    I've always LOVED Houndour and it's one of my favourite Pokémon whereas I've never particularly liked Growlithe much. However that flips for their evolutions. XD; I've never liked Houndoom as much (which sucks because it means I have to either train a lesser Houndour or evolve the poor thing ;;). I used to be really indifferent to Arcanine but since I've become such good friends with the member named that here, it's given me a great bias to it.

    So Arcanine.

    (And hooray, you changed the picture of Arcanine in the first post. XDD;)

    Houndoom would've won if he was available in johto at the time, but he isn't. That's a shame because his great special attack and speed could really give Will a run for his money. However, his paper thin defense and HP stats don't help much, especially against thick fat Hariyama. I wish I could call it a tie, but extremespeed is a move that can't be ignored, even with shallow movepool pokemon like Arcanine.
     

    Idiot!

    Wow I was just thinking about switching out my Arcanine in my party for my Houndoom. I decided I would try it out, so I'll tell you which one I like more.

    Arcanine. Houndoom is too skinny and Arcanine is all fluffy ^.^

    Plus I like Growlithe better than Houndoom's preevolved form [Can't remember the name... xD]

    well fire is my favorite type so they both get a point there,
    -Looks-
    Arcanine is awesome!! He looks like a tiger crossed with a lion [despite being named ar-CANINE]
    Houndoom is cool because he has horns but is too scrawny!

    -Stats-
    Arcanine is at an obvious advantage with power but apparently lacks the speed of Houndoom?

    And to top it all up, I have always loved Growlithe and Arcanine isn't far off so...
    Arcanine wins :D
