An otter, for one. I love Oshawatt and like Dewott a lot, but I think they dropped the ball on Samurott - it just doesn't really make any sense for it to change animals, so to speak.

Yeah, those are both fantastic.Glaceon has always been one of my favourites, I just wish she wasn't such a glass wall when it comes to my ideal team (whereby style points > stats).
And the newest favourite has to be Jirachi, who not only looks cool but is amazing in a team.

It's really hard to keep hateful comments in my pocket in this thread. But I will try.
Here's mine:
It's a big and strong humanoid turtle. And he's got 2 water cannon in his shell. He's the greatest.

Best part?
Shiny Honchkrow is Pimpkrow.
Also, Honchkrow was apparently going to be called Crowleone until they got cold feet. The more you know.
And a fucking fedora to boot. Man, I should back into Pokemon.
My vote goes to Haunter.
Edit - Forgot this BAMF.
My favourite Pokemon ever.
Brofist.
The only pokemon that ever really mattered, its my favourite as well
Also arcanine is a pretty rad design too

yup probably the biggest picture ive seen on GAF
It goes from being bipedal to a quadruped and sort of dumps the potential of its first two evolutions. It doesn't feel like a logical extension.
He was EVERYONE's favorite as a kid.
Don't lie.
You wanted this motherfucker's trading card above all else.
truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
i never had one. i sucked at pokeymanz ;_;

I love Eevee! Need more eeveelutions!
I love the Fighting and Ground versions a lot.
I always choose water starters and Swampert is just my favorite of them all in terms of design
OMG I always picked him *.* Sapphire was my favorite Pokemon game
Maybe it's just me but I really like this guy
BLESS! I agree *.*

Scrafty is boss, one of my favourite designs of the newer gens.
I gotta give it to the Totodile line though. Because fucking Totodile. Best starter, best Pokemon.

loved the idea that it could transform into anything i wanted as a kid, and it'd be a awesome pokemon to play with
Finally! :-D
I was worried in 5 pages no-one would mention Ditto...
My honourable mentions go to:
Wailord
Gengar
Litwick (and let's face it, Chandelure)
Koffing

Always the best.
I love Whimsicott. A lot. More than any other Pokemon across the board. I didn't think I would love a Gen V poke so much, but there it is. I even caught a shiny only a few hours into the game, too <3 MOST FAVORITE POKEMON FOREVER. I wish they were real so I could bury my face in their fluffy fluff!
I really do love me the bug/grass types. I have a few exceptions I'm fond of (Froslass, Chandelure and a few others) but yeah. GRASS, YO.
So cute!!!
Leavanny! It looked just like Captain Badass<3
Whose a widdle snuggle shankems? Yoooooou are! Yes you are. Yes you aaaaaare. X3
As soon as I saw this guy I knew I had to have him on my team. Best type combo too.
wtf man quote ur shitMagikarp:
Such a noble and magnificent creature.
SNORLAXXXXXXx <3
Don't agree with everything going downhill after Gen I. Definitely went downhill after Hoenn though.

why is that magikarp picture so big
who would ever need a magikarp picture that big

I really like Chandelure.
They don't all have to be animals.
I really like Chandelure's design too. It just feels right
Or you know lightning bolts outside.
People like to hate him, but it's an iconic design. He made us all associate electricity with the color yellow for no apparent reason. Lightning is blue.
My favorite back in the day was Rapidash.
I'm all about the Blastoise. Those guns on his back, his build, and his grin all say he's a total beast and a gentleman.
Blastoise is the reason why I still choose water pokemon as my starter in every game.
also
most beautiful legendary pokemon

Volcarona is easily my favorite Gen V Pokecritter.
Also : I don't get what people see in Gengar. He's just a... thing... He looks like a lumpy pillow or jelly bean or something, with stubby legs and spiky hair. I dunno, doesn't look cool, doesn't look scary, doesn't look bad ass.

It's the shit eating grin. He know he's about to fuck you up.

Seriously, he's the king. Kinda wish his face was a bit less "cute", in comparison to 'chan and 'lee, but his design is fucking amaaaaaaaaaaaziiiiiiiiiiiing.
You sir have excelent taste.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
My favorite Pokemon as of now is Braviary.
But he's not the best designed Pokemon for me.
For me it's this motherfucker.
It just really fits. It fits the whole theme of the Pokemon (rookie peasant, trainee swordsman, samurai/daimyo). The shells as swords are very brilliant, and people wonder why it's not bipedal (it is - I bet it's only on all fours to "lower" its strength). The way how the shells also work as sheaths for his blade, the helmet and the beard forming the samurai mask? It's all up Bushido for him.

False. If anything, they just got better until reaching the peak of perfection with Gen V.
Read the OP. Then try to prove me wrong.
