In case you don’t read IGN, they’ve been doing a ‘Top 100 Pokémon‘ countdown that was decided by site viewers who voted for the better ‘mon when presented with two. The countdown has finally finished and I thought I’d present the top 10 so that we could discuss it on our own:
- Charizard
- Mewtwo
- Blastoise
- Lugia
- Dragonite
- Mew
- Rayquaza
- Zapdos
- Tyranitar
- Zekrom
Generation I had 6 out of 10, Generation II had 2, Generation III had 1, Generation IV had 0, and Generation V had 1. Seems like the voters were mostly older gamers who probably weren’t familiar with the newer pokemon. I don’t feel that Dragonite and Zapdos are particularly cool myself, but you, of course, may disagree :p
<3 pokejungle
UH Dragonite is awesome shut itt
Shut it yourself
I bout tired of your mouth who ever brought you up here should left you down south
I’m happy with it. It’s a nice list :), they are not really my favourite pokemon but hey there are a lot of Kanto/Johto pokemon in it 🙂
Legendaries are overrated D:<
Its 6 Kanto Pokemon, not 7
My favourites:
10: Victreebel
9: Starmie
8: Marowak
7: Haxorus
6: Lanturn
5: Tyranitar
4: Espeon
3: Gengar
2: Mawile
1: Ampharos
Ampharos FTW!
oh wow i never met a fan of Mawile 🙂
Only Legendaries, Starters and Pseudo-Legendaries……..
yeah. 90% of the ppl who voted prolly cant name more than 30 pokes.
these polls suck. you saw tons of comments below it going like “ill vote for gen I because gen I was the first gen erp derp. hail gen I, the only real pokemon”
no wonder what the results are. they also had one about which gen has the coolest pokes? the comments on that one were even worse, with people voting not even based on the pokemon but the games and the region. and of course tons of “1>2>3>4>5, because im a genious”
Hm..I would have liked to see a non legendary list to see how normal Pokemon got ranked. Ah well nothing you can do about it. :p
it just end up with pokes that are
-popular from the anime
-more starters
and still be mostly generation I…
Mewtwo second and not first?! Unbelievable! That makes me mad 😛 Suprised that Blastoise was so high up.
Gen I: Dragonite/Eevee
Gen II: Tyranitar/Houndoom
Gen III: Ludicolo/Blaziken
Gen IV: Lucario/Gallade
Gen V:Zoroark/Krookodile
Just my opinion 😉
Hey hey, wheres my axe-faces dinosaur? >:D (just learned this one)
Im more of a new gamer :/ I dislike old gens…
I would love to see the day where Charizard isn’t first on the list. >.>
wow were the voters 12?
Charizard? really?
Why all the hate for Charizard?? Wtf???
Because it’s overrated. EVERYONE likes Charizard. Besides, it’s not even that cool.
The coolest? Well, there are several, but definitely not Charizard.
I dont really like any of them :/
My list would be sort of like…
1. Octillery
2. Jynx
3. Gothitelle
4. Gardevoir
5. Claydol
6. Kingler
7. Jirachi
8. Cofagrigus
9. Banette
10. Chimecho
I wish we could see how the others all ranked 😮 I bet 649th place was Cascoon or something ;D
List of them all ranked here.. http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=106990
To 10 most hated list here… http://ds.ign.com/articles/116/1165634p1.html
And Tyranitar is awesome. what’s not to like? 😛
Well, I personally love the fact that Charizard is in 1st place… It’s an enourmously popular pokémon, much because, yeah, it is cool. It’s an orange dragon that spits fire despite not being of the dragon-type itself…
And I don’t see why it is a problem that the top 10 pokémon are starters, legendaries and pseudo-legendaries… Face it, those pokémon are usually the coolest mons in the various gens they’re in. Most of my favorite pokémon are legendaries and pseudo-legendaries, so what? Don’t doubt that I know every pokémon name that exist…
But I don’t like the fact that there’s not even 1 gen 4 pokémon and only 1 pokémon from gen 5… I an older fan but I also like the newer pokémon… actually, gen 4 is my favorite gen 4 for now…
*favorite gen for now…
I’m curious to see the Bottom 100, with the lowest scores. Sadly, it’s probably mostly Gen V monsters, but I still think it’d be interesting.
Honestly, this list seems to of been comprised purely of the most well known Pokémon, my top 10 would probably be…
1. Lapras
2. Tyranitar
3. Whiscash
4. Feraligatr
5. Aggron
6. Alakazam
7. Salamence
8. Regigigas
9. Haxorus
10. Reshiram
I just love the grace, beauty and elegance of each of these Pokémon, they’re all brilliant,
lapras should be in top ten so should magmotar
@Avolling Considering that the guys at IGN are all GEEWUNers (Gen 1, term is a Transformers reference) over there, most likely the Bottom 100 will constist mostly (or worse, ENTIRELY) of Gen 5 Pokemon.
NO VENUSAUR? THIS IS MADNESS! Seriously, Charizard is only there be cause it is popular and powerful. Venusaur should be up there for the sake of all of the underappreciated grass types (eg Cherrim, Carnavine). Recount!
I find it funny that most of them are Gen 1 PKMN, but it does make me mad. The only reason for this is because most of the voters only care about “nostalgia”. I see what they’re saying, but, really, just let the whole thing go. We’re in 2011, not 1997.
The reason being is because the new Pokemon look more lively and have more vivid colors. I mean, the Gen 1 PKMN just look…bland. And I never did like it from the start.
Another thing is that I look at the glass half full. Each time the Gens go up, they get better. My FAVORITE Generation, though, is most likely Generation 3 (don’t ask me why cause I don’t know).
So, that’s my two cents.
OH this is a pain,zapdos and charizard mus not be here,though i like charizard,he is too overated,typanitar is also cool but since were in 2011,pls have hydreigon cause its better than him.
Starter families just covered this board -,- bulbasaur, charmander, cydaquil, and i think squirtle… imo the list is kinda bias but whatever gen 3-5 are the best disliked 1 and 2 because they were too easy
and they came out with this list so recently that im shocked that any gen V pokemon made it
GEN I = 44, GEN II = 18, GEN III = 15, GEN IV = 14, GEN V = 9
Well this is the overall gen spread
…did you count each one separately? Wow. Also, what Gen V Pokemon were there? I only saw… Zekrom, Darkrai.
Darkrai isn’t Gen 5 dude.
@Jason Adult fans of Pokemon at their finest, liking Gen 1 more than the other gens, and notice how the number of Pokemon listed from each gen goes down, with Gen 1 having the most on the list and Gen 5 having the least, yeah, definetly a bunch of GEEWUNers at work…..
i luv how snivy looks in the poster and where togekiss or magmotar
off topic but the site looks nice on the mobile version on the iPod touch 🙂
Wait… wheres lucario??
