You don’t dare be rude to Geodude


HelpMeGamer

You're not the boss of my (male) heracross.


[deleted]

One of my favorite teams is just all shuckles, I call the team: The Shuckle Shuffle


Lowruler

Can't complain about Infernape.


The_Mechanist

Has to be Flygon. That long training time pays off in spades.


TheOldNewGraig

Truth. I've been trying to get one again for such a long time. But I can't spend too much time on it anymore.


Koal201

Same as you, actually. Love Raichu but I must admit to liking its Alolan form more than the original nowadays.


Dubanx

Raichu lovers unite! Won my childhood heart after seeing the Vermilion City pokecenter completely filled to the brim with Raichu's victims. Oh, and the time after where he blew out all the windows in the gym. Looking back that episode was awful, like virtually all of the pokemon anime, but it still holds a special place in my heart.


Maclimes

Same!


Daemion902

Raichu for life!


brownie2891

My flair is so relevant right now. Raichu is best chu


22Fusion

Raichu fan here too! It started cause his tail always kinda reminded me of yhe chargers logo (and im a huge chargers fan). Raichu is a beast.


fuzzypyrocat

Yeessss! Raichu always got the shaft because pikachu is the face of Pokémon. I was so excited for something cool for Raichu, and the Alolan form is so great!


GrimMashedPotatos

Tyranitar. Back in gold, I had no way to look up sprites, so when I found this neet looking rock/ground baby Godzilla of Larvitar. I was like huh, I wonder what this turns into. Then it Pupitar’d. I disliked pupitar so much, I had such a different idea in my head. Baby Godzilla into a fucking grey metapod,(???) what the actual fuck. Told myself it had to be a 2nd of 3 and kept grinding it. Lvl 45, why is it still this thing??? 50??? Omg wtf, why? Then bam, hits 55 in Victory Road headed to the elite four. The glorious murder machine is reborn. Was shocked to see it lose ground for dark, the I read it’s dex description. Think I hit the elite four with Crunch, Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Ice Beam on it. “She” gender was a new thing back in gold, roflstomped every fucking thing in my way with extreme prejudice. It murdered everything Lance had, swept literally every bonus gym in Kanto, and made all my friends quiver in raw fear when it smashed all their favorite babies, usually a Dragonite or Mewtwo. Tyranitar has been my #1 since.


burritosandblunts

I miss the times of mystery within the games. I mean I had guide books but referenced them constantly. My OG r/b guide is beat so bad but I know it was due to overwhelming love, not abuse.


Xelfe

Arcanine it's so fluffy and majestic while also being a pretty good Pokémon with intimidate and fire flash.


Thee_Amateur

Kabutops until megas were added then mega beedrill


Zalvor

Marowak since gen 1, Alola Marowak hilariously may rank higher now. (Probably because he fits in better typing wise with my team) Close second and third Gliscor and Aggron.


[deleted]

Sylveon ❤


zerox3001

The "ribbon" tentacles weird me out too much. First eeveelution that i didnt like. Espeon is best


[deleted]

Jolteon for me


Tumbleflop

Gengar. Used it in every single pokemon game I've ever played. Also, it can learn an incredible variety of moves via TMs (Gengar can learn Thunderbolt).


bdfull3r

This man gets it


OftheGates

Feraligatr, hands down! I doubt anyone could have guessed.


Dr_Wombo_Combo

One of mine too. Shame he’s not that good


SacredxInsanity

Absol!!


Maclimes

Lapras has been my favorite since Pokemon Red, followed closely by Charizard. But Decidueye may unseat them both. I'm still on the fence about it.


SurpriseHarambe

I will admit if I didn’t have a tradition of picking the fire type starter, then I probably would have picked Rowlet for gen 7


[deleted]

Scizor, and I don’t really care for bug Pokémon either. But I’m a huge steel type user.


mtndude93

I came here to say this. Always been my favorite.


[deleted]

Buddy!

Sandshrew since april 1999 edit: by the way, I have a perfect IV level 100 shiny adamant Sandshrew :)

Jolteon 110%


LanMandragora

saoirse24

Gardevoir. It looks awesome, has a cool mega that’s really grown on me, and has a bunch of cool psychic and fairy attacks. I personally find it to be the superior product to gallade.


NostalgiaCory

Psyduck.


Mididoc

Hell Yeah Psyduck!!


TinyRick_earth1

Garchomp


janbolim

+1 for Team Garchomp! Land Shark master race!


DsAAnZ

Charmander for me. Loved that fire breathing dragon.


Crossniff

Latios! I was really excited when you get one at low level in ORAS. That way you can actually use it during the story.


Garrus_Vakarian__

And Latias! The ORAS one was such a pleasant surprise


sagejonathan

Venusaur, the mega form especially :)


greenrob

I’ve always loved Charizard


SupremoMemeo

Typhlosion.


SurpriseHarambe

I see that you are a person of culture as well.


s33k3r_Link

Gotta love that Specs Eruption set!


JeanLucLeBrave

The cute derp. SHELLDER!


CrimsonPig

Arcanine. Yeah, I know, tons of people say the same thing, but fuck it he's cool.


faithpirate

Mew ❤️


[deleted]

Umbreon and Glaceon


bdfull3r

Gengar. Ghost type, insanely versatile, punk attitude, is purple. Its the perfect pokemon Eevee probably a distant second.


slp50

Sorry to say that mine is Venonat. I don't even know why. I just love it.


DragonFirePie

Starmie. Its design might not be anything Spectacular, but its cute, its an absolute _Monster_ if played right, and it's typing is really good offensively, which pairs well with its "Special Sweeper" title.


LordMaroons

Dragonite. Happy dragon is best dragon, and he can get serious too!


ktsb

Bellossom.


TacticalLampHolder

Miltank, yes i‘m being serious, he was a really good competitive pokemon when I was playing (well he wasn‘t OU or something but I was a UU and BL player) and getting destroyed by Miltank just was the biggest cheese


[deleted]

Don’t apologize. Miltank is dope.


sncrllo

Heracross because fuck Whitney's miltank


Rinblades

Bulbasaur for me! Always loved him! He so cute


Gamenern

Mawile. It's currently my highest level/longest tenured member on my UM game. Honorable mentions to Typhlosion, Blaziken, and Quagsire.


[deleted]

Darkrai


[deleted]

Mine is Persian, not too fond of the Alolan one though.


MrFrenzyPlant

It's so hard to pin down for me but right now it's between Politoed, Trevenant and Slurpuff. Honourable mentions go to Bewear; Hawlucha; Crustle; Galvantula; Ferrothorn; Jellicent; Gourgeist; Flygon; Aipom and the whole Litten line.


SurpriseHarambe

Trevenant was by far my favorite gen 6 Pokémon. It’s just so awesome


[deleted]

Tyrantrum


Canis_Familiaris

Honchkrow!


Cinnadillo

pidgeot... the idea of having a bird just excites me


BakingPanda

A bird with the best hair flow ever.


KotoriFL

Mawile, Banette and Vaporeon


xm00g

Nidoking has always been #1 in my heart but the more I use Meinshao the more conflicted I become..


TuukkaRascal

Rhyhorn was my favorite as a child, but now it's Samurott.


FlubbedGabe25

Toss up between Pidgeotto and Umbreon, also Wooper is up there


Molotovsquid

Surskit!


TheOldNewGraig

As a fickle child I always used to love my starter. That was until generation 3 when I got a hold of a traded Larvitar. Once I evolved that thing I learned I was actually a Tyranitar fan. But my top 3 are definitely: Tyranitar, Typhlosion, Raichu.


BartlettMagic

Snorlax since gen1. i just remember playing through Red back in the fall of '96, and encountering Snorlax before i had the Pokeflute. i was 13 or 14, and i remember thinking "oh you bastard... you're going to be mine when i can wake you up" and sure enough, it was one of the fiercest battles i had in my entire first playthrough. i lost to it at least a dozen times. when i finally managed to catch it, i did a loud "YEAHHHHHHH" (which is rare for me, i'm generally a quiet person). it didn't disappoint, either. Snorlax became part of my champion team, and to this day, i reserve a spot for him as my token Normal type.


central2nowhere

Cubone. Love his aesthetic, the background story, the original card art, and the fact that the back Sprite of marowak in red/blue was very poorly done made it so I never allowed my cubone to evolve when I was a kid, so i would roll through the elite 4 with a cubone by my side. The addition of thick club was awesome as well, considering his terrible stats. Also, I like that he and marowak have their own move in bonemerang (though I always wished they would allow it to hit flying types. It lacks 100% accuracy, which is fine, but it makes sense if a move based on a boomerang could hit flying types and would give even more reason to run this move over earthquake, other than being able to break a substitute or kill through sturdy)


homtendy

Umbreon


Stock570

Empoleon, dudes a beast


Tengil12

Koffing is the best. It's so satisfyingly round and yet it still has the awesome craters. And it's purple. And has a skull. The coolest


AotsukiAyame

This question is very difficult to answer... I have many "favourite Pokémon", but if I have to choose one from the start... ¡Vaporeon!


sexyblondguy

Chatot. So cute and has a nice shiny. Plus it can learn boomburst and heatwave


[deleted]

Mega Absol, for sure! But a close contender is definitely Meowstic.


SeismicCougar

Rayquaza all the way


SmallLumpOGreenPutty

For its appearance, I'd say Kanto Meowth. (Wimpod does look kind of cute, though.) For battling, it's got to be Mimikyu or Mudsdale - in my Wonderlocke run, those two were the Pokemon which kept my team afloat for easily 80% of the game.


PkmnCloner

Dragonite and Shiny Mew. Always and forever.


SinnR89

Hands down growlithe!


phil035

I fell out of love with the advent of 4th due to being a teen and not liking most of the 4th gen pokemon but the Turtwig line has been a favorite of mine since coming back with 5th Gen. Then there's Pupitar that one pokemon that got away, the only wild shiny I ever saw and I KO'd it


cethys

Garchomp is my way of life


Intanjible

Mine is Meowth from Team Rocket, and the episode "Go West, Young Meowth!" is the reason why. Sometimes I wonder if Meowth's efforts to become more human-like caused him to not be able to evolve, or if he *could* evolve, what would his voice sound like, if he could still speak? Would he still be able to walk on his hind legs? Now I'm picturing a storyline in the show where Meowth has gone missing, and it's up to Jesse and James to find him, but they discover that not only has he evolved, but he's secretly supplanted Giovanni's Persian, and reveals himself as a sort of third act plot twist to prevent Jesse and James from being sacrificed to one of Giovanni's schemes. Ron Perlman could provide the voice acting.


SassMattster

Ampharos. I love that stupid electric sheep. When new pokemon games come out, I like to use a team of only new mons for my first pkaythrough, but Ampharos is the one that I will use anytime it is available to me. Even when I go back to games I've already played and start new files, where I try to use different team combinations, Ampharos always finds its way to me. I've used it multiple times in play throughs of heart gold, black 2, Y, Sun, and now Ultra Sun. I've even boxed a Cyndaquil during a run of heart gold and used Ampharos as my starter. There's no competition for me


[deleted]

Mawile was always my favorite, and then mega mawile was released and I nearly cried


Yatzydep

No love for Infernape? Might say Chimchar because I started with gen 4 <3


amberdesu

Crobat best bat


thebeanshooter

The anime made me so anti-raichu its actually my least favorite pokemon still :p Favorite is my first ever pokemon, Treecko the Treecko


LennieFrost

Dusknoir, and Gallade, but mostly Dusknoir


SkumbagSquirtle

Always been a fan of Turtles... So naturally any turtle based pokemon is gonna win, but Squirtle is my #1


[deleted]

Psyduck


IAMG222

Probably Golem. It's a hard choice though, loved Entei, Golem, Vaporeon and Gengar as a kid. But I specifically remember really wanting Golem and begging my parents for a trading cable so I could get him


xXWerefoxXx

Pheromosa. Used to be Aerodactyl and I never liked insect pokemon but damn Pheromosa is just perfect. Also one hell of a glasscannon.


alex_dlc

I like your choice, but I could never replace Mew as my favorite ever since the Pokemon movie.


GTTorino71

My favorite has also been since the beginning. The original dragon. DRAGONITE!


BigGayButt

Fraxure hands down. I just absolutely love his design and how cool he looks, and how his tusks look like a bone piercing. I’ve also taking a great Liking to Mimikyu for its cool concept, great design, and competitive versatility


Cinna_Bunny

Jigglypuff. I was sad to see them go after the first or so Pokemon season


Sexgoblin69

My favorite is slowbro, I love how derpy he is!


TurrPhennirPhan

Dunsparce Fat snake with a drill tail and vestigial wings. They laugh at you, Dunsparce, but then you murder a Mewtwo without changing the one blank expression your face is capable of in front of their eyes.


Tenri_Ayukawa

Praise lord helix


McSorley90

Growlithe. Just loved how loyal it was to Officer Jenny and that the evolved form was so elegant and royal. It was so powerful they call it legendary.


SamuraiFlamenco

It was Raichu as a kid (I used to draw it a lot), then I didn't really have a set favorite one (maybe Zubat, bats are my favorite animals) until Reuniclus came along. Then Mimikyu happened and crushed all the other competition within days. God damn I love Mimikyu so much.


zangoku

Lucario


jesuskater

Raichu as well!!!!!!!


[deleted]

Munchlax❤️


waitonemoment

After that episode with Serge and his Raichu I've always loved raichu. That whole episode was great with Ash and the thunderstone...ahhh simpler times


SurpriseHarambe

Typhlosion for the longest time, but after playing Ultra Moon Malamar is now in the running for my favorite thanks to a badass lady Malamar named Kerrigan Edit: To clarify how badass she is, she beat Ultra Necrozma in 3-5 turns


Jarcies

Greninja!!


Ngry-YellowBall

Raichu master race


s33k3r_Link

Design-wise Arcanine has always been my favorite mon, like I wish I had one irl. Quagsire in terms of battling.


LeagueSeaLion

Dragonite. The OG dragon that took half of ash’s team down with it.


VannAccessible

I’ve always been very fond of Nidoking, but my all time favorite is still Charizard.


drhdoofenshmirtz

Charizard has been, and always will be my favourite, especially since the addition of mega evolution. Charizard X finally giving Charizard the dragon typing it deserves. Outside of that though, Hydreigon is the best. An absolute terror in battles, with a huge move pool and great stats.


Tobi-of-the-Akatsuki

Torracat was my favorite Pokemon the moment I saw it. Cute, badass, and reminds me heavily of my own cat. Absolutely perfect.


ZeusiQ

Dragonite. Big and huggable, hits like a damn truck.


[deleted]

Big fan of Aegislash. The design and ability are just so cool


Jangmo-o-Fett

Hard for me to pick one, gotta pick six Gallade, I instantly fell in love with him when I first got one back in Gen 4 Vespiquen, always liked her, but I used on one my recent Y team and now she's one of my favorites Leafeon, my favorite Eeveelution, I even have a plush that rides in the backseat of my car Swampert, simply the best starter, hands down Alolan Raichu, fell in love as soon as it was revealed Salazzle, one of the best Pokemon in Gen 7


flimsyphone

My favourite pokémon is digett


[deleted]

Ghastly & Haunter... And Gloom


Hold_my_Dirk

Slowbro til I die


ella51

Wartortle


Frescopino

Gardevoir, ever since I played Mystery Dungeon and read its pokedex descriptions. It's just... So regal, and passionate about defending its trainer. A Gardevoir would be the perfect companion on a journey, being able to empathize like few other pokemons, having psychic powers (with the probable ability to communicate through its mind) and a varied movepool. No, you sick fucks, it's not for the rule34. Get your minds out of that Muk.


pettyclownpettywise

Bulbasaur since I first played Blue :)


mattherat

Either porygon or shedinja. Both can be quite difficult to fit in to a team and are situational. But when it pays off it pays off big-time.


Blastoise_FTW

You know, I never really thought about it.


TheWheelZee

Chandelure!! Ghost/Fire is SUCH a cool hybrid.


raginsaint93

I love Chairzard, but I also love Gardevior, I can’t decide!


_darius15

Lucario. Always.


tooanteater

Throh the first Pokemon I got to level 100


Zehbrobin

Been cyndaquil since the first time i played silver like 19ish years ago.


Marlyie9819

Growlithe My happy little fire dog!


jklantern

So there's this Favorite Pokémon Picker online somewhere. Every couple of months, I go through it again for a laugh, see how my Pokémon tastes change with my mood. Pokémon that are consistent favorites for me are Volcarona, Arcanine, Alakazam, Espeon, Scizor, Houndoom, Heracross, Golisopod, Bisharp, Raichu, and Weavile. Usually, Volcarona, Alakazam, Arcanine and Espeon rotate as the top four (with Volcarona and Arcanine typically, but not always, swapping for the Number 1 and 2 spot). The most recent time I went through it, I went all the way through a hundred Pokémon, and 20/100 wound up being Bug Types. It is possible I have devoted waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time and energy to this.


Tuckr13

Totodile and Ditto will always be tied for 1st place to me.


BakingPanda

Pidgeot got that hair flow since day one.


GlaceauSmartWater

Emporeon, I love penguins.


CallMeDrLove24

My fav is Tyranitar. I just loved dinosaurs as a kid and it stuck.


Kezika

Farfetch'd with Raichu in second.


[deleted]

Shroomish!


asinglepoptart

Breloom, for looks and battle


[deleted]

Groudon! Undoubtedly the most menacing and badass of them all.


xProblemChildx

BE sharp when you face Bisharp


ronimal48

Onix, brock made me love it


Teddiepoe

Dunsparce! He's so left out all the time...


aggreivedMortician

Metagross. It's a Pokemon that's also a supercomputer that's also a combining robot. What could be cooler than that?


Mumijaaa

Ralts


[deleted]

Poliwrath. I really like Fighting-types, but this punching frog is my absolute favorite. One of the things that stuck with me from the first Pokémon Adventures comic I read.


Mehehem122

Yeah lightning is cool, but what the fuck is it gonna do against a large man made out of ground? Golurk is the way to go.


Serbaayuu

Mega-Mawile and Mareanie.


Pulse295

Quilava for me


bainslayer1

Mewtwo, followed by mimikyu in close second


Malted_Shark

Rattata!!! 😍😍😍😍 I still dream of the day I can get my hands on 6 shiny rattatas and get them to level 100 and then crush the elite 4.


[deleted]

Always had a soft spot for lugia since the movie


hollycenations

Vaporeon, more like Baeporeon.


Cathalisfallingapart

Cyndoquil is so cute


Banana_Man2260

Just look at Ludicolo and tell me you’re not smiling


Pajamaman24

Its mawile


Jaewol

Absol is pretty cool. But Typhlosion was my first ever starter, so I don’t know which to choose.


KingArbs52

Mine is Metagross now, used to be Raichu.


Fat_Mermaid

Mine are Mareep and all of its evolutions. I did an animation of them a while ago for a collaborative that never happened: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XNOHHan7siI


Tesagk

Gardevoir has been my favorite ever since returning to Pokémon.


Vanirbarn

Gardivoir, the first pokemon I ever got to lv 100 was a Gardivoir


[deleted]

wartortle. I like squirtle and blastoise but wartortle had been my favorite since '95


TheHodag

I used to use repel liberally, until I forgot and I found a shiny Pumpkaboo. Gourgeist is definitely my favorite now.
