Charizard is and has always been my clear favourite. That hasn't changed once in fifteen or so years so I'm pretty comfortable in my answer.
Electabuzz used to be my favorite before Gen 2, or at least one of them. Then Elekid was revealed and I cried because he so terrible.13 pages and no mention of:
I'm disappointed.
Well I mean... Yeah?
If you believe the 570 designs following the original 151 are all trash, you can't be taken seriously.
Dark Jolteon is one of my favourite Pokemon art of all time.this little fella is my favorite
has been one of my favorites since GEN I
Haha, it was Black/White that almost killed the series for me. I didn't like any of the starters and found the region incredibly dull and linear. I also didn't like that they blatantly tried to recreate the magic of Kanto in the designs themselves. So many of the Unova Pokemon are conceptually ripped off of Kanto (or other popular designs).
Audino = Chansey
Conkeldurr line = Machamp line
Patrat line = Raticate line
Musharna line = Hypno line (dream eater idea)
Zebstrika line = Rapidash line (elemental horse)
Gigalith line = Golem line (trade evo rock beast)
Throh/Sawk = Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan
Swoobat line = Golbat line
Trubbish line = Muk line
Bouffalant = Taurus
Jellicent line = Tentacruel line
Amoongus line = Electrode line (Pokeball mimics)
Excadrill line = combination of Dugtrio and Sandslash.
Klinklang line - Magneton (inanimate object come to life)
Seismitoad line = Poliwrath line (tympole even starts as a tadpole)
Unfezant line = Pidgeot line (looser connection here, since regional birds are common)
Genesect = Mewtwo (genetically modified by Team 'X')
That was just off the top of my head so I'm probably missing some. Zoroark was also a clear attempt at creating a Lucario 2.0
There are Pokemon in Unova that I like the idea behind more than the actual design itself...if that makes sense? I mean Scrafty is a trouser snake so it's cool that they incorporated that into its design, but I still think it's ugly as hell. Chandelure is a perfect concept for a fire/ghost...but I just don't like how it looks. I could go on and on. :/ Volcarona falls into this as well, not that it would have mattered since you can't use it until after the Elite Four and it doesn't evolve until level 59 lol. That's actually a big problem with Unova - so many Pokemon don't evolve until level 50+. Don't know why they did that.
This was longer than I meant it to be. I really dislike Unova.
People always think I'm weird for this, but my favourite Pokemon is Mr. Mime/バリヤード
He's kind of weird himself I guess, but I've always just loved how he's so unique. There's no other Pokemon like him and I just find him really cool.
I said conceptually. Musharna and Hypno don't look anything alike, yes, but both are based on the idea of a dream eater, while Garbodor and Muk are both waste personified. I'd give you that the others are a bit more a stretch, but they still do fall within the same general outline of the Kanto Pokemon I connected them to.
It definitely tried to recapture Kanto with a new coat of paint, but that's part of what I liked about it (also every gen follows a similar design structure to Kanto, but Unova was just much more up front about it). The fact that none of the past pokemon were available pre-e4 was refreshing for me and I didn't have to worry about having Tentacool or Zubat showing up all the time! With Sinnoh though, I felt it relied too much on the past pokemon. It also didn't help that some of the new evolutions were unobtainable until post game (IIRC). The lack of fire pokemon and just diversity in general also hurt the experience for me, plus the extremely slow gameplay.Haha, it was Black/White that almost killed the series for me.

I remember in the ORAS OT we showed our faves from each type using this template
I'm sorry. I'm still salty Pinsir was never given a proper evolution while Scyther, Electabuzz, Magmar, Chansey, Porygon did. Even friggin Lickitung got an evolution. Farfetch'd am cry.The only thing wrong with Scizor is that it doesn't have an awesome clover green and silver motif. Otherwise, no.
You're right about Jolteon tho.

This was mine.
