Squirtle has always been my favorite, because he's who I originally chose when I first got Pokémon Red. I suppose I also like the strange ones like Mr. Mime and the like.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon

My favorite is Wooper

My favorite pocket monster as a kid was Koffing oddly enough. Now I think I like Pikachu, just because.

Not many people like it for its obese and slightly disgusting appearance in the first games, but my favorite Pokémon is Gengar. We had some good times together in LeafGreen, like wiping out the Elite Four when none of my other Pokémon were up to the challenge. He was called KB Ghost, and he was the first Pokémon I got up to Level 100.

I think we've had this discussion before, but I prefer Haunter for the disembodied hands.

I forgot all about Chinchou and Lanturn. That type combination is so darned cool.

Well I was mainly joking about that one. Most wouldn't consider glitches like 'M and myself to be real Pokémon.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon

missingno. (the pokemon), however is still a useful glitch.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon

Missingno Wasn't it a rumor to be in brawl?
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: BP on June 09, 2008, 06:23:56 PM
Using Missingno. in the game to multiply items be cheating. Guess it doesn't matter since no one plays Red and Blue competitively anymore, but looking at the last post of yours, I fear I don't like your style...
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: Turtlekid1 on June 11, 2008, 07:48:15 AM
If you're talking to me:

We already know you don't like my style.
http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11335.0

But about the topic at hand, I've never even used missingno.
It's just a fact that it's useful, cheating or not.  Unless every one I've talked to who has used the glitch is lying.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: Ambulance Y on June 11, 2008, 12:50:09 PM
I actually remember my old childhood chum showing me how to get Missingno, but I think it screwed up my game somehow.

Judging by description, I'm saying he is talking about PORYGON.

The first gen. You might have not seen it because you skipped the place where you can spend a few weeks getting coins to buy this Pokemon.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: Luigalaxy on June 13, 2008, 08:01:43 PM
Porygon is freaking RARE. You have to get, like, 9999 coins or something to get him. Thats why. They also have Proygon Z! The demented "baby" of Porygon 2.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: Lizard Dude on June 14, 2008, 01:08:20 AM
And yet another joke ruined by post retcon.

(And you had better bet your bouncing booty I had a PORYGON.)

Porygon is the best thing ever! Seizure Flash is my favorite move!

It seems like they're building up towards Platinum with all these Legendary give-aways; first Darkrai, now Deoxys (I never got Darkrai, though...

I never achieved Darkrai either :( I was out of town that weekend. I'll definitely get Deoxys though.

Based on looks alone, because I don't like the Pokemon games. I tried one once, and it's just too much level grinding for me. Of what little I played of the first Pokemon game, I seemed to like Spearow.

1. Mightyena (#262)
2. Arcanine (#59)
3. Vulpix (#37)
4. Pidgey (#16)
5. Miltank (#241)
6. Ho-oh (#250)
7. Cubone (#104)
8. Buizel (#418)
9. Murkrow (#198)
10. Bidoof (#399)
11. Nidorina (#30)
12. Leafeon (#470)
13. Eevee (#133)
14. Xatu (#178)
15. Numel (#322)

So that's 6 from first generation, 4 from second generation, 2 from third generation, and 3 from fourth generation.

There's Pokedexes all over the place, but here's the one (http://www.pokemon.com/Pokedex/flash.asp) I was just using. Only goes up to Pokemon #490.

Which is more valuable? Something "rare*" that's strong the moment you get it, or something relatively common you spend time and put thought into? Legends subtract one of the main things that keeps Pokémon interesting: customization. Your list of favorites, TK, is just about the most abominably generic and uncreative thing I've ever seen. Don't feel targeted when I say that. Loads of people are just like you. I was, too, a while back. When I'd pay no attention to anything but my starter and legends. When I'd avoid battles. But the sad part is, I'd probably lose to your robotic death squad even if I could somehow get my FireRed team or Ruby team to level 110 (Currently, both are around the late 50s. I have no Lucky Eggs).

*Legendary Pokémon, rare. Feh. Everybody who plays Ruby encounters Groudon. How rare is that? I actually do not have it in my copy because my Castform accidentally KO'd it and I hadn't saved.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: Glitchy on June 19, 2008, 05:51:38 PM
Actually, it's rare for the noobs who can't catch it. And the rest of the noobs use their Master Ball and can't catch the other legendaries, making it balanced...

I would say the first option, and if you want to get technical, Legendaries are harder to level up because their exp curve is larger. 
Going back to what I consider "valuable" in a Pokemon game, something with high stats is simply more "valuable" to me than something that has crappy stats.

"IT"S NOT ABOUT POWER, IT'S ABOUT BEEEEELIEEEEVING IN YOUR POKEMON! IT'S ABOUT FRIENDSHIP!"

In all seriousness, though, I'd rather have a Pokemon I've pumped a lot of time into instead of legendaries. Also, I hate the new legendaries. Dialga, Palkia, Darkrai, Giratina, Shaymin...can't stand them. At all.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: Ambulance Y on June 20, 2008, 12:36:50 PM
I hate Chimchar, Monferno and Infernape. But I love Charamander and his parallel evolutions. Lizards are supposed to be on fire, not monkeys. Maybe I just love the originals because that's what I experienced as a child.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon
Post by: Turtlekid1 on June 20, 2008, 01:14:12 PM
Or because monkeys fling their own excrement.  That's my reason for not liking chimchar.
Title: Re: Favorite Pokémon

I might like him more if he threw flaming excrement. Now that would be a real Pokémon.

Well, at level 57, I finally let Mr. Fork, my Combusken, intelligently redesign himself... I'm not happy about that, but he did get a rather large stats boost, and I used the Earthquake TM on him. But now he doesn't look like a chicken and his claws don't resemble forks. :[
