Who is the least iconic Pokemon?

Correct, as that is the only place Gamefreak likes to do popularity polls. Also, the only place they care about doing special events and unique advertisements.
I would guess in an America poll Charizard would be top 3 (probably number 1 tbh), Gardevoir would be waaaaaay higher. Arcanine, Lucario would be pretty high too but Greninja would probably not be top 10.
Because some of these characters look so out of place and lackluster.
That ain't a Pokemon, sir.
One of those "mid" evolution types, like a cocoon for a butterfly-like mon for example.
Like, you'll only be using that as a step to get to the evolution you want, it almost feels like cheating to have it as its own entry in the dex.
feel free to disregard my opinions though, as I've never played one of the real actual Pokemon games
even though I'm probably right, going by the chart above

Finneon is notable for it's complete lack of notability. Definitely the least iconic.
Nah, people love tsuchinoko, plus he used to be really useful in the TCG.
Being in the top ten ain't bad, especially when the poll is already skewed with legendary pokemon having a big bias, as the winner would always be release as an event. As for you last point, I disagree as Greninja was being heavily promoted at the time with him getting in Smash, while also being Ash's signature pokemon in the Kalos region.
I disagree, Gen 5 was memorable for me in terms of designs, some are bad sure, to me Gen 6 had the worst.
And yes i played the series since Gen 1.
There likely is a pokemon that has gotten next to no representation outside of the main games but I'm not willing to shift through over 800 different ones to figure it out. Kadabra has had it really rough outside of the main games so maybe that one?
Feebas is well known if only because its capture requirements were whack.
Definitely a bad design, but every Gen 1 Pokémon is probably iconic enough to avoid being the least iconic overall.Racistmon
Gen 5 pokemon are all amazing.
Probably Binacle
Don't you dare slander my son.
It's really fucking sad that you have to repeat the same exact shit every time Pokemon comes up on this forum. It's like your own stupid copypasta.
Zoroark for the lols. Or Stantler.
Rotom has stayed weirdly relevant ever since Platinum.
Mothim. There are way too many moth Pokémon and this one is the most ugliest and useless. It doesn't even have a secondary typing.
Budew. A baby Pokémon for Roselia? Just, why? Was even Roselia that popular during gen 3 to deserve both evolution and baby stage? Thank God that baby concept is dead and we're not getting any more of that nonsense.

It goes back to him having a one percent chance of finding one with a good/super rod. He is also not that good in battling, so barely anyone went out of their way to catching it. But him being name called so much in these threads eliminates him from being the least popular pokemon.
This fucking thing.
Isn't it evolution like the ultimate HM Slave, especially with the Normal/Water typing?
The interesting thing about Spewpa is that it's on its second time being a summon in a Smash Bros game, so there's some inherent notability from that alone that puts it above stuff like Stantler and Mothim
yeah, these guys are boring af
Don't forget Cascoon, which is a completely different Pokemon with its own PokeDex number from Silcoon and everything!
Yeah, the cocoon types are ultimate lets move on fodder. Even in first gen, nobody cares. No humanization and zero facial expressions ain't helping.
Not a dig against the designs, but they are clearly not meant to be cared about.
I've never really liked Gen 5's designs but seeing people with some kind of vendetta against them is peak ERA.
Well after it I'd go for Huntail or Gorebyss.
I often forget Clamperl evolves at all.
Some people are posting pokemon that are just bad and unpopular.
I think in a way these can still be iconic as representations of shit pokemon.
like, everybody makes fun of bidoof. everyone knows bidoof.
I think to truly satisfy the least iconic requirement you have to discover the most basic pokemon of all time that literally nobody has strong feelings about that most dont even remember exist.
Show me the monster that if it was deleted from the games I wouldnt even notice
I think these are good entries because I don't remember ever even seeing them before in my life even though it probably happened at some point
I remember their other evolutions fine
but not these forms
not even a little

I forgot this Pokemon existed until I saw its pre-evolution in the Detective Pikachu trailer
It's Shiinotic, a Pokemon whose name I had to look up because I literally could not remember it. It's also terrifying looking.

It replaced Gen 3 as the series' punching bag. It's a shame, because for man reasons I think the Gen 5 games were really quality titles the series has had in a good minute.
