ETC...

The way you set up the questions is going to be a PGC-related thread so I'm moving this there.

I've gotta vote Tyranitar. Awesome typing and Sand Stream to help his already pretty good Sp. Def. Breed Curse onto a baby larvitar and it can become very tankish and very powerful when it grows up. :D

 

[CheshireNeko]

Metagross. I love the design and typing, (a non-squishy Psychic, yay).

 

[Calamity]

I think i'm gonna' have to go for Salamence, its just the definition of badass dragon and I think it was the 1st pseudo I actually managed to raise myself, Metagross comes a close second for its awesome typing though.

 

[csa99]

strange to see such a mixed opinion, each one has 1 vote

 

[Dark Piplup]

Well that is very hard. I like Tyranitar and Dragonite. Probably Dragonite. It is a great gen. 1 classic.

 

[Houli]

Metagross. The bad memories of Stephen's Metagross destroying my team with Meteor Mash make it stick out as a badass Pokémon.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Tie between Salamence, Garchomp and Hydreigon because all 3 have cool designs. Among those, Garchomp is the most destructive pseudo-legend in battle, IMO.

 

[Crystalized]

I voted for Metagross, on Pokemon Online my Agility Metagross swept so many teams.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

I really like Metagross, but I imagine I could come to love Hydreigon, which I keep misspelling as Hydregion, which Bulbapedia really doesn't like!

With Metagross, it's the typing, mainly. I like Steel Pokemon for the most part, and I like Psychic Pokemon for the most part. It's nice seeing a Physical Psychic, as well as seeing a really offensive Steel type. If it was slightly faster, it'd be no contest between it and Hydreigon. With Hydreigon, the typing is also good but I haven't really had a chance to use one in Black as of yet. It could overtake Metagross in my estimation if it is a beast to use... which it may well be!

 

[Hooh]

Hydreigon is amazing, in terms of design and stats. Shiny makes him better

Dragonite... Ugh, he doesn't LOOK powerful, he looks like a fat, Charizard copycat... *Hides*

 

[Krovvy]

I love Salamence. Good memories with him. Great attack stats.

 

[Derezzed]

I love them all dearly but my favourite would have to be Metagross.

 

[solarowl]

I love most of them actually.
I've always liked Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon mostly because of looks, but Garchomp especially because it's beastly in battle. Metagross and Tyranitar also get an honorable mention, as I've used both, snd both were awesome.

 

[Seeds Horizon]

Ive truthfully never used any of these Pokes..In R/S/E I wanted a Salamance, but never knew where to get one. Same with Tyranitar..The others I dont really want..Except Dragonite, whom im going to train up from my level five Dratini as soon as I get the last two Kanto badges <3.

 

[NamelessGuy]

I detest almost all of the psuedo-legendaries, excluding Hydreigon, Garchomp, and Metagross. The rest of them are just irritating. Especially Dragonite.

 

[razzbat]

my favourites are tyranitar and hydreigon. tyranitar for being so badass in the 4th movie and being a valuable member on my team for soul silver (didnt use him much in silver). hydreigon for looking so freaking awesome and for his pokedex entries.
"Anything that moves seems like a foe to it, triggering its attack."
"They use all three heads to consume and destroy everything."

heh, you just listed half of them :P

anyways, my favorite pseudo-legendary has to be tyranitar.. I've used it whenever the game had it available, and I like the design of it too :)

 

[Shining Raichu]

I voted Dragonite because it's like the mascot for power in the Pokemon world. It's also got tons of memories attached from childhood, which is becoming a stock answer for me in these sorts of threads, but it is what it is.

My second choice would have been Metagross.
