Are your favorite Pokemon also one of the your favorite characters in all of fiction?

Declaring a single character to be my favorite out of all the fiction I've ever watched, read, listened to, or played is probably a difficult task. I prefer to use specific criteria so I don't have to compare and contrast endlessly. I'd be inclined to say it's not a Pokemon in my case.

I don't see anything wrong with having your favorite characters all be Pokemon. Pokemon are characters, even if personalities tend to be ascribed on a per individual basis than to each species. It's not like that set up inherently makes Pokemon less interesting characters or anything like that.
