>>53451339Only retards actually think Greninja was the most popular Pokémon. Other anons have already posted the reasons, but
>poll separated by region/generation>Kalos only has Greninja, no other Gen 6 Pokémon are meaningfully popular at all, meaning the vast majority of people would pick Greninja for the Gen 6 category. Not to mention there’s only like 70 to choose from.>almost every Gen 1 Pokémon is popular, which splits the vote. Plus there’s 151 rather than 70-ish.>Gen 1/Kanto is by far the most popular and well known generation, this is a well known fact>Charizard won the Kanto poll, and if you adjust for proportional dex size, it beats Greninja before even considering the quality of alternate choicesI’m no Charizard shill, when it comes to Kanto starters I far prefer Bulbasaur. But it’s just the facts. You can’t just squish all the results together from separate regions because they were entirely separate polls. If you want a real answer, we need them to do another massive Pokémon of the Year poll through Google, but people have to choose from the whole National Dex. Chances are, Charizard would *probably* win (though Gengar, Pikachu, Eevee, and Bulbasaur would also be very strong candidates given the previous Kanto-only results).
