Like you feel if you have met him later in time may be it wouldn't be your favorite now

Do you ever feel that you are attached to your favorite more for nostalgia and attachement than because you still think is the coolest one

I think you're overthinking this for nothing anon. A favorite is a favorite, you don't need to justify the reason

Yes. Politoed used to be my favorite but now it's Ludicolo and i'm steadily becoming more fond of Xurkitree, having your taste change is very much normal and you shouldn't worry about it.

Your tastes are going to change over time, especially if you're young. There's no need to overthink it. Your favorite will be your favorite for whatever reason at whatever time. Mine was Articuno when I first started playing Red and Blue, then it became Crobat, then Breloom, and so on.

Everyone's tastes change over the course of their lives so it's normal to feel burnt out on the same things I suppose. It happens with everything, food, music, clothing.

That being said, I don't think I'll ever get tired of Corsola.

I don't have a favorite, it usually changes depending on the game

I'd say what changes the most is the "most favourite"
like, it used to be Sceptile for me, no longer the case because... well, I played other games and found Pokemon I liked even more
and Sceptile is obviously still A favourite of mine, just not my most favourite anymore
also
>Do you ever feel that you are attached to your favorite more for nostalgia and attachement than because you still think is the coolest one
usually neither for me lol
like I don't care that say Mr.Rime or Dracovish come from a kusoge game, I just like the mons
I don't think they're the coolest mons either

Probably. You usually pick a favorite among those that are part of your first memories and then time solidifies it.
My first contact with pokémon was ashnime and Pokémon Red, so my favorite is from Kanto because it was a pokémon that I could use in the games and see in the anime.
If my first contact was playing White it is unlikely my favorite would still be the same pokémon when I would have no type of experience with it.

It's odd, I haven't used my favourite (Crobat) since HGSS released. Can I still call it my favourite?

Do you like it more than the other pokémon?
It is your favorite if you like it more, not if you are constantly checking in.

Only doubts I have is if Game Freak will ever give Tyrantrum any biting moves for it to have STAB on.

My favorites are Noivern and Magneton. I didn't use either of them until Ultra Moon or later. I do not have concerns about them.

Nah
You could put Latios next to any Pokemon and I’d still think “Damn, that’s cool”

I did have my doubts on Emboar due of all the hate he gets and for a while, I did felt that I was the only one that liked him and simply out of nostalgia.
Emboar was the one of the first pokemon I've seen in video game form, before I truly got into the series, and I thought that it was cool looking off the bat. When I bought BW, I picked Tepig because I had a Tepig toy and I promised myself to catch one(I also didn't know that you get three starter choices at the time, I just thought that you start off with Pikachu). So, I was surprised that he evolved into Emboar and I grew so attached to him throughout the game that he became my #1 favorite pokemon.
But throughout the years, all the Tepig family gets is hate and is consistently ranked as the least popular starter in every poll. The straw for me was the Google Polls, where none of the family was in the Top 30 of Unova pokemon, the least voted region. Sure, Chespin family didn't make it in either, but at least Chespin's in the Top 100 Japan Merch while Tepig was the only starter ever that didn't make it. Either way, the unfathomable hate for this line really gave me alot of doubt. There was even a time where I kinda wished that Chimchar or Charmander was my first pokemon, and I started using and caring about Infernape more.
But then, I replayed BW, shiny hunted Tepig in Unova, saved some art, and bought some merch of the Tepig family and that made me rekindled my love for Emboar.
