agree
He's more fun that I expected. Darkest Lariat and Malicious 450 Splash have nice animations, too.
Without a doubt mimikyu. Absolutely love this thing, in my top 5 pokemon.

Love this guy too, in my top ten.

it's not that they've run out of ideas, it's that their new ideas are shit or poorly implemented is the problem.
Out of the ones you listed, maybe 4 of them aren't retarded.
I'm so glad they didn't give it shitmon stats.
I love turtles soooooo
Timid or Jolly Vikavolt?
>>30488315
Neither, you run itModestwith Trick RoomMimikyu
Aquaranid became my favorite of this gen, second place goes to Dhelmise and then vikavolt.
>>30485325
I want to say Vikavolt but I couldn't get my hands on one until LEVEL FUCKING 50, so the battery sat in the back of my bag for the entire game.
I'm gonna have to go with the little extinction event pokemon instead. He basically solo'd my entire run.
>>30485325
I'm sad that it has shit speed.
Look at that thing. It's from F-Zero.
And it doesn't even have Quiver dance.
It's special attack is amazing though, so at least something fits with it thematically.
Charjabug is a cutie though. I love everything about it. It's currently carrying my playthough team.
best dog
Xurkitree.
It's wiggly happy dance is too cute
>>30485325
He's cute, his design is cool, his typing is GOAT, and he's really fucking strong.
Damn shame he's a legendary, I would have loved to breed one.
>>30488651
also hey guys im retarded
>>30485325
Agreed.
>>30488226
this
>>30487462
It looks like Beaker.
It's cute cute cute. Mantises are my favorite creature, and I love the whole orchid mantis reversal concept. But I wish they gave it more love in the stats department. Or the move department. But I'll make it work.
>>30485325
>>30485325
Definitely the Toucan.
I want him to be viable
>>30485325
stufful! they're so cute!
>>30489128
what? hes very viable, doesn't need to be OU tier to be viable
>>30485325
I like Vikavolt so much that I'm making it a point to wonder trade box fulls of freshly evolved ones in the hopes that someone gets to actually use and enjoy it for the early/mid game.

Popplio is my new favorite starter

Beat me to it. I love this little fucker.
ミミッキュだよAlso Tsarneena, Sun Lycanroc, and Dhelmise
>>30489341
You're an hero
Waiting until basically-endgame to get the best mon in the game was the worst thing I've experienced in SM.
Call me a hipster but I honestly paid no attention to it when it was leaked/shown off but when I found out it had no evolution and everyone forgot about it, I decided to actually take a look at it. It's ability turned out to be great and doesn't have (complete) shitmon stats. I love my coma koala.

I'm with ya. I was neutral to Xurkitree when the demo was datamined, but seeing it in motion and using it in battle has easily made it one of my faves, if not THE fave of this gen. I especially like when it spreads its limbs out and you can really see the "tree" aspect of it
>colossal Sp. Attack
>creative design
>the added otherworldly feel of not having a face
>the swaying in its idle animation
>that one jittery idle animation
>its little dance in refresh
People need to make more fanart of it.
I named my Xurkses.
In addition to loving its design, I also had that sweet, sweet satisfaction in knowing that every autist who thought it was going to evolve into solrock/lunatone was BTFO badly.
