At first I liked Blastoise the most, in every Pokemon game i used to choose Squirtle as my starter which will become Blastoise in future.

And when Pokemon XYZ Anime came and when I saw the last evolution of Froakie which is Greninja, it looked way cooler than any other Pokemon till now I've seen.(except Infernape, because I love Water types). And also after Frogadier, the Greninja which we get is Water as well as a Dark type. Who doesn't like Dark type?? Because till Greninja was introduced the most beloved Dark type was Lucario in my opinion!!! So here Greninja became my favourite.

And at last Gardevoir, because of the new Fairy type, plus Psychic type. And all must have already known that why people love Gardevoir ;)

When I was younger and was in Pokemon for a little bit, I don't think I even had a favourite Pokemon. After I was reintroduced into the series, it was Houndoom because I loved dogs and it had a slick design. Cue Gen 5 and I just fell in love with Scrafty after 6 months of BW's NA's release date and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

While my #1 doesn't change, my top 10 sometimes fluctuates.

When I was much younger, I only knew about the Kanto region for the most part. I watched the Indigo League anime and I owned a copy of Fire Red (which I know is technically Generation 3, but it primarily had Gen 1 Pokémon for the most part.)

Back then, my favorite was initially Magmar, simply because it looked cool and I liked fiery things, but when I first encountered Mewtwo in Fire Red, it instantly became my favorite for the longest time.
That is, until I got Pokémon Diamond, it was then I started learning new Pokémon, and for a brief time, Dialga was my favorite, but I only knew about the two games back then, I didn't have the internet.
Around when Gen 5 came out, I got some huge book of all Pokémon across the 5 generations for Christmas, and I've discovered a lot.

It was also there I found out about Deoxys, and I was extremely intrigued with the idea of a Pokémon that's just a straight-up alien.
Whenever I got access to the internet, I'd do research on this Pokémon, and it quickly became my all-time favorite, almost as if I were connected to it in some ways.
Especially in the Destiny Deoxys movie. That's definitely my favorite of the Pokémon movies.

Definitely not the same now. I used to be the typical Charizard and "choose fire starters because fire" kid growing up with the games. Now it's Eelektross and Gourgeist. Charizard and Kanto as a whole has been ruined for me the past few years. But Mega X is still cool. I'm more of a grass type person now

Blastoise was one of the first Pokémon I ever saw. Some classmates had these fabric Pokémon that inverted from poke balls to Pokémon, and Blastoise was one of them. I liked it, and consequently picked it as my starter when I got Red. It’s been my favorite ever since, and I’ve never had any urge to deviate from that.

Most of my favorites have been set in stone for years (Pikachu as #2, etc.). I’ve liked some new Pokemon, but I guess I’m fairly consistent in my tastes. The same goes for a lot of my other favorites in life (color, etc.).

Indeed, back when I first started getting into Pokemon around early Gen IV, I had Lucario as my #1 favourite for a while. Always thought he was pretty cool, and 'cool' was like the big thing for me back in the day.

Around early Gen VI, I started to transition away from the 'cool' and more towards the 'cute/girly', and Gardevoir became my new favourite for a bit. Then finally at some point I got into OR/AS and discovered Lopunny's mega evolution, and she's been my #1 ever since. ^^

My favorite Pokemon, Dawn Wings Necrozma, was only created two games ago, so yes. Before Gen 7, it was Victini. Between Black & White first being revealed and me doing the Liberty Garden event in my game (which was what made me love Victini), it was Oshawott. Before Oshawott...I don't think I had one.

All 3 (4?) Pokemon are still very important to me; I tend to call DW Necrozma my current favorite, Victini my old favorite, and Oshawott my mascot (like how Ash has Pikachu, Dawn has Piplup, Iris has Axew, etc.). c:

Sneasel was my most favorite Pokémon until Gen VII, when I met Charjabug.

And I hope Charjabug stays my favorite.

Ninetales has always and will always remain on top.

Some of my other all-time favourites such as Beautifly, Lopunny, Gardevoir, and Glaceon also have remained on the top of my list.

So for a while it was whatever starter I had, wasn't too picky
Around gen 4 I was into Golduck and its design, Unova came and Axew happened...
then for some reason I settled on Lucario. Dunno why. Liked the design

My favorite's have changed, but I never updated my signature.

The #1 favorite for me is Tyranitar. Crobat is my 2nd, and Ledian is probably #3....I wish it wasn't so weak though. Even casually playing in game it's not very good.

Venasaur was my favorite when Pokemon first came out. Then I added Umbreon, then Mawile and Swampert, and then Garchomp. I don't really have any more favorites after GEN 5, but I still play all the games.

My fave has always been the Piplup line. I may hold multiple Pokemon in the No.1 spot, but not change the faves. Weird, I know XD
Interesting to see people here change favourites. I nearly changed to Sylveon, bought a figure as well, but decided not to let Piplup down, hehe.
Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth. Now listen to the Serenade of water to reflect upon yourself.

They haven't changed, more like the list has just gotten longer.

Originally, I liked Ninetales, Pikachu, Arcanine, and Mewtwo.

Nowadays, Darumaka, Lucario, Lycanroc, and some others got added.
