Haha! Kestrel, Kaga...too funny. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has "foolish" favorites that aren't necessarily competitive but just fun to have or appreciate the design of.

Kestrel: I know Staraptor is one of the better birds, but I always thought it was ugly. :(
I actually liked Mismagius. I used one in Pearl and thought of her exactly how you did. I couldn't help but cackle when I sent her out sometimes. >.>
I have to agree with you on Delphox. Even though it was my starter, I can't get over the hair puffs that look like wings coming out of its ears. Too weird.
I actually didn't think Mienshou was any good. I thought its design of was interesting but didn't think it held any value. I'm interested to know that it does and maybe now I wouldn't mind trying to train one.

Kaga: I think that's another reason I actually care for Crobat to some degree. ;)
Ah! Another Sandslash lover! XD
I'm actually using Pidgeot in my second party in Y right now. I forgot how good it was. It's fun to use.
How do you get over those hair puffs, or whatever they are, coming from its ears (Delphox)?
I guess I'm not alone in my interest in Flygon. I just feel like mine is less legitimate. :(
You like cotton candy...that's cool! ^^
Is Noivern any good in battle?

Follow up question: What would your top three favorite typings be? I guess dual-types can be allowed.
If it wasn't gathered from my post, it is Fire, Bug, then Fighting.
