Personally, mine is joint first between Sandshrew (the cutest), Espurr (most relatable), and Gastrodon.
After those, in no particular order, I like Turtwig (best starter, fight me), the Roggenrola line (little rock guys), the Litwick line (candles and lamps with nefarious intentions), and Metagross (cool robot thing).
Kyogre is the best legendary in my opinion
Scizor! It’s annoying have a trade mon as your favorite. A lot of the games don’t give you a metal coat until late game too. What can you do
Scizor is a really interesting pokemon, and a much needed evolution to Scyther (I think they have similar stats but the better typing with Bug/Steel makes it more viable)
Steelix is also another awesome trade mon, it’s pretty much just a better version of Onix in every way. In later gens it also has a really cool mega!
Dragonite – I love his derpy little wings.
Dragonite is indeed very cute
I was talking to someone a month ago about this. I told them as a kid my favorite pokemon was charizard and as I got older it switched to dragonite. They said to me “so you really have a type huh?” I didn’t understand until I thought about it and realized charizard and dragonite share a lot of similarities. The former being edgier and the latter being cuter.
So apparently I really like large, orange dragons.
Snorlax is my spirit animal
My favorite starter is Totodile. My favorite Eeveelution is Vaporeon (Espeon is a close second).
But overall, my favorite is Snorlax.
Gyarados normal, Suicune legendary, Bulbysaur starter
You went straight from Blue to Crystal, didn’t you?
Suicune is the best dog legendary
Best legendary, but I’ll hear arguments
Always been an Arbok fan. Sure, Gen 1 he dies to Psychic really easy, but especially as we get into Gen 3/4 and you get stuff like Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang TMs as well as decent Dark moves to teach it, it becomes a nasty piece of work with some support. Plus, it gets Intimidate and I love Intimidate as an ability.
Gen 1, everything dies to Psychic.
Not Dragonite, but dragon type was even more broken than Psychic
Until you meet Lorelei.
Poliwhirl
Psyduck and Gengar
Good picks! After Sandshrew, Psyduck is definitely one of my favourites Kanto mons. Gengar is also high up there!
Anyone who didn’t say Totodile is deserving of a chomp on the ass from a Totodile.
Butterfree, because I once beat a friend’s Mewtwo with it on Soul Silver.
Pikachu, because it’s so cute.
Bug types being super effective on Psychic types is always so funny to me.
I have big brain and move big things with mind, but a bug bite, it scares me.
Yeah, but the important detail in this case, was Butterfree’s base stats vs. Mewtwo’s and the fact that I hit it with a successful sleep powder and it was fast asleep for so long, that I managed to kill it with dream eater. 👻
I believe the reasoning for the weaknesses of Psychic type are based on different phobias (scared of the dark, bugs, and ghosts). Also, it makes bug types just that little bit stronger which is nice!
Gardevoir It was my first shiney and carried me through Pearl. Plus I like the idea of powerful psychics and loyalty to your friends.
Swampert! For a non-starter, probably Tropius or Stonjourner.
Vaporeon
Listen, friend, I was an adult before Pokémon was even a thing. Your Pokeymans are irrelevant to me, child. Irrelevant.
So why do I recognise most of gen 1 and a handful of others besides?!
TL;DR: Psyduck
Metagross. He’s hits like a genius freight train.
also one of my faves, but wish I could sit on him:
