Hi! Matthais Unidostres here! I just wanted to take a moment to bring something up. Something very important to anyone and everyone who loves Pokemon.
It's Google's Pokemon of the Year contest!
By logging into your Google Account and searching "Pokemon Vote" on Google, you will shown a special ballet box where you can vote for your favorite Pokemon for each of the 8 Generations. The voting began on February 5th and will end on February 14th, and the 8 winners will be announced on February 27th, the anniversary of Pokemon Red and Green's Japanese release in 1996. Everyone can vote once in each category each day, which means 8 votes a day until the 14th. Then, when all is said and done, we will have definitive proof of which Pokemon truly are the best of them all!
So, I think it's only fair that I share the 8 Pokemon that I'm voting for!
Gen 1: Eevee
One of the cutest Pokemon of all time, plus there are those 8 Eeveelutions, meaning that by voting for Eevee, it's like I'm voting for 9 Pokemon at once!
Gen 2: Umbreon
I know I already voted for Eevee, but none of the other Gen 2 Pokemon appeal to me. Umbreon is really cool and sleek and has great black and gold colors; all while still being cute.
Gen 3: Absol
Gen 3 had some really good Pokemon, but I couldn't possible pick anyone but Absol. If any Pokemon deserves love, it's Absol for how hard they work warning people of disasters, even if it means taking the blame. Their scythe-like horns are powerful, and their pure white fur is awesome. Don't forget Mega Absol!
Gen 4: Lucario
THIS ONE WAS SO HARD! I love Buneary, Leafeon, Grovyle, Luxio, Luxray, Buizel, Garchomp. . .
So, yeah, I picked Lucario for his sheer popularity and staying power in the series. Plus, he had a movie. . .and is in Smash.
Gen 5: Keldeo
Big surprise, I know. But if Kyurem vs the Sword of Justice never existed, then I probably would've picked Zoroark. Zebstrika's cool too.
Gen 6: Braixen
Braixen has the most personality in my opinion. Not much to say here, Kalos was kinda bland.
Gen 7: POPPLIO!
I was going to pick Primarina, but after ALLLLL that hate Popplio received, it would be wrong to not vote for it. Popplio EARNED all of our votes with all the hate it had to deal with. It would be no less than poetic justice for Popplio to be the most popular Pokemon in Alola. If Popplio doesn't win, I'm gonna be furious, and so will Keldeo and everyone else on Keldeo the Critic! I'm dead serious, mark my words! You all better go and vote for Popplio EVERY DAY!
Gen 8: Scorbunny
I did like many of Galar's Pokemon. Wooloo is adorable when it rolls around, Corviknight is so cool, Flapple is fun, Poltegeist is clever, and Alcremie is so sweet and hug-able and has an incredible Gigantamax form. But, all in all, I just love Scorbunny. He's the perfect mix between cute and tough. It's a spunky little fighter that's always on the move. I love my Scorbunny Aiden so much that I never evolved him, and never will (I'll get another one via trade and evolve that one to fill out my Pokedex).
So. . .what do you think? Can any of my choices win? I'm confident on Absol, Lucario, and Eevee to have the best shot, but we'll see. I've hear rumors that Bulbasaur is gonna be the Gen 1 winner. . .but we'll just have to wait and see.
So, go ahead! Go to Google and vote already! Make sure the vote everyday! This is an important event in the history of this franchise! HURRY! GO NOW! VOTE FOR POPPLIO ALREADY!
