Struggling to settle on a favorite pokemon

Discussion

Hey everyone! I've been a fan since the D/P/Pt era and I have always struggled to choose a favorite pokemon. There is always a rotation of 3-5 that I like the best, but I can never settle on one as my favorite. My partner has a favorite pokemon, and honestly I get very jealous of them because it almost feels like an identity for me, since I could never really decide who my pokemon partner is. Whenever anyone asks me who my favorite is, typically my answer is a sentence with a lot of rambling: "well xx is cool, but I also love yy," and so forth. Anyone else have a similar experience to me? What makes your favorite pokemon your favorite over the other 1000?

TLDR; I'm indecisive and jealous that others can just settle on one favorite Pokemon
