My first ever post was on my top ten favorite Mega Pokemon and you guys seem to like it a lot so today I'm going with my top ten favorite Pokemon over all. This list will include a little about their battling (if the Pokemon are any good at fighting,) but this will mostly be my opinions on each, be it from the ingame lore, what they symbolize, my memories of some, and sometimes just downright coolness.
10. Slowbro
Slowbro is one of those Pokemon that was just designed to be on the internet. The Hermit Crab Pokemon has just the derpiest look on its face and is supposedly really dumb. Ingame it is said to no longer feel pain and this makes sense as it is a Defense oriented Pokemon. Over all, this is a silly Pokemon that is getting a sillier Mega From.9. Mawile
Mawile is one of those Pokemon that people thought was cool but never really used in battles until she got her Mega form (more on that in my past post: My Favorite Pokemon Megas.) Her Steel/Fairy typing is also one of my favorite type combinations and only has only two type weaknesses. Shes also a little sentimental to me since a Mawile was my first Steel type I had in the Pokemon Trading Card Game.
8. Furfrou
I like dogs. I like Pokemon. Furfrou is a Pokemon dog, do I need to explain any more? And with solid stats and the Fur Coat ability that halves physical damage the Poodle Pokemon is seeing some battles and is popular because ingame you can change Furfrou's hairstyle. Seriously just Google Image search "Furfrou" if you want to know what I mean.
7. Mightyena
Mightyena was my original dog Pokemon, I know there was the Arcanine line in Gen 1, but Mightyena wasn't on fire and is just cooler in my humble opinion. Their Pokedex entries focuses around what I consider the most important thing to me: loyalty. His stats aren't that great though but I'm crossing by fingers for a mega evolution for him.
6. Gardevoir and Gallade
I couldn't decide between the two of these Pokemon because they are both cool. These two kind of represent the princess-that-doesn't-need-saving in Gardevoir and the fearless knight in Gallade. Both are good battlers and with both having mega evolutions the mage and the knight are a force to be reckoned with.
5. Braviary
I'm an American and Braviary is pretty much the Pokemon version of the Bald Eagle. They have gained the reputation of being a terrifying enemy if its friends are attacked so they are definitely loyal and they have gained the nickname "soldiers of the sky." With a good Attack stat and the Defiant hidden ability Braviary proves that maybe some Japanese game devs know about what makes America great.
4. Vaporeon
Vaporeon is the picture I use for my profile pic so of course she would be one of my favorite Pokemon. Vaporeon is a pretty calm Pokemon that pretty much just likes to hang out on beautiful beaches. Her stats aren't that bad either, with the highest Hit Points of the eeveeluctions and a good Special Attack as well. And to me Vaporeon is the cutest of the Pokemon that can Eevee evolve into. 3. Cubone
Like Bane said: "nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask." Cubone is an interesting Pokemon; his back-story is just that his mother died and now wears her skull as a mask and every full moon, it cries for its dead mother. Just... just why Gamefreak? Why did you give this adorable Pokemon such a sad story, just why? And in another way I needed Cubone. I found one in Pokemon X and I didn't have the heart to do anything but add him to my team and he has been amazing; being both the first of my Pokemon to be fully fit with Super Training, and the first to be fully my friend with Pokemon-Amie. So I guess the Lonely Pokemon made me less lonely.
2. Lucario
If Gallade is the Lancelot of Pokemon then Lucario is King Arthur. Lucario is just a cool Pokemon, his Fighting/Steel typing is unique to him and Cobalion and he can sense the auras of people and Pokemon miles away. This Pokemon is so well known for his connection with aura that any other Pokemon that uses the move Aura Sphere looks like its trying to be Lucario. It takes a lot of skill to make a move know to most legendary Pokemon almost a signature move, and Lucario does it.
1. Torterra
Torterra is hands down my favorite Pokemon. My first Pokemon ever was a Turtwig named Leafy. Even without that sentimentally Torterra is a cool Pokemon and has the highest Attack of the Grass types and can learn several moves with a type advantage to his weakness, all of which are physical. And despite his terrifying appearance it lets smaller Pokemon live their whole lives on his back. So hes got great stats, a good sentimentality with me, and is one of the most chill Pokemon ever.
I'm curious what you guy's favorite Pokemon is. Send me your favorite Pokemon to my G+ account: The Knight with #CGpokemon
