What's your favorite Canid Pokémon Family?

[Quetsol Melt]

The question is simple, which Canid Pokémon Family is your favorite and why?

Now this has nothing to do with what stats the Pokémon Family has, just basically their appearance and overall design.

Oh before I go, the reason I put the Poochyena Family is because even though they seem to be based on Hyenas, some folks would like to think otherwise, so I added them to avoid any arguments.

Also just so you guys know, you can choose more than one Pokémon Family ^_^

I'm glad Abra was included, a lot of people seem to overlook or forget that they're technically foxes... That one aside,

Snubbull/Granbull - I used to think it's name was "Snuggle" when I saw the 2nd movie way back...

Smeargle - Weird little arty beagle. The "sassy" one in Love and Battles was the only thing I liked about that Pokestar series.

Lillipup - Because it and Herdier looks like my childhood pet dog...Stoutland not so much.

Lillipups are cute! I especially love Stoutland, and I have one named April on my White team.

 

[Metal Heroine]

I choose Riolu. I am so sorry, Zorua.

 

[garrison-san]

Smeargle by a very long stretch. I give him bonus points for quirkiness/character, which the other dogs largely lack by comparison.

 

[Derron116]

my favorites are the Eeveelutions and Eevee, followed by Houndour and Houndoom

I voted on Snubbull and Zorua. Snubbull for being cutie and because it was the funniest recurring Pokémon in the anime to me. I also like its evolution quite a lot and I am really hoping it gets the Fairy-type, since it is classified as the "Fairy Pokémon". Zorua's design is great and so is Zoroark's. Plus, they are Dark-type Pokémon and have a nice, albeit too gimmicky and a bit useless, ability.

It is worth mentioning that Growlithe and Arcanine are my least favorite Pokémon. By far. There is something on their designs that always pisses me off. It doesn't help that everyone and their mothers love these things for unknown reasons. I also dislike Eevee's design, its face just weirds me out, but I do like some eeveelutions, specially the nekomata, Espeon.

Among these Canid Pokémon, my two favorites are Eevee and Smeargle. Abra doesn't look like any canine at all, and Electrike looks more like lion (feline) than dog/fox. Riolu is NOT a canine, but a mustelid (giving that he's based on a raccoon). But, Zigzagoon is a raccoon dog which fits in this category. I wonder why they don't put Zigzagoon into the list? Anyways, Eevee is my most favorite, followed by Smeargle (both are novelty Pokémon).

Riolu is NOT a canine, but a mustelid (giving that he's based on a raccoon).

Firstly, raccoons aren't mustelids, they're procyonids. Secondly, Riolu and Lucario are based on Anubis, an ancient Egyptian god with a jackal head. So I think that classifying him as a canine is perfectly fair.

 

[Miss Mew]

Eevee by a long stretch. Actually scratch that, Herdier is a very close second.

 

[Harryghost]

It was a tough choice between Snubbull, Smeargle and Zorua but I eventually chose Snubbull because it is a Fairy-type after all which happens to be my second favorite type.

 

[Calvinッ]

Electrike and Shinx families.

 

[Juliko]

Lillipup is my fave! I also love Eevee, Riolu, Vulpix, Poochyena, Snubbull, and Zorua.

 

[ocelotlrama jaguar]

The Growlithe-line, Houndour-line, and Lillipup-line.

 

[Tenjiku]

I voted for all, except Abra and Smeargle (they're okay though). But out of the ones I voted for, Growlithe and Lillipup are my most favorites, Growlithe because it's the type of dog Pokemon that will protect you and be your best friend, like in the anime pretty much, and Lillipup because it's a normal type and it's a cute little teacup dog that you'd pamper.

 

[PokeTrainerTipp]

Growlithe, Poochyena, Houndour and Lillipup. I love dogs. I love Pokemon. Combining the two is an instant like for me. Then to add my favorite types (dark/fire)....love at first sight. I enjoy sending out my Growlithe and my Lillipup in double battles. These four are my most loyal Pokemon, with both max affection and happiness.

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

Anyone who knows me knows that Lucario is my all time unshakeable favourite for personal reasons I'm too lazy to elaborate on at the moment. I's also have to say Manectric and Zorua are definitely up there. I mean look at Zorua, it's so CUTE.

 

[Soki]

Zorua, absolutely. Its and Zoroark's design are just so great, there's no winning from them. Eevee is a close second, I love it and all its evolutions.

I guess I just prefer foxes ^^;

 

[Envoy]

Houndour is my second favorite Pokemon of all time (right after Bulbasaur) so she easily takes the top spot here. It's also worth mentioning that Vulpix, Electrike, and Eevee are top 5 material for this poll and in my top 10 all time favorite Pokemon list.

Riolu's line is over-exposed so I don't care about it much at all. And I think Growlithe is highly overrated, and it's annoying because people tend to ignore the sheer badassery that is Vulpix in favor of Growlithe. I do still like it, but a whole lot less than your average fan.

Abra, Snubull, and Smeargle, I never cared for. Lillipup and Zorua are alright I guess, but they don't inspire any strong emotions in me.

This poll needs an update to include Fennekin.

 

[Camille]

Growlithe, because Arcanine's design is simply majestic. That being said, I also like Vulpix (both forms), Eevee, Electrike, Houndour, Poochyena and Riolu families.
By the way, the poll needs an update to include Fennekin and Rockruff.
