This poll is now closed.
Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just pick the first 4 you say when I do the tally. If you list the same character multiple times I'm going to count it as 1 vote. Be nice to others and their potentially bad opinions. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Don't take this topic series too seriously. If you're going to change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Pokemon-specific rules: Only Pokemon numbered 1-151 on the National Pokedex will count for this Rushmore. No regional variants or mega evolutions.

This is the first in a 9-part series of Pokemon Rushmores by generation. Once we have all 9 Rushmores we will do some other Pokemon-themed Rushmores. I'm going to spread these out over the year to stop the series from getting stale.

2/15: Video Game Weapons
If you don't see what you nominated on here it's because it is on my extended schedule, I am taking all nominations down

YESTERDAY: This was truly a horror to tally as I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There was a very exciting battle for not only 4th, but 3rd, down to the last few votes.

Special shoutout to @LightningStrikes who gave an early, impassioned argument for Dracula, which got several people to switch their votes to Dracula to secure it a spot on the Rushmore. Without that support Dracula would have missed.

If you had any doubt that people actually read through the topic before casting their votes, wonder no longer! I encourage you to explain why you are voting the way you are because it may have some serious influence in the end

Even second place was never truly set as The Shining only managed to creep into the top 4 at the last minute after doing fairly well the whole topic. The Exorcist was the only real lock from the beginning

Most what the fuck answer: Sorry to Bother You, which is a great movie, but I think I would have named 100 other horror movies before thinking of Sorry to Bother You

Pikachu

And then someone that's just happy to be there. I can see it being Eevee or Jigglypuff. Eevee got its own game but Jigglypuff is in Smash and appeared frequently in the anime. I think I'll go with

Jigglypuff

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Thanks for the shout out! Super glad to see my boy Dracula make it! I would like to suggest Zombie movies and Slasher movies as those are two sub-genres that can easily support it. Also Action Movies if thats not already on there.

With todays it is more self-explanatory:

Pikachu
Charizard
Blastoise
Bulbasaur

Interesting that with Bulbasaur its the first of the line and with the others its the last. Though Squirtle/Blastoise could have gone either way. Eevee is number five for me.

Pikachu
Charizard
Mewtwo
Bulbasaur

Jigglypuff, Eevee, Squirtle and Blastoise are acceptable answers for the fourth spot, but I think Bulbasaur takes the edge. Jigglypuff loses by having no in game relevance despite Smash and anime, similar reason Meowth doesn't get to be there.

wow Psycho is the biggest snub so far

Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Squirtle
Nidoking

This is partly motivated by meta games & Smash - Puff has been my main in Melee & Ultimate for a long time, but is also one of the more entertaining Pokmon in the TV series; Squirtle is the best starter for speedrunning Red/Blue, and Nidoking can help you progress even faster with his insanely robust learnset (you can get him pretty quickly w/a moonstone). And of course Pikachu is like the Pokmon mascot, on top of being a good Smash character.

any list that doesn't include Pikachu shouldn't be counted tbh
Charizard is one of the faces of the original games, THE face of the card game, and one of the most popular Pokemon in general
Mewtwo had a movie and is in Smash
Jigglypuff was one of the most popular Pokemon of Gen 1, is in Smash, appeared often in the anime, and has a ton of merch

Fifth is Charizard, then the rest of the starters and Gengar.

My sister, who hardly knows anything about Pokemon, namedropped Jigglypuff out of nowhere the other day and I was surprised! Jiggs has some staying power.

I was tempted to go with this, but I couldn't take Venusaur over Mewtwo in good conscience. But Bulbasaur has enough going for him (the anime, Pokemon #001, Ivysaur is Smash is really just a proxy for Bulbasaur, etc.) to justify a slot. So I'll go with:

Pikachu
Charizard
Squirtle
Bulbasaur

  • Pikachu. The mascot, the icon, spawner of a dozen clones and imitators.
  • Eevee. Progenitor of branched evolution, popular, cute.
  • Ditto. Sure, in the original gen it's just a gimmick. And in the later gens it's just a gimmick... but a very different gimmick. Easy mode for breeding for people who don't want to research.
  • Magikarp. Patron saint of evolution. Gets their own songs, games and minigames. It never misses appearances.
Honourable Mentions: The obligatory Charizard and Mewtwo mentions, Psyduck.

Squirtle, Meowth, or Jigglypuff over Eevee are acceptable, I think, but following Let's Go Eevee and the everlasting popularity of its line, it feels correct. The first three should be completely obvious.
