Giovanni Giovanni holy SHIT Giovanni.
I was obsessed with that guy. The few pictures of his manga version influenced one of my ocs so heavily its not even funny. I remember back in dial up days trudging through angelfire sites for any screenshots I could find of him(Specially of Mewtwo returns, years before they released it here). He was the very first character I RPed as online (Terribly.) I used to piss of my friend Perry because I was a monster at Pokemon Puzzle league and guess who I always picked(YOU’RE WASTING MY TIME/*LOUD PERSIAN MOWL*).
And let me tell you how legitimately upset I was when Ash finally got to viridian gym.
Least favorite? I mean I don’t really have one. I remember being annoyed by Whitney’s Miltank and having to overtrain to beat her, but I love normal types so…eeeh cop out answer I know.
