My first ever game was Sword, and I took Scorbunny as my partner. I had NO IDEA what he was going to evolve into, and then he became some punk rabbit, then when he evolved into Cinderace, I instantly fell in love with him. I liked Pyro Ball, his cry, and just his general attitude is so great. He just kneels down and screams every time I won a gym battle. (Some of my friends call him a soccer bunny with wooly knickers. Took me forever to figure that out.)

    My 3rd favorite, Chandelure, came to be sometime last year when I went to storage to get my old Litwick plush from years ago. The Litwick line grew on me and a couple months later my dad traded me a Chandelure in Pokémon GO and she became lucky. She’s now one of my strongest Pokémon and was my second ever best buddy. I called her "Chandeliera" when I got her. Chandelure's been one of my favorites since. I have a level 100 Chandelure in Pokémon Scarlet on my main team and I love her too ^^.

    Most of my favorites I have because they are cool, I tried bringing my first Pokemon team from Y into Sword/Shield but because of the National Dex limitations its now impossible to do so.

    Zygarde; it was one of my first Pokemon cards, XY and XYZ were the first seasons of anime I watched, and we have a dog that literally looks like Zygarde, minus the green.

    I actually didn't like Delphox a lot at first. I thought it looked weird and awkward compared to Braixen. And since hating Delphox is a popular thing to do in the Pokémon community, I decided to consider Delphox garbage to fit in.

    But one time, I decided to do a Nuzlocke of Pokémon X and chose Fennekin (since it's the strongest, and despite not liking Delphox, I did like Fennekin). I let that Fennekin evolve into Delphox, and it was a really great Pokémon.

    Soon, I realised how underrated and overhated it is. It's a super cool Pokémon. It quickly became my favourite Pokémon ever. Yet it always gets ignored in favour of Greninja for some reason. Sometimes, I see people talking about how Braixen is cooler and acting like they expected it to just be Braixen but bigger. Which is pretty weird honestly, since because I rarely see people complaining about Wartortle and Blastoise's differences. I've seen people complain about it being bipedal, but... I'm pretty sure most starter final evolutions are. Yet everyone loves Infernape, Greninja, Incineroar, Meowscarada, and most of the others.

    In conclusion, Delphox is super cool, the best Pokémon ever made, and people should stop hating it.
