Favorite Pokemon

I like all pokemon but I love only Charizard!
 
Blaziken - A fiery chicken that can kick the crap out of you: yes please!
 
If I had to pick a single favorite, I'd choose banette. I don't know why, I've just been drawn to it since it first came out. It has a sad backstory. It was just thrown out after giving all its love, and now it seeks the person who threw it away. I guess I can relate, since I hold onto grudges as well. It's also really cute though! and it's a doll! and I do really like ghost types.
 
This is a tough one..how does one person pick only one pokemon. I have to go with Absol. Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
 
I like all Pokemon but my favorite would have to be Scizor.
 
Favourite pokemon is always tough because it's the sort of thing that can change day to day. And not to mention the series has been around so long now and a lot of pokemon have changed in the way we think about them too. Vaporeon used to be seen as a strong water type for instance, but now might be seen as an annoying stall pokemon. How the pokemon look in game has changed a lot as well from being black and green sprites on a gameboy to the brilliant 3D models we have now. Funnily enough there are actually a couple of pokemon I think looked better back in the old Red and Blue sprites, Dragonite being the best example. He looked like a fierce dragon back then, whereas he looks a bit nonthreatening now.

After all that I do have a couple of answers for the question. The first is Eevee which is a bit of a cop out answer as I love most of the Eeveelutions and Eevee can evolve into any of them (and is incredibly cute in it's own right). But my real answer is Murkrow, and that's based purely on design. Dark types were a big thing for gen 2, and to me Murkrow is pretty much the quintessential dark type. It's dex description is the Darkness pokemon after all. It's just looks so sneaky and sinister too. I imagine Murkrow in the classic conscience dilemma with angel on one should and the devil on the other with Murkrow as the devil, as the bad conscience, the corrupting force. From a design standpoint, it just works, with the nods to things like The Raven while also retain it's own unique qualities.
 
Well if my name doesn't point the answer to you, my favorite Pokemon is Blaziken. Not only is he one of the strongest fire Pokemon, has really good stats, and is Badass looking, he always had a place in my heart. My first Pokemon game was Ruby, and when I was going to pick my starter, I accidentally picked Torchic instead of Mudkip, which I really wanted -_-. I was going to restart the game, until I gave Torchic a chance. Throughout the game he has been kicking ass, and I was happy I had him. When he finally evolved into Blaziken, he literally destroyed anyone he fought, and the ones that looked at him funny. Ever since Ruby, Blaziken is considered my favorite Pokemon of all time. Can't wait to bring him back on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire :D.
 
I am a huge fan of Wailord (pun intended).

However, I never truly used one that much. On the flip side, Gyarados winds up on my team no matter what game I'm playing, from Blue to White. So I think Gyarados is my favorite based on how much I love to use it.
 
I've already discussed this before, but my #1 favorite Pokémon is none other than Lapras. The enigmatic Water/Ice-type transport, amazingly designed and has a lot to utilize.

Other than that, Houndoom and Scolipede are my other two favorites. As far as the other regions go, I have Aggron, Staraptor and Heliolisk up there.
 
To be honest... snorlax and licky licky are without a doubt my top 2 favorite pokemon
 
Ninetales is my absolute favorite, and it will never change. This is the Pokemon I want to have in every single Pokemon game.
 
My all-time favorite would have to be none other than Mantine. He's taken my spot ever since his introductory generation. I was so glad I picked Gold over Silver. His overall design is brilliant and I like his lore, stats, and moves.

It's weird to have him as a favorite because of how hateful the community is toward him. I'm not ashamed to say I've been using him competitively since 4th gen, with very successful results. I love the new AV set gen 6 gave him. Maybe I'm just good with him due to using him since his introductory gen. Under my command, a Mantine is not unlike Giantdad. Everyone won't shut up about how much he sucks and how I shouldn't use him, but if I'm winning, then why stop? This Pokemon is bro material and you bet your ass I'll rep him til the end, even if I'm the only one.
