Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 3 Pokémon?

I liek mudkipz.

Cradily! Always had an affinity towards grass types and Cradily was and still is my all-time favorite.

Winners so far are:
Gen 1 - Charizard
Gen 2 - Umbreon
Gen 3 - tbd

Huge pain, but I need pictures.

VERY tough contest between Blaziken and Metagross for me, but I finally went with the former (Sorry Steven!). Runners-up in no particular order are Shiftry, Manectric, Aggron, Salamence, Flygon, Sharpedo, Poochyena/Mightyena, and pretty much any legendary that isn't the Regi trio or Jirachi.

I went with Swampert, but there's so many good choices that it feels wrong to pick just one. Blaziken, Metagross, Aggron, Claydol, the 3 cover legendaries, Walrein... Can you tell that I started with Gen 3? 😅

EDIT: How could I forget Flygon!?

Numel. I have a Numel plushie and he kept me company during Covid as I worked from home.

I now have more plushies (and a real life cat), but Numel is the only Pokemon.

Not a huge fan of Gen 3. Maybe Rayquaza?

I was so in love with luvdisc. So much so I had a team of six to defeat the elite four. My next vote would have been for clamperl.

Rayquaza is my goat.

Strongest Legendary, incredible shiny, great lore, peak mega. What can't that green snake do?

Medicham. It’s psychic/fighting attitude is fun to have on your side.

Breloom. I like mushrooms🤣

I picked Grovyle but have to give a shoutout to Ninjask, Sableye and Deoxys.

This poll (especially when compared to the previous two) makes me realize just how much Gen 3 rocks. I voted Torkoal, but I have used so many of these on my (relatively few) doubles teams over the years. Shiftry, Slaking, Hariyama, Solrock, Banette, Dusclops (even though it's now mostly replaced by Dusknoir), and Metagross. Plus there's all-time cool ones like Masquerain, Breloom, Flygon, Ninjask, and Shedinja. Man this generation was great.

Mawile has been one of my favourites of this gen, but there are so many good ones to choose from!

I voted Sharpedo. It's still one of my favorites to this day. Other gen 3 favorites Include, Metagross, Breloom, and Blaziken.

Ah gen 3, the last gen I really played through to completion and enjoyed doing so. Sword/shield and scarlet/violet didn't do much for me

Gardevoir. Still one of the best overall Pokémon.

Such a great generation. My team was:
Blaziken
Breloom
Swellow
Ludicolo
Aggron
Manectric

Absolutely grade-A legends. And this gen also had some grade-A legendaries, too. Latias, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Regirock, Regice... Love them all.
Also lots of love for Medicham, Zigzagoon, Wingull, Gardevoir, Dustox, Plusle and Minun, Sharpedo, Spinda, Trapinch, Seviper, Lunatone, Crawdaunt, etc.
I think this is the third straight generation where the middle evo of the fire starter is my favorite. Expect this trend to continue.

This Gen is my jam. So many good ones that it was hard to just whittle it down to Mawile.

Other faves include: Lotad line, Grove, Aggron, Torkoal, Flygon, Metagross, Absol, Tropius, Zangoose, Manectric, Crawdaunt.

Many of these actually suck to use, but hey I like em

Close call between Flygon and Gardevoir, since those are the only Hoenn Pokémon I've really used in the Pokémon games that I have played, and I like both of their designs. Flygon wins.

Gardevoir. This was the generation when my own personal Pokemon fad unfortunately died out. I only knew Gardevoir in other games, but I always liked its coolness and elegance, which only got better over time. It’s my top main in Pokken!

Probably the last generation I have decent knowledge of, though I did play the games on the DS. I picked Poochyena. Tropius is a close second though.

Mightyena is quite handily my favorite from this gen, there's a few other I like Zangoose and Vigoroth pop to mind but on the whole this gen was considerably weaker than the ones before.

This one's a no contest, Big Axolotl (Swampert) is my absolute favorite from Gen 3.

With that said, there are a lot of Pokémon I love from this generation: Sceptle, Gardevoir, Mawile, Zangooze, Aggron, Flygon, Corphish, Milotic, Glalie (aka Frieza's head).

Nosepass is the only correct answer.

Absol. By far my favorite Pokemon design-wise. Its appearance in the story of PMD Rescue Team left a big impact on me, the Mega made it usable after Bisharp stole its niche (as far as Gens 4-7 go anyways), and it was my Main in Unite I got to Masters with.

Sceptile. This is the first of the polls I haven't had to think about my answer.
When I first played gen 3 I didn't think that much of the treecko line.
It was when I saw grovyle and later Sceptile in the anime that I finally 'got' him.
I thereon forth for gen 3 runs choose treecko and Leaf Blade became my favourite attack. Kinda wish it stayed exclusive to his line though.

Gen III is home to my least favourite species of the entire series. Relatively few are particularly memorable, and others were derivative, boring, and in some cases, just plain ugly. Never cared much for the starters either. They weren't necessarily bad, just... meh, given how awe-inspiring Gen II was.

The legendaries and mythicals are okay, and I especially appreciated the air of mystery around the Regis. The games are great though in spite of my indifference to most of its designs.

But I do love the Clamperl line, and Gorebyss is my favourite Pokémon of Gen III. It's a tragedy that the deep sea concept was criminally underbaked as there were almost no deep sea Pokémon beyond Clamperl and Relicanth! And considering how long we spend surfing/diving in those bloody games, IGN's infamous critique isn't as petty as some make it out to be.

Honourable mentions to Milotic, Shedinja, Masquerain, and Vibrava.

Grovyle. PMD fans, assemble!

Torkoal, Latias and Latios are my favorites from gen 3, can't choose between them. When available, they're always on my team.

I also think Treecko, Mudkip, Mightyena, and Dustox are cool.

Gardevoir, without a doubt.

There's an overwhelming amount of great gen 3 designs. I'm going with Electrike / Manectric because one always ends on my team when I replay Emerald.

Grovyle is also a strong contender. I have war flashbacks of May's Grovyle under the cycling bridge as a kid who exclusively leveled his starter and no one else... Also Explorers of Sky.

Then Gardevoir. Hand to heart I swear to God I like Gardevoir because of Red Rescue Team and no ulterior reasons. That's all! PLEASE BELIEVE ME!!!

No strong feelings this generation but I do like the games.

Rayquaza For me. Not the best gen for design but not all bad either

As a kid i thought Gardevoir was like a cool white witch which made me think it was cool. Also shiny mega shiny Gardevoir is one of the best looking
