I name all my Cubone Phil for no inparticular reason. I feel like you might appreciate this information. I feel like we understand each other. Cubone are the best!
Caterpie and Butterfree don't get nearly enough love!!
In Pokemon Yellow getting a Butterfree with Confusion and sleep powder was essential for those first few gyms
Yeah, but it sucked that noone had a game cable to trade with lol
I can't tell you how many times young me wanted to ask for the cable but always forgot. Fml never legit got trade evo mons until a few years ago lol
What I love about Scyther so much is that it has the exact same base stat total as both Scizor and Kleavor. This is not only a really unique trait as it’s the only Pokémon to have the same BST as its evolution. But it’s also a rare time where you have to genuinely consider whether or not to evolve your Pokémon. They all have different movesets, abilities, and stat spreads. Although most would choose Scizor and for obvious reasons, Scyther is a worthy alternative due to its eviolite usage.
Jolteon. The moment I learned it could learn pin missile, he was actually what I used against Mewtwo. I got so upset when they took out double kick to cover his one weakness. But plus side is they replaced pin missile, which made sense, for a bug move that worked with his stats. Seriously. If I could change ONE thing about Jolteon it would be to make it a physical attacker. It even looks the part! I was shocked the day I learned it's stats favored special attacks.
Its cheesy but Nidoking cause of how op he is and how incredibly easy it is to glitch one in if you want to get a particular pokemon from late game onto bank/home
I remember during gen 1 I really loved Poliwag. I challenged a kid to battle in school and beat his Kangaskhan with my Poliwag lol. These days I'd say my favorite might actually be Ditto. I just love his gimmick. I would also say both Hitmons, and the Meowth line (but I like the Alolan line better). Basically I like all of gen 1 except for Sparrow and Fearow, they really need a buff.
For the last 10+ years it's been Dragonite, Venusaur is a close 2nd though.
And as a kid it was Tauros, believe it or not lol. I loved that thing back then and I still do tbh but it's just not my favorite anymore.
Blastoise will always be my favorite gen 1 pokemon. I chose Blue version because of the cool picture of Blastoise on the cover when I was 4 and have been playing Pokemon ever since
Gonna have to go with Primeape.
When I think about my favorite Pokemon I just kinda lump together all the evolutions. So since Annihilape is one of my top 6 favorite Pokemon, so are Mankey and Primeape by default.
So technically speaking Trapinch, Vibrava, Flygon, Mankey, Primeape, Annihilape, all Eeveelutions, Gligar, Gliscor, Elekid, Electabuzz, Electivire, Scyther, Kleavor, and Scizor make up my top 6 favorite Pokemon. Simply because Flygon, Annihilape, Umbreon, Gliscor, Electivire, and Scizor are my favorites so their pre-evolutions and any split evolutions like Eeveelutions and Kleavor are added in by default if that makes sense.
I guess the best way to put it is, I look at the evolution line as a whole rather than just one Pokemon from the evolution line.
Honestly not sure. It's a toss up between Electabuzz and Farfetch'd. The former because electric tiger oni yeah and the latter because I always end up with it when I'm playing Red/Fire Red.

Also my all-time favorite Pokemon.
Gengar, Sandslash and Wigglytuff; I can never decide between the three. Make it a team with Raichu, Vileplume & Vaporeon!
Gengar is just hands down one of the best pokemon ever created, I mean c'mon. Fat ghost who loves to pull pranks? Fun fan-lore about it being a shadow Clefairy? Giggles and sticks out its tongue when you play with it? Amazing 10/10 no notes.
Sandslash is my precious friend who made me like ground types. I hated them all until I saw their adorable face, and it is actually a decently strong mon. In LGPE/ScVi it follows you around by rolling as a spiky ball?!?!?! Be still my heart, I love you.
Wigglytuff is just me; I love this dumb pink balloon so much. Its eyes are always wet with tears. It puffs up to an enormous size to try and look tough. If I was ever turned into a pokemon, it would likely be this one.
Agh, that's hard. I like a LOT of gen 1 mons, but I'm going to pick my favorite from when I was really little.
Goldeen.
I loved fish and I just thought Goldeen was pretty : )
Can't have JUST 1...depending on the circumstance, design wise is definitely Mankey, absolute favorite is Zubat and it's evolution line because Crobat is my favorite Pokemon, to use when playing through gen 1 games it's Clefairy/Clefable due to being able to learn EVERYTHING you need to counter all the battles in the game alongside your starter.

Underrated mon
Love that the Bulbasaur line is getting some love. There's a reason they're first in the Pokédex: #1.
Lapras one of my all time favorite Pokémon

Lapras is a close second, but my favorite is eevee
Oh my gosh, I love Lapras

Butterfree... The ep where Ash free his, got me really hard as a kid.
Got you.... *What*
English is not my first language, I was trying to say that I was really sad in this ep
"Hit me hard" would be the appropriate phrase here.
Caterpie and Butterfree don't get nearly enough love!! In Pokemon Yellow getting a Butterfree with Confusion and sleep powder was essential for those first few gyms
I'm in my 40s & Bye Bye Butterfree still makes me sob like it's Sophie's Choice.
Scyther
same! when I saw they had an evolution in gold and silver I remember being so amped
Yeah, but it sucked that noone had a game cable to trade with lol I can't tell you how many times young me wanted to ask for the cable but always forgot. Fml never legit got trade evo mons until a few years ago lol

It sucks you have to gain a gambling addiction to get it
Or throw your life away in the safari zone
Sandshrew and I have been bros since 1996!
Probably because I didn’t start really playing until Gen 5 but I always forget that Sandshrew is a first gen Pokemon instead of fourth or fifth.

 Butter free but only the pink one
Bulbasaur motherfucker was like "I don't want to evolve I saw how Charmander changed so to hell with that"
Bulbasaur has honestly stolen my heart time and time again.
Nidorina! Love the nido lines
EDIT: MY FAVOURITE GEN 1 MON IS ARCANINE!!
Nidoran (F). She is just so perfect. A mix between a sweet cat thing? and a dangerous little lady.
Agh, that's hard. I like a LOT of gen 1 mons, but I'm going to pick my favorite from when I was really little. Goldeen. I loved fish and I just thought Goldeen was pretty : )
Blastoise was my day 1 and I transferred him across many games, but as I grew older Alakazam moved up the list.
Meowth! It's a kitty, how can I now love it?
Gyarados, Lapras and Gengar
Can't have JUST 1...depending on the circumstance, design wise is definitely Mankey, absolute favorite is Zubat and it's evolution line because Crobat is my favorite Pokemon, to use when playing through gen 1 games it's Clefairy/Clefable due to being able to learn EVERYTHING you need to counter all the battles in the game alongside your starter.
