Quoted By:
Gen 1 - As a kid, Kadabra, Kabutops and Venusaur. Now, all three of those, plus Jolteon, Tentacool, Zubat, and my all-time favorite, Slowpoke, due to them in later games.
Gen 2 - As a kid, Ampharos and Quagsire, but as an adult, remove Ampharos and add Sunkern/Sunflora, Houndour line, Corsola and Crobat (Crobat much later, in Platinum, saved me in a gym battle when everyone else was fainted and took him through the rest of the game)
Gen 3 - Spinda, Armaldo, Anorith, and the Mudkip line
Gen 4 - Shinx line, Chatot, Azelf, and as of catching a shiny in X, the Drifloon line
Gen 5 - Sawk, Audino (and I thought I'd hate both pre-release during the leaks, fuckers saved my ass and became bros) Volcarona, Venipede line, Trubbish, Joltik (eviolite'd that shit) and Vanillite line. Shit. I didn't realize I liked Gen V so much.
Gen 6 - Fletchling line, Slurpuff, Goomy line
Short version?
I - Slowbro
II - Crobat
III - Armaldo or Spinda
IV - Luxray or Drifloon
V - Sawk or Volcarona (Joltik close third)
VI - Slurpuff
