I have no idea how many people are going to actively care about this list, but Pokemon is one of my favorite things ever, and I just really wanna talk about my top 20 favorite. I'm doing twenty instead of ten because there are far too many to fit in a top 10 list and also, because you can do twenty pictures and I figured I should be nice and use pictures so you all know what I'm talking about lmao.

My personal favorite Sinnoh starter, and just one of the coolest Pokemon, I think. The typing of water/steel is also really good, and whenever I play through Diamond, you can almost guarantee I'll have this guy on my team, just because he's fantastic. Plus, it's an emperor penguin which is just one of the coolest things, if you ask me.

I'm going to be honest with you guys, I didn't understand this Pokemon until really recently, through my last playthrough of Diamond, in which I used a Meditite that eventually evolved into Medicham on my team. Maybe it's because I named it Tony (yes as an homage to Tony Stark, don't judge), but I just found myself liking this guy a hell of a lot more than I used to. He's now one of my favorites, and I love him very much.

Fun fact for you guys, my very first game of Pokemon I ever played was Pokemon Y. My first starter was Froakie (heavily influenced by the anime which I had been watching for awhile at that point), and I named him Hal (I don't know why, I just know that's what his name was). He quickly became one of my favorites, and now I kind of love the guy very much, and I don't like playing through Kalos without one on my team.
