Favorite Pokémon from each region and favorite region?

Favorite region?


  • Total voters
    78
Gen I: Gengar
Gen II: Typhlosion
Gen III: Breloom
Gen IV: Porygon-Z
Gen V: Eelektross
Gen VI: Slurpuff

Region: Sinnoh
 
My favorite region is far and away always going to be Johto because of the culture, history, and legend of Lugia/Ho-Oh and the beasts being by far objectively the best myth in the entire Pokemon universe, bar none. I also voted Hoenn (for the breathtaking landscapes, particularly in ORAS) and Kalos (for the unbelievably uncanny resemblance to real world France.)

Bonus: least favorite region is far and away Unova. Hate that region. Kanto is also really low on the list because of how bland it is.

Kanto: Bulbasaur- favorite Pokemon, bar none. Runners-up: Dragonite, Squirtle, Scyther, and Vulpix

Johto: Houndour- I love a lot of Johto mons but Houndour's based on my favorite animal, so yeah. Runners-up: Chikorita, Totodile, Scizor, Tyranitar, Espeon/Umbreon, Skarmory, and Heracross

Hoenn: Milotic- it took me forever to get one, and it was so worth it when I used her in battle. Runners-up: Electrike, Treecko, Torchic, and Absol

Sinnoh: Turtwig- probably my least favorite Pokemon designs are in this region, but Torterra is a badass. Runners-up: Piplup, Roserade, and Leafeon/Glaceon

Unova: Snivy- Don't care too much about this region's Pokemon either, but Snivy is the best of a bad bunch. Runners-up: Hydreigon, Volcarona, and Ferroseed

Kalos: Chespin- I fell in love with Chesnaught the moment I saw him, which is saying something because Kalos had some fantastic Pokemon designs. Runners-up: Fennekin, Froakie, Phantump, Flabebe, and Goodra.
 
Kanto: Dragonite- I like how Dragonite is usually gentle and good-natured but is also strong enough to protect those it cares about.
Johto: Porygon 2- P2 is my all-time favorite PKMN. I'm not totally sure why, though it might have something to do with it being an artificial/virtual Pokémon with a quirky design.
Hoenn: Gardevoir- Gardevoirs remind me of mages and I think it's pretty cool that they're known for protecting people.
Sinnoh: Togekiss- Togekiss looks ultra fluffy, is associated with peace, and evolves from a Gen. 2 line that I was already fond of.
Unova: Deino- I'm a fan of Deino's blinding bangs, haha. They remind me of a random anime character I like...
Kalos: Goodra- I like Goodra for basically the same reason I like Dragonite. I also think it's kind of neat that it's a defensive psuedo-legendary.

Johto's my favorite region as far as setting and Pokémon (overall) go. Unova's my favorite region in terms of characters and plot.
 
My favorite region is Unova, because MURICA.

Gen I: Not too many Pokémon here stand out, but here I'll go with Magnemite. It's design, while simple, is clever, and Electric/Steel is a fun typing.
Gen II: Houndoom. I just love how they snuck a hellhound in the game, and the horns and skulls on it just make it pure badass.
Gen III: Flygon. I'm not sure why I like it so much, but there's just something about the insect dragon aesthetic that makes it look awesome. Garchomp is a poser.
Gen IV: Honchkrow. How could a gangsta crow not be awesome?
Gen V: Excadrill. It's simply amazing in battle.
Gen VI: Sylveon. This thing has grown on me a lot. At first, I did not like it. Now, it's neck in neck with Leafeon for the title of my favorite Eeveelution.
Gen VII: Right now, Oricorio. I really like the design, even if it's not one for battle.
 
Kalos, at least for me it's a fun region, has my favorite starter

Kanto: Flareon
Johto: Umbreon
Hoenn: Delcatty
Sinnoh: Glaceon
Unova: Liepard
Kalos: Sylveon
adding Alola: Torracat
a small change - I'm loving Zorua more than Liepard for Unova
 
Kanto - Jolteon
Johto - Ampharos
Hoenn - Gardevoir
Sinnoh - Cherrim
Unova - Joltik
Kalos - Goomy
Alola - Vikavolt/Tapufini

Hoenn is my favorite region and Gardevoir and Jolteon are my favorite Pokemon
 
Changing some of my stuff from last time.
My favorite region is Hoenn Alola, followed by Hoenn and Johto. Out of the others, Kanto is the only one I've seen in its entirety but Kanto is so plain and dull compared to the others.

Now as for pokemon... this is difficult. I have lots of favorites in some regions.

Kanto: Charizard/Machoke/Flareon/All the Nidos
Johto: Jumpluff/Murkrow/Sneasel
Hoenn: Treecko/Zigzagoon/Aggron/Seviper/Lunatone
Sinnoh: Bidoof/Skorupi/Cresselia
Unova: Purrloin/Scolipede
Kalos: Fennekin/Florges/Spritzee/Pumpkaboo
Alola: Incineroar/Mudsdale/Ribombee/Vikavolt/Araquanid/Alolan Persian/Fomantis line/Morelull line/Salazzle... I love too many pokemon from this region.
 
Kanto: Arcanine - My favorite Pokémon ever.
Johto: Heracross - My favorite from the anime.
Hoenn: Absol - It was my best friend's favorite Pokémon and he has passed away, since then it has become better positioned in my ranks.
Sinnoh: Leafeon - My favorite Eevolution.
Unova: Sawsbuck - My first "legit" shiny ever (which I got on a handheld, not on an emulator). Sadly I prefer Leafeon to it.
Kalos: Tyrantrum - It's a m*@¨!#f&(!(%@ tyrannosaurus. How can we not love it?

Alola: Lycanroc Midday - When I saw Rockruff, I was 100% certain he was going to get an evo and started looking for designs on the internet. I fell in love with every design I saw and said to myself: "Well, Arcanine is going to lose its spot".

Luckily/Sadly what GF came up with it's evolution was not enough to replace my favorite Pokémon since I was a small kid.

As far as region goes, I have a preference for Kanto and Johto.

I think if I had to pick a favorite region it would be Sinnoh because a lot of my favorite pokemon are from that region! Besides Drapion, there's also Spiritomb, Infernape, Luxray, Giratina, Weavile, and Honchkrow.
 
Sinnoh is my favorite region!~ I just love the theme attached to it with the imprortance of the Legendary Pokemon and culture~ But Kalos and Alola follow close behind.

Simply vote on your favorite region and mention it along with your favorite Pokémon from each region. Easy, right?

Honestly, I like all regions lol. It may seem like a cop out answer, but it's true. Now... if someone kept impatiently asking me to choose one then I would have to go with Kanto.

Kanto: Lapras and Growlithe (can't choose one here)
Johto: Heracross
Hoenn: Swellow
Sinnoh: Lucario
Unova: Krookodile
Kalos: Hawlucha
Alola: Rockruff
