Original Story (Wed 26th Feb, 2020 10:00 GMT): Earlier this month, Google opened up a 'Pokémon of the Year' voting form which had fans of the series declaring their favourite monsters from each and every generation. Votes closed on Valentine's Day, and it looks like we're finally about to find out who won.
The Pokémon Company has set up a YouTube premiere for tomorrow, 27th February, which just so happens to be Pokémon Day. The show starts at 2pm GMT (so that's 6am ET / 9am PT / 3pm CET), and you'll be able to watch it live right here on this very page.
Have any predictions? Feel free to post who you'd like to win - and who you think might win - for each of the generations in the comments below.

Cradily god.
Better win.
We will see if my coordinated effort of Russian bots successfully placed BIDOOF to the number 1 spot we all know it deserves!
Oh, bloody hell. I never read the conditions (so I didn't vote).
I thought it was a year-long event.
I would've voted:
Gen 1: Jynx
Gen 2: Dunsparce/Porygon2
Gen 3: Gorebyss
Gen 4: Manaphy
Gen 5: Vanilluxe
Gen 6: Dedenne
Gen 7: Blacephalon
Gen 8: Appletun
Would be nice if those Pokemon get added into SWSH (if they arent already in)
Big chance that Charizard will win Gen 1 or maybe Mewto.
Don’t really care about who wins though, I’m sure people will be mad regardless of outcome. Looking towards the results.
Let me guess:
Kanto: Charizard
Johto: Tyrannitar
Hoenn: Rayquaza
Sinnoh: Lucario
Unova: Krookodile
Kalos: Greninja
Alola: Lycanrock
Galar: Cinderace
See you tomorrow!
If it's not Snom, we riot
Rise up, Clamperl Gang
i better see ball guy!
It is either Pikachu, Eevee, Mewtwo or Charizard for Kanto.
You already KNOW who's taking the Gen 7 spot. You're reading their comment.
I dont care all I care about are Slowpoke, Machamp, Incineroar, Ditto ame Psyduck
No Mewtwo, Pikachu or Eevee? LOL seems like Game Freak's got their marketing all wrong.
Really? Really?! Right in the title? Oh Google, you have so much to learn about clickbaiting on your own video platform.
Blue basculin is not #1, WHAT?!?!?!
Boooooring, such an obvious pick.
I thought that they were going to announce the winners of each generation too, instead of a top ten across all generations.
Imagine if any of the Porygon-line made it to the top 10 they would only have footage of Porygon through a banned episode only in Japanese lol.
RIP my dunsparce votes
Never mind Swinub, I still love you.
My boy Sylveon at #6! I'll take it!
No Meloetta in this top...?
Oh well...
Huh... Really? Wouldn't expect so many gen 3s. Though, I really wanted Exploud to be there out of that one, followed by Seviper.
0/10 no snom very bad.
Maybe next year, Luxray!
@inenai Hopefully this result actually gets them to realize that Kanto isn't the only Pokemon region that exists.
"Greninja, Lucario"
And that's why you allow only 1 vote, not once per day.
Dewgong did not make the top 10, but you could see him in the background during the charizard nostalgia reel!
I COUNT THAT AS A WIN.
Wooo, my boy mimikyu made it and Gengar too.
@DaCh33f
Yes Dunsparce!! ❤️
Umbreo... Is that an Umbreon with a tail? 😉
Arcanine not even in the top 10!? Fury Swipes the air and Stomps off crying Waterfall
I feel like this is one of those things that's for the kids, I couldn't really be bothered to care about this but I am sure I would have been all over it in middle school.
My beloved Dragonite didn't make it
I know Smash has more than enough gen 1 representation, but a Pokemon like Gengar really should be considered for a fighter. A ghost-type as a fighter would really be different and unique for the series.
@inenai I dont think this is a testament to TPC's "poor marketing choices". Mascots and MCs are rarely the top pick of character polls if the supporting cast is interesting and diverse enough.
That said, two of the eight Eevee-lutions made it on the Top 10, beating out 800+ other Pokemon. If we rolled with your point, TPC made a good bet making Eevee a second mascot.
Satisfied that Charizard isn't in the top 3 and my favorite, Rayquaza, is on the list.
Happy to see that Greninja, my favorite gen 6 starter is in the top.
Mimikyu? Popular vote is based
Who the fk voted Mimikyu
If you listen closely you can hear the angry typing of those that take polls like this too seriously
Hell yeah, let's go greninja
That list sucked. Gengar should have been number 1.
It's official.
Gardevoir is more popular then Gengar.
Please mass produce Gardevoir merchandise now and buff Gardevoir in the games.
Give her Quiver Dance, Fire Blast, and Psystrike, and change Synchronize to Psychic Surge.
Greninja is not a surprising win. I am glad it isn’t Charizard, Pikachu, or Mewtwo personally.
My favorite starter ever! I'm not surprised most people appreciate Greninja. Ash Greninja helped him to win for sure.
I'm betting more people like Gardevoir over Gengar for... art reasons.
Not the list I'd have gone with, but I have no strong objections.
Gengar made the list!!!
What no Leafeon?
Yeah, it’s really strange 3 of the top 4 are Smash characters, isn’t it?
