I'm planning on doing an anime-themed giveaway soon and I was wondering, which anime do you guys recommend? Also, which pokemon could represent the characters/story in the anime? So far, I've been recommended Blue Exorcist, Soul Eater, Ouran High School Host Club, One Piece, re:zero, and Btooom.

Edit Reason: Updated with more Pokemon for more characters
)
I think Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon is pretty good. It's about a Medieval/European-style dragon that takes on a human forme to become the maid of an overworked office worker in a comical slice-of-life story. Dragonite would be perfect to represent the maid Tohru (or Tooru)
So a shiny Dragonite nicknamed Tohru with HA in a Dusk Ball with Dragon Dance, Extreme speed, Fly and Earthquake would be sweet
The cute Kanna-chans character in its dragon-form looks alot like Reshiram, so that would be fitting
Shiny Reshiram nicknamed Kanna-chan in a Premier Ball, Modest nature, Draco Meteor, Blue Flare, Solar Beam and a filler move would be really cool
There are more dragons in the anime but their screen time is minimal and how they look is a bit unclear as they are mostly shown in recollections/flash-backs
EDIT:
Fafnir: A shiny Charizard nicknamed Fafnir (I guess it's 10 max characters for nicknames right? Otherwise "Fafnir-dono" would be cooler) in a Luxury ball, Modest/Timid nature with HP-Ice, Flame Charge, Flamethrower and Solar Beam
Elma: A shiny Dragalge in a Dive ball nicknamed Elma with Modest nature, Adaptability, Draco Meteor, Sludge Wave, HP-Fire and Toxic Spikes
Lucoa: Any Rayquaza named Lucoa really
I made quite the research for why the different Pokemon would fit each character, but stating it here would make the post reeeaaally long so
Hope it sounds good
Cheers

Yuu Yuu Hakusho:

Princess Serenity: Cresellia (elegant pastel moon legendary pokemon)
Sailor Moon: Wigglytuff (pink usagi/bunny who evolves with a moonstone and loves music)
Mercury: Lapras (blue color, kind-hearted water and ice type who learns healing moves
Mars: Delphox (magical girl fire-type priestess, has psychic powers, foxes can become beautiful women in Japanese myth, line is possibly even based on Sailor Mars)
Chad: Growlithe. Hairy and loyal and goodhearted.
Jupiter: Raichu or Ampharos (friendly or nature-associated like sheep) or possibly Roselia because of the grass/roses association
Venus: Lopunny (you know why. Also it can have both Cute Charm and Klutz as abilities. What could be more Minako?) or Swablu (can learn sing, and is a dove-like bird (Venus is associated with birds)
Chibimoon: okay, Diancie is literally Chibimoon. She even has a SuperS-,I mean. MEGA- form.
Helios: Mega Absol. Teh purty yuunikronz. It pritty. It horseydog. Sparklezzzzzz and kawaiiiiiii.

Edit Reason: Typo
)
Sailor Pluto: Froslass. She's a Japanese female ghost, and they're usually traditionally associated with unrequited love and/or lingering regrets. She's possibly a reference to Yukina from Yuu Yuu Hakusho, AS IS PLUTO HERSELF. Don't believe me? The series are written by ahusband and wife who sometimes easter egg each other's work, and Setsuna's color scheme is just a darker version of Yukina's; Setsu is another reading of the character for snow, Yuki, so their names are basically a matching pun. (Think Catty and Kitty.) And gotta have that ghost type for her. She's the sailor of the underworld, right..?
Neptune: Gorebyss- a water type that appears lovely, but is really ruthless. Remember that time when Neptune almost destroyed the world because of emotions..? She's a female Diamond. But still popular because she's pretty.
Uranus: Braviary. It's a flying type and associated with America; Uranus's looks are a common anime stereotype of what Americans look like, even though she probably isn't part foreigner. It's also brave, loyal protective and duty-oriented coughunlikeneptunecough
Saturn: Absol. A dark type who's feared and loathed because it performs a necessary but inauspicious function trying to save people
Andy the arcade guy: Also Growlithe. Friendly, loyal and loveable supporting character. Moon has a great supporting cast imho.

Re: Zero yo for sure.
Subaru: Hitmonchan, since Subaru shows he knows martial arts.
Best girl, aka Rem: Shiny Gardevoir because she has blue hair like Gardevoir and Shiny Mega Gardevoir's dress looks almost like Rem's outfit. Add on Hidden Power Ice or even Icy Wind to reference El huma.
Ram: This one's a tough one but I think Shiny Ampharos fits Ram well. Cotton Guard [yes] to reference how protective she is of Rem.
Emilia: idk, uhh Shiny Kantonian Ninetales? I don't like her. But Shiny Kantonian Ninetales does work perfectly because of the color scheme and moveset being largely special. However Shiny Delphox works too.
Wilhelm: Physical Empoleon. When you see Wilhelm's design you'll see why.
Felix: Meowth or Persian [Kantonian] I love the crossdressing Neko so I had to rep him.
Old Man Rom: Conkeldurr, it's a perfect fit.
Puck: Alolan Ninetales because
Puck goes from being cute and tiny to a fearsome demon, that of which I assume is a fox, and Alolan Ninetales because of episode 13
