The Lemmy community for all things Pokémon!
Rules:
Mine is Grumpig. I like this psychic pig with elements of that "Pearls before Swine" quote from the Christian Bible that I was named after. It wears a lot of pearls on itself, and it's a good dancer. The abilities it has imply that it's a foodie species that goes at its own whims and tries to set its own pace for life.
Espurr~!
Would you rather have Espurr as a battle partner or just a friend?
Just a friend. (I'd give him hugs.)
Espeon! Biased because of fond memories playing Pokémon Colosseum on GC as a kid.
What do you like about Espeon? The last time I played Pokémon Colosseum I switched out Espeon and Umbreon for space for other Shadow Pokémon that I'm more interested in.
Always had a soft spot for all the Eeveelutions, and the fact that Espeon was my first shiny helps.
Alakazam! He just looks so cool. Plus I have a bias for the first three generations as well.
What do you think of Raichu and what do you like most about it?
He was my first favourite pokemon. Unfairly overshadowed by his diva younger sibling. I've since got mons I love more, but when Alola Raichu came along it gave me a whole new side of him to love.
I think Veluza is so cool. It was such a pleasant surprise in S&V, I had no idea it was in the game when I first found it,, and I took it all the way to the end
My favorite pokemon is psychic type, Starmie. Cool spinny dude channeling various beams through its gemstone.
Lugia. It's honestly a shame that it is a legendary, because I usually spend a lot of time breeding Egg Moves, IV's, special Pokéballs and Hidden Abilities into Pokémon I like, and that is just not possible with legendaries.
Presently, Espathra is pretty high on my list. I just love the idea of a violent, psychic ostrich. Especially when I see them running around the world in Violet.
I have to go with Abra or Kadabra. They have always been some of my favorites.
I want to know why you like those Pokémon so much.
It helps that they were from Gen 1 when I started playing. Psychic & Ghost have always been two of my favorite types, & I can even remember the show episodes with Sabrina & the Abra evolutions. I may need a little longer to think about why these 2-3 really stand out to me more than the others.
Meowstic—I loved using it in my original Pokémon X play through and it’s a go to pick on my team whenever I play X or Y now.
Hatterene! I think its Violet dex entry is one of my favorite entries of all time: "Beware of forests that show no signs of living creatures within. You may have wandered into Hatterene's territory."
Mine has to be the Gastly line, with Haunter being my favorite. I just like the look of him, classic scary pumpkin face, so mischievous! And reminds me of Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town... spooky!!
Gastly and crew are Ghost/Poison, not Psychic. Good picks, though, I adore that line! PL:A is the first time I ever had a Gengar of my own, as I never had any friends to trade with growing up. 😅 So Haunter was the "final evolution" for me for a LOOONG time. Probably why I like it the most of the three, as well.
Ah, that’s right! I’m more of a TCG player these days so they fall under psychic there, but you’re right!
Ahhh, I love the TCG. I don't have nearly enough friends who play to keep me engaged, though. Sad days.
