PM1 partners or PM2 partners?

[Mr. Wiggles]

Which partners do you prefer from the other in the Paper Mario games?

Goombario or Goombella?
They're both basically the same but I lean towards Goombella a bit more since she didn't become extremely weak and useless later in the game plus she had more character development.

Kooper or Koops?
Kooper for this one. He had stronger attacks and though didn't have much of an ambition, still showed it in the end.

Bombette or Bobbery?
Bobbery > Bombette. Simple as that. He had a better character design, reeked of awesomeness, and was pretty strong. Personally, Bombette felt like the stalest character in Paper Mario.

Lady Bow or Flurrie?
They were both pretty weak but I have to side with Lady Bow since she had more physical attacks and was a pretty entertaining character.

I'm not sure who is who's counterparts for the rest of the partners so until someone has a pretty clear idea on who's each others counterpart, I'll remain on the side.

So who do YOU prefer?

 

[Red Paratroopa]

Okay, + = 1 point, - = -1 point.

Paper Mario:

Goombario: +, I just like the Tattle Ability
Kooper: +, Great attacks
Bombette: +, Why not?
Parakarrry: +, 'Cause he's cool like that (I often used him as a partner)
Lady Bow: -, Didn't like her attacks
Watt: -, Was she really necessary on the field?
Sushie: +, Good water attacks
Lakilester: -, I could never do that one attack of his

Paper Mario 2:

Goombella: +, Same reason as Goombario
Koops: +, He reminded me of me
Flurrie: -, No good attacks IMO
The Yoshi: +, It's a Yoshi, c'mon!
Vivian: +, Fire attacks were great, I always used her as my partner
Bobbery: +, Because everyone else seems to likes him
Ms. Mowz: -, Not that useful, I mean really

Final score: 2 to 3. Paper Mario 2 wins!

"It''s impossible this way!"

Goombario or Goombella:
Pretty much a tie. Goombario and Goombella pretty much did the same exact things, except Goombella gave Mario the ability to attack again in the same turn provided she was upgraded to that point.

Kooper or Koops:
Koops, definitely. Why? Maybe because if you timed it correctly, Koops would do one of those headspinning breakdance moves.

That, and I thought Kooper was a little too obsessed with Kolorado.

And I prefer the color Green over Blue.

Bombette or Bobbery:
I thought Bombette was cooler, her field ability could be used as a first strike if timed really good.

Parakarry or Yoshi:
One of Parakarry's attacks (forget the name, but it's basically an airborne version of Kooper's and Koops' Shell attack-things) was very effective, I used him for fighting 3 of the 8 bosses (Tutankoopa, The Crystal King, and Bowser).

Bow or Vivian:
Bow just looks cooler.

Lakilester, Flurrie, Sushie, Watt, Ms. Mowz
Seeing as none of these other partners have anything in common, I really can't say who is better.

I liked Goombario over Goombella. I don't know why.
Koops > Kooper. Koops's spinning shell on the overworld was totally cool.
Bobbery > Bombette, any day!!! He's really strong.
Yoshi > Parakarry. His color was random, and you cold name him, and he's a yoshi. I always wished a little yoshi would join the party in PM.
Vivian > Bow. I thought it was cool how she pulls you into a shadow instead of just making you invisible.
Watt was one of the most useful PM partners. She could penetrate defense.
Sushie was lost by "Paper Boat." Oh,well.
Lakilester was cool! Flurrie was not! She looked all wrong with no clothes and talked all stupid.
