It comes up faster than you'd think! I think right around the three mark was when my oldest caught the bug, and once the oldest is into something, the younger siblings aren't far behind. One of his baby brother's first words was "Zigzigzagoon," after all!
My kids tend to like Pokémon that are similar to the animals that they also like, so for my oldest it's Bewear and Stuffel because he is obsessed with bears, and for the next oldest boy he likes Bellybolt (who I had to look up!) because he likes frogs, and Litten because he likes kitties. The youngest is still too fresh to have a favorite, but our third boy likes "Zigzgizagoon" because he heard his oldest brother say it a lot after he got a Pokémon encyclopedia for Christmas.
Part of it is what they're exposed to, we found a DVD at the library with the Sun and Moon series finale on it, and that really got them into Alolan Pokémon. Or when I told the stories of Pokémon Colosseum and XD as bedtime story, all my oldest wanted to pretend to be during our games of tag was "Shadow Ball Lugia!"
