After writing this, I figured I should say up here, there are so many Pokemon that I have a very large list of my favorites, but the top three are the most important. Also, most of these are Pokemon I needed for some arbitrary task or just grabbed for my team and they turned out to be pretty sweet so I like them now, as such my reasons for liking them are largely composed of little stories about how I got to the first one
#1 Weavile, duh. I don't even remember why anymore, it's just so fricking epic
#2 Meloetta. Major Meloetta fangirl, if it is Meloetta related, I want it. As for why. I got the event at Gamestop whenever that was, instantly fell in love (No, seriously, Millie and I are getting married this Summer )
#3 Mismagius. Well, I couldn't use Madeline (my Mewtwo) without people complaining about her being overpowered, so I went and got the Pokemon with the highest Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense I could grab. Madison (my Mismagius) happened to fit the bill. She was also like the seventh egg I hatched or something, had four perfect IVs and a 30 in Special Attack, after going through fifteen or twenty I went back and looked through what I had and realized she had that spread. And I've just grown to like Mismagius more and more since that (And Maddy 2.0 is equally overpowered as Maddy was BTW, so take that haters!) Battle video showcasing Madison's epicness: EDQW-WWWW-WWW5-PCDJ
Oh wow, that was long >_< Guess what, Ima keep going
#4 Absol. Basically, I bred one to be my new lead (Pokebank wasn't out and I didn't want to do another Espeon since I had one to transfer) And she is just so epic I cannot help but like her (even if mega Absol could be so much better) Battle vid for Abeloth's epicness: 9KBG-WWWW-WWW5-KZ9N
#5 Scizor. Way back in Pearl I needed a Scizor for my dex, well, I got a French Scyther off GTS and it turned out to be pretty tough, got even tougher after evolving and ended up being my team's main physical attacker (with bad EV spread and Swarm no less) Even better, upon transfer to Y, she got her name reverted to French and her ability swapped to Technician (Cizayox is very dear to me <3 ) And then I got my beautiful 6IV Natalie in Y <3
#6 Tropius. This one. Just wow. I was using one as an HM slave in Platinum, and I sent it out against an E4 member during one of my battles, all it did was use Fly repeatedly and it managed to take out two of that members Pokemon. And it was level 30 or so. I still have no clue how it did that, but I love it
#7 Meganium. Eh, I just like this one a lot. Don't even know how it surpassed my old favorite Gen II starter, Typhlosion, but somehow it did. Charles is a great Toxistaller/surprise sweeper sometimes, but mostly he's just dead weight
#8 Inkay. It's a cute pink squid that flips upside down and evolves into a malicious squid of death, how could I not love it? (370... Sigh, where is my shiny Blubber?)
#9 Shedinja. Crack on its back steals your soul. Final gambit. Sturdy. Hilarity everywhere. Yes
#10 Tyranitar. Got a Pupitar of Wonder Trade for my mono Dark type run through Y (I was allowing things who's final evo was Dark) Poopitar got me through to the E4 and evolved right near the end of Victory Road. Her loyalty deserves her species a spot on my favorites list
#?? Haunter. Had one early on in Yellow, loved it to death. It hasd to go on my favorites list somewhere, even if I don't actually know where
Yeah... Ima stop now. My favorites encompass about 8% of all current Pokemon... Top ten list and Haunter, yay
(And if you were crazy enough to read all that, congratulations, you've won a prize: You don't have to do it again)
