I always loved the vast majority of Gen 5's designs. There were only a few I couldn't warm up to and even so, they were far fewer than any other generation.
Here are some Pokemon that I liked since I first saw them but have come to
love since then.
I completely overlooked these two. I thought the first stage was cute and the second stage was cool but they didn't stand out to me. The more I look at them, the more I realize they are by far my favorite ice types.
These guys have a similar story to the polar bears. I thought they were cool but I didn't give them much thought. It wasn't until I read their pokedex entry that I realized what amazing Pokemon they really are. They
definitely have secured themselves a spot on my team.
I hated this guy at first. I can't stand humanoid Pokemon to begin with but I found this one particularly ugly. I'm not sure why, maybe from watching BW, videos but he has definitely gained my affection.
This one was a bit shocking to me. I haven't liked a regional bird since the Pidgey line. I saw this line's first stage when it was leaked and thought it was cool but didn't think I would be catching one. Since watching BW videos, I have fallen head over heels for this line. I don't know what it is but they have grown to be my favorite bird Pokemon yet.
When I first saw this line all I could think was 'meh.' The first stage gets credit for suckering me in. I think it's absolutely adorable and has
really grown on me. I've considered doing a solo run with this line once I complete my initial run through.
This little guy gets cuter the longer you look at him.
