Favorite Pokemon?
Black and White have been out in Japan for a while now but for us here in America we're about to get are first taste of the 5th gen in March. The new Pokemon in this generation will bring the grand total up to 649.
That's a lot.
It started to get me thinking. "What are my favorite Pokemon?" There are plenty to choose from, and throughout Pokemon's extensive history the lineup has changed but I finally came up with my top five favorite Pokemon and a brief history of how they became my favorites.
When Pokemon came out there was one monster that appealed to me more than any of the others...Charizard.
Indeed, many other people at the time would join me in saying Charizard is their favorite. How can you not like a fire breathing, orange dragon with a steely expression and burning tail. The fact that this beast evolved from your started Pokemon was just the icing on the cake. He also came with awesome moves like flamethrower and fire blast. Charizard was cool and was without a doubt my favorite pokemon.
And it remained that way all though the 2end generation. Typhlosion came close but it just couldn't beat the awesomeness of Charizard.
A few years later and we come to the 3rd generation. All of a sudden Charizard had competition for coolest dragon. Monsters like Rayquaza and Salamence were pretty awesome.
I still liked Charizard better but I could now say that it was a close lead between him and Rayquaza. there was also another Pokemon I liked that wasn't a dragon although it was still powerful. The Pokemon Metagross also held a certain appeal for me.
Still Charizard was me favorite. I just couldn't let the old guy go.
That was about to change when the 4th gen came out. Garchomp was the coolest thing I had ever seen in a Pokemon game and with out a doubt he took the place of Charizard.
At this point I'm sure you realize I have a thing for fairly powerful Pokemon. What can I say...they're awesome! But as the 4th gen progressed I found myself liking another Pokemon by the name of Weavile. In fact I liked him so much I started to realize he was even cooler than Garchomp. I decided Weavile was my favorite Pokemon.
There was just something about the typing, the looks, and the characteristics that made Weavile awesome. However, the top spot was about to change again when Platinum came out and the Pokemon Scizor gained the new move bullet punch.
This guy was the reason I started to win more and more battles. Add that with a wicked look and a powerful gaze that means business, needles to say I feel in love with Scizor.
So the final roundup of my favorite Pokemon looks like this.
So, what are some of your guys favorite Pokemon and why?
