Personally, mine is joint first between Sandshrew (the cutest), Espurr (most relatable), and Gastrodon.
After those, in no particular order, I like Turtwig (best starter, fight me), the Roggenrola line (little rock guys), the Litwick line (candles and lamps with nefarious intentions), and Metagross (cool robot thing).
Kyogre is the best legendary in my opinion
I was talking to someone a month ago about this. I told them as a kid my favorite pokemon was charizard and as I got older it switched to dragonite. They said to me “so you really have a type huh?” I didn’t understand until I thought about it and realized charizard and dragonite share a lot of similarities. The former being edgier and the latter being cuter.
So apparently I really like large, orange dragons.
