I realized I judge Pokémon by completely random things. Anybody else?

Apparently I care way more about a Pokémon's idle pose than I thought. Not stats. Not type. Just "Yup, that one stands kind of funny." Is there something random that makes you like a Pokémon more?

    Actually relatable

    Not only that but I care more about a Pokemon's design than stats

    Charizard, for example, isn't that strong in all honesty

    But I'm like "Looks cool let's use it"

    Ceruledge, Zacian, Aegislash Talon Flame, Ho-Oh, Corviknight, ... I'm gonna be honest here,... I was drawn to these ones for yes, superficial reasons, their look, their style, their species, their metal, their talons/feathers/fire.

    Yup, a Pokemon's design I'm guessing is what draws many of us to 💜 our fav Pokemon. (Especially because stats are diff in the various games). That's also why I play them regardless of the nerfs they receive in unite. I just try to make it work.

    Pokemon I like are always kind of arbitrary. Grookey is quite firmly number one, but if you get any more specific then that my answers will change constantly. Important factors include having been on my team for a while and being a Dragon type.

    I like looking at their personality and Pokedex!
    Cinderace gets itself in trouble when it gets a big head…
    Mimikyu never meant to hurt anybody, but it hid itself under a rag and tried to be lovable…
    Absol keeps warning people about danger even though they say it's a monster…
    Nihilego is a monstrous parasite with a split personality that makes it act like a little girl…
    Tatsugiri uses its wits to survive before strength…
    Sylveon holds its Trainer's hand with ribbons…
    Decidueye is quiet and loyal…
    Hisuian Arcanine is a giant fluff~…
    Raichu can ground itself to absorb electricity…

    It's definitely a bit random for me - design is really big for me. I like them cute but also kind of weird.

    It annoys me when Pokemon sizes are nowhere near what they're supposed to be... I force myself to accept that actual lore sizes wouldn't work gameplay wise, but it still bugs me.

    A I used it and liked it

    B its quirky
