Tyrantrum: my first and ace Pokemon. I absolutely love dinosaurs;
Metagross: I'm a programmer, so it fits I guess;
Nihilego: I love jellyfishes. In my headcanon this Pokemon has the type and stats of Toxapex :Toxapex:;
Braviary-H: I also love living dinosaurs (i.e., birds). In my headcanon this Pokemon has the type and stats of Tornadus-T :Tornadus-Therian:;
Talonflame: black and orange is a cool colour combination (Zapdos-G :Zapdos-Galar: almost made the list). In my headcanon this Pokemon has the type and stats of Moltres :Moltres:;
Corviknight: Corvus sp. is my favourite bird (sorry but Honchkrow's :Honchkrow: design is not very good imo).

Tyrantrum: Dragon Dance sweeper
Metagross: Stealth Rock + Knock Off utility
Nihilego: Specially defensive (:Toxapex:)
Braviary-H: Assault Vest offensive pivot + Knock Off (:Tornadus-Therian:)
Talonflame: Physically defensive (:Moltres:)
Corviknight: Defogger

One Fakemon Allowed:

Velostrike (Electric/Fighting): it replaces Tyrantrum :Tyrantrum: as my first and ace Pokemon (the art is actually a Velocivolt by @Tubz_AZ, but I'm changing its type and name). My favourite extinct dinosaur is the Velociraptor, but I'm so disappointed with Dracozolt :Dracozolt:, so a Fakemon is the better alternative.

Velostrike: Offensive pivot
Metagross: Stealth Rock + Knock Off utility
Nihilego: Specially defensive (:Toxapex:)
Braviary-H: Wallbreaker (:Tornadus-Therian:)
Talonflame: Physically defensive (:Moltres:)
Corviknight: Defogger
 
I saw every single personal team in the thread, and I'm happy to see some other dinosaur-enjoyers. Interestingly Rampardos looks the most popular among all dinos.
My favorite mon, as many people who know me know. No surprise to see it here.
Rampardos is just very fun to use, and that makes it another one of my favorites.
Rampardos was the first Pokemon I ever EV trained. I watched a bunch of videos online of Pokemon Battle Revolution and I wanted to build myself a competitive team.
People who browse the datamining thread certainly know I've been planning Trick Room + Rampardos :P
Rampardos, this is the one mon I would keep around ever, I really like Its design.

Gogurt - impidimp someone generously traded to me that i used as my starter in scarlet
Lowell - gallade i hatched in pokemon Y, used a lot in postgame
Mia - shiny lurantis i caught while playing through moon
Regi-chan~ ♡ - shiny regigigas, was my first shiny legend

I mainly picked these 6 cuz I’ve had a soft spot for Tyrantrum for a long time, then Gengar and Clefable are mons I grew to love while on showdown, Aegislash and Meowstic were on every X/Y team I used and Espurr is my favorite mon. The final mon Cresselia is here because I love the moon and hence I love Cresselia a lot, feels like a good ace anyway.

Saw activity in this thread and felt compelled to make a more up-to-date card since I remember sort of winging it previously. The only thing that bothered me was that it would be kind of nice if they had icons for marks/ribbons to add further touches. Anyways my choices are mainly favorite starter due to highly resonating with me (I got back in August when I felt like doing a shiny reclaim after losing her back in 2018, with Intellectual mark as a bonus), Metagross is a near ribbon master (missing Master Rank ribbon, but has Sleepy Mark), Dragonite is old but gold fav (has Fishing Mark bc I thought of humoring a shiny fishing mark hunt but got bored and settled for non-shiny), Meowscarada bc I like cats (this one being the Mighty mark one), Grimmsnarl bc I like fae lore/myths (no marks bc imagine having mark luck), and Flutter Mane to have that triple Fairy vibes and I enjoy how much of a menace it was. Sadly, no mark on that one bc I only have Violet. Their names generally refer to types of sweets, treats, and confectionary (barring Alloy) since food names are my go to.

Overall, I feel more satisfied making this list. Thought of considering other options like Buneary, a few others from my favored types (Dark and Ghost-types primarily), but I don't have the mental energy to really articulate up an "honorable mentions" list rn.

Whether it's by travelling through regions with a packed team, watching the anime, playing side games, collecting cards, reading books, or playing competitive, each of us have had Pokémon in our lives. Most of us who've experienced the media franchise have found Pokémon to connect to more than any other. Those Pokémon became stored in some of our most precious memories. If you've clicked on this thread, I'm sure you have a team of Pokémon you find personal value in the most; whether because they are your favorites or just because they mean the most to your experience interacting with the media franchise. I encourage you to make your own personal Trainer Card with the six Pokémon you would have in your main team if Pokémon were real and just as friendly to the world as they are in theirs.​

Rules:
1) The Pokémon you should have in your Trainer Card are those who mean the most to you and your experiences. They are the ones you cherish the most for whatever reason.
2) Any Pokémon can go on your Trainer Card. This includes Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon, Ultra Beasts, and Smogon's CAP.
3) If you add a CAP, you can either post an image of the Pokémon next to your Trainer Card (while having the respective empty slots on your card) or you can edit your card with https://pixlr.com/x/ and add in your desired Pokémon.
4) Any amount of Pokémon can be in your card, as long as it's not above six. You can also have as many of the same Pokémon as you want up to six.
5) Follow National Dex mechanics (No more than one Mega Evolution or Gigantamax Pokémon. Indicate if you want to alternate between Pokémon). The anime and Pokémon Legends Z-A have made this ruling irrelevant.
6) You don't have to explain why your Pokémon are on your Trainer Card, but you can if you wish.

Have fun :blobwizard:
I crossed out rule 5 because the anime has given cases to allow more than 1 Gigantamax and Legends Z-A allows people to use up to entire teams of Mega Evolution. Rule 5 is proven no longer relevant.

- slowbro actually got me started playing pokemon, I think it was a video on YT about slowpoke evolving into slowbro and i found it funny
- kommo-o's insipration is really cool. I like how its based around a komodo dragon & a warrior
- heracross reminded me of a pet beetle i had
- garchomp is just a sick design & i liked using it in SS OU
- belibolt I used during an SV playthrough & its design was cute
- deoxys, all the forms are cool but i like normal & attack because the design is very unique & i like how normal deoxys has hands

scpetile is the first starter that I've got to the final evolution state. The shiny celebi is because I actually got one and for at least a month I've been telling people around me that I got a shiny celebi even though there is like only 1 of them that can recognize celebi, and gyarados is like my reliable partner in nearly all main line games, latios is like my first mystery which I got from Omega ruby, and deoa is just like my childhood favorite and still is one of my favorites by now
