Favorite Pokemon Picker

Following the Grass post, it's time for the Fire favorites! A shame Gen 9 is still not included, but Skeledirge is the only Mon there that had any chances to get into Top 12. Besides him, the only missing Mons are Camerupt, Tepig/Pignite, Braixen, Torracat and the Scorbunny line. Kanto ended up being the most represented region by far.

Since I felt I was a bit influenced by my current playthrough, I made another list and took a bit more time so I could vote for 50 pokémon in total.
Compared to the old list some pokémon dropped out of the Top 20, some even didn't make it in the Top 50 any more.

So, enough time has passed and it's a good moment to continue the Monotype awards, this time Water is the type.

Vaporeon needs no explanation.
Wartortle is a cute and angry turtle often forgotten in favour of the rest of the line. For me, it has the best design.
Omanyte line is Lord Helix meme, always liked it more than Kabuto line.
Spheal and Walrein come from me liking Ice mons in general and enjoying Stallrein in DPP and BW.
Corphish was awesome in anime, cute as a Mon and good in LC too.
Whiscash got me the most impressive SPL win last year in my last official team tour battle, so it earned the spot in this list.
Qwilfish is a Mon hard to obtain in-game and has low Stats. Yet, it has a great design and always manages to put work in-game and in competitive battles.
Mudkip is the best Hoenn starter and only Water starter that is my favorite in a generation (Fire won last 2 Gens, the rest are Grass types).
Poliwrath is a badass Mon that has been competitively viable in every Gen except IX (due to being Dexited), I like that endurance despite never being Top Tier.
 
Decided to do 10* per type. Didn't bother avoiding duplicates between them, but did limit to fully-evolved mons.

Pure Normal apparently represents too many types, not too few.
1675383828080.png

Multiple starters is an anomaly compared to the other starter types.
1675383926907.png

Blastoise misses out on the cannon convention.
1675383993977.png

If you'd stop restricting yourself to pikaclones, I wouldn't need so many legendaries here.
1675384050284.png

2.5 Steel types, just how nature intended.
1675384148770.png

Guess I was feeling nostalgic today, sometimes I prefer the big ice chunks instead. Also, I had regional forms off, so I didn't have the option of an Ice/Steel.
1675384270997.png

Valiant and Hands compensate for Lucario being such a failure as a Steel-type.

Might need to adjust my signature now that Spike Flower exists.
1675384442492.png

Shoutout to Sandy Shocks being the only past paradox to make the list at all.
1675384505843.png

Pidgeot got dropped here compared to on Normal. I guess I don't think of them as much as a Flying type.
1675384560745.png

RIP solgaleo, all other Psychic/Steel lines are present.
1675384680204.png

The distribution of secondary types almost looks sensible. Almost.
1675384779905.png

I like my defensive Rocks like I like my defensive everything: with lots of passive damage.
1675384880057.png

Shows how competitive this was that Blacephalon didn't make it.
1675384934977.png

Unlike the UBs which dropped two of the title legendaries, Miraidon shows up in a low-competition type to complete the set of future Paradoxes.
1675385050868.png

Is Ting-lu an honorary Steel objectmon like Dhelmise?
1675385125647.png

Yeah, couldn't stop at 10. Amusingly, the mon I have for Steel in my signature (where I'm avoiding duplicates) is at 5th.

I got to "nature spirit" eventually.

Bug type time!

Screenshot_2023-04-12-11-52-59-366_com.android.chrome.jpg

First type without an Eevee there, can be noted with the amount of small cute babies in the list to compensate.
Got to like Centiskorch after an impressive win it gave me in a 2020 tour, before that I prefered Frosmoth as the Galarian Bug (still like it, it narrowly missed the list).
Crustle is a Mon I use in Pokemon Unite a lot, just like Scyther (this one I always liked though, it has swords!).
Galvantula is a cute fluffy spider, it also has strong accurate Thunders.
People say Dustox is ugly, but I always liked it way more than Beautifly, it's also competitively and in-game better.
Finally, Vespiquen is one of the miriad Bug-Flying Mons but different from all of them in terms of concept and strategy, it also has 3 exclusive moves, I wish they had different effects though.

Honorable mentions go to Venomoth, Scizor, Heracross, Yanmega, Araquanid, Vivillon, Volcarona and Slither Wing, there was no place for all of them.
 
Hm, a pretty long time has passed since my last update and since both dlcs have dropped since I decided that now was the perfect time for an overhaul! Tho I think I'll have to spoiler it cuz it contains a mon not featured in any trailers from indigo disk...

"If you don't like me at my :dipplin:, you don't deserve me at my :hydrapple:"
I made sure to edit it a little so that only one form of a given mon appeared (otherwise it'd be a minior and Villon fest).
(Aw man I forgot regular sceptile...Uh, just ignore it and pretend armaldo is there.)
