Mine will always be Jolteon! :D

But for this thread this is better off in Pokemon General and I'm going to scoot it over there. :)

Jezztron July 22nd, 2021 3:32 PM

Wow mine too)

I'll do you one better and give you my favorite from each gen with my fav legendary from that respective gen as a bonus (my favorite Mon tend to be the non legendaries so it's better I separate them)

Gen 1: Squirtle/Mewtwo
Gen 2: Ursaring/Entei
Gen 3: Skeptile/Kyogre
Gen 4: Leafeon/Giratina
Gen 5: Krookodile/Kyurem
Gen 6: Greninja/Yveltal
Gen 7: Komala/Solgaleo
Gen 8: Grookey/Kubfu

If I had to pick just one favorite, it would be Squirtle. My love for turtles transcends my love for Pokemon and they couldn't of designed Squirtle any better if they wanted to. If it wasn't for Squirtle I wouldn't be a Pokenerd. I would still like Pokemon but not nearly as much as I do. It was really hard to pick a favorite for gen 8 as I'm really not fond of this gen. I do love Grookey and Kubfu, but I don't like the looks of what they evolve into, so if I ever get SwSh I might Everstone it up with them

Goodra is my favorite

There are many Pokemon that I love, but two Pokemon especially: Pikachu and Raichu. Pikachu has a cute design, a cute voice, it was fun seeing it in the anime, I've got a giant Pikachu plush that has been with me for most of my life, and it's fun to use in the games, as it's fast and gets some nifty moves like Thunderbolt and Thunder Wave. However, Raichu is better to use in the games, as it's stronger, faster, and it can take hits better. Also, Alolan Raichu is even cuter than the regular Raichu, plus it's got a secondary typing and Psychic moves. Therefore, they're tied as my #1 favourite.

I guess I should've named myself RaichuMaster instead 🤣

Aslan July 23rd, 2021 6:54 AM

My favourite Pokemon ever is Arcanine but Gulpin is a close favourite. I don't have a special reason for liking Arcanine other than that I think it looks super cool. Happy to say I have plushes of both. :D

Due to its aesthetic and nostalgic value, I currently consider Wartortle my favorite. I remember writing a short story about it with my mom—Wartortle's Loose Tooth—and my Dad getting me a bootleg Wartortle (Southern Islands) sticker card from a vending machine. Those sticker cards are such a big part of my childhood and I honestly prefer them over a lot of my real cards. I also SR'd a Shiny Squirtle a few years ago, evolving her into Wartortle, and now I find myself rotating between her and Leafeon (another aesthetic favorite) as my lead.

Dunsparce is a really close second, especially Shiny Dunsparce, so close that it may as well be tied. It had been my mascot for years, having chained one with the perfect nature-ability combo in Pearl that I used for my first playthrough of HeartGold and kept on my team throughout the generations. These days I try to only use full-odds Shinies, but while I have found a full-odds one since, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to still use my original Shiny 'Sparce.

Top 10 (probably):
Spoiler:
10. Mothim (especially Shiny)
9. Omanyte
8. Luxio
7. Sneasel
6. Lickitung
5. Alolan Sandslash
4. Shedinja
3. Leafeon
2. Dunsparce (especially Shiny)
1. Wartortle

Corveone July 23rd, 2021 8:08 AM

Impossible for me to pick only one so, guess I'll do a titanic effort to pick only ten:

Froslass
Houndoom
Staraptor
Miltank
Honchkrow
Mismagius
Dusknoir
Ninetales (both forms)
Roserade
Mawile

There are a few Pokémon from recent gens that have potential to become my favorites as well, it's probably a matter of time, they just didn't grow on me as much as these older ones yet.

ReKoil July 23rd, 2021 8:35 AM

My top three is: Glaceon, Alolan Ninetales, Fennekin.

Sheep July 23rd, 2021 12:30 PM

Top 5 continue to be Flareon, Deoxys, Poipole, Cinccino, and Raichu. Love ❤️ Can’t forget precious Mareep and Wooloo though (since I know people will point it out aha).

colours July 24th, 2021 5:14 AM

shaymin!! always shaymin!! ❤

bulbasaur is #2, and then glaceon is #3. everything after that is kinda up in the air and changes.

Nah July 24th, 2021 1:22 PM

this glorious bitch:

And I imagine Zekrom will always be my favorite Pokemon

Gardevoir1 July 24th, 2021 1:56 PM

Glad they're getting lots of love!! I really like Gallade too but find myself using Gardevoir more and more when I have a Kirlia to evolve after the addition of Fairy Type. He's a good physical counter part to Gardevoir's special. Now that I think about it, I could run them both on the same team when doing a monotype run...

haha wow my rambling just gave me a great idea thanks!

LivelyNature August 2nd, 2021 8:21 PM

Torterra, Blastoise, Shaymin, Decidueye, Incineroar, Arcanine, Milotic, and many more lol

Roni August 4th, 2021 11:10 PM

Check my flair for my top 3 :3

Obichu August 6th, 2021 3:23 PM

Definitely have to go with Umbreon. I've used one in multiple games now, and it always seems to clutch where nothing else can. Plus the shiny version is really pretty.

Empoleon671 August 25th, 2021 7:58 PM

i just was about to make a thread. haha.

Empoleon. Easy. I have sentimental value and just genuinely think it's very cool ( you cannot tell me a emperor themed penguin in steel armor isn't cool okay )

1: fond memories in DPPT / HGSS using it. it carried me through Pearl's E4 and Platinum's E4, as well as my soulsilver run. i even lent it to my best friend to help him in his E4 in heartgold (we were like 11 at the time okay). RIP artic king the empoleon

2: no one else seems to have it as their favorite. it sort of makes it more unique to me since no one else loves it it seems as much as i do.

3: criminally underrated. imagine my surprise when empoleon of all pokemon was brought in to pokken.

4: the concept. maybe the tough poseidon motif emperor penguin doesn't suit you. i tend to like pokemon you can easily walk around with and ride, which i love how they do in pokemon ranger and the like.

5: it's still the sole Water/Steel, two of my favorite typings. i love how at the time everyone assumed it was going to be water/ice or water/flying, and essentially did a 180 with everyone's expectations (much like alola's rowlett). this to me, adds alot of charm.


i can go on and on but it's probably best i stopped here.

Prelawpikachu September 6th, 2021 5:56 PM

Pikachu and Scorbunny. I’m a stereotype.

Sami September 28th, 2021 11:55 AM

Golisopod without a shadow of a doubt these days. I love it's design and it's First Impression came up clutch so much in battles. Whenever I can get a Wimpod/Golisopod in regular games or fangames, I want to have one pronto.

#2 would be Tyranitar, #3 Cofagrigus, #4 Hydreigon and #5 Aggron

Scourgekku October 9th, 2021 3:13 PM

Absol and Beartic definitely honorable mentions, but Drifblim will always be my favorite. In my first game (Pokemon X), I was about halfway between the first and second gym. I had only starter Froakie, and I would become desperate. After trudging in the flowers on Route 8 (I believe) I came across one cute balloon creature called Drifloon. I decided to catch it, and I loved it since then. Drifloon is very cute, but Drifblim was likely my greatest used Pokemon through the game. I absolutely adore its design, and not half offensively bad either. Good, albeit not maybe spectacular, and bad defense made up for with good HP and decent Speed.

I have used Drifblim in almost every game since.
