Oh hell no, this is responsible for the only good episode of Best Wishes.
Semisear, as he was the least voted on the last pokemon popular poll. Graveler is also a good contender, as despite having a head start he still fail to escape from the bottom twenty placing.
It was done in peak XY anime popularity
At least this has a gimmick.
It is, as it it is our only official data when it comes to pokemon popularity. Yes, some people will skewed towards legendaries, but that doesn't mean the rest of the data is wrong. Look at the top 100, and except for Archeops and Archen, I doubt anyone would disagree that they are popular. Also, a poll with more than half a million votes isn't something to just ignore, and forget.It was done in peak XY anime popularity
The large number of legends/mythicals at the top are also because the winner of this poll got a giveaway event.
So it's not really accurate to anything other than "who was in the Anime when this was taken" and "who does Japan want released as an event Pokemon"
It's not a very good poll to use for anything.
I still have no idea why it has a pre-evolutionAt least this has a gimmick.
Imagine being the pre-evolved version of this, without the only thing that makes it distinctive.
Those half a million people were voting on which event Pokemon they wanted. That's it. It's not a proper popularity pollIt is, as it it is our only official data when it comes to pokemon popularity.

What about it's other hidden ability? You know, the one that makes it weak to fire-types?*Ahem*
I've been playing Pokemon since red and blue. Greninja is my new fav. As a ninja fan, of all sorts of ninjas, Greninja fits the bill perfectly. His design with the tongue scarf is brilliant. It looks awesome because ninjas with scarves are dope. Shout out to Hotsuma. It also makes sense as a froggo. The color blue is my favorite. Dark Pokemon kick ass. His hidden ability protean is remarkable and so damn powerful. Glass cannon's are my jam. Speed and power for life. His shiny color is also badass. Black and red baby. Greninja is just everything I could want in a Pokemon, in regards to looks and utility. Even in doubles the Mat Block was awesome. Sorry Scyther and Scizor, you two have been dethroned.
Greninja, a starter, still won it. It shows how freaking popular he is to beat the legendaries.Those half a million people were voting on which event Pokemon they wanted. That's it. It's not a proper popularity poll
It's Worth keeping in mind that it was also advertised through the anime and Greninja had a ludicrously heavy focus in the anime at the time. I honestly don't think the poll is representative of much at allGreninja, a starter, still won it. It shows how freaking popular he is to beat the legendaries.
Yet, Greninja won in the end. Also, I doubt all of the half of million of fans were alll focused on just voting for legendaries, and fill out their ten choices as just that. Pokemon like Charizard, Meowth, and Lucario in the top twenty shows that it wasn't just legendary bias, and the next hundred pokemon being well known pokemon, or memes, further prove this. As for your later point, we need to wait another four years for the next poll.Those half a million people were voting on which event Pokemon they wanted. That's it. It's not a proper popularity poll
Lumineon is that weird case where it was so unmemorable it became an icon for unmemorable Pokémon lolIt used to be Lumineon, but then people started to regularly bring it up in these types of discussions.
1% encounter rate on one spot killed it.
Oh wow, what a novel take.
But it's supercute!
An unnecessary pre-evolution for an already obscure 'mon (I guess the anime brought Chimecho more to the spotlight, though) .
Ironically a lot of the top Pokemon got there because choosing a Pokemon was done alphabetically so you got a lot of Pokemon whose Japanese name begins with A.Yet, Greninja won in the end.

Can't be forgotten if nobody knows you exist ;)It just came out a few months ago, it's too new to be forgotten.
Everyone knows stantler from that singular patch of grass in gscHeatmor has an amazing shiny so it can't be him. Finneon's pretty popular in Pokemon Go because of its rarity so it can't be him. I say...
Archen, and Archeops are the go to lazy options, as both of them are the first two options when picking pokemon. Arbok is actually quite popular in Japan for some strange reason, but a possible reason could be because it was Jessie's first pokemon in the anime; Ekans being in the 102 spot further support this.. Either that, or alot of people have a kinbaru fetish.Ironically a lot of the top Pokemon got there because choosing a Pokemon was done alphabetically so you got a lot of Pokemon whose Japanese name begins with A.
It's why Arbok (same), Beautifly (Agehunt), and Armando (same) are so high.
And this would be a good choice.
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.
Correct, and I guess a quite amount of people only care about their favorites, and don't care about filling out the whole poll. But I'll still argue that Beautifly is more than just a filler space, and that it does have some popularity backing it up.I'm just saying if you look at a list of Pokemon with Japanese names that begin with A a lot of them pop up...Meditite is Asanan for example and doesn't have anything notable about it...at the very least Medicham would beat it.
"Things"??? Go look up for the inspiration behind these beauties then come back please5 pages in and people haven't got the right answer yet?
It's clearly these 2... things...
I forget these things exist for years at a time.
I'm pretty sure it was intentional in this case. It has that "what the hell" factor when it shows up for the first time in the elite four, especially since its typing is a bit puzzling to find out first hand.
I loosely follow pokemon now a days and recognize almost everything in here. But this....is perplexing.
The oddity of learning Attract despite being nongendered
I feel compelled to submit another candidate. Who can name this thing, honestly? Totally missed seeing it on my first run through the Gen in which it first appeared, only later discovering its existence when checking a full Pokédex Wiki weeks later.
