Hang on, let me find the old ones; I just want to stick in some links for reference… and also remember what the hell I said the first time…
Least favourite of each generation, favourite of each generation, least favourite of each type, favourite of each type.
All right, let’s see…
Least favourite of this generation is Dedenne, hands down. I generally felt that X and Y had better designs than Black and White did, overall; they had fewer that seemed derivative of earlier ones, and some really cool and weird stuff. Even the ones that I don’t like are generally pretty interesting. Except Dedenne, who is dumb.
Favourite of this generation is much harder, but Trevenant is definitely up there, and so is Malamar. One of those two, probably.
Now, do any of the 6th-generation Pokémon manage to usurp spots on the two type lists?
Amaura and Aurorus, from an analytical perspective, are not terribly clever or interesting designs, I think, but I love them anyway for reasons of dinosaurs, and I think I can give them Rampardos’ old spot as my favourite Rock-types.
As I said in the original list, I’m not a huge fan of most Flying-types, but I am really fond of both Hawlucha and Noivern. Either of them could claim that spot. Hawlucha might also beat out Mienshao as my favourite Fighting-type.
That’s about it, I think.
And, finally, I guess I need to pick Fairy-types. Hmm. Least favourite is probably Dedenne again, followed by Snubbull and Granbull, whom you may recall popping up as my least favourite second-generation Pokémon. Favourite Fairy Pokémon… mmm… might be Clefable, because I’m fond of the weird moon-worship thing they have going on, and the question of whether they’re aliens or not is kind of interesting.
