    When choosing favorites, what do you generally look for, to make a pokemon a favourite pokemon? Why would you prefer it than other attributes it has?

    For example, would you prefer if a pokemon is cute? That its weird-looking? That it has a cool name? That has lots of colors? Not too much colors? That has an interesting name origin? And the list basically goes on from there.
     
    I usually don't care for a Pokemon's name, as you can always give it a nickname. I do think a Pokemon's coloring shouldn't be too weird looking, bright colors might work for some, but not for all.

    I don't like Pokemon that are "stiff" like magnezone, I'd rather have a pokemon that is able to make good use out of it's limbs. I also don't like pokemon with short or stubby legs like Golem and Salamence.
    I prefer pokemon with 4 legs which are bipedal, but still don't look weird when walking on all 4, like Zangoose or Swampert.



    In terms of stats, I usually tend to pick Pokemon that are not too sluggish, and have high attack. They should also be able to learn a wide variety of moves.
     
    I prefer the elegant, dangerous ones. Having lots of sharp bits is a bonus. Like Bisharp and Gallade. I won't use anything that I think looks derpy or unfabulous.

    And yes, I did just use the word 'unfabulous' un-sarcastically, so sue me. ;)
     
    I'm not sure... they're usually cool looking reptilian pokemon that I like. It's also how they're depicted.
     
    I look for use first, looks second. My favorite Pokemon at the moment is Ferrothorn, and that has nothing to do with its design. Hydreigon is a close second, and I believe I would love it regardless of its design.
     
    I have a tendency to go for fully evolved, powerful and fast Pokemon. Speed is the stat I look at first when looking at favourites, and while some certainly don't have it - Cradily, for one - most of my faves do e.g. Aerodactyl, Houndoom etc.

    As well as this, if I've used the Pokemon in my team for a certain length of time and come to appreciate its eccentricities - this is where Cradily comes in, as well as Excadrill - then I'll often come to appreciate the Pokemon in turn.

    And then of course there's some of them that just look awesome. Like Lapras, and Chandelure.
     
    I normally find my favourite Pokemon by watching the anime/movies; whichever appeals to me.
    (That's why most of my favourites are Legendaries)

    I also like rodent-related Pokemon, such as Sandshrew & Minccino.
     
    I tend to base my favourites aesthetically - if I look at it and think to myself "okay, that looks AWESOME" it pretty much becomes a firm favourite, if it can generate that kind of reaction :D
     
    Wow, I never actually knew that people even decide based on names at all! x)

    Anyway, although viability in a competitive / efficient in-game environment is important to me, I mostly pick based on looks and obtainability. For some reason I've always found that the harder-to-get Pokémon that require a lot of hunting or special evolution methods far more appealing than 'normal' ones.
     
    I pretty much look for the following to be my favorite Pokemon:

    1. Awesomeness - The Pokemon I choose must be pretty good in battle, like having a pretty good moveset and stats.
    2. Cuteness & adorableness - Is it cute like Oshawott? YOU'RE MY FAVORITE!
    3. Name origin - According to the name origin of Meganium, it means "giant flower". It sounds pretty because I love flowers. <3
    4. Colors - If the Pokemon has a pretty color, I'd fall in love with it.
     
    Oh...i'm not that good at picking favorites. I love them all <3 I think I tend to go for cuteness/awesomeness. Not just in looks, but also in personality. Which is one of the few things that I still like in the anime: the pokemon aren't just pixels on a screen that never change.

    My current favorite:
    [PokeCommunity.com] BEST. POKEMON. EVA!!!

    He just ended up growing on me, plus he just looks cool when colored that way <3

    my favourites are usually something i can imagine having as a pet. that means it going to be mostly based on looks.
     
    I usually like pokémon who are at least mostly bipedal and can learn the move Slash. ^^ Like Ursaring, Sandshrew, Zangoose, Scizor... those types. I don't really know why, but I really like them the most.

    Of course I like a lot of other pokémon as well, and some are due to cuteness, like Teddiursa, while others are for general... awesomeness xD I don't really know why I like Poliwhirl-family, Staryu and Bulbasaur this much, but I do. :3
     
    First of all it must be something with a cool and appealing design to me. I ten to like bipedal Pokemon more, Pokemon with visible limbs.

    The next thing will be it's typing. If it's one of my favourite types or a unique combo, I'd like it.

    The concept also. If the Pokemon has a good theme, interesting origin, it'd good in my books.

    That's all really, the name doesn't matter to me, just the look, typing and general concept.
     
    Back when I was little, I used to like the huge cool-looking ones. I guess I wanted someone who I knew/looked like it had my back...or possibly the awesome big brother figure I never had. xD

    Now, I pretty much go for the design/concept first. Then it trickles down to the type, color scheme, name, and so on.

    I've noticed that I like to go for the ones that look elegant, yet deadly. >:D
