I saw Squeedge's journal doing this, and I thought it was a really good idea! I'm also always spacing on my favorites when people directly ask me, so this will be good to have on hand. Plus it should help with inspiration when I want to draw Pokemon related things.
I included 5 favorites per type. They also aren't in any specific order, I just tried to arrange them so the sprites didn't look too wonky.
Also, HOLY SHIT this took forever and a day. D: I underestimated how much time it would take before starting ffff.
