The Japanese choose their favorite Pokémon: do you agree with the choices?

This year Pokémon has not left anyone indifferent with its news, since we will be able to enjoy numerous new titles such as New Pokémon Snap, the remakes of Pokémon Shiny Pearl and Shining Diamond as well as the new open-world in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. But it is not the only important thing that Pokémon has brought us this year since we can finally see a list of fan favorites.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Pokémon, a survey has been conducted in Japan via Twitter to find out which Pokémon are most loved by fans over the past year. There are many Japanese who have been encouraged to participate in this survey and there has been a total of 1,187,368 votes that in turn translate into 568,167 tweets.

Only 30 Pokémon of the 893 that exist have been classified

Only 30 Pokémon have been classified as favorites, and curiously we find Pokémon of all generations except the second. Of course, it is a very difficult task to choose Pokémon from all generations, especially if we take into account the large list of Pokémon that currently exists where the eighth has been presented with Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Contrary to what many will think, the most popular Pokémon are not the best known. The ones that lead the list are obviously also popular, but not as popular as Pikachu and Bulbasaur can be, which although they are also part of this list, do not occupy the top positions. If you want to know which have been the most voted Pokémon, we leave you below the list starring the 30 most beloved:
