[Icebreaker] What’s one Pokémon you didn’t like at first but now love?

Mod_Ginger · May 1

Was there a Pokémon you didn’t really care for at first, but something changed over time? Maybe you used it in a game, saw it in the anime, or it just grew on you. What flipped your opinion?

Decidueye

So when I watched the Sun and Moon anime, I was obsessed with Kukui/Masked Royal. And I loved his Incinaroar, of course. So for the longest time, I was completely and utterly obsessed with Incinaroar and never gave the other two starters a second thought. That changed, though, after I played Pokken Tournaments DX. So when I played Pokken I made the goal of playing every single Pokémon in it and mastering them. I like to think I did, but anyways one of those Pokémon was Decidueye. I loved that owl! It and Incinaroar tie for me now.

Another one is Blaziken

Literally the exact same as Decidueye but the thing is, I never even thought about Blaziken before Pokken. I never would have glanced in it in that game if it wasn't for my master all challenge. After playing it in battle, it instantly became my ace. I truly believe I had successfully mastered Blaziken and from that point on I loved the fighting chicken! Plus I watched Sapphire and Ruby and saw how awesome it was in that!

Didn't even like this one until I used it in a play through. Definitely awesome. The anime also influenced my opinion.

Lastly, Infernape

Ash's Infernape in battle is one of the coolest things ever. Easily had me obsessed with it.
