[Janp]

Gen I - Nidoqueen
First Pokémon I've ever caught in Yellow was female Nidoran and Nidoqueen is still my favourite Pokémon from this gen to this day.

Gen II - Heracross
Mostly because of the anime, but it's also the first badass Bug-type Pokémon.

Gen III - Slakoth
My favourite animal is sloth. So a sloth Pokémon is clear choice.

Gen IV - Rotom
It became one of my favourite Ghost-types only recently and I started using it more and more.

Gen V - Audino
Not only this Pokémon makes grinding in gen V games bearable, it also saved me in one of my first Black Nuzlockes.

Gen VI - Phantump
Just look at it. It's so cute. Especially its shiny variant.

Gen VII - Pyukumuku
Read Phantump. Plus it can easily solo Ultra Necrozma even without any damaging moves.

Gen VIII - Eiscue
If one Pokémon caught my eyes when looking at gen VIII Pokémon, it was Eiscue. But to be honest, I'm not really set on favourite Pokémon from this gen, since I've never played Sword or Shield and my favourite Pokémon usually forms during actual gameplay.

 

[Sheep]

Gen 1: Flareon
Gen 2: Mareep
Gen 3: Deoxys
Gen 4: Honchkrow
Gen 5: Whimsicott
Gen 6: Diancie
Gen 7: Poipole & Alolan Vulpix
Gen 8: Wooloo & Galarian Ponyta

Was hard to pick for some!

Gen V - Audino
Not only this Pokémon makes grinding in gen V games bearable, it also saved me in one of my first Black Nuzlockes.

Another favorite, seeing someone actually list it as their favorite Unova mon makes me so happy. It's adorable, especially the mega.

 

[Corveone]

-Ninetales
-Houndoom
-Mawile
-Froslass
-I don't have one
-Trevenant/Aurorus
-Salazzle
-Not yet, few Gen 8 Pokémon I've tried so probably too early for me to decide.

Runner ups: Miltank, Donphan, Claydol, Staraptor, Honchkrow, Mismagius, Torterra, Whimsicott, Malamar, Mudsdale, Frosmoth.

 

[Zed01]

It was hard to choose for some generations but this is what I ended up with:

Gen 1: Dragonite (Venusaur is a close second)
Gen 2: Steelix
Gen 3: Dusclops
Gen 4: Gliscor (Mismagius/Mamoswine are a close second)
Gen 5: Crustle
Gen 6: Goodra (Talonflame is a close second)
Gen 7: Salazzle (hardest Gen to choose since I like Midday Lycanroc, Alolan Ninetales and Naganadel just as much as Salazzle)
Gen 8: Centiskorch

 

[ReKoil]

Gen 1 - Lapras

Wasn't easy to decide between Lapras and Eevee/Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon tbh.... but ended up going for Lapras as it was at one point in fact my favorite mon =3
Vaporeon would take second place =3

Gen 2 - Meganium & Espeon

Really the entire Chikorita line though =3
And I love Umbreon too though, but not as much as Espeon.
It's a close call between Meganium and Espeon, but others have already posted ties, so I ain't forcing myself to choose ^.^

Gen 3 - Milotic

There are several great mon lines in Hoenn, but Milotic just sticks out above everything else for me.

Gen 4 - Glaceon, hands down.

Froslass and Leafeon being the closest competitors.

Gen 5 - Kyurem

Swanna and Serperior being close competition for it.

Gen 6 - Amaura & Delphox

I had a hard time deciding for gen 6. I love Amaura and Delphox the most though.
Additionally the florges line is amazing. And then there's Sylveon, Aurorus, Goodra, Xerneas, Diancie.

Gen 7 - Alolan Ninetales

Cutiefly/Ribombee, Torracat, Oricorio (Baile & Sensu), Jangmo-o line, Tapu Lele & Tapu Fini.
Nebby Cosmog and Lunala. Pheromosa, Magearna, Poipole.
All strong contenders, but in the end they can't compete with Alolan Ninetales for me.

Gen 8 - Toxtricity (Amped Form) & Falinks

Had Toxtricity (Amped) on my 1st playthrough and loved it ^.^
Falinks is just a design I love even if I didn't use it on my playthrough team.

Hatterene line, Glastrier and Galarian Ponyta line gave these two strong competition though =3
Was highly tempted to go with any of the others too xD

 

[colours]

moving this to pokemon general as it fits better there~

 

[Devalue]

Generation 1: Starmie
Wonders how much the Red/Blue sprites (and anime) influenced this. Lacks a facial expression. Cannot look weird, like other sprites. Eyes Wigglypuff in particular for that,

Generation 2: Espeon
Evidently loves red gems set into purple Pokemon.

Generation 3: Flygon
The one highlight of the generation.

Generation 4: Glaceon
Was Luxray when originally playing the game.

Generation 5: Zorua?
Hemmed and hawed between this, Victini, and Joltik/Galvantula. Likes its design and ability. Easily the weakest pick of the eight.

Generation 6: Aegislash
Owes this honor to its ability. Felt very tactical to switch forms. Gives Floette the runner-up spot.

Generation 7: Torracat
A fierce cat. Ruined it with abs and bipedal movement.

Generation 8: Corviknight
Fails to explain this well. Might like the idea of a bird knight more than the execution. Wants a bit more color, like Skarmory.

 

[icycatelf]

Gen. I: Wartortle Currently my favorite Pokémon. It has a fantastic aesthetic and, between writing a short story about it with my mom and my dad getting me a bootleg sticker card of it from the gas station (I love those bootleg sticker cards), it's also really nostalgic.

Lickitung is a close second. I remember getting its card from Burger King's first movie promotion (my first, IIRC) and showing it off like it was the coolest thing. It inspired a short story as well.

Gen. II: Dunsparce Inspired by childhood memories of trying to evolve one into a Gligar in Silver Version and having recently learned about chaining, I decided to try my luck one Christmas when Dunsparce were swarming in Pearl. Despite having no repels or knowing all the tricks I know now, I got it on my first try! By sheer chance, it also had the perfect Nature-Ability combo (Adamant + Serene Grace). I waited until HGSS to start training him and considered him my "mascot" for years.

Gen. III: Shedinja I've always thought it was interesting with its unique ability and obtaining method, but it wasn't until having an outbreak of periodical cicadas and finding their shells all over the place that I made the connection and really fell in love with it. Turning something that looks like an insect corpse into a Bug/Ghost Pokémon is just perfect! I also dig its aesthetic, reminding me of some kind of ancient relic.

Gen. IV: Leafeon My favorite Eeveelution and second favorite Pokémon visually. I could easily imagine having a Leafeon IRL. I cloned a Shiny Eevee I SR'd in VC Gold and transferred one to evolve into Leafeon and find myself wanting to keep him in my lead most of the time! I just adore that cat-like aesthetic and natural yet mystical feel.

Mothim is a close second. Well, at least Shiny Mothim. I consider my Shiny Mothim to be my most cherished Shiny and my most labor intensive hunt, having taken nearly a year (often wielding two systems at once). He's sadly been stuck in HOME for over a year and I don't plan on getting BDSP, but I'm hoping I'll be able to transfer him to Legends: Arceus. Luxio is also up there.

Gen. V: Vanillite I don't get the hate this cutie gets. I admit that I'm not too keen on Vanillish, but Vanilluxe is alright.

Oshawott is a close second. It just appealed to me from the get-go, maybe because it looked like it could evolve into an Ice-type.

Gen. VI: Meowstic (Male) There are two things I tend to look for in new batches of Pokémon: Ice-types and cats. Avalugg was actually my original favorite from this Gen., but I recently got a full-odds Shiny Meowstic in XY, trading him to ORAS for contests and have grown quite attached to him.

Gen. VII: Alolan Sandslash Sandslash is one of my favorite and most nostalgic Pokémon from Gen. I, so I was excited to see it get rebooted with my favorite type! I'm admittedly not a fan of its Sugimori art, but its in-game models look great!

Gen. VIII: Frosmoth I adore moths and consider Ice my favorite type, so it's like it was made for me!

 

[Latios_Enjoyer]

Gen 1: Mewtwo, Because it's Mewtwo.
Gen 2: Crobat, Because it made the most annoying line in the game be useful.
Gen 3: Not sure on this one, But I'll give it to Seagull.
Gen 4: Bidoof, Because who wouldn't enjoy god.
Gen 5: Samurott, Because they were my first starter.
Gen 6: Mega Mawile, Because Mawile being a top tier makes me laugh.
Gen 7: Necrozma, Because who wouldn't enjoy god.
Gen 8: Cinderace, Because they killed Nessa's Drednaw as a Scorbunny, and killed Leon's Charizard with one strike as a Cinderace. Certainly a strong Pokémon to have on your side.

Some bonus stuff.
Mega: Mega Mawile(Check Gen 4 for info)
Pseudo Legend 1: Garchomp, Because it's Garchomp.
Pseudo Legend 2: Metagross belongs here too.
Giantamax: Meowth, Because I enjoy suffering.
Legendary: Groudon, Because they are able to 1v1 a water type in the middle of the ocean. What a Legend.
Mythical: Victini, Because lore states I could 1v100 a hoard of Machamps as long as Victini was with me.
Favorite Pokémon: Bidoof, Because it made me turn into a religious person.

Thanks for reading.

[Ivysaur]

I recently answered this question in a tweet!

Kanto: Ivysaur
Johto: Espeon
Hoenn: Tropius
Sinnoh: Roserade
Unova: Maractus
Kalos: Braixen
Alola: Mimikyu
Galar: Raboot

The first ones were a struggle, as Vileplume and Crobat are up there; Swampert is also a fav and I also really like Croagunk and Drapion from Gen IV, but that's what my heart went for.

 

[TacoTach]

Gen 1: Charizard (duh!)
Gen 2: Ho-Oh
Gen 3: Metagross

Not familiar enough with gens 7 & 8.

Gen 3: Beautifly, Gardevoir

Gen 4: Lopunny, Glaceon

Gen 5: Liligant

Gen 6: Sylveon

Gen 7: Lunala, Alolan Ninetales

Gen 8: Zacian, Galarian Rapidash

 

[Adam Levine]

Generation I: Porygon. This is a tough one for me, since I'm not fond of the original 151.
Generation II: Sneasel. It used to be my favorite Pokémon of all time, until Charjabug.
Generation III: Tropius. Like, what's not to love about it (except for its stats)?
Generation IV: Porygon-Z. I mean, just look at it! It's so unique.
Generation V: Golurk. It's a ghost mech! It just checks so many boxes for me.
Generation VI: Espurr. I'm not sure if it's because of the old memes, but I think it's adorable. I have a plush of it, too.
Generation VII: Charjabug. I just love everything about it, right down to the fact that it's a cocoon Pokémon that's actually usable.
Generation VIII: Appletun. The Applin line in general are some of the most cleverly designed Pokémon, in my opinion.

 

[Sweet Serenity]

My favorite Pokémon from each generation are as follows:

Generation I: Starmie - Great Pokemon, beautiful, and she was appealing in the anime when Misty used her. This is also my all-time favorite Pokemon. (Favorite legendary of this generation is Zapdos because it was the only Electric-type to bypass Ground-type moves in this generation).
Generation II: Tyranitar - Very strong and tough looking. It was worth the leveling up to get. (My favorite legendary was Lugia, mainly because of the second Pokémon movie, which I enjoyed).
Generation III: Gardevoir - I love her because she is very elegant and is a strong special attacker. Blaziken is an extremely close second. (My favorite legendary is Kyorge because I love strong Water-types).
Generation IV: Garchomp - This one was extremely tough because I love many Pokémon from this generation such as Weavile, Electivire, Mismagius, Magnezone, Togekiss, Honchkrow, and so on, but Garchomp has helped me win the most battles, so I guess he gets a slight bump to first place. (My favorite legendary Pokémon this generation was Dialga because of its Dragon/Steel typing, which makes it super tough).
Generation V: Haxorus - I loved A LOT of Pokémon from this generation, but I loved Iris's Axew from the anime, which made me have to get one for myself, and I love Haxorus's high attack stat, which is perfect for sweeping. (My favorite legendary of this era was Reshiram because it is beautiful, has a great cry, great stats, represents the truth, has great lore behind it, and I can go on and on. It is also my all-time favorite legendary).
Generation VI - Sylveon - Very cute new Eeveelution that represented the new Fairy-type, which I love. Greninja was also a very close second. (My favorite legendary was Yvetal because it was just so dark and destructive, which is something different for Pokémon).
Generation VII - Decidiueye - Very cool grassy, ghostly owl archer. I love it. Primirana is also very close second because she is beautiful and elegant like Gardevoir. (My favorite legendary was Lunala from Ultra Moon because it looked so cool and creepy. Not sure if Ultra Beasts count as legendaries, but of all them, I loved Buzzwole because that design is incredible).
Generation VIII - I am currently new to this generation, as I only got Pokémon Sword for 2021 Christmas, but so far, my starter Pokémon Inteleon seems to be my favorite for now. I love that animation for Snipe Shot and all the critical hits I land. (I haven't reach the point in the game where I got to experience any generation 8 legendaries, but I will update when I do).
