Everybody has a favorite Pokémon/Evolutionary line. Who's yours, and why?

Mine has to be Totodile! I love the whole evolutionary line, but Totodile is hands-down my favorite Pokémon. My first ever Pokémon games was a copy of Pokémon Gold with a broken internal battery; it couldn't store save data. On long road trips, my sister and I would pack the GameBoy Colour and Pokémon Gold. We would pass the GameBoy back and forth between stops, getting as far as we could before we had to turn off the GameBoy. Whenever we inevitably had to restart and pick our starter again, Totodile was always my choice. I've got lots of great memories from that game, even if we could never save our progress.

Who's your favorite Pokémon, and what's the story behind it? First starter, clutch battler, best design?

Favorite Pokemon is by far Rowlet. It's just so round and cute! It was an instant hit for me when the Alolan starters were revealed and at this point I've spent thousands of hours with my first Rowlet/Decidueye using it for SOS chaining.

Solid choice! Rowlet and co. is probably my favorite of the S/M/US/UM starter lines. Popplio is a veeeeery close second. Litten was in a very strong position when the starters was announced. Of the Basic Stage starters, Litten is probably my favorite. Torracat is alright. I can't stand Incineroar. I understand it's inspirations and think the design is objectively well executed, I just... I got myself too excited for a good fire cat, and Incineroar fell short of my expectations, lol.
