Least: Robin
Favorite: My own pokemon! (Garrus, Tali, and Legion from Mass Effect take the cake as well)

Favourite was Midna, an all-round good and interesting character. Least would be...
Tails. Fuck Tails.
Tails. Fuck Tails.
It's hard to top Robin as worst. I'm not sure about favourite, though. There are few that really stand out to me.
Worst: The entire Star Fox team apart from Fox. Slippy, Peppy, Falco and Krystal. They ALWAYS find a way to get themselves into trouble, and I gotta save their sorry asses. I have a little less hate for Falco, because once, on Fortuna in 64, he once actually took out the last guy from Star Wolf, proving he can do something right. Peppy did as well, so there's less hate for him as well.
Best: The party from Chrono Trigger. With one possilble (and optional) exception, not a useless character in the bunch.

Easily Dogmeat for best sidekick, but only in Fallout. K-9 was good in Fallout 2, but he simply wasn't as awesome. In Fallout 3 I just got annoyed by him getting caught on the environment and running off and getting killed so I left him at my house in Megaton. I also think Garrus is awesome. I liked the whole idealism/pragmatism sub-plot going on in Mass Effect, and how you could persuade him to go one of those two ways over the course of the game.
As for worst? I'd say Liara from Mass Effect. I hated her so much that I never talked to her willingly, never took her on any mission, and refused to do her mission in Mass Effect 2 because she can go straight to hell.
"I'm really young! I'm really intelligent! Ooh, I'm so tired, I better lie down!"
Yeah, you do that, you whiny *****. If only there was an option to eject her into space.

Okey dokey, Doctor Jones, hold on to your potatoes!Klarinette said:Does Short Round count? GOD, I hate that kid!!
Roman because "he likes teh big American titties wit ma cousin, Niko!"
I didn't really like Jack, she was just to much of a *****. Then again in her loyalty mission i sympathized with her...

I'm going to have to go with it, just because.
Favorite: Cortana from the Halo series. She knows everything. I was lost without her in Halo 3.....And we're back
Least: He's a good guy, but Dom from Gears. Shut. Uuuup. If I hear you ***** about your wife one more time while I'm chainsawing the shit out of this guy, you're gonna meet old chainy here NEXT!! *pant*
Yeah, again, good guy, little *****.

My least favorite would have to be Navi. Not because of her going "hey, listen!" that's annoying enough to actually be funny. No, what annoys me is that I'm a particularly gifted Zelda player; I rarely ever die in the 3D games. Yet she STILL seems to think it necessary to remind me to climb Death Mountain when I'm already ON THE DAMN DEATH MOUNTAIN TRAIL. I swear, that grates my nerves.
Anyway, my favorite is HL2's Alyx Vance. She's well-characterized, so you like her. She's useful in combat, but doesn't hog your kills. She needs you, but she's not helpless. She's well-written and well-cast, so she feels like a tangible character that you actually care about. She feels like a good friend that I would trust with my back in real life.

lol one time he got stuck in the world geometry and I just kept calling him until I got crushed to death by that stupid sand fish thing...Anachronism said:Anyone who says anything else is wrong. He's the best sidekick in any game I've ever played. Unquestioningly loyal, and stays by your side even when fighting enemies the size of skyscrapers. He follows you into the face of almost certain death, and is prepared to sacrifice himself to save your life and allow you to complete your quest. Besides being genuinely vital to gameplay, there are few characters to whom I've felt more emotionally attached.

Favorite: Cole Train in GoW. Fucking hilarious, and never has a spoil mood. Despite his stereotype.
Worst: Sheva. Fucking. Alamar.
I give her a damned machine gun, and she.. persists with the pistol. Not to mention she dies to just about every damned zombie that gets within one foot of her. Crappy AI, and annoying as fuck. Enough said.
All I can think of at the moment..

Ok, hmm. Favorites, Pikachu (Pokemon), Ando (Heroes), Iwazaru (Killer 7) is pretty cool so far haven't beat the game yet though, Sparx the dragon Fly (pre David Spade voice) (Spyro) and umm... Not sure, Cid is pretty cool and some animals have filled the sidekick role moderately well.
Least Favorite, not sure if it counts but Ashley from RE:4. God damn. Horrible. And the Dog from Duck Hunt of coarse.

Favorite: Cal "The Magic Man" Naughton, Jr.- "Shake and bake..."
Least favorite: Dudley from Diff'rent Strokes- Dude was so stupid he almost got himseolf and Arnold raped by the Maytag Repair Man.
Favorite from a game would be the Entity (the computer voice) in Defense Grid.
