Voting for Pokemon of the Year has started!
 
In tying with the Pokemon Day celebrations, they appear to have been extended further up the month, as a vote has been opened on February 5th, set to close on February 14th, to determine Pokemon of the Year.
It's not known what exactly it'll entail, but who do you think will win?

Sheep February 2nd, 2020 7:49 AM

early congratulations to charizard!

on a more serious note....or, well, the above may be half-serious...I wonder who will win!

Basically this.

...better Charizard than Lucario or Greninja though I suppose.

There are no words to adequately describe how much I dislike popularity contests when the result is practically a foregone conclusion >.>

HeroLinik February 2nd, 2020 8:12 AM

As for what I think, I have a feeling that a Generation I mon is going to win this, or at least the top 10 is going to be inundated with them. Other than that, I do have a list of several other mons that I have a feeling are going to win this, or at least definitely place super high, cutting top 50, or even top 10:

Spoiler:
- Charizard
- Pikachu
- Alakazam
- Gengar
- Eevee and the Eeveelutions
- Dragonite
- Mewtwo
- Togepi
- Tyranitar
- Lugia
- Blaziken
- Mudkip
- Salamence
- Rayquaza
- Garchomp
- Lucario
- Darkrai
- Arceus
- Zoroark
- Greninja
- Rowlet
- Incineroar
- Rockruff
- Mimikyu
- Sobble
- Wooloo

So with it being supposedly a foregone conclusion, there's still definitely all to play for. Bear in mind that the winner of the 2016 popularity poll was Greninja, although Pikachu and Charizard still placed highly.

Wasn't there a massive poll where 52k people voted on their favourite Pokémon? I love this idea but I'm pretty sure it'll be one of the ones that got ranked highly. Charizard, Gengar, Eevee, Lucario,..

I'm voting for my boy Venusaur nonetheless!

There was, four years ago. That one was won by Greninja.

Palamon February 2nd, 2020 10:03 AM

Preemptive congratulations to Charizard, since it's definitely going to win if Wooloo or Yamper don't.

...Let's see how this vote goes.

I think they're referring to the poll held on reddit last year! https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=422413

I think Mewtwo or Charizard will win. It's interesting to see how the voting system is done, it's likely that you'll be able to vote multiple times in a way or another so I don't care about the result.

Cherrim February 2nd, 2020 4:51 PM

I expect to be disappointed-but-not-surprised at the winner. But if there were a grassroots campaign to get some completely unexpected Pokémon to the top of the poll, I would probably support it over my fave just to laugh at the uproar.

Brendino February 2nd, 2020 11:32 PM

They should make the vote some sort of multi-round poll pitting certain Pokemon against each other (maybe by type?) in a tournament-like fashion. Then put all the winners of those polls into one final poll to determine the Pokemon of the Year.

Sounds like a winning formula to me!

There will be a campaign to get Stantler to the top of the poll.

Uecil February 4th, 2020 2:13 PM

Totes could see Charizard winning.

Voting has started. Article updated with the details!

I like how they separated into different regions/generations.

Mewtwolover February 5th, 2020 6:42 AM

The voting has started. I voted for Stantler because it stands for all neglected pokémon. #voteforstantler

Cubeth February 5th, 2020 6:53 AM

Time to vote Skitty, everyone

HeroLinik February 5th, 2020 8:15 AM

Time to watch a Gen I mon end up hitting the top of the poll...

colours February 5th, 2020 8:26 AM

Rynamite February 5th, 2020 2:59 PM

Done that. Today is Mewtwo's birthday so let's vote it as a gift.

Btw, the fact that you need a Google account in order to vote isn't mentioned in the article.

Hyzenthlay February 6th, 2020 6:49 AM

I like this! For today I voted:

Nidorina
Suicune
Flygon
Shinx!!
Archen
Helioptile
Rowlet
Nickit

Ninetales February 6th, 2020 11:23 PM

Honestly, if either Lucario or Charizard win, I will be pleased. I do adore both of them (Lucario more so), even if they aren't my all-time favourites.

Adam Levine February 7th, 2020 6:33 AM

I can already see one of the most popular Pokémon winning the poll, which I think is extremely disappointing. Pikachu, especially, since it is the Year of the Rat and all.

Hyzenthlay February 7th, 2020 7:21 AM

I am just going to vote for Shinx every time!

But I don't expect this year to be different from the others—with popular, "cool" Pokémon winning high above all the rest. And Pikachu, of course. Oh well! I'm just hoping Rowlet is up there, since it's very well liked! <3
