I'd say probably Ampharos, or a personal favorite of mine, Stantler.

Maybe Togepi? It was one of the first Johto Pokemon to be revealed, and it is pretty cute.

That's really true actually. I still use Togekiss quite a bit (yes, even though its 4th gen)

I always thought it was the Mareep line, tbh.

Totally Ampharos. Everyone and their mother uses it/loves it. (Including me. LOL)

I think Houndour and Houndoom are also decently popular?

I totally second/third/fourth/whatever Togepi/Togetic and Amphy here.
I also think Marill could be a contender, as could Blissey (in competitive battling, anyway)
In terms of personal favs though, Teddiursa, Azumarill, Mareep, Houndoom, and Bellossum rank pretty highly.

Marill to me feels like a Gen. II Pikachu, so I'd imagine it being one of the most popular (at least aesthetically). There's also Pichu (which I personally favor over Pikachu, barring its modern Sugimori artwork).
Strictly from a design perspective, I think Sneasel would be my own favorite with these limitations. The original card was nice, but Dark-Type moves being Special in the GSC days made it pretty much unusable in the video games. Misdreavus, another Gen. II favorite of mine, suffered a similar fate with Ghost-Type moves being Physical.
If you define popular as Pok?mon that you're more-likely to encounter on another player's team, I agree that Ampharos and Togetic would likely be some of the more common ones. Maybe Quagsire as well.

The title is about popularity.
I'd say that Ampharos and Scizor are about even. Houndoom and Heracross are not far behind.
