A lot of classics here. But Gen 3 ultimately has the edge:
-
Sceptile, who might be my favorite Pokemon.
-
Ludicolo, who is Miror B's signature Pokemon and is some Mexican thing.
-
Nuzleaf, who is half of the namesake of the Nuzlocke challenge.
-
Shiftry, who is a great Pokemon for the Battle Arena in Emerald.
-
Breloom is just a pro.
-
Roselia is cute.
-
An evil cactus.
-
Tropius is cool even if he's kinda shit in battle.
So that just leaves the Cradily line that I'm neutral on.
