What's your favorite 3rd generation Pokémon and why?
I recently saw a thread similar to this one but it didn't get a lot of attention, but it was a really good idea for a thread. This thread is a bit different than the one I saw because I want know your favorite Pokémon and why. My favorite Pokémon is Breloom because of its simple cool design and insanely high attack stat.
|
I like them all, it's hard to narrow it down to one Pokemon. Flygon maybe, because I remember seeing it in Jirachi Wish Maker for the first time and thought it was cool, and did drawings of it for fun because I loved its design.
|
My favourite has gotta be Absol, it was my favourite Pokemon overall for ages and I love its design and the lore surrounding it, even if its moveset isn't the greatest.
|
Hard to pick one, 3rd generation had my least number of favorites
the closest one to being my favorite this gen was Delcatty no foxes this gen, cats are close second, just love it's design, sounds so cyoot in the games, at times reminds me of one my own cats (I also love Skitty, Poochyena, Mightyena, Absol, and Zangose) |
If I had to choose between Sharpedo and Absol, I'd have to say Absol
Both are really great and I've had them both on my team a lot, but Absol is an absolute beast and I always have one when I'm taking on the E4. My lvl 100 Absol that I've used for almost the entirety of Omega Ruby (got it as a lv 1 from a friend) has 319 power Skitty is also awesome despite it not being too great stat wise |
Jirachi and Mudkip, both are cute and I have thing for mythical pokemon, so that's why Jirachi. But I like it overall, not just 'cause it's a mythical one.
|
Rayquaza, no contest, my fav of all time once I caught it all the way back in like 2005-06. Goddamn bliss swamping everything with dem offensive stats. Then along comes the god-tier mega, and everyone hates me for it :^)
|
Isn't obvious? *points to my username*
I seek out Pokemon that are not just capable but are also interesting for their appearance, the lore surrounding them or their parallel to real life forms in nature. I think everything about this Pokemon succeeds, its design, the concept of it being the Aphrodite of the Pokemon world, its near indestructability in battle and the many steps involved to obtain this Pokemon in the 3rd generation. After searching for a needle in haystack, finding something ugly, literally feeding it gold and caring for until you turn it into something beautiful through your hard work you've gone through a quest, and are rightly rewarded with the holy grail. After Milotic, Absol is my next favorite. |
I like the Ralts line, I like their design and always found them useful.
|
I am sure someone said Gardevoir
Exploud, Milotic, Swellow, Sceptile |
My favourite Hoenn Pokemon is Gardevoir. It has an elegant design and it's Shiny Mega may be best shiny in the entire series.
Honourable mention to Sceptile. My all-time favourite starter line and one of only two Masuda Shinys I have obtained. Fittingly my two favourite Megas are Sceptile and Gardevoir. |
It's hard for me to make preferences, however I can write down the torchic line and
poochyena are quite meaningful to me : -Torchic was my first starter ever, pretty self-explanatory -As for poochyena... well, poochyena was my first catch as well as my first legitimate shiny ever. My sister had just introduced me to pokémon games lending me her sapphire cartridge and assisted me capturing that poochyena. Sadly she wasn't quite used to poochyena and we pretty much left him in the PC box. Later I would've put him in the daycare to see his shiny evolution. As of now, the shiny mightyena with a terrible nickname is in my diamond game card. (and I also copied him on my Pokémon Essentials just because xP) |
I like Rayquaza because I think it is the best dragon type till gen 3.
|
Hm, if I were to pick an absolute favorite.... I'd say Swampert. I like all of the starters but there's just something about Swampert. Its power, its bulk.... It's just an amazing Pokemon.
|
Sceptile cause it has amazing speed and quite a powerful strike behind it.
|
I loved Hoenn very much! Hard choice. But..
http://pkmn.net/sprites/emerald/300.gif http://pkmn.net/sprites/emerald/359.gif http://pkmn.net/sprites/emerald/334.gif http://pkmn.net/sprites/emerald/376.gif http://pkmn.net/sprites/emerald/354.gif http://pkmn.net/sprites/emerald/385.gif Went with these in the end. Absol and Zangoose are just so cool, and Altaria has always been really angelic and pretty. Banette was the first mon I got to lv. 100 and I had such a fun time training it. Metagross is overall awesome. Jirachi and Skitty are too darn cute! |
Flygon. I love dragon types, and he was the first dragon pokemon I ever used.
|
For me, it'd certainly be Ludicolo. Love the carefree nature of the Pokemon, and the design of course.
|
Gotta be mudkip. Why? Because why not ;)
|
For me, it's the Mudkip line which is my fave starter of this generation. Other notable ones I love in this generation include Roselia (even moreso after it gained its evo in 4th Gen), Manectric, Altaria, Grumpig, Pelipper (thank god 7th Gen made it a god) and Breloom.
The legendaries were really good too, my faves out of them being the Latis. |
Altaria! It's super cute and fluffy, plus I like that it's a Dragon type and you would never know by just looking at it. You can teach it a lot of crazy moves and have a varying moveset with them, so I never get bored raising them. Altaria is just important to me in general, though. Swablu became the mascot for Challenges while I moderated it, so naturally I was the Altaria. :P
|
hands down blaziken. when ruby and sapphire were coming out i only knew the base form of the starters and besides that just wingull, duskull, and sharpedo. so when i started the game i truly didnt know what to expect. i went with torchic and when it evolved into combusken i was kind of disappointed. when it finally evolved into blaziken i remember thinking it had the coolest design and typing. imo easily a 10/10 pokemon
|
Swampert. I named my Swampert Bobo. I don't know why. Bobo was my first ever level 100 Pokemon, so wherever you are Bobo, I MISS YOU!
Huntail's design is epic, don't deny it. I love Breloom's design, and Manetric was awesome too. |
My favorite would easily be Gardevoir.
When I saw Wally catch a Ralts, I instantly loved its cute design and wanted to catch my own. It became one of my most valued team members, as it has a pretty good special attack. it was specially useful in ORAS because of its Fairy typing. It's even one of my all time favorite Pokemon, and it's my favorite shiny Pokemon. |
I like blaziken, because it has plenty of power, and it looks great.
Also don't forget absol, because it looks cool. The absol also has enough power. And my third favorite hoenn pokemon is Linoone, it's quite powerful. Only downside is the linoone cannot attack ghost pokemon, but i mitigated it with thundershock. |
