Favourite Pokemon in this gen

[Morrigan]

Well, seeing as quite a few people had a list of what Pokemon they hated, I thought it'd be pretty interesting to see what ones you guys thought were a nice addition in the newest generation. There are quite a few nice design I personally love, but hey, I'm sure there is atleast one person here who will disagree. Maybe.


These little buggers shouldnt be anywhere near the Worst pokemon list, cause they are both amazing. I pretty much kicked my Emboar out of my group for this thing, because it is insanely strong and has like, the best grin ever. But yeah, I'll drop the whole Darmantian thing cause I go on about it too much /shouldbeavaliableheredaaammmiiiiitttt

Just a few others what spring to mind are,




...Yeah, ok, I'll stop there just because there are a few more I actually quite like. xP These and their evolution lines are pretty much the ones what stick out mainly for me. I'm pretty sure if I were to fire up my game I would have atleast one in my party lol.

Ah good point! I'm surprised I didn't think of this topic when I was doing a blitzkrieg of all the topics. Either way... Favourite Pokemon this generation... That's a really hard one. I actually had to pull up a list and I must say it's going to be long putting them all together but my absolute favourites that stand out just from scrolling down the screen are as following:


Out of all the starters, these two have probably grown on me the most as their design has something appealing about them. Bit of an odd two these pair. I can't quite put my finger on WHY I like them, I just do.


Badass design, this guy is just goin' to bring the THUNDAAAA! A Zebra Pokemon has been a long time coming too. Just seems like something that could've appeared earlier.


When I got my mitts on these two... Hot damn, I don't think anything in the game could stand up to them. Really nice design too and I can honestly say these are probably my overall favourite.


This was one I originally didn't quite like but upon using it ingame I had my entire perspective changed. What a beast. ;D


Goofy as all hell but an interesting stat placement and the fact its a hoodlum just adds to my opinion of it.



The name might suck but a ghostly Egyptian coffin. What is not to like?! I named mine King Tut. ;D


Perhaps the most adorable depiction ever of a rubbish sack.


Yeah, yeah, yeah. So people are all "FURBAIT" but I genuinely do like Zoroark. The ability it has is really good for mindgames.


This blobby little guy just works.


Out of all the design leaks I think this guy enticed me the most. He's just this huge golem type being and upon getting him I had to name him ExDeath.

So yes, long list but those are pretty much my standout loves for this generation. Whether it be due to their design or how fun they are to use in battles.

and



FAVVVVVVVOURITES. More later because I need ta scoot, lawl.

[The REAL Joey]

Hmmm, I know I probably asked before but why do you like Kyurem so much? I'm impressed with the typing and its stats but the thing really does look like one of those rubber chicken toys and for it being a legendary it just seems a bit fragile looking. Although being able to produce ultra cold air and freezing your own body doesn't help image wise but eh well. I can understand with Scolipede though. ;D I wish I had give him more of a whirl.

[latani]

I have no idea why I like Kyurem really, besides typing. He struck me as ugly at first, just like Giratina did, and then he grew on me. He makes for fun doodling, and I'm insanely curious about his backstory and his relation to an item called the God Stone (I think that's its name) that was discovered in the coding. Meh, I just like rooting for the ones people don't like. xD

Ugh I could go on FOREVER about how awesometastic Scolipede is. Jinx just... totally turned the tables for me. I was neutral about the line until I used one.


- How can ANYONE hate this guy? I think he looks boss and my experience with him made him a goddamn legend in my books. He's also fun to doodle.


- LOL the design of this one still kinda makes me go 'ugh' but using one was an amusing experience.


- Just yes forever.


- EVERYTHING JOEY SAID


- I know it's girly but my Mocha is quite the pain-dealer with Technician and Silk Scarf boosting her moves (<


- Fang dragon struck me as ugly at first too, but when I realized it was a Dragon type I became curious about it and raised on in White... and yup, friday I'm in loveeeee ~

[The REAL Joey]

Yup, I certainly have no real disagreements with your Pokemon tastes. Fair do's to your opinion of Kyurem. Nice to see some people rooting for the underdog... Or dragon in this case. I think they're all generally well rounded too. The one dislike that I do have is aimed at Krookodile. He's a beast and he's got a nice design going on (A Burglar Crocodile? YES!) but the whole colour swap is a bit random. The red works but i'm not sure if the colour skin he had beforehand would work just as well if not better, it's something I keep meaning to test out in Photoshop by palette swapping. Plus... I know this is rude minded but ever since my friend point out his nose looks a bit phallic shaped I can't not see it.

[Sarai Smythe]

I can't really say -favorites- exactly, but I can throw around ones I like....

Lillipup/Herdier/Stoutland is very much a chain I like, not so much Stoutland's design but I can really get behind its stats and Sand Rush ability. I'm very happy to see a pure-normal with some good backing and quality in it.

I'm a big fan of the happy little mole Drillbur, though I think Excadrill's hat turned it up to eleventy seventeen and just made the whole thing look fairly crummy.

Throh and Sawk are so goofy looking that I can't resist liking them, even if I'm not a fan of pure-fighting types.

I quite like Sewaddle/Swadloon/Leavanny, I'm very happy to see a mantis again (especially one that's half leaf insect), and such a cute one at that!

I'm not much of a fan of Venipede, but Whirlipede and Scolipede in all their squishy giant bugness are very cool and rather pretty designs in my eye, despite the rather garish color scheme.

I didn't care for Sandile and Krookodile at first, but I now love the whole chain, especially Big Red at the end there. Sunglasses crocodile!

I was an instant fan of Dwebble/Crustle just for the similarities to Paras/ect. Then my Crustle got Rock Wrecker and I was so happy with it I squee'd.

I love -both- fossil pokemon, the designs of Carracosta and Archeops both appeal to me- Carracosta is just too neat a rockturtle to dislike and I've been waiting for an archeopteryx pokemon forever.

I'm a big fan of the water flea slash cell appearance of Solosis/Duosion/Reuniclus and am a little sad that I have to trade for them... but free access to the gothic pokemon is too much to pass up (though I'll admit I keep getting startled every time I rerealize that Gothita/Gothorita/Gothitelle is a pure psychic type).

Male Jellicent's mutton chops just charm me to death, I've always been a fan of friendly mutton chops. Something about the cross between fluffy and distinguished....

Joltik/Galvantula was the reason I got really interested in B/W to begin with- not only was it a tarantula, but it was a genuine electric bug. You couldn't make me skip that if you... I'unno, did something extreme to it. I love tarantulas, I think they're unbearably cute spiders.

Litwick/Lampent/Chandelure.... how long have we been waiting to see a ghost with a typing that wasn't pure, ghost/poison, or ghost/dark? Too long, says I. I just love the lighting theme here. Speaking of ghosts...

Golett/Golurk is incredible to see. It's a giant robot! It's a ghost! It's a big fat vase! It's a golem! What isn't there to like? The big saddish eyes just make it all the more pleasing to see, and it keeps reminding me of both Concrete and Dr. Eggman's robots. So cool~

Rufflet, Braviary, Vullaby, and Mandibuzz all fulfill to some degree my need for more interesting flying pokemon, though I'm a bit annoyed that Braviary is still boring old Flying/Normal. I'm -very- happy to see that Mandibuzz is a bit of a tank statwise.

Deino/Zweilous/Hydreigon is something I've been waiting for since I heard about pokemon to begin with- a multiheaded mon. What's more, it's a hydra! The typing is a little bit of a letdown (I was really rooting for a Fire/Water pokemon when I first thought of hydras), but Dark/Dragon is plenty interesting. That evolution level is aggravating, though.

Larvesta/Volcarona is amazing to see, bugs have clearly gotten a long way with a pseudo-legendary like that popping up, especially with such an interesting type combo.

Meloetta is -very- pretty in both forms and I like the concept a lot- a singing/dancing pokemon, especially with the visual music references is great to have around.

Lots of people hate Genesect, but as a big fan of Mechwarrior/Battletech (pre-Dark Ages, anyways...) I can't help but love its Marauder-like design complete with back cannon. Or is that a Zentraedi reference instead? Ah, well, whichever. It's a robobug and I loves it. ^_^
