Smeargle is where it is because I used to play Gen 6 competitively. I REMEMBER WHAT SMEARGLE DID.
Mega-Mence was also a mainstay on my Gen 6 competitive + Battle Resort teams. Love that guy. I loved Bagon's little story in the Pokedex and I always liked the entire Bagon line as a result, so it was awesome to see Salamence become a delete button for anything it faced off against.
I started with >!Gen 4!<, hence why I gave so many faves from there. >!Starly!< was the first Pokemon I ever caught, and she was on my team from beginning to end. I raised her from Lv. 4 to Lv. 100, and she's now sitting in Pokemon Home with a "caught in April 2013" statement to her name. I like to think she and my starter, Lil'leaf the >!Torterra!<, are happily enjoying retirement.
I don't have time to play a lot of the newer Pokemon games (I have a full-time job and all), but I saw Yamper and instantly fell in love with the little doggo. Yamper deserves the world.
I don't know a lot of the Dynamax forms, but who doesn't love a giant dragon? Dyna-Charizard just looks so cool, especially when it's shiny!
Minun is a bit of a funny story. When my sister and I were kids, our parents bought us little Pokemon figures. The first figures we ever got were Plusle and Minun. My sister picked Plusle and I got Minun, and we used to joke we were like Plusle and Minun because we did everything together and stuck together, just like them. To this day, Plusle and Minun are our favorite duo of Pokemon!
