As a reminder, all of the Pokemon in this popularity poll were ones that you can catch in Paldea. GameWith also provided user explanations for the top 10 Pokemon. Most people voted for who they used in their party when they beat their story. Others chose Pokemon like Clodsire or Tinkaton because they’re cute. Lucario is the only Pokemon who received votes specifically because of the anime. It was one of the stars in the 2005 film, Pokemon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch. The DLC expansion, Indigo Disk, is also in the eShop.
