>Sableye
Played Emerald for the first time a few months ago. Never played Gen 3 except FRLG. So I usually plan my team out so I cover weaknesses and whatnot. I saw Sableye and thought it was a nifty design, but thought nothing more. Seemed weak. Figured it was rare as well. So as I went into Granite Cave, I was shocked when I found one. Caught it, nicknamed it Macalania. Became such a bro. Gotta love Dark/Ghost, and learns Shadow Ball just in time for the Elite 4. Always thought Night Shade was useless, but helped me in a pinch many times. #1 favorite Pokemon.
>Scolipede
Caught this gal, nicknamed her Jenova. Figured I'd never really used Bug Pokemon at all. Gave her a whirl and holy shit. Scolipede=God-tier design. Brought her all the way through the game, and can't play a run-through of White without her now.
>Scyther
Was always my favorite design growing up, but I never trained one. I recently played Crystal for the first time ever. Yeah, seriously. And I caught one at the Bug Contest and figured that he deserves a shot. Nicknamed him Seifer. And what a bro, lived up to the hype.
>Skarmory
Always figured he was weak since he does not evolve, so never thought much of him. When I saw he was available somewhat early on in White 2, couldn't resist. Nicknamed him Spira. Quickly became a favorite, easily my favorite bird Pokemon by far. And now Steel is one of my favorite types thanks to Skarmory.
>Heracross
No explanation needed really. Awesome design, pretty unstoppable. Nicknamed him Macalania, same as my Sableye. For me, if it fits, it fits. I'm pretty picky with nicknames. But it was pretty damn cool to headbutt a tree and get a level 3 Heracross. Way better when you train Pokemon from baby levels, more bonding time, ya know?
>Staryu/Starmie
Easily one of my favorite designs. Nicknamed him Paopu. Always use a Staryu whenever I can.
