2nd Gen The most popular non legendary, non starter, non pseudo, non Eeveelution Pokemon of gen 2?

[strangerhypno]

I'd say Ampharos

 

[Swithdas]

Scizor? Togetic? Slowking? Maybe Crobat aswell? Personally mine is Ursaring.

 

[Sytiourious]

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

 

[Radiating]

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)

 

[BlazingCobaltX]

Ampharos, Sneasel maybe.

I always thought it was the Mareep line, tbh.

 

[littlebeeb]

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

Paloo-paloo!

 

[colours]

I think Houndour and Houndoom are also decently popular?

 

[MaӾiej]

I'd have to say Ampharos as well. Well, either it'd either be Ampharos or Xatu.

 

[J-Pom]

Ampharos and Girafarig.

I wish disappointed when they got removed in Crystal.

 

[Star Arcana]

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.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Ampharos yup.

Other one would be Togepi simply for the fact that it has like an "event" in-game & the anime.

 

[Venonat in Space]

Girafarig and Sneasel got my votes.

 

[icycatelf]

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.

Ursurang line
hitmontop
xatu
houndour line
Politoad
Ampharos

[Unown Seer]

The title is about popularity.

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

 

[Absolitetion]

I'm going with Ampharos as well.
