Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon!

Part 2 - Favorite Pokemon Cont.

Continuing on from our last Pokemon discussion (yes, there will be multiple I'm sure as Pokemon is one of my favorite series of all time)! I am listing off my favorite Pokemon, so if you didn't read my last post about Pokemon (Part 1), please go read it here!

We are getting down to the wire here on Pokemon. The rest of them are still very high up in my eyes, but not the ones I have stuffed animals of like with the last eight. Here we go!

Number nine goes to Gyarados. He's one of my favorites (ignore what I just said above apparently) and one of my first shinies (ha ha, he's everyone's first shiny thanks to Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal)! I also loved the anime episode where Gyarados is a total badass and evolves after being kicked by James on that raft - then he whips up a storm with his buddies and causes total havoc! Any art I see of him always looks super cool too. He's also always one of my first strongest Pokemon on my team (after the hassle of evolving him).

Groudon is my number ten pick. Seeing him after the AMAZING generation three opening was always so exciting to me. How the lines on his body glowed blue, the intense music you get while battling him, thinking about him erupting from the ground and getting rid of all the water on earth...like holy crap this is one strong Pokemon! Sure, he's not the best in battle and has a ton of weaknesses, but I always found it fascinating that he could learn like Fire Blast. I always taught mine that (even though Groudon sucks at Special Attack), because thinking about seeing it was just too much to handle for a ten-year old me.

Next up is Toxicroak. He's my favorite generation four Pokemon, probably tied with Weaville (who couldn't make it on this list)! I had a hacked shiny Toxicroak who I named Bubblegum because she was pink and light blue - the shiny is just too cute to not cheat for! Thanks Action Replay! Generation four is probably my least favorite as I didn't find the story or environments that interesting (remember the super long cave before the super long snowy route...UGH), but Toxicroak made it more enjoyable for me.

At spot twelve I have Virizion, my final favorite Legendary. I will be honest here, I hate the other two forms this Pokemon comes paired with. But, for me to like a Grass type is pretty rare. I think Virizion is super cute and her typing was just super cool to me: Grass and Fighting. I like most deer Pokemon too and always thought she looked like an adult form of the deer Pokemon of generation five, Deerling or Sawsbuck. Thinking about a bunch of them flocking together around the water makes me think of a Studio Ghibli movie, and how cool is that? I like Xerneas for the same reason! Also, I still call the Pokemon Verizon, which is just darn funny.

Spot thirteen belongs to Mandibuzz, another generation five Pokemon. Also, a Pokemon I have never used as I had Pokemon White, not Black, where the Pokemon was exclusively found in. I could have traded my sister, but I was too busy using Braviary (who I nicknamed America I'm pretty sure). Her typing isn't the best, but Mandibuzz's design is so cool. I like her caveman-esc look, as it was a new idea for Pokemon.

My next choice is Haunter, the final generation one Pokemon on my list. Why not Gengar you may ask? Well, there is a little story behind this one. My older sister used a Gengar, I got a Haunter and my little sister had a Gastly. It was like the three sisters. So, this Pokemon always holds a place in my heart. Haunter, as it is a Pokemon that evolves through trade, isn't that bad either. I felt bad for my little sister who got stuck using a Gastly!

Fifteen (my favorite number, so lucky you) is Bisharp. Man, all the generation five Pokemon are popping up last, sorry guys! Bisharp is another badass-looking Pokemon! My little sister always laughed at the animation for its devolved form,Pawniard because it like took a second every few frames to stab in the air at its invisible foe (or real one). Bisharp was a Pokemon I used in my first playthrough of Pokemon White and he was pretty good. Just keep him away from fighting types!

Number sixteen belongs to Escavalier. Another generation five Pokemon and another one I used in my first run of the game. He was very good and I like his medieval-esc design, its different just like with Mandibuzz's! Don't have much else to say about this guy besides that.

Lastly, my favorite Normal type is Pyroar. Litleo is super cute and I like that the main bad guy of generation six uses a Pokemon that looks exactly like his hairdo. I honestly don't like a lot of Normal Pokemon, so this one barely made it. I love the differences between the female and male, unlike with Unfezant, where they made the female super boring in comparison to the male. I haven't used this Pokemon either.

So, you may be thinking - glimmer, a lot of your favorites you have never used. Alright you got me! I'm much more of a casual Pokemon player than a hardcore one! But, trust me, I know everything about Pokemon (maybe go easy on the quiz questions about the competitive scene, okay?)!

What are your favorite Pokemon? I'd love to hear! Remember to take the quiz and feel free to post yours in the comment section of my blog! Thanks for reading and come back soon to start reading about my Least Favorite Pokemon!
