Bulbasaur. Years ago, I mentioned he looked like a garlic bulb so my kid gave me her plastic toy Bulbasaur and now he sits on the windowsill as the patron saint of my kitchen.

Snorlax. He's just so relatable.

Bulbasaur. Sweet little onion baby is number one in the dex and number one in our hearts.

(Serious now: I love Tropius. You'll probably remember him as the banana dinosaur HM slave. Fucking awesome design.)

Haunter, I always liked the floating hands and big smile!

As a child I trained a Kadabra to level 100 because another kid told me this is when it evolved.

Nope! We did eventually trade back and forth - but those 2 minutes of my newly evolved level 100 Alakazam on my friend's cartridge demanded an insane level of trust between two 10 year olds. That shit was intense!

Laughed so much at this, thanks

I'm a simple guy, Charizard.

Man I've got a lot. Pokémon's got some good character designs, but my top two have to be Victini and Gengar.

[–] tvmole@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Always wanted a pet Wingull since I played Emerald. I need to evolve it if it's actually going to fight though

[–] operator@kbin.cafe 3 points 1 year ago

sandshrew forever, with a long trail of mostly ground and ghost runner ups

I always thought golem was super cool, but it wasn't advantageous against the elite four.

[–] Casuallynoted@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

Militank! :D

I honestly can't choose. I love too many of them. Some of my favorites are clefable, pikachu, vaporeon, palafin, armarouge, absol, meowscarada/sprigatito, grovyle, corviknight, ampharos, wooloo... just too many!

[–] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Psyduck! C'mon, he's a duck with a headache.

Charizard FTW! 😊

[–] dillydogg@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Big fan of Togekiss. I know it's not exactly great, but I had a good run in my local meta running a serene grace Togekiss special sweep. Good times

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It's not strong at all since it's a pretty early route mon, but definitely the buizel line. Grafaiai just barely first place for me, but I absolutely love that as well.

[–] UnperfectOne@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Rayquaza. It looks cool, it's powerful and it has a cool role. What's not to love? Plus, it's one of the few Pokémon with a good looking shiny.

[–] ram@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Misdreavus!

[–] colonial@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Totodile. Elementary school me picked him at random when I played HeartGold (still hadn't wrapped my head around the whole touchscreen thing IIRC) and I loved the little guy.

[–] octopuscrew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mimikyu is adorable!

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ho-oh. I don't know why but it's been my favorite ever since I first saw it

[–] ergifruit@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Munchlax, Drifblim, and Beedrill. and i, much like every disaffected child in the 2000's, wanted Entei to be my dad.

[–] merfolk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Umbreon! I have a tattoo on my forearm, but I got it as a poor and dumb college kid, so I'm getting it reworked in September by an artist that will do it justice!

[–] muntelaar@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Snorlax is my spirit Pokémon

[–] Dougtron007@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

My favorite Pokémon has been poliwag ever since I played Pokémon blue for the first time. He so adorable and becomes a very powerful Pokémon. I remember catching him early on in Crystal version and making him my starter Pokémon.

Houndoom! With Bulbasaur as closed 2nd.

[–] blake24964@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bidoof is the best, sweet little guys. Who only gey dunked on nearly as bad as Magikarp.

[–] Eczpurt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think Clobbopus is pretty great!
