What’s everyones favorite pokemon & why?

I love hearing everyone’s favorite pokemon and their reasons ☺️. I’d say Mew and Shaymin are up there but charmander has to be my favorite (not charizard). I get it’s basic but when I was a kid, I watched the anime and little me was so heartbroken and broke down when I saw charmander be abandoned in the rain by his trainer that I made a promise to myself that he’d be my favorite so that someone would always love him🥹
