Infernape to me was just another fire/fighting type, didn't like that it just copied Blaziken in that way.
Torterra is pretty badass to be fair, he's the same species as Groudon (Continent Pokémon), and is basically just the earth walking around.
Empoleon is my favourite, partially because I'm always slightly bias to the water types, but also because he's an Emperor Penguin, and they're awesome.
