I ranked every Pokemon once at the end of Gen IV and then again at the end of Gen V. Dewgong was #1 both times and that’s unlikely to change, ever. 😉 ---

I’d have to put it as a top 5 in no order: Lugia Gyarados Moltres Rayquaza Tyranitar I hate to do exactly what you said not to but these were my favourites as a kid too and I gotta say my reasoning doesn’t really go very far past “it’s badass” haha. ---

> [@theobest](#): > > My favorite Pokemon is Shuckle. The TCG gives it no love, but in the video games it’s hella hard to kill. If ev trained correctly, its defence and sp. def will be well into the 600’s. Power Swap, which averages the opponent’s Att/Sp. Att with Shuckle’s, essentially can almost halve the opponent’s attack power. That and I just liked that you could steal it from a random trainer in G/S/C. Its past is a complete enigma, but there’s got to be a reason for it to hide under rocks like its his job. > > Yamask is a pretty neat concept for a Pokemon and I’m surprised that it hasn’t received any criticism from any religions for proposing reincarnation. For some reason, it reminded me of the most depressing pokemon ever, Parasect. The mushroom on its back is essentially a parasite that took over its body. > > Here is a website I found with a comical twist on some of the more grim entries from the new’ish B/W games. > [www.comicsalliance.com/2011/03/15/weirdest-pokemon-black-white/](http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/03/15/weirdest-pokemon-black-white/) [br? There is pokemon name rhyming thread that came out somewhere. The best one was “don’t fuckle with the shuckle.” ---

Green flying snake all the way. But cyndaquil comes in at a close second. ---

> [@missingno](#): > > Charmander. Hes such a humble little guy. Until he evolves. I like that a lot. Of the 3 OGs, charmander is definitely my favorite.

Umbreon of course…Raikou and Tyranitar are both seconds, though I like Raikou a bit better. ---

Gyarados is my favourite all day long. The fact he evolves from such a useless little fish into some big raging water dragon that can wipe out towns is amazing! Lugia is tied second with zapdos. They were both from my favourite list when I was a kid. Still remember my base zapdos card, that thing never left my sight haha ---

I’m really partial to ghost Pokemon (esp Gengar and Haunter) too. Their artwork is always really cool. And the mix of malevolence with playfulness is so interesting! ---

Typhlosion for me, as Cyndaquil was my “first” Pokemon when I started playing the games. ---

I remember Blastoise was the first to get to 100, and then Mewtwo. Blastoise would handle his own, but would sometimes faint on pokemon stadium, and mewtwo would always deal with whatever was left. I remember Mewtwo would sometimes beat all 3 pokemon, with that combination of Psychic, Recover, Tri attack/swift. I always think about turning on my GB but always worry that the internal battery has stopped working at this point. ---

i’m gonna have to go with, in order, cotton candy, key chain, guy metapod 2, ugly magikarp, then pankcake fish. if i had to choose from first generation I would definitely choose the ghetto prostitute. Big Grabage and magnets are pretty cool though too.
