Everyone has a favorite Pokémon. That's the premise behind a poll that aims to find out not just the popular Pokémon of each generation, but also which creature is the overall favorite. While polling is still going on, there's already a clear winner after hundreds of thousands of votes have been cast.

Other long-time favorites from later generations, like Lucario, Sylveon, and Absol, are in the Top 10 but also didn't take the #1 spot. Honestly, we were all a bit taken aback by which Pokémon actually did manage to snag the most votes.
