Did the anime make you really like certain Pokemon?

[Enzap]

I disliked Palpitoad quite a bit for some reason before I saw it in the anime. Now I think it's an interesting Pokemon that's fun to watch in the show.

 

[Lumi]

I didn't care for Elgyem until I saw it in the anime. Now I think it's one of the cutest Pokémon. ^_^

 

[Winterdaze]

Lucario. Initially I just though of it as an overrated, whored out piece of furbait.
Then movie 8 happened and smacked me with FEELINGS, man why couldn't all the movies have been like that...

Not to mention it's just one of those Pokemon that looks great animated, and has such a unique looking fighting style that any battles they appear in become visually stunning. I think that's one of the reasons why Maylene vs Ash was one of the most intense battles the series has ever seen.
It's not one of my favourites, but I certainly like it much more than before.

When I was younger it got me to like most of the cute kanto pokemon but I think that may have happened anyway. I really can't remember.

As for what I can remember, Shinji's battling got in into likely walls, if that counts. Dodaitose went from my least favourite of the Sinnoh starters to my favourite thanks to Shinji's though. Takeshi's Gereggru too meant more to me in the anime than the games. I hated Pinpuku before Takeshi got one.

Most of the Pokemon I like are from first look, but there have been Pokemon that I liked thanks to the anime. Some of these include:

Mew (only in the 8th movie though)
Cyndaquil
Buizel
Emolga
Mothim
Yamask
Dwebble
Swinub
Larvitar
Excadrill

You can find all the Pokemon I like by looking at the memes I made on Deviant Art (my DA profile

SERVINE.
I didn't really care for it until I saw it animated, now it's one of my all-time favorites.
Also, Togekiss and Oshawott look better in the anime then they do in the games.

 

[Midorikawa]

The anime made mewtwo my fave

 

[ajhalpin]

The anime made me love Haunter. Mind Control.. Would totally come in handy..

 

[Satoshi_Pikachu]

Oh, many times. The movies made me love Lucario. Now it's in all my teams. I hated Snivy before watching Best Wishes. Then there's also Infernape. I never cared for the Chimchar line, but after watching D/P, it's one of my favorite Pokémon. In fact, I got Platinum (which I had skipped) recently just because I wanted to play with an Infernape. Actually, the anime made me love most of Ash's Sinnoh Pokémon. Except Gible. That thing had no personality, and the way they practiced Draco Meteor was lame. "Gible, use Draco Meteor!" "Use Draco Meteor again!"
Oh, yeah, and there's also Guregguru! I never liked Croagunk until I watched the Japanese version of D/P. Guregguru is way too awesome!

 

[Cybersai]

Almost all the Pokemon on the main cast I enjoyed more than originally.

 

[Takoto]

Mewtwo.
Honestly when I first played Red, Blue and Yellow, Mewtwo was kinda cool but I didn't use it or pay much attention to it. The episodes which hinted at this new, mysterious Pokémon (the Battle of the Badge episode, and Showdown at the Po-ké Corral episode) made me really interested in what it could be, because I was pretty young and didn't realize it was Mewtwo. When the first movie came out, it was the first movie I saw in a cinema which I can remember, and god did I love Mewtwo. He was awesome, same with Mew. They became two of my favourite legendaries.

 

[randomuniq]

Yeah, Wobbuffet, Croagunk, and Garchomp! I was looking through old episodes and when I saw the one with Wobbuffet Village yesterday, I basically fell over due to the pokemon's awesomeness.

 

[djulienr]

the anime made me like Piplup a lot more!

 

[Lafayette Excadrill]

The puss in boots meowth made me really love meowth.
But i still probably wouldn't use him in the games

 

[songohan619]

Tepig!

 

[Thingamajig]

A few. Starmie (I guess I felt sorry for it because it always took a backseat to Staryu for some strange reason before being abandoned completely), Toarkoal and Gliscor (in both cases because of their personalities)

 

[Virbank Video]

Mistys Psyduck back in the day... ever since then I've loved Psyduck. I have a level 100 one nowadays thanks to countless near-faint battles and a trusty Everstone. It's one of those Pokemon whose pre-evolved form is far more appealing to me than the evolved form. No interest in Golduck whatsoever, I thought it was a poor evolution. Psyduck should've stayed yellow and just got bigger and meaner!

Dogasu/Koffing...
