Personally, mine is joint first between Sandshrew (the cutest), Espurr (most relatable), and Gastrodon.

After those, in no particular order, I like Turtwig (best starter, fight me), the Roggenrola line (little rock guys), the Litwick line (candles and lamps with nefarious intentions), and Metagross (cool robot thing).

Kyogre is the best legendary in my opinion

    Annihilape, I always loved Mankey and Primape, and Fighting/Ghost type was something I had wanted for a long time. It was so pissed it died and then so pissed that it came back. That’s fucking rad. The signature move is also fucking busted.

      Annihilape was definitely one of the better new evolutions for old mons! Steelix and Scizor are also great new evolutions that I personally like

        It took soooo long, too! The line was aching for a third evolution since the first gen, but at least when it came it was an S tier. Scizor is for sure in my top five, been a favorite since it first showed up. Technician Scizor with bullet punch fucking cleans up and looks cool doing it.

    Design-wise? Banette. The creepy doll is just such a gorgeous image.

    In my heart? The goofy gang boss Honchcrow.

    I do agree Gastrodon is cool.

    I like this supermodel insect from another dimension too.

    Gardevoir It was my first shiney and carried me through Pearl. Plus I like the idea of powerful psychics and loyalty to your friends.

    Crobat, my beloved. Where hast my 6 foot, 4 winged bat gone? What forces of evil have possessed GameFreak to keep me from you? Can they not see the bonds of friendship that keep me coming back to you? Dost they not know thou art perfect? Your soft purple fur, your unique typing, your winning personality? Fear not, my love. For I know that one day, you and I will be reunited! I will once again fly on your back to the Pokémon league, whereupon I will thrash the Elite Four with your STAB Cross Poison! Till then, my lavender cutie, rest your mighty wings, sweet cherub. Our time will come again.

    Piplup for its cuteness. I also like its evolutions.

    I also really love Bulbasaur and its evolution line. That was my starter back on Blue on the Gameboy. Venusaur with Leech Seed then whipped everything into submission pretty much. Tanked like a mofo!
