[@SJrad]

let's be real pikachu is the mario of pokemon. most people know pikachu, but not many would say it's their #1 favorite pokemon

[@_axetrax1]

mario is my favorite pokemon

[@turkoositerapsidi]

The gothitelle who is my friend is my favourite pokémon because he is great guy. No competition there. We have known each othe for a long, long, long time. Respect for him about everything. Especially about that one incident with Team Rocket long ago, but I will not talk about it now. But my favourite pokémon species is one of these: durant, koffing or cosmoem. I would say durant because I have one as a pet right now. Suchs a beautiful creature, and a really good guard ant, he loafs around a bit much tho. And if he dances to me, my bro and gothitelle we get no work done for a while. I got koffing too but she likes to be at the local landfill. She is cute, but not vety good indoors pet.

I do think you've got to keep in mind that this isn't people choosing THEIR FAVOURITE pokemon. It's basically which pokemon are consistently pleasing when compared against others. Chandelure might not be many people's top mon, and people might not even bother to get it into their team super often, but that's not the same as them going "yeah, that's pretty neat :)" when matched against others

[@coatimundi69]

it is fun to see! but i agree. it also doesnt help that regional variants are excluded. i can see excluding megas, but variants are basically brand new mons.

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

i do wanna mention as a stat kid some of the drawbacks of your polling method. 1.5 millions is a large sample size but theres also a few clear biases (in stat biases are just ways your polling method may lead to inaccurate results). first of all, theres a clear volunteer bias. only people who actively go out to find the site will be voting, meaning youre missing some key demographics such as casual pokemon fans who play the games or watch the show but dont go looking for pokemon media outside of that or on the internet, and younger kids who dont have access to the entire internet because of parental screen time restrictions. theres also definitely a slight response bias, aka a bias inserted by the way a question was posed. by doing a 'this or that' format you leave the ability for all sorts of errors, such as somebody not knowing one of the pokemon and thus actually just voting for which one is more well known, not more popular Id also like to question if those 1.6 million responses are individual people or individual answers to a single question. because if its 1.6 million answers, that can add a huge amount of bias as individual people have an outsized impact if they do it an outsized amount of times, which really can skew the data. none of this means your data or conclusions are wrong, but when running statistical analysis, its important to address possible sources of inaccuracy in your data.

[@XenithShadow]

From what i can tell an individualy needed to complete about 4000 comparisons to have sorted the pokemon from favourite to least favourite. As someone else mentioned 1.6 million total responssess in extremely lows as it means that most pokemon were only paired against another pokemon once so its heavily biased by who saw which pokemon.

[@eck3483]

In addition to the amount of votes, the amount of combinations vs the random pairings also seemed to skew the results. Assuming the bottom 20 are correct, the order between them seem incorrect. How many times has rellor been paired against watchog or kapsakid? It more feels like how many times a pokemon appeared as a choice vs a popular pokemon and wasn't picked. Also, assuming less voter bias, not all pokemon are popular or unpopular for their appearance. I hate rellor because it's impossible to evolve. Chandelur is not as great a design, it's just a good pokemon competitively (and a bit of bias), vaporeon is liked not because of it's appearance, but because of it's popular use in competitive pokemon. Same with umbreon, I have played against so many umbreons in gen 6 battle spot.

[@nateb6033]

Right? How they are paired is what I think could throw it off the most. If a mid range pokemon was often paired against a low range one, they would undoubtedly rank higher. All things aside, it would be nice to take the bottom 100 or bottom 150 and run this again to see the results, along with the top 50 and top 100. I'm sure the results would change quite drastically.

[@Anggitiggna]

Isn't become well known because it is popular? So if they don't know about certain pokemon and not choose it, it means that pokemon isn't popular, so it is fit right? Casual/non pokemon Player know about snorlax, it means Snorlax is popular

[@VBCGAMING]

Eh, true, but false

[@sam_bamalam]

I’m trying to get through this video, but I’m so stuck that the first part wasn’t about the method but just the website. Like, how were pairings chosen? How were Pokémon scored? It’s eating away at me

[@lerdog]

The pairings were chosen at random, don't know about the scores

[@crm7n]

i'm sad it was a "this or that" versus format rather than a "yes or no" individual question. as somebody who's only now getting into the newer gen games and media, i don't recognize some of the pokemon that made it into these lists, and i'm sure others in a similar boat could agree (i.e. people who are casual fans). the idea of choosing between two pokemon randomly paired against each other makes it so there might be large gaps and potential bias, like pikachu vs mr. mime.

[@amelialonelyfart8848]

@@crm7n It kinda confused me too tbh. It seems like it was based off Tom Scott's similar video on the most popular 'thing' he made awhile back which used the same format, which made sense because making he ranked like a million 'things', but for Pokemon, you could totally just do other metrics to rate popularity with its smaller scope.

[@frostyclouded]

@@crm7n why would it be yes or no questions? the point seems to be about preference more than just "do you know this pokémon" and while this method isn't perfect it seems much better suited for picking favourites than a binary yes or no would. even if you got two pokémon you didn't know you could still pick a favourite based off of design too

[@crm7n]

@@frostyclouded by "yes or no" i meant a format regarding "i like this pokemon" or "i don't like this pokemon". i think squaring off randomly selected ones creates bias or uneven matchups that don't exactly dictate your ACTUAL favourite pokemon, but rather the more favourable out of the two presented. like, how are the scores tallied from there? is it a case of just tallying whatever scores were given based on the random matchups, were those votes put against each other further and it became a "whoever comes out on top wins' type ordeal? i'm struggling to understand the methodology and how we got some fairly questionable top favourites

[@TheTheisson]

there is kind of a selection bias though. this is only among your viewers. you found out who is the most popular pokemon "among your viewers" not the world.

I'd actually be kinda cool if we could see in the list how many matchups a Pokémon won vs how many it lost. The amount of votes is actually kinda low compared to the amount of possible matchups. 1,608,153 looks like a lot of votes (because it is) but there are 1,050,625 possible matchups, meaning there are matchups that didn't even show up twice. So I'm kinda curious how much of a bias was introduced through that, how big the margin of error is.

the way this works is something called sequential pairwise voting-you only need to win against your DIRECT opponent to gain a point. in general, this WORKS with large spreads of candidates as any other method would be far too complicated, so this is actually a pretty accurate list for this size of candidates

I think only Fennekin line also does this, but I'm not rechecking) Most popular final evolution is Decidueye at 24 Least popular eeveelution is Flareon at 60 Least popular gen 1 pokemon is Kakuna at 953 Most popular gen 9 pokemon is Sprigatito at 56 Biggest glow up is Feebas (902) to Milotic (68) jumping a whole 834 places(milotic is my fav btw)(uncertain) Honorable mention to Tinkaton's line. Pokemon that age like milk (uncertain) was Grookey (289) evolving into Thwackey (927) moving down 683 places. Ironically Ducklett (657) is higher than Swanna(727)(that's what they get for encroaching on Milotics territory) Kleavor, Regieleki, and Persian are all tie breakers being chosen only 50% of the time I believe bug is the least popular type.

A little theory depending on why illumise and volbeat were separated by a few ranks. Depending on how many North American voters you had, Illumise is the regional exclusive of the duo on Pokemon Go.

Cascoon, and Basculin being so low kinda surprises me, Cascoon does more interesting things than Silcoon imo, and Basculin stands very well as an equal to Magicarp, especially with Basculegion. Gen 9 tried too much to push the ugly cute baby Pokémon, I think Capsakid and Flittle both fall into that. I think the eeveelutions being ranked so high isn't particularly surprising. They aren't particularly hateable, they are pretty simple and cute. Umbreon just has that edge to push it to the top.

Flittle is quite cute, cascoon is cute, but the real crime is that gothita was below simisear, cute little one, gothitas are so cute.

Pineco and forretress are so cute and cool pokémon. Why are they so low on the list too, lileep, cradily, koffing, durant, so cute, but the voters disrespected them. Atleast cosmoem is quite high on the list, and the sword ghosts, but they are swords so I am not surprised...

[@harry.t9523]

Is that really how they all ranked? I’m actually rather surprised. I actually thought Skelidirge would rank much higher. I thought they were the absolute best starter Pokémon in the series (essentially from having their Fire Bird). But at least I can take a little comfort in knowing that Samurott ranked above them. Since even though I initially thought Skelidirge was the absolute best, Samurott is still my absolute favourite in the entire series. I love that Samurai Otter! I also noticed that Meowscarada reached the top 100. I guess the Phantom Thief Grass Cat Magician won over a lot more people than I initially thought, including myself because I love Meowscarada as well. Though I also realised that people are NOT fond of Quaquaval. Which is actually really sad because I’ve seen some people absolutely detest that Pokémon, even though they’re one I actually have a soft spot for.

[@harry.t9523]

Also, I noticed that there appear to be 28 since you skipped 14.

When you're comparing so many Pokemon, a couple million votes is not enough data to have a clear vision on who is the most/least popular. You should've been more patient and done a much more thorough data pull.

[@dragooncroft]

I think it would've been more accurate to allow voters to freely pick their favorite 10 and least favorite 10. When taking the quiz, I dropped out around 10 minutes. I imagine others may have done this too, so they weren't exposed to more Pokemon.

[@dingola_]

The thing is, it would've need a lot more manual check and some ones probably would not even be mentioned at all (mostly midle stages) BUT it would be more accurate in my opinion.

[@beastvicious8672]

Favorite 10 makes sense. But least favorite wouldn't work becouse people's least favorite tend to be forgetable. So they wouldn't even be counted on people's lists. Many would probably put Charizard as least favorite becouse of it's popularity. Which wouldn't be accurate.

Sir, I think there's another reason why Vaporeon is up high

[@scarecrowsurprise]

I think what's cool about Pokémon in general is everyone has their own favourite. Mine has always been Sandslash, mainly because I think few other Pokémon actively personify that wild edge that Sandslash does, it looks like a wild creature that is perfectly adapted to dry areas, and its spiked design is awesome. Plus Pokémon Blue version was the first game I ever played back in the year 2000, and Sandslash became my ace after wiping the floor with Surge and then helping stomp; Koga, 90% of the Rockets, Blaine, Agatha and the rivals final team. That gen I combo of; Slash, Earthquake, Sword dance and body slam was lethal.
