• Its cute as heck
  
• Its a rodent that wields the power of Zeus himself! God damn! (My Arceus have mercy on Ditto's soul)
  
• It was my first Pokemon ever.
  

• The last time I played through the game with it. I honestly felt it wasn't too strong and was far too weak to be viable on even a story team.
  
• The overexposure of Pikachu is maddening! I love Pikachu but it is everywhere and that makes me kind of hate it and love games where it doesn't exist in the base game.
  
• It overshadows the super cool Raichu! Like Raichu really could use some love.
  

• This thing was a tanking nightmare if your up against it.
  
• it fights against the terrors of sadness! it will give you its egg to make you smile mothertruckers!
  
• I think it just a cuter version of Chansey
  

• Nowadays to eviolite in the competitive scene it was shunned like Raichu. (Even though Raichus are hilarious!)
  

• This little bastard is cute as hell! Its this little blue bird with feathers made of clouds! Who couldn't think this thing was cute as heck!? its evolution turns it into a cute cloud ostrich.
  
• Swablu likes to rest on top of its trainer's head like a hat! This would of been the perfect Pokemon for the Let's Go Series! When it evolves into an Altaria it will envelop you into it wing and hum you a beautiful song. Honestly I think this would just be a perfect starter Pokemon in general. It has a friendly disposition and in all of it stages it would be a Pokemon you could play with and fight with. 
  
• Did I mention the cloud Ostrich is in fact a dragon type? Yup this little thing was a dragon type! It did mean it had a 4x weakness to ice, but it could really pack a punch and did very well. With the introduction of it mega form we got Mega Altaria that is Dragon & Fairy!
  

• There nothing I particularly dislike about it. Ask someone that into the competitive scene for a full lowdown.
  

• This thing is so delightfully evil! It attempts to drag children to the underworld! This is evil as hell! Now it never succeeds cause of how light it is and won't be effective at it. 
  
• It was one of those cool time of the day event Pokemon and I remember waiting until Friday to go catch it!
  
• It combined two of my favorite types ghost and flying.
  

• I don't remember it having been too bulky until it evolved.
  
• Fighting against these things are evil with it aftermath ability.
  

• The Blue/Green Oak of Pokemon! This is a Pokemon that Serperior to you in everyway and it knows it! If it agrees to battle you you better feel lucky punk!
  

• Its a cool snake starter! Snakes are pretty neat!
  
• It kinda looks like corn and corn is niceeeee
  

• Doesn't have a second typing so makes it kinda boring compared to other grass starters, but on the plus side it only has grass weaknesses.
  
• It doesn't have the greatest of move pools
  

• Protean is an amazing ability and it was awesome for competitive play in my experience.
  
• Its a ninja frog
  
• A cool new typing water and dark.
  

• Ask someone else
  

• The video above!
  
• Disguise ability gives it a free hit so it allows you to set up nicely
  
• Its a ghostly fairy that if you saw it true form would probably curse you!
  
• It made its costume by itself
  
• It isn't all cute from the Pokedex: "Sad that its true identity may be exposed, Mimikyu will mercilessly seek revenge on any opponent that breaks its neck."
  

• None that I can think of maybe overexposure? I don't know I still love it for now.
  

• Generation 1: Gengar or Charizard (tough pick)
  
• Generation 2: Quilava (all-time favorite)
  
• Generation 3: Linoone
  
• Generation 4: The Shinx line of Pokemon
  
• Generation 5: Excadrill or Deino (another toughie)
  
• Generation 6: Chespin
  
• Generation 7: Lycanroc (Midnight forme) or Bewear

Yuri... my dude, how can you say you aren't a big fan of Gen 2, the best generation of Pokemon, and love Gen 6/7, the worst generations of Pokemon!

Fixed that for you. You forgot to add a few numbers. 

• Introduced the online play to the Pokemon series and to me this is a huge one! Online play gave the ability to enjoy the game with friends around the world. It even had a built in voice-chat which was okay for the DS
  
• I really enjoyed all the legendary there wasn't a single legendary that I didn't care for.
  
• The starters were all well designed and the second typing they gave really stirred things up.
  
• In general I just really like gen 4 Pokemon.
  
• The Pal Park had a nice touch where when you transferred Pokemon over the text would read: "Come back <Pokemon name>!" something small, but it made it feel like your Pokemon somehow still recognized as their trainer
  

• Name filter came about during this time. 
  
• The game felt slow compared to other games.
  
• Story was about on par with gen 3 just okay.
  

• The best part of gen 7 is the story and the journey it takes you on. I'm going to repeat myself here, but you cannot approach this game as if your playing RBGY. This is more of an entry into the series title and they went out of their way to make this your journey with Pokemon. It basically the Skyward Sword of Pokemon. 
  
• The characters are interesting and I care about them and they aren't just plain and boring like frickin gen 6....I'm sorry but those three characters that followed you around I have no idea what their names are! I don't think they had character development at all! Gen 7 achieved with characters in a way that was as satisfying as the journey with Cheren and Bianca in gen 5.
  
• Alolan forms are a cool idea, but I wish they would of finished all the mega evolutions before moving onto something else.
  

• Most of the new Pokemon in this generation are just kinda let downs. I like Mimikyu & the Alolan Pokemon, but there wasn't really any new Pokemon that particularly captured my interest beyond them.
  
• Since it the story Pokemon the cutscenes really drag on and prevent this from being a good speed run or nuzlocke game in the series.
  
• The Festival Plaza is a neat idea in theory, but in practice its annoying and prevents me from accessing the WiFi features that I really want too access.

Oh, no wonder nobody was listing their favourite "Ultra"'s, I got the name wrong. I meant Mega Pokémon, unless you did know what I meant, but don't have any.
Also just realised I was meant to say top 4, not top 5, plus the link needs changing. What am I doing?

I'm still in the process of doing my image list. Could be some alterations from my last one, there is at least one thing I'm doing differently.
