My favourite Pokémon is Vaporeon, of course. I also like Eevee and all the other Eeveelutions.

Pikachu shocking Ash with electricity and refusing to go in the Pokéball was cool. Little electric-type comrade defending his freedom. pika-pickaxe

Hitmonchan. There are Pokemon that are basically deities, with powers to control every element, able to use psychic power to manipulate your thoughts, and here we got bro that's just like square up. I respect him. Got some literal legendary beast from time immemorial, worshipped as a god in some cultures, able to turn you to ash in single movement, and Hitmonchan is just like let's fucking duke it out.

Fighting type for life. I ain't gotta think about shit let's just throw hands. Coincidentally, this is also why I always choose warriors/barbarians/melee types in any game or campaign.

Hitmonchan is ine of those Pokémon that is clearly just a guy

pikachu. I don't know any other pokemon

[–] geese_feces@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Breloom because Spore and Focus Punch is a good move combo, plus Leech Seed is always awesome.
Aegislash because Steel/Ghost is an interesting type with lots of resistances.
Alolan Dugtrio because its hair is gorgeous.

[–] reddit@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Fellow Breloom fan!

[–] Verenata@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Banette, Furret, Magearna, Gourgeist, Mismagius, Milotic

In that order, but in Gen 9 I'm using grass starter cat in place of Gourgeist cos she's cracked.

I like Porygon so much I wrote a fanfic about it (with not-very-subtle anti-capitalist themes)

[–] piccolo@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

"anticapitalist pokemon fanfic" is a set of 3 words describing something I didn't know I needed until becoming aware of its existence

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have read your fanfic, it's good! meow-floppy

Porygon is one of my favourites, too, and it's sad that I can't watch it in the anime because of that one incident...

Its ears remind me of Eevee so much, but it's not an Eeveelution...

Torterra and Ampharos. I wish to live upon a wandering hillock with my pet lighthouse sheep.

Sylveon.

End of discussion. Close thread.

Ah yes, the transgender Eeveelution cat-trans

garchomp, moltres and scizor, my GOATS who beat the battle factory

[–] FishLake@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of older Pokémon, Tangela. They’re just lil viney guys with boots.

Of newer Pokémon, Charjabug. I didn’t know about it until like a year ago. It’s like a battery that’s made of a bug.

Blastoise! Idk why exactly, he's just a big-fun-boi with silly water cannons and he rarely gets featured in anything, so it's always exciting to find merch or w/e with him on there.

I like Snorlax. Big momma just wants to sleep.

Dunsparce is my baby. It even replaces my starters in gen 2 (and I like the starters in Gen 2).

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

So many answers, I can't reply to everyone anymore, but all your Pokémon choices are great

[–] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Vulpix, Ninetails, Fennekin, Braixen, Delphox
I like fire foxes

[–] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Either Flareon or Sylveon, but honestly Eevee and the evolution as a whole (minus Jolteon) are all also up there in my rankings.

[–] Aquilae@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

This is Jolteon slander rage-cry

Decidueye is cool, I just wish they'd give it a buff so I could use it competitively deeper-sadness

Otherwise I like Venusaur, Espeon, Raichu, Dragonite, Feraligatr, Blaziken... Zoroarks illusion ability has won me so many battles on Showdown lol

I like too many cringe

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of course you like the owl Pokémon (Decidueye, evolved form of Rowlet)! owl-wink

Otherwise I like Venusaur, Espeon, Raichu, Dragonite, Feraligatr, Blaziken... Zoroark

GOOD choices (no such thing as liking too many Pokémon)

Thoughts on Hoothoot / Noctowl?

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hoothoot is perfect and I love them, Noctowl is great too like Decidueye I wish they were more viable for online but oh well. They'll make a buff owl Pokemon one day

I think I like Totodile. He is just a happy lil bloke. Also grimer. I feel like grimer most of the time.
