Looking forward to this! :D Time to figure out for myself once and for all what my top 25 are too. I think I only ever thought up to top 10-15 lol.

Roni February 15th, 2021 11:41 PM

Wait, you guys have favourite Pokémon?

I think I'll have a pretty hard time deciding 25 favourites. I can think only of like 5 Pokémon that could fit there.

Roni February 17th, 2021 11:22 PM

aight i guess getting my 25 wasn't as hard as i initially thought. sent it out already lol.

Sheep February 19th, 2021 10:39 AM

Yeah, 25 was a lot for me @[email protected] I have a lot of mons I like but trying to actually rank them was tough. Managed to decide on a list and sent it in though!

Cherrim March 1st, 2021 12:59 PM

Got a little surprised by what made it into my top 25 when I used the sorter. I also usually never think past top 10 or 15. :O Submitted tho!!

PageEmp March 9th, 2021 1:24 AM

I also just submitted mine and was this close to giving up.

Anyone else who have submitted, since this thread was inactive for a week?

icycatelf March 9th, 2021 7:08 AM

Looking at my previous top 10 favorite Pokémon, top 3 favorite Pokémon of each type, and attempting the favorite Pokémon picker again, I think I was able to average out a list of my top 25. My top 10 have actually shifted slightly, it seems!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 April 22nd, 2021 5:13 PM

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).

Do not let Azumarill's cute and happy appearance deceive you!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 April 27th, 2021 5:05 PM

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

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

Roni

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

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.

Makaan

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!

Roni
Number of votes

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.

Combining both a fish and a dragon transforms into the Fossil Pokemon Dracovish!

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.

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.

Gengar

FeraligatrMaster

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!

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 May 2nd, 2021 12:15 PM

Wartortle! yess!!

Cid May 2nd, 2021 12:32 PM

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

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

Devalue May 2nd, 2021 5:05 PM

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.

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.

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

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 May 4th, 2021 6:37 AM

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.

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

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

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?

Pyrax May 8th, 2021 10:47 PM

🎶🎶 it's the final countdown 🎶🎶

Hydreigon, Krookodile and Tyranitar are in the top 10, love it. It's also been a surprising list so far since a lot of popular Pokemon ended up lower than I thought - Scizor, Gengar, Aegislash, Gardevoir, etc 🤔

This Light Pokemon has not only made lighthouses brighter but has shined into the hearts of many. A super cute Pokemon with an evolution line that feels like natural progression, namely how it slowly loses its wool as it gains more electricity, and it is loved for how every form feels distinct. While slow, it sure packs a punch as well as its Mega form amplifying its power. Loved since gen 2, this Pokemon was also the MVP of one voter's Gold team and therefore remembered.

Choosing the Water-type starter for the Johto region eventually transforms into the Big Jaw Pokemon beloved for its awesome crocodilian design as well as being underrated. This Pokemon can also be useful in battle and in game thanks to a combination of Sheer Force, decent bulk, strength, and ability to learn Dragon Dance. That's one tough gator!

Voters love the Mud Fish Pokemon for nostalgia from Emerald being the early games for some and was also the first starter choice. A solid choice too because it is powerful with its strength, great typing, and its bulk, which has also spammed Mud Shot its way through playthroughs for one. Its great design certainly helps as well!

As a valuable member of many Sinnoh teams, namely Platinum and Flawless Platinum, this Flame Pokemon will be remembered for its strength, speed, and its cool design as it's based off mythology and not looking overly humanoid compared to the older Fire/Fighting type Blaziken. Its appearance in the anime has helped one voter love it as well.

PokeCommunity's overall favourite Pokemon is the Mach Pokemon Garchomp! This Pokemon will be remembered as valuable member of one voter's Platinum team as well as one voter catching a Gible after encountering Cynthia's Garchomp for the first time, which made it as their favourite pseudo-legendary. This Pokemon is well known for its power in battle with its strength, speed, bulk, good typing, and diverse movepool with the bonus a fierce, cool design of combining a shark, airplane, and dragon.




And what's a wrap! This was definitely an ambitious event and I thank you all for dedicating your time to send me in lists to make this event all the possible! I also enjoyed reading all your descriptions as well as see what the community's personal tastes are. Additionally, I thank Dakota for helping me out with the CSS as it was all done beautifully! <3 The next favourite Pokemon event will be smaller so I hope you will look forward to it as well!
Once again, thank you! <3

Misjudged this community's favorites by a longshot. No eeveelutions? Venusaur and Wartortle in the top 50, but not Charizard and Blastoise? Showed a lot of love to starter lines in general too. Consisted of 12/50 places (Sceptile, Venusaur, Incineroar, Tototile, Typhlosion, Rowlet, Wartortle, Primarina, Greninja, Feraligatr, Swampert, and Infernape).

Thanks for running the event.

Seeing Salazzle on the list is quite surprising, when I think of that pokemon in my time playing sun, all I remember is pure frustration..

the difficulty in getting one that can evolve into it, its near useless signature move, or as it the ability?

And then just how often the dang thing died.


I love Golisopod though.


*whistle* that top 5 is nice, and would make an epic team as well.

Is not surprised by Garchomp. Fared well in other polls. Mentioned a Google and Reddit poll earlier. Grabbed information from both.

Notes:
- Google Rank: From the 2020 Google poll. Voted once per generation. (Skews the results when comparing outside of a generation.) Could not confirm overall ranks beyond #194. Only revealed the votes for the top 30 of each generation.
- Reddit Rank: From a 2019 Reddit thread. Voted once. Did not include Generation 8.
- Filled in bits by hand. May contain mistakes.

Ought to learn CSS sometime. Could be much prettier. Used it a little before, but not much. Did not know how to transfer the information from a spreadsheet nicely.
