Yoshi, I used to like him well into the GCN days. I remember how much I loved the light blue color of Yoshi and really wanted a toy for it. I just remembered how cool he was when he could change color in Mario Power Tennis. I used to want to pick him in Mario Party 4 because, at the time, I just was hesitant to use Mario probably to avoid the pain of seeing him hurt (I think). I did remember enjoying using him in Mario Kart Double Dash, his punching is him licking people. He also had the egg item, which I remember using to get some nice stars when I was in first.
But now I abhor him because he started being a pain in the ass to fight, starting in Mario Power Tennis. Today, I just can't stand him any more. He's annoying as ever, like in Smash Bros. where he just doesn't shut up, with his squealing quality in Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario Odyssey (he's absolutely the worst in Super Mario Galaxy 2), and his design just looks stupid. I still really like the old dinosaur version and prefer to think of that version as a separate character, but I play along when people expect me to deride and mock the older Yoshi...
