All Pokemon--
6.) Spinda--So adorable, and totters around drunkenly to confuse opponents. Not to mention that the chances of finding two with the same spot pattern are about the same as getting the same Trainer ID twice.
5.) Treecko--As my first-ever Pokemon, this has to be on the list.
4.)Bulbasaur--Ever since first playing through Kanto (ironically in LeafGreen, then Blue), Bulbasaur has been a fantastic starter for me. ♥
3.) Cradily--"Wait, what?" you say as you read this. "Cradily?! It's so weird and...untypical..." In my first-ever Ruby version (also my first-ever Pokemon game, also now LOST
), I had a Sceptile Lv100, along with several others in my party that were high-level. My highest leveled Pokemon other than Sceptile was a Cradily, Lv77 or so. It's always had a special place in my heart and even today is my favorite fossil.
2.) Gardevoir--Another Pokemon in my party was a Gardevoir, around Lv69 if I remember correctly (it's been years...). It's so elegant and powerful--can be a BEAST now that Shadow Ball is special. Gardevoir is ALWAYS on my team, assuming it can be found pre-national dex. And if not, then I always catch one after I get the ND, breed a Ralts, and train it up to at least Lv50 (Battle Frontier). It's just an amazing Pokemon.
1.) Slowpoke--Come on; did you expect anything different?
Slowpoke has only been trained by me once--very recently in my SoulSilver as part of my party. It's now a Lv72 Slowking, in case you're wondering. Slowpoke is so adorable, its vacant expression is the very image of innocence and peace. I had half a mind to shout into the mic when Team Rocket was selling their tails for profit, and I wanted to punch the guy who wanted to sell one for 1,000,000 dollars (partly because of the injustice...partly because SlowpokeTails are worth WAY more than that). I just love them.
Legendary only--
6.) Articuno--I loved this bird in Kanto. It was always a fun (and difficult...ever so difficult) journey through the Seafoam Islands to get it. Plus, I once found it as a SHINY, completely coincidental! How cool is that? (Sadly, I deleted the game without migrating or anything...
)
5.) Celebi--AWW, it's adorable! Plus, a combination of my two favorite types goes for win.
4.) Jirachi--It's really cool and cute. The only thing that makes it higher than Celebi is that it's from my favorite region.
3.) Latios--Pokemon Ruby fanatics all agree: Latias FTL!
2.) Groudon--See above, replacing "Latias" with "Kyogre.
1.) Raikou--It's just SO COOL.
Nice topic, this has given me good reason to rant! Please read and everything, feel free to argue some of my points. ;D
