When you get asked your favorite Pokemon do you answer based

Design, sometimes during Nuzlockes I'll get a new appreciation for a Pokemon however, even if they still aren't good competitively.

It's the same answer to both

Bit of both, but mostly design

Same for both, because Raikou is good.

Excellent taste amigo. Worthy of those dubs

if "pikachu i guess" isn't your quick-hand answer to this question then you are a super autist and should seriously consider suicide

I love this guy

I've never done a nuzlocke and don't feel the need to. Pokemon's main draw for me is the variety.

I still use set though.

>>25728154
I like most of my favorite Pokemon based on design and pokedex entries

>>25728154
Both, but my overall favorite is Natu.

>>25728154
I mostly base it off of design, but if a 'mon is fun to use, than can affect my opinion.

Example: I didn't like Darmanitan at all until I used one in White 2. After using it for that playthrough I actually like it a whole lot more.

>>25728154
Design.

always been scyther baby

>>25728154
Probably Design.
I'm not really into competitive stuff.

Design and overall concept/character (i.e. Before the Mega, I thought Altaria being a weaker/weather based dragon was 2kewl regardless of viability)

But when you're blessed and your fave gets a tier-defining mega Evo that's great too

lmaoing @ your life

>>25728154
Design of course. Sudowoodo being my favorite should tip anyone off to what I mean anyway T.T

Why would in-game viability have anything to do with it? If anything it should be competitive viability because any pokemon can be used effectively in-game at some point. Some may not be as useful late game but early game even a Sunkern could be good. But to answer your question I base my favorites purely on design. Over the last couple years more designs have been growing on me so I've been trying new mons. Magneton, Aggron and Beautifly really shined when I used them.

How the fuck does that answer OP's question? Why the fuck should being the mascot magically make everyone like the damn rat?
