ITT: Your favorite Pokemon when you were a kid.
movie birb
>>31331591
Bulbasaur and Gyarados
>>31331591
Charizard, then Mew
Alomomola
Heracross. Although I think it's because it reminds me of a Megaman boss.
>pic very much related.
Still my favorite. Almost every game I always make sure to have one on my team.
>>31331591
Still is
>>31331591
Aggron
>>31331591
I only liked the shiny version because I was a special snowflake
Porygon.
I never even used it in battle and the episode didn't air here but I still liked the design.
>>31331619
This and Entei
Pikachu. Kind of wish Pikachu hadn't become so mainstream.
>>31331591
It was this little fucker until gen 2 ruined the line. Luckily gen 3 provided many new favorites to replace it.
>>31331704
>lucario
>>kid
>>31331640
I really dont understand why someone would pick it as their favourite beyond trying to be different.
summoning my favorite tripfag
>>31331781
Whats wrong with Kingdra?
>>31331796
>being this new
>>31331815
It's an ugly blobby mess, like much of gen 2. It completely kills the line's aesthetic. Dragalge executed the same concept far more competently.
>>31331796
>le unironic unovabortion face
Welcome to the board, kiddo.
>>31331791
>calling him out but not the guy who posts Torterra
The Lucario hate meme is real, huh?
Diamond and Pearl got released in 2007, didn't they? Someone who got it when they were 12 would be over 18 by now and I still considered myself a kid when I was 12.
While still A Favorite, it isn't top dog anymore.
>>31331868
2009.
>>31331642
My favorite too. Spent my first major bipolar depressive episode at 12 or so with that bro. Good times, shit stat distribution.
Look at this goodamn edgemon
>>31331868
>>31331879
I remember being the only kid at school to know about these before they hit the States because my dad brought a CoroCoro mag back from a business trip.He also got me a Lucario plush, and I had no idea what the fuck it was
>>31331896
Kabrotops is underrated.
>>31331898
I'm so sleep deprived I flipped a 6 into a 9.
>>31331928
Fair enough anon. Get some sleeps. People here also forget that DP was released 11 years ago, so almost everyone that played it as a kid is an adult now. I'm just glad I didn't fuck up too much while I was shitposting here over the years, found this place around 10 or 11.That feel when my ambien prescription ran out last night and insurance won't pay for a while
>>31331591
Good taste op, though was always a poliwag man myself. I also really liked vaporeon (do to this card) and starmie. I guess I just like water types a lot.
Also
>kids who grew up with gen 4 are posting on 4 Chan
>kids who grew up with gen 4 have jobs/are in collage and have wives and houses
I'm not mad it just feels weird ya know?
I love Typhlosion!
Vulpix/Growlithe/Eevee
>>31331591
Venusaur. Still is.
But the first Pokémon I got to Level 100 was Meganium in Crystal.
>>31331796
newfag detected
>>31331591
You already posted it, so here's number two.
>>31331985
Great taste.
I didn't have any gen 1 bros but the mareep line was my favorite
>>31331791
Dp is almost 11 years old and lucarios been around before that
>>31332045
>Someone who was 10 when they played DP can now drink
Vaporeon until gen 7, now it's A-Ninetales
>>31331591
A friend in elementary got one of those books that had all the new pokemon before we got the games in the US and this was the first fucker that caught my eye.
>>31331591

>>31331879
That was Platinum
always been my favourite
>>31331591
>favorite has been the same since childhood
Poliwhirl was my favorite when I was kid and that never changed.
>>31332157
same, quickly replaced by sneasel when gen II dropped
This happy little guy
>>31332255
I've never been a big fan of gen 2, but I've always had a soft spot for Wooper.
Piplup. I always love the cute ones.
>>31331823
I'm genuinely offended by this shit taste.
I can't believe I'm the first one to post Zard.
You guys were contrarians even when you were kids?
>>31331591
I didn't have a favorite in RBY so the first one I actually loved was Meganium. Still love it despite how bad of a Mon it is.
>>31332501
Read the thread.
The only kid I knew who liked Charizard was fat and a shitty person
>>31332220
Eh, it's still one of my favorites. I hate weasels in real life so sneasel didn't do much for me. They're like the crappy version of Ferrets.
>>31332501
No I liked Zard
It's just that I prefered Gyarados, Entei, Lugia, and a few others over Zard
Still used him a lotin Stadium because I didn't play main-series until Diamond
I remember grossing my grandmother out with it all of the time on Stadium. She preferred Oddish, and actually had a Vileplume on her team when she beat the E4. I keep one named after her in my box in every game I can, (as soon as you can trade up) and have grown fond of it but still love my little walking mushroom more.
>>31332501
My cousin liked Charizard, and he'd always dress up as one for Halloween, which was funny because he was MORBIDLY obese so he just looked like an orange Kool-Aid man. It really put me off from Zard desu.
>>31331642
>>31331704
>>31331880
Leave underage
>>31332711
2006 was 11 years ago.
Lucario was first shown in 2005, 12 years ago.
If you were 7 when you first played DP you'd be allowed to post now.
>>31332486
Tell me more about your nostalgia goggles, Johtoddler.
>>31332731
>2006 was 11 years ago
shut the fuck up
>>31331823
Horsea is blobbier and Dragalge is uglier.
>>31332769
Look at an calendar old man
Like probably half of pokemon fans at the time
This dopey motherfucker. Looking at him now, he's kinda terrifying. But still cool.
>>31331956op here, vaporeon and starmie are amount my top 5 favorites
c-can we be friends
>>31332075
Time is hard to grasp, isn't it old man?
>>31332174
>Kid
KANTOKIDS GET OFF MY BOARD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Mermaid doggo was one of my faves back then.
>>31332075
>>31333140
> tfw you played pearl as a junior in high schoo
>>31332672
No, they're the COOL version of Ferrets.Get it? Because ice is cool? I should probably chill with the puns before you guys start to give me the cold shoulder.
>>31331963
I actually hate Typhlosion nowadays but it was my favorite when I was a kid.
>>31333176
Your puns are nice but weasels are still vermin.
>>31332775
Nah, what you mean to say is Horsea is rounder. It's not a formless blob with random tentacles hanging off and fucking brickwork on its belly like Kingdra is. The pieces that go into its design have a purpose.
Similarly, Dragalge's "ugliness" is just conveying its venomousness. It doesn't have a hideous dildo snout, and its protrusions actually vaguely resemble seaweed, making it effective at the leafy sea dragon aesthetic Kingdra so utterly failed to portray.
If only Game Freak had the good sense to make Kingdra a side evolution, where it could be safely forgotten like pointless branch evos like Bellossom and Slowking instead of ruining a great line. Or better yet, just cut it entirely. It wasn't good enough for RBGY, GSC being rushed is no excuse to dig out literal garbage.
>>31333239
Damn, no way I can weasel my way out of that one. You really foxholed me.
>>31332640
My nigga.
Cutebone
>>31333291
anon why
"Look Mom! It's fat and white just like me!"
I still do like Aggron, but not nearly as much. As a kid, it was the best thing I'd ever seen. Metal monster. Now, it's just a good looking metal monster with a lot of unnecessary and pointy details.
>>31332501
I would've posted it, but it's STILL my favorite, so I don't think it counts.
And never expect /vp/ to like Zard. Most of it is just too assblasted it got 2 Megas while no one gave any shits about their favorites.
>>31331796
1. It's a reference. Lurk more.
2. Even if it wasn't, people can have different tastes than you, you know. People who think people with unique taste are "trying to be different" are so annoying. Lumineon is my third favorite Pokémon, fucking fight me.
>tfw didn't have a favorite until HGSS despite starting with Red
>>31332255
bestmon
It was Starmie ever since I first saw it as a kid, I'm 21 now and Primarina has replaced it.
>>31331591
the swirl is smaller in exchange for bigger fists
>>31333572
I really liked Starmie too. it reminded me of the water level in Sonic CD.
Still haven't used it in-game though, there's too many other water types I like more.
>>31331898
I remember my friends and I found a bootlegs strategy guide for Gold/Silver before they had been officially acknowledged in the States. For years, I couldn't remember the English names of the Gen2 Pokemon because I had drilled the Japanese names in my head. I even had trouble remembering Shuckle's name not too long ago and had to draw him for my wife for her to understand who the fuck "TsuboTsubo" was.
>>31331591
>>31333604
Starmie is one of the most consistenyl reliable Pokémon with great coverage. No wonder it was OU for 6 generations.
>>31333572
>its new 3D model doesn't have bendy arms and the rear barely rotates
dissappointing desu
>>31334487
T H I S
why are the models from 20 years ago so much better then now?
also espeon should always be sitting down, it looks better that way
He was just a big doofy oaf and I loved him.
>>31332711
>Implying any of these are not adults now
>Implying you never posted underage
>>31331642
>>31331704

lmao you're still kids so it doesn't count
The one pokemon to rule them all coming through
>>31331687
Best eeveeloution
I always have one in my team too
>>31333477
>tfw my friends always made me pretend to be a Snorlax when we played, even though one of them was at least twice my weight.
>>31333572
>>31333604
That's Staryu, retards.
>>31335438
>Literally 18
Smell ya later, gramps!
>>31335991
I always get them mixed up.
10/10 made me look it up
>>31336051
You will grow up to be gay
>>31333608
>wife
Well, that's not something I'll ever be able to relate to.
I was showing "Max" the centerfold of Dialga and Palkia and asked what he thought their names were (he was Asian, sue me). He said verbatim, "I don't know, but I'm calling that one *points to Palkia* Entei." I flew into the most autistic, indignant rage over the fact that its name was obviously not Entei, and he kept dismissing me. I was so angry because he wasn't trying to piss me off; I was a bit ahead mentally then (but God knows not socially), and that kind of childish lack of concern with accuracy frustrated the shit out me. He nicknamed his Palkia "Entay" once the games came out. The normie fuck didn't even know he spelt it wrong.
>>31336052
Thanks, I try.
Gardevoir was my favorite in sapphire
Too bad it's been replaced in the meta by a certaincutie
... and maybe it still is.
>>31331591

>>31331760
>Kind of wish Pikachu hadn't become so mainstream.
>become
>Was blatantly the series mascot from the beginning
>Literally designed to be the posterchild of Pokemon
>Shit-tonne of merch since forever
Pikachu was never not mainstream.
>>31336651
Wrong. None of them were designed to be the mascot besides arguably the starters. Clefairy was the initial choice for Ash's first Pokemon, but focus groups determined that Pikachu was the most popular. It's design was not significantly altered besides MAYBE the dark patches on its feet.
>Shit-tonne
>tonne
Get BTFO britbong
>>31331760
Pikachu has a very appealing and marketable design.
Popularity attracts derisiveness from people who feel that Pikachu takes away from attention that would otherwise be given to their favorite, but in reality, Pikachu is just incredibly well known to the point of being a near household name and synonymous with "Pokemon" so they use it as much as possible.
I love Pikachu too.
>>31332640
This, first mon I leveled up to 100. Being that I was 7 and retarded, it had both cut and strength.
>>31336712
how long did that even last though
Wasn't the anime released in very close proximity to the American game releases?
So much competition nowadays, but this was by and far my favorite during Gen I.
>>31332731
>/vp/ is now filled with old men
how do you losers feel?
>>31331591
first
then gentoo crobat stole my heart
It switched around a lot, but for a long while it was Onix.
Even as a kid I always liked bulky Pokemon. Onix had the highest Defense in the game (besides Cloyster but I never knew that), so it must be the bulkiest Pokemon, right? Brock would always go on about his "ROCK HARD DEFENSE" and his Onix was a pain to take down, I wanted one for myself. (I had no idea what Special/Sp. Def was back then.)
Plus, Brock's Onix was like the coolest thing in the anime.
>>31331591
Gengar. Still is, too.
anytime i play a new gen1 run i make sure i dont finish without bringing a vileplume to the elite4
he and bulbasaur cemented my appreciation for status effects and grass types for every game afterwards, cant bring myself to pick anything but grass starters anymore
>>31332711
>>31331791
>>31335438
21 actually
>>31336933
Honestly I don't disagree with you that much, just felt like shitposting
>>31337940
I'm not >>31336651
>>31338363
but you both posted as Anonymous
>>31338393
Well yeah I'm not blaming you for that mistake
>>31338413
Hot diggity. Thank you for not victim blaming.
>>31331823
Gen 2 is blobby? lmao fuck off. Gen 2 is the ultimate.
>>31331591

I feel like playing Pokemon is the only thing that hides my pain.
I don't show that it gets to me because Cubone get get over death.
So can I.
Lugia
This, Zapdos, and the Bulbasaur line were my favorite pokemon as a kid.
>Everyone hates him
>I loved him bcs he's basically a person
>enjoyed the idea of owning a person
>went on ancestry.com last year
This is all completely true.
>ancestors were slave owners
>>31331591
I just thought she was the softest to cuddle. I spent an eternity trying to find one on Mt. Moon and when I finally found it I literally screamed with joy. Then I accidentally killed it.
>>31331626
She became my favorite from the Ruby Sapphire generation. Then she got Mismagius in the next game and made her more viable. Prior to that I was Pain-Splitting, Mean-Staring, Perish-Songing the hell out of dudes just for fun.
I still love this blob
Still my favorite fossil
>>31331591
Umbreon. I still remember seeing it for the first time, it was on a poster in a toy shop and I instantly fell in love with the design. Used to wreck my buddies' teams when we battled too. Still is my favorite
Garbage in literally every sense of a viable pokemon but hooooooooooooooly moly 6th grade me loved this pokemon.
I got interested in Pokemon when a friend showed me this card. He's always been one of my favorites.
>>31331956
My man
Poliwag was my favorite because I thought it was cute
I remember I had a Poliwag toy that could squirt water that I would play with in the bathtub when I was little
I was also always fond of the Water types
I had holy trio:
Gloom, Hunter and Pinsir.
>>31331591
Raichu and Mewtwo pretty evenly.
My first pokemon game was yellow when I was 5, so Pikachu is an obvious one. Also Tauros, Snorlax, Primeape, Aerodactyl and Lapras.
>>31343237
The greek one should be poor instead

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>31331591
First Pokemon figurine
I legit have no idea.
It was a giant angry snake made out of fucking rocks. I thought that was super cool and had no right to be a jobber.
>>31336651
Pikachu wasn't mainstream in my country when I first played the game.
I played a Japanese ROM of Blue before Pokemon came to the United States. So a character I already liked became mainstream before my eyes.
>>31331850
the fact of the matter is he literally said he was underage
>>31335991
faggot
>>31344002
Why not pic related then?
>>31351940

>>31352327
The thread isn't for your current favorite, you fucking retard. In context, you are saying that when you were a kid, your favorite used to be Gengar and shifted to Minior while you were still a kid.
Basic fucking reading comprehension.
>>31352460
you'll get over it i promise

Best bird.
Still the best
>>31343634
>hides my pain.
>Cubone get over death
Guess that's why Cubone wears the mask, so he doesn't show how hurt he really is.
Also
>She gets a job at walmart
That's your first mistake there.
It's pretty common that Walmart house mostly fuck up people like that.
If you want easy pussy, get a job at Walmart.
It's like they hire hoes.
>>31336986

Zard and Mewtwo.
Contrarian honorable mention: Kabutops.
