tbqh I'm slightly annoyed that Jiggs is suddenly the "fairy" representative. That thing isn't even pure fairy! Sylveon is always shown to be the fairy rep.

Also heres a fun fact Game Freak's staff have noted Jigglypuff as both one of their and the public's favorite Pokémon, in terms of both anime and video game appearances. popularity like that just doesn't go away. especially in japan where Pokemon has consistently been a big thing. Its not a cool contest or i'd vote lucario any day, and i think that's what alot of folks here seem to be turning this discussion into..

Actually Jiggs hasn't appeared in the anime since Gen 3, and isn't even catchable in XY. With that said its current popularity is based on merchandise (which is also Lucario's other source of popularity, among other things).

The wiki itself is outdated.

The most recognizable outside of Gen 1 would either be Pichu or Mudkip. Lucario is however the most recognizable of the Gen 4 though.

And tonight's update?

Memes do not make a Pokemon popular.

With that said you are committing the "biased locality" popularity thing.

I'm curious how, exactly, Pokemon trended in Japan. In America it was amazing super huge and now it's sort of "middling kid's stuff" in the public imagination... most people probably don't even know it's still a thing.

Was it the same in Japan, only it never dropped so far? Was it even higher in Japan - same "drop" in size, but higher on the graph? Was it always neutral. I know they have that plane, and I'm pretty sure there was a theme park not too long ago. It must still be popular, but how does it compare to, say, Dragon Quest? Or One Piece? I'm sure a pretty fair number of American would recognize "Jigglypuff" - how many people in Japan would recognize "Purin?" How many would know "Lucario?"

It's tough speculating about a culture we have no real access to as far as immersion goes...

I reckon it was super popular but not fad status, since they still have the shit they have since Pokemon was conceived, from trains to planes. Hell, they still have Pokemon bread! And they keep adding stuff since then.

Idk, Mr. Mime is one of the more unique Pokemon and he could do good as a Pokemon.

Plus we might be able to get Lavender Town and all the other eerie Pokemon music.

 

[Benzychenz]

What was he like on the night of his reveal?

Spoiler

Thankfully he didn't go through with it

 

[Loco4Coco]

Every time someone brings up Digimon this is the first thing that I think about.

 

[Boomstick (Coffee Crazy)]

I do wonder what pokemon they would include. I haven't kept up with the series since gen 2, so I had literally no idea who lucario was going into brawl, and neither did any of my friends (none of us are really massive super hardcore game guys though). I wouldn't mind seeing a Mr. Mime in there similar to Gardevoir though.

As for character reveals, I think the ones that we have right now are pretty decent (I was shocked with how excited I was for Little Mac when he was revealed), but I'm pretty sure I would lose my shit if they revealed Isaac from Golden Sun or Llyod from ToS.

Spoiler

Also, if anyone has experience, can someone possibly put a wonder mask on my avatar? I would be eternally grateful.

 

[Kriken]

of course not, you're staying up for the update!

I got 4 hours of sleep yesterday, I'm just glad I have nothing important before noon tomorrow.

Also, it takes me about a week to accept that 3 AM is NOT 2 AM

 

[GiantBreadbug]

As far as Pokemon go, I'm of the opinion that it should definitely be Mewtwo + Gen5/6 Newcomer. I just can't identify a front runner for the latter. Still think Serena with Chespin, Braixen, and Greninja would be awesome, or Genesect/Zoroark. But I think the series just needs a new rep (in addition to Mewtwo).

But seriously, Jolteon is one true path and Espeon is the light in the darkness whom our army and leader shall turn to

 

[Clov]

Playable Sylveon would be great. Fairy types are the best!

 

[Babymario26]

I'd be ok if sylveon replaced jigg's

Spoiler

to bad it wont happen.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Best fairy rep would be togekiss if only because of the possibility Sakurai would incorporate Serene Grace and its insane hax with Togekiss

You're right, it's already been filled

Waiting for someone to bring up the Gardevoir fanart with all this fairy talk.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Thankfully it seems as though pokemon from the older games are favored so these terrible choices have little to no chance of actually making the game.

Well who else are you gonna think for gen 6 that isn't a megaevolution of a previous mon?

A trend that must be broken. Lucario is like Batman, the hero who shall break such chains!

You're right, it's already been filled

I actually wouldn't mind Xerneas being playable.

Lucas or Pokemon Trainer would be nice.
