Corphish, because he made comedy his b!tch.
Swellow, for being the first bird pokémon to take some names and crack some skulls.
Sceptile, due to the fact the guy was a flat out badass.
Heracross, down to it's bewildering lust for shrub-coated toads.
Bayleef because it was cuter than a button. Although having said that, I have questioned the cuteitude of some buttons recently. But regardless, I also like Bayleef due to the fact that it was the first pokémon ever to realise Ash has a favourite. No rat was takin' her boi, y'hear?
Vengence-craving Noctowl, brain damaged Mukuru, bringer of death and famine Snorlax and sleepy weirdo Cyndaquil missed the mark by that much.
