Fuck Baton Pass. Ninjask is cute though.

Wooly crab

>>31028757
It's the other way around
I was so sure Tapus share Oricorio typing and it would be Fire/Fairy

I liked whole line when Gen 5 was new. A shame Dewottfags still won't shut the fuck up though. It's evolution isn't that bad, just unexpected.

Leafeon's my favorite newfound bro this gen. Mimikyu, Salazzle, Mareanie and Incineroar are most applicable for the latest round.

>>31029420
I'm almost starting to like this guy too, it's not my style but I can still appreciate it.

>>31028757
Alola Muk. My post ga,e leftover set got me through the battle tree

>>31028848
Try running a Choice Band set with Infiltrator. It's fun just U-Turning into things and chunking their HP. Just make sure rocks stay off the field.

Pic related is mine, the official reveals really sold it.

I thought all the Tapus were lame as fuck. It turns out Lele chan is the bestest and most cutest but the rest are shit though.

>>31031363
It's evolution is pretty fucking bad.

>>31028757
I ended up with an adamant natured one of these on the first try. I've decided that he's to be a vital part of my doubles teams in the battle tree. And yes, I'm saying teams because I really don't want the same NPC every ten rounds once I finally make it to super.

Hate is too strong a word for what I felt when Minior was revealed. I just wasnt a fan. Ended up with one on my team to fill out a 6th member without repeating types and I fell in love with the little guy.

I felt neutral to all the Tapu when they first got leaked, but after seeing Lele up close and in motion, I think she's one of the cutest Pokemon in a long time.

i didnt really hate it,
more shocked by the sudden change from A-Meowth to A-Persian ,
but now its pretty Lovable.
regular persian was already in my top 20 Alolan probably pushed it higher.

A good amount of gen 5

I like how it's very different from it's non Aloan counterpart. Instead of a recolored Persian, its a different Persian entirely. Different people are going to like it, because it's variation of a species with a different character and personality. Thats the beauty of species variations.

Bewear. I came to like it after the hugging people to death revelation.

The revelation of her size and the spooky fanart really won me over

Fanart also made me like Pheromosa as well.

This thing. Salandit is my favorite pokemon of all time, and salzzle was just kind of weird. A combination of using one in game and seeing her walking animations (she's a big monitor lizard; tripods to survey her surroundings/look imposing, walks/runs on all fours) made me like her. She's pretty cool.

The godawful gen 3 sprite simply didn't do it's design any justice. It's now my favorite starter.

I gotta admit, when the Pokedex sprites were mined, I had no idea it was even supposed to be a woman in a dress. I couldn't tell what it even was, I just thought it was some big pyramid-shaped creature. But seeing its actual details made me like it a lot more, along with knowing all the inspiration that went behind its design (the story of the Bamboo Cutter + naming a rocket after the princess from said story). How they managed to blend all these design concepts so well is amazing to me.

This is sweet irony since both Franky and Crabrawler lookes better before their "upgrade"

>>31028757
Almost every single gen 7 Pokemon, honestly. There are really only 2 or 3 that I outright dislike now, but when they were still being revealed, I was lukewarm to, or hated, everything except a good handful of them.

>>31040482
I used to fucking love Franky and his "cola replaced with not-cola" gag, but his fucking upgraded form is the most boring character on the show now.

Good thing my favorite character in the whole show is Sogeking

Hated the whole evolution line when I first saw it. Didn't end up in my final party, but I ended up having to use it for a while and it became my bro.

>>31035330
From what aspect?

>>31035293
This guy, I hated him through the leaks and when he was first revealed but now he's my baby,

The problem with fanart is that it can make virtually anything look good. I started to avoid judging Pokemon based on the available fanart for that reason.
