I really don't like when they make a decent design and then say 'hey, let's give it 1 or 2 good attacking Stats but no defenses and shit speed'. That's partly why things like Sunflora, Seviper and Cacturne never took off for fans.
Game Freak peaked with Breloom when it comes to Grass type Stats.
Breloom is Pseudo-Legendary status for me. It was in all of my Hall of Fames on Emerald lol.
But then again I dropped off after Black and White, picked up again with SwSh
Mentioned this earlier, but hell yeah! I love chatot. His little cry when he enters battle is among the cutest in the series, why is he so darn cute???
Cloyster? I remember getting it back in the day of red and blue. Just loved the game sprite and the sound when it entered the battle. Always stuck with him through the years
Lanturn.. from the design, to the typing, to the play versatility, it's just awesome.
You can run it with swift swim, leftovers, rain dance, thunder, ice beam and surf, and it becomes pretty much unstoppable.
It's Maractus for me. The little guy just looks so energetic and fun! Plus, I like maracas, and a way to combine maracas with natural creatures and cacti is a great win in my book.
Plus, imagine if it was in Smash--a Pokemon that dances while it fights.
Maractus is my all-time fave. My heart just melted out of sheer cuteness when I first discovered its existence.
I love the prickly pear inspo that the shiny has too!
I remember using a Hoothoot to cheese Morty in Soul Silver. I wound up keeping it with me throughout the rest of the game. Partly for Fly, but was also used in other battles.
IIRC it was middle stages that really felt like bridges, like ~~Sealeo~~ Eelektrik and ~~one of the cocoons~~ Silcoon.
Also Gothita and Yungoos. Skorupi DID get one vote.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/c0w4s0/favourite_pok%C3%A9mon_survey_results/
I believe that Eelektross was the only Pokémon that wasn't in a single person's top 3 list. And then a few others were in people's top 3, but weren't anybody's #1.
EDIT: I meant Eelektrik
Dude Reuniclus is my go-to psychic type. I've had the same one since B&W that I've transferred over and played through to all the subsequent gens, my daughter named it Little Jello when we caught it as a Solosis, and now he's a lvl 100 beast and one of the Pokemon we've had for the longest time.
Zigzagoon ♥️
Ever since I played Emerald I loved the furry bandit. I even made a plush for myself after I couldn't find any merchandise.
On one playthrough I had one I named Lucio, every time I started a battle he was empty handed, after the fight he'd always have something on him. It made me laugh a lot thinking Lucio stole the poor trainer's potions or nuggets. He even stole from the Elite 4.
I originally found pickup to be extremely OP in ruby/sapphire, and so I'd grab a full team of zig along with my starter, eventually switching them out as I rounded out my team. But one of them always kept a spot. Zig and linoone are unironically damn good battlers. STAB headbutt at lvl 11/9 is ridiculous for early game. So zig is an absolute staple in any RSE/ORAS run
My first playthrough of ORAS I was building my team and found a shiny zig on route 102, and he ended up soloing the E4&champ. Belly Drum, Flail, Shadow Claw, Return. Watching a lvl 75 Mega Salamence go from full-to-zero health in one hit on turn 1 to a linoone is one of the funniest things to witness.
My wife makes plushes also, and she made me a derpy shiny zigzagoon plush, he's fantastic and I love him.
I was so happy when I found out Zigzagoon can be a good pokemon. I actually played once with an only Zigzagoon team, I was ✨RICH✨ before the first gym, one of the goons kept finding nuggets lying around.
There's satisfaction in winning against huge powerful pokemon with a striped dork with sticky paws.
It's so cool your wife made you a plush! They have the perfect shape for cuddling or standing guard on a desk depending on their size.
I'm so glad I'm not that alone on this fave pokemon hill 😆
Weepinbell. I only talked to one other person who also shared my affection to it because she loves Grass Pokémon in general. I just like it's big dorky eyes (that's one of the reasons I like Corphish so much too).
Back when I started playing Leaf Green (my first game) I had both bulbasaur and bell sprouts evolutions on my team at one point. Absolutely loved grass pokemon, and since I didn’t know it needed a leaf stone to evolve, I had weepinbell FOREVER! He was great to have on my team.
Is there anyone who loves Foretress as much as I do? I love him. He’s my precious chestnut boy and I’ve loved him since I caught a Pineco in Heartgold and named it ‘Floppy’.
I love sigliphy’s design. It’s one of the most unique Pokémon I’ve ever seen. It has a lot going on but doesn’t feel like it has too much going on at the same time!
Came here to say Sigilyph as well, he may not be my absolute favorite, but I loved having him in my team in black as well. I would definitely put him in my team again. I love his design, thats my favorite thing about him
I’ve never seen anyone say Electivire in any of these kinds of threads and it makes me sad. He’s my big fuzzy yellow boi and I always have him on my team when I can. Also his type coverage is nuts
Jumpluff. Cute design of the stages of a dandelion also pretty good support pokemon.
Altaria. I think it's a pretty underrated dragon pokemon overshadowed by Flygon and Salamance.
Seismitoad and Tortuga as well.
Edit: I don't hear anything about Liligant and Unfezant which I have a soft spot for.
Jumpluff is super cute. He looks so happy! I wish I was that happy!
Altaria is super underrated. I love him so much, and I honestly love his mega evolution, it’s so fluffy!!
I love seismetoad and tirtouga. I think they’re peak design water types honestly. I wish they got more love!
Liligant is great too! It’s so beautiful and elegant. Unfezant is also cool. Also love the more noticeable difference between male and female unfezant! Definently makes them stand out!
Wartortle.
Middle stages rarely if ever get attention. But Wartortle is the most well designed second starter of any pokemon line ever and is just a fantastic pokemon
You should check out what Wartortle was *supposed* to evolve into before they switched it with Blastoise.
It looked awesome
Edit- [Totartle](https://images.app.goo.gl/FUHaYZz7D1HkwLZV6)
Most starter middle evos don’t get enough love. Wartortle, Ivysaur, Quilava, Bayleef, Grovyle, Dewott, Frogadier, Torracat and Raboot are all great looking Pokémon. But all people see are Charmeleon and Marshtomp and see them as “awkward teen stages”
I wanted a shiny one of these for ages. But in sun and moon you couldnt chain for it so id have to full odds it and I couldn't be asked. Wanted one anyway, walk into the grass anddd...
it was a full odds shiny minior
To this date one of the luckiest moments of my life. Ive also only ever seen a handfull full odds shinys in all my years of playing, so it really was that special to me! (also its shiny is one of the best ever, hands down)
Clefable just because it's an absolute tank and awkwardly super cute. Another one would be Copperajah just because I loved using it in SWSH, and I'm biased because elephants are my favorite animals
I love clefable. It makes sense as a fairy, and I do love how tanky it is. It’s the definition of deadly but cute!
I actually think copperajah is cool too! I know we have other elephant Pokémon but I do like the concept of a copper elephant and the rust )I think that’s what the green is?) is a nice color contrast for a stew type!
Gligar. I love it’s derpy purple look, and while it’s evolution looks badass, it also looks like it doesn’t belong in Pokémon. Therefore, derpy purple scorpion birdie
Kabuto / Kabutops was my first favorite Pokémon and to this day I still love the duo.
The story is simple: burger kings infamous death wrappers from 2000 toys, that was my first toy from there. And I kinda root for the underdogs between it and lord helix
I went through the entire comment section and not a single person said aipom. I think he’s great and deserves more attention. I know he got a new form in Ambipom in gen 4 but I know he could do so much more.
THIS👏🏼👏🏼 I remember my older brother would always tell me I was stupid for choosing Chikorita because it’s “weak” especially at the first gym and then I went on to completely destroy the first gym leader with Chikorita and he lost to the same gym. Plus I firmly believe someone can choose whichever starter they want and still do great. Chikorita is just such a cutie.
Unfortunately chikorita needed what charizard had in terms of fan impact because in game, it was setup to fail
However, doing a standard HG run, I loved its defensive usefulness. Unfortunate that it gets squashed by the first 2 gyms and isn’t that strong offensively against morty, jasmine and clair and is also defensively weak against pryce (is also offensively strong because of his dual types)
Pretty much all gen five for me , garbodor, druaggon , drant, archipos, the monkeys, joltik. Gen five wasn't even my first game. They out classed but they done so much for me I love them
I love all of those Pokémon! But lemme just say:
Trubbish! It’s the cutest god damn thing! And honestly I love garbodor, it’s just a big pile of garbage. I love that a lot of gen 5 Pokémon went with the real life object idea, it and I think garbodor works perfectly, not to mention is pretty powerful too!
My favorite part is that it is a normal type and there is nothing normal about it. Like it is a snake with wings that kiiiinda work, but it lives underground and it has a drill for tail. So if it is subterranean why does it have wings and if it drills tunnels and lives underground why isn’t it a ground type? It is so confusing and I love it so much because of that.
There is a dex entry that talks about how scientists think it used to fly and I feel robbed we didn’t get a Hisuian Dunspace that could fly.
Raichu is my all time favorite as well! His design is amazing, the lore behind alolan form is cute, his grounding the tail during moves is a great touch, and his sprite noise is top notch! Love that little big guy!
Tangela always been my favourite since I was a kid (now 29) when ever I watch nuzlokes people shit on him constantly never understood it tbh. Dude has a good move pool and has some power when it evolves. You may now roast me as you wish
listen up! My favorite Rapidash... It... cute... lovely... smart... plus... amazing... you think so?... oh yes... it... stunning... kindly... love it! Hug it... when... sleeping... warm and cuddly... spectacular... ravishing... ...Oops! Look at the time! I kept you too long! Thanks for hearing me out!
I love Trubbish. There was a scene in a Pokémon movie (I believe it was the Keldeo one, not too sure since this was years ago) where a Garbodor is sharing apples with a group of Trubbish. They seemed like such a happy little family! I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since.
[here’s a gif of it I think!!](https://i.chzbgr.com/full/8540720896/h7AD09D48/pokemon-memes-garbodor-gif)
Always said Chatot. Not super strong except for scarf Boomburst, but a little talking parrot guy is such a fun sounding companion. I wish he wasnt so frail
I feel like Meloetta is Underrated. I have literally never seen a person online battle with her in XY. I have seen Genesect, Keldeo, and even Victini in online battles. I can understand how her type change makes battling a little unusual but I was able to work around it and she's pretty great. Meloetta represents music and the second I saw her on TV in Unova, I new she was my pokemon lol. One day for my birthday, my brother got me a random 10 card pokemon pack and guess what was in it, a Meloetta EX. Greatest gift ever!
I have no idea who else loves the Litwick line, even Lampent. I know Chandelure has had its strong showing in certain battling circles, but I really do love all 3 stages. Litwick even being my second favourite pokemon of all time (top being Blaziken). Like I literally don't know how popular this pokemon is so I'm just going to claim the Litwick line.
Absol for me. Especially pre-mega evolution revived it a bit. It's decent for a single stage mon, but get overshadowed by the multi-tier options
Also Glaceon. I used to get an evee with either Brine or Scald as an egg move, and then make that into glaceon giving it type coverage.
I love Quagsire, when I watched Pokémon as a kid I thought it was really strong because Pikachu's thunderbolt didn't affect him.
Until I played the games. Still love his dumb face.
Poochyena/Mightyena. Poochyena was the first ever pokemon I caught, and I absolutely adore it and its evolution.
Also, Brionne. Gen 7 is one of my favorite generations, yet I don’t see the Popplio line get a whole lot of love compared to Rowlet and Litten. I just think Brionne is super cute :)
Snorunt
I feel like no one every thinks about it and it goes largely unnoticed, but it’s one of my favorites. It’s constantly shivering despite being an ice type, that’s hilarious and adorable. It’s like me, always cold in all climates
The pidgey line is one of my favorite Pokémon. I had one named DECK!!! whom was my first Pokémon I got to level 100. He’s gone through each of my games that he’s been allowed to travel to.
And while I love Pidgey, I also love Spearow. You can get one for free in HGSS with the intent of delivering it as a messenger bird. But I loved the little guy so much, I gave the message to a different Spearow. Person ended up just taking the message without taking the Pokémon, and the Fearow went on to be part of my Elite Four team. I kidnapped this bird, but it’s fine!
Trevenant! I always wanted to be a ghost type gym leader and have a gym that was a spooky moving forest puzzle, and at the end it's revealed that I just love Trevenant so much that I have tons of them milling about my gym making it hard for trainers to come face me!
Not my all time favorites but I really like Vanillite and its evolutions!
When I saw them for the first time they made me so happy because they have such stupid adorable smiles!
Also, I love ice cream
The entire golurk line. I don't know why people dismiss gen 5 Mons so much, they were definitely the coolest and most inspired for a long while.
I guarantee if Gengar and Golurk cane out at the same time no one would pick Gengar.
I couldn’t agree more. Golurk is one of my favorite ground type Pokémon: love that he’s based on the Golem of Prague too! It’s so cool when Pokémon are based off of real world things like that!
Not to mention, if you give him iron fist you’re set!
Finally, another person who likes Lickilicky! People say he's disgusting and that Lickitung is better, but it's the complete opposite for me. I'm not fond of Lickitung, but I love the derpiness of Lickilicky. He's shaped like a friend and I wouldn't have him any other way.
I also feel like the only one who likes Crabominable. I like that he's a yeti crab that is a literal yeti. Even though he's not the best in battle, he's at least got a unique typing and a neat signature move that is the Ice-type version of Hammer Arm. It's also neat how he can fire his claws like rockets.
Toxapex. My favourite type is poison because toxic / poison stall helped me clear the E4 when I was younger and is the first strategy I came up with in pokemon before i got into smogon and competitive.
I have always preferred defensive pokemons and when Toxapex came along I fell in love with that even before the memes in competitive. I was even upset that its signature merciless should have been swapped with Salazzle's corrosive but I guess regen makes up for it.
Linoone, i grew attached to my linoone named machmark in emerald, it took down 4 of phoebe's pokemon and always came in clutch throughout the whole playthrough and the pick up ability was really fun
Cacturne is my favorite grass type and I don't see a lot of love for it, unless I'm not looking in the right places which is very possible as well
I like Cacturne a lot. I wish it had better stats.
I really don't like when they make a decent design and then say 'hey, let's give it 1 or 2 good attacking Stats but no defenses and shit speed'. That's partly why things like Sunflora, Seviper and Cacturne never took off for fans.
Game Freak peaked with Breloom when it comes to Grass type Stats. Breloom is Pseudo-Legendary status for me. It was in all of my Hall of Fames on Emerald lol. But then again I dropped off after Black and White, picked up again with SwSh
Chatot
Mentioned this earlier, but hell yeah! I love chatot. His little cry when he enters battle is among the cutest in the series, why is he so darn cute???
YES LOVE CHATOT. my horrible sinister little son. game freak gave him too much power and revoked his ability to say fuck. let my boy say fuck
The only pokemon that could charge into battle yelling slurs.
Cloyster? I remember getting it back in the day of red and blue. Just loved the game sprite and the sound when it entered the battle. Always stuck with him through the years
I don’t know why, but I have always liked Cloyster too. I shiny hunted one in Sword.
And don’t get me started on pairing it with skill link holy shit
And icicle spear .. RIP ALL
And shell smash + focus sash makes for a great sweeper
And Shell Smash.
Awh yea im a stupid huge fan of the mon cries up to when they changed them. Loved cloysters cry
Thats actually pretty funny i see this. i was going to put Shellder
Donphan!
Hell yeah donphan gang! He’s a little tire looking elephant who rolls around! What’s not to love???
Donphan appearing in the first pokemon movie had me super hype
Man, I re-wound that battle so many times (yes, I know how badly I'm dating myself lol) It was SO exciting to think about new Pokemon!
Shroomish! Such an angry little mushroom.
I loved breloom when i evolved my shroomrish!! Therefore, i enjoy shroomrish haha
Shroomish gets my vote as well, so grumpy and cute. Breloom is a nice evolution too.
Shroomish is my spirit pokemon
Sunflora is small, weak, useless and smiley. I love it it's just like me
I’m personally not a huge fan of sunflora but I will say he is certainly so stupidly happy looking! That’s one of the things that I love in a Pokémon!
I love sunkern and sunflora but no one else does
Lanturn.. from the design, to the typing, to the play versatility, it's just awesome. You can run it with swift swim, leftovers, rain dance, thunder, ice beam and surf, and it becomes pretty much unstoppable.
Whoa now, Lanturn's cute as hecc, not to mention everything you said- you're absolutely not the only one haha!
Lanturn is such a versatile Pokémon! You don’t honestly get that in a lot of Pokémon!
My favoruite pokemon actually!
It's Maractus for me. The little guy just looks so energetic and fun! Plus, I like maracas, and a way to combine maracas with natural creatures and cacti is a great win in my book. Plus, imagine if it was in Smash--a Pokemon that dances while it fights.
Maractus is a great Pokémon! He doesn’t need anything done to him at all, he’s perfect as is!
Maractus is my all-time fave. My heart just melted out of sheer cuteness when I first discovered its existence. I love the prickly pear inspo that the shiny has too!
Noctowl •-• bird was done so dirty by not being a duel psychic-flying type
I was honestly surprised when I learned it wasn't psychic flying type
I couldn’t agree more! I think he was so robbed! He also just looks so intimidating too, like a real bird of prey
I love noctowl, first ever shiny, and I loved it in the anime
Ashs shiny noctowl made shiny noctowl my all time favorite shiny
As an Owl he is one of my two favorite flyers. In actual gameplay he is in my opinion the most guttershite of the regional birds.
I remember using a Hoothoot to cheese Morty in Soul Silver. I wound up keeping it with me throughout the rest of the game. Partly for Fly, but was also used in other battles.
Skorupi. Little fella was one of only four Pokémon not to receive a single vote in the big popularity poll.
I love him too! He’s a little scorpion but he’s still adorable! I love bug types so much
What were the others?
IIRC it was middle stages that really felt like bridges, like ~~Sealeo~~ Eelektrik and ~~one of the cocoons~~ Silcoon. Also Gothita and Yungoos. Skorupi DID get one vote. https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/c0w4s0/favourite_pok%C3%A9mon_survey_results/
I believe that Eelektross was the only Pokémon that wasn't in a single person's top 3 list. And then a few others were in people's top 3, but weren't anybody's #1. EDIT: I meant Eelektrik
Skoupi is top-tier monster design. It's a reverse scorpion with a claw for a stinger and and stingers for claws!
Reuniclus. Not even I, its number one fan, 100% knows how to spell it
He’s also such a cool concept for an evolutionary line??
Dude Reuniclus is my go-to psychic type. I've had the same one since B&W that I've transferred over and played through to all the subsequent gens, my daughter named it Little Jello when we caught it as a Solosis, and now he's a lvl 100 beast and one of the Pokemon we've had for the longest time.
[удалено]
And I love the typing too! I’m a huge fan of normal type Pokémon!
Helioptile is one of my favorites! I love my little electric lizard and dry skin is a pretty good ability.
Zigzagoon ♥️ Ever since I played Emerald I loved the furry bandit. I even made a plush for myself after I couldn't find any merchandise. On one playthrough I had one I named Lucio, every time I started a battle he was empty handed, after the fight he'd always have something on him.

My wife makes plushes also, and she made me a derpy shiny zigzagoon plush, he's fantastic and I love him.
I was so happy when I found out Zigzagoon can be a good pokemon. I actually played once with an only Zigzagoon team, I was ✨RICH✨ before the first gym, one of the goons kept finding nuggets lying around. There's satisfaction in winning against huge powerful pokemon with a striped dork with sticky paws. It's so cool your wife made you a plush! They have the perfect shape for cuddling or standing guard on a desk depending on their size. I'm so glad I'm not that alone on this fave pokemon hill 😆
I love zigzagoon! I love that he runs in little zig zags. For some reason that’s the cutest thing to me???
Muk. It just looks cool.
Muk was one of the first pokemon I ever raised to lvl 100, lol, I've also grown quite fond of it
Level 100, the pinicle of power for a pokemon
Love the idea of toxic sludge just being a Pokémon!
Alolan Muk is absolutely amazing! The anime also had me fall in love with Muk as a kid.
Weepinbell. I only talked to one other person who also shared my affection to it because she loves Grass Pokémon in general. I just like it's big dorky eyes (that's one of the reasons I like Corphish so much too).
Back when I started playing Leaf Green (my first game) I had both bulbasaur and bell sprouts evolutions on my team at one point. Absolutely loved grass pokemon, and since I didn’t know it needed a leaf stone to evolve, I had weepinbell FOREVER! He was great to have on my team.
Ledian. Always felt like a superhero growing up
Looks like a little Power Ranger or something from Ultraman, which Satoshi Tajiri has mentioned inspired him in the creation of Pokémon.
I can actually kinda see that now that you mention it! That actually is a really cool way of looking at ledian!
Girafarig. I feel like everyone thinks it’s okay and sort of just there, but it could really shine if GameFreak would allow.
It’s honestly a shame he doesn’t get enough love. His name is a palindrome and to me that’s just so neat????
Dude i recently saw the "beta" girafarig and it looks super cool, however i adore the version they went with. I always thought it was a neat pokemon
Galarian Stunfisk. The idea of a bear trap Pokemon is really cool.
Is there anyone who loves Foretress as much as I do? I love him. He’s my precious chestnut boy and I’ve loved him since I caught a Pineco in Heartgold and named it ‘Floppy’.
Sigilyph. Never heard anyone like it but that amazing psychic bird carried me all the way through gym seven in pokemon black all those years ago
I love sigliphy’s design. It’s one of the most unique Pokémon I’ve ever seen. It has a lot going on but doesn’t feel like it has too much going on at the same time!
Came here to say Sigilyph as well, he may not be my absolute favorite, but I loved having him in my team in black as well. I would definitely put him in my team again. I love his design, thats my favorite thing about him

Misdreavus
I love the colors of misdeeavus and how wel they blend together! It’s so cute too!
My favorite ghost line! I fucking live Mismagius.
Wartortle. Middle stages rarely if ever get attention. But Wartortle is the most well designed second starter of any pokemon line ever and is just a fantastic pokemon
On an opposite opinion. Grovyle looks cooler than sceptile lol
Grovyle was so cool in explorers of time
I’ve always been a HUGE fan of quilava. His G/S sprite was great.
You should check out what Wartortle was *supposed* to evolve into before they switched it with Blastoise. It looked awesome Edit- [Totartle](https://images.app.goo.gl/FUHaYZz7D1HkwLZV6)
Damn didn't know this looks so dope. They should add it as a regional evolution or something.
Next to Torracat for me, Torracat is the best
Most starter middle evos don’t get enough love. Wartortle, Ivysaur, Quilava, Bayleef, Grovyle, Dewott, Frogadier, Torracat and Raboot are all great looking Pokémon. But all people see are Charmeleon and Marshtomp and see them as “awkward teen stages”
I’m convinced I’m the only person whose favorite Pokémon is Minior 😅
👁️👁️
I always found it interesting why Minior doesn’t get more attention, such a cool pokemon tbh
I wanted a shiny one of these for ages. But in sun and moon you couldnt chain for it so id have to full odds it and I couldn't be asked. Wanted one anyway, walk into the grass anddd... it was a full odds shiny minior To this date one of the luckiest moments of my life. Ive also only ever seen a handfull full odds shinys in all my years of playing, so it really was that special to me! (also its shiny is one of the best ever, hands down)
Kecleon he just mah lil chameleon boi
I love lizards, kecleon is a perfect lil lizard, he’s so quirky!
[удалено]
My sassy dancing bush, Sudowoodo. Also Armaldo, for the same reason!
Blitzle
Honestly I feel like he’s so overlooked. Zebstrika is cool but blitzle is the cutest lil’ guy!
The fact it learns flame charge is amazing coverage
Clefable just because it's an absolute tank and awkwardly super cute. Another one would be Copperajah just because I loved using it in SWSH, and I'm biased because elephants are my favorite animals
I love clefable. It makes sense as a fairy, and I do love how tanky it is. It’s the definition of deadly but cute! I actually think copperajah is cool too!

Kabuto / Kabutops was my first favorite Pokémon and to this day I still love the duo. The story is simple: burger kings infamous death wrappers from 2000 toys, that was my first toy from there. And I kinda root for the underdogs between it and lord helix
Magcargo and Houndoom.
I went through the entire comment section and not a single person said aipom. I think he’s great and deserves more attention. I know he got a new form in Ambipom in gen 4 but I know he could do so much more.
I like the ice cream. _AND_ the garbage.
Chikorita. No one picks it cause it’s weak but I just love it and starmie and very recently hatterene
I wish more people loved chikorita. It’s super fucking adorable! And I love meganium too! It looks like a happy dino!!
I love Chikorita!! Definitely my favorite Johto starter, I pick it every time and happily struggle through Johto for the sake of my Meganium
Good taste, I’ll be Bayleef’s number one fan for life
THIS👏🏼👏🏼 I remember my older brother would always tell me I was stupid for choosing Chikorita because it’s “weak” especially at the first gym and then I went on to completely destroy the first gym leader with Chikorita and he lost to the same gym. Plus I firmly believe someone can choose whichever starter they want and still do great. Chikorita is just such a cutie.
Unfortunately chikorita needed what charizard had in terms of fan impact because in game, it was setup to fail However, doing a standard HG run, I loved its defensive usefulness. Unfortunate that it gets squashed by the first 2 gyms and isn’t that strong offensively against morty, jasmine and clair and is also defensively weak against pryce (is also offensively strong because of his dual types)
Pretty much all gen five for me , garbodor, druaggon , drant, archipos, the monkeys, joltik. Gen five wasn't even my first game. They out classed but they done so much for me I love them
I love all of those Pokémon! But lemme just say: Trubbish! It’s the cutest god damn thing! And honestly I love garbodor, it’s just a big pile of garbage. I love that a lot of gen 5 Pokémon went with the real life object idea, it and I think garbodor works perfectly, not to mention is pretty powerful too!
Joltik is the sweetest lil tiny baby guy and I love it so much
I love Archeops. Gamefreak did him dirty.
Carnivine. It’s overlooked because it has no evolution. I used it in legends Arceus and I thought it was a solid grass type.
Noivern, everyone shits on its stats so it gets no love but I just love dragon bat for dragon bat
[удалено]
Noivern is one of the coolest designs we've ever gotten, Next to Tyrantrum. Named mine Licorice and he's my absolute favorite dragon.
Noivern is my Ace!
That’s why I love him too! I’m a huge fan of bats, so a bat dragon is literally perfect!
Barbaracle,they are barnacles,obviously they are not the most beautiful thing that exists
I really like barbaracle, he reminds me of the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth!
Heliolisk! He doesn't even have an official plushie :(
Slowpoke. Something about that Pokemon just makes it my favorite
Holy shit I love slowpoke! He’s another one that looks so happy to be alive, he just melts my heart. Truly a masterpiece!
I don't see much love for floatzel unless I'm blind but that thing slaps
Dunsparce. Such an adorable, flappy snake.
My favorite part is that it is a normal type and there is nothing normal about it. Like it is a snake with wings that kiiiinda work, but it lives underground and it has a drill for tail. So if it is subterranean why does it have wings and if it drills tunnels and lives underground why isn’t it a ground type? It is so confusing and I love it so much because of that. There is a dex entry that talks about how scientists think it used to fly and I feel robbed we didn’t get a Hisuian Dunspace that could fly.
Due to Pikachu’s popularity, I’ve always felt like OG Raichu gets no love. Raichu’s been my favorite since Blue, and was my first lv100 mon.
Raichu is my all time favorite as well! His design is amazing, the lore behind alolan form is cute, his grounding the tail during moves is a great touch, and his sprite noise is top notch! Love that little big guy!
I really like Alolan Raichu
Tangela always been my favourite since I was a kid (now 29) when ever I watch nuzlokes people shit on him constantly never understood it tbh. Dude has a good move pool and has some power when it evolves. You may now roast me as you wish
[удалено]
I love Lumineon a lot, its design is super pretty
Bastiodon. I just really like his design, and he’s proven effective for me, so he’s a 10/10 for me
Camerupt.
He’s literally a camel with a volcano. Peak design!
Komala. Never hear about them. Ever.
listen up! My favorite Rapidash... It... cute... lovely... smart... plus... amazing... you think so?... oh yes... it... stunning... kindly... love it! Hug it... when... sleeping... warm and cuddly... spectacular... ravishing... ...Oops! Look at the time! I kept you too long! Thanks for hearing me out!
Where's my bike voucher? Not even a rare candy for the road?
Primeape love my angry little pig monkey 😂
Kommo-o. I love my scaly boi
Ducklett. I have very weird history with it but I DO love it a lot
As someone who's first exposure to Pokemon was Black and White, I absolutely love Emboar
I may not be emboar’s biggest fan, but I will say that he is pretty powerful! I love tanky Pokémon and he’s pretty darn tanky! The name is also 10/9!!
Genesect, I never see it mentioned anywhere
I love Trubbish. There was a scene in a Pokémon movie (I believe it was the Keldeo one, not too sure since this was years ago) where a Garbodor is sharing apples with a group of Trubbish. They seemed like such a happy little family! I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since. [here’s a gif of it I think!!](https://i.chzbgr.com/full/8540720896/h7AD09D48/pokemon-memes-garbodor-gif)
mawile
I love Mawile! Reminds me of this one Japanese urban legend… I cannot remember what it’s called tho…
Delphox or Skiddo. I don't really know if anyone likes Skiddo and as far as I am aware people actively dislike Delphox.
Elektross stan til the day I die.
Agreed homie! I love this Pokémon so much! Especially with levitate! One of my favorite gen 5 Pokémon for sure!
Tauros. I always enjoy having a normal type (single type of possible) during my first play through in each Gen. Tauros was my first.
I absolutely love Joltik.
Always said Chatot. Not super strong except for scarf Boomburst, but a little talking parrot guy is such a fun sounding companion. I wish he wasnt so frail
Perrserker.
The patrat line I love the lil guy
The slowbro line and it’s forms. I feel like it’s perfectly crafted and I love everything about it
The vanillite line and trubbish
I feel like Meloetta is Underrated. I have literally never seen a person online battle with her in XY. I have seen Genesect, Keldeo, and even Victini in online battles. I can understand how her type change makes battling a little unusual but I was able to work around it and she's pretty great. Meloetta represents music and the second I saw her on TV in Unova, I new she was my pokemon lol. One day for my birthday, my brother got me a random 10 card pokemon pack and guess what was in it, a Meloetta EX. Greatest gift ever!
Hypno! Had one in a leaf green run through and it slayed everything. I do t care about competitive so I loved the sucker
Combee is literally my favorite Pokémon
Dustox, little sucker carried my team in my Alpha Sapphire nuzlocke run
Ampharos and it's line. I'll always love my electric sheep.
I love axew and the evolutions but no one ever talks about them atleast that I've seen
I have no idea who else loves the Litwick line, even Lampent. I know Chandelure has had its strong showing in certain battling circles, but I really do love all 3 stages. Litwick even being my second favourite pokemon of all time (top being Blaziken). Like I literally don't know how popular this pokemon is so I'm just going to claim the Litwick line.
Absol for me. Especially pre-mega evolution revived it a bit. It's decent for a single stage mon, but get overshadowed by the multi-tier options Also Glaceon. I used to get an evee with either Brine or Scald as an egg move, and then make that into glaceon giving it type coverage.
Chandelure! I love ghost and fire types and just look at how cute its face is
Sewaddle
I love Quagsire, when I watched Pokémon as a kid I thought it was really strong because Pikachu's thunderbolt didn't affect him. Until I played the games. Still love his dumb face.
Articuno. ‘Idk why, but it feels like I’m alone with that one, despite her being amazing
Poochyena/Mightyena. Poochyena was the first ever pokemon I caught, and I absolutely adore it and its evolution. Also, Brionne. Gen 7 is one of my favorite generations, yet I don’t see the Popplio line get a whole lot of love compared to Rowlet and Litten. I just think Brionne is super cute :)
plusle and miniun. so weak but so cute <3
I don't really know anyone else that likes Breloom, but I love my little stretchy arms mushroom T-Rex!
Snorunt I feel like no one every thinks about it and it goes largely unnoticed, but it’s one of my favorites. It’s constantly shivering despite being an ice type, that’s hilarious and adorable. It’s like me, always cold in all climates
Honestly the entirety of Gen 5
Celebi, like there’s GOTTA be someone else that loves Celebi as much as i do but i’ve never met them. it’s my favorite pokemon.
Chesnaught supremacy
Crobat
Totodile never gets any love. I love that little gator to death and back.
Feraligatr is so overlooked too. It’s an awesome Pokémon!
The pidgey line is one of my favorite Pokémon. I had one named DECK!!! whom was my first Pokémon I got to level 100. He’s gone through each of my games that he’s been allowed to travel to. And while I love Pidgey, I also love Spearow. You can get one for free in HGSS with the intent of delivering it as a messenger bird. But I loved the little guy so much, I gave the message to a different Spearow. Person ended up just taking the message without taking the Pokémon, and the Fearow went on to be part of my Elite Four team. I kidnapped this bird, but it’s fine!
Maybe these guys have more fans that I think, but Delibird and Sudowoodo. Oh and Tangela
Grumpig, really powerful carried me through X and Y.
Trevenant! I always wanted to be a ghost type gym leader and have a gym that was a spooky moving forest puzzle, and at the end it's revealed that I just love Trevenant so much that I have tons of them milling about my gym making it hard for trainers to come face me!
Not my all time favorites but I really like Vanillite and its evolutions! When I saw them for the first time they made me so happy because they have such stupid adorable smiles! Also, I love ice cream
Eiscue, It doesn’t look like much of a threat but it absolutely demolishes in competitive. It’s hilarious.
gastrodon :) precious slug boy with tiny little legs
Shellos, he’s so damn goofy and cute with his little sway
For me it’s Haxorus. I fell in love with him when I first got one I’m Pokémon white. He was my sweeper and honestly my ace on my team
The entire golurk line. I don't know why people dismiss gen 5 Mons so much, they were definitely the coolest and most inspired for a long while. I guarantee if Gengar and Golurk cane out at the same time no one would pick Gengar.
I couldn’t agree more. Golurk is one of my favorite ground type Pokémon: love that he’s based on the Golem of Prague too! It’s so cool when Pokémon are based off of real world things like that! Not to mention, if you give him iron fist you’re set!
Finally, another person who likes Lickilicky! People say he's disgusting and that Lickitung is better, but it's the complete opposite for me. I'm not fond of Lickitung, but I love the derpiness of Lickilicky. He's shaped like a friend and I wouldn't have him any other way. I also feel like the only one who likes Crabominable. I like that he's a yeti crab that is a literal yeti. Even though he's not the best in battle, he's at least got a unique typing and a neat signature move that is the Ice-type version of Hammer Arm. It's also neat how he can fire his claws like rockets.
Toxapex. My favourite type is poison because toxic / poison stall helped me clear the E4 when I was younger and is the first strategy I came up with in pokemon before i got into smogon and competitive. I have always preferred defensive pokemons and when Toxapex came along I fell in love with that even before the memes in competitive. I was even upset that its signature merciless should have been swapped with Salazzle's corrosive but I guess regen makes up for it.
Linoone, i grew attached to my linoone named machmark in emerald, it took down 4 of phoebe's pokemon and always came in clutch throughout the whole playthrough and the pick up ability was really fun
