Wow, what a riveting turn of events.
But asides from Charizard (which I grew tired of his exposition later on despite initial liking, gosh, I even dread misclicking Pelago just because of that long ass cutscene) and Blaziken (at the time, I wasn't exposed to Blaziken pandering, only much later realized he was introduced early in the anime, just picked Torchic and went with it without knowing what it'd become, which in the end, I took a liking to it but wasn't that much in love with it either), not that many. I actually liked having Togepi/Togetic on my GS team and liked its episodes back then, just an egg mon. Togetic episode was fucking sad for me.
Never found Piplup all that charming for whatever reason, Oshawott was eh to me. Lucario is really fucking forced and can't feel like bothering myself to like it just because it happens to be shilled, If I had liked it before, I would have simply continued to like it. Mewtwo is a classic, but often shilled side to side with Charizard. I found its female portrayal rather odd because of seeing the original movie, thus not being used to it.
Rockruff is kinda forgettable and just acts like your average dog. Don't really care for its evos. One is just average dog except more grown up and the other is a bit zany and crazier, but still kinda eh.
I often pretend Incineroar doesn't exist. Even when I don't try, it's easy to forget about him. When he's all alone in the Alolan Dex as it is, he stands out, but as soon you realize the other Fire starters exist, he doesn't stand out as much since everyone is biped except Typhlosion. If he were the exception among a sea of quadruped Fire starters, maybe I'd care more, but as of now, I'm unbelievably tired of Fire starter mons in general.
