the Endless Narf of the Wavesさんのイラストまとめ

honorary mentions. sabrina gets credit for being nuts in the anime in particular

13. Ok I'm gonna split this up.
Gym - I love Volkner's depressed swag and weird multitype DP team. Roxie is cool. Koga is a COOL NINJA AND HE COMES BACK AND BEST TYPE.
and Wallace is just, like, full flamboyant in ORAS. It's beautiful

most obscure pokemon protagonist

@gayanimegirl I really do find it odd that it yellows as it evolves, though.

I really really like Shedinja also, but I think of it and Ninjask as two faces of the same coin, so I didn't want to post both.

12. Favorite Professor - Rowan is a gigachad and I'm obsessed with his brusque nature. Juniper is fun and always gets points for being the first woman game professor lol. Professor Birch is, dare I say it - moe. And kukui is just really funny for being, like, Professor Bro

11. Favorite Rival - I think they never quite made a rival who properly felt as rivaly as Oak's grandson. I think N, if you count him, is by far the coolest thing they did with the concept though. I'm also partial to Wally for his surprise reappearance ambush in Victory Road

Incidentally, if you count them, I love Type Null and Silvally as being weird failed attempts to build an artificial god. Silvally is especially funny for me for literally being "We have Arceus at home" and being in a bunch of extremely low tiers as a cool pick https://t.co/IT0ZNwJvPw

Other than Arceus I like a lot of the weirdos. Deoxys is cool, Genesect is underrated, Diancie and Phione both fascinate me for having strange connections to other mons. I like Diancie and Carbink as being little rock guys and Phione as being sterile offshoots of a strange being

10. Favorite Mythical - Love it or hate it, I think Arceus is a very fascinating design to put in as the "god" of the Pokemon universe. Its choice of theme song in the event battles is nuts and overall it's just a great weirdo with a great ability/effect on the game. Cool guy
