15. Venusaur

14. Blastoise

13. Palkia

12. Ho-oh

11. Dialga

10. Lugia

9. Kyogre

8. Zekrom

7. Charizard

6. Groudon

5. Suicune

4. Giratina

3. Reshiram

2. Pikachu

1. Rayquaza

How is it possible for Pikachu to lose any sort of Pokémon popularity-contest?

Edit: Additionally will the Pokémon that reached No. 1 be given away for free to owners of Black & White, could that have influenced the result? Do people want to play with Rayquaza that much?

Edit 2: The Rayquaza that will be given away to everyone will be Lv. 100 and know "V-create". Is that good? Bad? Broken?

The Pokemon Yellow boxart was really cool.

balladofwindfishes · Jan 20, 2012

Rayquaza's face on the Emerald box is kind of funny and smiling, never noticed that before

Anth0ny · Jan 20, 2012

charizard didn't win.

CHARIZARD DIDN'T WIN?!?

electroplankton · Jan 20, 2012

Reshiram 3rd?

Venusaur

Stumpokapow · Jan 20, 2012

Pokemon has pretty bad box arts. The Soul Silver / Heart Gold look less bad because of how vibrant the colours look. I think most Pokemon designs are pretty lame

120 HP doesn't cut it anymore.

5amshift · Jan 20, 2012

Rayquaza and Lugia for life.

Divvy · Jan 20, 2012

Terrible, terrible taste.

Reshiram over Zekrom?

whatthefuckisthisshitpicard.jpg

Jackano · Jan 20, 2012

Rayquaza wins only because of the GBA-GCN connectivity logo for sure!

Hot Coldman · Jan 20, 2012

How does Blastoise not win...

Entropia · Jan 20, 2012

I think Charizard is the best, but I'm shocked Pikachu didn't win.

ThatObviousUser · Jan 20, 2012

Wow the Yellow American boxart was so much better.

Blue lightning man... blue lightning. Also, Pikach got Kirby'd.

i agree with this one. aweosme boxart.

Rapstah · Jan 20, 2012

I am surprised that Crystal placed that high. I could tell that was bad box art back in 2001 and I was like eleven.

Gravijah · Jan 20, 2012

huh, good taste japans.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH~

edit: also, is it best pokemon that happen to be on boxarts, or best boxart?

Brazil · Jan 20, 2012

Origin Giratina and Reshiram above Lugia, Blastoise, Suicune, Venusaur, and Kyogre?

Seriously, Japan?

origin girtaina is lamer than normal giratina but reshiram is totally one of the best legendaries.

I believe it is a poll of the best Pokemon to have appeared on a core game boxart.

that's what i thought.

It's for the Pokémon which were on boxarts.

Shig · Jan 20, 2012

They should go back to putting the starters on the box. The legendaries are so overdesigned.

Boken · Jan 20, 2012

Rayquaza and Penis fur mon too high.

jbueno · Jan 20, 2012

If it were up to me, Venusaur and Blastoise should have been No. 1 & 2.

Perfect Blue · Jan 20, 2012

I thought only Red and Green came out in Japan. Blue did too?

Nemo · Jan 20, 2012

Pokemon red/blue cartridges > every game out there

yeah, blue did, too. international red & blue are also based on japanese blue.

Care to elaborate why? I have to admit my Pokémon-knowledge ends around Gold/Silver.

Rayquaza is a badass dragon and probably hard to obtain if you don't have Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.

Jarmel · Jan 20, 2012

This is a horrible result and these are some horrible boxarts.

Basically when you go up a generation the legendaries from the previous generations become v. difficult to obtain.

TeegsD · Jan 20, 2012

To see that Charizard wasn't last and instead beat both Blastoise and Venusaur is so sad.

You can only get Rayquaza in Ruby/ Sapphire / Emerald. All GBA Games., unless you had all games from there, you can't have it.

am I right?

survivor · Jan 20, 2012

Gen 3 boxarts were badass.

It's in HG/SS.

HG/SS must have the most content out of any of these games.

But you could import from the GBA-games to Black/White if you owned both, right? So it's not like a "first" to have that one on Black/White?

The Technomancer · Jan 20, 2012

That is a very very weird list. I would not have guessed any of those placements.

They're fucking ridiculous. Still feel crappy about skipping them, although taking a break from Pokemon after getting D, P and Pt was probably for the best. :lol

No, you had to import them into D/P/Pt/Hg/Ss first. GBA to B/W was not possible.

DSi and DSi XL don't have GBA slots. Lots of people have DSis and DSi XLs.

OMG Aero · Jan 20, 2012

Why is Reshiram third? That's the real travesty here, he needs to be a lot lower.

IceDoesntHelp · Jan 20, 2012

God dammit. Ho-oh, even though you're below Lugia (AGAIN), I still love you.

Ah, I see, now THAT is a hassle.

Tobe · Jan 20, 2012

come on man lugia shouldve won. but yeah itrs true pkmn has terrible boxarts

Sadist · Jan 20, 2012

Superior Silver!!11!1!

wrowa · Jan 20, 2012

10 is the new 1

BGBW · Jan 20, 2012

While I feel Zekrom looks better than Reshiram, in terms of box art, white on black looks much slicker than black on white in this instance.

ZeroGravity · Jan 20, 2012

Rayquaza? Really?

It's easily one of the more forgettable legendary Pokemon.
