>>53686397>Gen 1Fire Spin, Fire Blast, and Slash. Every kid on the block had a Charizard with these three moves. And how could you not? The fire breathing dragon was on the front cover.
>Gen 2Typhlosion. Riding off the heels of Charizard, his claim to fame was an early second stage and beating water types with thunder punch.
>Gen 3This one's weird. On release, it was definitely Blaziken. But nowadays, everyone uses Swampert. We'll see which one is more popular when Ruby and Sapphire eventually cone to NSO.
>Gen 3 FRLGGame Freak absolutely knew what they were doing when they gave Charmander metal claw. They wanted to make him as retard-proof as possible for the hordes of normies that picked Charizard a second time knowing that Brock's pokemon now had Rock Tomb.
>Gen 4Japan loves piplup, but everyone used Infernape in-game.
>Gen 4 HGSSTyphlosion being trash compared to Feraligatr in gen 4 didn't stop the normies from picking him.
>Gen 5 BW1Serperior. People were really turned off by Emboar's typing and Samurott's design. However, they sure as fuck didn't like Serperior's statline after fighting Ghetsis.
>Gen 5 BW2Lucario. Everyone catches Riolu at the ranch and sidelines the their starter.
>Gen 6 XYGreninja. Most popular gen 6 starter. Most popular starter. Most popular pokemon.
>Gen 6 ORASMega Blaziken. Everyone knew he was busted in XY and the other two starter megas didn't quite deliver.
>Gens 7, 8, and 9Didn't play, so I don't know what people picked. None of them are all that popular except Cinderace. The kids love Cinderace.
The real question is what is the most popular eeveelution in XD
