We’re still fresh into 2020 but those that are enjoying the likes of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield along with the anime series may already have their favorite Pokemon this year. With Pokemon Day held just yesterday where we not only got plenty of social media posts about the franchise but an introduction to a brand new Pokemon known as Zarude, the Pokemon Company held a poll.
The poll was to determine which Pokemon is the most popular at the moment. After hundreds of thousands of votes, we finally have a winner. The people have spoken and the most popular Pokemon character today goes to Greninja, which is the last evolution from Froakie. Froakie was introduced in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y which apparently is making a big impact still to this day. Luckily, we didn’t just get the final top Pokemon result, instead, we know the top five Pokemon that was voted on which you can check out below.
