Pokemon list.

So this was originally going to be a note on Facebook, in response to one by Zanda, for all my friends to see. Then I realised, "That's what my blog is for!!". So I started work on this post, and then I thought "Why can't I have my pokemon list and eat it?" Then I realised how stupid that sounded and was glad I wasn't talking out loud. Not that anyone would have heard me anyway.

The basic premise of this list is to say what pokemon I think are awesome, and why. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

Honourable Mentions

These are in order of National Pokedex number. I can't be bothered ordering anything more than my top 10. Some of them don't have comments. Quite a few of them do.

-Charmeleon

This guy is badass. Everyone says they love charizard, but they all know charmeleon is way cooler. If evolving didn't increase your stats, I would totally keep charmeleon instead of getting charizard. This guy is definitely my favourite out of the first generations "starters".

-Beedrill

A bee, with freaking drills for hands. I don't think I need to say any more.

-Fearow

The fearow I used in pokemon stadium was the most awesome pokemon I had. He just ripped into everything, and if he came up against and electric pokemon? HYPER BEAM TO THE FACE!!

-Nintales

-Primeape

I was tossing up whether to pick him or mankey. Then I remembered the episode where primeape chased ash around, after stealing his hat. Good times.

-Farfetch'd

This dude uses a leek for a sword.

-Kingler

I like kingler because he is a giant enemy crab. Also, crabhammer is one of my favourite moves and kingler already has a massive claw with which to hammer people.

-Weezing

Weezing just looks so depressed all the time. It's probably because it's just two koffings stuck together, and they don't like each others smells.

-Ryhorn

-Tauros

-Eevee

I was originally going to pick flareon, jolteon, vaporeon, espeon, umbreon and glaceon. So instead of that I picked eevee. I just love how you can get so much variation from one pokemon.

-Omastar

-Bayleef

-Quilava

-Unown

-Wobbuffet

This guy knows how to take a hit. Not having attacking moves makes Wobbuffet really original in my mind, and he really knows how to party.

-Shuckle

This guy also knows how to take a hit, but he cannot dish anything back out. Really annoying when you want to have a tank, because he can't really do anything else.

-Donphan

-Hitmontop

-Mudkip

Yeah, you heard right.

-Shedinja

This is another pokemon who's form of evolution I like. If you have a spare slot in your team and a spare pokeball when nincada evolves, you get ninjask and shedinja. Also, wonder guard is a great ability

-Loudred

-Sableye

-Swalot

This pokemon looks so distinguished even though it is a blob. Makes me laugh every time I look at it.

-Camerupt

I just like the colours on the shiny version. He's also pretty good in a fight.

-Spoink

He has a spring. On his butt. Hilarious.

-Drifblim

-Lucario

-Rotom

Top 10

10. Sandslash

I'm running out of things to say about these pokemon, so I'll just start describing the most awesome things about each of them. He's got knives for hands!!

9. Geodude

He's a floating rock with arms, I like that in a pokemon.

8. Muk

He looks gross, but all he really wants is a hug.

7. Onix

ROCK SNAKE!!

6. Paras

Mushroom crab!!

5. Arcanine

My favourite from the first generation. Fire dog.

4. Manectric

Electric dog. Reminds me of a super saiyan.

3. Breloom

Mushroom that can puch you in the face.

2. Blaziken

My blaziken is what basically soloed the emerald elite four and for that, I have a special place in my heart for him.

1. Absol

Absol is awesome. Looks awesome, has awesome moves, is awesome. I really like buffing absol's critical hit chance, since he gets it as an ability.

God damn, now I want to play pokemon again.
