3. Mimikyu
4. Charizard
5. Umbreon

I love that Pikachu didn't even make the Top 10, but Mimimyu was in the Top 5 lol.

(For reference, Pikachu came in at #19. TPC must be livid right now lol.)

The results are mostly unsurprising. The only real surprises are Mimikyu being so high and Mewtwo not being listed.

The only thing I'm truly disappointed in is seeing Garchomp still be so popular, and a hentai Pokemon getting into the top 10.

Here's hoping this is a good wakeup call to The Pokemon Company and shows them they don't need to shove Gen 1 down our throat on every occasion. Only five of the Top 30 are Gen 1

That's a pretty solid list tbh. There are some first, second and third gen Pokemon, there are some new Pokemon and there seems like a decent enough spread from the rest of the gens as well. It seems like a pretty well balanced list, not dominated by like genwunners, and the picks seem pretty fair.

It was worldwide I believe.

Also yeah I thought Snom sneaking in at #30 was random. He's derpy and cute though, and brand new, so maybe that's all it takes.

Hell, Dragapult is brand new too and he just missed the Top 10.

Greninja was popular before Smash. No surprise at all that it won so handily. In fact, none of the top 10 is really surprising. Wouldn't call it random at all.

Remember the anime plays a huge part in it. Greninja and Lucario were both pushed heavily in the anime. Well a movie in Lucario's case. That's what got them into Smash as well, which made them even more popular.

Ehhh, Sylveon was never popular. And Garchomp was only popular since it was so viable in Gen 4vs metagame.

And Rayquaza is awesome, but I never would've pegged him for the title of 'most popular legendary'. Good for him though!

Mimikyu was popular years ago when first introduced cuz it's a funny concept, but I wouldn't have guessed it would stay SO popular, to the point it's the third most popular Pokemon in the world now.

Sylveon was definitely popular. As for Garchomp, I think that's just a testament to how much of an impact he had back in Gen 4. Plus being the signature Pokemon of one of the most popular human characters might help it a bit.

Mimikyu has everything going for it though. Cute, has a neat gimmick, and it is also actually quite good. Plus Sun and Moon were not that long ago.

Recent Pokemon Gens blows, so of course I wouldn't agree with this list. Gen 1-3 were the best, Gen 4 is playable, and Gen 5-onward is going to hell. But that's just my personal two cents.

I mean when your opinion lines up with a commonly criticized one (I.e. genwunners), you kinda have to expect to be called out on it.

I guess so. But why bash them in if it doesn't affect your opinion?

2 Kanto 1 Johto , 2 Hoenn, 2 Shinnoh, 0 Unova, 2 Kalos,1 Alola, 0 Galar

Actually what I find really interesting is the full breakdown of the Top 30 by region.

Kanto: 5
Johto: 3
Hoenn: 5
Sinnoh: 3
Unova: 3
Kalos: 3
Alola: 4
Galar: 4

Interesting tidbits:

  • Despite everyone loving Gold/Silver so much, it was tied with X/Y, Diamond/Pearl, and Black/White for least representation in the Top 30, with all only having 3 Pokemon in it. (I guess it shows that Pokemon designs aren't always what makes the game good)
  • Sword/Shield despite being heavily criticized for feeling rushed/incomplete, and having a lot of controversy, still ended up having a decent amount of favorites, with 4.
  • Kanto no longer stands alone at the top! Hoenn ties for first with it! Maybe Gen 1 nostalgia is finally waning?
  • Black/White gets a lot of hate for its Pokemon species, but ended up with just as many reps as the aforementioned GS, XY, and DP.
