this is taking into account both the first and final evolutions of the pokemon. middle evolutions have broken 1000 guitars but never drawn a dime in their lives so fuck them
gen 1
the rare and only triple michaels. you could maybe argue charmander/charizard is the biggest draw, but its splitting hairs
gen 2
totodile/feraligatr. nuff said hes a hall of famer, carried the company on his back for a couple years. no real jannetty here they were all decent draws in their own right.
gen 3
mudkip is the michaels. also drew serious dimes with the online fanbase with his meme back in the day. torchic was over with the tryhards and treekos 3rd evolution had xpac heat so he was the jannetty
gen 4
turtwig is the michaels. this was the last time all 3 were draws, but if there must be a jannetty its chimchar
from here on we are entering the 'new gen' era, a lot of vanilla dimeless shitters getting main event pushes
gen 5
tepig is the michaels, but this is more for the fact the other 2 are a double janetty, i literally forgot snivy existed
gen 6.
although chespin is the better pokemon, froakie was a huge draw with the marks, he was the john cena of his time so he is the michaels. fennekin never drew a dime
gen 7
rowlet is the michaels, popplio is the jannetty unless you were a furfag
gen 8
grookey is the michaels, scorbunny is the jannetty unless you were a furfag
and the unreleased game
fuecoco is the michaels, and sprigatito is the jannetty
in conclusion
FIRE
3 michaels, 3 jannetty
WATER
4 michaels, 2 jannetty
Grass
4 michaels, 2 jannetty
