Fire is mine. My starters have always been fire post Yellow and Pikachu, because they usually have great designs.

However, my favorite Pokemon is Rotom. I do like some electric pokemon too

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Fairy types have some of the cutest.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I'm not really picky on types but plenty of my favorite mons are fighting types, like Hawlucha!

Although my absolutely favorite Pokemon isn't a fighting type funnily enough.

Spoiler

It's Rock/Dragon.

 

[Floridian]

The eternal ghosts.

 

[jadedm17]

Fire and Dragon, later becoming Dark also.

I'm talking about cosmetically though, so I'm aware from a fighting standpoint I mail suffer for always using Growlithe and Poochyena as my mains.

 

[PreyingShark]

Voted Dragon because they look cool and are usually pretty good.

Usually.

...Poor Flygon.

Spoiler

It's not bad but there isn't much reason to use it seriously because Garchomp exists.

 

[GamerJM]

Probably water. I also really like physic, dragon, fighting, and steel.

 

[Giever]

Hmm. It's gotta be Ghost, I think. I always liked it, but Chandelure probably cemented it for me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Voted Dragon because they look cool and are usually pretty good.

Usually.

...Poor Flygon.

Spoiler

It's not bad but there isn't much reason to use it seriously because Garchomp exists.

Maybe if you like green?

 

[EulaCapra]

Water. They have a wide range of the cutest (Piplup, Oshawatt), coolest (Greninja, Gyrados), majestic (Milotic, Kyogre), and the wackiest (Ludicolo, Slowpoke).

My love for Grass comes second. It's a shame Game Freak continues to mock them with more and more attacks, yet less and less type advantages and resistances.

 

[Maligna]

Supposedly they suck, but Poison type.

 

[devonodev]

Fire!

 

[LeleSocho]

'sup fuckers

i'm going to make all your pokémon faint

 

[Breloom]

Grass types because it's the ultimate troll type

see: Jumpluff, Ferrothorn, Breloom

 

[WarAdept]

Grass

Every single first playthrough per gen, I always pick the Grass starters. There's something super appealing to the mixed roles that plenty of Grass types offer from status to walls to even sweepers.

Meganium is still rubbish though and Serperior (and all the gen 5 starters really) was the only starter that I've ever put in the PC and never bother to take out on my story playthroughs.

Although Contrary Serperior is a harbinger of death these days.

BONUS LUDICOLO BECAUSE ITS FUCKING DANCING

 

[Hot Coldman]

You usually get another type attached, so I'll say Fighting and Flying. That versatility.

On their own, probably Dragon. Or Fairy. Both are highly adaptable.

 

[cagelessrat]

Normal type has most of my favorite designs. They don't have the slickest moves or strategies, but that's okay.

 

[Nanashrew]

Water, Fire, Steel, Dark, Dragon and Psychic. My favorite Pokemon is Sandshrew even though he's ground type.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Water and Grass are equal top favorites for me.

 

[Zyrox]

Ghost. I just love most of the ghost Pokémon designs, and the reasoning and lore behind them. Gengar, Dusknoir, Chandelure, Aegislash, Giratina, Golurk, Cofagrigus, Trevenant etc. are all some of my favorite Pokémon.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Dragons, baby~

 

[spiritfox]

Voted Dragon because they look cool and are usually pretty good.

Usually.

...Poor Flygon.

Spoiler

It's not bad but there isn't much reason to use it seriously because Garchomp exists.

I heard you talking shit about my bro Flygon.

Flygon is great. He gets U-Turn and Levitate. Plus he is cooler than the ugly landshark.

Spoiler

He needs a Mega

 

[ffdgh]

Water because Buizel is da best.

 

[woopWOOP]

Normal for sure. Cutest average joe's in the franchise. I adore all those Normal critters you meet on the first route. Yes, including Bidoof and Patrat.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Mawile type.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

I'm really fond of psychic and dragon types, though it might be a mental hold-over from gen 1 where they were typically rare and extremely powerful.

 

[Kriken]

Dark

Sableye, Greninja, Houndoom, can't go wrong

 

[Juni_]

Flying types. Farfetch'd is my favorite pokemon.

http://zerochan923600.deviantart.com/art/The-Farfetch-d-Family-283570668
I also like grass types.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Fighting.

Runners up: Dark, Psychic, Ice, Fairy

 

[Santiako]

The one that has both Arcanine and Charizard, no contest.

 

[cagelessrat]

Flying types. Farfetch'd is my favorite pokemon.

Farfetch'd is the best.

 

[GoldCrusader]

It's a tie between dragon because of Kyurem and fighting because of Conkeldurr and Gallade.

BUT GOD DAMN WHITE KYUREM IS SOOO CHILLLL

 

[RayearthRob]

Water!

Tentacruel! My favorite pokemon!

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Steel is my favorite type. Steelix used to be my favorite Pokemon.

Ice would be second, because Avalugg is my new favorite Pokemon.

 

[Kor of Memory]

I want to say Rock type, except Rock has only stood on it's own 8 times. It's usually paired with ground or something.

So I'm going to say Fossil-type. Because mutha'uckin Jurrasic Park up in here!

 

[JNA]

For Starters, I almost always pick Water: Blastoise, Feraligatr, Empoleon, and Greninja. The only exception to this is Emboar because he looks so bad ass.

Plus Water has one of my favorite pokemon: Gyrados and SlowBro!

Ghost also has one of my favorites: Gengar!

Psychic has plenty I love, including my favorite legendary: Mewtwo.

Tough decision, I guess either Psychic and Water overall.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Before I started playing the games, i watched the anime, and it came time to watch Abra and the Psychic Showdown, and seeing Kadabra wipe the floor with Pikachu using only its mind cemented my lifelong love of Psychic Pokemon.

I also like Steel.

 

[Griss]

Fire and Pyschic were always my favourites, but fairy is making a run at that now. I wanted a fairy type for years - though in my mind it was the 'Lunar' type or some such.

As for worst types - Dragon and Bug. Neither should be types as it restricts all such designs to those types. Why couldn't a dragon just be 'Fire', but be an awesome dragon? It has contributed to the Dragon type often being way overpowered and on the opposite side the Bug type being way underpowered.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Virus types.

 

[Zomba13]

I find it hard to pick a favourite type, especially when Eevee and it's evolutions are some of my favourites. Gun to my head, forced to pick I'd probably go Water as a bunch of the ones I really like are water like Blastoise, Geninja, Gyarados, Slowpoke/bro.

 

[JNA]

Alakazam is my dude!

 

[Regiruler]

Steel takes this EASY

 

[marimorimo]

I like grass types for starters, and dragon for everything else. I still find Turtwig the cutest pokemon design ever.

 

[Slermy]

Bug, c'mon! I've always loved the type from day one.

Bugs

Yes!

#BugType

I was really hoping when the Fairy type was introduced, bugs would be Super Effective against them... but nope.

 

[Dryk]

I usually take to Grass-type's designs pretty quickly but they don't suit my style at all. I also really like Absol, Umbreon and Tyranitar but despise some other dark types. That's actually a tough question.

Dark type, but Gamefreak hates it. 20 years and there still hasn't been a Dark type gym, whilst the cheesy ass Fairy type got a gym in it's very first game.

This is some bullshit.

Dark Types have been unappreciated. There are still no Dark-Type gyms

There are 3 Elite Four members that use Dark though. Poison has been shafted slightly more.

 

[Usobuko]

I like specific pokemons and not types in general. If I were to choose my favourite 3, it would be Steel, Ghost and

I think Grass pokemons are adorable.

 

[Kindekuma]

I like Ground types probably the most.

 

[Wolvesinthebathroom]

The cool type.

 

[Thud]

Dark, Steel, Fighting and Physic.

Umbreon is my fav.

 

[SliceSabre]

Normal types always have and always will rule supreme in my eyes.

I means its hard to deny how awesome normals like Wigglytuff are.
