>>50277599>To those who were around during Pokemania and actively participated. What were your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon?>GengarI got some of those collectible figures during Pokemania and have the transparent Gengar to this day (came in a 2-pack with Meowth). I enjoy the benevolent prankster trope and Gengar fits it well.
>EeveeMy first Pokemon card, got it from someone with extras during recess. It (and Umbreon) remained my favorite for many years and are still among my top picks.
>ArcanineThe first card I won in a game, still in my top 3 favorites.
>All 3 StartersI think everyone I knew liked all of them thanks to the anime and replaying the games so much.
>OnixBrock was always a cool character and Onix had some great moments in the anime to make up for its game performance.
