What is your favorite Pokémon and why?

Tough day on my end so figured I’d ask something fun.

What is your favorite Pokémon and why?

Mine is charizard because my first game was Pokémon red and I remember my mom buying g it for me when I was 6. Brings back a-lot of really nice memories not only of Pokémon but of seeing my mom just trying to make her kid happy. Makes me appreciate everything she has done for me

Déjà vu?

Haha maybe I’m feeling a bit sentimental today :sweat_smile:

Mine is probably Celebi. There are many reasons: grass is my favorite type, followed by psychic, I generally like mythical pokemon a lot, and the all concept behind celebi is awesome. It’s the god of its forest and it’s worshipped like a little kami, and the shrine thing is so cool.

Also an onion with wings doing time shenanigans? I’m in,

I don’t have a favorite. I wish I did. Zubat isn’t my favorite, thought I do love Zubat. Maybe Caterpie or Butterfree or Crobat or Jigglypuff. I used to love Steelix and Scizor.

When gold was released and steel type became a thing, I was pumped. Then Jasmine sent out that large metal snake and I was hooked. I LOVE huge resistance types, and paired with ground’s immunity to electric, Steelix is king

My favorite has been and forever will be Charizard. My 1st starter, when I first played Red at release. Plus, its an awesome Fire Dragon, what else can an impressionable youth desire? Unfortunately, everyone else seems to also have my love for Charizard. So collecting my #1 is unattainable, so I had to choose between my 2-3 pics, Garchomp and Greninja. In making the Greninja decision, its has since moved up to the #2 spot.

Don’t have a cool story about why, but I’ve just always loved Squirtle and his two evolved forms

Lots of great ones here, but this is MINE, and I’m sorry to say I am not sure, after recent designs:

Steelix has always been my fave…

…but Ceruledge is a new challenger to that, and I really like the elegant but intimidating design of Mega Absol…

Steelix is definitely one of my faves, I remember seeing it for the first time in this ad that’s in the Pokémon Movie 2000 VHS:

The idea that the monster that is Onix could evolve into something even cooler/more powerful just blew me away.

All the Steelix love makes me forget how much I loved the Pokemon too. Steelix was such a menacing Pokemon.
