SW Votes: Best Pokemon of all time? (Charizard Dominates)

There are now 719 Pokemon.That's a lot of them, really- and contrary to what most people will tell you, they've continued to be largely cool over the years (though each new bunch does have a fair few stinkers). This edition of System Wars Votes is going to focus on what the best Pokemon of all time is. Not Pokemon the games- Pokemon the creatures. What is the best one of all time?

With 719 of them, how do you even decide? Well, it's simple. We're going to use the System Wars Votes format, again. That said, because we have such a massive pool this time, we're going to change the rules a little, so make sure you pay attention:

• You can vote for up to five Pokemon at a time. Make sure your votes are in order, with your most favorite Pokemon being the one listed first. This is because the point distribution will be weighted based on individual rankings. The first Pokemon in any vote will be awarded 100 points. The second Pokemon is given 80 points. The third Pokemon is given 60 points. The fourth Pokemon is given 40 points. The fifth Pokemon gets 20 points.
• Make sure you vote for at least three Pokemon. Entries with less than three votes will be disqualified from the final tally.
• Do not list more than five Pokemon. If you do, all votes beyond the first five will be discarded.
• All 719 Pokemon are eligible.
• Formes and shinies are not counted as separate Pokemon. What this means is, it does not matter whether you vote for Origin Giratina or Shiny Charizard, those votes go towards Giratina and Charizard regardless.
• Mega evolutions do not qualify.
• You will have until May 9, 11.59pm Central Time to get your votes in. That's a lot of time, so make sure you get your voice heard!
• Don't vote for the same Pokemon more than once. I really shouldn't have to explain this one, but I am doing it pre-emptively anyway.

Okay, all that's pretty simple. Ready? Cool. I'll start with my own votes:

1. Pikachu
2. Charizard
3. Gyarados
4. Blaziken
5. Lucario

4. Mr. Mime

I'm going to count this as your vote, is that okay?

Dragonite

Weavile

Arcanine

lol! I was a huge peliper fan back in the sapphire/ruby days. Dunno why it just made me smile to think about a pelican destroying everything in its path. But Snorlax is king.

@charizard1605: Well I thought about it and :

1. Machamp (dem gains)

2. Snorlax

3. Mankey

4. Eevee

5. Magikarp

Love snorlax, hard to choose between it and machamp for me.

5. Zekrom

Mewtwo 4 life

@charizard1605-

Cool thread! It's cool to think back to when I was a kid back in the day with the original Pokemon... My favs are:

1. Gyarados
2. Onyx
3. Blastoise
4. Alakazam
5. Kingler

1. Dragonite
2. Groudon
3. Zoroark
4. Greninja
5. Eevee

A lot of my favorite pokemon are apparently purple. And Ditto is on there at least twice. Who made that picture? Pretty cool. Missing the newer ones though.

I really wanted to ask more questions. Are we voting for our personal favorites, pokemon that we think define the series and the monsters overall, or the 'best' pokemon? The OT wasn't too clear on that.

Anyway, I'll try to go with kind of a mish-mash of the three:

1. Ditto: If I had a pokemon, I think I would want a Ditto. It is Pokemon DNA and can transform into pretty much anything and use its powers. And it's just cool.

2. Pikachu: The face of the Pokemon series, Pikachu manages to be cute and cool at the same time. It helps that it is also a decent pokemon in a fight.

3. Mewtwo: One of the most powerful pokemon, with an interesting backstory and is a pretty much polar-opposite to Pikachu.

4. Arceus: The Pokemon God, arguably important to the creation of the other Pokemon and unique in the way it can harness the power of the tablets.

5. Squirtle: My first pokemon, and still one of my favorites. It was tough choosing #5, but I get sick of Charizard hogging all of the glory!

1. Mewtwo
2. Charizard
3. Haunter
4. Snorlax
5. Raichu

Salamence

Mudkip

Lapras

Gardevoir

Kangaskhan

P.S. Charizard and Pikachu are extremely overrated and overuse.

Mewtwo

Blastoise

Logia

Groudon

Ryquaza or something. (forgot that arses name. was such a pain in the arse to beat.)

and this is a GD topic. -_-

also something for the op

How is a topic like this SW related but what i posted last night about FF15 and SE's discussion on what the fans thought about the game is not? if a mod create the thread its all good right?

there are so many pokemons i dont remember all their names so

• 1- Blastoise
• 2-Lugia

P.S: i need a mod to tell me how listing pokemon names is related to SW?

@Basinboy: That was funny as hell bro

1. Munchlax
2. Snorlax
3. Bulbasaur
4. Blaziken
5. Blastoise

Blastoise

Mewtwo

Gengar

I can't believe anyone actually voted for balziken. He looks stupid as hell.

1. Charizard
2. Mewtwo
3. Mr. Mine (not really, just chose him because of the minimum requirement, but a useful card nevertheless.)

I still play the Pokemon TC video game every now and then.

1. Pikachu
2. Blaziken
3. Charizard1605
4. Gengar
5. Emolga (so cute)

1. Charizard
2. Garchomp
3. Gengar
4. Lucario
5. Electivire

What about Togepi, guys? He's pretty cool.

Exclusively to rile up Char; if only more Digimon resembled Pokemon.

The mods really should never be allowed to stop a thread for "that's not System Wars material", because that's exactly what this shit is lol

1. Gengar
2. Greninja
3. Charizard
4. Dragonite
5. Snorlax
