Steel yourself, oh fellow members, for a list of epic proportions! The list is in the order of the Shinou dex, as I find that rather easy to follow. I mean, you can't expect me to put them in order of favorites, right?
Hikozaru and its evolutions: There is just something about monkeys that I enjoy. Add to the monkey-ness a dash of Fire-typing, and you get my favorite starter of D/P. Besides, monkeys are cute, and remind me of my brother. Hikozaru's final evolution, Goukazaru, also has a feel of an Egyptian warrior to it to me. I am a fan of ancient Egypt.
Mukkuru: I have alway been a fan of the generic bird-type that you run into early in the game. This one is the cutest of them all. It pleases me that I get to see it and catch it early. Heck, I might just catch two, so that I can evolve one for the dex, and save the other as the cute pre-evolution.
Pachirisu: It's an electric squirrel. The colors of it make it stand out from being the Generic Squirrel Pokémon. It also looks vaguely like a chipmunk, but still, it is a squirrel. Squirrels are cute...if dirty...
Bouysel: I have always enjoyed this little guy. And upon typing this, I realised that I could quite possibly build my entire team from the ones I just listed. Oh well. They are cute. Bouysel is one of the few Water-types that I actually enjoy seeing. I guess I just like the mammal-esque of this one, as it is different from the normal fish and amphibians.
Etebossu: Aipom gets an evolution! It's a monkey and it's a big monkey at that! Besides, there is something charming about that grin it has.
Rioru: I wasn't a fan of Lucario, but now that I have seen its pre-evolution, I like this evolution line! I know next to nothing about this little guy...aside from that he has cute floppy ears.

Hmm...not as epic as I had originally thought. Oh well. But there you go. My favorites of D/P. And yes, I want plushies of these guys.
