I am in love with Infernape. Don't worry, it's nothing pokemon X human crap. Just the way you love your pets.🐶
It has been my starter in all the Sinnoh games I've ever played. Trying out a different one never crossed my mind.
In the anime, I admire Ash's Infernape becuase he looks like Sun Wukong from the Journey to the West legend or maybe even a bit like Goku, when he had a tail (i think?). In the anime as a Chimchar he didn't have a great start in life whatsoever especially his time as Paul's Pokemon, the poor little guy was traumatized by Paul and even from his teammates. When Chimchar lost in a tournament Paul released him still injured but Ash stepped in and took Chimchar as his new Pokemon. Ash really did take the time, paitence and understanding for Chimchar, Chimchar worked hard to control his awesome powers as well as his dark side, evoled into Monferno then finally Infernape.Infernape became Ash's powerhouse and loyal true friend. I would like an Infernape to be my Pokemon friend too, if I someday end up in the Pokemon universe, that is!

My favourite(s) are easily the Lake Guardians. All the legendary trios before them were of the rough and rugged sort (Birds, Dogs, Golems). The Lake Guardians were the first "majestic" legendary trio and I've always thought they were among the best legendary trio out there.

So far in my game, I have to say Gastrodon is a pleasant surprise. Mostly, this type combo is always great, but already when I caught it on Lv 12 or so, Shellos had good moves (Water Pulse, Mud Bomb) that were useful.
I also always really liked Monferno and Infernape c: And Weavile ofc!

I'll just go with my favorites.
Garchomp is my number one in Gen IV and my favorite Dragon-type. Its got a great design and will absolutely wreck you in battle as long as it can avoid Ice-type moves.
Luxray is an absolute beast of an attacker and looks like one you don't want to mess with. If only it were a Dark-type like it should be to take advantage of STAB Crunch...
Staraptor is my favorite of the Normal/Flying-types out there. Having Close Combat with that large Attack stat is devastating.
As far as evolutions from previous generations go, Gliscor and Gallade are my favorites. They both have awesome designs, good movepools and can deal a good bit of damage.

Infernape hands down will be my favorite Gen IV pokemon.
Gliscor coming in on a close second though.

Sinnoh was the height and almost the end of my pokemon days, but I have many pokemon from it that I love. This was probably due to the fact that Sinnoh Saga lasted so long... I think it lasted for like 5 years.
Similar to my other post about Alolan Pokemon, I will do this here as well.
Loves:
Honestly, I loved most of the pokemon in Sinnoh. If they aren't listed, then they just aren't as memorable or I didn't start liking them till later on. However, there are a few that I just can't stand.
Magmortar - I have never liked any of the designs in Magmar's line. Magmortar just took the ugliness and made it worse.
Spiritomb - I was never a fan of the design and I could never figure out how to catch the pokemon.
Bronzong line - Again... this pokemon was pure uglyness to me. I like Purugly more, and that isn't a good thing... At least the point of Purugly being ugly was justified in the name
Cherrim - Ok. I love Cherrim, but the design in the game annoys me. It looks amazing when Sunny Day is active, but that's the problem and I really think it is an extremely dumb problem. More than half the time, Cherrim is in its Overcast form which doesn't even look like a pokemon. I don't understand why Sunny Day must be active in order for it to be in its true form and that has always annoyed me. Cherrim's Sunny Day form should always be active as long as it is day time and not raining or snowing.
