Hello friends! This Balloon Pokemon is well-known for its role in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games as the Guildmaster obsessed with apples and making new friends! And what a nice Pokemon for that role too as it's generally cute and happy. While it is still loved by voters, it is often overshadowed by a fair number of Pokemon so who knows what the future holds for Wiggles? Hoping for the best, YOOM-TAH!

Highest ranking

One of Hoenn's pseudo legendaries is the Iron Leg Pokemon, Metagross! This supercomputer is strong in battles with its Steel/Psychic typing, a mega form, and a sizeable movepool. This is also a favourite pseudo legendary of one of the voters as well as one voter preferring it over its counterpart, Salamence.

That is all for today but do look forward to another 5 Pokemon tomorrow!

This beautiful Armor Bird Pokemon flies all the way from the Johto region with its striking design with the pleasant pop of red and is well known for being the face of Steel-types for its cool looking appearance. Also, it is loved for being a distinct looking bird with steel fused with it.

Brendino

So, you have chosen the Grass starter for your Hoenn adventure? A good choice as this Forest Pokemon, which is the favourite final starter for one voter, makes its entrance with a gorgeous design rocking a smug, gecko-y appearance that is capable of firing of Leaf Blades with its strength and speed.

43rd

Haxorus

Highest ranking

Fafrir

Number of votes

What do you get when you mix a dragon with an axe? You get the Axe Jaw Pokemon, Haxorus! This majestic beast is loved because it uses yellow for an epic design as well as its tusks show the fine details of being an axe. This Pokemon has served a voter well for being a part of their BW2 team thanks to Dragon Dance.

Salamence

Highest ranking

FeraligatrMaster

Number of votes

Here is the other one of Hoenn's pseudo legendaries, the Dragon Pokemon Salamence! Dreams of Bagon wanting to fly has shaped it to an awesome designed Pokemon, which is one of the voter's favourite Dragon-type, with great strength in its Hidden Ability Moxie and a diverse movepool including Dragon Dance. Salamence was also loved because it was capable of flooring the Hoenn Pokemon League back in the voter's past.

41st

Tyrantrum

Highest ranking

Pyrax and PinkieDawn

Number of votes

HEAD SMASH!
This Despot Pokemon from the past is a T-rex beloved for its feather and crown elemental details, which gives it a more regal appearance that really shows it's the king.

Also, I have realized I have made a bit of an error with the rankings so they are fixed.

 

[Devalue]

While waiting for results: who do you think will be top three? (Should have asked earlier. Oh well.)

1. Mew. Generation 1 and a cute design.
2. Sylveon. Received the most votes in the eeveelution poll (barely).
3. Corviknight. The longshot. May not even make top ten. Might have put Lucario here, if not for seeing it in 49th. Would have been way off.

Guesses a lot of eeveelutions high up. Might weigh each other down, though. Understands not wanting too many eeveelutions in a top 25 list. Ran neck-and-neck in the poll.

Would not be surprised to see a starter (such as Charizard, Scorbunny, Greninja, and Blastoise) for third place. Almost said Luxray (as another dark horse cat quite possibly not even in the top ten).

Sorry for the delay, meant to post this earlier but I sadly lost all my work writing this post so I'm writing it again:

Do not let Azumarill's cute and happy appearance deceive you! This Aqua Rabbit Pokemon is capable of dealing heavy damage to Dragon-types thanks to its ability Huge Power, Fairy-type, and the move Belly Drum. It is also the favourite shiny of one voter, which turns it into a vivid yellow instead of blue.

FeraligatrMaster and Roni

Number of votes

This Grass-type starter from Kanto is here and is beloved for its bulk and survivability with both a good typing and access to Leech Seed and because of this, the Seed Pokemon is great to use in both Kanto games and ROM hacks. It has reminded of one voter of the Turtwig line too.

This Gleam Eyes Pokemon, hailing from the Sinnoh region, has been a valuable member for many teams in that region. It is also loved for being a Pokemon based of a cat as well as looking and sounding dangerous.

This Heel Pokemon, beloved by kids, is also beloved by voters thanks to its bulk (Intimidate helps here too), strength, and its ability to learn Darkest Lariat! This Pokemon is also the evolved form of Torracat and is best of both worlds as well as being a Dark-type starter that's preferred over Greninja for one voter.

Makaan

This dapper looking Grass Quill Pokemon is loved for being a beautiful ball of grass, has a lovely design, and as the most classiest and cutest starter for one voter.

Providing many taxi services throughout all of Galar is the Raven Pokemon Corviknight! Its majestic appearance screams toughness and fierceness thanks to its smooth lines as well as a simple yet striking colour pallet. It certainly helps that it held its weight in one voter's Sword team thanks to its bulk and strength.

A lot of starter Pokemon this round!

 

[Sheep]

Azumarill, Luxray, and Deoxys! ❤️ Glad they got some votes!

Santa Faf here again to post some more rankings:

RESULTS (30-26)

30th

Salazzle

Highest ranking

Fafrir

Number of votes

3

This Toxic Lizard Pokemon lands into the 30th spot with its simple, cool, and a gorgeous designed lizard. Salazzle is also beloved for a unique Poison/Fire-type and loved at first sight for some voters, even made one voter appreciate Poison-types more! Its exclusive ability Corrosive is also helpful as it is too toxic even for the most resistant of types. Furthermore as Salazzle is Female only, it has angered many who spent quite some time getting a female Salandit.

29th

Zoroark

Highest ranking

ninestarryskies

Number of votes

3

No tricks here! But it is no joke that this Illusion Fox Pokemon is beloved for its appealing, crafty design inspired by Kabuki theater with its make up and long flowing hair which gives it an illusion of its tail. It also stands out as a Dark-type with a novel and excellent gimmick in Illusion, which allows it to pretend to be whatever is in the last spot. It was also the ace of one voter's Ultra Sun team!

28th

Mew

Highest ranking

ninestarryskies

Number of votes

4

It's no surprise to see the New Species Pokemon arrive on this list; it's cute, it's huggable, it's powerful, and it's also mysterious and rare. One voter was fortunate enough to pull a Southern Islands Mew in a pack and was surprised and because of this it's one of their favourite cards!

27th

Whimsicott

Cherrim

This Windveiled Pokemon is loved for its design, a round fluff, sweet smile, and its cuteness.

26th

Gardevoir

Highest ranking

Megan

Number of votes

3

With its graceful appearance, it's easy to see why voters love the Embrace Pokemon. Gardevoir is not only the prettiest design according to one voter but it is also loved by its popularity, appealing design, and was featured on a favourite TCG card for one voter.

We are almost at the halfway mark, make some noise!

 

[Devalue]

Crossed another off the predictions list. Leaves just Sylveon. Notices no eeveelutions yet.

Wonders if any middle evolutions will make it.

Expected more 4-vote Pokemon. Must have some high rankings on the 3-vote Pokemon (or multiple low ones on the 4-votes).

Alright, a few more to go!

RESULTS (25-21)

25th

Volcarona

Highest ranking

FeraligatrMaster

Number of votes

In the depths of Relic Castle hosts the Sun Pokemon, Volcarona! This majestic moth is beloved for its reference to ancient Egypt, befitting for a Pokemon powerful enough to hold on its own in competitive play thanks to its typing, ability to learn Quiver Dance, and its speed and power. It is well love for its design as its sun god concept is well executed.

24th

Heracross

Highest ranking

Roni

Number of votes

3

Hera-Hera-Heracross! There are reasons why this Single Horn Pokemon is so loved; it's cool, it has a nice horn, it's a big bug boss, the derp eyes are endearing, and Bug/Fighting is a rare typing. One voter does wish it had a better shiny though.

23rd

Crobat

Highest ranking

Roni

Number of votes

3

A Pokemon mostly unloved for its high encounter rates transforms into the Bat Pokemon Crobat thanks to the power of friendship. This Pokemon eventually became the favourite Pokemon of one voter because of its awesomeness and it was a constant team member for many.

22nd

Aegislash

Highest ranking

Makaan

Number of votes

4

The original Sword and Shield Pokemon is here and it well loved for being a Steel/Ghost-type, its design reflecting its mechanics in Stance Change, and it always gets usage on ROM hacks when given a chance. Gotta love the Royal Sword Pokemon!

21st

Chandelure

Highest ranking

Roni

Number of votes

6

Spooooooky! There are numerous reasons why the Luring Pokemon is so loved, namely its concept of an edgy chandelier that is able to burn souls that is also gorgeous, which is also loved at fight sight for one voter. Additionally, Ghost/Fire is a great and cool typing backed up by its strength and diverse movepool; it certainly helps it being the best Pokemon in Pokemon Conquest, which one voter is addicted to.

Getting closer to the top 10, who is gonna make it?

mertis

Combining both a fish and a dragon transforms into the Fossil Pokemon Dracovish! This is beloved for its befitting monstrous strength thanks to Strong Jaw plus Fishious Rend, which can deal a hefty chuck to even those resisting it. This fusion also has a surprisingly cute and edgy dark dragon design.

19th

Wartortle

Highest ranking

Icycatelf

Number of votes

3

This Turtle Pokemon is loved for its fantastic aesthetic with its coolness and fierceness and voters have held it as their favourite middle stage starter thanks to its nostalgia, its official artwork being always loved, and there is a story with a voter obtaining a bootleg sticker of it from a gas station. Also, one voter likes turtles.

18th

Scizor

Highest ranking

Pyrax

Number of votes

5

As long as Scyther holds the Metal Coat it can transform into the Pincer Pokemon. It is beloved for being unironically cool, a bug in steel armor, its popularity, its colour combination of red and black, and its competitive viability with Technician and Bullet Punch.

17th

Gengar

Highest ranking

FeraligatrMaster

Number of votes

5

>:D
With an awesome design of being a puffy, menacingly but not as menacing looking ghost, it's easy to see why voters love the Shadow Pokemon. It certainly helps it can be great in competitive play thanks to its rare typing, its speed, its power, and a diverse movepool. Also, it has a fantastic mega, especially its shiny form. Gengar is peak coolness!

16th

Staraptor

Highest ranking

mertis

Number of votes

4

The cornerstone of many DPPt teams is the Predator Pokemon Staraptor! Catching it early game as well as gaining powerful moves later such as Close Combat and Brave Bird certainly helps to cements its spot.

 

[Sheep]

Wartortle! yess!!

 

[Cid]

Seeing Wartortle, Gengar, and Staraptor there is nice :)

I'm looking forward to using Staraptor again in one of the upcoming Sinnoh games.

 

[Devalue]

Considers that a weak showing for Gengar. Took 2nd in a Reddit (Generation 1-7) popularity poll and 10th in an official 2020 poll. Was not the only deviation, of course. (See: Lucario. 9th in the Reddit poll and 2nd in the official one.)

Congratulates Wartortle on the upset. (Also voted for them.) Shows how much of a difference the voting system and community makes.

Big names still absent with fifteen spots remaining: Charizard, Arcanine, Greninja, Mimikyu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Eevee, and Garchomp. Will lay down seven more guesses: Ninetales, Blastoise, Ampharos, Rayquaza, Dragapult, Lugia, and Espeon.

 

[Saиdmaи]

What a fantastic format! Great work and looking forward to the rest. Too bad I wasn't in time to vote along.

I am very glad you are all enjoying this so far and as we are getting to the final stretch soon, let's see who did not make the top 10:

RESULTS (15-11)

15th

Mareep

Highest ranking

Sheep

Adding another sheep to the list is the Wool Pokemon Mareep! It is loved for being fluffy, a part of Ampharos' evolution line, and useful in games as it's a staple for GSC!

14th

Primarina

Highest ranking

PageEmperor

Number of votes

4

The stage is set and the spotlight is on the Soloist Pokemon Primarina! This majestic seal is useful in playthroughs, considered the best Alolan starter, loved as a queen, and is a trans icon. Keep voice training, kids.

13th

Milotic

Highest ranking

Cubism

Number of votes

4

With the power of beauty, Feebas transforms into this Tender Pokemon. This Pokemon has been remembered for being a strong opponent for one voter in their Colosseum playthrough and after research it became a beloved team member for the Hoenn games. One voter lives near the sea and this beautiful looking oarfish gives them a feeling of a sea-paradise.

12th

Scrafty

Highest ranking

Fafrir

Number of votes

5

This spunky lizard chicken boy, aka the Hoodlum Pokemon, is beloved for its unique and neat concept of a street punk lizard with its baggy pants and hood as its dead, shed skin (both are functional too), a crest like the basilisk lizard which it dons as a Mohawk, and its bright colour palette which reflects the rebellious punk aesthetic as well as its territorial nature. Two concepts have been seamlessly combined to turn it into a fun design that's neither too busy nor too simple. It can also hold on its own in battle too with 3 great abilities in Shed Skin, Moxie, and Intimidate, its Dark/Fighting-type, a colourful movepool which can fit many roles, and its bulk; one voter imagines it breakdancing and fighting in the style of capoeira, a Brazilian martial art. Dark, Dragon, and Fighting are also the favourite types of one voter so having a Pokemon that's two of those types as well as being in the Dragon egg group is awesome.

11th

Raichu

Highest ranking

FeraligatrMaster

Number of votes

3

From the shadows of the franchise's mascot emerges its evolved form, the Mouse Pokemon Raichu! This Pokemon is loved for being a squeaky cutie, its coolness, its speed with access to Nasty Plot, and is always a good and beloved member for one voter's teams.

Fun fact, every Pokemon in this section is someone's favourite Pokemon!

 

[PageEmp]

Well, for me it's more of was just at the top of my list. I don't have a fixed favourite, it constantly changes all the time.

And yes I still follow this by the way.

 

[Sheep]

Mareep and Raichu! So glad I contributed to helping these babies win. :D

Greninja

Highest ranking

The most popular Pokemon from a while ago has made its spot in the 10th position; the Ninja Pokemon is beloved for its usefulness in battle thanks to its high speed, power, and diverse movepool. Additionally it has an awesome design with a fun take of a frog that uses its own tongue as a ninja scarf, which is nice to see as a popular design. This Pokemon is playable in Smash, one user likes frog designs, and is the favourite Gen 6 starter for some voters.

9th

Starmie

Highest ranking

Devalue

Number of votes

5

While this Pokemon is known as the Mysterious Pokemon, there are no mysteries to why the voters love it. This Pokemon was the original favourite of one voter; the abstract concept with the sharp lines and gem and a wonderful shade of purple make this Pokemon an interesting design. In battle, it is great for its speed, power, and a diverse movepool, sort of like a Water-type Crobat for one voter.

8th

Hydreigon

Highest ranking

Fafrir

Number of votes

7

This three headed dragon is loved at first sight for one voter and the favourite pseudo legend of another and it's easy to see why. This Brutal Pokemon has a creative approach to the traditional hydra, based off the Odyssey, with its two other hands acting as sock puppets with an excellent execution of another hydra, Yamata no Orochi, with its wings resembling its other heads while rocking an edgy look with its gorgeous colour palette. Its fierce appearance also means it's powerful in battle as well as carry a diverse movepool; was used in one voter's runs of Volt White and Yang White 2. It is definitely worth all the trouble of getting this Pokemon since it evolves at a high level of 64.

7th

Tyranitar

Highest ranking

Pyrax

Number of votes

Towering over foes with its Kaiju aesthetic is the Armor Pokemon. Its dragon-like appearance gives it an edgy look as well as being strong and bulky, great to use in ROM Hacks.

This Intimidation Pokemon is one cool ca- err croc with shades to prove it. It's also a perfect edgelord for one voter with its colour scheme of black and red as well as plow through teams with its natural offense and Moxie, which helped one voter's White playthrough. Also, its snout, befitting of the gharial, looks nice.

Who's gonna make it to the top 5? Who will take the crown?
