    Bug: Charjabug. Always was, is, and will be.
    Dark: Sneasel. Used to be my favorite Pokemon of all time.
    Dragon: Guzzlord. USUM made it interestingly creepy.
    Electric: Xurkitree. I LOVE IT.
    Fairy: Whimsicott. It's a grass sheep. What's not to love?
    Fighting: Buzzwole. It's so...majestic.
    Fire: Volcarona. I like fire moths.
    Flying: Celesteela. I might be attracted to it...
    Ghost: Mimikyu. Dusknoir is a close second.
    Grass: Steenee. I like it more than Tsareena aesthetically, anyway.
    Ground: Stunfisk. Please don't kill me, PC.
    Ice: Vanilluxe. Why does everyone hate this thing?
    Normal: Porygon-Z. It's absurd in a way that appeals to me.
    Poison: Poipole. It's so adorable.
    Psychic: Kirlia. Yes, I like it more than Gardevoir and Gallade.
    Rock: Cradily. Armaldo comes in second, though.
    Steel: Jirachi. It's adorable.
    Water: Palpitoad. For some reason, I love it.

    I keep going back and forth about a bunch of these, but this is the list I've come up with for the time being. In some cases, if I liked a dual-type Pokemon enough to pick it twice, I instead picked it for just one of its types and picked my next favorite Pokemon of the remaining type.

    Grass: Bulbasaur
    Fire: Charizard (runners up: Typhlosion and Charmander)
    Water: Blastoise
    Normal: Teddiursa
    Electric: Pikachu
    Psychic: Mewtwo
    Fighting: Pancham (runner up: Gallade)
    Rock: Tyrantrum
    Ground: Quagsire
    Flying: Noctowl (very tough choice)
    Bug: Scyther
    Poison: Nidoking
    Dark: Tyranitar
    Ghost: Gengar
    Ice: Lapras
    Steel: Scizor
    Dragon: Salamence
    Fairy: Slurpuff

    It was interesting to see the breakdown of these by generation. In particular, I was surprised to see so many gen 6 Pokemon. I wasn't surprised by the high gen I representation and the reasonably high gen II representation. Many of my favorite Pokemon have similar types (e.g., I like a lot of water types), so some of the Pokemon who ranked highly on this list aren't ones I actually care about very much overall.
     
    I'm going to do something different by specifically not picking my favorites of each type, since I've already done that more times than I can count. Instead, I'm going with Pokemon that either I've recently gained an appreciation for, or they're a Pokemon I've always liked, but we're never quite my #1.

    Grass: Tsareena
    Fire: Chandelure
    Water: Wailord
    Normal: Lopunny
    Electric: Zebstrika
    Psychic: Beheeyem
    Fighting: Chesnaught
    Rock: Lycanroc
    Ground: Piloswine/Mamoswine
    Flying: Tropius
    Bug: Shedinja
    Poison: Dustox
    Dark: Incineroar
    Ghost: Mismagius
    Ice: Delibird
    Steel: Alolan Sandslash
    Dragon: Altaria
    Fairy: Mimikyu
