I can only put seven choices in a poll, so apologies to my fellow Corviknight and Impidimp fans.

My favorite is Gliscor from Gen IV.

I used to see people dump on the new evolutions that Gen IV introduced, and yeah some of them are a little weird, but when they result in ones like Gliscor it's okay by me.

Gen V has Trubbish and Garbodor so it wins.

Technically though, I have a lot of pokemon I really like from Gen III despite not really being all that interested in those games. Some great new monsters were introduced in that one.

I love 5th gen since it got me back into Pokemon, I especially love the bug pokemon in that gen.
Volcarona, Scolipede, Escavalier, and Joltik. All 10/10 designs.

I just realized I don't have a favorite Pokémon. But there are many I really liked. I'd say most of them are either Gen 1, 3 or 7

Arceus from gen 4

Charizard is a close runner-up, of gen 1

I think gens 1 and 2 have the best overall Mons, though I dug a good deal of the recent ones from gens 6-7 (but none of them really stick out in my mind).

I'm a basic bitch and Pikachu is my fav. But technically my mostest favorite is Pikachu libre and she wasn't introduced until later

OP, has good taste, because my favorite is also a Gen IV evolution of a Gen 2 'mon.

(And Weavile translated to Pokken really well, which was a nice bonus).

Although Gen 4 was my first, my favourite pokémon was from Gen 5. Who doesn't relate to Garbodor on a spiritual level?

No love for Mimikyu?

cheating a bit, as I am not 100% that this one is my favorite. Gardevoir and greninja are pretty up there, and Snivvy is also close.

Gen II for this legend.

Don't think of it as one of my faves, but it gave us Forretress, Shuckle and Tyranitar too.

Generation VI - Aegislash

Amazing design, fantastic typing, great moveset, very unique and fun ability, and even its shiny is beautiful. And it's really fun to play as in Pokkén as well (I was soo happy when it was announced as DLC). Winner on all counts.

Gen 1, 3, and 5 are my personal favorite gens for pokemon.

Gen 4 is dogshit, and I'm split on gens 2, 6, and 7

My favorite Pokemon is from gen 2, however

Gen 2 has most of my favorites: Tyranitar, Scizor, Heracross, Feraligatr, Dunsparce, Shuckle. Gen IV has a lot of good ones because I really like the evos for old pokemon that they did too, but every gen has at least a few pokemon I find awesome.

But I still like the gen 2 games the most out of any.

Please be in Galar.
While Whimsicott is, by far, my favorite Pokémin, Alola has my favorite overall selection thus far.

Pangoro from gen 6!

I didn't even play gen 6, but I have to admit it has a ton of great Pokemon designs. I used Pangoro in gen 7, and I'm glad it's returning in gen 8!

being 6/7 and getting a lime green gameboy colour with yellow and blue was insane and will always be my favourite generation. (nostalgia)
