>>12846460Opinions, man.
Typhlosion was my best bro as a kid. It seemed like everyone had gold/silver/crystal, but no one but me and one other kid had red or blue. Everyone in my neighborhood LOVED grass pokemon for whatever reason, so I'd always stomp them. The three people who had a water type were brothers and not a single one of their water pokemon actually knew water type moves.
I've loved Charizard ever since my mom bought me a stuffed one when I was hospitalized as a child with whooping cough.
I traded some kid a butterfree for haunter, which to my surprise evolved into Gengar when the trade finished. Since this was before everyone had internet, no one knew how I got it for AGES.
Raltz was my first shiny, and I've had a soft spot for them and the evolutions since.
Swampert was a badass and would stomp everything people threw at him, and I quite liked his design, so I always have one around.
I thought dewott was probably the best looking evolution of the gen V starters, and I was very disappointed when it evolved into something so meh. In B2 I slapped an everstone on him.
