why is your favorite Pokemon your favorite?

[vessel3]

i was wondering if anyone else is really sentimental about their favorite pokemon, or have a story as to why they love it so much?


my favorites switch up a lot as time goes by, when i was 12 my absolute favorite pokemon ever was mewtwo. after i watched the first movie i became completely obsessed with him. i was so fascinated by the idea and concept behind him, being a man-made and genetically engineered pokemon and trying to figure out why he's here and why people made him. after i watched the movie i made multiple original characters inspired from him, watched the short that went along with the movie on youtube SO many times, and he was just all i could think about, really.

now i'm 24 and have been appreciating him and the movie a lot again. recently i got a couple little figures of him from the 90s, an entire trading card frame with only mewtwo cards, and i got one of those golden cards of mewtwo with the pokeball case for christmas this year!

i've loved mew basically as long as i can remember. not sure why, but probably because it's pink, cute, rare, and powerful lol. now that i'm older, i just love that balance of playfulness and power, and the mystery and whimsy that come with that. also, i remember spending hours trying to get mew in the first mystery dungeon game... and my favourite pokemon movie was lucario and the mysteries of mew.

other favourites of mine are similarly either based on aesthetics and/or personal memories. turtwig because the first game i reall played through was diamond, clefable because it's adorable, aggron because it was my first-ever shiny back in X... and i recently became much more fond of meganium and froslass since using them in legends z-a

ARCANINE: I love big fluffy doggie. Tibetan mastiff-type doggy is good.

I'm not big on Pokemon but I recently got Gothorita in Pokemon GO and it has to be my new fav. I have a big liking for goth-like stuff.
