6th Gen Favorite Hoenn Pokemon

Alright, here's the second thread of the Goodbye ORAS week event!

What is your favorite Pokemon to use in Hoenn? Can you ever play ORAS without it?

Gonna start this off with my favorite Hoenn Pokemon: Sceptile. Not only was Treecko my first-ever Pokemon (since Sapphire was my first game), I love, LOVE Sceptile's design and was absolutely thrilled to see it get a Mega Evolution in ORAS--and for it to have my favorite type added to boot!

Can I play ORAS without Sceptile? Yes... but I will be really sad. It felt so, so wrong playing through Omega Ruby with Blaziken instead. At least the rival had Swampert instead of Sceptile, but man it's gonna be weird when I see Brenden with Sceptile instead of me :(

Gardevoir's probably my favorite. If I had to go through the game without it, I could, but I love using it (even if Ralts and Kirlia aren't that good).

Blaziken's a close second, though, since Torchic was my first ever Pokemon.

I always choose fire starter so Blaziken is the best hoenn Pokemon

Milotic. it's super majestic looking and ever since I obtained one in the originals, I've loved it ever since. I could play through ORAS without it and I have, during those times, I tried to use things I never used before.

My Gardevoir, which I lovingly named Waterproof. He was arguably the best Pokémon I had in my first team, outclassed by my Kyogre for being my HM slave.

My second team is full of good Pokémon. Talonflame, Metagross, Salamence, Milotic, Roserade, Glaceon...

I'm quite fond of Shuppet/Banette. I was really glad when Banette got a Mega and it actually turned out to be one of the better-designed ones. I love the way it looks like it's literally bursting out of its seams, and unlike a lot of Mega Evolutions, it isn't ridiculously overdone.

I could probably play without a Shuppet on my team, but I haven't. There are so few Gen III Pokemon I actually like, so finding a replacement would be difficult.

I don't go without Breloom~~

I just love the Hoenn region! The two champions have such attitude, and I really like the lore centering around the weather trio. Its little touches like that and the role that your powerful father has to play that give this region a good atmosphere.

You also get three especially strong starters. My eye tends to go to the sceptile line though as my favorite, especially now with a dragon mega evolution. Dragon is my favorite typing and this region really had a Renaissance of dragon Pokemon, whereas in gen 1 and 2 we only got one line each. They capped even capped it off with the glorious Rayquaza.

Milotic. In addition the sublime defensive Pokemon that she they really made a feast for the eyes. Since I am a fan Gyarados as well I like how this Pokemon is like the good twin of Gyarados and magikarp.

Last but not least Absol is a favorite.

Skarmory, definitely. Iron bird!

Rayquaza is easily the best design for a creature i ever saw

Swellow! Not only is is my favourite Hoenn Pokémon, it is actually my favourite of all. Close second is Altaria.

Altaria has probably become my fave 3rd Gen Pokemon thanks to my experience using Mega Altaria in Alpha Sapphire. She also helped me out when I did minor BP grinding sessions in the Battle Maison, and just being an overall star of the team.

I also love Breloom, Manectric, Gardevoir and my fave Hoenn starter Swampert.

Flygon!

I remember first playing through R/S, trying to figure out how to get that awesome Pokemon. Had no idea that the ugly little desert Trapinch evolved into something so amazing.

There's so many Hoenn Pokemon I absolutely adore but I have to say Banette, especially with its Mega, is probably my favorite. Ghost Pokemon in general have always been some of my favs and Banette has all the factors that make it awesome: the creepiness, the backstory, the unique appearance and Mega Banette has the coolest Mega design imo and it's super fun to use in battle too.

My favourite Hoenn Pokemon is Salamence. I absolutely love its design. Also, it has high Attack and decently high Special Attack and Speed, meaning it's a great fighter.

Milotic was one of those Pokemon I couldn't get as a child due to the Feebas situation being too hard for me to catch one haha. But now that I've caught and used a Milotic in ORAS, I can definitely appreciate the Pokemon :)

About my favorite Hoenn Pokémon in general, it has to be... Oh, God, this is hard. Hoenn's Pokémon are so awesome. Aggron, Tropius, Kirlia, Huntail, Shelgon... It's hard to choose one.

Swampert.
During RSE, starting me off with Torchic and Treecko always end me up badly.
I always did well whenever I picked Mudkip, so Swamper's became my best starter.
And of course when I picked up Alpha Sapphire, it was a no-brainer I still went with Mudkip!

I like ''entire'' pokedex of t Hoenn but i believe that Salamence is my favourite one ..
