Lately Mienfoo and Mienshao really grew on me. And for no reason whatsoever, I didn't even use one recently, that's the weird part.

Going further back, in one of my first few nuzlockes I used a Slowbro, and he's been a favorite of mine ever since.

But probably the most drastic change has been with starters. As a kid, for the first 5 generations I always picked the fire starter. They were my favorites. Now, however? Typhlosion is the only one from the first 5 that is still my favorite from their respective regions. Kanto I like Venusaur more now, Hoenn it's Swampert, Sinnoh it's Torterra and Unova it's Serperior. I still like the fire ones (Infernape and Blaziken in particular are really close to Swampert and Torterra for me), but I like others more now.
