What is your favorite pokemon and why?

This is a difficult decision. Personally, Mewtwo has the closest to a backstory and plot, what with the psychological thriller plotline of being born a cloned genetic mutation. I mostly like the fuzzy cute ones, however, like the classic Pikachu, Vulpix or Mew, or the Eevee evolution family, or Poochyena. I haven't played much of Pokemon DS yet, but Pipplup is a penguin, like Delibird. Lucario looks kind of neat, too.

Are we talking about the game or the animation? If the former, I always go for style and power. There's nothing more impressive and satisfying than your beautiful and strong pokemon showing up on your opponents' screen. My favorites are Altaria, Milotic and Nine tails. Aesthetic wise they are pretty amazing. And damn hard to kill too if you're fighting them. On the anime my favorites are the classic trio. Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. It makes me remember my first game, pokemon blue.

Mine is Ho-Oh. Because it's one of rare pokemon. But I think ditto is awsome too, as long as it has high level.

my favorite are the psychic-type pokemons....... they are all powerful and hard to defeat.

My favorite Pokemon is Piplup. I like it because it looks like a penguin and I love penguins. I also like Bulbasaur.

darkrai, one of the newer legendaries. hes just so BA; giving nightmares to people...

My favorite is the old school Starmie!!! Starmie can learn a high variety of attacks that include: Fire Blast, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Surf, Psychic, Recover, Shadow Ball, Minimize, Light Screen. With 2-3 Starmies in your party there is pretty much no possible way you could lose. Your Starmie will be have super effective attacks against: Water, Fire, Ground, Rock, Flying, Psychic, Fighting, Grass, Poison, Steel, Ghost. The only pokemon you probably won't be able to 1-hit is Normal, Psychic and Dark Types.

I love Charizard and Blaziken. Both are really tough and strong and know how to put up a fight until the end. They may be stubborn and not always obey their leader, but deep in their hearts they love their trainers and would like to obey them (I think they just do that cuz they're proud).

My favourite has to be Finneon. I just love the way the sprite is put together and the way it looks. Also, when it evolves into Lumineon it has awesome movesets. Another favourite is togepi, and the reason being.... ITS AN EGG!

I personally like sn0rlax, either in person or in games having the old scho0l road bl0cking belly pokemon in y0ur team is pretty useful. It also has a decent hp wich makes it very hard to defeat a curselax can handle a team just fine.
