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.

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. The extended schedule is a work in progress and is not available at this time, mainly because you all had so many (non-Pokemon) good ideas.

YESTERDAY: The top 4 were set and did not budge for the entire topic, but we got basically every "classic" bad movie represented at some point on the tally. Not much else to say other than "it is morbing time."

There was a brief point where Troll 2 was close to Cats so that can be the honorary 5th place.

Tiebreaker was really close the entire day, Blue Shell was trailing several times before finally overtaking the Keyblade late last night. Easily the closest tiebreaker we've had.

Miltank
Umbreon
Togepi
Lugia

Only three gym leaders have gen 2 pokemon in Gold and Silver. Two of them are evolutions from Generation 1. Only Whitney has an original pokemon that is not an evolved form of another pokemon from Gen 1, and Whitney's Miltank is super memorable.

Umbreon is the more popular eeveeloution. And it represents the additional evolutions given to forms, which make up a lot of gen 2 pokemon.

Togepi represents the baby pokemon which make up a not insignificant portion of pokemon in this generation.

Lugia and Ho-Oh started the trend of Box art legendaries. But i feel like Lugia is more memorable/important.

Maybe it was Marill at some point I don't think it is anymore. Umbreon is the most popular gen 2 Pokemon.

Edit: I wanted Wobbuffet in here. Pichu is now 5th. Ho Oh, Marill and Suicune next after that.

I don't think this is necessarily undisputable. And he's my personal fave so if anything I'd be more inclined to be biased and say he is.

  • Lugia. Pokemon The Movie 2000. That is all.
  • Togepi. Rep for baby Pokemon, and the anime.
  • Miltank. Surprised many players back in the day.
  • Azumarill. Huge Power, and I think it's been relevant in competitive (and I can't be bothered to double check).
HMs: Suicune, Tyranitar, Steelix, Ho-oh, Heracross.

Azumarill was relevant in competitive yeah exactly because of huge power belly drum, but if that's what you want to bass it on, Tyranitar, Skarmory and Blissey have been the big names.

Ho-Oh
Lugia
Celebi
... Pichu (i don't feel very confident about it, without smash ultimate i'd say he's not there now, but since he is...)

i think suicune is damn close but not close enough (being competitive meta in gen 2/3 is good and being box legendary of crystal is significant too, but not as much as ho-oh and lugia's bigger box legendary statuses (and anime/movie roles) and celebi's movie boost (plus being equally competitive-relevant)), and esp/umb (obv reasons, being the most popular eeveelutions besides maybe sylveon or vaporeon, they even have strong presence in spinoffs) are in contention for sure too.

also raikou and entei are somewhere around top 10 at least (boosted by ova and movie relevance compared to sui) along with ttar (thanks to long standing competitive relevance and also presence in stuff like unite) and wobbuffet (90% thanks to the recognisability from the anime after all this time). marill and togepi might also be around there too but i def don't think they have enough factors to push them any higher than that really

was actually surprising how little DBZ Evolution was there yesterday. but anybody who wants to see an even worse version of what that brings, i'll highly recommend Saint Seiya/Knights of the Zodiac. especially good if you want to troll someone from central or south america!

for this one uh... only 3 feel like locks:

Lugia
Suicine
Togepi

Lugia is box art legendary + Pokemon 2000, which i will die on the hill of having one of the best movie soundtracks ever. but it was also right at the peak of Pokemon and i mean, it's a theater movie that did well.

Suicine is Pokemon Crystal, the best known of the dogs, is an actual dog, and was always competitive.

Togepi is anime and baby forms which were introduced here. it represents an entire new mechanic.

last slot honestly depends on a mix of Smash, media, competitive play, casual play, anime, and general love with the fanbase. ultimately i'll give it to one of the most popular Eeveelutions as it kinda rounds out most of those categories, especially as Eevee has remained popular enough to still have a game of its own.

Ho-Oh
Lugia
Suicune
Unown

Ho-Oh is a box art legendary that got that very early appearance in the anime. Lugia is a box art legendary that got its own movie. Suicune got its own game.

Then it gets harder. Togepi, Pichu, Marill, Wobuffet, and any of the starters all have a case to be made for them as do Celebi, Entei (not Raikou lol) and Tyranitar. However I think Unown is the best choice here due to its unique nature, being the focus of a movie, and having a huge amount of the contemporary marketing focus on it.

Also, while I cannot join you on this road, Dunsparce rules.

I was always a Pokemon Gold kid but Ho-oh always seemed neglected. Although it really made me love that Ho-oh's the one we get those passing glimpses of in the original series' first & last eps - and that's all they are, passing glimpses.
