Pokémon Black & White (be warned: spoilers)

[water dog]

i actually agree with zac, deoxys and rayquaza are 2 of my favorite pokemon because they are just pure unadulterated badasses but i would never use them because it ruins the immersiveness of pokemon for me. what makes me like pokemon so much is the ability to create a unique team of partners with sentimental meaning to you

my favorites are always changing, just a few months ago i loved manectric but thats only because of the experiences i had with him (on top of the fact that hes just a bad ass). now its woogur but thats only becuase i have a masssive hard on for all things nomadic/native american. back in the day my favorite was chansey because i overheard a conversation between some older kids saying how chansey was the most powerful pokemon and i was like "wtf is a chansey" and i looked it up and fell in love with chansey. i only like golduck today becuase in that same time i met some kids who liked pokemon at a hotel and we played pokemon in the pool and one of them was like "im a golduck, hes the best pokemon ever" and i just have good memories with golduck.

i feel like liking a legendary is very shallow. its hard to have trials and tribulations with a legendary because your just like oh heh im a 10 yr old boy heres this ultimate monster lemme catch it real quick. ok done, lets go be the best pokemon user in the universe out of completely nowhere when only a few days ago i had never even owned a pokemon before, bye!!

not to mention the fact that legendaries are typically the only one of their kind and have a set personality or w/e. you cant really make it yours because its NOT yours. you know what i mean. also it ruins the illusion when you battle someone with multiple legendaries, or you both have the same legendary because of the same reason zac has been arguing.

so even if you like a legendary (i do) it doesnt mean you HAVE to use it, just use somehting fun and fair, and dont bring tiers into this debate it has nothign to do with it.
