Happy belated b-day. :3
The posion seahorse whose name I'm too lazy to type ain't my style, really. I'm sad there's an evolution because that forces me to deal with it. Besides, no one beats Horsea anyway. -n-
I did get a couple Clawnchers (again sp?) though from Japan, who I actually like more. I think I have a Japanese [poison seahorse] as well, I may just work that one over with boosted exp. + lucky egg + daycare. Everybody's been Wonder Trading Charmanders, lately. Probably a lot of overzealous folk who egg bred too many because of the X Mega Evo hype train.
As for Pokemon I enjoy using? Aside from the obvious answer, I'm guessing you mean X/Y newbies? In that case, Aromatisse is my new baby. I need to play with the Flabebe line some more, but I love the design so far of both it and Floette. I dunno where Goomy is but I want one of those. Honedge looks cool, but I haven't really played with it. I kind of like all the starters, too. From there I can't really tell who came from which generation.
