If it's a male it's better chances to be part of my team...Or so I could say. xD
But, it depends. For example, I liked Tsutaaja better than the two others for its look, and for Jarooda too.
I guess I mainly like a pokemon for its look, and the fact they are male, not that I am being a "Poke-sexist", more like : I like when there's blue next to my pokemon name because I adore the blue colour ! C>
With that said, I don't mind having female pokemon, mind you. xD

My recent favorites, Mismagius and Dragonair, are based on how elegant they look, along with their worth in competitive battling (Standard and NFE Battles, respectively).

Of course, there are some special mentions, like Latios, being the Pokémon that helped me conquer the Emerald Battle Frontier, Jolteon, being my first Eeveelution, and Blastose, being my very first starter, ever.

I focus on how badass then look mainly. Like Blaziken. or Scizor or Garchomp or Zekrom bla bla bla.
I do also focus on how female looking some Pokemon may look too, which includes Gardevoir or Kojondo.
Will work on a better signature when I don't feel lazy.

Well the design is the first thing that attracts me! But I've changed my oppinion several times...
Stats aren't really that important.

The first thing i obviously look at is the design. Then when i find pokemons that look cool/cute/unique i check for more information about it, such as its typing, stats and movepool. if it's good in these (or most) areas then i might use it.

When i use a pokemon. I want them to have a cool design, but i also want them to be strong and effective in battle. This way i have found allot of favorites but also allot of dissapointments to, such as Onix and Shubarugo.

Some pokemons that i didn't like at first (like Hariyama, Spectile etc.) i really started to like after using them for a while.

Looks. It's all about the design. Sometimes I decided based off moves too, but mostly whatever's on the outside matters most when it comes to Pokemon for me (;

I'd have to go with looks too. It sounds vain, but I really am never interested in catching a pokemon that looks ugly or unattractive to me. I prefer things that are cute, or cool looking. Of course, they also need some good moves and to be strong enough to take on the normal challenges required. =]

Looks first, like I fell in love with Tsutarja, Pururiru and that Bellosom clone to name a few, as I don't like much Gen V Pokemon but they're actually growing on me :surprised:, at first sight. Then typing, like Zuruzukin's Dark/Fighting. It's a ugly Pokemon, but it's typing make me like it. I like Pokemon with good unique typings. So looks + typings. I'm not really a competitive battler but I do want to beat the frontier one day but still, stats don't mean much to me. I do like my Pokemon to be fast though. Also, Pokemon concepts, the idea behind it. I look at Dex entries, and Trivia and Name origin on Bulbapedia.

All of my favorite Pokemon are based off of memories.
All the Pokemon I like are bits and pieces of nostalgia taking me back to when I was 6 again. :'D
All the favorites/claims I have on my profile are Pokemon that, when younger, I grew emotionally attached to.
When I was little I'm pretty sure Pidgeot was on my mind all the time. XD
Which is why I think it's my favorite today.

Eh I just like cute Pokemon. Especially in SS/HG you can talk to your Pokemon; if they say or do something cute, they're never leaving my side.

I don't really know....I like pokemon based on their aesthetics and appeal. I like quirky pokemon that stand out...not necessarily cute pokemon.

My favourite pokemon would be: Mareep, Roselia, Numel, Gulpin, Desukan, Rankurusu (and any pokemon in their families)

Appearance is big for me, but definitely not the only thing. I consider if I would use them in battle, and if they would do well. I combine those factors to find which Pokemon I really like.
