well, Lucario has always been one of my favorite pokemon, since even before I got into pokemon. I mained Lucario for a while in smash bros for 3ds. as for Braixen, one of the first pokemon games I played was pokemon Y, in which I chose Froakie. BUT, I also got X with Y, and on that playthrough, I chose Fennekin. Fennekins evo line proved to be really good and became one of my favorite pokemon. I really wish that it was in SW&SH.
