It's time to buckle down and reveal my top 20 favorite Pokémon of all time. A simple and to the point video. Let's do this.
Intro, thumbnail and background by Joshua C. Griffin (BrokenVHS)

[@ferrugemj18]

imagine if Parasect wasn`t even in this list, it was just an executive choice because it fit the branding.

[@Paraspectre]

Now that would be funny. Or even better, Paras makes the list instead

[@LINKRETROGAMING]

I am organizing tournaments of Stadium in my channel and Paras is soooo good! Parasect he finished 5th in the 2010 world campionship!

Your love for sand makes you Anakin skywalkers worst enemy

[@Paraspectre]

I love sand. I don’t find it coarse or irritating. And it doesn’t get everywhere.

[@sombat2788]

I believe Claydol's name was also based on the "Dreidel".

"You know what, I think it's about time I go for the standard Pokemon video. No cleverness about it, just a regular old personal-" Pokemon smash or pass video?

[@pokemontas8025]

Cute list. Sandshrew is adorable

[@chipsdonut1]

This is the first time I have seen Omastar on someones favorite list and that makes me happy as he is my number 1 favorite mon of all time. I also like how diverse your list is aswell instead of the usual Pikachu Charizard Mewtwo etc

[@Paraspectre]

Omastar is SO underrated. I love it

[@Amelia4111]

As well is 2 words, not one word!

[@jamesfowler6785]

Great to see Prog Rock and Pokémon in the same video, my ultimate fantasy has come true. Never though of blastoise and tarkus being similar but I will from now on. Trying to think of other prog rock Pokémon - definitely delphox / the fox in the red dress on supper's ready. Exploud /In the court of the crimson king? Maybe that's a stretch...

[@Paraspectre]

Wow this really got me thinking… I kinda wanna draw Exploud for the Crimson King cover now..

[@TheStrudelkittyshow]

I was listening to this video, and when you got to Blastoise and I heard the background music I was like “Oh shit is that Tarkus?” and then you go on to talk about Tarkus. Despite being a huge fan of a couple prog bands I never got super into ELP but that song definitely rules

[@Paraspectre]

Heck yeah, top 3 ELP song for me. The rest of the album is so weird in relation to the title track

[@IzzyItachi]

How am I just now finding this channel? You’re content is so great. Takes me back to my childhood. I’m binge watching all your retrospectives. It’s a very comforting walk down memory lane.

[@Paraspectre]

Thank you kindly! I have plenty more videos to come

[@LTDextel]

My fav cry is actually Togekiss. Specifically in the ds games. That serine noise is so soothing. I was so excited when I finally got my first one in HeartGold and it was my first time hearing it's cry back in 2010. Also, I just saw that my name is listed in the Patreon thing! Yeah! Keep up the good work shroomies!

[@Paraspectre]

I’m not sure if I know Togekiss’ cry offhand. I’ve never used one on a team. And heyy thanks for being a patron!

[@hatsuno8491]

After watching a couple of your Paraspective videos I felt a bit nostalgic and decided to do a Fire Red run. Guess what! On my way to Cerulean City out of nowhere a shiny Paras appears. So I caught him and named him Spectre, as a tribute to your channels name. You make some awesome content, keep the good job going

[@Paraspectre]

Wow! What a treat. I hope that Paras lasts many years for you

Nice to see someone else with an appreciation for Chandelure. One of my top 5 favorites. It's shiny is also amazing, another top 5 of mine.

[@barrington5438]

Sandshrew is really cool. the design was executed so well. idk why it doesn't get more attention in the games

[@benjaminsurrette3034]

the validation i just felt finding out that ur first pokémon was also bulbasaur in gen 1.. like so many of ur opinions on pokémon i agree with and now i know why. bulbasupremacy

[@therecognitionscene3771]

This was a cool video! You and I share only Bulbasaur in the Top 20 (maybe also Umbreon for its shiny form, but Sylveon is my favorite Eeveelution) but I liked hearing your perspective and some of your personal connections to these guys. I know ppl don’t love the Gen 8 designs too much but Sobble easily in my top 10, maybe even top 5. I also really like Mimikyu from Gen 7. Even without nostalgia I think there are just occasional designs that are really really cool in every gen. And I’m super fascinated by how many of your favorites are from gens 3 and 4, which you said you have no nostalgia for. I similarly have found X&Y to be largely forgettable for me in terms of games, definitely no fond memories, but I love the fairy type Pokémon it introduced a lot.

[@Paraspectre]

Mimikyu is actually pretty close for me. It just missed my honorable mentions. But yeah, isn’t that weird that the two gens that I have no nostalgia for still ended up having some designs that I love? Yet the list was still pretty Gen 1 heavy, which is largely nostalgia based.

[@hekonaleeinos5510]

Gotta love Beedril and his surprisingly gen 1 mid-game destroying Twineedle. I've made solo playtroughs with it up to gen 3.

[@Paraspectre]

[@HiddenForbidden2]

So are you saying that a Regional Ground/Ghost Type Parasect would be your all time #1 Favorite Pokémon? Ghost Type to represent its creepiness after being taken over by a separate entity (possessed by a Mushroom Ghost?) and Ground Type as it is often found in dark caves, and could work as it burying itself in the ground to gather nutrients or draw prey in thinking it’s an edible mushroom.

[@Paraspectre]

The design would have to match the awesomeness, but yes. We are due for a regional Parasect

[@peachibread1983]

You're right about some pokemon becoming your favorite over time. Like Chandelure was always a write off for me as just a pokemon that exists, but it's always been reliable and after recently getting one in pokemon go it has quickly become my top 5

[@Paraspectre]

Chandelure is fantastic. At first it’s like… “they made a ghost chandelier? Pokémon is getting lazy.” But I mean, just look at it ☺️

[@peachibread1983]

[@Paraspectre]

I love the entire line really. But Chandelure just works the best for me

[@RednekGamurz]

Great list. Outside of Sandshrew/Sandslash, I don't think any of these would hit my personal top 20, but they're still all Pokemon I really like. It was good to see Golurk be a honorable mention at least, since it would definitely be in my top 20. Such a cool design, and it's even cooler that in some material, it can turn itself into a cannon and a rocket. I used one on my last XY playthrough, and that thing was a force of nature. It was also cool to see it make a brief cameo in Detective Pikachu. It's design in the movie is one of the better translations from the games and anime to live-action.

It's fitting that Ghost is your second favorite type, since I think if Parasect had been introduced in Gen 3 or later, it would've been part ghost type. But I'm glad it's a Gen 1 Original. Back in Gen 1 I also really liked the crwativity behind it and it wasn't my favorite, but in my Top 10. Since then I kind of forgot about it, but your channel has given me new appreciation of the shroom.

Sandslash being a bit of a downgrade compared to Sandshrew visually is true for me as well. I started with Red and then Silver (where it's not exclusive but also not in the wild iirc) so I have no real nostalgia for Sandshrew, but I always loved its sprites. The RB sprite in particular is still one of my all time favorites and Gen3's Ruby&Sapphire Sandshrew sprite is THE cutest I can think of. But the reason I rarely ever use it even today, is Sandslash, which I just don't like as much. It's been growing on me more recently thanks to a few Pokemon hacks I played, but I still don't like evolving it. I actually had a shiny Sandslash in Sapphire though - I liked that one a lot. Seeing Chandelure on a favorites list makes me happy. It's one of my favorite ghost types as well (I love its characterization in Pokken Tournament, where it's just an annoying happy gremlin) and possibly the reason I don't mind objectmons at all. If the design is executed well, the concept being an object or an animal really makes no difference to me.

[@EJsGameplay]

This list actually makes me want to try a challenge based on your Gen 1 favorites. First I thought about R/B/Y. Red seems like the worst choice since you can't get Sandshrew. Blue could work, but has no Primeape. Yellow would let you get both Blastoise and Bulbasaur, but doesn't have Beedrill. Then I realized I was going about this all wrong. If I wanted to use Sandslash, Parasect, Blastoise, Bulbasaur, Primeape, Omastar, Beedrill, and even Articuno all at once, especially in honor of your channel, it would have to be in a Fighting/Grass/Water deck in the TCG game. I begin soon. I even get to bully Matthew for Parasect, Articuno, Omastar, and Primeape!

[@Paraspectre]

I LOVE this idea. Why didn’t I think of a deck using my own favorites? You’ll have to let me know how it goes. And say hi to Matthew for me as he’s writhing on the ground trying to figure out how he’s going to come back from such a financial loss.

[@EJsGameplay]

@@Paraspectre By all means, please consider trying this run too. I started with Squirtle and friends to pick up the Blastoise line right away, and after I'm done with Matthew I'm going inside the club trainer room to bully Ryan,the guy who only uses 3 prizes and drops Evolution packs which contains the rest of the team. Also I think Matthew has gone through some kind of karate kid training, cause with just the starter stuff, he's actually pretty tough at first! My first game I only had Abra to start with and he leads with a Snorlax!

[@Xahnel]

Have you ever looked into how many pokemon are the "mouse" pokemon, or the "something mouse" pokemon? Way too damn many! Just goes to show you someone at the localization department refused to not use the machine translator. I swear Japanese has a word for mouse that also means rodent that changes definition based purely on context, but the localizers refuse to consider that context, and name everything from a rabbit-squirrel to a mole-shrew to a beaver to an echidna "mouse" because Nintendo used the kanji what means "mouse, but also everything we might consider to be some sort of rodent-like animal". There are like, 20+ things called 'the mouse pokemon' and not a goddamn one of thems is a meece. Also, I'd still love to see that Batman and Robin run with lots of different Trainer cards to represent the utility belts. Been thinking about it, and I think Farfetch'd fits the idea of Robin pretty well. Robin wields a bo staff, Farfetch'd have stick go bonk.

[@Paraspectre]

[@gaspardsavoureux8680]

Sirfetch'd is the only reason I picked Sword because I didn't care about either legendary

[@Paraspectre]

Right? I didn’t know about it when I picked Sword so that was a nice find

[@DaermaeonBranKor]

“Minus the whole possession thing and trying to put viewers to sleep.” Well to be honest, I do listen to your videos to fall asleep. And who can say if you’re possessed or not? I think you may be more like Parasect than you realize!

[@Paraspectre]

Haha I’ve heard that my voice is soothing to some people. I never knew this until I made some videos

[@faerylnhiikira1053]

Huh. I find myself agreeing with a majority of your list here. Don't know that I'd put them all in the same spots, but many of my favorites appeared on this list. :D

[@Paraspectre]

Hm. Interesting.

[@Amelia4111]

There should be only one N in Corviknight! And there should be only one E in Sirfetch'd!

[@karinaquinn-rosewilliams7035]

I'm surprised golurk and golette didn't make it two of your favorite types

[@Paraspectre]

They came so close. Maybe they’ll make a Ghost/Ground Parasect variant someday

[@karinaquinn-rosewilliams7035]

@@Paraspectre paldean Parasect; ground/ghost (as it should've been from the start)

[@Amelia4111]

GOLETT DOES NOT END WITH AN E!

[@IsaiahTorres-rq9rw]

I shouldn't guess that you were going off liking some pig Pokémon before being accidental. Cause, I tend to like Pokémon that are felines, bats, plants, dragons, horses, foxes, magical, and gothic types which are realistically what stuff I enjoyed in my entire life, even being born on the year of the dragon (2000). Outside of that, my overall favorites are Raichu, Sylveon, and Suicune for the mention of felines.

[@4fives992]

Even if it is a rite of passage for every single Poketuber I love seeing these kinds of lists because they say a lot of about a person. It would take me an embarrasingly long time to be able to cull my favorite pokemon down into a top 20. My favorite Pokemon of all time is Dewgong.

[@Paraspectre]

Dewgong, nice. Not one you hear often. And yeah, people could have some of the same on their lists but the reasonings will probably be different. It’s interesting to hear these perspectives
