From Disliking to Liking?

Skarmory. I hated it, but now is very important in my team.
 

Oathblivion

Dragonite says "Hi."
I used to completely abhor Gardevoir, but now it is the first thing besides my starter that I put on my Ruby/Emerald teams. Also, I used to dislike Gyarados, but that was because I was hung up on "STAB is everything." To a semi-noob at the intricacies (?sp) of Pokemon, A water type with uber attack power was useless.

Oh, and in the dark times of my life, I used to hate Mawile with a purple passion, if you'll excuse the expression. How on earth can anyone not like Mawile?

I used to dislike flareon because i didn't like the way it looked but now it's my favorite eeveelution

Who can say?
My opinion odf Treecko has been up and down...
Treecko was my least fave R/S starter, when I first saw it's image on Serebii.net compared to the other two (from an anime poster) I thought it looked ugly.
I started to like it once I saw its sprite and artwork, but I began to like it less again when I found out that Sceptile would be pure grass but Blaziken and Swampert would be dual types (not that I dislike pure types but it seemed unbalanced to me as all three were starters, never felt that about Blastoise though).
So therefore I didn't use it until my 3rd play through of Ruby (after using the other two). I begain to like it.
I used one in my current Emerald game and it is the only starter I've raised to lv.100...

Ha ha, i've just recreated the liking to disliking thread. Hail the confusion? xD

On topic... *thinks* Manectric. Definitely Manectric. When he first came out I hated him and refused to raise one, but then I raised Xactrixz on my Emerald game and yes, he's not a bad Pokemon at all. Not a favourite, but I do like him now.

Luvdisc for me, I hated the thing when I found out how bad its stats are, but I really like it now that I've read the pokemon manga. (It looks so cute in it. ^_^)

Luvdisc may suck stat wise, but it does have some potential, at least in the contest/coordinating side of things. And it can do an okay job at annoying, with high speed, and the annoyer moves it learns.

Mine's not a Pokemon, but, a type. I used to absolutely hate the Normal-type. I would never, ever raise one (outside of a Normal/Flying). There were some I like the look of, but, wouldn't use because, well, Normal-types were so, normal. Odd, isn't it. I started used Kecleon (due to Color Change) and then tried a few others. Now I like to raise them. For some reason I really like using Kangaskhan and Ursaring. Heck, I even raised a Jigglypuff (for a little while, anyway) in Fire Red. Mega Punched everything I could. More Pokemon should have Cute Charm!!

milotic used to be too girly for me...
but mirror coat made me forget it was a cheap mermaid ripoff
 

Loupgarou

<--will be mine
I disliked Golduck strongly...but when I bred one to complement my team...I ended up with it being my favorite water-type that I've ever raised.

I also disliked Regice...but it's grown on me somehow...

Bullet Punch
I was never a Aggron fan, but now, with a supersweep set, It isn't that bad.

Omega Pirate

I used to hate Exploud, Banette and Claydol. Now they're 3 of my 6 favourite Pokemon, just because I decided to use them in my team.
