I have the problem that I really can't decide on my number one favorite Pokémon. I guess 493 is just too much to choose only one, but I can say that I do favor Electivire, Beautifly, and Houndoom the most. Electivire just seems like an all around cool Pokémon to me. He has a cool design, powerful stats, and can learn some helpful moves. As for Beautifly, I guess you can blame the anime for this one. Ever since I saw May/Haruka with one, I just naturally fell obsessed with it. When I finally got to train one in Ruby, I just couldn't have an in-game team without the beautiful butterfly. As for Houndoom, I can honestly say I never considered it a favorite, until the day came when I owned a Doberman on my own. After that, I just had a natural likeness to Houndoom.
