It could certainly be interesting to discuss this kind of thing with other users and perhaps get others more interested in making their own topics as well. The only way the forum is going to be less "dead" is if we work together to make some threads for people to discuss in and enjoy themselves, even tailor them to things that you and others like.
The topic of this thread is What is your favorite Pokemon type?
So as everyone knows there were 17 Pokemon types up until the XY series came out where they added the brand new Fairy type which I'm sure shocked many of us.
What I would like to know is-
Which was your favorite? Have you changed your favorite Pokemon type as you've gone through your Pokemon phase? Did you change your Pokemon type to Fairy when it came out?
Also, why was a type your favorite at one point? What made you change it if you did? What's your new reasons for your current type?
And lastly, if you had to pick one Pokemon from your type (Dual-types count) which would you choose to have in real life?
Feel free to answer any or all of these questions. I'll be answering them all to start the topic off with.
Favorite Type
For me, my favorite type would have to be Dragon. It's been my favorite all throughout my Pokemon career, straight from the beginning Dragon Pokemon of Dratini's line. I've never truly wavered in my love for the Dragon type, mostly because dragons in general happen to be one of my favorite creatures imaginable.
Why do I like dragons so much, and by extension Dragon Pokemon? Well, I guess in a way it's because dragons are seen as the typical "fantasy" and "other wordly" creatures. They're the monsters and guides from myths that exist in almost all cultures. They can be good or evil but they're always powerful. The hero either destroys them or they guide the hero in their journey.
Outside of that is the fact that dragons simply look beautiful to me, either dangerous and deadly-looking ones or the truly beautiful ones (Such as the ice dragons I've seen some artworks of). There's something different about dragons that I just can't find in any other type of mythical or real creature, something that pulls me to them and makes me like them above all else.
Any Changes
I did say that I never "truly" wavered in my devotion to Dragon type. I can say that because while I've been interested in one other type of Pokemon it couldn't hold my favorite position. What type is that? Well, it's the Bug type.
Bug Pokemon are really fascinating to me. I'm the type of girl who loves the creepy crawlies. I want a pet snake. I like how spider crickets look, I like how when you get a close-up picture of a spider sometimes they look like this adorable thing with wide eyes staring so innocently at you.
Suffice to say Bug Pokemon have held a special place in my heart even from the time I caught a golden Caterpie in my Silver game all those years ago, evolving it all the way into a Butterfree and keeping it on my team until the very end. There's been lots of interesting and cool bugs added into the games as well, outside of the deadly Beedrill there's the Venipede line and even the sharp-edged Mega Scizor in XY.
The one Bug Pokemon that I love over all other Bug types would have to be Joltik however. It was the only one I could love almost as much as I love the Dragon type Pokemon. Just so cute and adorable, it warms my heart just to look at artworks of those adorable eyes~
One Pokemon
Because my current favorite, and no doubt permanent favorite, type is Dragon I'm going to have to pick one of them as my absolute favorite. The one I'd keep with me if I could ever have a Pokemon in real life. And it's a simple choice, really, because... there's simply no other competitor.
That's right, Dragonair. Why Dragonair you may ask? Why not Dragonite, or the little adorable Dratini?
Dragonair is because it's the most beautiful Dragon type to have ever existed. Sleek, beautiful colors, soft wing ears, pretty jewel adornments. And just a serene and calm face almost all the time.
Just perfect for someone like me, a great companion to snuggle with (If you can fit the giant creature into your room!) and fly around on. It's even said that Dragonair releases a "gentle aura" that can soothe and relax people, and I know that having a companion whose very existence soothes you would help a lot.
And let's not forget the fact that Dragonair can control the weather however it wants! I mean, really. Want a snow day off from school? Bam, Dragonair causes a white Christmas. Have to run home through the rain? Whoosh, no more clouds and the sky is clear as the ocean's surface.
There's just almost no problem this beautiful creature can't solve. ;3
So that's my favorite type and my Pokemon choice. What's yours?
