My favorite in the male characters is always Ash, Todd, and Brock. I love Ash's Bayleef, his Phanpy evolved into a Donphan, his Cyndaquil, and of course, his Pikachu. They're so cute you can't resist favoring for them. In the female characters, it's Misty, Temaku and May. I loved how Misty favored for water-typed Pokemon than any other and how did she get that Togepi. It's the cute powerhouse of her team. I loved Dawn when I heard of The Rise of Darkrai.
