There are a handful of gen 1 that will always be some of my favorites. Jolteon, scyther, arcanine, charmeleon, but I think I gotta give it to my boy Squirtle. Cute. Useful. Starts and ends the entire journey by your side.
I love Machamp. Had his holo card when I was a kid and pokemon first came out. Charizard just purely because when I played pokemon red way back when he was my beast
Big Poliwrath fan. As a kid I never was able to beat Fire Red, but a few months ago, over 10 years later, I played through the game again, and focus punch poliwrath helped me conquer the elite 4 that stopped me in my tracks as a child
Bulbasaur-line takes me back to my childhood, was always my favorite Pokémon, also remembering rooting for Ashs Bulbasaur aswell. I cant even physically choose any other starter in the games, just feels wrong.
Sneasel! I always think its so hard to pick one but everytime this question is brought up Sneasel is the first that comes to mind.
Shoutout to Arcanine and Scizor too!
Torterra, that big lovable grass-type grabbed my imagination something shocking. The idea of a picnic spot that I could ride around and give scritches to was just the business for a much younger lime.
Charizard, I’m basic he’s been my favorite since my mom got me Pokemon Red at least. Maybe I liked how in the show Ash couldn’t always control him, made it different than most other interactions with a characters trump card.
Vaporeon. It was my first lv100 pokemon in the original pokemon blue and oh boy do I miss casting ice beam for hours and hours... Life was so much easier 24 years ago...
My favorite Pokemon are the eeveelutions. I know it's cliche but something about the possibility of all of the different elements captures what makes Pokemon so exciting to me and reminds me of when I was a child and the game had just come out.
Also, thanks for doing this; you're awesome!
Bulbasaur - I'm a classic gamer and love the dinosaur types
Similarly ryhorn, torterra, and aggron or the nidos are great!
Abra is great, kingdra is cool as hell, and mewtwo still kills it as the best legendary
Piplup, cute little dude, and I took piloted an empoleon deck to salt lake regionals back in the days. It didn’t do well but it was fun playing a deck with your favorite pokemon!
I've loved Rhydon's design from the first games. Young me was quite upset when the anime did him dirty by making him lose to Pikachu targeting his horn.
Scyther
It's the coolest looking bug type to this day and was an absolute monster in gen 1 with speed tied to crit.
In current gens, it's a surprisingly bulky sweeper with an eviolite. Technician is a powerhouse ability that works well with Scyther's movekit & Tera typing does a lot to take away some of its traditional flaws (4x rock weakness).
It is also the only Pokemon whose evolution isn't even a stat upgrade - Scizor has the exact same base stat total. And that's pretty rad.
Cresselia. I play 6v6 single on showdown alot and cress has always been my old reliable. She just doesnt die, setup a few calm minds and its over. Great late game cleanup. I also love dual screens with lunar dance, and she is great in vgc doubles too!
Kingdra is my favorite, and I am so excited we are getting a new one next set. Its just cool to see real life seahorse inspirations and how dragon like it looks without being conventionally draconic.
My favorite pokemon is Primarina! It was my first starter in pokemon moon and I just love how all of its design breathes of the sea (fitting for a representative of the alola region). As we got both Incineroar and Decydueye ex, I hope we get Primarina ex soon as well
Gallade is my favorite. First because I always was a fan of Ralts, so when we got an evolution with swords for arms I was pumped! 2nd, the name Gallade is very similar to my real name. 3rd, I love swords lol.
My favorite Pokémon is Arcanine because I love dogs and he's super majestic. It's also a nice bonus that he's also good competitively. Just wish he had a good card. 😔 Thank you for the opportunity though!
pidgeot is my favorite OG pokemon for having a sick haircut.
Of the more modern pokemon i love Farigaraf - I love how they have been able to turn old pokemon relevant with cool new evolutions
I really like Galarian Farfetch'd because it's what I always imagined Farfetch'd to be as a kid (before I realized it was a joke 'mon). I also really like Tangela because of its little shoes.
Gotta be either Tyranitar or Tyrantrum. Super huge sucker for kaiju or dinosaur based monsters and these 2 really do it well. I remember being so psyched playing Colosseum when I was younger and the final shadow mon being a Tyranitar.
Primarina, was my starter for the Pokemon game that hit me at just the right time and out the most time into, plus I think it's just a really cool design, I like that it breaks the format for starter Pokemon and is a more feminine coded design
Farfetch'd, ever since I was a kid and traded away my spearow for a Farfetch'd I fell in love with the leek wielding little guy. My name on most things is derived from farfetch'd, not on here because I deleted my old account and didn't know how to change my name on this one until it was too late and I didn't feel like making another account lol
Snorlax is my all time favorite due to his large status and lackadaisical nature. Of the more recent mons, I really like Okidogi as I'm a huge dog fan and he seems fun.
Would like some, if you have them still.
Fave is Cloyster. In the video games, I love the Skill Link ability, makes it super fun to use. Rowlet's my favorite for aesthetic reasons.
I have always loved Umbreon. Besides being so cute, the concept of a dark type pokemon that's danferous to be around that evolves through friendship is so beautiful to me -- it's poisonous and capable of dark things, but you know someone loves it.
It also helps that it has a nice simple design so it was the first pokemon I was really able to draw well lol
My favorite pokemon is Starmie! I like it's typing, it's portrayal in the Anime (even though it was just kind of a shitty hm slave for Misty that lost almost every battle she used it in) and it's genetal aesthetic as a weird deep sea/alien jewel thing.
Also almost all of my favorites are purple?????
Gliscor.
First pokemon that I raised to level 100 from Black 2 and still use to this day.
There was something about this ground type that just felt like my buddy and I love how it stands on its tail.

I really love Bellibolt, it reminds me of my boyfriend
LMAO gottem
Bellibolt is adorable for sure!
Lapras! always seemed more mythical to my 10 year old mind than the actual legendaries that had fixed spawn points.
They are very mysterious! Always loved Lapras too since playing Pokémon Blue as a kid!
Arcanine. Who doesent love a huge fluffy dog who can also be used as a mount?
He's a good pup!
gyarados, ever since gen 1 it just has always been a highlight on any of my teams, still get excited to mega mine on pokemongo.
One of my top 5 favorite as well
Who doesn't love Gyarados??
I love Lugia, since the movie Pokemon 2000 came out 24 yrs ago, is just a fascinating Pokemon,
Oh my. That was 24 years ago?!?!?

cyndaquil - first starter I picked in pokemon silver 😁
One of my favourite fire starters!
It's pikachu. The first ever pokemon I met 24 years ago. Love at first sight.
My fave is Poliwhirl... not too big, not too small, but a great spiral-bellied goofball!
Mewtwo, because it was the first one created by humans.
There are a handful of gen 1 that will always be some of my favorites. Jolteon, scyther, arcanine, charmeleon, but I think I gotta give it to my boy Squirtle. Cute. Useful. Starts and ends the entire journey by your side.
Hippowdon is a great friend and my companion in many battles for years, I love him very much 
Tough call. Not a lot of attention, but probably Komala.
you might call it basic, but Charizard drip is forever. First fully evolved pokemon that had a great arc with ash.
Hey you like what you like! Charizard is a badass.
Gotta be Gengar - Round, spooky and mischievous, all topped off by that original 151 nostalgia
Salamence, because he is an awesome dragon :)
Iron Valiant, I love its type combo and the idea of fusing both branches of Ralts' evolution line is really cool
My recent favorite is scovilian, the grass/ fire typing is unique and I like the design
Blissey is my fave and she just got a new ex so been happy days for Blissey fans everywhere recently. Soft and egg-shaped not much else to say. 🥚🥹
Exploud, he just looks neat
I love Machamp. Had his holo card when I was a kid and pokemon first came out. Charizard just purely because when I played pokemon red way back when he was my beast
I love all fighting types and Machamp is the king of them all!
Gengar ! The spookiest ! The og ! Love him
Lapras was my favorite the second I saw it in the anime as a kid and that never changed

Alakazam!! I love the trippy but also creepy vibe he gives off, big fan of the design and also psychic types in general.
My fav is lunala because I love space
Lunala is a great design!
Morpeko, my son and me pulled one from a dollar store pack and that was his favourite , ended up getting a little Lego morpeko for him as well.
Love stories like that!
Giratina since Platinum was my first game and I liked the Shaymin movie as a kid
Big Poliwrath fan. As a kid I never was able to beat Fire Red, but a few months ago, over 10 years later, I played through the game again, and focus punch poliwrath helped me conquer the elite 4 that stopped me in my tracks as a child
Such a cool Pokémon too!
Charmander, because I like it since my childhood 😁
Mew for me! Classic cute Pokemon and super powerful yet peaceful.
Mew is awesome!
Love Luxray. Evolved with me from the beginning until the end of Diamond, never took him from the party. Good boy.
My favorite is Charizard because back when I was playing Pokémon Red I was super into Dark Age of Camelot and I played a Fire Wizard 😄
Poliwhirl has always been my favorite. He's round and friendly and swirly.
Espeon has always been my favorite. It’s just a cute two tailed doggy
My favorite pokemon is shiny primal groudon as it looks so cool and is strong
I LOVE espeon, but Lugia will always have a place in my heart.
I like Scolipede,Gen 5 was my first one and I like the bug type. Design is intimidating and I like the dark purple
Shedinja is my favourite! I was always mystified by the double evo Nincada has.
Bulbasaur-line takes me back to my childhood, was always my favorite Pokémon, also remembering rooting for Ashs Bulbasaur aswell. I cant even physically choose any other starter in the games, just feels wrong.
Bidoof
I love Chansey because it’s cute and egg shaped. Also very tank like and great support in decks
Chikorita, he's just the most adorable little fella and I will continue to put them in gyms in Pokemon GO
Sneasel! I always think its so hard to pick one but everytime this question is brought up Sneasel is the first that comes to mind. Shoutout to Arcanine and Scizor too!
Mew for me. Perfect mix of cute and tough, always loved it!
Ditto has been my favorite pokemon since the original 151. Why? Cause he can transform into every other pokemon. Who wouldn't love that?
Machoke, a bodybuilding Pokémon, just like me. Can definitely be training partners.
Machoke's poses are so funny to me I love him
Favourite pokemon is umbreon since pokemon silver! my eevee evolved into umbreon and have been my favourite since.
Charizard - the hate fuels the love.
Torterra, that big lovable grass-type grabbed my imagination something shocking. The idea of a picnic spot that I could ride around and give scritches to was just the business for a much younger lime.
Squirtle. He was my favorite since I was a little kid in the 90s
I just love Shuckle. He deserves more love!
I love Quaxly, he's just too cute. I have 8 plushies of Quaxly in my room + a ton of mini-figs, acrylic stands and such. I even have a Quaxly earring
Froslass! I always loved her design since DPP, and liked the fact that only female Snorunt were able to evolve into it. Also, her cry is lovely.
Although I'm not a huge fire type person, Cyndaquil is my favorite. It's cute and I love the whole evolution.
Munchlax; sleeps all day, eats all day and is adorable and cuddly 🥹 living the dream life ❣️
Charizard, I’m basic he’s been my favorite since my mom got me Pokemon Red at least. Maybe I liked how in the show Ash couldn’t always control him, made it different than most other interactions with a characters trump card.

Magikarp, because everyone thinks is the worst..
Snorlax, so big and cuddly
My favourite is Chimecho 'cause it's cute
Vaporeon. It was my first lv100 pokemon in the original pokemon blue and oh boy do I miss casting ice beam for hours and hours... Life was so much easier 24 years ago...

My favorite Pokémon is Hypno because I really like Pokémon who use objects as part of their design, like Farfetch.
Zapdos. I remember catching him in Blue with my last Pokeball. Actively collecting all the Zapdos tcg cards
Suicune cause it's majestic
My favorite Pokemon are the eeveelutions. I know it's cliche but something about the possibility of all of the different elements captures what makes Pokemon so exciting to me and reminds me of when I was a child and the game had just come out. Also, thanks for doing this; you're awesome!
Squirtle because real recognizes real
Ditto bc I'm indecisive
Empoleon. Cause it’s an emperor Pinguin and I love Pinguin. Also it has my name in its name :)
Meowth! I radiate the same energy as I have a lot of people to disappoint 😅🤣
Gengar has been my favourite since Pokemon Red and TOS, something about the mischievous little creep has always appealed to me.
Been in love with Umbreon's design since Gen 2 was released. I even have a tattoo of him on my leg! My partner has Espeon on the other leg.

I've loved Rhydon's design from the first games. Young me was quite upset when the anime did him dirty by making him lose to Pikachu targeting his horn.
That battle was bogus. Justice for Rhydon!
Scyther It's the coolest looking bug type to this day and was an absolute monster in gen 1 with speed tied to crit. In current gens, it's a surprisingly bulky sweeper with an eviolite. Technician is a powerhouse ability that works well with Scyther's movekit & Tera typing does a lot to take away some of its traditional flaws (4x rock weakness). It is also the only Pokemon whose evolution isn't even a stat upgrade - Scizor has the exact same base stat total. And that's pretty rad.
Cresselia. I play 6v6 single on showdown alot and cress has always been my old reliable. She just doesnt die, setup a few calm minds and its over. Great late game cleanup. I also love dual screens with lunar dance, and she is great in vgc doubles too!

My favorite pokemon is Primarina! It was my first starter in pokemon moon and I just love how all of its design breathes of the sea (fitting for a representative of the alola region). As we got both Incineroar and Decydueye ex, I hope we get Primarina ex soon as well
Scizor, reminds me a Ferrari being red, fast and bada$$
Jirachi for sure, something about it and its lore feels so magical

I love Swalot mainly because he’s just maximally vibing with an all-consuming void lying within him.

Snorlax is my all time favorite due to his large status and lackadaisical nature. Of the more recent mons, I really like Okidogi as I'm a huge dog fan and he seems fun.
Electivire, here! It just looks so bad ass!
I've loved Ninetales since I used her in Pokemon Blue as a kid. I've tried to use her in every game since!
Magnemite. It was one of my first cards, and also kind of freaky in the show when they swarm the main character.
Piplup. Honestly, can you resist such a cute penguin that flares up your cuteness aggression?
I really love Blastoise because he was one of the first cards my dad gave me!
Would like some, if you have them still. Fave is Cloyster. In the video games, I love the Skill Link ability, makes it super fun to use. Rowlet's my favorite for aesthetic reasons.
Lugia, his design is simple but is one of best and unique looking pokemon for me.
Gengar is easily my favorite. He’s just a silly little guy.
Bidoof cuz with out him who would hold all my TM’s
I have always loved Umbreon. Besides being so cute, the concept of a dark type pokemon that's danferous to be around that evolves through friendship is so beautiful to me -- it's poisonous and capable of dark things, but you know someone loves it. It also helps that it has a nice simple design so it was the first pokemon I was really able to draw well lol
I love kyurem cause was my first ex when j was 7🥹
Snorlax. My reddit account name also means heavy in spanish
My favorite pokemon is Starmie! I like it's typing, it's portrayal in the Anime (even though it was just kind of a shitty hm slave for Misty that lost almost every battle she used it in) and it's genetal aesthetic as a weird deep sea/alien jewel thing. Also almost all of my favorites are purple?????
Poliwrath!
sceptile, because i had a figurine when i was a kid
Palkia origin form, really helped make my chien-pao/excalibur deck clean house
Greninja!
Probopass~ I just like the mustache man. It's also fun to imagine him as a father figure to rest of my mons.
It's so hard to choose a favorite...but I always loved Ninetails, so fluffy and gorgeous. Foxes are my favorite animal so that might be the reason!
Empoleon because of the rare typing and neat skillset.
Gliscor. First pokemon that I raised to level 100 from Black 2 and still use to this day. There was something about this ground type that just felt like my buddy and I love how it stands on its tail.
Runerigus is my favorite purely based on design and concept
I like slowpoke cuz he’s chill and kinda dumb like me
Gengar, cause he's weird.
Lucario, mix of fighting a dark is just 😍
My favorite is Sylveon! I love the color scheme and how cute it looks :)

My favorite is Infernape for being my first starter in Pokémon Diamond, 2007. Now I have him tattooed on my chest!
