic is really cute. I think Gen VI has the best designs since Gen I.

Sabrewulf238 December 7th, 2013 9:44 AM

My absolute favourite from this gen is Malamar, I knew it would be difficult to top ever since I saw him in corocoro. I love his design and typing.

After that my other favourites from this gen would be Dragalge, Pumpkaboo, Hawlucha, Trevenant, Delphox, Barbaracle, Flabebe, Meowstic, Pyroar and Xerneas. (In that order)

Even after those the only ones I dislike/don't get is Litleo and Aromatisse. Overall a great gen for designs.

In terms of the mega evolutions, the only one I love is mega mawile. I like a few others sorta but not on the same level as mega mawile.

stresszilla December 7th, 2013 10:03 AM

Hawlucha is my favourite generation six Pokemon by far! It has a bad ass design, who doesn't like a luchador bird? It also has a great typing and the right tools to succeed at it's disposal!

DynamicD December 7th, 2013 10:06 AM

I absolutely adore Heliolisk, Noivern and Gogoat. Heliolisk, however, takes the #1 spot.

Deceit December 7th, 2013 10:39 AM

Definitely Noivern. At first, I thought it looked really weird, and just a loudred mixed with a dragon (which I do still think), but it has grown on me. Another favorite is Greninja and Aegislash. For Greninja, I just love frogs. And for Aegislash, I've been waiting for a Ghost/Steel type for a long time, and this one does particularly well competitively.

Drivillian December 7th, 2013 10:49 AM

Overall, I like this generation a lot. My favorite from this gen has got to be Tyrantrum though. I also really like Dragalge, Sylveon, and Meowstic.

KittenKoder December 8th, 2013 2:17 AM

Malamar for both battle and aesthetics. I love how people still try to knock it out with electric because it looks like a squid. Topsy-turvy can also wreck things, and it's move pool makes it a great partner in doubles.

Outlier December 8th, 2013 3:02 AM

It's a toss up between Greninja, Xerneas and Pancham.

Melonfrog December 8th, 2013 7:04 AM

Do Megas count? They were introduced this gen after all.
If so, Mega Mawile, Mega Garchomp, Mega Medicham and Mega Ampheros.

Natsu Dragneel December 8th, 2013 7:06 AM

if mega counts, Mega gengar <3

if not

i love my greninja <3

Pinkie-Dawn December 8th, 2013 7:53 AM

Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, Talonflame, Vivillon, Pyroar, Pangoro, Gogoat, Furfrou, Aegislash, Malamar, Heliolisk, Aruras, Tyrantrum, Sylveon, Hawlucha, Klefki, Trevenant, Noivern, Yveltal, and Zygarade. I still wish there was more new Pokémon to add up to 100.

Psywing December 8th, 2013 8:23 AM

I have not finished the game yet, but so far my favs are
Greninja
Tyrantrum
Pancham
Braixen

isthatyoudan December 8th, 2013 8:30 AM

I actually liked the appearance of my little frogger in his frogadier form.
I don't have any other favourites yet, just my frogadier!

Capitão Coffee in Hell December 8th, 2013 8:45 AM

Chesnaugh, Heliolisk,Clawitzer,Charizard x, Aurorus and Malamar are my team and they are awesome! I also like the legendaries except zygarde ( what the hell is that thing?!?! xD)

Zygarde is a serpentine organic supercomputer environmental activist.

Hikamaru December 8th, 2013 8:56 AM

My faves from Kalos include:

All the starters (Froakie's line especially), all the new Fairy-types, Espurr, Meowstic, Aegislash, Vivillon, Inkay, Malamar, Phantump, Dedenne, Goomy line, Helioptile line, Pancham line and Noibat line. The others aren't all bad though.

IcePrincess December 8th, 2013 1:16 PM

Aurorous, Doublade, Tyrantrum & Goodra.

VAHZZ December 8th, 2013 1:47 PM

uuuuuuu....tough oooone.
Mega counts? if so...Shiny Mega Gardevoir, black and blue looks so good on yooou.

If not, I'm lovin my shiny Quiladin soon to be chesnaught.

Fleshrott December 8th, 2013 2:16 PM

I love most of the new Pokemon,most of them have nice designs and are just great in battle, my favourites would be Phantump, Trevenant, Pumpkaboo, Gourgeist, Sylveon, Greninja, Aurorus and Tyrantrum, Aegislash... Too many to list, I love a lot of them.

Frazzevous December 8th, 2013 8:46 PM

Mm, let's see... Sylveon, Florges plus her pre-evos, Espurr line, Vivillon (especially her sun form, my cat), and Noivern. :3

Fitzsy December 8th, 2013 11:01 PM

Zygarde will pretty unambiguously be the third version Legendary, and of all the third version Legendaries (Rayquaza, Giratina, Kyurem in all its forms, Zygarde), Zygarde is by far my favorite. Its design doesn't go for anything badass or fierce, it's just... It is one of the most bizarre-looking Pokémon they've ever made, and that really appeals to me! It's not the most useful from a practical standpoint and its role (ancient flatworm Captain Planet I guess?) doesn't seem all that fleshed-out, but its intimidatingly creepy design makes up for these shortcomings that could be further overlooked by the addition of a Mega Evolution or two!

As far as non-Legendaries go, I've fallen in love with the royal motifs of Tyrantrum, and Bergmite is one of the cutest Pokémon I have ever seen!

Onto Mega Evolutions, Mega Gyarados only strengthens my love of that Pokémon, and Mega Banette has a creatively macabre look to it!

Twisted Cuteness December 8th, 2013 11:18 PM

pikachu

Delphox. I've heard a lot of hate for it, but it's a pretty neat starter, I've gotta say! I also love Pumpkaboo. It's super adorable

TheKantoKid December 8th, 2013 11:23 PM

Hmmm...I dont know if Megas Count...I mean the pokemon are evolving into something new but their names just get Mega in the front. You know what, for this discussion they can count :D

Lost Lore December 8th, 2013 11:48 PM

Meowstic and Noivern are sitting at the top of my list. The other four members of my planned team (Chesnaught, Aromatisse, Dragalge and Heliolisk) are very high up, too.

I'm quite partial to Delphox, Yveltal, Gogoat and Goodra, too.

Someone mentioned Mega Evolutions...? Manectric, Blaziken and Charizard X, on that note.

OMG Mega Gengar is awesome!!!

I would say I like Aurourus (sp?) and the starters for x & y are pretty neat. I love Sylveon too :)

Master Trainer Empoleon December 9th, 2013 8:42 AM

Sylveon and Talonflame hands down. Such beasts and such awesome designs.

King Zelos December 9th, 2013 8:20 PM

If I can only pick one, hands down it would be Pangoro! He is like Snorlax's little brother but more badass looking! If I were to pick my top three it would be:

1. Pangoro
2. Braixen
3. Xerneas

In terms of best Mega-Evolutions, I think Absol takes the cake.

ToWriteLove December 9th, 2013 8:29 PM

Goodra and Trevanent are my favorites. Favorite mega would be Mawile. :)

GlaciaTaso December 10th, 2013 3:27 AM

Greninja is my favorite pokemon.

Colress Machine December 10th, 2013 5:33 AM

Amaura and Aurorus are definitely my favorites. I bonded with my Amaura/Aurorus named Pandora in my Pokémon Y and he was the first Poke I maxed out the affection on.

ReginaNoctis December 10th, 2013 6:17 AM

I like most of the new pokémon, but especially these:

Espurr and Meowstic
The Goomy family - I hope to get a Goodra soon, but it never seems to be raining when I play so I currently have a lv 64 Sliggoo. :P
Phantump - not so fond of Trevenant, but Phantump is adorable.
Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist

Oh, and Mega Gengar is cool.

Chr. Draco December 10th, 2013 6:36 AM

I think my favorite could be the chespin evolution line (I think I spent too much time with them at pokemon amie). Grenninja also looks great and makes me remember of a megamanzero character (phantom).

Mega Missingno December 10th, 2013 7:39 AM

That's a no-brainer. Slyveon. Paws down. Always and forever my favorite 6th gen Pokemon.
And then Espurr and Meowstic. I don't know how people can say Espurr is creepy. Just look at it! It's adorable!

Nah December 10th, 2013 7:46 AM

Espurr IS a bit creepy. But its also the only thing to be both cute and creepy at the same time, which is why I like Espurr.

PlatinumDude December 12th, 2013 2:06 PM

My favorite Pokemon this gen is Greninja. Ever since it was leaked, I've taken a liking to its design, though the tongue scarf is unnerving at times. It's also good in battle.

I also like Aegislash, Xerneas, Tyrantrum, Goodra and Hawlucha.

WatermelonTango December 12th, 2013 2:54 PM

I'm a pretty big fan of Chesnaught myself. He's a gigantic porcupine that punches things. It is difficult to argue with that, isn't it?

I did however end up picking Froakie, mostly because I always choose the water starters and I wasn't aware of what the final forms looked like until my rival got one. Greninja is pretty awesome himself so I'm not too torn up over it.

kanakinz. December 12th, 2013 3:10 PM

I like quite a few of the new pokemon we were given!

Sylveon, Malamar, Noivern, Goodra, Aegislash, Meowstic, and Delphox are my favorites.

MeetMeInUtopia January 22nd, 2014 6:17 PM

I'm enjoying Chestnaught and Florges a lot. They are delightfully strong and useful.

VivaLaJam26 January 23rd, 2014 7:23 AM

Yveltal

I haven't really been into Pokemon since Silver/soul Silver, so not too sure which ones are new or not.

But I picked up Y because of Yveltal looking awesome!

Famon January 23rd, 2014 7:44 AM

Meowstic , Gourgeist ,Carbink , Pyroar etc !!!

Ars Arcanum January 23rd, 2014 10:08 AM

Pangoro is #1 for me. Instantly fell in love with Pancham as soon as i found one. Who doesn't love a fighting panda with a leaf in his mouth?

When he evolves he reminds me of Jet from The Last Airbender, so it just made me love him even more :)

リザードン☆ January 23rd, 2014 1:49 PM

It's Chespin for me, he's so cute and tough looking.
I watched the episode of the anime where Clemont adds Chespin to his party because of how much I liked him!
It definitely suits an Adamant or Brave nature :P

Hiatus January 23rd, 2014 3:05 PM

Sorry guys, but I'd have to lock this; it's against our rules to revive dead threads.
