Gengar is not notable enough of a pokemon where people are going to go out of their way to dislike it.

Like I said for the heavy hitters (pikachu, charizard, gen 1 starters, lucario, probably mewtwo etc) they are or have been forefront in the minds of pokemon fans. So of course the people that dislike them are going to be more open. And on a percentage metric they would probably be less liked. But I don't hear people talking about how much they like gengar. I do hear people talking about how much they liked charizard or how cute pikachu is etc.

If this was for least disliked pokemon in comparison to likes Gengar would be a good pick, but I'd also argue that Arcanine could be better.

But this is most liked and simple pure mass numbers have to be a factor. So like in reality very few pokemon even have legit shots at winning.
