The TCG was the start of my love for pokémon ;; Everyone at school had the cards and played and traded. Nobody knew how to play the game, haha. And someone had a GB and Pokémon Red or Blue, but it looked too advanced for most of us to care about. And then came the anime and it became the big thing... For a year or two. Then we grew out of it. I was one of few people who still thought it was cool and kept making up my own fakemon and stuff.

And then, yeeears later when I had almost given up on a chance to like pokémon AND be a, hm, decently regarded teenager in the world, I discovered pokémon forums on the internet. A place to talk to people about nerdy things, so that I wouldn't need to do that "irl" so to speak. Thanks PC :')

I seemed to kill the chit-chat, so let's revive it with the most basic subject there is: what is your favorite pokemon? Have you had another favorite before but changed?

I was too scared to post

My current favourite Pokemon is Lotad. I'm due another name change.

...alright, maybe not. Lotad is awesome though; I always liked Brock's ditzy one. But my favourite Pokemon before Meloetta was Giratina, and before that it was Latias, before that was Murkrow, before that was Articuno. Gen VI was actually quite disappointing to me in some regards, because I didn't get a new favourite. xD

Sorry if i scared ;;

Lotad! It's cute but I prefer Lombre :3

I can't pick a single fav. I guess it could be Sneasel. But I'd like a team with

Sneasel
Octillery
Elekid
Charmeleon

Yeah, those are probably my faves. And Bulbasaur, Cryogonal, Zangoose and shiny!Furret and Flareon and Scizor and Chesnaught and Chikorita and

See? Can't choose.

I have always been a Growlithe and Vulpix fan. Little fire puppies. So cute. Just imagine all the warm cuddles! Plus, Arcanine and Ninetales both look so majestic and elegant. I'd totally ride Arcanine into battle. :3

Im back guys :)

I''ve started Guardian Signs a couple of days ago and its pretty awesome. People following me around are kinda annoying, but riding a Raikou made up for all of the annoying details which arent that bad anyway.
I do however miss starting from the zero in a ranger school like in Almia, and Im kinda annoyed by being casually pulled through time like it doesnt matter, but it's still fun though. :D

My favourite has always been Ninetales :) I got really upset when I traded my shiny TCG card for a Dewgong (a close second for Gen 1!).

My favorites are Bergmite and Torterra. Bergmite is a bit of a weird choice, as I haven't laid my hands on 6th gen yet, but it's so cute and adorable and it's ice which is the coolest type ever. And torterra is an island, which is cool.

I never liked pokemon ranger. It's one of the weaker concepts. Still better than Dash though.

This seems to be a popular opinion XD although I'm not too fond of it's evolution. :( Avalugg just looks wrrrrong and boring to me.

I'm trying not to freak out over how adorable that is. It's just such an effective design, I'm really in love with the guy. Avalugg is awesome too in my opinion, but it's a bit of a downgrade from Bergmite.

Avalugg is amazing! :3 I used to think it looked stupid, but when I researched it a bit I grew to really like it.

Oh, lord, there's a lot; I'm not even sure where to begin.

My first two would be Vulpix and Ninetales, and there are various reasons them, which I had stated in other threads around here on PGen on numerous occasion--they're respective cute and elegant-looking, and when it comes down to battling, they're able to perform wonderfully. They're sort of an all-in-one.

Up next is Togekiss, due to similar reasons. It seems adorable to me, and has amazing battling capabilities, thanks to combination of its ability--Serene Grace--and moves that it has access to, such as Air Slash, Ominous Wind, and so forth. After this, they are Volcarona, Lucario, Gyarados, Machamp... the list is endless, really!

OK, that's pretty cute. Look at all the baby Christos on its back ^_^.

Drought Ninetales? Good choice.

@Sven - I don't think I know a single person who doesn't like Umbreon. It's super cute, I just watched an episode with one in :D.

I never really understood all the attention the Eevee line got. The idea is super cool and the designs are fun, but they don't seem that special to me. I wonder if they would've still gotten the same amount of attention without the gimmick. Umbreon's still cool though, don't worry.

Avalugg looks kinda cool, but sadly its low Special Defense kinda ruins it. It is amusing that it's basically a jumbo sized icy table though :P Really wish they had something to give it more use. I do remember one time when Wulfric's really gave me a run for my money, though.

Avalugg is neat, it looks original. Bergmite is a cutie too. Umbreon is the best Eeveelution; I don't care how overrated it is.
My favourite is Scrafty of course. <3 Houndoom was my previous favourite for 5-6 years.

My favorite always has and always will be Butterfree. It's not a particularly great Pokemon in the games (unless you get a speedy one that can effectively use status moves), but both the anime and the TCG helped cement my love for it. To be honest, I probably get more emotional watching Bye Bye Butterfree than I do the first Pokemon movie, which is saying quite a bit considering Ash only had Caterpie/Metapod/Butterfree for 19 episodes.

And I never noticed that Avalugg was supposed to be the tip of the iceberg and Bergmite the bottom part until MorallyIncorrect brought it up. That's pretty clever, and their designs just went up a notch in my book.

Butterfree is pretty cool. Especially in Pokemon abridged :P had me laughing for ages.

Butterfree? That's one that got a small boost in XY with Quiver Dance. Too bad its usability isn't quite as high in the original games and FRLG, although that nice Compound Eyes and Sleep Powder is a good benefit.

In HeartGold, Butterfree was my go-to Pokemon because of Compound Eyes + Sleep Powder. Combine that with Dream Eater, and I was able to plow my way through almost all the Kanto Gym Leaders and Red with just Butterfree. I don't think it would hold up well competitively, but in-game it can be great when used right.
