When I first got into Pokemon (around Gen 3) I decided to get a booster pack to try it out. It was mostly unremarkable, but one card stuck out. It was a badass reverse-holo Salamence. While it would be nothing special today, I had never seen anything like it (I hadn't played the games and I watched a little of the anime). When I got that card, I decided to check out the rest of the franchise, and I've been a fan ever since.
Now, there are other reasons Salamence is my favorite. It's a beast competitively, it has a pretty great design, and I've had some amazing times playing with it. However, it's my absolute favorite because I probably wouldn't be a Pokemon fan without it.
