That's quite alright, my favorites in battle tend to be those who unfortunately... just can't compete with the meta game or however you call it.
Victreebell, Vileplume, Drifblim, Chandelure, Lanturn, Wailord, etc... to name a few.
(After much breeding, have a near perfect Shiny Litwick back in X2. Wasn't a Modest one sadly.)
P.S. Side Question
Was looking at the Event Database collection for Pokemon Ranch, noticed that Haley's Pokemon although having the same TID, had differing SID on each one. I thought SID remained as a static hidden variable?
