What is your Favorite Pokemon?
@Turambar: Not sure what you're on about with the cultural traits thing, however the first Marowak sprites in Pokemon don't seem to have the fused bone skull of its latter incarnations. Not sure if I'm seeing it wrong or if they changed it, and in that case maybe it was done to take attention away from the fact that the creature's skull would later be used as a helmet by its children. Then again I'm not sure if fusing said skull to its face was the best alternative. Man, Pokemon is kinda messed up.
One thing I thought was interesting was that some people have apparently theorized that a Cubone is a baby Kangaskhan that has lost its mother, and that Kangaskhan was originally going to be the final evolution of Cubone (There was also a theory that the Kangaskhan Marowak code was moved instead of being deleted and that this was the origin of MissingNo). I kind of like this idea because the whole thing comes full circle with the Kangskhan and the baby.
As things are now, how does EVERY Cubone having the skull of its mother make any sense? Best not to think about it.
That's what I meant by cultural trait. As the act of wearing the skull of one's mother is a pan-species habit, it can be considered part of the cubone culture.@Turambar: As things are now, how does EVERY Cubone having the skull of its mother make any sense? Best not to think about it.
Zangoose
EDIT: Although my old SC:BW handle was Aaron'sPsyduck so... there's that
Can't decide just one so I'll go by Gen.
- Gen I: Kingler
- Gen II: Dunsparce
- Gen III: Breloom/Wailord
- Gen IV: Honchrow
- Gen V: Volcarona
There's just so many good ones!

Mr. Mime is the only correct answer.Dang... I wasn't thinking about him. I also like Regigigas.
Wait, wait, wait. You call Gen V pokemon retarded, and then say Regigagas is cool? He's the fugliest motherfucker out there.
@FluxWaveZ: Wow thats really nice, The only bad one drawing is that Marowak one. A real head-scratcher that one.
Yeah my favourite ir probably feraligtr
I love the entire first two generations.
Favorite is hard to choose but my dream team would be Squirtle, Sentret, Lillipup/Herdier and Emolga.
I can't stand anything other than the first 2 generations. The ones in Black and White just piss me off because they're so awful. A vanilla ice cream cone pokemon? WHY? A lamp pokemon? WHY?
EDIT: Oh I forgot about the best one. A garbage bag pokemon that evolves into a broken garbage bag boken.

Sorry, but Chandelure is just the greatest Pokemon ever made.
I also don't really get those complaints. Is a lamp and an ice-cream cone any different than an egg or a magnet? Every generation has had it's bad/weird Pokemon and aside from the legendaries, I don't think there's been any drop in quality.

Sure, every generation has their bad ones. But I just got Black and I'm seeing an abnormal amount of absolutely ridiculous pokemon.
Pikachu probably. Always spent so damn long in viridian forest trying to get one of the pesky things each playthrough as a kid hehe.
Riolu/Lucario is pretty awesome though as far as the newer stuff goes. Begin to lose track of them all though post red and blue.
Alakazam, Charazard, and Arbok were almost always in my party.
Ready to get your mind blown? Ekans is just snake written backwards! I KNOW! Blew my mind when I discovered this too.

Ditto, because it can be any pokemon you want it to be. I would have it be a girl.
Thank god. I thought I was the only one who had that filthy dream as a kid.
Butterfree is the best. Confusion at Level 10? Yeah Brock didn't stand a chance I dunno why he even tried.
@crusader8463: What if I told you "kobrA" is Arbok spelled backwards?
@jyluth: @thebipsnbeeps: I had that one in there too, but I left it out since they had to change the c to a k to make it work. Not as mind blowing.
