Pokemon is a franchise with a long, rich history. From its beginnings nearly thirty years ago, it has evolved and grown with each successive generation of Pokemon games. It's been said that most people's favorite generation is simply whichever one they played first. If true, this would explain the affection many have for Gen III, which represented an evolution in narrative complexity for the series, bringing a number of interesting new elements into the games, and a ton of awesome new Pokemon.

Many of these iconic Pokemon have been made into plushes, and we're here today to direct you toward some of the best ones out there.

One of the most important elements of any Pokemon generation is its starting trio. Of the members of this trio, the grass type Pokemon often gets the least love, despite coming first in the Pokedex. This is unfortunate in just about every generation, but it's especially unjust here.

Fortunately, thܫis high-quality plush exists for the sake of those with the refined taste needed to properly appreciate Treecko, and the coolness of both its design and personality.

Where the grass-type tends not to get enough love, the fire-type starter of a new ♏Pokem൲on generation tends to be the most popular. Funnily enough, Gen III is actually one of the few exceptions to that rule, as we'll cover in a moment. However, this generation's fire starter, Torchick, is still an extremely popular Pokemon, whose evolved forms accomplish the impressive feat of making a chicken into an incredibly intimidating and cool monster, so much so that the next two generations would attempt to imitate it with their own Fire/Fighting type starters.

In a generation so thoroughly defined by the prominence of water, it's fitting that Mudkip is one of the few water-type starters to outshine its fiery rival in popularity. Mudkip is the most commonly selected and generally beloved starter in the third generation, and it's easy to see why. It's a great combination of cute and cool, and its evolved forms have a number of very powerful moves.

In a region where water types are an absolute necessity due to their ability to use several key HMs, this amazing creature allowed many trainers to hold fast to just such a companion from the very beginning of their journey, and it's well-represented by this high-quality plush 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and its adorable pose.

The Hoenn games continued their predecessor's tradition of adding baby forms to the beginning of existing lines. Though the resulting creatures are often of little use in battle, they're usually more than cute enough to make up for it, as is the case here. Azurill is just astonishingly cute, one of the best designs in the entire franchise, and this plush allows you to have one of your very own.

Normal type Pokemon don't get the appreciation they deserve. True, if you look at a type chart, Normal is one of the least impressive types, being super-effective against nothing. However, just about every Normal-type has something to make up for this, and many of them can be solid members of your team if you train them right.

This creature is unassuming, and it's easy to dismiss it as early-game trash. From a competitive standpoint, that's not exactly wrong, but the arc this creature follows as it evolves, where it gets louder and more confident as it gets stronger, is still a ton of fun, its first stage being captured well by this product.

Because of the relative lack of power of the type itself, many normal-type Pokemon have some sort of gimmick to keep them from being underpowered. Mons like Snorlax and Blissy are notable for their exceptional stats, as are the creatures in this monster's evolutionary line. Slackoth evolves into the powerful and aggressive Vigoroth, and, from there, into Slaking, whose powerful stats almost make up for the turns it loses by being lazy.

It's a memorable evolutionary line, one of the few that will leave you genuinely wondering if you should level one of your Pokemon up. This plush represents its original form, before it's faced with that dilemma, but this well-designed creature inherits a lot of glow from its relatives.

Just about every generation of Pokemon has a new monster introduced that is in some way a reference to Pikachu, the series' overall mascot. In generation three, there were two such creatures, a positive-negative pair intended to showcase one of the generation's new mechanics, double battling. Though the two parts of this pair were difficult to acquire simultaneously, as each was exclusive to one of the first two games, they made a great match for each other once assembled, with special mechanical benefits received from being on the field together.

If you 𒆙want a Minun plush to go with your Plustle, from the ꦅsame manufacturer.

It's easy to forget how many types only had a couple of members in the first few generations. The Ghost type was represented initially by just one evolutionary line, and generation 2 didn't add that much more, leaving gen 3 with the task of fleshing this type out. It did that with a couple of Pokemon, including this excellent mix of the cute and the creepy.

One of many ghost-type lines to canonically eat souls (that is not a joke; look at its Pokedex entries) this creature's sinister intentions somehow don't manage to make it any less appealing to look at. Besides, if you catch it, it will devour the souls of your enemies! Though this high-quality plush has not been verified to retain this power, it's still a great, and quite large representation of one of the neater lines in this generation.

FAQ

Who is the strongest Hoenn Pokémon?

The strongest Pokemon in the region, or anywhere else for that matter, is Mega Rayquaza, a legendary Pokemon so powerful that Smogon, the organization that manages competitive Po🐓kemon battling, had to make a new tier above Ubers just fꦛor it. (That is also not a joke. That really happened.)

What region is closest to Hoenn?

Canonically, 🌳Hoenn is quite close to Kanto and Jhoto, representing a regioꦑn of Japan just south of the ones those regions are modeled after. This was back when Pokemon regions were still being based on parts of Japan, rather than more distant areas of the world, as in modern generations.
