These are the strongest Pokemon from Generation 1’s Kanto region.
But which of these tier list runners-up should rightfully see a little more respect among their adorably violent counterparts?
But you know what they don’t have?
A name pun as perfect as Squirtle.
Totodile is basically a dinosaur, and dinosaurs are cool by default.
So it’s understandable why Chikorita is sometimes overlooked in the Johto games, albeit unfairly so.
7Torchic
Generation 3
Let’s face it.
So naturally, players would probably gravitate toward Mudkip or the grass-throw in Treecko.
Pokemon types are arguably one of the most interesting aspects of the games.
Today, we’ll check out the most useful pop in combinations there are.
Don’t get things mixed up, though.
Torchic is still beloved, and why wouldn’t it be?
Look at those eyes.
Sure, it also evolves into the heavy hitter Blaziken, but those cute little eyes, though.
Yes, that’s important.
Beyond Roark, though, Chimchar is a great choice, especially with the grass-based Gardenia up next.
Plus, it’s worth sticking around to evolve into Infernape.
But remember, everyone deserves love for who they are, not who they can become.
Just like Pikachu, or raw cookie dough.
But somehow, Tepig still tends to get left behind in the eyes of some fans.
Snivy and Oshawott are understandably beloved on their own, with vibes for days.
So when Pokemon Sun and Moon brought players to Alola, they got… a seal with clown vibes.
it’s possible for you to see where fan reactions to Popplio may have come from in this case.
Rowlet and Litten didn’t help matters with their irresistibly cute designs.
But Popplio is just so darn enthusiastic that it’s infectious.
2Sobble
Generation 8
Alas, poor Sobble.
Assemble the best party to tackle the main story in Pokemon Sword & Shield.
Pokemon Sword and Shield didn’t exactly have the most memorable other starters with Grookey and Scorbunny.
But Sobble still never really had a chance with many fans.
It’s a shame, because it absolutely oozes charisma once it evolves into Inteleon.
We’ve all got to start somewhere.
(Mostly because Fuecoco would eat them.)
But Quaxly still comes up a bit short, and mainly because somebody has to.
If nothing else, it’s always nice to have a new hair fashion inspiration.
Pokemon’s Paldea region is filled with interesting and engaging places.
Here are the best locations in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet!
