Every pokemon related forums has to have at least one of these threads!
So I guess I'll do mine:
Mightyena(of course)
Lapras
Flygon
Ampharos
Delphox
And for the last one, Idk, maybe Lanturn, Krookodile, Arcanine, Nidoking or something else.. I can't make up my mind XD
- Mightyena is my favorite.(along with poochyena) Ever since I played Emerald for the first time about 4 years ago. It just saved my butt the whole game, even though I had no expectations. And my swampert was doing really bad most of the time.. So my mightyena pretty much took over my starter's job XD
- Lapras is one of my all time favorite. And it kicked ass back in pokemon Yellow!
- Flygon is really neat, I love its design, and its cry. Even though its not all that great. Especially in Gen3..
- Ampharos is pretty much the only reason I finished pokemon Gold back in the days XD I picked chikorita, which was a bad idea(I still like you chikorita ;_;), but, the pokemon that took over my starter's job that run was totally ampharos! because it just destroyed everything, and took hits like a champ! And thunderpunch looked so cool on the gameboy color ! XD
- I don't know about Delphox. I just like the concept behind it, and I love fennekin too. Plus fire types in general are pretty cool.
And about that last slot, I love lanturn because its typing is awesome, and it looks pretty cool too!
Krookodile just looks badass, and its cry sounds like an electric guitar.
Arcanine is just awesome.
And Nidoking looks cool, and it always was a great poke to have around!

Man, I don't think I could make a team of any of these because there're so many awesome ones that I've overused to the point of pretty much hating having to use them again... <_< Any "dream team" I came up with I'd probably get bored of using in a short time, really. Not to mention that it would be horribly against my OCD that says every type must be represented and interesting dual types are necessary for such, Arceus darnit... so I'll just list a bunch of my favorite Pokes. xD And obviously exclude outright legendaries because the fact that they are not breedable and therefore people in actual competition usually hack them irks me. So I'll just cheat and post a whole bunch of my favorites.  - Ampharos or Galvantula - Feraligatr or Milotic - Sneasel or Zoroark - Nidoking or Flygon - Grovyle or Roserade - Xatu or Froslass Reasons: Ampharos: epic (though not very effective) and also has childhood memories: my friend's younger sister stole my copy of Silver, overwrote my old save file which was almost at the Elite Four, and I somehow got it back with my friend's help. But when I took a look at the file, Flaaffy was the highest level and Totodile was all but abandoned in the box, so I likewise just used Ampharos exclusively and took the playthrough to completion (including beating Red for the first time), so I've had a soft spot for the electric sheep since, and it also helps that it's been fairly common in a few generations since (namely Pokémon Colosseum/XD, B/W2, HG/SS). But of course it's fairly thoroughly worn out its welcome. <_< Galvantula: not only is it incredibly adorbs and fuzzy for a spider, AND a really cool type combination, AND actually niche uses (accurate Thunders and whatnot), but... I'unno what else, but it's definitely one of my favorite Unova Pokes. Feraligatr: much the same reason as Ampharos (fondness and use) though the story is much more boring (it's a starter, after all) and accordingly I'd probably pick something different in practice Milotic: gawjus, classy, legit viable use, and basically like Dragonair 2.0 honestly Zoroark: first competitive Pokémon I bred, also basically a legendary which is awesome, and gimmicky ability (which happens to synergize pretty well with Nidoking) Sneasel: you cannot see this and not think that is the coolerest Pokémon ever, I'm not even sorry to say I fangirl this thing and would use it all the time if it was more available and any good without evolving into Weavile Nidoking: epic (and fairly effective) and the second competitive Pokémon I ever bred (...in Gen V <_<), and just really BA overall Flygon: also kind of worn out its welcome, but really cool and can Fly without being Flying-type is awesome Grovyle: definitely worn out its welcome but C'MON, PMD2 and similar reasons to Sneasel Roserade: more of a recent favorite, but also one of those killer cool ones but also styleXatu: PMD1, sweet design, and another adorbs pre-evolution. even though it kinda sucks in battle Froslass: adorbs, creative type combo, etc. Honorable mentions:
Lugia and Latias and Zapdos (movieeeees childhooood and Pokémon Silver and Sapphire and PMD1 encounters and usage but. all legendaries)
Mawile (what a trooper in that Nuzlocke D: )
Chandelure (cool, useful, but not enough personality really)
Tyranitar (awesomecool but overused from the get-go. also a Nuzlocke MVP with lots of personality)
Typhlosion (less cliché than Charizard but only room for one Johto starter)
Wigglytuff (YOOM-TAH!)
Kangaskhan (takin' names with that OP Mega, but again with the not-enough-personality issue)
Gardevoir/Gallade (couldn't decide, but both are awesome)
Corsola (so QT but it sucks terribly, the only reason it is in this list is because I feel really bad for trying to killitwithfire on a Nuzlocke after it was such a personality in my head. because I did it with a potential comic and characters in mind)
Wobbuffet (because it's my avatar. but seriously it's only here for comedic value because I hate using Wobbuffet and would never want to use one in battle because I prefer to just kill stuff outright)
...in general Nuzlockes tend to be a good source for getting you some new favorite Pokémon that you really wouldn't want to put on a team and suffer through xD |

Yeah, its all good just listing favorites. That's what I did really XD
Worrying about balance isn't really the objective of this thread!
And those are some nice choices! I tend to like Zoroark and Galvantula too!
And breeding in gen 5 must have been pretty painful! Gen6 really improved a lot of nonsense in that department!
And Idk about nuzlockes, I've seen people literally kill off pokes because they didn't like them. ( This game can be so messed up ^^; )
Though, nuzlocke comics might also be good at that! There's that one comic that made me like Dustox, and another one made me like Blaziken and Gumpig! XD
( Some also completely destroyed me with feels XD )
