I think there is a general dislike for Mr Mime but in Yellow, early in the game, there was a NPC that can trade you one. It was my first Psychic Pokemon and I loved it, even more than my starters and Mewtwo

I don't "main" Pokémon, but I did have a pretty damn OP Pidgeot in Pokémon Gold back in the day that I treated as my starter.

Caught at lvl2, first catch of the game and took me all the way to the end as the main powerhouse and Flying HM user.
Man I used Pidgey for the first time ever in XY a few years back and...ummm...

It's really bad. Like, no moves for the longest time. Probably was a bit different pre Physical/Special split though.

Just look at this badass. Works well as a set-up sweeper, a banded sweeper, a hybrid-wall. Dude's got some crazy utility.

His Mega makes him even better.

This dude has found his way onto my team since Gen 2, I sometimes swap him for Lucario when I need a pokemon that can be specially oriented or if I need a fighting type. But Scizor has a special place in my heart.

I also really like Salazzle

Great offensive typing, great design, decent stats but nothing to write home about.

If Salazzle makes it through into Sword and Shield, I'll probably end up using her again.

Zangoose in D/P. It's broken with Swords Dance at lvl. 9. And it can learn False Swipe later when it's too OP and you need to start catching shit.

I always try to have an Alakazam. The one I had in Red must have had perfect IVs in sp atk and def because that sucker could take out 3 of my brother's pokemon before it went down.

I distinctly remember playing thru Pokémon Yellow as a kid and maining w/pidgey instead of a team of starters like I normally did in the game, simply bc I found it at level 6 when my pikachu was only level 5. I ended up never getting past Giovanni due to his ground Pokémon whooping my ass.

Spiritomb. He is always in my team. I wonder traded until I got home when I had to start from scratch in Sun & Moon. I use a ghost type team with dual typing pokes. Spiritomb is my absolute favorite, second is Dhelmise.

Arcanine in absolutely every game possible. He was basically the OG legendary fire dog before Entei came along...

I never really "main" a pokemon.... I always keep my entire party around the same level.

Back in pokemon yellow I caught a dugtrio in diglett's cave and I mained it for the rest of the game.
