What's your favorite line when a trainer sends out their Pokemon?

I like Cynthia's a lot, when she sends out her Pokemon she says "(insert Pokemon name) battle dance!" and I like Byron's, he says "I love (insert Pokemon's name).

Or do you like the original "I choose you (insert Pokemon's name)?

I guess for me it would be the classics like "Pikachu, go!" or "Bulbasaur, I choose you!" or whatever. Although "Misty calls Starmie!" was pretty cute too.

What the heck is a battle dance supposed to be?

Yeah, ok!
I should start watching the Japanese episodes, since I never watched them, and I also heard Misty stated her age in one of the episodes too.

She says she's 10 in the Caterpie episode in Japanese but 4kids didn't translate it for whatever reason.

And I don't know why people are saying Misty constantly had a catch phrase, it only appeared for a few episodes...much like the mallet which only ever appeared for like 4 episodes.

for me personally i always liked "standby for battle." but i don't think many other characters would've sounded right saying it.
 
"I choose you," "Go!," and "My Vintage!"

My favorite is "stand by for battle!" I will admit that it wouldn't suit Ash, given his personality, but it is my favorite battle entry line. Right up there with "stand by for battle" is "(insert Pokémon), go!"
 
(Pokèmon) Battle stand by <<Paul
(Pokèmon) I need your assistant <<Brendan
I love (Pokèmon) <<Baron
(Pokèmon) Lets go! <<Roark
Etc

A fancy way of saying destroy them.

... but seriously I don't know.

Does anyone have a list of who says what? I haven't watched the Dub in years so a few of these are new to me.
