The title says it all has you favourite Pokemon changed? Did it maybe change after new Pokemon were released or you just fell in love with a Pokemon after you saw it in anime or was there another reason?

Personally my favourite Pokemon has always been Vaporeon and I think it always will be. I think my 2nd favourite (Beedrill) and 3rd favourite (Tangela) are also solid in their spot.
I'm going to leave this open since it's a "Have your favorites changed?" thread and not a "What is your favorite Pokemon" thread which is already stickied. *So with that said don't turn this into a What's your favorite Pokemon thread!*

Anyways, I never had a definite favorite Pokemon till Bellsprout, which is my favorite at the moment and has been for well over a year. Before Bellsprout I could never choose because there were so many and I was overwhelmed. :( Although when I first got into Pokemon I was all about fire types and so some of my more favorited Pokemon were Ninetales, Flareon, Rapidash, etc.

No. My favorite is Dratini. And then Sableye came out, and he doesn't supersede dratini, but he's definitely not below him. They are equally my favorite.

My favorites have always been my favorites; I've just added more favorites to them. Unfortunately, most of the Pokémon I've added to my favorites list are Pokémon that I've come to appreciate more over time, not new Pokémon that have just been introduced.

There has been a bit of switching around in the order of my favorites, however. For example, my original favorites (as I remember--could be faulty) were Arcanine, Lapras, Articuno, Growlithe, Dewgong, Vaporeon, and Squirtle. I'm pretty sure Arcanine has not always occupied the top spot as it does now, as I'm pretty sure Squirtle, Lapras, and Articuno have all held that position at one point or another, but when they were displaced, they didn't drop off my favorites list--they simply became "one" of my favorites, rather than "the" favorite. Nowadays, though, I think my favorites list is pretty stable and I don't expect it to change unless Gamefreak really surprises me with an awesome new design.

I'm pretty sure Mew has always been my favorite, but the spots below it have shifted quite a bit over the years, usually less to accommodate new Pokemon and more to solidify my opinion after new thoughts emerge about old Pokemon.

Mewtwo and Lugia have always been my top favorites. Seeing them in movies just made that feeling even stronger! If anything, I'm always just adding "favorites" to my list when a new Gen comes out haha, no other Pokemon is in any specific order. :P

My first was Scyther. Mostly because of how powerful it was when Bugsy used it in battle (yes I lost a lot to him -.-). But now it is my 3rd favorite. Pidgeot comes in first, and Dragonair in 2nd.

First gen: I loved Lickitung and Porygon. I never heard anyone mention them, they seemed so mysterious at the time. I made it a point to keep an eye out for them, listening for their name during Pokemon discussions became something of a game for me.
They became my staple team when I played Pokemon Stadium.

Second Gen: I fell even more in love with Lickitung and Porygon once a second generation was added. The craze over the new designs just made my favorites seem more obscure.
I think I liked most of the second gen, my favorite was governed by which Pokemon was in the show that week. I recall being particularly fond of Quilava and Marill though.

Third gen: I remember seeing Kecleon in the anime and falling in love with it. He was, to me, the third gen's Lickitung. A lizard no one paid much attention to (although I suppose he received a bit more attention than Lickitung did in gen 1.)
Tropius was the next Pokemon to catch my eye. I had become fairly obsessed with the third gen, but I had never heard of one before. I was really shocked when I ran into one in the game and captured it instantly. An obscure, flying dinosaur that grew fruit?! Could anything be cooler?!

Fourth Gen: I lost interest in Pokemon some time before the fourth gen came out and only became interested again toward the end of 2008. I wasn't fascinated by this generation as a whole, but I did love Empoleon and Shellos.
Empoleon combined my love of penguins and royalty and I just absoutely loved Shellos' design.

Fifth Gen: I think the fifth gen really spoiled me, haha. I've fallen in love with so many of the designs!
Jalorda, Erufuun, Reuniclus, Shandera, Kojondo and Gobitto stood out the most to me. Their designs are just beautiful.



I still love all of them after all these years.

Firstly I get my first game, Crystal, I found Gastly so useful there (it makes me liked Ghost type), then I get many Unown card, it makes me liked Unown because it has many form, and I'm searching for Pokemon Platinum GBA (how stupid I'm that time), I found Light Platinum and played it, from the story, I liked Arceus, I search it on google, and I found it is the strongest Pokemon

The anime has influenced my favorite pokemon before, but not since johto. Umbreon, Marowak, Charizard and Arcanine being my favs (in no particular order). The episode when Ash battled a trainer called Otoshi who used a marowak, the swordplay style of battling, its speed and some of the training scenes with the trainer placed marowak high up in my list of favs. Aswell as Gary oak's use of Umbreon. Using pokemon in competitive battling can also increase or decease my like for them.

I'm constantly getting new favorites, and my original favorite Pokemon was Eevee. But in generation II, I saw three Pokemon that have always had a three-way tie on my heart<3



And sometimes I get randomly obsessed with a Pokemon. Right now, I really like Aipom and can't go without having one on my team for some reason. lol :( <3

Back when I was a kid, Onix was my favourite. Sometime before Crystal came out, I lost interest in pokemon, but around the time Emerald was released, I got back into it upon really liking Grovyle. Grovyle's been my favourite pokemon ever since.
