14. Favorite Villain Team: Team Aqua (ORAS)
Archie was... really charismatic in the remakes lol.
Honorary Mention to Team Skull. Guzma's still my boy.
13. Favorite Gym Leader/Elite Four/Champion: Clair, Drake, and Cynthia.
She's a sore loser, but she's cute lol.
Drake is a badass.
Cynthia's cute and a badass.
12. Favorite Professor: Juniper, but special mentions to Sada and Burnet
More of my 5th Gen favoritism. I think female professors are just neat lmao.
11. Favorite Rival: Cheren & Bianca
I'm including them together. I honestly really enjoyed their characters a lot when I played White. It was great seeing their growth too in the sequel games.
Honorary Mention to Nemona. Her tenacity is hilarious.
10. Favorite Mythical: Arceus
What can I say? God's got a cool design.
9. Favorite Pseudo-Legendary: Dragapult
There's just so much about this Pokémon that I like. The prehistoric inspiration, the stealth bomber aspect, the YEETABLE children. It's great! I just wish its shiny were better.
8. Favorite Region: Hoenn or Unova
Hoenn has nostalgic value for me as one of my first Pokémon games, but I really love Unova's geography/towns a lot. Realistically I'd probably want to live there.
7. Favorite Starter: Turtwig
There's been a lot of cool Starter Pokémon, but none have beat the giant tortoise that carries the world on its back for me. If Pokémon were real, I'd love to ride on the back of Torterra, haha.
6. Favorite Regional Variant: Galarian Zapdos or Hisuian Zoroark
It's a hard toss up between these two.
5. Favorite Mega Evolution / Gigantamax: Mega Mawile & Gigantamax Blastoise
I really liked Mega Mawile's design. I kinda wish it was an evolution instead though lol.
Blastoise became a battleship. That's way more imposing than its Mega lol.
