Anthony's top lists: Top 20 Pokemon

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my countdown.

Ever since i like Smash Bros, but i also like another franchise, one is the game you're gonna catch them all.

Thats right, its Pokemon! :D

Pokemon was started 1996 in Game Boy with Red and Green in Japan and finally released Red and Blue in America in 1998 and it was a huge success for an RPG adventure and it became a franchise to next the next generations and i became a huge fan of it. And by that, i mean i watched an Anime when i was a little kid and i didn't have a GB until i had GB Advanced... ^^;

As in nowday, i still enjoy the franchise and it gets newer for the franchise. Including a Mega-Evolution that was first introduced in Pokemon Origins and Pokemon X and Y.

When you hanging out with your friends, you're always asking "Whats your favorite Pokemon", i mean everybody love Pikachu, Mewtwo, Lucario, Charizard and... Delibird. Anyone? Delibird???

Anyway, i felt to do my top list of my favorite Pokemons. So instead 10, im going two times of my list. Thats right, i pick 20 Pokemon in my list.

Just to let you know that this is my personal favorite Pokemon in my list. Some are great and some that i had nothing against. Like, i know lotta people said that "Teh 5th Gen suks!", but for me, i find some that are creative and interesting, unlike some that are stupid, which il make my least favorite Pokemon list next time...

So, lets get started, shall we?

Number 20: Venusaur

Venusaur is the final evolve of a starter Pokemon Bulbasaur in the first Gen. I mean, its one of my earliest pick when i was playing Pokemon RedFire on GBA. I was originally picked Charmander, i but i got ass kicked by Brock and Misty because of its weakness, i decided to start all over and picked Bulbasaur and its much better. Anyway, Venusaur looks pretty cool for the final evolution. Sure, its kinda similar as before, but it has a flower on the spine. And for added Bonus, it was picked up for the Mega-Evolution and its... Well, looks similar as the original evolution... Yeah, great job Nintendo...

Number 19: Porygon

Porygon is one of a underrated Pokemon because how rare it is. In the first gen, you can find it on Celadon's Prize corner and it cost about 8300 coins. In the remake, it was repriced with 9999 coins in my RedFire?! What the F***!?

Corporate Driver: *laughing at the irony while holding a box of coins* That sucker will never get it! XD

Unfair price, man... Anyway, Porygon is pretty interesting i ever got when i played. Which im most Pokedex, it is said that Porygon was made from computer that it has a code protection and it can also entering a cyberspace. Pretty damn cool. :) But the evolution is pretty tricky, because you need to give it two items to let it evolves for Porygon2 (for Up-Grade) to PorygonZ (for Dubious Disc).

However, it appeared once in anime with the episode called "Computer Warrior Porygon", because in one scene, the antivirus shoot a rocket missiles at Ash and his gang and Team Rocket, until Pikachu strike them with its thunderbolt with the explosion with a flashing red and blue, this scene cause 600 kids in Japan has a serious problem that they're taken to the hospital because of a epileptic imagery. This incident was so bad that the show was on hiatus for four months. Rumor has it that there's the English dub was planned, but it was never shown because in the America of that. And sadly, because of its controversial episode, the creator of the anime Kunihiko Yuyama decided that Porygon will never appear in multiple of anime. Its a shame, because some people like me actually love this Pokemon. The same thing happens with Jinx, because of racism. Oh well, it makes the prefect reason why its on Number 19... :(

Number 18: Meloetta and Genesect

Now the reason i pick two of them on my list, because they're look impressive but they're easily rare to get them.

For Genesect, its one of the coolest legendary Pokemon i've ever seen, but i think its the only legendary bug Pokemon. What makes cooler, that it has a canon on its because, it has four special techno types such as fire, water, electric and ice. But you need to give it four drives for beating a weakness Pokemon, without them, you're boned. Genesect is not pretty easy to find it, but i heard you can get it in November 1st 2016 to February 27th 2017 for the 20th anniversary in the sixth gen like X and Y and Omega Ruby and Sapphire. Il sign up to get this big bug! :D

As for Meloetta, it looks pretty cute, i mean i've seen some cute legendary Pokemon there (with some that will be on my list), but it will be on lower list because its also rare as Mew. It sings a melodies that it makes emotions like happy or sad. It can also have two forms from its signature movements called "Relic song", one was Aria (aka green) and Pirouette (aka orange for fighting). It can only found on Spring 2013 and i never got it, because i had the original DS. :(

But there's no worry about it because like Genesect, i heard it will be back at December 1st to 24 2016. Again, il sign up to get this melodic Pokemon.

They're might be rare, but they will be back for the 20th anniversary. ;)

Number 17: Tyrogue

I was originally to pick Hitmonchan, but i changed to Hitmontop, then i decided to pick Tyrogue instead... ^^;

Anyway, Tyrogue looks pretty badass as a young Pokemon in the 2nd Gen like Pichu, Magby or Elekid. But Tyrogue looks kinda older as a baby Pokemon. But what it makes more interesting in my list that it has three evolution, but there's a catches. To evolve Hitmonchan, you need more defense points, to evolve Hitmonlee, you need more attack points and for Hitmontop, its gonna be a hard one, because you need to keep attack and defense in the same points.

Aside the flaws, i was wondering what if Tyrogue was trained by Jackie Chan or maybe Chuck Norris?

Anyone, Chuck Norri--?

Number 16: Tyrantrum

"Oh man, i feel like im running out of ideas for Pokemon design for... Oh i know, lets bring a dinosaur, because you, every kids love those prehistoric creatures! :D"

Yeah, thats what i first saw Tyrunt, i mean i was surprised that they made a Dinosaur Pokemon (even its a Dragon Rock type Pokemon... ^^;). But to get it, you need to find Tyrunt if it was revived from a Jaw Fossil, but i find it kinda easy when i caught it in Pokemon X. But its final evovle Tyrantrum looks pretty damn cool. Whats next, Tyrantrum vs Carnotaurus?! 0_0

Hope that Nintendo will make another Dinosaur look-a-like Pokemon in the 7th Gen, when they do, it will easily earn 10 out of 10. Because i also like dinosaurs.

If i ever see it in real life, i'd better run away if its gonna kill me like in Jurassic Park... ^^;

Number 15: Aegislash and Honedge

Here's another tie on the list, but they're a part of family.

When i saw them, i was also surprised with a Sword Pokemon. Honedge is a cool looking ghostly sword Pokemon in the 6th Gen. But Honedge is extremely dangerous, according to a Pokedex, it is said if you pick it up from a a handle, a blue cloth arm is wrapping your arm up and you will die to lose your health...

Wow, we're off to a good start with a disturbing Pokemon entries, right? 0_0

I was thinking to include Doublade, but i find it pretty lazy design to be on my list, thankfully there's a final evolve Aegislash, which its much more better design. With a golden blade and it has a shield that it has two forms, whether it put on a blade or maybe it holds a shield from its cloth handle.

But the fun fact about the final evolved one is that in Pokedex entry, it said that if you have it, it said that you're the king. Damn, a Pokemon trainer turning into the king from Aegislash? 0_0

Number 14: Beedrill

I was thinking to bring it with Butterfree, which i had them when i was in first gen adventure. But i decided to go with only Beedrill.

Anyway, if you though the real bees are scary in your childhood? How about a bigger with size that almost like human size (even though Beedrill stand 3'03" feet height) with drills on its arms. That will give you a nightmare right? Well, not for me. ^^;

Even though im not be afraid of bees when i was younger (until now... ^^;), Beedrill may not be little higher, because it has a simplistic design, but like i said, Beedrill might be bigger than a regular bees.

Like Venusaur, Beedrill was picked up for a Mega-Evolution and boy the design looks creepily better. I mean, it looks like what a bee is turning into a wasp with two extra drills to sting everyone. 0_0

I felt little bit disappointed that they never pick Butterfree for Mega-Evolution. Oh well, wait for the 7th Gen...

Number 13: Machamp

Ok, im pretty that Nintendo made it something a little bit edgy for kids. Unless you counted Castform for the most laughable design ever for its "Weather Balls"... Yeah, im sorry about that...

Anyway, when i first saw him, i was like "A Pokemon in black underwear with four arms? I don't want a Gosh Darn thing, i want a Sandshrew card!" Weird way to say in my childhood aside, i find him pretty handsome. Which im aware that idea was based on a wrestler with four arms. I wonder what in WWE when Machamp is fighting over... Maybe Daniel Bryan?

Anyway, not only the design looks handsome, but its a little but similar of Machoke, without some red spots on its limbs and im pretty sure it has a duck lips thingy. Weird... ^^;

Even though he was never picked up for Mega-Evolution (Which i was expect its design would be like a MMA design), he was actually picked up for an upcoming game called Pokken Tournament (Of course, this is a game that i will like to play with my Wii U. :)). If you guys really want to me to review it? Wait for March...

Number 12: Klefki

Oh man, im having a hard times without my beloved Key chains! But, i was wondering if i have one that its alive? So here's Klefki, which i gotta say, its most interesting idea i've ever seen. I will work for a key collections. I mean, it can keep them for your house, your store, your restaurant, your school or even a bathroom. Ok, maybe not the last one... ^^;

Well, according to a Pokedex entry, it is said that Klefki is more protective than any regular key chains from the thieves that they want to steal a multiple of keys. I mean, i really wish i have a Klefki in real life, but its just my imagination.

Unless if we're gonna make game show called "Guess the Poke-keys with Klefki". So, who's with me?

Number 11: Pidgeot

You know, its not easy to ask whats your favorite bird Pokemon. I was thinking to pick like Fletchling or Pidove on my list, but decided to go with the one that started all with Pidgeot. Pidgeot is one bird that i remembered when i always familiar with Pidgeotto. Even though the design is simplicity as before. But i still like that early bird. ^^

Like two previous Pokemons before, it was picked up for a Mega-Evolution, and to be quiet, it looks colorful with extra blue. Also, Mega Pidgeot, why you have a creepy eyes? What are you, Patrat?

Overall, Pidgeot is the one bird Pokemon that i always remembered, even though i haven't see Ash's Pidgeotto's evolution... ^^;

Number 10: Lopunny

Well, we're off to a starting of fan-servicy. Anyway, Lopunny looks beautifully cute as an anthro bunny. :3

Which i am aware that she was based on a Playboy bunny girl, like said, Nintendo made something a teeny tiny edge. For her Pokedex entry, it is said that she has a sense of danger and not matter if you touch her ears, she's... kicking at you? Um, i though she was supposed to be friendly, not a B*****.... ^^;

Speaking of kicking, she's also known for her kicking attack. So Lopunny is like a Pokemon version Chun-Li.

But the reason why she's in the middle of the list, its because she's pretty fragile for the attack, because no matter if she misses, she's end up hurting herself. So, hope you're lucky that she will never gonna kill herself. The second reason is that when i tried to evolve is pretty complicated. But thanks for the internet, it turns you need to evolve for Frienship like catching Buneary with Luxury ball, more walking like more than 100 steps, going on massage and hope you're lucky to have Soothe bell if she's friendly enough. So, you gotta take your time to her points.

As you probably ask, yes, she was picked up for a Mega-Evolution and i gotta say, she got a new clothes and new ears. I guess its because they're trying not to ripping off Chun Li... ^^;

Even though she might be a very good kicker, i was wondering if she will join in Pokken Tournament, so, only Nintendo will tell...

Number 9: Legendary Golems

It is quiet common that we heard about the group of legendarys like Mew Duo. But these Golems Pokemon are pretty cool colorful.

They're big, heavy and they're pretty hard for their defense points. (Well, minus Regice, it has 100 Def points)

When i first encountered those temples, i had no idea what are those for and i decided "Aw forget it, il focus on Kyogre... (Which i had Sapphire version on GBA)". It turns out that you need to solve the puzzle to going in Sealed Chamber which it was located on Route 134. Once you did, the three temples will open on Route 111 (Your goal is right right, down down and Strength to get Regirock.), Route 105 (Your goal is to have... 2 minutes to get Regice, really?!) and Route 120 (You goal is stay in the middle and Fly to get Registeel). If you asked me, i caught them all, especially i caught Registeel with a luckiest single ball (Which i used a Premier Ball.), i mean Holy S***, i had a good start, right? Well, when i tried to get Regirock and Regice, i waste so many Poke-balls to get them, but i managed to caught them. Btw, they entries are quiet interesting, like Registeel has a hardest metal body, Regice is pretty damn cold with air frigid over -328 degrees Fahrenheit (Holy S***, man! 0_0) and for Regirock, it was made entirely of rocks and if it got damaged, it heals itself.

As for Regigigas, this thing like two times bigger than humans. 0_0

But getting it is a different story, because it was first founded in the 4th Gen, which if you get Golem duos, you need to go in Snowpoint Temple to get it. But since we're in AS and OR, its pretty much the same, but it was located the same temple of Regice. And i did managed to caught.

But Regigigas has a flaws, because its a normal Legendary Pokemon that you'll easy KO with Fighting Pokemon and it has a really slow start.

Number 8: Greninja

Well, this isn't the first time i saw in Pokemon X and Y, i first saw it in the trailer of Super smash Bros Wii U/3DS and i was very surprised about a Pokemon Ninja. Well, this isn't the first ninja we got, the first one is Ninjask in the 3rd Gen.

Anyway, Greninja is a final evolve of starter of X and Y, Froakie. I actually picked it up in the game, because its for a promotion of my all-time favorite game on Wii U. Since it was it was finally evolve, it made me into a joy of my fav starter. ^^

As for Greninja in Smash Bros, it was rather good, because it went pretty fast for ninja, which im not an expert player with a Ninja frog, i was more expert to Mii fighters or Mr. Game and Watch (Well, maybe... ^^;), but at least its nice to have it in the game, so maybe it will come back in Super Smash Bros NX or maybe he'll picked up for Pokken Tournament. Like i said before, only time will tell...

Number 7: Pikachu

Ah yes, who could i ever forget to pick one of the iconic Pokemon in our generation. ^^

Pikachu is everywhere that we've seen, we saw it in Smash Bros, Anime and some that done of Parody like in South Park.

As a kid, i always love this electro mouse. As i grew today, i always like it, even though i like the other creature.

Since we always love Pikachu, Nintendo decided to make a Third game of the first Generation as Pokemon Yellow version. And i believe that it might be the last GB game, until Nintendo release the same game with colors with Game Boy Color. As we played, its still a classic game along with Red and Blue.

It was also known be with Ash Ketchum in the anime, even though it still remains outside of Poke-ball, especially it does its signature attack, thunderbolt.

As in nowday, we see a different type of Pikachus, especially a female one with a heart shape look-a-like tail, some that are cosplaying and some that has a tail with black triangle.

Overall, Pikachu will always be forever in our experience with its spin-off games, merchandise and cartoon. ^^

Number 6: Darkrai

When i saw, i was pretty scared to look at it as a teenager. Until i read about it, it is said that this Legendary Pokemon makes nightmare and a member or lunar duo with Cresselia.

In other words, it will haunt people and Pokemon's dreams when it comes to a new moon. I mean, i had a nightmare that i was trying to defeat it, but Darkrai is overpowered and kill me.

As today, im no longer be afraid or it, i mostly say that it might an interesting idea to create a nightmare fuel of Pokemon, but getting it is a long story... ^^; Unless il get it at May for the 20th anniversary.

Even though im no longer have a nightmare of it, at least il be fine and hope il get it.

Unless Darkrai will go "I will look for you... I will find you... And i will kill you..."

Number 5: Lucario

Lucario is one of the fan favorite Pokemon in the 4th Gen. I mean, i always want him in my party.

He was also known to be prideful and loyalty for trainers, when it comes to a battle or something.

In Pokedex entry, it is said that he was notable for his signature of Aura power, knowing thoughts and even understand human speech what he does.

Like Lopunny, you need more friendship points for Riolu to evolve Lucario. I mean, this isn't fair for the evolution, most Pokemon can evolve from leveling up or even give a stone, but get a points of friendship is not gonna be easy. Like i said you have to take your time for a higher points.

Its also know that Pokemon 6th Gym Leader Korrina demonstrated us about a Mega-Evolution with Lucario, which it makes the introduction of Mega-Evolution, or maybe Pokemon Origins did that before X and Y... ^^;

Its also known that he was picked up on Super Smash Bros Brawl, which many fans are not very impressed because they want Mewtwo back, unless they came back on Wii U and 3DS. Even though they both have a similar attack like their energy balls, their final smash, but very different. And he was already picked up for Pokken Tournament to show Locario vs Machamp.

Overall, Lucario is always the badass and interesting Pokemon since the 4th Gen.

Number 4: Mewtwo

Ok, i think i picked eight legendaries in my list, so il promise, just one more Legendary Pokemon in a near top of my list. Its either this im gonna make my 10 Legendaries Pokemon in my future list.

Anyway, Mewtwo is legendary Pokemon that i remembered saw "Pokemon the first movie" and i find it awesome. Even though the movie maybe great, but it may not be fresh than the anime show... ^^;

It was notable that it was created by scientist for an experimental DNA between to be kinda like Mew, its until when they tried to endowing its compassionate heart, but failed because Mewtwo broke free and destroy a lab. (Yeah, thats what it said in the movie, or maybe in Pokedex entry...)

Of course if you asked, it was picked for Mega-Evolution, twice, which it has two types of Mega-Evolution design, mine is the X version that i find it pretty badass and more interesting. No offense Mewtwo Y fanboys... ^^;

And if you ask me about it, no i haven't got it in Redfire on GBA, but i actually managed to caught it in Pokemon X with me with Charizard vs Mewtwo, kinda like in Pokemon Origins.

Like Lucario, it was picked to be in Smash Bros, but before, it was on Melee. As in nowaday, Nintendo finally decided to bring it back on DLC back in early 2015, which i was impressed to bring it back, unlike Corrin the "Whats-his-face" who's picked up at "The end". (Yeah, im still pissed about it,) Aside that, it was also picked on Pokken Tournament, twice. Yeah, apparently, Nintendo decided to making two types of Mewtwo in the game. The same thing happened with Lugia, but that was Gamecube.

Overall, Mewtwo is a legendary Pokemon that we all now and love though out the generations along with Mew.

Number 3: Blaziken

Aw yeah, this is favorite Badass Pokemon in my podium when i picked him up in Omega Ruby.

Blaziken is one of my all-time starter in the 3rd Gen. Well before, when i played Sapphire version on GBA, i picked up Mudkip, which i though it was awesome, but since i saw Blaziken, i decided to picked it up in the remake version on 3DS.

I mean, hwne i picked, i find that Torchic is pretty cute, but then he turns of cuteness into a badass, which i find it kinda funny for the idea. Its like you bring a young kid to a gym to have biggest muscles.

Its kinda disappointed that i like to play him on Smash Bros, i guess its because they're try not to ripping off Lucario. But, at least he was picked up in Pokken Tournament, so, it will be promising. :)

Blaziken, the flaming badass Pokemon that it will kick in the ass!

Number 2: Charizard

Ah yes, the one that started it all when we played. Charizard is the Pokemon that we always picked and love. Like i said before, i tried to start with Charizard in Redfire, but i failed a lot of rematches with Brock or Misty and i had to pick Bulbasaur. ^^;

Charizard is known to be furious, with being stronger to breaking rocks, powerful fires and it also flying around to find a stronger opponent because... More Experience points?

Like Mewtwo, it was picked up for a Mega-Evolution, but with two designs. Mine is X and i gotta say, the Mega-Evolution X design is pretty damn cool with a different colors with a blue fire. Charizard Y, eat your heart out.

Like Pikachu, Charizard is also a popular Pokemon though out the Generations, it was appeared in Super Smash Bros Brawl, but it was part of Pokemon trainer with Squirtle and Ivysaur. When the Wii U and 3DS made a trailer with Greninja, they decided to only bring Charizard in the sequel, i mean thats a nice choice with our favorite fire-breathing Pokemon. Not only that, but it was also picked up for Pokken Tournament.

Charizard, a famous Pokemon starter who's pretty intense of fire power.

And now, my number one all-time favorite Pokemon goes to...

Number 1: Gardevoir

Ah yes, she is not only my all-time favorite, but also my fictional best Pokemon friend in my heart. What? You guys think il marrying her? No, i don't want a wedding bestiality! XC

Anyway, Gardevoir is the Pokemon is not only underrated in the 3rd Gen, but its also for the fans favorite, if you seen on images of her with some that are nice, some that are comical to make fun of a Male Gardevoir and some that has a Fan-service... ^^;

Not only i like her design, but also her behavior. According her entry, it is said that whenever she senses where Trainer's in trouble, she'll coming to save him/her by creating a black hole shield and she can also see through future to figure out if something is good or bad.

I mean, i always keep her in party in my journey whether on X or Omega Ruby. Speaking of 6th Gen, she was picked for a Mega-Evolution and she looks pretty cool, her design looks it something straight out of wedding or Victorian Age.

When i was aware she's in Smash Bros, i might be anticipated for like Brawl or Wii U/3DS and... She sucks... She's just nothing but a toy that whenever you use a random Poke-ball, all she does is wondering around and using reflect from your opponent, i really wish she's picking up as a playable like Shantae...

And speaking of playable, i was very happy that she was chosen in Pokken Tournament.

Another thing i like, is her family, like Ralts is so cute, Kirlia is also cute with her ballet design and Gallade is also cool, even he was also picked for a Mega-Evolution, he's got a bigger blade and he looks like a brave hero.

If you really wondering to know why she's my fictional friend, its because in my origins with me and her, i got bullied by the bad group, then fell off from the small cliff and lay on the grass that i was about to die. Its not until one mourning, a female Ralts appeared that she found me that she felt sorry of my pain and she's about to cry that im dead. However, i slowly wake up that i heard her crying, i was patting her to calm down that im not dead, i was injured with a lot of scratches on my body. Until i was taken to a hospital to heal myself. In the end, i came back to see her back and finally, i started to train her to get more experience, especially her evolution and even obtain a Gardevoirite for a Mega-Evolution.

Gardevoir, a Psychic/Fairy Pokemon who's protective, always sense the future and caring trainers and she makes my perfect reason to be my Number one Favorite Pokemon.

Now there plenty of Pokemon that i like that they didn't get on my list, here's my honorable mentions.
