Gengar, mostly because it's a Ghost.
I already posted, but hey. I also liked haunter the first time i saw him. Scizor was the total badass in my mind the whole way through GSC

Except not for young and unoriginality, but...he is just soo badass. And awesome. When I first saw the Japanese first movie and heard the radio drama, I was 'wow', and therefore remains the only part of the Pokemon anime I still like. And perhaps the only part of it with any depth. I also have the entire FR/LG manga. >_>
The dubs were depressing. I have yet to find the original Japanese Mewtwo special, apart from Kokowa Dokoda's translated script.
Not to be off topic but who wouldn't let their kid play pokemon? O.o
It's a game about exploring nature and being fascinated with the creatures around you-- making friends and sharing dreams and advantures. What's not to like? This takes a slot as a typical kid's show in Japan.
Well I guess some might be uppity over the whole making-animals-fight deal but considering that the World Beatle Martial Arts Championship (that's right folks, international beatle wrestling) takes place in Japan, it's obvious that it's not an issue in their culture. Beatle wrestling/training/rearing is a VERY common past time their for small boys-- it actually was a source of inspiration to the author of pokemon (who surprise, was also a beatle fanatic).
If anything, it passes as a much more interest kid's show than something like Barney . . . xD
Seriously depressing. I managed to find Movies 4-6 in Japanese with Subtitles (<3), but if anyone could point me to a place where I could find *cough*pir@te*cough* 1-3 without dubs . . . boy would I be happy . . . the movies after 6 have too much computer animation . . . they're getting lazy. :P
parents don't like it because it's a distraction to a kid's study habit. @Chou I know of a place do you have MSN to chat?
Meh, I guess (it's distracting me from studying right now . . . lol)
squirtle love the turtle :P
Dewgong and Persian! They rock, I always use one or both of them in my teams even now
The first? Do you mean, the VERY VERY first pokémon, first generation?
Articuno, then. When Gold/Silver came out, Meganium and Ho-oh became top-three to me, along with the icy bird.
However, when I got my Ruby... All of them were to Forgotville (wtf) when I saw Gardevoir. It still is my favorite pokémon <3 But Empoleon and Yanmega are close calls too; whoever in Game Freak made Empoleon was incredibly inspirated, while I started liking Yanmega when I noticed all my teams work well (to the point I'm somewhat dependant ._.) with her.
And shiny Gardevoir beats everyone's asses.

Dragonite back back when I was like 10. Kingdra shortly changed that, though.
Mine was Ampharos, Tyranitar, and Raikou, Blissey...these were before I heard about competitive. Blissey owned me in battle tower w/ Thunder, Blizzard, Fire Blast, Softboiled...so gay
