So during this latest period of being a bit stuck not at home, it oddly has been Pokémon that has been the main saving grace for me. I have two new Pokémon cartridges, I found some nice Let's Plays, and I finally bit the bullet on the wonderful world of emulation because 1. Paying exorbanent amounts for 15-year-old cartidges is bogus, 2. Pokémon having only one save file past Generation 1 is bogus, and 3. Not being able to fully evolve a Pokémon you want to use without trading - ESPECIALLY in Gen 3 - is bogus (If I can ever afford to get a streaming setup started we're going to have some laughs)
It has allowed me to take my oldest on her first Pokémon journey. While she's still a bit to young to really do the driving (or read thr dialogue), the team and major choices are all hers with no restrictions other than team diversity (We're playing FireRed and she enthusiastically chose Squirtle BTW)
With that giant preamble out of the way, it's time to get into these Pokémon lists
I need to make a disclaimer up front: I do not own a Nintendo Switch (and likely will not), and therefore I have not yet played any of the Generation 8 games, so anything involving content from those games are based on conjecture and limited knowledge and are subject to wild change if and when I finally play through them.
For reference:
Generation 1: Red, Blue, and Yellow
Generation 2: Gold, Silver, and Crystal
Generation 3: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed*, and LeafGreen*
Generation 4: Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold*, and SoulSilver*
Generation 5: Black, White, Black2, and White2
Generation 6: X, Y, Omega Ruby*, and Alpha Sapphire*
Generation 7: Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon
Generation 8: Let's Go Pikachu*, Let's Go Eevee*, Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond*, and Shining Pearl*
*Remakes count as the generation they're remaking in terms of story and the generation they're released in in terms of gameplay

Top 12 Favorite Pokémon of Each Type
I need to start by explaining this number.
So originally I started with 6, to be one full team of each type. The I expanded it to 7 for honorable mentions. Then I wanted to do a regular Top 11, but decided to put it up to 12 to make two full teams each.
The problem is apparently I like some Types way more than others, as while some I struggled to keep to only 12, others I struggled to get anywhere near 12 and had to settle for "Ones I wouldn't immediately kick out of my party if forced to usr"
So take some of the later numbers with grains of salt.
Also in order to fit more diverse entries I did not repeat in instances of duel-typing. And I picked the finsl evolutions to represent the entire line.
Finally the Types are listed in the order they are generally listed in Type-Matchup charts and do not reflect the order I like them in (I considered making a Top Favorite Types list, but I couldn't decide whether to judge based on liked aesthetics or amount of Pokémon of that type in my favorites)
