An Indepth Look Into A Geek's Soul

After a long time of not having this, it's time to bring it back, and what better to bring it back with than a good old geeky list of my favorite Pokemon.  Lets start this shall we?

Number Ten: Ursaring

Ursaring starts off my list here.  A couple of you, especially those who talk to me about pokemon, are completely shocked right now.  I never mention him, seeing as how he's nothing all that special.  The first games he was out in, Gold and Silver, I never used him, or even caught him I don't believe.  It wasn't until Pokemon XD that I really started using him and just fell in love with him.  You slap a Return on this guy and he just destorys people.  I love it.  Plus, I like the idea of a big old bear slapping your pokemon around.

Number Nine: Torterra

A relatively new guy, and I think he's the newest Pokemon on my list, is the starter from the Diamond and Pearl series.  He's a Ground/Grass, and really think the biggest reason I like him is because he learns Earthquake as soon as it evolves.  Plus, I like the idea of a Pokemon being like a mini Earth, destorying people.  Reminds me of a random DnD monster who's name escapes me at the moment.  He just reminds me of a raw wall of grass and dirt.  Plus, he has a tree growing on his back.  Hell yes.

Number Eight:  Alakazam

I think just about everyone likes this pokemon.  In the original games, you were almost stupid to not have him on your team.  This dude is a psychic power hosue of doom and power.  Plus, his name is cool.  His whole evolutionary line was pretty bad assed when it came to names.  Yeah, his power level has changed over the course of the games, but he's always been a damn good psychic pokemon.  Almost better than Mewtwo.  Almost.

Number Seven: Lugia

Ah yes, Lugia, the only legendary Pokemon on my list.  I think I first fell for this guy in Pokemon Silver.  He's the first legendary you can get in that game I think, and he's just pretty bad ass.  Plus, I think he's the only one to naturally learn Aeroblast, which is a sweet name.  He's also a pure badass in Pokemon XD.  Dark Lugia is strong as hell and you have to very uniquely purify him.  He's just awesome, and deserves the spot it got.

Number Six:  Dragonite

Now I know there are so called better dragons out there, especially if you like your competitive battling, but this guy was the original.  He was the one you fished for in the Safari Zone for hours on end, the one you don't mind leveling up to level 55, even though he sucks until then. He's an all around great guy to have on your team at the end of the game.  Sure, others might be stronger, faster, or more defensive, but he's so freaking sweet still. 

Number Five:  Swampert

It seems that I have a thing for defensive minded pokemon doesn't it?  Swampert was my favorite pokemon from the Ruby and Saphire series and really, it was a good pokemon.  It wasn't super great or amazing or anything like that, but that doesn't mean anything.  He's another guy who learns Earthquake.  I think I just like that move.  I think everyone likes that move, it's a great move.  I'm not a huge fan of this guys looks, which aren't anything all that special as you can see.  It's just his playability.  I was never disappointed when he was on my team.  He could hang with the best and totally kick ass.

Number Four:  Magnezone

This guy is a late comer in the land of my favorites. I really wasn't all that into him, or anyone else in his line, until Platinum came out.  I think I tried out Silver again a bit before that, and realized that he's simply amazingly strong.  He goes against what I traditionally see as an electric pokemon, seeing as how he's a slow moving hunk of metal, but I can see around that.  A lot of people give him guff because he's a newly evolved guy but he's totally cool.  I think just about everyone should have a few of them on the team.

Number Three:  Scizor

This one was a hard choice.  I loved Scyther for the longst time, and then he got an evolved form!  What the hell was I supposed to do?  I picked the evolved form.  Yeah, he doesn't have the speed of Scyther, but he's just as freaking sweet.  Plus he's red, he's steel, and he still freakng kicks ass.  Seriously, he just runs through people, it's pretty sweet.  Sure, he burns like a bisuit, but whatever you know?  He's a great guy.  He doesn't learn Earthquake, but hey, no one is perfect.

Number Two:  Gardevoir

Gardevoir is a strange choice for me.  I really don't know why I like it so much.  I think it has something to do with being a kick ass version of Alakazam, only with some special defense so it can take a hit if you need it to.  Plus, I liked Imprisom, even if it's not all that great.  I think it just has to be because it's such a strange looking Pokemon.  Is it a chick?  Is it an alien?  Hell, does it even have two eyes?  Who knows?  Not this Pokemon Master, that's for sure.

Number One: Venusaur

And last, but hardly least, is the mighty, the incredible, the powerful, Venusaur.  I love this Pokemon.  He's a big old, dinosaur looking thing with a giant flower on his back, but it's still freaking sweet.  I know grass isn't the strongest of all the types out there, and poison brings it down even more in my opinion, but that doesn't mean a thing to me.  I almost never use him as a defensive Pokemon, even though you should make him one, but hell, I can't help using Solar Beam and especially Razor Leaf. He's been my favorite since the games first came out, and I dont' forsee that changing any time in the future.

So there you have it, my top ten favorite Pokemon.  Crazy isn't it?  And that's that for the Pokemon tonight, I'll let you guys go.  See you all later.

Peace Out.
