Continuing from the Smash Bros. Switch General Discussion thread, I've made this thread so everyone can share all of their favorite Pokémon of each type in a thread in a more fitting section of the forums. This is completely for fun, so the only rule is to not criticize everyone else's choices or flame each other or anything else along those lines. IMG_0717.JPG

I'll repost mine from the speculative thread, and since this one focuses on it, I'll even give reasons for each!


Grass = Bulbasaur. It's my favourite starter in general. I like it because others often pick Charmander or Squirtle, and I've just felt like it was the underdog, something I've related to. It's also pretty cute, and can become really effective in combat.

Fire = Braixen. Honestly it was a though call. I almost placed Ho-Oh, but then again, not that big of fan of Legendaries, both in game, and as favourites. Braixen more because it's a cool design, and I like it's typing. I never evolve it to Delphox tho. Just if I have to complete the "living dex".

Water = Poliwhirl. I just think it's really cute. It's something about the colour, it's nature, and how it fights. Just liked him for many years, really. Also I know he is in the manga, which is cool.

Normal = Tauros. My all-time favourite Pokémon, no doubt. Growing up with a temperamentive dissorder as a kid, I felt that Tauros who had a wild temper in game and in the anime was quite reflective, that, once tamed, they can be great resources, and powerful teammates. I felt like I had the will, and power of a Tauros. So, it gave some meaning.

Electric - Galavantula. When I first saw it I thought it was really cute, and then captured it, played with it, and figured out how effective it could be on my team during B-W2.

Psychic - Gardevoir. Despite all fan-art out there, this Pokémon does have a lot of great moves in game. While I hate training up a Ralts, I still enjoy it from Kirlia to Gardevoir, often being a very strong member of any team I use when it's in the party.

Fighting = Lucario. Hard to pick out a fighting type. I guess because of Smash I thought Lucario looked pretty epic. He is sort of a face in Pokémon, and that does have it's prize, I guess.

Rock = Archeops. Honestly, it's really powerful. Rock and Flight was a delight of a combination. It's cool, and I enjoy using it.

Ground = Hippodown. I thought it was a cool design once I saw it in Diamond & Pearl. I'm more fan of the Female version, where it's all black.

Flight = Murkrow. Perhaps also one of my all-time favourite Pokémon. While mischevious, it's also a loner, growing up a victim of bullying, I also often could relate as a loner. This made me, like with Tauros feel something for the bird, and I came to like it. (Yeah, I know, getting personal here, ahaha ... don't read too much into it.)

Bug = Like with Tauros, it was ill tempered in the Anime, which was one thing, but it was still so cute. Whenever I got him in the games, I always trained him high, and used Twineedle, as it's such a powerful move. Made a real great member of any team.

Poison = Seviper. It's design is really cool, and it has become one of my all-time favourite Pokémon. It got great Poison moves, and was an effective team member.

Dark = Spiritomb. I just think it looks pretty epic, and it was obscure in it's original game, which made it even more intriguing to find it, and use it in the games. Also, the whole "forbidden" Pokémon lore makes it even more epic. Reminds me a bit of Dhelmise from Sun & Moon which I also really like.

Ghost = Haunter. Might be because it was so frustrating or time consuming to get Gengar as a child, but I really like Haunter, it's more of a Ghost than anything, and using it in my game I'd spam "Hypnosis + Dream Eater" and became a killer on the road.

Ice = Walrain. Not an easy type to pick one out from. I do think he is mighty powerful, and that Spheal is cute. Not a sucker for Sealeo tho, therefore Walrain triumphs.

Steel = Metagross. Another not easy pick. While that's said, I still thought he was awesome. Remember using one in Emerald. He was badass, pluss he reminds me for some reason by the crane in the Brave Little Toaster, ahaha.

Dragon = Hydraigon. I do not really like Dragons too much. I think they are overpowered. Still, there is something about this dangerous creature that really makes me go; "Wow", and while he takes a long time of grinding to evolve, I still think it is worth it.

Fairy = Mimikyu. I honestly don't have much other options. I still think Mimikyu's design is interesting, and he was a fun new Pokémon for Sun and Moon.

Fighting was probably the hardest one. I wasn't sure on whether I want to Mienshao or Lucario to take that spot, but in the end I chose Lucario because I have more history with him and because I felt that I was neglecting Gen 4.

I excluded legendaries from selection because I don't want to be here all day.

Most of these are from a word document of my ideal Pokemon team, with some tweaking due to a lot of type overlap. Here are some explanations for the rest of them... (I'll give explanations for the other types later)
Normal- This was a difficult choice because there's a lot of really nice Normal types (Blissey, Castform, Porygon-Z, Zangoose...), but I settled on Noctowl because of the ones I like the most, Noctowl is the only I've actually had on an in-game team.
Fire- Cyndaquil is one of my favorite starters because they're cute, they can pretend to be a fireplace, and Johto becomes a cozy little jacuzzi to relax in if you pick the happy little fireball.
Ice- Is was a toss-up between either this or Glaceon. Ice is nice, but there aren't a lot of Pokes that do it justice besides those two and Regice.
Ghost- This was a toss-up between Pseudo-Benevolent Grim Reaper whom'st I used in XD, the personification of an abnormally-high Infant Mortality Rating taken form of weather balloon whom'st I'm using in Ultra Moon, and "Mr. Stark, I don't feel do good..." the Pokemon whom'st I used in my first non-rare-candy-polluted run of Pokemon White. I chose the first option, because although I have a lot of problems getting around Dusclops's Gen 3 movepool, Drifblim has been having serious survivability issues, and Chandelure doesn't hold a candle to the other two's designs.

EDIT: The list below is technically more accurate, but features a lot of redundancy because my absolute favorites have a lot of type overlap.

I've done something like this a while ago, so I did some digging on my Imgur albums and found it:



Yeah, I know three of the Pokemon appear twice in this list, but they just happen to be my favorites for both of the types they appear in.

I tried to avoid having any Pokemon show up twice here.

I usually stick with these guys when I play... I'm not overly fond of any fairy, bug or poison types so I picked the ones I semi-like.

Managed to find this from earlier, surprisingly it's still very accurate to how I feel now:



I avoided repeating Pokémon since I wanted to give the widest group of Pokémon I like.

I made one of these a while ago and probably deleted it, so I naturally had to make a new one and share it

Edit: stupid red x made me make another one. IMG_0247.JPG
