Favourite type?

[artmage]

Fire, for the sheer no-holes barred beatdown power they possess, Water for their generally high defenses plus decent elemental attacks plus the ability to learn ice moves to take down dragons, and Dark, which negates both those pesky Psychic and Ghost types.
Voted for Dark.

I'm a big flying-type fan, and always have been. They have a lot of variety and I love most of their designs, the bird-based ones in particular. I also have a soft spot for dark and fire types.

hmm. I like Ghost types, well ... they are just so funny - they are always (well almost always) playing pranks on others, having fun, or helping out others!
Of course, I only saw them in the original anime series, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar ... each time they appeared in the 1st season, they were pranking. (or that Gastly that kept haunting humans, only turned out to be helping the ghost of the girl that was still waiting for her love to return... or something like that in my memory)

I'd do a lot to get a Gastly. In Gold, I have a Gastly, a Haunter, and 2 Gengar, a male and a female of course. All +lvl 40/lvl 50. I need to check, it's been ages since I last saw them. I still remember some of theire names ... Mindanna (female Gengar, she always had a flower behind her ear) Günter the Haunter, Nightscreen the Misdreavus ... Mindanna was my sweetheart!
In Emerald, I also had Silly the Sableye, a Banette, Duskull and Dusclops!
(tough I like most of the ghost types, I never got further then Emerald ...)
I also have a big thing for dragons tough ... but Ghost still rank first. In Gold (yes gold again) I had 2 dragonites, and 1 dragonair. Dragon, and Draco if I'm not mistaken. In emerald, I had such a killer Flygon <3 Viva! she killed off so many trainers!

I also love Psychics, some of them are just to cute ... Just like some Normals! I still love Rattata ... with an everstone. He's just so cute with red eyes and purple-white fur! (I have a thing for mice and rats) and Clefairy and Jiggilypuff... what can I say? I always avoid wearing pink but I can't resist their cute pink appearance. (and the attacks ... sing, metronome ..) and Meowth, Audino, Chansey, Togekiss, Alakazam ... Lover, my lvl 90 hand trained Alakazam! Grumpig, Natu, Swoobat (for some reason, I love the cuteness on him!), Ralts, Chingling, Musharna (Yea Don't know why I keep falling for the ones that are pink and look like pigs)Metagross and I'm ganna shut up now.

I've recently come to appreciated flying types a lot more ... as well as poison types. I think Joey's affecting me. + a lot of them are purple, witch is my favorite color.

And water types ...
I love the combo's of water types .... and I like swimming. What else to say about them?

Wow look at all the text I typed! I was ranting for sure.

Wow, my opinions have changed so much since I replied to this. O.O Flying-Types have been my favourite since HGSS. Time to retract my vote. >;3

I was not going to reply to this since it was old and did not want to get in trouble for reviving an old thread but since two others have replied I thought I might as well reply as well. I honestly like all types but since it would be like 17 or so paragraphs long I am only going to mention my top five.

Dragons have always been my favorite type. I swear as soon as I saw Salamence I jumped for joy especially with it's 400+ maximum attack stat. I thought that was great until Haxourus and saw it had like 434 and was like my goodness that is awesome. Even though defensively they are lacking I have loved the Dragon type for their power and pretty diverse move sets with some able to learn attacks that do damage from 10+ types.

My next favorite type would be the Steel Type. My Aggron has such a high defensive score that only fighting and ground type moves do a lot of damage as long as he is hit with physical moves. Special moves are very good against him. I also love my Magnezone and all of it's resistances with Ground Types being the only real threat to it. Plus for a Steel type it has a lot of speed and special attack which helps a lot as well.

Third place for me is Dark. I caught a Modest Nature 31 attack/spattack IV'd Zoroark which is pretty powerful. I have always loved how sneaky some of them are such as Sneasel which has incredible speed or Sableeye which without the effect of an item or move has no weakness albeit low stats. I love using Dark Pulse due to the Flinch effect it can have and it's high base power for a move that can cause that.

4th favorite would be the Water type. Water types can learn some pretty cool moves and typically have pretty good Sp. Attack which makes them great at using long range moves such as Hydro Pump. Not only that but quite a few of them have interesting types such as Water Electric and Water Dark. My favorite Water types include Swampert due to it's high attack stat, and Samurott for having such a cool look and being such a great mixed attacker.

My fifth favorite type would be Psychic. One reason is their high special attack as well as causing items to float using only their minds. I love when ash fight's Sabrina and she turns him into a doll sized human and wants him to play with her younger self. Another thing I love about Psychic types is that they are great against fighting types as well as Poison Types and usually have pretty high speed. Alakazam was always pretty cool to me with how high it's special attack was. I also liked Galade since it had high attack instead of special attack which was a pretty cool thing to see a physicial Psychic Type for once. On top of that there was also Mewtwo who in the 1st Gen was absolutely amazing and few pokemon stood a chance against it but now Darkrai and a few other pokemon have stolen his Thunder but he is still really cool none the less.

Well those are my 5 favorite types. I may eventually update with the rest but for now I think the top 5 is pretty good.
