My two favourite have always been Bulbasaur and Tyranitar.

 

[Raven77]

I think my main problem with the last 2 Pokemon main entry games is that the Pokemon have evolved (no pun intended) from looking mostly like something that could appear in nature (I know, even Gen 1, etc. had some non-natural looking Poke's) to something that looks like a animal-robot.

That being said, here is my number one, by far:

 

[Dagobert Duck]

If your answer isn't Squirtle you came to the wrong neighbourhood!

My gang already in here...good...Squirtle is the best!

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Gardevoir was my weapon of choice in the original Ruby/Sapphire, which was the last main entry I played. Probably my favourite overall design, plus it gets bonus points for its bravery / loyalty. There's something undeniably awesome about the mental image of one creating a goddamn black hole to protect its trainer.

 

[Glass Shark]

I've always liked Quagsire for some reason.

 

[Shuggananas]

He wins cutest award that's for sure

 

[The Shadow Knight]

Psychic Super Computer Robo Spider, can't get much better than that.

I distinctly remember going "Where do I get one of those?!!", when fighting Steven for the first time some 10 years ago.

 

[Kinsei]

wait

I have never seen this Pokémon before. I use.

I have a thing for blue Pokémon. Lapras, Articuno, Suicune...

It comes from the sail fossil in X/Y.

 

[GRIMREEFZ]

there will always only be 15

 

[ShinNL]

Always

Hell yeah!

 

[Inukage]

My first booster pack, this was my pride and joy on the playground, I've had him in my party since!

 

[Max Knight]

the king

Another vote for Tyrantrum.

Also Gengar.

Decisions are hard.

 

[_illmatic_]

Nidoking, all day baby!

 

[EvoMaldonado]

 

[Exotoro]

 

[MikeDip]

Dear Squirtle,
It's you. It's always been you.

 

[Adaren]

Always had a soft spot for Bellossom for some reason. I think it has something to do with her being such a tiny evolution...

 

[KTS2448]

This guy. He was always my go to pokemon for beating surge in Red/Blue/Green/Yellow.

Too bad he isn't all that popular. But the mystery. What does the other half of Diglett look like?

 

[Pro Bender]

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Gengar, by a mile. Has the coolest design and gets a lot of the really cool attacks.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

My #1

Scizor:

My other 3 top pick

Altaria:

Aegislash:

Gardevoir:

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Charizard was the most coveted Pokemon card back in the day. He had 120 HP. NOBODY else had that much HP.

So he gets bonus points for that. Also for the coolest shiny and mega designs.

This is my third answer in the thread, but there are so many variables. Coolest? Cutest? Novelty appeal? Ahhhhh! How is anyone supposed to choose just one?

 

[Conrad Link]

I'm sure it has already been said, but my number #1 is the number #1... literally.

Bulbasaur forever and always. <3

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Skarmory for life.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Umbreon. My favorite mostly due to the fact of how cool the sprite looks, but also how useful it is to me in battle. It's such a tank and it has cool attacks that I love.

 

[Boogiepop]

Always my favorite. For three others that are way up there but haven't been mentioned (otherwise Scizor, Mawile, and Jirachi may very well be getting posted here)

Was also really tempted to post Hydreigon, but honestly there's so many I love that I could just keep going and going.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

He stole my heart in gen 3 and never gave it back.

 

[Celtic]

Mother.


F***in'


TURTWIG.

I mean, come on guys. He's a turtle. With a twig on his head. That shit's adorable.

On top of that? He becomes this badass:

 

[Mista Koo]

As a companion:

Jigglypuff. So adorable and fluffy <3

As a weapon:

Luxray. Been waiting for a cool 3rd stage electric Pokemon since first gen.

 

[MrBadger]

How did I forget the GOAT?

 

[Iokis]

As an unashamed Gen 2 fanboy Scizor is also my main man (shout outs to the other Scizor lovers in the thread), he's always in my party when I can get my hands on him

But a big honourable mention to my second favourite gen with this badass (although I admit it's taken till now with her getting a Mega and Fairy typing to become really fun to use)

 

[Nintenleo]

Deadly beautiful.

 

[Omega Kirby]

001

And we're done here

Oh also Donphan

And Darkrai, superb design

 

[Zen_Arcade]

When I was a kid me and my brothers never were able to evolve this guy to Alakazam in gen 1 and 2 so we just had this one in every playthrough.

Since i was a kid

Mine too. The fragile minds of men are no match for such power.

My dudes. Glad to see that I wasn't the first one posting my man Alakazam and his evo line.

 

[Lucidforest]

This guy:

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

We can all agree if you go past 151 you're wrong, Right?

 

[RedSpring]

He's totally adorable. No idea why he turns into a plane for his evolution.

Runner up goes to

 

[_h8bit]

I can't complete a pokemon game without my boy Haunter

 

[Wolkenballer]

-

 

[JimPanzer]

 

[CassSept]

Charizard forever.

Besides Charizard, Chandelure is so absurd that I can't help but love it.

 

[Nightbird]

We can all agree if you go past 151 you're wrong, Right?

Please don't do this in here ok? There are plenty of great designs across all Generations of pokémon

This made laugh more than it should have xD

 

[tmarques]

The duck is the only one that doesn't gross me out.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Funnily enough I haven't played ORAS, I like his mega though.

My brother.

Swampert's Mega is ugly, though. Much prefer Mega Rayquaza or Mega Charizard Y.

 

[ChoklitCow]

 

[BossDarkseid]

WHen I first got on back on Pokemon Red it was like the great achievement of my then 8ish year life.

 

[Beelzebufo]

My brother.

Swampert's Mega is ugly, though. Much prefer Mega Rayquaza or Mega Charizard Y.

What's wrong with taking care of yourself?

 

[Noobcraft]

This thread needs more Bellsprout love.

 

[NSESN]

Overall:sceptile/grovyle
battle:scizor

 

[JoeM86]

Goes without saying.

Though competitively, Malamar has been climbing up my awesome ranks. Been using it since XY and it has turned the tide of many a battle.

Note: Yes I know the last one is actually Zorua. Shush
