So, as always, if this thread belongs elsewhere or has been done before, I sincerely apologize for my accidental tedium. Anyway!

I was just thinking about my very favorite Unova Pokemon of Ash's. You know, one of the ones he has been bringing along throughout the current anime series. I've noticed there has been some sticking character points nonexistent in the most recent generation, where everything went towards Infernape (within reason, not complaining). So, I'll go ahead and pose the question to the users here: which of Ash's Unova Pokemon is your favorite and why?

Please leave Pikachu out of this, because we all love Pikachu all of the time. I need not hear more.

So, for me, it's Snivy. Why Snivy? She's pretty much the boss-lady of the entire team. Besides Pikachu, Snivy fills the role of experienced veteran, to the point where she makes her own judgment calls on just about everything, and is the one keeping everyone out of trouble or calling out the shenanigans of the other Pokemon (I reference, for example, the Greedy Gothita episode and her role or her constant checks against Iris' Emolga). As per Trip's evaluation, which I begrudgingly hold as another reason: Snivy holds a high-level of promise for Ash, independent of any other factors. I can see her never evolving, but kicking butt come League time. Her personality just makes me excited, as she almost takes the role of Paul's Torterra, but with infinitely more sass.

Totally Oshawott - it's just awesome in any possible way XD it's cute and funny and I just love it <3 I also enjoyed its Aqua Jet problems and getting over it (and actually, now that I think about it, it's the only Unova Poké of Ash that ever had problems, had training and overcome its problems...)
I hope it'll eventually fully evolve and be Ash's first fully evolved water starter... though sadly I'm not sure if it'll happen
I also hope that when it'll evolve, it'll still keep its personality
 
Oshawott.

No, my favorite is Tepig. (Surprise, surprise.) The little guy is so soft-spoken and shy, so when he stands up for himself or acts really happy, it stands out for me. Plus, when Ash found him, he was on the verge of starvation. It's really hard for me not to feel bad for him, since Tepig's situation (aside from the 'losing a battle against a deer' part) can and does happen to real-life animals.
 
Oh, oh. This is so easy.

Ash's Snivy and Scraggy. They're not just my favorites; they are literally the only two main cast BW Pokemon I give a shit about.

Snivy's neat because I like Ash having sassy girl Pokemon. She was using Attract before it was cool/relentlessly overused, and because she was Ash's Pokemon it's automatically more funny because it's ironic. But thankfully, unlike a certain other female BW Pokemon, Attract does not comprise 90% of Snivy's personality. She's awesome and she knows it, she's an effective mediator, her backstory's probably the only interesting one of the BW Pokemon because it is a neat reversal to have the Pokemon actually dump the human due to having high standards for a change. Snivy has an appealing attitude and has the skills to pay the bills, so we know she isn't all talk like that other female BW Pokemon with an attitude. I just wish she would evolve and have a better move set.

Scraggy's the best baby-hatched-from-an-egg Pokemon of the whole series, and it's all about his ornery personality. For some reason I just love a little baby Pokemon that likes to greet people with headbutts. Unlike the other baby of the group, Scraggy shows genuine growth and development and it's just inevitable that this thing will be a total badass whenever it evolves. And naturally, I am inclined to love Pokemon that inflict some sort of physical harm to Ash because I'm sick like that. Somehow it just makes Scraggy even more adorable. The bromance with Axew is about the only thing that makes the other baby good for anything. But with or without it, Scraggy is awesome all the same and I hope it gets the development it deserves.
 
Snivy. I haven't really seen much of the anime but from what I have seen Snivy is a great Pokèmon. Pluss she's a female starter, so she's pretty rare.
 
Let's say Oshawott and Scraggy!
I'm a sucker for the water starters and Oshawott's personality is awesome! lately they have slowed down with him appearing but he will get his focus back!
Scraggy is a great Poke from the begging and the focus he is getting makes him even better! I hope he evolves soon and gets even better!

*Sad they ruined Sewaddle(Leavanny's) character it was a pretty strong willed Poke! and after evolving into Swadloon it got pail! As Leavanny it got the spirit back and I hope it get some strong wins again!
 
I'm not fond of Ash's team this gen but Scraggy, Krok, Palpitoad and Snivy are stand outs.
 
Tepig. I think it has a balanced and understated personality, a good eagerness combined with enough little quirks to be interesting. I think Snivy/Oshawott are too much of the same, interesting, but each of them have the same personality all the time, Tepig has more sides to his that help in having different relationships with different Pokemon.

I wish we saw more of Palpitoad. The little glimpses are brilliant, the strength combined with an appropriate amount of derp. But because he hasn't got the focus of the starters and Scraggy, not enough has been done with that yet.
 
Does it need to be Ash's Unova Pokémon? Okay, well, I have a Top 5.

#5 - Roggenrola - Boldore

Roggenrola was cute alright in it's debut. And when it evolved and hugged Ash, I really liked that scene.

#4 - Krokorok.

I really like Krokorok, especially since it's debut. It was kind of pointless that Ash caught it so late, but I don't mind. He has a really cool personallity and I like the fact they gave him sunglasses.

#3 - Palpitoad

I want to hug him, seriously. He looks adorable in the anime and looked really cool in the Don Battle and in his debut episode.

#2 - Scraggy

What's not to like about him? He is funny, has cool attacks, his design is cool and he needs those glasses from Krokorok. He is awesome. Just awesome.

#1 - Tepig (soon to be Pignite)

Asdfasdfasdfasdf he is adorable! I really like Tepig in the games and Ash has one. And I'm really happy it evolves in Pignite. Even he has no personality, he keeps smiling and tries so hard for Ash.
 
Boldore, Palpitoad, Snivy and Kororok.

You may be surprised by the first two but I like to see Pokemon fight personality is the Humans' job. Though I do like the other two because of their personalities(and cause Krookodile is awesome)
 
Snivy for basically every reason listed. I like a competent female Pokemon like Snivy that knows how to handle herself, and the possible backstory of her leaving her own trainer is actually new and very refreshing.
 
Oshawott, no question. He's so cute and funny lol. Snivy is a close second though. I like her personality a lot too.

Go watch the Elesa Gym Battle again. The animators have a lot of fun with Palpitoad in that episode, so full of life!
 
Palpitoad capture episode made me single-handedly like the species that I originally wasn't very fond of.

Krokorok is also fun and cute bipedal croc. :) I like him even though I wasn't around when he was still a Sandile
