Shoutouts to Simipour. I was one of those people that hated the Elemental Monkeys (despite never having played Gen 5 at the time), but I really grew to apreciate it after using it in my first playthrough of BW, with it now being one of my all time favorites after a couple years of growing fondness.

I overall tend to like designs that I can imagine moving around the world and during battle or that have interesting lore, but I also have personal history with a lot of them.
