Has the anime made you like some Pokemon more?

    • Or maybe caused you to like them less?

    What I mean by this is maybe seeing a Pokemon being animated made it look more appealing to you. For example, I didn't like Minccino until I saw the episode where Bianca caught one in BW, then I decided that it was pretty cute and I liked it a lot :) So has anyone else had this experience?

    • Bet anyone didn't know this, but the anime played a small part in making Oshawott the mascot Pokemon you know me associated with today. I did like the Pokemon's design initially but it was hearing its voice in the anime that made it seal the deal as my Poke-Mascot to this day.

    The anime gives personality to some pokemon. Like, I really love Snivy, and Froakie's/Greninja's attitude and personality. Plus I have a thing for Meowth thanks to the Anime, so I always train one up to lvl 100 and never evolve it.

    • Since I started watching the anime before playing the games, I guess I like some of my favourite Pokemon because of the anime.

    Bye Bye Psyduck is the reason why Golduck was one of my favourite Pokemon when I was a kid.

    Seeing how cute Dratini is in Beauty is Skin Deep made me like it as much as Dragonair and Dragonite.

    Furret became one of my favourites after seeing one frolick in the grass in the 4th movie. That movie is also what made me like Scizor and Sneasel.

    Ever since Dawn caught Togekiss, I started liking that Pokemon more.

    Any episode with May's Skitty in is the reason I like that Pokemon and Delcatty.

    I didn't really care about Emolga until I saw Iris'.

    • The only Pokemon that really stands out as the anime making me like it more was Meloetta. Meloetta's story arc was quite fun. Oh, right, and Mewtwo as well.

    Outside of that, no Pokemon stand out as being favorites of mine because of the anime.

    I used to hate Quagsire until I saw the episode of the anime where the Quagsire steal all the balls. Now I find them adorable.

    • Buterfree, for sure. I don't have much of a story behind that, though! Before the Pokemon anime, I never really gave much thought about Litleo, but seeing how the anime tried pulling a Lion King idea with it really made me appreciate the Pokemon more, tbh. That was a fun time. Many other Pokemon in general, though, but those are the two I can think of off the top of my head that stood out to me far more.

    I think it's the other way around for me. I play the games and then want to watch the anime. I am always especially interested in new regions, because I can't wait to see how the Pokemon play out on TV.

    • The shows definitely made me like Noivern, Torkoal, Hawlucha and Glalie more. I usually become a huge fan of the pokemon Ash uses in most cases. I never liked Goomy or its line until Ash caught one.

    • There are two reasons why I changed my mind about choosing Piplup as my starter in Pearl; I don't like its evolutions as much as the other two starters and I found Dawn's Piplup in the anime annoying because of how bratty he was and how much he was shoved in our faces along with Pikachu. However, I grew to like him a little by the end of the DP series and I even felt bad for him in Memories are Made of Bliss.

    • Two of my favourite Pokemon (Buizel and Mawile) are due to the anime. Buizel due to Ash's Buizel who was really cool and Mawile due to an episode where someone's Mawile fell in love with Brock's Lombre.
