Which one do you prefer - canine or feline pokemon?
Despite being a cat guy irl, I actually prefer canine Pokémon because they tend to be stronger and more intimidating.
Hey Wicked, welcome to the club!
I agree! I love cats in real life more than I like dogs but when it comes to pokemon, it's the total reverse. I've always just found canine pokemon to seem tougher and more intimidating than the typical house cats they seem to like creating with feline pokemon. And while the latter's certainly the more elegant and realistic out of the two, I'd have to say that canine > feline pokemon's probably the way to go.
Houndoom and Vapreon are awesome partners, the former especially. Have you used either of them in-game? I've been meaning to use Vaporeon as it's the only eeveelution outside of Glaceon that I haven't tried yet and Houndoom's always been my MVP since I played Platinum for the first time. What about you? :]

Also Woof, woof I'd really like to join the club
Which one do you prefer - canine or feline pokemon?
Personally I prefer canine pokemon, although in real life I'm more for the felines, I generally think canines are more better, have better attacks, and just generoully looks better than most feline pokemon
Hi there Flygon! Your partners are amazing as well, Arcanine's my favourite pokemon of and I've always loved how cool Absol was! Which one of them do you prefer? I honestly like Arcanine a lot due to its mix between a tiger and one of those huge pet dogs you'd see in the real world though Absol's also a really interesting pokemon as it's often misunderstood as a disaster bringer.
I think that's actually what a lot of people have answered, looking at the replies! I agree with you though, canines seem to have the better stats and advantage in battle compared to felines. I think a lot of it comes from dogs generally being stronger than cats in real life though. When it comes to comparing their designs, I've always liked both equally but for different reasons. Cat pokemon seem to be more graceful and elegant while canines are usually rough and intimidating. But both of them have really good traits to them so yeah. Anyway welcome, hope to see you around! :)

Both of these just kind of hold a special place in my heart for nostalgia reasons!
I am a cat person in real life, but I actually prefer canine Pokemon! Maybe it's because there are more to choose from or maybe it's because there hasn't been a cat Pokemon to truly stand above the rest. I love them all though so it really is tough to choose D:
Hey hey Jelli! I'm so proud of you for picking Growlithe. <3
What do you like about Absol though? Lots of people seem to like its design though I've heard that it has some great stats as well. I think it's also unique in the sense that Absol's technically a 'guardian angel' as it warns people of oncoming disasters. Shame that it gets mistaken for the cause of it but the title of a 'catastrophe pokemon' is one I've always found really cool so I can't complain too much!
And hey join the club! I think canines feel more unique in terms of there being more options and a lot more range of types so I can see where you're coming from. But yeah, welcome!
omg sophie pokemon is still pokemon in plural

Like the two above, I'm definitely a cat person, though when it comes to Pokemon, I tend to favour the canine Pokemon a lot more. I don't know if it's just because they typically appear stronger, but I find myself liking Pokemon such as the Growlithe, Houndour and Lilipup lines way more than I do for example the Meowth or Purrloin lines. Out of the felines, I do like the Shinx line a lot though. I really like the design and the progression you see in the evolution, and I used one the first time I played through Diamond and reall liked it. It was named Anton after a kitten the friend whom I was playing through it with had just gotten :3
But yeah, in general I really like both, and I do often find myself including one on my team in playthroughs :D
Hey Olli! Didn't think that birds and cats got along well in real life but if it works for you then that's great! I think everyone's so far agreed with you on that, it's very strongly canine > feline pokemon at the moment. I actually think Meowth's one of the more lovable cat pokemon due to its appearance in the anime though I definitely agree that I heavily favoured pokemon such as Growlithe and Houndour. They were cooler, if that makes sense? Like you don't see many fire cats or electric ones but with canines you've got dark, fire, electric and so on. Cat pokemon are great though, don't get me wrong.
Ayy Shinx. Another one of my pokemon from my original Platinum! I love the Shinx line as well, it goes from an adorable cub to a terrifying electric lion. I didn't realise it was a lion till a few years later though, guess I'm really slow. :(
Also your partners are cool! Any specific reason behind choosing them? I had a Suicune figurine when I was younger though it got buried somewhere. I really liked how interesting it was a legendary though. :]
