For this week, we're using Reaprar's suggestion from two weeks ago, and tackling every Pokémon game ever made in search of the most loved pokemon critter of all time. Above you can see (if you squint) the original 151 pokémon, and the picture in the gallery below contains every single squiggly pokémon invented to date. Check them out one by one and make Pokédex mental notes before coming to your decision.

So, which single pokémon creature is your favorite, and why? Is it because you loved his or her evolution path the most? Or just because they looked badass? Or maybe you're making your decision purely based on their gameplay? Give it some serious thought, cast your vote and reasons, get some Pokémon trainer friends to share their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.

Bonus Question: Which Pokémon game so far has been your favorite? Why?
