It's honestly a three-way tie for me between Groudon, Giratina and Kyurem (specifically Black Kyurem since it looks cooler), I can't decide which I like the most. Poor Blastoise, Ho-Oh and Solgaleo though, they have no votes as of the time of me posting this.
Aww, I'll vote for poor Blastoise. I was sort of torn between him and Xerneas, but I've always loved the water types and Squirtle is too cute. Squirtle Squad forever!

Lunala is my favorite. I love how elegant it looks. Its shiny form is great as well. I have others I like as well, but find it more interesting to vote for only one. Forces you to choose which one you truly like most.

Good grief.
Lugia, Giratina, Zekrom, and Yveltal have to be my most favorites.
I voted for Eevee and Solgaleo. Eevee is my go-to "basic" answer, I just like the design and the gimmick of evolving into different types was always cool. I wouldn't call any of them one of my favorites, but I really adore them as a bundle. As for Solgaleo, the Sun/Lion motif just speaks to me on a personal level and Pok?mon Sun is the only game I got early morning on release date to get the game alongside the Solgaleo figurine.

If we're just going with the trend of the responses of judging the actual Pok?mon, it would be Blastoise, Ho-Oh, and Lunala as my favorites among them. I would also say standard Kyurem, but that wasn't a box mascot.
As far as the boxart is concerned though, I have a few contenders, those being Blastoise, Charizard, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Suicune, Xerneas, and Lunala.
If I had to narrow it down a bit, probably Ho-Oh, Suicune, and Xerneas. My absolute favorite would be Suicune.
My Thoughts on Each of the Boxarts Listed
Suicune: This one is the most iconic in the series for me. Crystal was my absolute favorite game in the series for years until HeartGold and SoulSilver came along and were just better versions of it (except for their replacing Kris with the inferior Lyra). I still have very fond memories of Crystal, and the fact that the Game Boy Color cartridge for Crystal was also a clear light blue was a nice touch. Suicune looks great on the cover and it stands head and shoulders over all of the others for me.
Ho-Oh: I initially preferred Lugia over Ho-Oh in my youth, but that opinion swapped as I got older and my appreciation for Ho-Oh increased dramatically. The covers for both the original Gold and HeartGold are great, though that older art style gives the original Gold the edge for me.
Lugia: In my youth, I preferred the boxart for Silver because I thought Lugia looked cooler. As I've gotten older, I've soured on Lugia's design because of its weird bulky hand wings. That boxart for the original Silver is still pretty striking though, so despite whatever my feelings are on Lugia now, it deserves the recognition. The SoulSilver boxart pales in comparison though.
Charizard: This is one of the more memorable and iconic boxart covers in the series for me. That classic art style just really looks great on the original Red version.
Xerneas: While X & Y are very easy games with little replay value, that doesn't change the fact that Xerneas just has a really striking design. It really fills out the cover and looks great doing it.
Blastoise: Maybe not the best boxart cover in the series, but Blastoise is one of my favorite Pok?mon and Blue was one of my first experiences with the series, so it holds a place in my heart.
Lunala: Not much to say with this one. I just really like Lunala as a Pok?mon and think it looks nice on the cover.

This happened to me ;-; but it killed my wanting to make another poll all over again, so I left it as is. ;-;
As for mascots, the choices are really hard! I love eevee as a Pok?mon, and let's go isn't what cemented that feeling. and somehow I don't think eevee would make a strong enough mascot to sell, anyway, but who knows? *looks at let's go eevee sales compared to yellow o-o*
Charizard is a really cool looking Pok?mon on that box art, even though I played blue instead.
I like Ho-Oh on the box art, but Ho-oh isn't the real reason I played Pok?mon gold.
I liked Kyogre's design over groudon which is why I got Sapphire instead of ruby.
But!! Pikachu has got to be one of the best mascots if it's sold that many games and is the most remembered when people think of Pok?mon, so I voted Pikachu ultimately.
