Alakazam all the way. Alakazam was and always will be one of my favorite Pokémon. He is simply better than Gardevoir in-game, and he has a mysterious feel to him given that I couldn't ever get him as a kid since none of my friends played Pokémon. Gardevoir, on the other hand, just can't compare when it comes to being a badass. She is elegant, but her pre-evolutions are lame (well, Ralts is ok, but Kirlia is lame...). Alakazam in RBY was what every 8-year-old boy wanted: a stupidly powerful, fast attacker that will destroy everything with just one move. Also, that episode with giant Gengar and Alakazam fighting? Oh my Lord, that was sick. I think Gengar vs Alakazam would have been better.
 
Gardevoir. She saved me on both my first Sapphire and Platinum runs when I was just starting out Pokémon. Tracing Volt Absorb from Volkner's lead Jolteon was pretty funny, and she was always handy for intimidating Gyarados etc.

Gardevoir. What the heck are you Alakazam supporters thinking?

Alakazam has 5000 IQ, yet he is fucking stupid because

1. Even with that IQ he doesn't know what to do and relies on a stupid trainer's commands, which makes him even more stupid

2. As a female Alakazam I thought it's smart enough to shave its moustache, but no it's so stupid that's why it's fugly

3. It should be smart enough to not use two fucking spoons when eating, but it's so stupid it can't tell what a spoon is so it never uses those spoons for eating

Alakazam with 5000 IQ? More like -5000 lol

Gardevoir. That 5000 IQ isn't helping it learn a fifth move is it? You'd expect with 5000 IQ it should have a MUCH wider movepool, if not one that encompasses every single move. Don't forget abilities too.

Conclusion: Alakazam is a conman. :(
 
Gardevoir. My favorite Pokemon. The design is awesome. She's majestic, sexy, powerful, loyal, and does whatever it takes to protect her trainer. In RSE she was a great Pokémon to use as she was able to take on the gym leaders and shred with Psychic. Even in competitive play she is not that bad. She has beastly special attack, good special defense, and a badass ability in Trace. I find her a great revenge killer with a choice scarf.
 
I've already voted but I wanted to comment on how just about every anti-Alakaaam vote uses the 5,000 IQ lore as a reason to vote against it. "You'd think it could learn a 5th move, har har;" "It wouldn't need a trainer to tell it what to do, hyuck hyuck;" "Why does it have two spoons, tee hee."
 
Normally I am not bothered to vote since usually I don't really care that much. But now, I have to go with Gardevoir. Alakazam is badass, but Gardevoir has much more personality in her (or him, I suppose) and has always been amongst my favorites.
 
well, there was this one time when i was drunk and changed my msn picture to an alakazam with purple armour, my font to purple, and my name to "ALAKAZAM, FUTHERMUCKERS" because i wanted to entertain one of my friends. i believe she was in art history class (for an arts requirement; apparently it's very boring, don't take it unless you need to), and i started saying outrageous things like...

(heavy profanity)
DO YOU SEE HOW FUCKING MANLY I AM. MY FACIAL HAIR COULD GET TO THE CENTRE OF A FUCKING TOOTSIE ROLL POP WITHOUT A SINGLE LICK BECAUSE THEY ARE SO FUCKING AMAZING. GREEN [her boyfriend] COULDN'T GROW A GOOD FACE OF HAIR IF IT BIT HIM ON THE ASS WHILE DANCING NAKED TO A MEXICAN SALSA. HE LOOKS LIKE A GODDAMN PEDOPHILE IF HE EVEN FUCKING ATTEMPTS IT. GET THAT HYPNO SHIT OUTTA HERE. GET. THAT. HYPNO. SHIT. OUT. OF. HERE.

so i have to go for alakazam
 
Gardevoir. One of the most aesthetically appealing pokemon in the game. Alakazam is cool, but can't ignore Gardevoir.
 
Gardevoir. It may well be that Alakazam has more competitive usefulness, but Gardevoir wins out in the appearance contest, which is generally determinative for me. Gardevoir is no slouch in its ability to dish out damage and does not require trading to evolve. I might have actually used Alakazam and his relatives had he been readily accessible.
 
Oh, this would be tough if Gardevoir wasn't in my top 10 favorites. Alakazam looks very cool, and the massive SpA+Spe augmented by magic guard life orb is amazing. I really like powerful psychic pokemon, but I also like feminine pokemon so...
Gardevoir
 
I like them both, but Alakazam is a clear favorite. His design is eerie and mysterious - while obviously humanoid, I can't quite tell whether the line evolved from feline or vulpine ancestors - and looks bizarre in a very Mewtwo-esque way. He's also got incredible speed and power to work with in battle, isn't obvious Rule 34 bait, is hyperintelligent, and actually looks like a threat to face.
...Oh, and he has a mustache that puts everything else in existence to shame.
 
Alakazam: 15/16 (not counting again)
Gardevoir: 20

Gardevoir wins!

Look at my signature. Now back to me.

Granbull is one of my favourite Pokemon, for no good reason. Aesthetically, you could say that Ursaring looks cooler, but Granbull has an awesome thug attitude, and don't care about no "Fairy Pokemon" classification.

Okay found a proper reason why Granbull is better than Ursaring.

DAT NOSTALGIA
 
Granbull

Ursaring's design is really boring in my opinion. It's just a brown bear with just a yellow circle to make it look interesting. Whilst I don't like Granbull that much, I think it has a more personality in its design.
 
I personally like Ursaring more. He's more useful competitively, and I like his design more. Granbull isn't bad by any means. I just don't like its design (although Ursaring is also rather lacking in this department). Both are badass in their own way, but I can't deny Ursaring his vote.
 
Ursaring.

I've never liked Granbull, I always thought it was incredibly cartoony looking. Ursaring on the other hand, looks like the badass it is.
 
ursaring. i used to call my best friend my pedobear because he's five years older than i, and my mum was like "he's a pedophile omfg" (he wasn't; he's the nicest guy i've ever met and hasn't ever done things like back me into a corner lol) but we both found it funny so i occasionally called him my ursaring.
 
Ursaring

is just a pokemon. Another pokemon. Not much design-wise, not much competitive-wise, no particular nostalgia feelings, nothing at all. Maybe I guess I find bears cool, they look kinda brawly and protective.
Anyway, as I was saying, Ursaring is just a pokemon. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Granbull, on the other hand, is easily among the worse pokemon ever. Easily below the Kami trio, Ferrothorn and Bronzong.
Everything about it is wrong and ugly. Seriously guys, look at it. It screams "UGLY" all over the place. Of course I like dogs more than bears but that one had to be the worst race/breed (what's the word I'm looking for here?) ever.
Ugly eyes, ugly fangs, everything about this mofo is ugly! Even the color is ugly! Seriously it's pink but not the blatantly gay (thus confident) shiny Heracross pink, it's a grey pink that is both unnatural (it's pink) and homophobic (it tries to be grey).
The pre-evo makes my point kinda more obvious: It tries to look angry and brawly and all (commendable, given how UGLY it is) and then it wears a frilly skirt on its neck. Plus it's pink. JESUS just what is up with that concept?
Plus there's this: Granbull looks like the mascot of the most hated football team around my parts
