It's a toss up between the two
Gardevoir:
-It was the first pokemon that I ever saw that looked unique enough. Everything up until that point was just monsters and animals, which are cool, but Gardevoir was unique.
-I hadn't seen a Ralts yet, so when Wally first caught one I spent hours till I found one, which I was then determined to raise before he did
-It's got that whole loyal guardian thing going on, and that's cool
-My first Gardevoir I raised was quirky and I thought that was cool
Gallade:
-I already liked Gardevoir, and I first saw Gallade in my 12 year old "it's cool if it has a sword" phase.
-It's also got the whole loyal guardian thing going on
-It just in general has a cool design, like Garde
To this day I feel like a horrible person because I can't find my first Gardevoir, and I'm pretty sure I deleted it at some point ;_;
