I'm pretty sure mine would be my favorite Pokemon, Samurott. Ironically, before the Gen 5 starters' evolutions were revealed, I hated Oshawott. I could not look at it without thinking it was the forbidden love child of a Piplup and Teddiursa. :p But when Samurott and the other final egos were revealed, I knew I just had to have Samurott. Needless to say that I always pick Oshawott in my Gen 5 games because I know I will eventually have a Samurott. I just love Samurott for its design and concept! A samurai sea lion? Yes, please! Samurott is also an important part of my competitive battling career. I started competitive battling in Gen 5 and decided to try Gen 5 NU. Samurott was part of my first competitive team, and has since been on many other NU teams, always my most reliable and powerful team member. Samurott is, overall, a Pokemon very dear to my heart.
