]Believe it or not, my favorite fourth generation Pokémon would have to be Buizel.
I don't know why, but Buizel was the very first water-type Pokémon I actually took a quick liking too. That little water weasel is incredibly adorable and it's evolution is pretty darn strong. From the very first screenshot I witnessed with the little guy in it, I knew I wanted it on my in-game team. So, when that brand new Pearl version came to my door, I knew what the first Pokémon I would be looking for was.
