Since E3 2019, the Pokemon community has been working hard to convince Game Freak that their decision to scrap the National Dex in Pokemon Sword and Shield is not the right way to go.

One popular phrase that came out of this is “every Pokemon is someone’s favorite Pokemon”, which means there will be people who will be disappointed if their favorite Pokemon couldn’t be transferred into Pokemon Sword and Shield.

To prove this phrase was true, the Pokemon subreddit held a survey asking Pokemon fans to vote for their favorite Pokemon. Over 52,000 responses were received. Here’s the top 10 most popular Pokemon:

1. Charizard
2. Gengar
3. Arcanine
4. Bulbasaur
5. Blaziken
6. Umbreon
7. Lucario
8. Gardevoir
9. Eevee
10. Dragonite

Unfortunately 4 out of the 800 or so Pokemon weren’t so popular that they received 0 votes:

Silcoon: 0
Gothita: 0
Eelektrik: 0
Yungoos: 0

Their evolutions did receive at least one vote each, so it wasn’t too bad:

Wurmple: 12
Beautifly: 2
Cascoon: 2
Dustox: 5
Gothorita: 5
Gothitelle: 16
Tynamo: 6
Eelektross: 49
Gumshoos: 4
