What are your favorite pokemon from gen 5 and onwards?

Inspired by the recent discussion in the Unpopular opinions thread about the designs of newer gens, what are your favorite pokemon from gen 5 and onwards? (gen 4 is also allowed for those feeling old at heart :wink: )

Here are some of mine to get things started:

Gen V the therian forms are just awesome to me. They remind me of Gen 1 Pokémon where things appeared more beast-like rather than being bipedal humanish. Aegislash is also memorable for being a rare steel + ghost type

Gen VI I honestly barely remember. Talonflame and Pancham are alright I guess. Neither is super original but they aren’t bad at all either

Gen VII is one of my favorite gens ever. I love the hell out of Primarina due to the anime. Zeraora also reminds me of my alma mater’s mascot and so I’m a fan

Gen VIII I enjoyed less overall as a region, but some Pokémon and characters still have great design. I have to admit I am quite the fan of Scorbunny’s evolution like, despite it being one of those bipedal humanish Pokémon. Galarian Obstagoon is cool, especially the shiny version. Wooloo is legit because it reminds me of age of empires (wololo). Dreadnaw is also quite a nice design

Lmao you know me all too well! :blush:
Fun fact with that one: its actually a new years decoration. So its called the Dedenne Kagami Mochi which means “Mirror Rice Cake”, thus its supposed to be two rice cakes stacked together in the shape of Dedenne lol.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagami_mochi link for the decoration info
