Here are a list of some of my favorites in no particular order. 

[list]
[*]Crobat. Zubat is terrible, Golbat is decent, but still nothing great... and Crobat? Crobat is the reward you get for training that annoying little Zubat so far.[/*]
[*]Sandslash. Such a great design, I don't even know what else to say.[/*]
[*]Heracross. This thing, is great. Definitely an underrated bug-type; this thing has some crazy attack power. I loved it long before it had a Mega Evolution.[/*]
[*]Charizard. Ok, fine, tell me it's overrated; tell me it can be KO'd with stealth rock; tell me Blastoise is better; [i]I don't care[/i]. If you ask me, Charizard is the baddass dragon I always saw it as when I was growing up - and its new Mega Evolutions give us plenty of new things to do with it. I always loved Charizard, and no amount of the use of the word "overrated" will change that for me.[/*]
[*]Lapras. This is sort of a new one to add on the list, since I didn't really appreciate this Pokemon until I recently caught a shiny one in X, but when I did, I realized this thing is just plain gorgeous. It has a great design, and beyond that, it's actually pretty great to use in battle, too - particularly thanks to its water/ice type and ability to learn psychic. It's a great thing to have on a team, and to look at.[/*]
[*]Skarmory. Yet another underrated battler. I've had this guy on my team before in a couple different playthroughs, it's pretty fantastic for carrying you through the game. Not to mention awesome-looking.[/*]
[*]Pidgeot. Pidgey is one of the first Pokemon you encounter in what was probably the first game many of us played; thus making it one of the first Pokemon we all caught. And Pidgey is a decent Pokemon to have on your team at the start, sure, but it has surprising staying power on a team - holding its own in battle and preventing you from needing an HM slave you can teach fly to. And when one of the first Pokemon you catch on your journey sticks with you for so long, going through so much, and still does so well, that's worth appreciating.[/*]
[*]Kangaskhan. Well, I knew I couldn't put Missingno on this list (lol), but since I do love glitches, this Pokemon earned a spot on my list for practically being a symbol of that love of glitches. Plus, it's hard to resist nicknaming one Kagaskhan.[/*]
[*]Gyarados. Old favorite, but I've always loved the story of a Pokemon as weak as Magikarp evolving into something as impressive as Gyarados. Definitely the biggest improvement between evolution levels that I've ever seen.[/*]
[*]Sceptile. Best grass-type starter. /done [/*]
[*]Delphox. One of the best designs I've seen for a starter in generations. I mean look at that thing - that's just gorgeous.[/*]
[*]Shedinja. Weirdest Pokedex entry. Weirdest method of obtaining a Pokemon. Weirdest thing to use in battle... it's just [i]weird[/i], but I like that. It makes it unique, and with the right moveset, it can be a real troll in battle.[/*]
[*]Zoroark. The illusion ability is just plain fun - especially when you disguise it as a Shedinja and make people think they have to switch out in order to do anything, thus forcing them to waste a turn.[/*]
[*]Flygon. Fell in love with the design when I first saw it in that Jirachi movie as a kid. It wasn't until long after that I finally got to use it in-game, mostly because I never would've predicted that it evolved from Trapinch. But when I did get to use one of these, oh boy did I love it. Training it was a bitch, but once it finally evolved all the way? One of my favorite dragon-types.[/*]
[*]Swirlix. A lot of people say that this guy is the reason why they hate fairy type, but for me... I dunno why, but I fell in love with this thing the first time I encountered one. Its adorableness was just too much for me to bear. One of my favorite fairy-types. Speaking of which,[/*]
[*]Xerneas. No one can tell me that all fairy-types are adorable, dainty things. Xerneas is a baddass creature who will moonblast its enemies to high hell. Make fun of it and it will sodomize you with its horns.[/*]
[*]Noivern. This thing is just plain gorgeous. Whoever's idea it was to take the generational bat and turn it into a dragon for once is a [i]genius[/i]. I love this design. I love it so much. It's beautiful. There is nothing more to say.[/*][/list]
