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.
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.
My PLA save file has more Eevees and Hisuian Zoruas than I know what to do with.
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
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!
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.
Cyndaquil (plus Quilava and Typhlosion) will always have a special place in my heart. I started with gen 1, but something about silver really grabbed me so Cyndaquil was really the first Pokemon I had an attachment to.
While Sword/Shield had a lot of flaws, they gave me Toxtricity, who rocks. Literally! Using Boomburst while he “strums” the “strings” on his chest and annihilates my enemies… He’s a new favorite of mine. Also I like to sing System of a Down’s “Toxicity” when I use him in battle which really aggravates anyone who happens to be around when I play
Scizor, Houndoom, and Sharpedo are awesome, yo.
Zubat. And Sneasel. It’s just so cute.
Gameplay-wise, probably Blissey or Clefable.
Politoed! I’m a diehard Water guy and his design is so clean and adorable.
