I liked the idea that they can hover around you and basically constantly hover over your shoulder as your little buddy.
And they look cool.

For me, it's gotta be the Haunt'. Ghost Pokemon are my favorites in general, and Haunter has such a strong design and abilities. Having a mischievous ghost bro would be tons of fun.

I always thought that Gengar was kind of a downgrade, anyways.

damn, when did you play? I basically had no friends either but it was still relatively easy for me to find someone to trade and trade back the trade evolution pokemon during Pokemania. Granted if you played after pokemania died I'm sure it was more difficult, I coudln't find people to do trade evolution with for Gen2

I think my favorite Gen 1 pokemon is Kabuto. I like how spooky it looks. I kind of hate Kabutops as an evolution because nothing that I like about Kabuto carries over to it.

Zubat is a perfect design. Very cute and cool. I never really liked Golbat though, looks too goofy and cartoonish but at least they fixed it with Crobat.

It might sound lame, but I think most of my favorites for the first two gens are the legendaries/mythicals.

Back then, a Pokémon being one of those really seemed important because there were so few. Mew and Mewtwo were the most powerful Pokémon (in lore), the three birds and Lugia had the power to turn the balance of nature on its head. Around gen 4, there started being too many legendaries and mythicals for it to still feel special. Ironically, the pseudo-legendaries have remained a far more exclusive class.

Additionally, the early legendaries got the best movies. 1-3 are all great and nothing else has reached the height that those did.

Today? It's basically impossible to choose.
But if the question if which one I obssessed over the most as a kid, it was Charmeleon. Not even zard. Meleon. I thought zard was kinda lame.
