About Me: Favorite Pokemon

Pokemon is a series very near and dear to my heart. From my early experiences watching the anime and playing the card game to staying up all night in the hospital playing Pokemon Crystal to getting my first-ever game of my own (Sapphire) and picking my first starter (Torchic), I just have an endless stream of positive memories of this franchise.

Of course, most of the positive memories wouldn’t be half as good without all the Pokémon I befriended along the way. There’s over a thousand of these creatures now and while I don’t think any Pokémon is bad, I’ve obviously come to like some more than other. That’s what this list is for.

Unfortunately, due to the image limit on posts I had to cut this list down from 50 to 30 so that there wouldn’t be twenty boring blank spaces like I had to do with my video game list. A lack of pictures there is whatever, but when I can’t showcase the designs of the critters I’m talking about, there’s a big issue. This means there’s a lot of honorable mentions: Klefki, Jynx, Slither Wing, Lapras, Garbodor, Lunala, every single Eeveelution, Armaldo, Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd, Ditto, Pheromosa, Buzzwole, Mew, Xurkitree, Lucario, Gimmighoul, Zoroark, Claydol, Walking Wake, Rotom, Porygon2, Chien-Pao, Iron Thorns, Sceptile, Gallade, Togekiss, Spiritomb, Grimmsnarl, Mimikyu, Scrafty, Sigilyph, Zacian, Florges, Eternal Flower Floette, Lilligant, Bisharp, Kingambit, Wishiwashi, Tatsugiri, Bronzong, Rayquaza, Dracovish, Hydreigon, Blacephalon, and Dracozolt. Yeah, there's a thousand of these, so narrowing down my favorites is no easy task.

30. Unown

Unown is probably one of the most worthless Pokemon when it comes to battling seeing as they only know Hidden Power and have pitiful stats (partly because their attacking stats are still spread as if the physical/special split never happened), but I lfind their overall suckiness kind of endearing. I like the weird concept behind them being living hieroglyphs, and the mysteries surrounding them really make me wish they were utilized more in the stories of the games. I'm not asking for them to be as badass as they were in the Entei movie, but come on, throw these guys a bone!

29. Qwilfish

One of the absurdly rare joke Pokemon of Gen II, Qwilfish wasn't one I thought of very often... that is until I got one over the GTS back in the DS days. She was a shiny, her name was Butt Bomb, and her OT was Bakura. Ever since I got her, I have always loved this stupid mine/blowfish hybrid, and I was absolutely elated to find out it got a badass evolution in Overqwil when Pokemon Legends Arceus came out.

28. Sneasler

Speaking of Arceus, I have to say that Sneasler is my favorite Hisuian evolution. I've always loved Sneasel, especially since one in LeafGreen ended up becoming one of my first ever level 100 Pokemon in that game. I kind of didn't like that it lost so much Sneasel-ness upon evolving into Weavile, but Sneasler certainly fixes that problem. It's all right there in the name, where the original is Sneasel, this one is even Sneasler. More Sneasel, less problems.

27. Meowstic

These weird little Psychic cats are just a lot of fun, and I honestly like them more than their more iconic pre-evolutions. Gen VI gets a lot of flak, especially considering how few Pokemon it introduced, but considering it brought this sexually dimorphic extrasensory feline into existence I'm fine with it. Quality over quantity.

26. Kecleon

It has one of the most clunky gimmicks out there, but I'm still fond of this little chameleon. It's such a fun Pokemon to track down be it in Gen III, their remakes, or even Go, and it is one of the single most terrifying foes you can battle in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I even love its stupid shiny that only changes its stripe.

25. Dudunsparce

After years of fans begging for Dunsparce to finally receive an evolution, one that would be some badass dragon that completely misses the point of Dunsparce's whole joke, Gen IX delivered with... a Dunsparce that has an extra segment in its body. It is genuinely one of the greatest trolls in existence, and the fact there's a special form that's even longer really goes to show that Dunsparce was always perfect and the only thing they could even imagine doing as improvement is giving us more Dunsparce.

24. Alcremie

I love Pokémon with bafflingly cryptic evolution methods, and while Runerigus probably takes the cake in terms of Gen VIII Pokemon, Alcremie quits literally is the cake. The fact you have to decorate it’s pre-evolution, then spin around in a circle with the direction, number of spins, and even time of day affecting the ultimate outcome of what color Alcremie you’ll get. No matter what, the end result is the cutest food-themed Pokémon yet.

23. Shedinja

Finding this Pokémon on my own as a kid was such a fun surprise. The Nincada I’d lovingly raised evolved, but I got not just one evolution but some weird shedded husk? Fucking awesome. Ghost types really have some of the most inventive designs in the whole series, and this one hit point wonder is a shining example of that.

22. Archeops

If there wasn’t an image limit on posts, I could fill up a list with fossil Pokemon as I love almost all of them. But my favorite of them all is definitely this awkward, struggling proto-bird that hits like a truck until it gets too many boo-boos and just gives up. It’s kind of relatable.

21. Iron Valiant

As much as I prefer the Paradox Pokemon in Scarlet to the ones in Violet due to their more wild designs, my favorite Paradox of all is one of the robots. It’s a very unique design among its cybernetic brethren, incorporating elements of both Gardevoir and Gallade into one awesome ‘mon. It’s quite literally the best of both worlds, and the colorless shiny version looks even better.

20. Salazzle

For a series with such a massive furry fandom, it’s honestly pretty impressive they managed to have the restraint to avoid creating a deliberately sexy design for six generations. And when they finally caved in the seventh, they made that design a venomous, fire-breathing succubus salamander. I love this stupid sexy lizard, especially that stunning shiny.

19. Chandelure

Some people hate the Pokémon based on inanimate objects, which I’ve always found stupid; a good chunk of Pokémon are based off of Yokai, and guess what a lot of Yokai are? My favorite of this brand of Pokémon is definitely the killer chandelier ons, another example of how Ghost types get all the coolest designs.

18. Meloetta

Such a simple yet elegant design for this mythical ‘mon. I really wish its gimmick was a bit more useful in combat, but when you look as good as it does it’s forgivable.

17. Milotic

The elegant, defensive counterpart to the rough, offensive Gyarados, Milotic was almost always a bitch and a half to acquire in the older games, but damn if they weren’t worth the effort of fishing up a Feebas!

16. Scizor

How do you make a mantis-velociraptor hybrid monster even cooler? Make it turn into a red steel mantis monster that can dish out and tank hits better than ever. Easily my favorite Pokémon introduced in the

15. Gardevoir

Look, Gardevoir has a bit of a reputation on the internet, but that's not the reason I love it. I've adored it since I was a little kid, playing Sapphire for the first time and adding this pretty Psychic being to my team to help me crush my foes. It's such a beautiful, elegant creature, and contributes a great deal to my overwhelming adoration of the Fairy type after retroactively being given it.

14. Hatterene

Gen VIII got its very own Gardevoir in this beautiful witchy Fairy, but there's a bit of a twist here; where Gardevoir loves and guards its trainer with its life, Hatterene will beat the ever-living shit out of anyone it senses is experiencing strong emotions. It's much more in line with mythical fairies than a lot of its kin, and the fact it's a pretty tough fighter only makes it more appealing to me. Love a girl that's both beautiful and deadly.

13. Roserade

I was always a big fan of Roselia even back as a kid, but I was a bit sad at how it wasn't really a viable fighter. Thankfully, I only needed to wait a single generation for that problem to be solved with a gorgeous evolution. Gen IV really knocked it out of the park with improving old 'mons with great new evolutions, but Roselia got the best of the bunch in my eyes.

12. Tinkaton

This is a Pokemon that just about everyone loves, but how can you not love it? It's a violent little gremlin with a hammer three times as big as its body that loves to antagonize birds by knocking rocks into the sky. The best Fairy Pokemon combine cute designs with those mischievous folkloric fairy antics, and Tinkaton is the best mix of those around.

11. Deoxys

As a kid, I saw a rumor back on the internet saying that if you watched the rockets in Mossdeep City enough times, eventually you'd get to ride one to the moon and battle Deoxys. I laughed this off, thinking this was a fake rumor for a fake Pokemon... and then the movie Destiny Deoxys, one of my favorites of the series, dropped, and I was in that space station every day hoping to go to the moon. I'd have to wait til Gen VI for that dream to be realized, but this bizarre alien virus has always remained one of my favorite Pokemon regardless of how hard to acquire it tends to be.

10. Lurantis

I love how clever it is conceptually; it's a reverse orchid mantis, a plant pretending to be a bug. And it's a very cute plant at that! I don't care if its slow as molasses like nearly every other Alola Pokemon, Lurantis is an absolute cutie and I'm happy it has consistently made the cut even with the Pokedex being trimmed in the newer games.

9. Blaziken

My first ever starter, and one that will always hold a special place in my heart. It's hard not to love an actual fighting cock in a series accused of being superpowered cockfighting.

8. Zeraora

Probably one of the least popular mythical Pokemon out there, but if Zeraora has only one fan, I am that fan. There's just something about its design that really appeals to me, and no, it's not just because I'm a furry.

7. Ceruledge

Ghosts just really have the best designs. A living suit of armor that's also on fire and has flaming ghost swords for hands? Literal perfection.

6. Pyukumuku

Yet another bizarre gimmick Pokemon, in the vein of Shuckle or Wobbuffet as it learns no attacking moves and has pitiful offensive stats in return for sky-high defenses. This little gimmick creature is absurdly adorable compared to those two though, and it fights by barfing up its insides in the form of a giant fist. Plus, it has the best green shiny ever, going from a mere sea cucumber to a sea pickle.

5. Volcarona

Tyranitar and Hydreigon are the Godzilla and Ghidorah of Pokemon, but the trifecta is not complete for that all-out attack without Mothra. Enter Volcarona, the best and most beautiful Bug in the series. It's got absurdly high stats, an incredibly fluffy design, and an absurdly high level requirement to evolve, but boy is it ever worth it.

4. Obstagoon

The only good Gene Simmons ever did for the world is inspire this upgrade for the oft-forgotten Linoone. Of course, much better than its KISS-inspired base color is its shiny alt, which is a garish glam rock/Bowie-esque bright red and blue goon.

3. Meowscarada

I'm usually the type who starts off with a Fire starter, or on rare occasions the Water one. I almost never start with a Grass one... but Scarlet was the exception, because this gorgeous trickster stage magician cat is just too fucking cool to pass up on.

2. Cinderace

God, I love Cinderace. It has such a sleek, cool design that makes it my favorite Fire/Fighting starter despite not even having the Fighting type. It's nimble, acrobatic, and can kick your ass into next Sunday, but it doesn't have that bitch of a type combo despite all signs pointing to it. What a funny bunny.

1. Absol

Absol, and especially its Mega Evolution, are the very best Pokemon to me. I love their design, I love their tragic backstory that over the years has come to acknowledge how the Pokemon has become widely beloved by the fanbase... I trained one up to level 100 back before the Phsyical/Special split, and in those days this thing was next to useless in a fight. That's how deep my love for this Pokemon goes.

ooc: i love them but they also fill me with pain

Some quick pokemon ficlet, my girls Marian and Monette just, having a nice time

Marian always loved battling her fellow gymleaders. There was no limiting your team, no planning your moves both to win and teach at once, none of the burning worry of defending your territory. Only the thrill of competition, sharp focus as you try to plan four moves ahead, the pride of watching your team put proof to your training. The way that pride crests to an inferno when you win, your opponent’s last pokemon hitting the floor with finality and your own turning to you as they do with full confidence in their victory.

A laugh chimed from the other end of the field and was enough to draw a long, barking one from Marian as her face split into a grin. She threw her arms around her Tyrantrum’s head best she could while he pressed it against her torso.

“You did amazing, there’s going to be a whole Girafarig flank for you tonight!” He rumbled his pleasure and with a tap to one eye ridge backed up enough for her to take in his wounds. Not much, considering his opponent, but then Dracozolt had softened her up a bit before going down. Nothing that needed immediate attention at least, and it was only once she was sure of this that she recalled him. “Rest now, you’ve more than earned it.” Hefting the familiar weight in her hand, Marian let herself privately bask in the victory another moment before turning her attention to her opponent.

Monette was, as expected, sat on the ground, finishing up songs of praise and rewards as she recalled her Clefable. She turned Marian’s way as she approached, smiling brightly, and when she accepted a hand up her grip was such that, once she had her footing, she could bring the older woman’s knuckles to her lips. Marian laughed again at the teasing flirtatiousness in her face.

“No,” she said for what might have been the millionth time and with no more heat than had ever been there. Monie’d flirted since they day they’d first met- when she’d been on her journey and Marian was apprenticing- and it had never been serious or pushed enough to be an issue. “I believe you owe me lunch now?”

“I believe I do.” She stepped back and shook the dirt from her skirt, then offered her arm like a proper gentleman. “Once we get this lot to the pokemon center, there’s a new café that opened recently that makes the greatest tortilla soup you’ve ever eaten. And they have these little pastries, darling, with so much powdered sugar if I shook one over your head you’d come out looking like me.” Shaking her head fondly, Marian accepted the arm. She worked hard, damn near every day, if a good friend and coworker wanted to treat her like a fine lady she wasn’t about to do without.

“Try to avoid it, I don’t think I could take the downgrade-”

#fanfic #monette= fairy specialist #marian= dragon specialist and still able to beat her in a battle #monie'd have bought her lunch anyway but they wanted to get a battle in

Luxray (one of my faves of all time ever.........)

Ampharos

Raichu

Toxtricity (low-key form)

Dracozolt (the fact im including this one also surprises me)

Zeraora

(from darkestnightz)

What do you guys know about Galarian fossil Pokémon? I just found your blog so I dunno if you already answered, but is it inhumane to revive them? They always seem like they're in pain and it makes me sad, but I love Dracozolt and it seems like it has the least amount of problems to me

Oh dear.

While none of us have ever been to Galar, we are aware about Galarian fossil Pokemon. We had a big discussion about them in our discord server a few months ago.

While you are correct that Dracozolt has the least amount of problems of them, the the keyword there is "problems". It still has many problems.

Dracozolt are almost always suffering from starvation and malnutrition. Their front section isn't big enough to obtain enough food for the whole body. They need to eat far more than their stomach can hold daily in order to be healthy.

I'm not an expert, but personally, I would say that yes, it is inhumane to revive them, even Dracozolt.

Hey Phantom Thieves! Big fan, if y'all used Pokemon instead of personas any ideas which 'mons y'all'd use?

Akira: I don't even know where to begin, given all my Personas...

Marinette: I dunno, Azumarill? Blissey?

Ryuji: Not a lotta pirate Pokemon... but knowing Seiten Taisei, I'll go with Electivire.

Kim: In spite of Yanbian's ability and my being-the-fastest thing-

Ryuji & Alix: HEY!

Kim, ignoring them: - I'm gonna go with Turtonator or Incineroar.

Ann: Incineroar isn't too bad for me, but I think Chandelure and Mismagius work even better!

Alix: Smartass... Cinderace, hands down.

Morgana: Thievul works, doesn't he... Zorro does mean fox, so...

Yusuke: At the risk of sounding pompous, I think Tornadus would work...

Nathaniel: With the color scheme, Thundurus might be better... oh, mine is either Gogoat or Dubwool.

Makoto: I feel like those new Legendaries could be the best fit for me. Probably Miraidon...

Luka: I'm similar to Nath and Yusuke, but I can also see Lugia.

Futaba: Why?

Luka: Big hands...?

Futaba: I'll... just go with it... I guess Tentacruel works, but I also could see Toxapex for some reason.

Juleka: Crobat feels too easy, but... I don't have much better.

Juleka pauses before slapping her head.

Juleka: Swoobat! Duh!

Marc: Maybe Mightyena for me... wait, no! Honchkrow!

Yuuki: Zygarde! I love Zygarde!

Nino: I feel like Haxorus works for Shango...

Shiho: Hawlucha feels like it would work for me in aesthetic, but Togekiss probably fits Leda better.

Kagami: Just about any Dragon-Type for me... I have a soft spot for Dracozolt, however...

Haru: It seems I'm last... Gardevoir is one of my favorite Pokemon of all time!

Futaba and Yuuki snicker.

Haru: ... I do not like the sexualization of them, however. Anyone who tries to have sex with a Gardevoir should impale themselves on its chest-spike!

Futaba and Yuuki stop snickering.

Pyukumuku (Defense and Speciall Defense) - Water — Level 63

Zoroark (Speical Attack) - Dark — Level 65

Silvally (All Around) - Normal — Level 64

Sylveon (Special Defnese and Special Attack) - Fairy — Level 66

NOTES

- Techno’s team is all around balanced with hard hitters and one that is basic a ‘fuck you’ to those who like to one hit KO things.

- Techno’s partner is Aegislash and he does have a secondary team he travels with.

- Phil is a hard Attack hitter and unless you can match his attacks with defense, you’re hurting.

- His son is Tommy, who grew up being trained by both Techno and Phil. Tommy hopes to give Techno a battle he won’t forget. Techno secretly is hoping for that day.

- Eret likes to change the battle field to fit her advantage.

- Eret also is a Pokémon contest queen, and is Ranboo’s idol.

- Eret is a heavy Special Attack user too and is a drastic change from the last two fighters. Hence why he’s second to last often fought.

- Connor is often considered the ‘weakest’ of the Elite four. Even though he’s beaten many trainers dreams of facing Techno at the first round. He’s rather care free and silly, but isn’t called the Electric Boom for nothing.

- He tends to be an all around type of fighter to get you into the idea of what you’ll be facing after him.

- Bad often helps a a cafe his boyfriend, Skeppy, runs. I mean even Elite four members have lives.

- Bad’s Pokémon are known to stall the game as he has a lot of healing moves and buffing states moves. He can be annoying.

- Reason for this choice of elect four is that Orgins has a lot of fairy, dark, psychic, dragon, and ghost type Pokémon.

- it is said the reason’s religion and Pokémon are shrouded in mystery and mysticisms.

- and there has never been an electric type elite four member that I know of. Lol.

- Connor was originally going to be a Dragon or Ghost type user. But I’m wanted it to be unique and balanced.

- Phil often helps out at the Pokémon schools by coming in and letting kids see how to best connect with your Pokémon. His Honchkrow, Brian, loves the kids.

- Connor helps out with the power companies and archeologists groups.

- His partner Pokémon is often in Low Key Form. Reflects his own nature.
