All of these except Graveler (no offense, Graveler fans). Based design that's arguably superior to their final evolutions, memorable in anime, and good enough to be used in-game without missing their evolutions.
(Except Kadabra. Getting Kadabra in-game isn't "good enough", it's "GG game owned for free" tier good. It has enough speed, SpA and coverage via TMs to turn any given cartridge into an effortless solo run if you don't restrict yourself.)
