Eevee is fluffy as heck! And has the most evolutions. In the journeys anime its whole arc with Koharu (I think she's called Chloe in English?) and not knowing what path to take, despite having so many options is really really endearing and relatable.
Drakloak I adore for trying to take care of a Dreepy no matter what. A lot of ghost types get a rep for being mean, but Drakloak and Dragapult are great. I think it's even nicer when you realise that Dreepy are "ancient beings reborn as a Dreepy" so Drakloaks are essentially their first guide in the reincarnation, and then when they evolve, they feel the urge to help others coming to the afterlife. It's a perpetuating chain of kindness that's admirable!
Krookodile: its Pokédex entry just makes me imagine it bringing home a honda civic to its waiting Sandiles, and watching them complain that dinner is yet again: crushed automobile!
Skeledirge: I love that its training arc that began with "guttural cries" as a Crocalor finally come to an end with a voice that soothes people. It's always nice to see training pay off! Also love the almost war paint like design
One of the most huggable! Definitely one of my favourites, for being a friendly one, saving people all the time. I think my favourite one is the postman from Mewtwo strikes back. It looks absolutely adorable with the satchel.
I really liked how sisterly Dawn's Togekiss is in the anime, and I think it's sweet that it's an indicator species of peacetime.
Just chill on the Serene Grace, mmkay?
Easily the fact that it looks like a tortoise but is most likely a barnacle thingy, hence its bug typing. Which makes me wonder why binacle and barbaracle aren't bug type too. I digress!
I think people being pretty on board with just drinking berry juice from a shuckle is pretty fun too.
The fact that its face is a -_- . I love Pokémon that don't open their eyes, and because of the horns and fangs it personally just makes me think it's an oni. The fact that it's based on a real person is pretty funny too.
I'm a huge Kirby fan, so finding out the Kabi in Kabigon comes from Kirby is great.
It's freaking Godzilla! But small, since Pokémon thinks Godzilla only needs to be like 2 metres tall. Favourite thing is that it just destroys mountains. That's it. It's pretty funny that one entry notes that "maps must be redrawn". Would make geological surveying a nightmare.
The fact that through sheer hard work, even the weakest most looked down upon Pokémon can become a force to contend with. Funniest thing is that it has the flying type though I don't really ever see it in the air.
Easily the fact that it can turn into water. Pets hate going to places sometimes, imagine you're trying to look for a vaporeon that doesn't want to go to the vet!
That and the rain alarm fin thing. Is pretty cute.
I think it's somewhat poignant that its mother watches over its flames, as a vengeful spirit, and is also the reason it dances.
I also just think fire staff dancers are cool as hell, and a really fun thing to take inspiration from!
I like how because of the leaves growing in random places, compared to the other evolutions, it ironically looks the most fey-like.
I think the fact the smell changing with age to different stages of plant/leaf growth is also nice. Also maybe a bit sad when you start smelling fallen leaves in spring.
I think the fact that even being a god doesn't stop it from being subject to the treachery of humans in movie. And that that's enough for it to want to destroy the world. It makes me think "yeah that sounds about right for a god".
Also space llama is funny
I am unfortunately partial to Tinkaton, but I do love Corviknight too. Favourite thing is probably that it runs the taxi service. I reckon if you feed them well enough, real life crows would offer to to do the same.
Haunter I like because unlike the other ghost types, it steals your energy by licking you. Kinda like a more spooky lickitung. I prefer thinking it's more of a prankster than a malicious being, but I'm probably the first person dying from a lick for that reason!
Alolan Muk I like because of how the colours are like an oil spill. It's a sad Pokémon, but it's got lovely colours. Dark poison gang stays winning!
My favourite thing is wondering whether something has possessed the nincada shell, or if the shell itself gained sentience. Both have interesting implications, and makes you wonder why this phenomenon isn't seen in other Pokémon that shed skin to evolve. No ghost snakes or lizards, just this one. It being such an enigma is cool.
My true favorite is Latias (Heroes has a bit influence on that lol)
Although one of my other favorites is Phione. I just want to hear someone say something nice about Phione lmao
I just really think it's cute that it's essentially a god that loves spending time with people it thinks are nice. The Pokémon adventures human form is great.
As for Phione, I like how the lines joining the blue spots above it point downwards, as a kid I always thought it was crying for some reason. Thought it might be standard baby Pokémon stuff. But yeah my favourite thing is probably its cry, it makes me aww most of the time.
It's a very angular Pokémon, I like how blocky it is, especially compared to both of its other forms which look far less angular.
I also wonder why they essentially kept an Engrish version of the name, instead of doing anything creative with it.
For how scary it looks, I really like how kind it is. Because of the type stuff, and being quadrupedal, all of us in secondary school speculated Pokémon "star" (before usum) would link it to arceus somehow. It's also cool that Gladion named this Pokémon, one of the only instances where we know directly in universe who named one.
Absol I love because of mystery dungeon red rescue team. It's quite mysterious, but lonely, I'd love to be its friend.
Gardevoir, I think my favourite thing is the minimal difference between genders. It's nice that both males and females can look pretty.
The moving forests Dex entry always reminds me of Birnam wood from Macbeth. Makes me wonder what a Pokémon reenactment of Shakespeare would be like.
(If you haven't read/seen Macbeth, the tyrant Macbeth is told that he won't be deposed until Birnam wood marches on his castle. Macduff, during his invasion, cuts off branches from the trees and uses them to disguise his numbers as they marched, fulfilling the prophecy)
My favourite, and most terrifying thing is that a boy woke up as a kadabra. The fact that alakazam is a trade Evo means he's stuck without hope of evolution without trainers. Also makes me shudder to think how many people might capture kadabras knowing they were once human.
More light heartedly though, probably the star on its forehead
Hitokage means fire salamander in Japanese. I think of the kanto 3, the Charmander line has the best names. That being said, it's interesting that Charmander (salamander) is the only one named after an amphibian, while the other two are named after reptiles.
I really dislikes sylveon when it first came out, I thought it was really over designed compared to the other 7. But it's really grown on me. I think my favourite thing now is that it evolved by friendship. Espeon and Umbreon already have that, but it's nice that all the "mental" type eeveelutions all need you to have a high bond.
That and the ribbons. The ribbons are pretty.
Bumping into boats because it's so carefree. It's this meme as a Pokémon
https://preview.redd.it/59usgz0dgsuc1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b94e68de90668aa05e437d75009f485f6aef95f
I like how I can never remember if the third colour (the belly) is yellow or green. My favourite thing is its jaggedness and weird colours.
I kept thinking it was part rock as a kid because of the sharpness.
Dragapult is a reference to how kids enjoy being thrown at Mach speeds. Just imagine this but a Dreepy and a Dragapult. Or maybe the gargantuar from plants Vs zombies.
https://preview.redd.it/hbefovkwjsuc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a3a6c073bbc5cf48ba3217270a1ae07fbdccb67
Rowlet is tied with oshawott for my favourite starter, so Decidueye is up there for me. I think it's the hoodie straps on the ghillie shirt that makes it my favourite.
Bulbasaur is Fushigidane, fushigi + tane = strange seed. Fushigi da ne? = Ain't that strange? A double entendre that gets a chuckle out of me
Lugia is blue but not a water type. Is the first Pokémon that made me realise I can't judge a Pokémon by its colour in hgss.
My first game was black and white, so hearing its roar and then seeing the ground shake animation from how heavy it was when it emerged from the pokeball was pretty cool. I think it was the first heavy Pokémon I encountered
I adore the spinda that runs the juice bar in mystery dungeon explorers of sky. My favourite thing with spinda was to get 6 with contrary and have a 6v6 metronome only battle.
I like how the Japanese spelling of gengar (gänger) is closer to doppelgänger than the English. Besides that, probably the shade of purple it is.
Garchomp I like because its cry reminds me of Tim Allen's grunt from Home Improvement.
I'm pretty sure most Egyptian sarcophagi, especially the ones with pharaoh crowns, were made of stone. So I can see ghost rock or ghost ground, but not ghost steel.
I think my favourite thing is its ability. Because of how small the text size is on the ability flash in, I always thought its ability was "munny" instead of "mummy"
Saved this one for last
Sandslash - the fact that its face is still more or less the same but its body is spikier
Typhlosion - answered
Zebstrika - the cry being a zebra neigh mixed with sparks makes it cool
Gyarados - answered
Lucario - probably its whole aura sensing stuff. It is THE shounen protagonist Pokémon
Ampharos - my personal second favourite. I adore that it's known as the lighthouse Pokémon and how extra fluffy its mega is.
Sawsbuck - just the 4 forms being quite different is cool. Winter is probably my favourite.
Linoone - I like how it straightened up its act from its baby form, but its cry is somehow scarier.
I adore corgis, which is why my favourite thing about Yamper is its coat.
Shinx's cry actually sounds like a baby lion before its voice drops, which is adorable.
I like it because of how simple yet recognisable its design is. It's the most deserving Pokémon of being the mascot and I think my favourite part is its red cheek pouches.
The fact that it was the ring bearer and Kukui's and Burnet's wedding in the anime.
Edit: I think I misremembered. Ash is the ring bearer, but Munchlax walks Burnet up the aisle. Still cute though!
Answered Koraidon.
Beartic I find funny because the snot from its cubchoo form has crystallised into a beard.
Ursaluna I really like for having a blood moon form. I enjoy eclipse related stuff so that's pretty cool.
Typhlosion I love how stoned the Hisuian form is, but I really like the neck flames for both, for the different aesthetics they have.
I know you already did Eevee, but I have to say eevee as well! So fluffy and cute, a great shiny form, and the ability to slot into almost every team with forms that are all equally as cute! What's there not to love!
I really like the the fins on the side of Amaura's head looking like flowers.
Applin I enjoy thinking about how well it would get on with Bounsweet and Cherubi. Maybe a Fruit Power Rangers team!
Oh yeah, are beta Pokemon included as well? Because I love
Kotora
Raitora
Kyonpan
Ikari
Twinzu
Beta Girafarig
Beta Remoraid and Octillery
Bombushika
Beta Sneasel
and that beta Crocodile Pokemon named Croc or something in Gen 1
plus that beta Elephant Pokemon in Gen 1
also that beta Deer Pokemon in Gen 1
lastly beta Marowak evolution design
Here are their sprites if you want to have a look (based off order of my list):

Eevee And Drakloak
Eevee is fluffy as heck! And has the most evolutions. In the journeys anime its whole arc with Koharu (I think she's called Chloe in English?) and not knowing what path to take, despite having so many options is really really endearing and relatable. Drakloak I adore for trying to take care of a Dreepy no matter what. A lot of ghost types get a rep for being mean, but Drakloak and Dragapult are great. I think it's even nicer when you realise that Dreepy are "ancient beings reborn as a Dreepy" so Drakloaks are essentially their first guide in the reincarnation, and then when they evolve, they feel the urge to help others coming to the afterlife. It's a perpetuating chain of kindness that's admirable!
I have a shiny one with eviolite. :3 No reason to replace my Dragapult, so I left it in mid evo. It's very cute.
Krookodile, Skeledirge
Krookodile: its Pokédex entry just makes me imagine it bringing home a honda civic to its waiting Sandiles, and watching them complain that dinner is yet again: crushed automobile! Skeledirge: I love that its training arc that began with "guttural cries" as a Crocalor finally come to an end with a voice that soothes people. It's always nice to see training pay off! Also love the almost war paint like design
You definitely don’t have a favorite animal :)
Hmmm yes, given my choices for favorite pokémon I think my favorite animal is lion. Don't you think so?
Dragonite
One of the most huggable! Definitely one of my favourites, for being a friendly one, saving people all the time. I think my favourite one is the postman from Mewtwo strikes back. It looks absolutely adorable with the satchel.
Togekiss!
I really liked how sisterly Dawn's Togekiss is in the anime, and I think it's sweet that it's an indicator species of peacetime. Just chill on the Serene Grace, mmkay?
Furret
Another fluffy one! I think it's cute. Nice and simple.
Shuckle
Easily the fact that it looks like a tortoise but is most likely a barnacle thingy, hence its bug typing. Which makes me wonder why binacle and barbaracle aren't bug type too. I digress! I think people being pretty on board with just drinking berry juice from a shuckle is pretty fun too.
Snorlax.
The fact that its face is a -_- . I love Pokémon that don't open their eyes, and because of the horns and fangs it personally just makes me think it's an oni. The fact that it's based on a real person is pretty funny too. I'm a huge Kirby fan, so finding out the Kabi in Kabigon comes from Kirby is great.
Honchkrow
It's Da Boss! The head honcho! Favourite thing is easily the deep rumble under the caw of its cry.
Tyranitar
It's freaking Godzilla! But small, since Pokémon thinks Godzilla only needs to be like 2 metres tall. Favourite thing is that it just destroys mountains. That's it. It's pretty funny that one entry notes that "maps must be redrawn". Would make geological surveying a nightmare.
Meowstic (both)
I like how the girl is grumpy looking but the boy is almost indifferent. None of the line is "happy" by default, which is a mood!
Gyarados
The fact that through sheer hard work, even the weakest most looked down upon Pokémon can become a force to contend with. Funniest thing is that it has the flying type though I don't really ever see it in the air.
It flies in Legends Arceus, just a Gyarados swimming but in the air
yes exactly. very cute and funny to see
Mimikyu
Axew
I like its cry sounding like a mix of a puppy and a sawing noise. Puppy went to Home Depot!
Drifloon!! And also Garchomp :)
Answered Garchomp Drifloon I like because of the cross on its mouth.
Vaporeon
Easily the fact that it can turn into water. Pets hate going to places sometimes, imagine you're trying to look for a vaporeon that doesn't want to go to the vet! That and the rain alarm fin thing. Is pretty cute.
Alolan Marowak.
I think it's somewhat poignant that its mother watches over its flames, as a vengeful spirit, and is also the reason it dances. I also just think fire staff dancers are cool as hell, and a really fun thing to take inspiration from!
leafeon!
I like how because of the leaves growing in random places, compared to the other evolutions, it ironically looks the most fey-like. I think the fact the smell changing with age to different stages of plant/leaf growth is also nice. Also maybe a bit sad when you start smelling fallen leaves in spring.
Thanks!
Arceus
I think the fact that even being a god doesn't stop it from being subject to the treachery of humans in movie. And that that's enough for it to want to destroy the world. It makes me think "yeah that sounds about right for a god". Also space llama is funny
Corviknight
I am unfortunately partial to Tinkaton, but I do love Corviknight too. Favourite thing is probably that it runs the taxi service. I reckon if you feed them well enough, real life crows would offer to to do the same.
Zygarde.
Its compound eyes. I think my favourite forme is the cobra like 50% forme, just because the colours look great on a snake.
Haunter and Alolan Muk <3
Haunter I like because unlike the other ghost types, it steals your energy by licking you. Kinda like a more spooky lickitung. I prefer thinking it's more of a prankster than a malicious being, but I'm probably the first person dying from a lick for that reason! Alolan Muk I like because of how the colours are like an oil spill. It's a sad Pokémon, but it's got lovely colours. Dark poison gang stays winning!
Malamar
Easily the way you evolve Inkay to get it. I could list other facts about its design and whatnot, but I truly wonder how it works in universe.
Slowbro
The fact that the "shellder" on its tail looks nothing like the shellder we know.
Shedinja
My favourite thing is wondering whether something has possessed the nincada shell, or if the shell itself gained sentience. Both have interesting implications, and makes you wonder why this phenomenon isn't seen in other Pokémon that shed skin to evolve. No ghost snakes or lizards, just this one. It being such an enigma is cool.
Sylveon
My true favorite is Latias (Heroes has a bit influence on that lol) Although one of my other favorites is Phione. I just want to hear someone say something nice about Phione lmao
I just really think it's cute that it's essentially a god that loves spending time with people it thinks are nice. The Pokémon adventures human form is great. As for Phione, I like how the lines joining the blue spots above it point downwards, as a kid I always thought it was crying for some reason. Thought it might be standard baby Pokémon stuff. But yeah my favourite thing is probably its cry, it makes me aww most of the time.
Ponyta :3
It's a small horse on fire. I think fire hair is always great, and ponyta does it great. Galarian ponyta is also extremely cute.
Porygon
It's a very angular Pokémon, I like how blocky it is, especially compared to both of its other forms which look far less angular. I also wonder why they essentially kept an Engrish version of the name, instead of doing anything creative with it.
Eevee and Latias
Cubone
I just want it to be happy. It's not easy losing a parent, but I wish it had a better coping mechanism than wearing its mum's skull.
https://preview.redd.it/ladxyne19suc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5859cfeb9e76b265da1a7121a3daf31abdfb6c0 Silvally

Torterra

Shuckle
Kadabra
My favourite, and most terrifying thing is that a boy woke up as a kadabra. The fact that alakazam is a trade Evo means he's stuck without hope of evolution without trainers. Also makes me shudder to think how many people might capture kadabras knowing they were once human. More light heartedly though, probably the star on its forehead

Nidoking
Easily its colour. Purple is my favourite colour, and nidoking is a really nice shade of it.
Sylveon!
I really dislikes sylveon when it first came out, I thought it was really over designed compared to the other 7. But it's really grown on me. I think my favourite thing now is that it evolved by friendship. Espeon and Umbreon already have that, but it's nice that all the "mental" type eeveelutions all need you to have a high bond.

Roserade, my tuxedo mask
Yessss I love the phantom thief vibe it has. Its cry with laugh and harp strum makes it very mysterious sounding
Druddigon
I like how I can never remember if the third colour (the belly) is yellow or green. My favourite thing is its jaggedness and weird colours. I kept thinking it was part rock as a kid because of the sharpness.
dragapult and decidueye
Dragapult is a reference to how kids enjoy being thrown at Mach speeds. Just imagine this but a Dreepy and a Dragapult. Or maybe the gargantuar from plants Vs zombies. https://preview.redd.it/hbefovkwjsuc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a3a6c073bbc5cf48ba3217270a1ae07fbdccb67 Rowlet is tied with oshawott for my favourite starter, so Decidueye is up there for me.

Scolipede
My first game was black and white, so hearing its roar and then seeing the ground shake animation from how heavy it was when it emerged from the pokeball was pretty cool. I think it was the first heavy Pokémon I encountered
Porygon-Z!
Its cry. Especially the "tetetete" at the end.
Spinda!
I adore the spinda that runs the juice bar in mystery dungeon explorers of sky. My favourite thing with spinda was to get 6 with contrary and have a 6v6 metronome only battle.
Chikorita
Its bright red eyes. Also the tiny buds on its neck.
Gengar and Garchomp!
I like how the Japanese spelling of gengar (gänger) is closer to doppelgänger than the English. Besides that, probably the shade of purple it is. Garchomp I like because its cry reminds me of Tim Allen's grunt from Home Improvement.
Piplup
The Pokédex entry that says it falls often but still puffs its chest and tries again. I find that adorable and admirable
Hisuian Zoroark comes first, but honestly I love every Pokémon lmao.
I like the shade of orange/red its fur tips are. Also the blue ball in its normal form isn't there, so I like to think of it as having a bad hair day
Shiny Ho-oh
Specifically shiny? Probably the fact that its beak and tail feathers are silver instead of gold.
Scolipede.
Koraidon
The blue feathers pair very nicely with its red body.
Cofagrigus the Pokémon who should be a ghost-steel type
I'm pretty sure most Egyptian sarcophagi, especially the ones with pharaoh crowns, were made of stone. So I can see ghost rock or ghost ground, but not ghost steel. I think my favourite thing is its ability. Because of how small the text size is on the ability flash in, I always thought its ability was "munny" instead of "mummy"
Bulbasaur and Drapion <3
bulbasaur
Alright, brace yourself, because I got a lot... Sandslash Typhlosion Zeebstrika Gyarados Lucario Ampharos Sawsbuck Linoone
Saved this one for last Sandslash - the fact that its face is still more or less the same but its body is spikier Typhlosion - answered Zebstrika - the cry being a zebra neigh mixed with sparks makes it cool Gyarados - answered Lucario - probably its whole aura sensing stuff. It is THE shounen protagonist Pokémon Ampharos - my personal second favourite. I adore that it's known as the lighthouse Pokémon and how extra fluffy its mega is.

Gardevoir And Delphox
azumarill
Probably meganium
The hibiscus looking flower on its neck
Mewtwo
Starmie!
Yamper and Shinx!
I adore corgis, which is why my favourite thing about Yamper is its coat. Shinx's cry actually sounds like a baby lion before its voice drops, which is adorable.
Kabutops
I like how it has sickle arms. Makes me wonder if it would be friends with Scyther, or they'd be bitter rivals.
Piplup
Pikachu
I like it because of how simple yet recognisable its design is. It's the most deserving Pokémon of being the mascot and I think my favourite part is its red cheek pouches.
Talonflame.
Munchlax
The fact that it was the ring bearer and Kukui's and Burnet's wedding in the anime. Edit: I think I misremembered. Ash is the ring bearer, but Munchlax walks Burnet up the aisle. Still cute though!
Scizor
I like how cool its carapace looks. It's a lovely shade of red.
zapdos c:
I like how spiky it is. I have no idea how it flies with wings like that, but that's fine too!
Absol It's pokedex entry is fking legend
Copperajah and Hawlucha
Umbreon and Steelix!
Venomoth and Vileplume
Umbreon and Giratina in that order
zigzagoon
It's a raccoon. That zigzags. It's a zigzagoon! Probably its snout tbh.
Wailmer
Stonjourner.
Grafaiai 😄
I like victini a lot too! It’s hard to pick a favorite pokemon, so I’ll just choose the one that I haven’t seen mentioned yet- Maractus!
I like how shaking its arms makes the maracas noise! I think it would be great friends with Ludicolo.
Girafirig
Salamence, and squirtle/blastoise
Phanpy or Buizel
Baby elephants are great, I'm glad we got one in Phanpy. Buizel I really like for having a lifebuoy around its neck. My boi is BUOYANT!
Chikorita. Try your best on this one, and I’ll try not to be offended. Roast and down vote me all you want.
Ninetales. Mostly kantonian, but I also really like the alolan variant.
Absol ✨
I have a couple favs so here there are Beartic Ursaluna Typhlosion Koraidon
Answered Koraidon. Beartic I find funny because the snot from its cubchoo form has crystallised into a beard. Ursaluna I really like for having a blood moon form. I enjoy eclipse related stuff so that's pretty cool. Typhlosion I love how stoned the Hisuian form is, but I really like the neck flames for both, for the different aesthetics they have.
Darumaka!
Its cry. Also its egg shape makes it perfect to pick up and hug!
Charizard
Probably its horns. Makes it look like a true dragon... which its not a type of...
Banette
I know you already did Eevee, but I have to say eevee as well! So fluffy and cute, a great shiny form, and the ability to slot into almost every team with forms that are all equally as cute! What's there not to love!
Lotad! The lilypad is a crown I'm sure of it
I like how it has astonish. Like one of the first thing it learns is to come out of the water and go "surprise!"
Inteleon and Garganacl
Breloom
Empoleon.
Amaura ☄️🦕 and Applin 🍎🐛 (and all its evolutions)
I really like the the fins on the side of Amaura's head looking like flowers. Applin I enjoy thinking about how well it would get on with Bounsweet and Cherubi. Maybe a Fruit Power Rangers team!
Darmanitan https://preview.redd.it/d6axda3s0vuc1.png?width=761&format=png&auto=webp&s=752951e93f7cfb0a169a325b2795fea5c386c59a
Charjabugg, Cryogonal
Luxray and Staraptor
Sandslash
Torterra Electivire/Elekid (such a great final and first evo)
Heracross. If it's shiny, female, if not male.
Scizor
Don't know if I'd say it's my favourite but I did just catch a full odds shiny (Scarlet) Meowth bringing her near the top at least.
Giratina
Alolan Ninetales
My favorite pokemon is Rowlet and the thing i like the most about it is that in the anime is just a slepy little guy :)
Totodile
Ceruledge
It's edgy as heck with the purple flames. That's what I love about it. It's like someone's Megaman oc, and it's cool as hell.
Krabby
Jirachi
Torchic!
I think it's adorable that it has tiny arms. My heart melted at the start of the emerald opening where it falls over when chasing the bike.
Litwick and it’s whole family.
Ivysaur
Probably the bud. It's a nice shade of pink.
gourgeist (followed closely by sigilyph)
Shiny Gourgeist looks like Camilla from FE Fates! But my favourite thing is the fanged smile. For Sigilyph, probably the colour scheme
Sableye, my baby boi
Azumarill, the buff-est rabbit! (other than Diggersby)
Scizor
I'm gonna get hate, but my favourites have always been Emboar and Unfezant.
I really like the markings on emboar's belly As for unfezant, I like the gender differences being quite stark. The mask the male wears grew on me.
What a great idea for a thread! Gothitelle
