I choose pokemon by look mostly. Then I look at its moveset and stats. If the pokemon has good stats or moves for a specific team, then I like it. But if it has bad or not so great stats, I still like it. So basically looks alone or looks and stats.

Usually before jumping to a conclusion about a pokémon, I'd take a look at the design, type, (as sometimes the design has a way different appearance to the typing it is put as) and what it's done for me or what I found interest in right away. I don't like taking a first look at a Pokémon's appearance and say "That thing is very monstrous, so not getting it. >_>;" as you never know how they might turn out to be. Eventually all of them start to rub off on me after seeing it a while, but main ones that I take interest in have to at least have one of those "sparking" things that will make me want to get it sometime.

I always always always choose my favourite Pokemon on how it looks, it's design. I don't
care how powerful a Pokemon is, if I don't like how it looks, I don't like that Pokemon. And I don't care how weak a Pokemon is, if I like the design, I love the Pokemon.

I like pokemon that appear fast and furious (even if they aren't really all that) which is why I have come to love pokemon like Weavile, Infernape, Sceptile, etc. Also, Scizor is starting to appeal to me. There are a few exceptions though. Magmortar doesn't look very fast, does it? Neither does Torterra, however, they are also some of my favorites.

Well design is the first thing that draws me towards a Pokemon. If it looks good/cool, im interested. Next thing is the typing/abilities. Also good, then I continue on looking on.

If I see it has an interesting Move Pool, and by interesting I mean, People would be able to run a different move set and be original, instead of copying people. Then I would go onwards to the stats.

If the stats are great-epic. Then we got ourselves a favorite! :)

Appearance for the most part. It has to be strong enough to hold its own in-game, but I avoid many of the uber powerful Pokemon because they're unattractive.

Design, mostly (and whether they look cool in 3D). Typing can occasionally be a factor (especially the Fire and Dragon types. :D) For legendaries, what they embody/represent can play a role as well. But usually the ones that are my favorites are the ones that look like they can kick some serious butt in a Pokemon battle! :rambo:

Wow, I never really thought about that? The first Pokemon I pick, my starter, I usually pick based off of looks. The cuter starters usually end up having the coolest looking final evolutions. Lol. As for the rest of the Pokemon, I think I go off of looks too? Whichever ones look the strongest I think I tend to catch, EXCEPT for the bird Pokemon. I always catch the first bird Pokemon of the region, no matter how it looks. Yeah, if I can't find out any info. on the Pokemon of the region before I get the game, I go by looks.

If it's pink I automatically love it. Yes, pink. All of the pink Pokemon are absolutely adorable and even if they're not exactly uber material, they're pink for god's sakes so they win in my book.

*coughcough*

I mean uh... anything that looks cool. Yeah. Cool looking ones. Right. Gotta love the cool looking ones. Hahahahha... ha.
