What's your favorite pokemon?

Mine is Lapras it's so cute, and please no mudkip jokes... Too much time in the chatboard does some things to your mind...

My favorite was always Jolteon.  It has great speed and learns all the essential electric attacks and pin missle as well, making it a strong opponent to psychic Pokemon.

Chimeco.  I trained mine to be a beast and when I fought with friends, they would be overconfident because it looked harmless

Glalie. Other than it being very hard to get, and that it's epic looks strike fear into your very soul, it is an excellent combination of ice and dark. It learns many Powerful moves like crunch and sheer cold. It can also be taught a variety of moves like earthquake and shadow ball. It has uber Special attack, attack, and speed. It pwns ice, flying, dragon, ghost, dark, grass, and ground. It's super effective against 3 of the 5 of the Pokemon league in R, S and E, too.

Joteon is kewl, Chimeco... Not so much... And they just had to give it a pre evolve form... Nothing against The thing tho. I like Lapras cause of it's kick butt stats, and ability to learn Sheer Cold. I taught it Thunder too. Arrgh another post, Glalie is just too hard to find to be useful, not saying Lapras isn't, But Lapras has only one bad stat and it's speed and it's still over 130 at level 100. Also what good is Milotic?

As far as my favorite pokemon goes, I have to say Duskull. He looks like a little grim reaper, and it makes me smile. I like ghost pokemon to begin with, so there you go. His two evolutions make me cringe, however.

"Too rare to be useful"? What's that supposed to mean? All pokemon are useful, doesn't matter how rare they are. You're not talking about their real useful abilities when you say they're rare, are you?

Mine... I'm not sure...

Okay, so my favourite forever has been Arcanine- I love him in Red and Blue and stuff. I also liked Meowth, but... he's not as cool now.

Then pokemon Diamond came out and I said, "blargh, these pokemon suck."

...However, I've taken to loving Luxio and Skuntank like they are my children. Luxray isn't that cool, in my opinion.

I've always had a big liking for Growlithe. I dunno, maybe I think he's CUTER than Arcanine (Fisk >.>) but he always seemed to do well for me. Also liked...I think Flareon was my favorite Eevolution.

Snorlax just wins.

You trying to say a level 2 magikarp could be helpful? And i'm saying that it's too rare to be useful like you can't find it if you want to.

Lots of pokemon are rare or frustratingly rare, but that makes them all the more coveted. That they're useful in battle is the point, rarity doesn't matter when it comes to finding the right pokemon, it just takes patience.

Every pokemon (Aside from magikarp that is...) has a use and specialty. You just have to train it properly with the right moveset. You'd be surprised at the movesets people have given to rare and common pokemon alike to make them extremely useful in given situations.

My favorite Pokemon? Oddish. It's just that adorable.

Agreed.

I often fill up a sixth slot on my team for a normal swiss-army-knife type pokemon. Teach them flamethrower, ice beam, thunderbolt, and a move that works well for them- slash, mega punch, etc.

My Skuntank knows Toxic (poison), Night Slash (dark), Flamethrower (fire) and Earthquake (ground), working effectively to take down varied types, or just being a pain in the butt.

I used to absolutely adore Pikachu back when Pokemon cards and the show were all the rage at school, but after actually playing a few of the games... I don't know. I really like Charizard since I have such fond memories of raising him from a Charmander and then beating the crap out of any opponent that dared challenge me, but then my copy of "Blue" erased itself and my progress.

[The Glamour Nazi]

I like Raichu better than pikachu. I have a very balanced team, It is: Lapras, Pidgeot, Luxray, Torterra, Rapidash, and a filler pokemon, Usually my Gengar, But i'm training a togepi to Togekiss for a Para-Flincher.
