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

Death to America

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.

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

Let me tell you about the Pikachu evolution line, then you'll know three Pokémon!

Pikachu evolves from Pichu:

And Pikachu itself can evolve into Raichu (though Ash's Pikachu refused to evolve when given that option):

The Pokémon world has different regions, and some Pokémon look different if they evolve in a particular region. This is Alolan Raichu, the form that Raichu takes if it evolved in the Alola region:

Pichu actually was added later than Pikachu and Raichu, the very first games (Generation 1) only had Pikachu and Raichu, then Generation 2 added Pichu

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.

Dream team 🥰

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sylveon.

End of discussion. Close thread.

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, the transgender Eeveelution cat-trans

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Wigglytuff is up there for me

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

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

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.

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

[–] CarbonConscious@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years 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 6 points 2 years ago

This is Jolteon slander rage-cry
