If you go for multiple generations, make sure you set aside a good chunk of time.

Firus · Dec 4, 2011

This site is actually really cool and entertaining. Just did my 1st gen favorites and my all gen favorites.

It's not 100% accurate, but it's certainly interesting to see how it pans out.

1st Gen

All Gens

Volcarona and Cubone are seriously missing from the all generations favorites, and I only chose Reshiram over one other thing so I don't even know how that ended up in my top 10, but whatever.

Thanks for posting this, Wave.

Plum · Dec 4, 2011

1. Arcanine <3 <3
2. Scizor
3. Milotic
4. Gyradose
5. Umbreon
6. Serperior
7. Flygon
8. Shelmet (lolwut? uhno)
9. Dragonite
10. Nidoking

No real disagreements except that random Shelmet. Never actually voted him over anyone else, but it just kinda tossed him into the last groupings of Pogeys.
I like snake-like Pokemon more than I really realized. Would probably put Breloom in there as the actual 10th favorite in that list over Shelmet.

commonyoshi · Dec 4, 2011

Yeah, some I felt like some pokemon got pretty lucky. A golbat kept getting paired up with lame pokemon and somehow ended up number 7, lol.

But dunsparce for top tier!

#HBC | ZoZo · Dec 4, 2011

For me it was a total miss (gen 1-2)

My top10 that I thought of is:
1. Farfetch'd
2. Dunsparce
3/4. Scyther/Kabutops
5. Raichu
6. Yanma
7. Shuckle
8. Mew
9. Ivysaur
10. Wartortle

What I got was:

1. Scyther
2. Kabutops
3. Farfetch'd
4. Blastoise
5. Entei
6. Raticate
7. Raichu
8. Ivysaur
9. Ledyba
10. Dunsparce

:3

JPOBS · Dec 4, 2011

1. Scyther
2. Blastoise
3. Charizard
4. Vaporeon
5. Snorlax
6.Sandslash
7. Ninetales
8. Electabuzz
9. Arcanine
10. Squirtle

Only did first gen. Very accurate for me.
Only changes I would make are maybe jolteon instead of vaporeon, but I love all of eevee's evolutions so anyone of them kinda represents the trio.
The only major inaccuracy is that Gyarados should really be in the top 5 but for some reason, I only got to choose gyarados once, then he went up against scyther (my favorite) the second time, then I never saw him again :/

Deleted member · Dec 4, 2011

Blaziken and Gengar are missing, and I wouldn't rank Shiftry or Munchlax that high, but those are my only issues.

Night-san · Dec 4, 2011

Marowak, Nidoking, and Typhlosion are missing. Suicune shouldn't be on there, I think. Fairly accurate overall, though. :o

Life · Dec 4, 2011

This would be SO much more accurate if it had a Shuffle button.

No, I love Thundurus and Darkrai (or whoever) both, please don't make me eliminate one in the first dozen rounds, kthx.

The Real Gamer · Dec 6, 2011

Well that was fun! I only did Gen 1 but my top 10 was fairly accurate.

1. Charizard
2. Starmie
3. Cloyster
4. Squirtle
5. Snorlax
6. Gyrados
7. Dragonite
8. Gengar
9. Pikachu
10. Lapras

Clownbot · Dec 6, 2011

This website is awesome. Like people have been saying it's not completely accurate but it's still really fun.

My overall Top 10:

1. Darkrai
2. Donphan
3. Houndoom
4. Sableye
5. Latios
6. Ho-Oh
7. Blaziken
8. Raikou
9. Charmeleon
10. Poliwag

Kofu · Dec 6, 2011

1. Kabutops
2. Mewtwo
3. Venomoth (nope)
4. Magmar
5. Hypno
6. Parasect
7. Pinsir
8. Magneton
9. Paras (nope)
10. Flareon

Not quite accurate (Gengar should be on there somewhere, as should Porygon), but it's pretty good.

OUT OF ALL POKEMON:
1. Kabutops
2. Breloom
3. Drifblim
4. Porygon-Z
5. Gengar
6. Blastoise
7. Hydreigon
8. Octillery
9. Stunfisk
10. Machamp

Kabutops really is my favorite, and Breloom, Drifblim, and Porygon-Z all deserve to be that high.

Gengar is one of my favorites, Blastoise was my first starter (though I'm starting to not like it as much), and Hydreigon's design is just brilliant.

Octillery and Stunfisk probably shouldn't be this high, but I do like them. Machamp is the anomaly (I like it, but not THAT much).

Still, pretty cool.

Wave-Guiding Hero · Dec 6, 2011

Mine was... sort of accurate

What I got:
1. Lucario
2. Luxray
3. Latios
4. Dragonite
5. Armaldo
6. Milotic
7. Quilava
8. Tyranitar
9. Umbreon
10. Arcanine

My actual top 10:
1. Lucario
2. Absol
3. Latios
4. Luxray
5. Glaceon
6. Milotic
7. Latias
8. Umbreon
9. Articuno
10. Zoroark

Clownbot · Dec 6, 2011

[collapse=Generation I]1. Magmar
2. Arcanine
3. Kabutops
4. Hypno
5. Mewtwo
6. Dragonite
7. Electabuzz
8. Voltorb
9. Onix
10. Magneton[/collapse]

I really wish there was an option to do specific gens outside I. I was able to get a few gen-specific results by doing my best to eliminate any pokemon outside the gen in question:

[Collapse=Generation II]1. Raikou
2. Entei
3. Octillery
4. Tyranitar
5. Heracross
6. Bayleef
7. Granbull
8. Bellossom
9. Steelix
10. Ursaring[/COLLAPSE]

[COLLAPSE=Generation V]1. Braviary
2. Zekrom
3. Reuniclus
4. Meloetta
5. Samurott
6. Archen
7. Mienshao
8. Eelektross
9. Heatmor
10. Audino[/COLLAPSE]

PsychoIncarnate · Dec 7, 2011

1) Blastoise
2) Aerodactyl
3) Charizard
4) Nidoking
5) Parasect
6) Electabuz
7) Mewtwo
8) Venomoth
9) Paras
10) Squirtle

Yeah, it's NOT accurate.

Too many I like being put against my favorites in early rounds. Tough decisions which somehow other sucky things don't get

Pogogo · Dec 7, 2011

But....I already know

ERayz · Dec 7, 2011

Well, it doesn't work for me, it only shows two eggs, and if I click on one, it will increase the "eliminated pokémon" counter. :/

UltiMario · Dec 8, 2011

If you're using Internet Explorer or some other crap browser that may be your problem.

Wave⁂ · Dec 8, 2011

I bet you're using NoScript but don't actually know what it does

ParaChomp · Dec 8, 2011

I know my top few but I'll give this a shot...
...don't like how this was programmed...
...the results...

10. Giratina

9. Feraligatr

8. Kyurem

7. Salamence

6. Mewtwo

5. Flygon

4. Ditto

3. Pidgeot

2. Charizard

1. Shuckle

Kyurem? Flygon? Giratina?! Pidgeot!? No, no, no, no, no, no. On top of that, Mewtwo's my #2 and Lucario's my #3, the program forced me to choose between them or Shuckle! Yeah, Shuckle's my favourite, deal with it! None the less, this isn't anything to freak over, it's just a game about a game. Speaking of games, you just lost it! When I say "it", I mean THE GAME.

Now to make a competitive team out of the ones that aren't banned! It's going to fail miserably. Wouldn't go posting this on Smogon though...you'll get interacted, trust me.

How does one save an image of their whole list?

6. Lucario

10. Garchomp!

All in all i say this is extremely acccurate and it got my top two right if only latios wasnt there then it wouldve been perfect

PsychoIncarnate · Dec 18, 2011

It would be really hard for you to end up having your number 1 choice NOT be number 1

Dooms · Dec 18, 2011

1st and 2nd gen:

1. Sunkern
2. Ledian
3. Pikachu
4. Hoppip
5. Pichu
6. Horsea
7. Koffing (It was his first time in the whole thing...)
8. Sentret
9. Jigglypuff
10. Cubone

Replace Koffing with Butterfree and it would be pretty accurate.

Edit: Gen 1 through 4:

1. Plusle
2. Shaymin
3. Igglybuff
4. Shedinja
5. Minun
6. Lotad
7. Castform
8. Dratini
9. Furret
10. Pikachu

This one is also very accurate. No replacements needed, either!

mzink* · Jan 2, 2012

Mine was pretty accurate except I did a few accidental clicks before I'd even seen the two pokemon being compared and the end result was the purple dog thing with the heavy jaw somehow getting put in my favorites, no way.

But my favorite pokemon is Arcanine and it got that correct. The others were all in my top 10, just would have been switched up alil.

Ice Prince · Jan 3, 2012

1. Absol <3
2. Garchomp
3. Espeon
4. Flareon
5. Articuno
6. Glaceon
7. Empoleon
8. Dragonite
9. Gardevoir
10. Lapras

Not bad--I like the majority of these.

Glad Absol was my number 1--a bit surprising, but I've always loved Absol.

Pachinkosam · Jan 3, 2012

gooo mewtwo!! yaaaaayyyyaaaaa!!

Gatlin · Jan 3, 2012

Sandshrew <3

Jim Morrison · Jan 4, 2012

The problem here is when you have to choose between two of your favourites pretty early on.

1. Blastoise
2. Gloom
3. Porygon
4. Alakazam
5. Charizard
6. Kingler
7. Arcanine
8. Wartortle
9. Mr. Mime
10. Rhydon

Sounds okay... Kingler shouldn't be there and Mr. Mime and Arcanine got gayed by Blastoise so suddenly Alakazam got up there lol.

9Kplus1 · Jan 9, 2012

Gen I - Gen IV:

Lopunny <3 <3 <3
Mawile
Weavile
Espeon
Sceptile
Ho-Oh
Slugma
Ampharos
Latias
Darkrai

Heh, it was lot more accurate than I'd initially expected.

Jet300 · Jan 9, 2012

>

Will always be my favorite Pokemon. And i named my

after my Dog who died.

asianaussie · Jan 9, 2012

gens 1-3

love that manectric, but the rest is pretty meh

oddish and shroomish are nowhere to be seen

Kantrip · Jan 9, 2012

I love that people are always happy that their favourite got first.

It's pretty inevitable, considering they will never get eliminated and are always going to come up as your first pick since they win in every pairing.

asianaussie · Jan 9, 2012

it's not like people here don't understand that, this is a topic celebrating your *favourite* pokemon, so you may as well say something about that >_>

choknater · Jan 9, 2012

AGGRON #1!!

i'd say this list is pretty good except for Fearow... however there were some pokemon that belong on this list that i had a really hard time eliminating...

steelix v chandelure - voted steelix so early! ugh. chandelure belongs at #4
aggron v arcanine - voted aggron
RHYPERIOR V AGGRON?! - ughhhh this was hard. voted aggron
AGGRON V LILLIGANT WTFFFFF - UNFAIR. lilligant belongs at #3
AGGRON V STEELIX UGHHHHH - steelix belongs at #2!!

this was a cute way to see who our favorite pokemon is. i'm pretty sure #1 will always be #1.. but the 1-10 ranking is not totally accurate!

my second time through:
