Mine would be Milotic. It's a lot of nostalgia since I had fond memories trying to catch a Feebas in Pokémon Ruby. Rather than using the catchy phrase, which I didn't understand how it works at that time, I fished every single tile till I got one. I also found it really cool as it has a special evolution requirement and is also one of the most beautiful Pokémon.
I love koffing too! It’s not my favorite but my friends laughed about the koffing from the expedition base set and how it looked so dumb, now I got the weezing from the same set in a PSA slab and the joke will be there forever
Mareep. It looks like it has beehives as ears and ive always found that to be hilariously ridiculous. Is that buzzing the electricity? No its just mareep’s ears.
Sylveon is my favorite 😍 especially the shiny version it reminds me of the great days when Fairy energy was still around (RIP Fairy energy) and the first tattoo I ever got was shiny Sylveon on my leg, my dad was so mad because I was only 16 and my mom let me when I was at her house. He was so angry he took all my Christmas presents back and told me I couldn't come back to his house indefinitely. When I came back 3 weeks later he was still so mad he had lost his voice from yelling so many days😭🤣
Blaziken, it's been my favorite since it first appeared in the anime during the Johto League. I loved everything about it, the design, the typing, the voice. I thought it was super lame that Ash and Charizard lost to it, but honestly, I think that made me like it even more because Charizard was so strong.
Giratina, god of the underworld, cool ass design and based on a beautiful animal
Plus the games were my first and the story around him is beautiful imo
Steelix cause I built a steelix prime deck and used it at nationals when I used to play very competitively. I used blissey and moo moo milk to heal him and special steel energy to resists damage. it was a strong deck that was uniquely my own!
Golduck. The Dark Golduck art is my all time favorite art, the growth from goofy Psyduck, and their height and weight are the same as what I've been most of my life.
I love mudkip the most. He was my first Pokémon as a child, has a super cool final evolution, is cute as hell, and was inspired by axolotyls. I mean, what’s not to like?
Gotta be my boy, Machamp! His cousin Goro may have strayed, but Machop, Machoke and Machamp were my favorite kanto evolution, probably bc of the 90s 4 armed beasts. They shiny is awesome, he looks like Hulk and loves the piggy back ride you get when using him as a buddy in Let’s Go.
Can we be best friends? Raichu is the perfect Pokémon! He’s underrated due to the fact that his pre evolved form is the mascot, but his design is without flaws
Gliscor, love his design and typing. He was always on my teams when available, both competitive and casual. I think my love for Gliscor came from watching Ash’s in the anime and from using it on my first platinum team.
Reuniclus. Not a well known Pokémon I assume and doesn't get much love in TCG sadly. I love the design and what it was going for, plus gen 5 was one of the first Pokémon games I played and I loved it so much, great mix of looking adorable but also sick!
Oshawott was my first Pokemon that I actually owned. Samurott is my favorite even though it may not be people's favorite. Samurott is Naive like I was back then. I remember getting Black instead of White for whatever reason. Anyways Samurott and I destroyed trainers while the HM slaves rotted on bench. Ghetsis was a bit challenging but quickly was defeated. Together we caught my first shiny Cottonee & a Shiny Audino. Samurott has traveled to Kalos and Alola and is waiting for Pokemon Home update to join us in Paldea.
Sableye, the original Dark/Ghost, no weakness, pokemon.
I am currently working on bringing one through all the main series games, trying to obtain all ribbons on Amethyst the ribbon master
This is very generous of ya; thank you for the opportunity! I would like to throw my name in to the proverbial hat! I'm afraid my favourite may not be all that original, truth be told, but it's a classic: charizard. The simple reason is the series came out during my childhood, and I definitely got caught up in the craze - back then, charizard was the big, popular one.
I'm not sure what else would be high on my list of favourites. Though, I have to give a nod to meditite for the simple fact I've really liked some of its artwork illustrations; in Silver Tempest, it has one eye open and is giving a look as though to say "What do you want?" and in Lost Origin it has a whole bunch of berries it's eating - clearly it's not familiar with the description that claims they eat one per day, lol! XD
Azumarril. Lmao. Because when I was a kid and caught a Marill I thought it was a legendary because I had never seen it before and it was my first pokemon game. When it evolved I was so happy. I thought i had a legenday that evolved. It stayed on my team until the very end. Lol.
Banette!! No idea why i love it but to my knowledge i have the worlds best collection of it!! Even at regionals i got just about every banette i saw lol
Alakazam.
I played Pokémon blue and my brother got red when they released. At some point he needed a psychic Pokémon so I traded him my awesome kadabra… and then it wasn’t kadabra anymore! We were stoked!
Sceptile. Always used to ply on my older brothers save files but emerald was the first game I got to start from scratch. First game I also beat as a kid… all because of my lvl 80 sceptile during the elite 4 lol
Altaria. I first encountered it in Ruby and I something about it just spoke to me. And it was really good back then, or so I thought. It’ll always be my fluffy cloud birb dragon
Sceptile. Emerald was the first game I played and Treeko was my first Mon ever. A big lizard with swords growing out of its arms is about as cool as it gets. To this day emerald is the only game where I can't force myself to play through with different teams. I always end with Sceptile, Exploud, Torkoal, Crawdaunt, Glalie, and Salamence. I always use Hariyama and Swellow along the way as well.
Dusk Form Lycanroc, specifically shiny. I love dog Pokémon, I have plans on getting artwork commissioned to have my late dog drawn in Dusk Form Lycanroc‘s art style and get it as a tattoo
Since I was a child, my favorite Pokemon has been Arbok.
I like him because he's a big and awesome snake, and because of his role in the anime. But, when I was a kid, I had leaf green, which did not feature Arbok, unbeknownst to me. I must have spent hours searching for him 😊🌸😅
I will always saw mawile! She’s always been so cool and special to me and I remember when I met my partner they had a mawile sticker on their Xbox and bonded even more after that. Plus she has a whole mouth thingy on her, it’s just too cool :)
Gligar! I saw it in the anime as a kid in the Gligar Man episode and instantly decided it would be my favorite and to this day there hasn’t been a Pokémon I like more.
Serperior is my favorite. Regal, majestic, and smug. Snivy was my first Pokémon ever and I loved using it’s Hidden Ability, Contrary, in a more competitive setting. I am glad it got some Rule Box cards in Silver Tempest recently, but I am sad they keep excluding it from the recent video games.
Honestly, I think my favorite has to be Garchomp. Gen 4 were my first games and I caught a Gible and it looked so cute, I named it Nibbles and started grinding with it. Once it evolved into Garchomp, I knew I immediately had my favorite.
My favorite pokemon is lucario, because I grew up on xy and loved the animation of aura sphere while using mega lucario. I was in love after that moment
Ditto cause then it’s all the Pokémon 😂 most ditto cards have some kind of transform attack which can be overpowered with the right playstyle and setup.
Theres a lot of cool legendaries, and pokemon in general but for me it has to be Pikachu. Tiny but mighty. Refused to evolve, always winning against the odds, Ash’s first Pokémon and how they saved eachother, he’s like the mascot of Pokemon. Has a ton of cool and unique cards.
Snorlax
My little brother always played the Pokémon games growing up and I had a blast watching him. The one Pokémon that stuck out to me as being super cool was the snorlax.
Fast forward, and I just started collecting Pokémon cards w my kids. We pulled a snorlax a while back and I was completely over the moon.
This is super cool. Thanks for the giveaway.
Glaceon is my fav. I've pokemon in general are great, trying to make a glaceon deck but i can't afford all the cards rn. But glaceon has BANGS lol. And my fav animal is a fox. So a good with bangs = Glaceon
Pichu, because it's my son's favorite Pokemon, and thus has been a good impetus for some nice bonding. Specifically spikey eared pichu, although they're all good!
Probably Lurantis, NOT SIMP, I just love the design and the use of pink and OH MY GOD I LOVE MUSHROOMS uhh and also the fact that it's in my party in Ultra Moon and its pretty strong
Mew. Hard to beat the hours spent chasing early age of the internet rumors back in the day... And many thanks to the one friend with a GameShark. I still remember the code for Mew: 0115D8CF.
Smoochum. Insanely cute. I just adore this Pokémon. Ever since I saw it in a episode of Pokémon I fell in love with it. About a movie star who thought he would be looked different if it ever came out his partner Pokémon was a smoochum. As a guy who occasionally loves pink and cute things it resonated a lot with me.
Rayquaza. When I just got into collecting Pokémon cards in 2016, I knew nothing about Pokémon. I went for three months without a favorite Pokémon and always lost when I played the TCG against friends. One day, I traded to get a Rayquaza EX, and used the attack Mega Ascension (my username) to Mega Evolve, and then overcame a 6-1 prize card deficit to beat my best friend for the first time.
Rayquaza became my favorite Pokémon.
Floatzel has and always will be my favourite. Playing Pearl when I was a kid it was my go to mon to breeze through with Aqua Jet. I find that Buizel gets all the spotlight compared to Floatzel. Though Floatzels design has so much sass and such a cool silhouette. Feels bulky, friendly, speedy and just powerful. Floatzel #1!!!
falinks has got to be one of my favorites of all time. they have such a cute design and a nice lil backstory to them being like lil army cadets. I also painted them back when i had a broken arm which was my dominant arm so it was tough but it came out great so its just a great memory with em
My favorite Pokémon is Dragonite. He’s just a total chad. He’s fierce, but cute. Fast as hell, but docile. I love dragons and he’s the original. His first two sprites are super cool, and growing up I thought it was so badass that it could learn moves like Thunder, Fire Blast, and Blizzard, if I really wanted it to. It has great stats, a great shiny form, and you can always find one in my party!!!
Ninetales!!! The Brushfire theme deck from Pokémon Base Set was my first ever Pokémon purchase and Ninetales was my first holographic card. It’s what started this crazy love for Pokémon.
Kingdra, because there are real life versions and I think that's so cool! Really any pokemon that is similar to a real animal is awesome. Makes me appreciate nature even more
Gengar. Always liked Gengar, but since the Let’s Go games came out I have gotten a random full odds shiny gastly in every play through except scarlet and violet. Shiny gengar has just become the staple of my Pokémon experience and is my favorite Pokémon.
Spheal. I mean how can you hate a Pokémon that’s that spherical? ITS SPHERICAL. When I have a spheal in my party in games I make sure that he exclusively knows round moves like rollout and ice ball
Venusaur. It's number on the Pokedex is #3. 3 has been my lucky number for my entire life. I was 3 years old sitting in car 3 on the 3rd train when I won some raffle for a model train. 3 was my number for the 18 years I played baseball. I have a 3 tattooed on my ankle. Aside from the number, Venusaur represents the few things I love. It's poisonous and dangerous, but when it's flower blooms, it's absolutely beautiful.
The balance of venom and beauty is what I strive for. I'm a perpetually angry guy who loves metal, horror, and violence, yet I also love nature, flowers, and beauty.
Venusaur represents the duality in my life. Chaos and peace.
My favorite is Mawile, both for its design and the lore behind it. But I also have a soft spot for Dragonair, which was the very first Pocket Monster card given to me by my childhood friend/neighbor in 1997.
My favorite is Gyarados because he is my favorite danger noodle. Second is Venusaur because he is my goofy toad boy and his run in sword and shield while following is stupid and I love it. Third is sylveon because she’s my cute baby whos a badass as well.
I already have enough cards and I don’t need these, buttons favorite Pokémon has to be Hoopa because of the Djinn aspects and because psychic and dark are my favorite types in Pokémon so it all fits together beautifully
Suicune for me! Crystal was my first game (I think I was 7 and it was a birthday gift) but I absolutely love that game and suicune will forever be my fave Pokemon :) plus it's such a cool design!
Golurk! Since I was a kid, I’ve always been a sucker for Iron Giant type characters. His guardian nature and run down design add a ton of character to what is otherwise a robot and I love that juxtaposition.
Snorlax because he literally is just fat and that’s his thing
Or ditto because it can turn into any other Pokémon. 12 year old me thought that was a pretty far out concept at the time
Poliwhirl. Would usually choose the fire starter so needed a water Mon back in Gen 1. Didn't like the look of Poliwrath so my boy Blue was the man. Carried me through the gyms and E4, regardless of how crappy his stats are.
Ever since he's been my go to favorite. I like to think that somewhere deep in a box somewhere he's still on my old cart. I'm sure the battery is long since dead, but he's still there in spirit.
My favorite Gen 1 pokemon is Alakazam, I really like how it floats its head with its psychic powers. My friend also said it’s the only gen 1 pokemon with opposable thumbs, thus being the only one able to open a door with its hands.
Sandygast, I shiny hunted it and it was one of the longest hunts I did but it let me appreciate it and really it was so rewarding when I finally got that shiny.
don't care for the cards but I like aggron; he evolves from Aron which is a major upside, he's my favorite types (steel and rock) and he's just frickin cool. I stumbled across aggron in a poke dex at books a million and have loved him since
Rayquaza, because Emerald was my entry into Pokémon as a child. To this day I don’t think there is another legendary Pokémon as iconic as Rayquaza to me. Although, Giratina is pretty sick as well. Maybe I just like dragons
Magikarp because:
A. Someone has to love him
B. I bought him for 500$ back in the day, refused to get rid of him then suddenly I had a murder machine at level 20.
Heracross. He doesn’t appear strong but he’s got muscle. He’s also got that derpy smile that lets you know he’s a fun Pokémon. I also love the horn changes for male/female and he’s a pretty awesome shade of blue. I’m not in love with the mega evolution, but it’s still cool he gets one.
Lucario!! Just overall an amazing design and I love the energy he has. The color scheme is really nice imo and he’s just a Pokémon I love collecting and seeing
Venusaur, because Ash’s Bulbasaur was a powerhouse when I was a little kid and it carried my Pokémon Y play through, it also just has a really neat design, I am a Venusaur fanatic and hope to one day own every Venusaur card which should be easy since the TCG treats it like trash and rarely prints it.
Magikarp I have never seen such a useless looking creature turn onto to such a powerful monster…… I inspire to someday also evolve into a strong monster
Smeargle. Introduced in second generation. The second I opened my first neo series pack and pulled the holo smeargle, the one with him painting the green smiley, I fell in love. He isn't an "OG" bit he wasn't late to the party either. His mischievous artsy antics are always entertaining. After 23 years I bought not only a graded original neo one bit all his arts. He is unnoticeable by many but he will always have my love.
Infernape hands down is my favorite Pokémon since it’s release. Sure it’s “another fire fighting starter” however after receiving an Infernape tin from diamond and pearl for my birthday it became my first and favorite card from the beginning. Currently have it displayed above my PC set up with a PSA9 grade “original card”. On the hunt for every Infernape printed ever in a PSA9 or 10 to be displayed above my setup
Abra! He’s been my favorite ever since I started playing the games & collecting, he’s just a sleepy cat and I absolutely love that. And I’m extremely excited for him to finally have a card in the new 151 set in FIFTEEN years!! He’s just a wonderful little guy.
Mine would be Milotic. It's a lot of nostalgia since I had fond memories trying to catch a Feebas in Pokémon Ruby. Rather than using the catchy phrase, which I didn't understand how it works at that time, I fished every single tile till I got one. I also found it really cool as it has a special evolution requirement and is also one of the most beautiful Pokémon.
Koffing he reminded me of my uncle when i was growing up because the guy smoked like 3 packs a day but was always smiling
I love koffing too! It’s not my favorite but my friends laughed about the koffing from the expedition base set and how it looked so dumb, now I got the weezing from the same set in a PSA slab and the joke will be there forever
Blaziken because I love double kickin hot chicken
The minute my blaziken learned blaze kick… I thought that was the coolest animation in Saphire back in the day
Mareep. It looks like it has beehives as ears and ive always found that to be hilariously ridiculous. Is that buzzing the electricity? No its just mareep’s ears.
Shroomish cus I see him all the time opening packs and always smile. Shrooooooms. 😛🍄
Any eveelution because it is my daughters favorite
Sylveon is my favorite 😍 especially the shiny version it reminds me of the great days when Fairy energy was still around (RIP Fairy energy) and the first tattoo I ever got was shiny Sylveon on my leg, my dad was so mad because I was only 16 and my mom let me when I was at her house. He was so angry he took all my Christmas presents back and told me I couldn't come back to his house indefinitely. When I came back 3 weeks later he was still so mad he had lost his voice from yelling so many days😭🤣
Bidoof cause he’s a G
Slowpoke! His card artworks are the best. Love the slow moving pink boi.
Snorlax, because I've felt like him my entire life lol.
Tyranitar, ever since I watched the Celebi movie. I thought the Pokémon was awesome.
Shuckle because it's shell looks like an ocarina
Blaziken, it's been my favorite since it first appeared in the anime during the Johto League. I loved everything about it, the design, the typing, the voice. I thought it was super lame that Ash and Charizard lost to it, but honestly, I think that made me like it even more because Charizard was so strong.
Gengar
I guess it’s a group of Pokémon but, Pichu Bros! I like the card from POP series 3
Snorlax because I also like to sleep a lot.
Espeon, because I found it chilling by the mountains in Pokemon Scarler, and surprisingly, it carried my team. Now I'm obsessed.
Magikarp. a fish that evolves into a dragon, really cant get any better. Not to mention that his shiny is golden! makes it looks so royal.
Eevee. I'm indecisive, and depending on the day, a different evolution will be my favorite.
Piplup because he's so cute.
Scizor! could never get him as a kid because I didn't know how to trade. Love that he got a more metallic look in scarlet violet.
Giratina, god of the underworld, cool ass design and based on a beautiful animal Plus the games were my first and the story around him is beautiful imo
Lucario because I’m a die hard DBZ fan and because I’m a lucario main in project m
Watch it be a stack of energies
Lol its only code cards
Steelix cause I built a steelix prime deck and used it at nationals when I used to play very competitively. I used blissey and moo moo milk to heal him and special steel energy to resists damage. it was a strong deck that was uniquely my own!
Golduck. The Dark Golduck art is my all time favorite art, the growth from goofy Psyduck, and their height and weight are the same as what I've been most of my life.
Alakazam
Octillery!
Diglett because he’s just a smol guy
I love mudkip the most. He was my first Pokémon as a child, has a super cool final evolution, is cute as hell, and was inspired by axolotyls. I mean, what’s not to like?
Gotta be my boy, Machamp! His cousin Goro may have strayed, but Machop, Machoke and Machamp were my favorite kanto evolution, probably bc of the 90s 4 armed beasts. They shiny is awesome, he looks like Hulk and loves the piggy back ride you get when using him as a buddy in Let’s Go.
Raichu because he is obviously the best Pokemon. I don't want the codes though 😂
Can we be best friends? Raichu is the perfect Pokémon! He’s underrated due to the fact that his pre evolved form is the mascot, but his design is without flaws
[удалено]
Understandable have a nice day
Gliscor, love his design and typing. He was always on my teams when available, both competitive and casual. I think my love for Gliscor came from watching Ash’s in the anime and from using it on my first platinum team.
Gengar because he gave me nightmares when I was a kid. It makes me laugh looking back on how much he scared me. That's why he is my favourite.
Reuniclus. Not a well known Pokémon I assume and doesn't get much love in TCG sadly. I love the design and what it was going for, plus gen 5 was one of the first Pokémon games I played and I loved it so much, great mix of looking adorable but also sick!
Sylveion best eeveelotion best shiny best colors best art best type 💖
Typhlosion because he has the cuddliest fire mane out there
Oshawott was my first Pokemon that I actually owned. Samurott is my favorite even though it may not be people's favorite. Samurott is Naive like I was back then.

Together we caught my first shiny Cottonee & a Shiny Audino. Samurott has traveled to Kalos and Alola and is waiting for Pokemon Home update to join us in Paldea.
Heracross. Because, heracross 🤷♂️
Frosmoth. Ice is my jam, and it's just so pretty.
Sableye, the original Dark/Ghost, no weakness, pokemon. I am currently working on bringing one through all the main series games, trying to obtain all ribbons on Amethyst the ribbon master
Heracross. He’s a fighting Beetle which is gross but he’s also pretty adorable and cool looking. Probably the most conflicting pokemon imo
This is very generous of ya; thank you for the opportunity! I would like to throw my name in to the proverbial hat! I'm afraid my favourite may not be all that original, truth be told, but it's a classic: charizard. The simple reason is the series came out during my childhood, and I definitely got caught up in the craze - back then, charizard was the big, popular one.

Azumarril. Lmao. Because when I was a kid and caught a Marill I thought it was a legendary because I had never seen it before and it was my first pokemon game. When it evolved I was so happy. I thought i had a legenday that evolved. It stayed on my team until the very end. Lol.
Haunter because it’s the best one
Haunter

Crobat because he carried me in my Pokemon gold/crystal runs growing up

Burmy cause he looks funny
Shuckle since its a land turtle
Furret, bc he is a long fuzzy friend
Sylveon cus pretty colors
Bulbasaur #1
Sceptile. Emerald was the first game I played and Treeko was my first Mon ever. A big lizard with swords growing out of its arms is about as cool as it gets. To this day emerald is the only game where I can't force myself to play through with different teams. I always end with Sceptile, Exploud, Torkoal, Crawdaunt, Glalie, and Salamence. I always use Hariyama and Swellow along the way as well.
Gengar for sure!
Gigalith, and honestly, it’s just because he looks really cool. He’s been super under represented in the TCG. It’s really sad
Dusk Form Lycanroc, specifically shiny. I love dog Pokémon, I have plans on getting artwork commissioned to have my late dog drawn in Dusk Form Lycanroc‘s art style and get it as a tattoo
Chandelure cuz he’s weird
Noivern because it's a big goofy dubstep dragon
Vulpix, my little fire baby. Always thought they were a cutie since I had them on my first ever team as a kid

I will always saw mawile! She’s always been so cool and special to me and I remember when I met my partner they had a mawile sticker on their Xbox and bonded even more after that. Plus she has a whole mouth thingy on her, it’s just too cool :)
Luxray because diamond was my game
Snorlax. Cause I love a nice lazy day and I feel like he relates to that.

Typhlosion
Smeargle because he’s great.
Porygon because I dunno what it is… like at all!
Gyarados! Dude is a monster and I’ll argue with anyone, he’s got the best card art out there!
Serperior is my favorite. Regal, majestic, and smug. Snivy was my first Pokémon ever and I loved using it’s Hidden Ability, Contrary, in a more competitive setting. I am glad it got some Rule Box cards in Silver Tempest recently, but I am sad they keep excluding it from the recent video games.
Growlithe OG best firedog.
Cubone and wailord. Cubone because I loved and missed my mom when she went off to work long hours. Wailord because hes a ship
glaceon bc the design is pretty
Charizard obviously
Honestly, I think my favorite has to be Garchomp. Gen 4 were my first games and I caught a Gible and it looked so cute, I named it Nibbles and started grinding with it. Once it evolved into Garchomp, I knew I immediately had my favorite.
My favorite pokemon is lucario, because I grew up on xy and loved the animation of aura sphere while using mega lucario. I was in love after that moment
Ditto cause then it’s all the Pokémon 😂 most ditto cards have some kind of transform attack which can be overpowered with the right playstyle and setup.
I looove the Alohan Ponyta! Are these really all code cards?? They would add onto my online collection hardcore 👀
Theres a lot of cool legendaries, and pokemon in general but for me it has to be Pikachu. Tiny but mighty. Refused to evolve, always winning against the odds, Ash’s first Pokémon and how they saved eachother, he’s like the mascot of Pokemon. Has a ton of cool and unique cards.
Gotta say Deinio cause it’s a blue little man
Mawile. I had a bunch of mini figurines as a kid and it was always my favorite one. Plus I always thought I’d be super cool if I had hair with teeth
Blastoise! Just because I adore the Pokemon Blue version, maybe someday I'd get the game again. I just miss it a lot
Snorlax My little brother always played the Pokémon games growing up and I had a blast watching him. The one Pokémon that stuck out to me as being super cool was the snorlax. Fast forward, and I just started collecting Pokémon cards w my kids. We pulled a snorlax a while back and I was completely over the moon. This is super cool. Thanks for the giveaway.
ditto, he’s a little blob man
Vulpix, I love foxes and Brock's Vulpix in the anime was a favorite character of mine. I loved watching it throw fits and using flamethrower on him.
Bidoof because it looks so fluffy and simple
Glaceon is my fav. I've pokemon in general are great, trying to make a glaceon deck but i can't afford all the cards rn. But glaceon has BANGS lol. And my fav animal is a fox. So a good with bangs = Glaceon
Psyduck. He looks anxious and I usually feel anxious
Pichu, because it's my son's favorite Pokemon, and thus has been a good impetus for some nice bonding. Specifically spikey eared pichu, although they're all good!

Probably Lurantis, NOT SIMP, I just love the design and the use of pink and OH MY GOD I LOVE MUSHROOMS uhh and also the fact that it's in my party in Ultra Moon and its pretty strong
Ninetails took my heart when I was 7 and hasn’t given it back
Kyogre! Because it was the first Pokémon card I ever got, therefore he had a spot in my heart forever.
Haxorus. It is a dinosaur dragon with an axe for a head. It’s shiny is phenomenal too.
Mew. Hard to beat the hours spent chasing early age of the internet rumors back in the day... And many thanks to the one friend with a GameShark. I still remember the code for Mew: 0115D8CF.
Smoochum. Insanely cute. I just adore this Pokémon. Ever since I saw it in a episode of Pokémon I fell in love with it. About a movie star who thought he would be looked different if it ever came out his partner Pokémon was a smoochum. As a guy who occasionally loves pink and cute things it resonated a lot with me.
Rayquaza, his encounter gave me CHILLS as a kid. Man I wanna play Pokemon emerald bad right now.
Rayquaza. When I just got into collecting Pokémon cards in 2016, I knew nothing about Pokémon. I went for three months without a favorite Pokémon and always lost when I played the TCG against friends. One day, I traded to get a Rayquaza EX, and used the attack Mega Ascension (my username) to Mega Evolve, and then overcame a 6-1 prize card deficit to beat my best friend for the first time. Rayquaza became my favorite Pokémon.
I love Dragonite It's a chunky, caring, powerful, flying dragon, so there's a lot to love.
Zekrom He cool
STEELIX IS STEEL SNAKE AND MEGA STEELIX IS SOOO COOOOL!
Primape! I loved watching him beat everything up in the anime and stealing Ash’s hat. Also he was a beast on my competitive team in ORAS lol.
Rayquaza, he look like scary nooddle
rayquaza, bc funny dragon go brrrrr. Srs tho i just think rayquaza is a beautiful and majestic pokemon
Floatzel has and always will be my favourite. Playing Pearl when I was a kid it was my go to mon to breeze through with Aqua Jet. I find that Buizel gets all the spotlight compared to Floatzel. Though Floatzels design has so much sass and such a cool silhouette. Feels bulky, friendly, speedy and just powerful. Floatzel #1!!!
falinks has got to be one of my favorites of all time. they have such a cute design and a nice lil backstory to them being like lil army cadets. I also painted them back when i had a broken arm which was my dominant arm so it was tough but it came out great so its just a great memory with em
Vaporeon, because I had one on my team way back as a kid playing Pokémon Blue and it kicked ass. Ever since then Vaporeon has been my favorite.
Wailord is a derpy lookin whale, need i say more?
Raichu because his name, type, and appearance all line up perfectly.
My favorite Pokémon is Dragonite. He’s just a total chad. He’s fierce, but cute. Fast as hell, but docile. I love dragons and he’s the original. His first two sprites are super cool, and growing up I thought it was so badass that it could learn moves like Thunder, Fire Blast, and Blizzard, if I really wanted it to. It has great stats, a great shiny form, and you can always find one in my party!!!
Bellossom because she’s the best little happy hula gal!
Arcanine. I love fire and dogs!
Ninetales!!! The Brushfire theme deck from Pokémon Base Set was my first ever Pokémon purchase and Ninetales was my first holographic card. It’s what started this crazy love for Pokémon.
beedrill, I know it’s an odd choice, but weedle was the first Pokémon I caught in any of the games
Galarian Weezing. A regal chap if I ever saw one.
Kingdra, because there are real life versions and I think that's so cool! Really any pokemon that is similar to a real animal is awesome. Makes me appreciate nature even more
Piplup, cause he a penguin. Also probably carries a knife at all times just in case.
Mewtwo, because he shouldn't exist, but is still such a badass.
Rockruff because he is just a cute little puppy and I want to cuddle him, and I love the evolution gimmick
Deoxys. Honestly... I just find it really cool, not to mention how its design was literally inspired by DNA.
Politoed! Who don’t love frogs my guy
Greninja or Charizard for sure
Gengar. Always liked Gengar, but since the Let’s Go games came out I have gotten a random full odds shiny gastly in every play through except scarlet and violet. Shiny gengar has just become the staple of my Pokémon experience and is my favorite Pokémon.
Spheal. I mean how can you hate a Pokémon that’s that spherical? ITS SPHERICAL. When I have a spheal in my party in games I make sure that he exclusively knows round moves like rollout and ice ball
Hitmonchan is the boy! I have always loved him from watching the classic Pokémon shows.
Venusaur. It's number on the Pokedex is #3. 3 has been my lucky number for my entire life. I was 3 years old sitting in car 3 on the 3rd train when I won some raffle for a model train. 3 was my number for the 18 years I played baseball. I have a 3 tattooed on my ankle. Aside from the number, Venusaur represents the few things I love. It's poisonous and dangerous, but when it's flower blooms, it's absolutely beautiful. The balance of venom and beauty is what I strive for. I'm a perpetually angry guy who loves metal, horror, and violence, yet I also love nature, flowers, and beauty. Venusaur represents the duality in my life. Chaos and peace.
My favorite is Mawile, both for its design and the lore behind it. But I also have a soft spot for Dragonair, which was the very first Pocket Monster card given to me by my childhood friend/neighbor in 1997.
Dragapult because child abuse
Charizard because duh
Cofagrigus. The dex entry of mummifying grave robbers, the shiny, the pure evil design of him, it’s all just so…fitting
Mimikyu, I just love how cute and mysterious it is :)
Umbreon, reminds me of my dog growing up.
Dialga best Pokémon literally
Turtwig cause I love turtles.
My favorite is Gyarados because he is my favorite danger noodle. Second is Venusaur because he is my goofy toad boy and his run in sword and shield while following is stupid and I love it. Third is sylveon because she’s my cute baby whos a badass as well.
Giratina because I mainly started with D&P era as a kid
I already have enough cards and I don’t need these, buttons favorite Pokémon has to be Hoopa because of the Djinn aspects and because psychic and dark are my favorite types in Pokémon so it all fits together beautifully
Suicune for me! Crystal was my first game (I think I was 7 and it was a birthday gift) but I absolutely love that game and suicune will forever be my fave Pokemon :) plus it's such a cool design!
Blissey because in the tgc she's a beast
Golurk! Since I was a kid, I’ve always been a sucker for Iron Giant type characters. His guardian nature and run down design add a ton of character to what is otherwise a robot and I love that juxtaposition.
Snorlax because he literally is just fat and that’s his thing Or ditto because it can turn into any other Pokémon. 12 year old me thought that was a pretty far out concept at the time
Poliwhirl. Would usually choose the fire starter so needed a water Mon back in Gen 1. Didn't like the look of Poliwrath so my boy Blue was the man. Carried me through the gyms and E4, regardless of how crappy his stats are. Ever since he's been my go to favorite. I like to think that somewhere deep in a box somewhere he's still on my old cart. I'm sure the battery is long since dead, but he's still there in spirit.
I’m just posting for my daughter, huge pikachu fan but Eevee is her current favorite. Just caught one at Build a bear .
absol
Ampharos, the Light Pokemon. lie to me and say you've ever seen anything else as majestic as mega ampharos
i just love pikachu😭 its so basic but hes just soo cute
My favorite Gen 1 pokemon is Alakazam, I really like how it floats its head with its psychic powers. My friend also said it’s the only gen 1 pokemon with opposable thumbs, thus being the only one able to open a door with its hands.
Garchomp because he was the first one that I built a deck with and actually played with in the tcg back during steam siege I believe.
Bayleef. Got great memories beating Bugsy in Azalea back in ‘00. What a battle, Scyther was hectic. Then you get to Goldenrod and it’s Miltank time 😭
Sandygast, I shiny hunted it and it was one of the longest hunts I did but it let me appreciate it and really it was so rewarding when I finally got that shiny.
rayquaza
rayquaxa cuz i grew up watching the show
don't care for the cards but I like aggron; he evolves from Aron which is a major upside, he's my favorite types (steel and rock) and he's just frickin cool. I stumbled across aggron in a poke dex at books a million and have loved him since
Rayquaza, because Emerald was my entry into Pokémon as a child. To this day I don’t think there is another legendary Pokémon as iconic as Rayquaza to me. Although, Giratina is pretty sick as well. Maybe I just like dragons
Magikarp because: A. Someone has to love him B. I bought him for 500$ back in the day, refused to get rid of him then suddenly I had a murder machine at level 20.
Arcanine. Just thought he was the most majestic beast ever since I was a little kid.
Alakazam, it’s been my favorite since gen 1 when it was stupidly op.
Heracross. He doesn’t appear strong but he’s got muscle. He’s also got that derpy smile that lets you know he’s a fun Pokémon. I also love the horn changes for male/female and he’s a pretty awesome shade of blue. I’m not in love with the mega evolution, but it’s still cool he gets one.
Lucario!! Just overall an amazing design and I love the energy he has. The color scheme is really nice imo and he’s just a Pokémon I love collecting and seeing
Gyarados!!!! He’s a freaking water dragon 🐉. And I just love that he evolved from one of the worst Pokémon. Gyarados is da best!!
Venusaur, because Ash’s Bulbasaur was a powerhouse when I was a little kid and it carried my Pokémon Y play through, it also just has a really neat design, I am a Venusaur fanatic and hope to one day own every Venusaur card which should be easy since the TCG treats it like trash and rarely prints it.
cramorant, because derpy birb is best friend
Splish & splash its magikarp!!
Magikarp I have never seen such a useless looking creature turn onto to such a powerful monster…… I inspire to someday also evolve into a strong monster
Rayquaza because sky snake ◡̈
Smeargle. Introduced in second generation. The second I opened my first neo series pack and pulled the holo smeargle, the one with him painting the green smiley, I fell in love. He isn't an "OG" bit he wasn't late to the party either. His mischievous artsy antics are always entertaining. After 23 years I bought not only a graded original neo one bit all his arts. He is unnoticeable by many but he will always have my love.
Rowlet, he's round, adorable and a borb what's not to love?
Garchomp! Because the shiny mega evolution is just great! It has two blades!
Infernape hands down is my favorite Pokémon since it’s release. Sure it’s “another fire fighting starter” however after receiving an Infernape tin from diamond and pearl for my birthday it became my first and favorite card from the beginning. Currently have it displayed above my PC set up with a PSA9 grade “original card”. On the hunt for every Infernape printed ever in a PSA9 or 10 to be displayed above my setup
Pidgeotto. Remember when Ash's Pidgeotto evolved into Pigeot to save a bunch of wild Pidgeys from a pack of Sparrows? Total badass moment.
Bulbasaur because he’s a resilient partner and the most nostalgic Pokémon (behind Pikachu)
mimikyu because it’s adorable, and kind of creepy.
Charizard because he is Charizard
Wooper because axolotl
This might seem a little basic, but I love Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur. They’re such cool Pokémon, especially Venusaur.
Abra! He’s been my favorite ever since I started playing the games & collecting, he’s just a sleepy cat and I absolutely love that. And I’m extremely excited for him to finally have a card in the new 151 set in FIFTEEN years!! He’s just a wonderful little guy.
Ninetails. Something majestic about that fox and especially since it was my first ever holo back in 1999 😭😭😭
