After the success of our Favourite Starter Pokémon Poll 2024, I wanted to conduct a much larger experiment to determine which Pokémon is the fans’ favourite. Between May 17th and July 31st, 2025, Johto Times will run a poll for each Pokémon generation, from Kanto to Paldea, and invite Pokémon fans to cast their vote on their favourites!
Participants can vote for their six favourite Pokémon in each poll.
Each poll will run for ten weeks, between May 17th and July 31st, 2025.
In August 2025 we will reveal the results of each poll, and the top ten Pokémon from each will move through to the grand final, which will take place later that month.
Please spread the word and tell your friends!
Update: August 14th, 2025: This page has been updated to include information about the Grand Final, and a link to the Johto Times website with results for the preliminary vote have taken place. Please update your bookmarks. We will update this page once more to confirm the results of the Grand Final in October 2025.
Update: August 13th, 2025: This page has been updated to confirm the preliminary results of the poll tomorrow. Please return then for further information.
Update: July 31st: Voting is now closed! Thank you to everyone who cast their votes. Please stay tuned to Johto Times to discover the results of the first part of this poll, ahead of our grand final, which will take place in August.
Update: June 16th (Special thanks): Since the poll began, it has been widely shared on social media, and on various Pokémon fansites. This update recognises and thanks Duspey, PokeCommunity, Bulbagarden, and Bulbapedia for their help and support in helping the poll reach over 200,000 votes (and counting). I am immensely grateful!
Update: May 22nd (Clarification): Pokémon which are tied jointly within the top ten will progress to the grand final. For example, if by the end of the poll, two Pokémon have the same number of votes in tenth position, both of these Pokémon will progress through to the grand final.
Come back to this page later, or subscribe to be one of the first to see the results. You can also get updates on the poll via our Discord server and Bluesky. This page will be updated in the future with the full results of each poll, including the grand final.

Will you guys be publishing how many votes each Pokémon got? I'd be pretty interested to see how many votes some of the less popular Pokémon get.
Come on guys, all gens are cool, you just gotta give the mon's a better chance
