He faggots, time to claim your favorite Pokemon. Only one person can claim a single pokemon (three headed Pokemon or multimon can be claimed as many times as there are heads or individual mon). Please explain why that is your favorite Mon.

I'll go first, it's furret. I freaking love furret because it reminds me of my old ferret.

(i also like pyukumuku btw, it's just that this animation places jumpluff a tiny bit higher)

Claimed
It's so cuddly and cute, I get pretty bad insomnia so a Pokemon famed for it's soft fur that knows Sing is very appealing. Also it has the potential to be pretty strong in battles (in lore at least, games make it trash)

Eh I tried Colosseum recently, the region and the music are fucking great.
The main problem is having no routes makes the game pretty dull. You just teleport between cities and battle, battle, battle. It gets old quick, especially since you're only allowed to catch a few preselected Pokemon. Also double battles fucking suck

I don't think it's too much to ask for a game that's basically the same as Colosseum + regular routes and catching. What the fuck even was the point of ''''''''''''''future proofing''''''''''''''''' the models if they were gonna half ass them anyway? They couldn't even put the work into making the models they were planning on using, for at least the next decade, as good as a game that came out a decade prior?

You just described what i expected from gen 8 (and my dream pokemon, too)
Also i love double battles, they're faster and have very interesting combos, they also don't turn into a switchfest so easily

I prefer doubles vs real players for sure, but the solo game should stay singles imo
There's no strategy in doubles vs AI, they pick moves and targets seemingly at random and do the most retarded shit. It gets real frustrating trying to predict them so you just resort to spamming surf/earthquake.

I can't disagree with this post more. Not only does Doubles require a lot more agency in single player but it's easy to hardcode AI for specific battles into performing particular strategies, something which the Genius Sorority games do a lot of. There are so many little moments that I remember from Colosseum where the AI did something that caused me to think "huh, neat" whereas that is completely non-existent in mainline titles and even singles formats for the N64/Wii titles.

I had the opposite experience. The number of times I tried to abuse Protect or switch into immunities to waste their turns, and the AI just did random shit instead is absurd.

Can you give some examples? I've never seen anything like that - though I don't think I've ever felt the need to use protect in a solo playthrough.

I love this cute little dork, even caught 500 for no reason. I'll hunt a shiny one later and give it a ton of ribbons. That's it.

Just shit like having a Pokemon one hit from dying, so I use Protect to waste a turn, and they inexplicably don't attack it.
Or them having a Ground type against my electric, so I switch into my Flying type but they randomly use a non-ground move.
Shit like that.

It's entirely possible the AI actually takes that shit into account and I just got 4D chessed, but considering I remember that boss with the Golem and Metang who Earthquaked half of his own team to death - I seriously doubt it.

That's entirely a result of your actions to protect and switch then, the AI's coded to read what you do before inputting their own and this is a thing in singles as well. As for the Earthquake thing, I don't know what you did but Dakim's whole gimmick is using multi-hit moves with one Pokemon and then having the other bypass it with an immunity (Levitate) or by using Protect. Only Pokemon he's ever team-KO'd in my playthroughs is Entei, which seems to be intentional in order to make catching Entei harder (which is honestly bull lol)

In my first run of Silver, I liked Furret so much, it was by far my highest level party member. I never realized how bad its stats were. It was level 63 when I beat Lance. Never used one in a team since. God, I can't believe that was almost 20 years ago.

There's just some kind of majesty to it. Its slenderness, its eyes, the leaves on it. It looks like it has lots of personality, like it's both powerful and intelligent. Dangerous, but won't go out of its way to ruin your day if you don't mess with it.

There's something unsettling about seeing it in battle, the way it floats, yet there's a strange beauty to it.

Its stats aren't the best, I know it's outclassed by lots of Pokémon, but Dragalge was always the cornerstone of my team. I literally bought Y instead of X just to get a Dragalge.

Back then, I never consider using a Ralts in my team. I skipped Hoenn and started with the Gen 1 remakes; I came back to pokemon in gen 4 with Pokemon Platinum when one of my friends brought me to the series and showed me his the one that stands out was Gallade. But, when I played Platinum when I evolved Kirlia, I was disappointed that I later found out from my friend that it was male-exclusive, and I was stuck with a Gardevoir and then in on my playthrough. She carried the team and did well for a psychic type and reminds me of my Kadabra in my first FireRed playthrough. Later in the years, I started to like pokemon lore and reading dex entries and begin to prefer Gardevoir for its lore, design, and battle prowess. If the pokemon world was real, I prefer to be safe than sorry in my journey.
