A thing I love about Pokemon, and I'm not breaking any ground in saying this but it's still something I love, is that EVERY Pokemon is someone's favourite
My least favourite Poke of all time?
Someone out there wishes they would make a plushie of it
@coriander what i like about pokémon is that if you play it enough in enough formats, eventually every poké becomes meaningful to you
like i used to think seismitoad was a terrible ugly pokémon and would never willingly catch one but then it became the centrepiece of my TCG deck and now i love it
i thought barbaracle was horrible and pointless but then while vacationing on the beach i caught a shiny one and it was extremely thematically appropriate
etc
@coriander i liked the last series of pokémon anime (pokémon journeys) because Goh’s whole bit was trying to catch one of every kind of pokémon which meant it spent a lot of time showing this dorky pre-teen going “wow! so cool!” at all the just totally random forgotten pokémon in the back-catalogue
@Lady Oh that's very good!
@Lady Yeah exactly! There's so many reasons why someone might like a Pokemon and a lot of times people will change their minds over time, it's great!
