I hate those questions because I don't know the english name >:(
And I want to know which pokemon we are talking about!
Anyway :p
HGSS was my first pokemon game and Typhlosion was my first starter of which I also cleared the pkmn league.
Other favorites (all how they look)
- Lugia
- Dialga
- Empoleon
- Giratina
- Gastly and all evolutions
- Ditto
- Mew
(My lock screen is a variant of mew called Thunder-Mew)
mega kangkaskhan pre-nerf console.
Druddigon my beloved
Snom, Lokix, Typhlosion.
Charmander, Mimikyu, and Haunter.
Ursaring. I had one that would basically one hit everything.
Mega Lucario would be my pick, followed by Xerneas.
Eevee > Glaceon and Sylveon Charcadet > Armarouge and Ceruledge I also like Genesect.
I think it's fair to pick a few with how many there are now.
Probably Jigglypuff. It can learn all the attacks and evolves right away and was always fun to down air into down B combo on smash bros 64.
Nidorina.
It’s one of the first Pokémon in gen 1 that isn’t recognisable as another creature. It feels like the first ‘monster’ you really run into.
I also caught one early in my first playthrough, and didn't find out about the moon stone evo until very late game. I just thought that Nidorina was the final form. By the time I learnt, I was kind of attached to the middle form.
The Nidoran families are really cool! I personally really like Nidoking, since I used it in both my gen 1 playthroughs (leaf green and Let's Go Pikachu).
My favorites are Torchic and Blaziken. Pokemon Saphire was one of the first video games I ever purchased, and he stuck with me through a lot.
I hate how TPC has repeatedly done the evo line dirty by overriding them with multiple fire/fighting type starters with higher stats
Snorlax is my spirit animal
Scizor! It’s annoying have a trade mon as your favorite. A lot of the games don’t give you a metal coat until late game too. What can you do
Scizor is a really interesting pokemon, and a much needed evolution to Scyther (I think they have similar stats but the better typing with Bug/Steel makes it more viable)
Steelix is also another awesome trade mon, it's pretty much just a better version of Onix in every way. In later gens it also has a really cool mega!
Dragonite -- I love his derpy little wings.
I was talking to someone a month ago about this. I told them as a kid my favorite pokemon was charizard and as I got older it switched to dragonite. They said to me "so you really have a type huh?" I didn't understand until I thought about it and realized charizard and dragonite share a lot of similarities. The former being edgier and the latter being cuter.
So apparently I really like large, orange dragons.
Dragonite is indeed very cute
My favorite starter is Totodile. My favorite Eeveelution is Vaporeon (Espeon is a close second).
But overall, my favorite is Snorlax.
Cofagrigus is my son
Listen, friend, I was an adult before Pokémon was even a thing. Your Pokeymans are irrelevant to me, child. Irrelevant.
So why do I recognise most of gen 1 and a handful of others besides?!
TL;DR: Psyduck
Swampert! For a non-starter, probably Tropius or Stonjourner.
Trubbish.
He's just a derpy lil bag of trash.
I do not like his evolution, though.
From the first game boy games I rolled a lot with Charichard and Nidoking, then did not play untill like a few years back and ran into Grimmsnarl and that is my favourite of the new ones.
Butterfree, because I once beat a friend's Mewtwo with it on Soul Silver.
Pikachu, because it's so cute.
Bug types being super effective on Psychic types is always so funny to me.
I have big brain and move big things with mind, but a bug bite, it scares me.
I believe the reasoning for the weaknesses of Psychic type are based on different phobias (scared of the dark, bugs, and ghosts). Also, it makes bug types just that little bit stronger which is nice!
Yeah, but the important detail in this case, was Butterfree's base stats vs. Mewtwo's and the fact that I hit it with a successful sleep powder and it was fast asleep for so long, that I managed to kill it with dream eater. 👻
Poliwhirl
Arcanine. I like dogs and the design is really cool looking. Too bad its only an ok pokemon stats wise haha.
In Red/Blue I liked Abra>Kadabra>Alakazam and Gengar.
As for cuteness, I can't say no to Jigglypuff.
Always been an Arbok fan. Sure, Gen 1 he dies to Psychic really easy, but especially as we get into Gen 3/4 and you get stuff like Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang TMs as well as decent Dark moves to teach it, it becomes a nasty piece of work with some support. Plus, it gets Intimidate and I love Intimidate as an ability.

Basculin is my favourite by far
Nidoqueen but only because the in-game trade in the original games is named TERRY.
When I battled a friend a few years ago after using her we laughed for awhile about the name. It became a meme between friends, and for that reason she's my favorite.
hard to pick just one. Flareon just barely eekes it out to the top but it has the unfair advantage of being my first starter, from Gale of Darkness on GCN. my fantasy team would be
Flareon Swampert Decidyueye Gallade Drampa or Altaria Alolan Dugtrio or Clodesire
Back when I was really into Pokemon I liked Dewott. After not playing Pokemon for several years, I think Pikachu became my favorite; it's really the only pokemon you get exposed to if you don't play the games and the design is very iconic.
About a year ago I played Cobblemon (Minecraft Pokemon) and Joltik / Galvantula became my new favorite. 🕷️
