After Trying It In-Game, Did it Change Your Mind?

Have you ever had this happen to you?

There was this one or even a few Pokemon that you either didn't care for or just couldn't stand....

UNTIL.... you tried playing in-game with them and your whole viewpoint changed?

Share with us your stories!

(I was thinking along the Unite game but I'm sure there are other instances of this across the other games as well, so let's not begrudge anyone the chance to participate if they would like to, ok?)

    For me, I almost don't want to admit it, especially when I first see the little green Pokemon come galloping out of our purple home base at the start of a match..... but yeah..... I might actually be.... GULP.... a fan of.... Chikorita's now.

    wow. I felt relief at admitting to that.

    Yep, even after the nerf from a few days ago, Meganium has moved up my list of "Favorite" supporters. I have FUN playing with Meganium as well as I feel I can contribute effectively to the overall team and match.

    (No worries, Jiggles 😉, you'll always be up there too. Now I just need to win you your black dress in the throwing ball thing.)

    I'm not quite sure I'm part of the 'Chikorita Army', but hey, I definitely do like their evolutions in game play.

    Pikachu

    Genuinely not a Pikachu fan but numbers don't lie

    I've got skillz with him

    I'm actually a Delphox fan now, but when I first started playing it in Unite I wasn't but I loved playing it

    And lastly Leafeon

    I love the Eeveelutions but I would only consider a few of them a favorite for me

    Leafeon is not one that I would call a favorite

    But it is SO FUN in Unite!

    I definitely agree with the Leafeon sentiment! I'm actually in the process of earning the license via the ladder as I type this. I hadn't tried any eeveelutions until the 2025 Eevee festival.... Leafeon was my favorite after trying out all of them. However I spent my puzzle pieces earned on Glaceon (also one I'm comfortable playing as now) since I heard the next battle pass with holowear was for Glaceon. )

    Delphox.... I haven't tried that one yet but I must say I love when there is one on my team and become very wary when in opposition!

    Pikaaaaaaaaachuuuuu!!!! 😁... glad you've got those skillz too! 😎

    And I'm adding Typhlosion to my list.... That one.... Oh man... That one is also a firey ball of fun!!!! One of the moves (Eruption) reminds me of Latios' Draco Meteor which, when I first saw that in-game coming against me... I was like.... "THAT! I want. THAT!!!!" And of course since I was KOd I watched longingly at the screen as they rained down on my team. Lol.

    Meowscarda, at first I was like "eh," then idk why but it kinda grew on me, so I decided to play it, then WOW was it fun! First time and I was KOing the opposing team like crazy! Meowscarda is awesome 😎
