IGN:Top 10 pokemon

Here are the results of the top 10 pokemon as per reader poll results...

[Temporary_Name]

Great to see Charizard still on top after all these years!

btw notice how Dark_Charizard put his profile picture in the article... lol

[rezzah]

Still remember when the cards came out, Charzard was the rarest card. Also I think they said it was worth $50 during that time.

[MeatAbstract]

I had a Charizard as well. One of my proudest decks. And you know what happened? Someone stole it!

[Oldman100]

I remember when i got my Charizard. I flipped out when i got it. And i still have it. Are 1st gen pokemon cards still worth anything these days?

[rezzah]

^
Not sure, but I do know that you can find some who still play with pokemon cards.

If you wish to find out you'll have to look up the price tags of the cards through google.

Also shops that buy cards pay more IF they don't have more copies of the cards.

You'll probably want to keep a list of the price tags for each card worth $1 or more.

[FishCake9T4]

Wheres Grayamon? s/
TBH i didnt know who half of these were. After the first couple Of seasons it went gay. Blastiose still my fav.

[Led-Zeppelin]

At Oldman100, why would you want to sell your child hood memories? Some things are worth keeping.

[Misterhbk]

Really? The list is 60 percent legendaries. Mewtwo is awesome but I don't use legendaries at all.

Top 5 (as far as looks are concerned)
Charizard
Luxray
Infernape
Simisage
Electivire

[arjman]

Someone killed me for my Charizard, consequently I am the only active ghost on N4G

[schlanz]

If you don't feel like watching the video (or giving IGN a hit) here's the list:

Zekrom
Tyranitar
Zapdos
Rayquaze
Mew
Dragonite
Lugia
Blastoise
Mewtwo
Charizard

[warrior9988]

why not arbok

[rabidpancakeburglar]

Wondering if your joking because everyone watched arbok get its ass kick all around the place by a pikachu for years.

I was totally expecting zapdos but i think that squirtle should have gone in ahead of blastoise and mew should have been ahead of mewtwo

rezzah

I know but I think that mew is cooler, although obviously mewtwo is still awesome

[rezzah]

Mewtwo had all the buzz back then. I think people learnt about Mewtwo well before Mew based on the original anime.

[warrior9988]

his cool purple snake

[Kingdom Come]

My top 5:
- Hitmonlee
- Blastoise
- Lugia
- Mewtwo
- Machoke

[Pyscho_Mantis]

the best pokemon were the first two generations then it started to suck.

[Workshyskiver]

Blastoise all the way

[PygmelionHunter]

Blastoise!!!

[rezzah]

i find it interesting how the majority are from the original 151 pokemon.

Looks like no new pokemon will ever replace those who we grew up with.

[helghast102]

No, the real fans like Pokémon from all generations, if you looked at the comments when the votes first went live there was stupid amounts of people saying "HURR OLY VOTE FOR FIRST GEN DERP DERR"
Nobody gives the new guys a chance, and it's a shame really, because Gen 5 easily has the best designs imo

[rezzah]

That may be so based on personal opinions, same goes for me.

However I believe what the first generation has going for it is the impact of pokemon on children (which included me at the time). And like all things, the excitment and impact dies a little overtime, no matter how long it takes.

Example Digimon lost it's excitement a lot quicker than Pokemon, which in turn has not lost it's shine yet but may eventually be so a decade from now.

Who knows, things change unsuspectingly overtime.

[InLaLaLand]

Scyther was a bitch to catch in the Jungle. Blaziken.

[T3MPL3TON]

My current top 5

1.Torterra: The one I have has beaten every gym by himself and then 3 of the E4 (in Di-Per-Plat-HH and SS) by himself as well.

2.Samurott: He's the new Kyogre, imo.

3.Charizard: He's just boss.

4.Dragonite: He can take more hits than any other Pokemon I've seen.

5.Gengar: He's over looked but he can be a real pain if his user has trained him well and taught him good moves.

[helghast102]

I don't know how you can even say Kyogre and Samurott in the same sentence without giggling like a girl, Kyogre is vastly superior.

[T3MPL3TON]

My point is of the current Gen water types he's by far the strongest. He's even stronger than a good 45% of all past Gen Water Pokemon. The only other Pokemon to do that was Kyogre. It's, "I'm amazing just by existing."

[theone26]

Seriously Charizard runs Pokemon, it will always be the best, the most memorable character. I get psyched up everytime Ash uses him in battle.

[Kee]

1)Dragonite
2)Metagross
3)Blaziken
4)Lugia
5)Vaporeon

[Oldman100]

Missingno is the best pokemon. It helps you get unlimited items. :p

[Rob946]

My top 5 not in order
Lugia
Lucario
Charzard
Typhlosion
Maybe Rayquaza if not him then Mewtwo or some1

[Led-Zeppelin]

Thank god Pikachu isn't #1. I hate Pikachu so much, that stupid little mouse gets all the attention, its lame.

[NaiNaiNai]

Mudkip?

[PlayerX]

No Gengar?

[looza]

Seriously? Snorlax isn't in any of your list?

[Relientk77]

Really?

So basically wat they did is pick legendary pokemon and really strong and tough pokemon and theres the list

and wtf wheres Articuno?

[RyuCloudStrife]

hes the best
