Digglet, magnezone, voltrob, muk exeggcute and ditto have always had a presence for being dumb concepts made pokemons and some, plus minor memes like digglet legs and cum.
As for gen 1 in general, even before pokemon go, normal people could recognize them as pokemons. No one outside the pokemon community has any idea what gen 4-7 pokemons look like, and only 3 gen III-VI pokemon managed to get a level of presence outisde of pokemon that could somewhat rival gen 1 pokemon, and pretty much just internet only: greninja, mudkip and gardevoir.
Rage all you want about nostalgiafags and normalfags not caring about anything past gen 2, you are still a deluded idiot, blinded by its own fanboyism. Gen 1 will always be the most and pretty much only iconic pokemon, it's just the way it is.
