I know Sylveon is my pfp, but Espeon is my actual favorite. I started with the originals, so initially Eevee was something you only got one of if you didn't trade. That made it special, and of course it was cute as a button, so I always tried to get one regardless of the game. Needless to say, I was super excited to find out you could catch wild Eevee in Gold/Silver. So I caught one and was determined to try to raise its friendship to get one of the new evolutions. It just so happened to happen during the day, so I got Espeon. The friendship mechanic made an already special pokemon that much better. It helps that it has a great design and a cool type, too!

Oddish is my absolute favorite. It really embodies the, "I'm just doing my best out here" kind of vibe that I really resonate with. Otherwise, I think Flygon is a close second because of its excellent design.

“Oddish” is one of my favorite puns among the Pokémon names. It’s an odd radish. An oddish. Love it.

My favorites are Umbreon and mimikyu. I love their designs, I love their typing, I just love them. They're so edgy but also so adorable

[–] UngodlyAudrey 4 points 1 year ago

It's funny, if I had evolved my Eevee at night, Umbreon may have ended up becoming my favorite.

Mimikyu is the best Pokemon they've come up with in the last few gens. It's backstory is so heartbreaking, but it's trying sooooo hard to be loved!

Scizor, Houndoom, and Sharpedo are awesome, yo.

Zubat. And Sneasel. It's just so cute.

Gameplay-wise, probably Blissey or Clefable.

[–] Nyla_Smokeyface 2 points 1 year ago

YES SNEASEL IS AWESOME!!!! It is so cool (literally) and so cute!

[–] luciole 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Slowbro is my favorite. Slowbro is resilience through adversity. Slowbro evolved by drawing power from misfortune. Slowbro may be slow but Slowbro pulls through. Slowbro is a lesson in life. Special mention to Mega Slowbro.

Goodra! I love that it looks so cute, but also it’s a damn dragon slime monster! but then you get it’s hisuian form which is chef’s kiss Honestly I love that entire line, with the polygon line a close second!

[–] OneRedFox 4 points 1 year ago

My PLA save file has more Eevees and Hisuian Zoruas than I know what to do with.

Politoed! I’m a diehard Water guy and his design is so clean and adorable.

I don’t play much Pokémon nowadays, but I’ll always have a soft spot for my first starter Piplup.

[–] HowlsSophie 3 points 1 year ago

Favorite outside of original 150 is Gardevoir. Favorite OG is Dragonite.

Chikorita for me, grass and ice pokemon have always been my favorites

[–] GraceGH 3 points 1 year ago

I'll go with my favorite team, because there's no way I could ever just pick one.

Blaziken, who journeyed with me from ruby to pearl to white(shortly, i didn't actually play this one), to XY, they'll always have a place in my heart.

Then, Aron, Plusle and Minun, Sylveon, and Talonflame!

Honorable mentions to Mimikyu and Shuppet.

[–] Harmageddon 3 points 1 year ago

I know it's basic. But Charizard, ever since I was little.

Some other favorites though include Mawile, Haunter, Smeargle, Loudred.

And the whole Bulbasaur line is a masterpiece.

[–] Nyla_Smokeyface 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love Weavile and the Eeveelutions!!! The Eevees have been my favorites ever since I was a kid. I always loved dogs so they were an obvious pick for me and their designs are just fantastic. I especially love Umbreon. It is such a simple but great design and its shiny is stunning.

Weavile is a Pokemon that I began to love a few years ago. I just one day realized how cute and cool it was and fell in love with it.

[–] CinnamonTheCat 2 points 1 year ago

Sylveon! They give the best hugs and are good multitaskers!

[–] GrumpyGramps 2 points 1 year ago

Seviper, big doofy snek
