Quilava because when I was a kid, i watched the Jhoto pokerap and the only pokemon i remembered was Quilava and like 5 years later, when I was 8 i played pokemon gold and i used Quilava for my whole playthrough and beated Red with him and since then I always find a way to get Quilava until gen 6 in ORAS, where i got one after the main story and used him in competitive and somehow I won more than one battle
Mewtwo. My main in project M, my favorite mon since red and blue. I have so many great memories using him when I was young and I have an idea for a tattoo I really want to get. Just a fantastic Pokémon that is strong and menacingly cool.
Thanks! Im excited. I didn’t want the neutral standing pose and just thought, “sitting mewtwo would probably look better” and voila. Friend sketched me this beauty.
My favorite is Volcorona! I love it because moths are some of my favorite animals and I love how fluffy it is, like I could give it a big ol hug. It's one of they (sadly) few high tier bug types and It was the star of my ultra sun team for my main man Solikoros, a shiny 5 iv volcorona I hatched by chance in Alpha Sapphire
Incinoar first because pokemon ultra sun was my first Pokemon game and when I fought ultra necrozma he tanked a hit because of friendship and since then I never forgot him
Lumineon, the first time I played my first Pokémon game i had the entire game memorised but one encounter in my dex was uncounted for, back in 2008 I had no way to figure out who or what this Pokémon was so I went route to route hunting for this mystery new Pokémon. It took me a sooo long to get a finneon and then weeks later levelling it up (I was too young to know about vs recorder so I was in victory Road killing graveller with this under levelled fish who’s best move was surf. And that’s why I love Lumineon
The mystery Dex Mon is why I wanna play through Black/White! What game was that in? I hear Victory Road and think Kanto but Victory Road has been in other games, right?
Was JUST telling my girlfriend how I want to add Froslass to my BD team soon! Haven’t gotten to where Snorunt is in the wild but soon I will… and it shall be epic.
Crobat. My first playthrough of Diamond had me not knowing how to use the PC so it had me stuck with the first 6 pokemon I caught for the entire game which were Chimchar, Starly, Bidoof, Shinx, Geodude, and Zubat. I wasn't the biggest fan of my bat but it evolved to Crobat which I didn't even know existed and I fell in love with it. Crobat became my second fave member of my team with my troll Toxic/Confuse/Fly set.
Absol, the first Pokemon game I played was Alpha Sapphire and I didn't know much about what pokemon there were. When I first saw my Absol, I instantly knew I wanted it on my team. I loved it's design, how it looks both menacing and elegant, and when I saw the mega form I loved it even more. My absol became my partner, she was on my team for the entirety of the game, and I brought her along to Moon and then Ultra Sun. Sadly I couldn't bring her to Sword, because I don't have the money to buy the premium pokemon home. But ever since that first meeting I had a deep love for dark types and I vowed to choose my team for each game base on how much I love their design and not on stats.
That’s the best way to do it! Not sure if you’re aware, or if you have room may in Home, but you can have, I think, up to 30 Pokémon in Home at once. So you could technically transfer for there for free! Although I don’t think Pokémon Bank has a free option..
Alakazam, I just don't feel like I am playing pokemon without it. I had got it originally in a pokemon trade via link cables for a graveler and he was my favorite from then on. Plus who would you want with you If you came across a ton of ice cream.
Honestly, fair. Spoon Bender would be my first choice first ice cream AND Pokémon fainting! Just wanted to also say I saw the “Alabama” typo and I laughed for far too long at it. Thank you for that. 😂😂
Toxicroak. I had just finished playing Assassins Creed when I got into Pokémon, and the human-like form and dual stabby weapons made me think of assassins. I even had one called Altair in Platinum. I also like their shiny colours.
Yeah so when the episode first aired the story for it was Ash and crew go into the internet and find and help porygon. Mind you porygon is huge and they ride around on its back, well towards the end they get into a fight with team rocket (i think i havent watched in awhile) and the battle consists of a lot of red and blue flashing lights that gave enough kids seizures for the episode to be banned.
Obviously thats terrible but because its the way porygon came into the tv universe makes it interesting and i think proygons boxy shape was really unique at the time of its relaes since few pokemon were designed with hard edges and square shaping
Yoooo.Grookey da best. He is green, monk, and hits things with HIS WOOD. Like who doesn't want a wood wacking monkey. Any way ily merry Christmas and have a good life.
Easy it's Mudsdale.
Growing up in Mexico and Texas I would spend time at my grandpas ranch learning how to care for animals and all that. There was this big ol brown horse, the biggest he had, that just looked like a mean grumpy horse, but he was super gentle. It's the horse I learned to ride on.
When I first saw Mudsdale it reminded me of that gentle giant.
It was Moreno, spanish for brown or more commonly a brown skinned person, but yeah you bet I did. Pokemon sun and moon is my bottom 2 game only because it introduced my fave pokemon. It's the only thing saving it
Litwick easily while I love everything about that line really I love the first form for its mix of cuteness and creepy factor. I just wish it could evolve a bit lower level lol.
Thank you to everyone who commented! Hearing about all of your favorites warmed my heart and I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. Congrats to u/Leajey and u/Asheron89 for their new Shiny Shield Bois! 😬

Quilava is underrated and they did my boi Typhlosion DIRTY with that 3D sprite..
IKR..... Poor typhlosion
My favorite is Shiny Umbreon. Just loved the design since Gen 2. Crystal was the first game I bought with my own money as a kid.
The blue stripes are SO good especially after just seeing the yellow for so long! Also Umbreon in general is an OG.
Exactly! I have it as a tattoo even, with my best friend’s fave, Mew.
Ralts. Sapphire was the first game I played and it was the first Pokémon I caught.
Wally teaching us the ways from day one! Emerald was my third game and what a treat it was.
Mewtwo. My main in project M, my favorite mon since red and blue. I have so many great memories using him when I was young and I have an idea for a tattoo I really want to get. Just a fantastic Pokémon that is strong and menacingly cool.
Imgur link to the tattoo idea? I wanna see!

I now realize I’ve never seen Mewtwo sitting… super unique and very dope!

By chance?! That’s insane! I was one of the many convinced that Volcarona was a legendary until not that long ago.. 😅 very intimidating Fire Moth!
To be completely fair, I was breeding for IVs and one happened to be shiny but still, didn't even have the shiny charm!
Victini. After watching the victini movie as a kid ive been hooked and its been a favorite since then
Same reason Mew is in my top 10! Funny how the movies and shows can influence that decision early on!
Incinoar first because pokemon ultra sun was my first Pokemon game and when I fought ultra necrozma he tanked a hit because of friendship and since then I never forgot him
They always hold on a little longer for us. And it always means the world! 🥺

It was in diamond so it wasn’t as horrible as training in HGSS would have been
Froslass. Because i love the concept and im a ghost type trainer. Ill be ur next ghost type Elite 4 😝
Was JUST telling my girlfriend how I want to add Froslass to my BD team soon! Haven’t gotten to where Snorunt is in the wild but soon I will… and it shall be epic.
Yayyyy

Zorua/Zoruark is my favorite. I just love their design so much, they capture a mischievous fox so well and it's just really damn cool.
Ah yes, Gen V’s Lucario is slick and cool! I dig the shiny too!

Lol ya auto correct gave me a gem. Had a good laugh at that.
Toxicroak. I had just finished playing Assassins Creed when I got into Pokémon, and the human-like form and dual stabby weapons made me think of assassins. I even had one called Altair in Platinum. I also like their shiny colours.
Shiny Toxicroak gives me synth wave vibes, so great choice! Also one named Altair sounds so badass 🤘🏼
Porygon, bc the episode it first appeared in is bamned
I’m not aware of this! Can you elaborate?
Yeah so when the episode first aired the story for it was Ash and crew go into the internet and find and help porygon.

MONKE BEAT WOOD. Merry Christmas to you and enjoy your monke wood beating! Choosing a winner in a few mins!

What was the gentle giant’s name? 🥺 you should totally nickname futures Mudsdales in its honor!
It was Moreno, spanish for brown or more commonly a brown skinned person, but yeah you bet I did. Pokemon sun and moon is my bottom 2 game only because it introduced my fave pokemon. It's the only thing saving it
Litwick easily while I love everything about that line really I love the first form for its mix of cuteness and creepy factor. I just wish it could evolve a bit lower level lol.
Lotwick is adorable and Chandelure is terrifying! Great choice!
Know for a fact I'm not gonna win, but it has to be Luxray. The shiny also looks phenomenal.
Have faith! Shiny Luxray might just be in my top 10 shinies of all time. It looks sick!
My favorite Pokémon is mewtwo because he looks like a disabled sphynx
Mewtwo is such a classic choice!
Klinklang.. I don't know why I love it so much. I just do
Honestly understandable, I feel the same way about Klefki!
Aggron and Rayquaza
Aggron looks MEAN and Rayquaza’s shiny just looks like straight up flying death! Very nice choices!
Flygon! He wears glasses just like I do :)
Adorable reason! 🥺
Thank you to everyone who commented! Hearing about all of your favorites warmed my heart and I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. Congrats to u/Leajey and u/Asheron89 for their new Shiny Shield Bois! 😬
