5th Gen Favorite Fifth Gen Pokemon

Emboar because he's a Mexican wrestler and that's really awesome, and also oshawott because he's just so cute and squigdy
 
I will go with Snivy
Because I like the grass type starter :)
But I do not like snivy to evolve... its final form is somehow.. I do not like it :)
 
Haxorus. He's pretty strong (could use more speed lol) and I just love the design. I've used Haxorus every time I play through a Gen V or VI game.

I really like his shiny form.

This little stinker. You can use his ability to trick opponents. Like, if you put a Timburr at the back of your party they could possibly use a Psychic type, then they'd be like, "wait wut" and they'd have a Psychic type out and you one-shot them.
 
I didn't really get into the generation V Pokemon, but I would have to say Reshiram as of right now. Like a beautiful fire goddess or something.

Zoroark is amazing, haha. Its defenses are a little low, though, which sort of held it down in competitive battling. If it weren't for that, Zoroark would have been very popular, I'm sure. :]
 
Do I have to pick just one? I have so many! Fifth gen was one of my favorites in term of design.

Some top picks I'd say are Serperior, Zoroark, and Reshiram.

Serperior has my design sense plastered all over it. It's totally something I'd create.

Meanwhile, Zoroark is a fox. With hair. Lots and lots of brilliant red hair. Red is my favorite color. I like canines. And it's hilarious to troll people with. You have no idea just how many people fall for it. It's won me a good number of battles.

Lastly, Reshiram. The first Gen 5 Pokemon I saw and it left quite the impression on me. Unlike Zekrom who I found to be kind of bland and disinteresting due to my more feminine and less mechanical taste in designs, Reshiram drew my attention immediately. Its brilliant white feathers of purity and fluff, that awesome jet engine turbine, those gorgeous flowing locks... it's a mixture of every creature that I love. A dragon canine bird thing. And? It works. It works so beautifully. Making it my favorite Legendary of all time.
 
Hydreigon. Has an awesome cry.

I like dragon-types the most. This dragon type hates to evolve and becomes Hydreigon at level 64.

When it's a Hydreigon, it's gonna wreck.

It also has cool 3 heads and is a pseudo legendary.

Hands down favourite pokemon in gen5.
 
My favorite is Mienshao! U-turn, Fake-out, High Jump Kick and Stone Edge, with Regenerator for ability, and a focus sash, Mienshao is one of my all time favorite.
I do like Serperior and Samurott, Chandelure, Unfezant (male) is one of my favorite bird, liligant and whimsicott, Leavanny, Accelgor and Escavalier and my sweet Sawsbuck! (Can listen to is cry all day!)

I fell in love with Mienshao at first glance, and Mienfoo is absolutely adorable. I've caught one in every game where they are available to catch in the wild; easily a staple on all of my teams. The elegance and beauty of Mienshao's design is perfect, and its abilities in battle are not too shabby either. In B/W, she was the powerhouse of my team for the majority of the game! I consider the line my favorite of all Pokemon. :]
