What | What are some of my favorite Pokémon overall? This list is by no means comprehensive, but for a few groups.... | ||

|[[Eeveelution]]s | |||
|{{MSP|135|Jolteon}} {{MSP|196|Espeon}} {{MSP|197|Umbreon}} | |||
|Jolteon is my favorite of the original Eeveelutions, and Espeon/Umbreon are both quite neatly designed and useful. | |||
|- style="background:#FFF" | |||
|[[Fossil Pokémon]] | |||
|{{MSP|696|Tyrunt}} | |||
|Cutest little baby T-rex ever. | |||
|- style="background:#FFF" | |||
|[[Mega Evolution]]s | |||
|{{MSP|006|Charizard}}Y {{MSP|359|Absol}} {{MSP|448|Lucario}} | |||
|I do not like Mega Charizard X. I love Mega Absol's design the most, though it took me a while to warm up to Mega Lucario's design. | |||
|- style="background:#FFF" | |- style="background:#FFF" | ||
|{{type|Fire}} | |||

| | |Yes, this is specifically the ''female'' Pyroar. | ||

| | |I think the Versus Books GSC strategy guide said it the best: There's nothing quite like a Pokémon that can simultaneously Surf you across water ''and'' fry every last {{p|Tentacool}} you come across. | ||

|{{MSP|310|Manectric}} {{MSP|403|Shinx}}{{MSP|404|Luxio}}{{MSP|405|Luxray}} {{MSP|587|Emolga}} | |||

|{{MSP|447|Riolu}}{{MSP|448|Lucario}} {{MSP|619|Mienfoo}} {{MSP|701|Hawlucha}} | |||

|{{MSP|123|Scyther}} | |{{MSP|123|Scyther}} {{MSP|213|Shuckle}} {{MSP|292|Shedinja}} | ||
| | |I don't really like {{p|Scizor}}. Shuckle and Shedinja are oddballs, but really entertaining to use; I actually took Shedinja with me through the [[Hoenn Elite Four]] and this ghost of a shell was instrumental to catching the Hoenn [[weather trio]]. | ||
| | |||
| | |- style="background:#FFF" | ||
| | |{{type|Dragon}} | ||
|{{MSP|715|Noivern}} | |||
|I respect the other Dragon lines (save {{p|Kingdra}}), but Noivern's design is the one I love most. | |||

|{{MSP|359|Absol}}{{MSP|570|Zorua}}{{MSP|571|Zoroark}} | |||
| Swords Dance Absol won me the Champion match in Emerald by outright sweeping three of Wallace's six Pokemon. Zorua and Zoroark's {{a|Illusion}} ability proves as entertaining as it can be useful. | |||

Maybe it's {{tt|his|yes, I'm aware Raikou is genderless, but I personally view Raikou as masculine}} aesthetic design. Maybe it's how his [[cry]] sounds like a lightning bolt and thunderclap. Maybe it's his particular mix of the battle theme music (in HeartGold version specifically). Maybe it's because I used a [[Master Ball]] to catch him in Generation II. ({{tt|or did I?|It could have been Entei that I Master Balled, but I forget, and the battery in my Pokémon Gold cart has long since died of old age}}) But at any rate, Johto's three [[legendary beasts]] are my favorite ''group'' of legendary Pokémon, and I place Raikout squarely at the top of that group. | |||
