My all time favorite Pokemon region remains Hoenn. Ruby and Sapphire were the first Pokemon games I played as a child that really resonated with me, with its diverse ecosystem, the varied land involving tree houses, deep dives, towns within icebergs, sea wreckage to explore, and the Pokemon of this region have cemented themselves as some of the most iconic in my brain. There's so many I'm happy to have already, yet so many more I hope to see down the line and ones that are amongst my favorite of the Hoenn Pokemon! With Jazwares pumping out the smaller 2 inch scaled battle figures more than any other size class, I'm focusing right now on my top 5 most wanted Hoenn 2 inch scale Pokemon from Jazwares!
5. Whismur
Just like the Slaking line, the Exploud line is another Pokemon evolutionary line that stands out to me a lot. We got Loudred early in the line, but I would really love to get the other two evolutions as well. The easiest to go with would be Whismur since it would fit into the 2 inch scale, and the design of this Pokemon looks so good in my opinion. I love how the giant flaps on its head actually cover up its real ears, and the terrified look on its face make me want to shield this Pokemon from harm.

4. Slakoth
I have always been in love with the Slakoth line of evolutions. Slaking and his preevolutions will always have a place in my gamer heart, and that of course starts with Slakoth who is adorable and looks very cool with its loopy arms. I also recall being able to find it in only one location in the game, which made it even more special to my kid experience of Ruby and Sapphire.

3. Shroomish
I like the little legs on this 'Mon. The tiny stubs are super cute in my opinion, especially when taken into consideration that this Pokemon evolves into a Pokemon with leg muscle strong enough to kick you into the stratosphere. Essentially a mushroom, this Pokemon would a simple and round one for Jazwares to produce, and the printing would be perfect to translate this Pokemon's stern expression to plastic form.

2. 1. Nosepass
Hoenn Pokemon have always stood out to me with their unique and wacky designs. Nosepass falls into the more wacky slot but I still love it for its wackiness. It has a giant nose which is a big part of its appeal, and it is basically synonymous with the gym leader Roxanne. It becomes more entertainingly outrageous when it evolves, but even in its base form Nosepass is an interesting, stand out Pokemon from a region that I hope gets even more representation in the future.

1. Lileep and Anorith
I absolutely love this pair, their designs are both wholly unique and unlike anything any other Pokemon had at the time. Lileep was like an ancient plant with a gaping mouth and a wacky color pallet, while Anorith had many feather-like appendages with wide eyes. Both also evolved into powerful, intimidating Pokemon making them both worthwhile for trainers, and I have always had a major soft spot for Fossil Pokemon!
