[jrmanimal]

Gen 1: 6
Gen 2: 4
Gen 3: 3
Gen 4: 0
Gen 5: 3
Gen 6: 1
Gen 7: 1

 

[Boss Doggie]

we share 3 gen 6 mons, you sir have great taste!

 

[Iryx]

Gen I: 1
Gen II: 2
Gen III: 3
Gen IV: 6
Gen V: 4
Gen VI: 0
Gen VII: 1

Surprised how many pokémon are from Gen 4, since they are my least favourite games.

 

[Galang]

Jeez this is impossible, especially for water. I need at least two choices for each typing lol.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

gen 1 - 9
gen 2 - 1
gen 3 - 3
gen 4 - 1
gen 5 -1
gen 6 -2
gen 7- 1

 

[rochellepaws]

Some difficult decisions had to be made...

 

[Lynchian]

 

[BiggNife]

These charts reminded me that I am just not really a fan of the artwork that Nintendo/TPC uses for Global Link

That pikachu design specifically is the weird circle-head one they use in marketing and is not really reflective at all of how he looks in game

Pikachu looks so much better with a chubby chin

 

[Nori Chan]

I picked just from my favorite designs and not of power or tiers. The mega evolutions really made lots of pokemon stand out to me.

fuck anyone who likes infernape

 

[Magnus]

My tastes differ from most. And I have no idea which gen a few of these come from, lol.

Shit, I forgot to include Yveltal. Oh well.

 

[Prodigenius10]

Gen 1&2 dominating ofc

You sir have good taste. Typhlosion, Suicune, Tyrantrum and Articuno stay winning.

I honestly refer to that chu as "advertising"-chu, the Pikachu they designed whenever TPC likes to shit out advertising material

anime, smash, and in-game has that chubby face look which is actually much better, it's the perfect - best - design Pikachu has, over his old and new look.

 

[shiftplusone]

I think the split is

gen 1: 12
gen 2: 6

and 0 for the rest

 

[PK Gaming]

I only roll with the coolest or cutest Pokémon. Nothing else applies!

Forgot to do a gen breakdown.

Gen I: 4
Gen II: 2
Gen III: 1
Gen IV: 3
Gen V: 5
Gen VI: 3
Gen VII: 0

Agreed

 

[El Sabroso]

Gen III: 7
Gen IV: 4
Gen V: 0
Gen VI: 0
Gen VII: 1

 

[Zyrox]

Haha, thanks. Always wanted a T-Rex ever since Gen 1 and they finally (and totally) delivered with Tyrantrum. Should've been in Pokkén tbh.
Aegislash was love at first sight. Great design (and my favorite Shiny) and also very cool gameplay concept with the stances.
Noivern is just a solid design all around. Helps that I love bats. Can't pass up a bat/dragon.

 

[SliceSabre]

My taste in pokemon is unmatched.

 

[Keinning]

call me a genwunner


see if i care

 

[PSqueak]

Did i mention i like cute girly ones?

 

[Igama]

Damn this was difficult.

Gen I: 4.
Gen II: 2.
Gen III: 5.
Gen IV: 0 (lmao).
Gen V: 2.
Gen VI: 3.
Gen VII: 2.

 

[Mael]

There's 1 filler with rock because fuck rock.
Otherwise I feel like I kinda cheated with Dark and Flying but lol

nb of pokemon that initially appeared in gen # (nb of pokemon whose form is from gen #)

I : 4 (3)
II : 1 (0)
III : 4 (1)
IV : 0 (0)
V : 2 (2)
VI : 5 (9)
VII : 2 (3)

Yeah I really like what they did in Gen VI, why do you ask?

And somehow I had to decide between Sylveon and Xerneas.
You win this round Sylveon!

 

[ShadowFox08]

Tag for later

 

[The Silver]

 

[lionpants]

The best!

 

[Lukemon]

Gen I: 5
Gen II: 4
Gen III: 1
Gen IV: 2
Gen V: 3
Gen VI: 0
Gen VII: 3

Decent spread, I do actually like a bunch of Gen VI stuff but was all just edged out by something else... yeah, that wasn't easy.

 

[Luxorek]

Mostly gen 2 Pokes as those are my favourite, but I have a soft spot for gen 3 as well.

 

[Nocturnowl]

This gave me something to do during a slow shift

Poor Cloyster, Flygon and Gliscor getting left on the cutting room floor here but something had to give.

Gen 1: 4
Primeape has always been my boy

Gen 2: 3
Octillery has slowly worked its way up the list over the years

Gen 3: 2
Why couldn't I choose MEGA AGGRON?!

Gen 4: 2
Feels odd to put Abomasnow as grass over ice but I had to squeeze folks in, Magnezone edged out Electivire which also reminded me that electric types haven't really done much for me

Gen 5: 1
I actually really like Unova's pokemon, they just occupy many honourable mention spots.
Krokorok is still radder than its evo dicknosedile.
It almost got a bug spot with Escavalier

Gen 6: 3
Goodra came outta nowhere in my Sun/Moon file where it became the MVP of my tourney team among my friends (where we all fell to a mighty...pelipper)
Flygon got demoted from top dragon as a result.

Gen 7: 3
I'll say that fairy and poison kinda lacked definitive choices on my end so Gen 7 snuck some in here.
Obviously Decidueye for life.

 

[Erekiddo]

Gen 1 - 4
Gen 2 - 9
Gen 3 - 2
Gen 4 - 3

I like you.

 

[MogCakes]

These are the pokemon that served me best through the games. I chose a couple in their non-final evolutions because that time period of the game was when they really shined. Or because I never evolved them (Staryu).

 

[brinstar]

I had to make some tough choices here, couldn't get in Blaziken or Mamoswine. Had to choose between Buzzwole and Pheromosa. I feel like my favorites change all the time haha.

 

[SuomiDude]

Basically all except one is from Gen 1 and 2. Though that's because I haven't played the newer Pokemon games except Ruby which I'm currectly playing (and got Mudkip from). And even the 2nd gen is from Pokemon Go actually, but I've got used to them by now.

 

[Dark Orchid]

Gen 1: 5
Gen 2: 4
Gen 3: 1
Gen 4: 1
Gen 5: 2
Gen 6: 1
Gen 7: 4

Gen 7 was definitely a return to form, I have to say. A lot of new favorites there.

 

[Smeags]

Dark Pokemon are definitely my favorite, with Weavile being the greatest of them all! <3

Gen 1: 0
Gen 2: 1
Gen 3: 0
Gen 4: 2
Gen 5: 8
Gen 6: 4
Gen 7: 3

 

[PK Gaming]

Someone should no-life this thread and make a list of Pokemon from most popular to least.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Dark Pokemon are definitely my favorite, with Weavile being the greatest of them all! <3

And here I thought only I could appreciate the love of Porygon-Z!

 

[Laputa_94]

 

[Smeags]

And here I thought only I could appreciate the love of Porygon-Z!

Yeah, I love how quirky it is, and how fun it is to use in battle. A lot of Normal types can be rather... normal, so our PGZ really stands above! *high five*

 

[Macka]

If I was feeling like gaming the system more, I'd have Gengar in Poison and Charizard in Flying, so that I bring in Arcanine for Fire and Sableye for Ghost.

Gen I: 3
Gen II: 4
Gen III: 1
Gen IV: 3
Gen V: 1
Gen VI: 4
Gen VII: 2

 

[Vorkken]

This was tough. I feel sad to leave out Vikavolt, but Xirkitree won.

Lots of more dual bug types than I thought though.

Gen I: 0
Gen II: 2
Gen III: 1
Gen IV: 4
Gen V: 6
Gen VI: 2
Gen VII: 3

 

[Shrike Alvaron]

Espeon, Umbreon, and Quilava got shafted, they're really up in my faves for those types but just not QUITE the top.

Is it clear that I like the small cute Pokemon, even over their own evolved forms most often? Also, Eeveelutions.

Gen 1: 4
Gen 2: 0 (Doesn't mean I don't like them!)
Gen 3: 2
Gen 4: 6 (This is why I want that Diamond/Pearl remake)
Gen 5: 2
Gen 6: 1
Gen 7: 3

 

[MannyToons]

I have too many Gen 5 favorites...

 

[Playsage]

Obvious bias for the generations I grew up with

Still, 2nd gen is best gen

 

[Nightwing123]

This was really hard to do. I left out so many of my favorite Pokemon
My list for these sorts of things always changes depending on the day.
Rock was between Lycanroc and Tyrunt it can go either way.

 

[Oswen]

Nice tool, here is mine:

 

[KdylanR92]

Not much love for Gen 1 pokemon anymore, Gen 3 and 4 are my jam though.

 

[spad3]

I was originally gonna put Silvally as all of them but eh. lmao

Edit:

Gen 1- 1 - Gengar
Gen 2- 4 - Houndoom, Suicune, Tyranitar, Scizor
Gen 3- 3 - Sceptile, Metagross, Rayquaza
Gen 4- 5 - Luxray, Lucario, Drapion, Giratina, Arceus
Gen 5- 3 - Excadrill, Zoroark, Kyruem-B
Gen 6- 0 - Megas. Most of it was a let-down other than Aegislash, Greninja, and the legendaries (Hoopa Unbound and Aegislash were both solid candidates for Ghost.)
Gen 7- 2 - Silvally, Solgaleo

Bold = BEST. DESIGNS. EVER.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I was originally gonna put Silvally as all of them but eh. lmao

besides, god does it better anyway

 

[spad3]

besides, god does it better anyway

Yeah haha I mean for a non-legendary, it's great, but the Arceus is better in every way.
