10. Liepard - idk i have a thing for cats, cuz im not allowed to have any at home -___---- also this thing helped me a lot during vgc'13, i just love the support it provides
9. Breloom - when i was a kid and i was playing a gen 3 game for the first time, id basically catch anything that showed up, and this mon's evolution was the one which surprised me the most (in a good way ofc). like, i was expecting some lame bigger shroom and i was already considering leaving it in the pc for the rest of the journey but holy... instead i was given a motherfucking fighting-shroom, with an extremely good design and concept imo. competitively, i really enjoy using breloom, especially in doubles
8. Sneasel - during gen 2 this was probably the pokemon which captivated me the most. i love its fast, yet somewhat elegant pose, not to mention that its evolution is extremely good competitvely. hell, even sneasel is good in lower tiers, if you give it the right usage
7. Marill - BEST GEN 3 HM SLAVE HANDS DOWN, I NEVER DID A RUBY/SAPPHIRE/EMERALD RUN WITHOUT HAVING A MARILL/AZUMARILL, EVEN IF IT WAS JUST AS AN HM SLAVE AND IM NOT PLANNING TO STOP IN ORAS, SO THEY BETTER FUCKING MAKE IT AVAILABLE DURING EARLY GAME
6. Victini - HNNNNG KAWAII PIECE OF SHIT - but srsly tho first time i saw victini i was like OMFG HOW COULD THEY MAKE SOMETHING SO FREAKING ADORABLE LOL - and it INSTANTLY became my top 1 favorite cute generic base 100 legendary thing. i love using it in battle too, spamming v-creates all day with dat scarf
5. Umbreon - best. eeveelution. ever. i mean, seriously, its design is so freaking simple yet so good. a black dog with yellow rings all over it - love using it competitvely, it provides amazing cleric support
4. Latios - very VERY cool design, i really love the lati-twins, mainly because the heroes movie was the first movie i ever watched and latios' role in the movie was so sad, but so good. seriously the feels, im not gonna spoil anything about it (you probably already watched it anyway) - competitively its incredibly good, hits like a freaking truck with lo/specs and its mega is gonna be even better with mixed dd
3. Latias - IF I LIKE LATIOS, THEN I EVEN LOVE LATIAS EVEN MORE - the role in the movie IS EVEN MORE interesting than latios', simply for the fact that she always stayed so close to the main protagonist, and for what she did at the end - competitively, i like her better than latios too, just because its bulkier in general, and hits almost as hard
2. Absol - this had always been my favorite pokemon ever (until gen 5 and top 1. i.e.). the first time i saw one in ruby, i just knew I HAD to catch it. its design is really simple, cool, badass and awesome. ALSO I LOVE using mega absol in gen 6 UU, i know its frail, but my god is that thing powerful - i seriously cant even count the amount of times ive swept someone with it
1. Bisharp - EASILY the BEST (NOT TOO SIMPLE JUST A BIT COMPLEX) designed pokemon EVURR. I FREAKING LOVE BISHARP, i love its pose in battle, what its meant to do competitively, EVERY single thing about it. it better fucking get a mega sometime soon
