Oshawott, Dewott & Samurott
When I first saw these Water-types, I knew I had to choose Oshawott as my starter. The anime pushed me even more with Oshawott acting cute, causing him to become my fave Pokemon. My fave Water Starter line to date and they didn't fail to impress me.
Gothita, Gothorita & Gothitelle
These Psychic-types made me want to play Black, I love the design (Gothic Lolita FTW!) and the cries (I like how Gothitelle's cry sounds like the scary music from
Psycho). Gothitelle is now one of my stars and I loved using her, she uses Calm Mind like a champ.
Vanillite, Vanillish & Vanilluxe
Finally, we have an ice cream Pokemon - and this one's really cute. I don't often use Ice-types but unlike most people here I actually like this family of Ice-types. I even had Vanillite as one of my previous avatar/signature themes, no wonder I like it. Plus Marriland used one in his White video playthrough as well making me love it even more!
Solosis, Duosion & Reuniclus
Even though I play Black, I secretly traded a Solosis over from my brother's White so I can test it. It was actually pretty good once it evolved. I love Reuniclus cos it's so huggable and has good Special moves plus it's a beast on those teams based around Trick Room. I like Gothitelle better design-wise but I love Reuniclus too.
Emolga
My fave Electric Rodent, cos it's so cute (especially in the anime). Even though people hate the Emolga in the Nimbasa Gym cos of Double Team, I decided to train one and mine turned out good (I managed to get mine to Level 58, I'm not kidding!). Emolga will always be the cutest Electric Rodent.
Elgyem & Beheeyem
When I first saw these little Psychic aliens, I went "awwww...". Then my love towards them got better thanks to Marriland using an Elgyem (and later Beheeyem) in his White playthrough, they are cute and amazing Trick Room threats as well.
Litwick, Lampent & Chandelure
My fave Ghost-types, I remember seeing these Ghost/Fire-types and I went "Litwick (Hitomoshi back then) is so cute!". Then after seeing that massive Sp. Attack stat Chandelure has, I just had to have one. After playing Black, I caught the first Litwick I saw and she's now an amazing Chandelure. I love their designs and the fact that I am Lampent in the Unova Zodiac (I was born in October) makes me a big fan of these things.
Tepig, Pignite & Emboar
I feel so sorry for Unova's resident Fire Starter, who gets so much hate cos people think he's "ugly". Not me! I think Tepig is so cute (Oshawott is still my fave) and I love his anime voice. I don't find Pignite or Emboar ugly, I find them amazing! I had a chance to use all 3 starters after I traded a Snivy and Tepig from my brother's White. My Emboar turned out amazing, he was able to outspeed some foes even without Flame Charge (he has a Jolly nature so there's a chance he may have good IVs in Speed). So guys, don't underestimate these fiery pigs. My second fave Fire Starter, behind the Chimchar line.
Minccino & Cinccino
These Normal-type chinchilla Pokemon are something to watch out for. Cuteness and moves that abuse the Technician ability. With Technician, Cinccino becomes a massive threat with normally weak multi-strike moves like Bullet Seed, Rock Blast and its signature Tail Slap. I tried one out and she was amazing! They are also so cute too.
Snivy, Servine & Serperior
My fave Grass Starter as far as design goes, not as good for movepools but whatever? Snivy's design and anime personality made me like it. I traded one from my brother's White and as a Serperior, he was amazing with a Coil + Leaf Blade + Leech Seed combo. And on top of that, once Contrary Serperior gets released, everyone will want him with Leaf Storm!
Pansage & Simisage, Pansear & Simisear, Panpour & Simipour
I love monkeys given I was born in 1992 (classified as Monkey in Chinese Zodiac) and these guys are no exception. I tried all 3 out and they weren't bad plus they have good movepools too. When you get one of these guys, you will have an easier time in the Striaton Gym. I also love the "Hear No, See No, Speak No" concept behind them.
Sigilyph
Yeah, I love most of the Unova Psychics. Sigilyph is a very interesting one with good Sp. Attack and Speed plus its awesome Magic Guard ability grants it a few immunities and it can even learn Ice Beam. I had a good time training one, and I definitely recommend it.
Scraggy & Scrafty
I was always wishing for a Dark/Fighting-type, and these guys come along. I love their sprite animations and they have a good movepool too. I have a female Scrafty with Moxie that loves Hi Jump Kicking everything and I love it when she gets that Attack boost with every opponent she KO's. Moxie is such an awesome ability. Ash's Scraggy in the anime is also very cool too!
Reshiram & Zekrom
These guys are the most epic Legendaries ever! I love their design, Yin-Yang origin and those tails that charge up with fire and electricity. Reshiram is the one I like better since I play Black and mine turned out with a perfect nature (Modest). I was satisfied with my Reshiram and I plan to use it again sometime. Black & White will forever be my fave games due to these amazing Legendaries. And I love the part of the main storyline where N uses one of the dragons and battles the other one that you catch, most epic battle ever. Yeah, Unova has really awesome Pokemon which is why I loved the 5th Gen.
