Do you really need to ask? I like him because he was the first starter I actually loved enough to implement into my teams (considering I never liked or used any of the starters in Blue and Red). Also, I like how he looks, and being from the south, it's always good to see alligators in shows and games. Some kind of southern pride I guess.
Second would be Empoleon, once again, because the looks were just utterly awesome. I'm an artist; looks mean a lot to me.
