Holy Double Updates Batman!
59. Mudkip
Originally Nominated by: xx521xx
First Appeared in:Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire
Gen 3 Ranking: 11/20
Fun Fact: Mudkip is the only Pokemon from Gen 3 to have made an appearance in the GameFAQs character battles, which he has done twice. In both contests he managed to advance beyond the second round.
Like I said, kind of hard to separate unevolved pokemon from their evolutions in these kinds of rankings for me. Let's face it, Mudkip is the Internet Meme Pokemon. If I had to guess, it's probably the most well known Pokemon on the internet that isn't from RBY. It's cute, likeable, and was funny until he was beaten into our heads by 4chan. I also thought it was odd that Brock caught a Mudkip instead of Ash. I haven't really kept up with things but is Brock even considered a Rock trainer anymore? At this point in the series he literally has 2 Rock Type Pokemon and 7 non-rocks(not even counting Vulpix). Not that this is affecting Mudkip's ranking, it's just weird. I do find it funny that Brock has evolved more Water Starting pokemon than Ash has at this point, but I hope that changes and Ash ends up with a Samurott.
