A Pokemon analysis of 75,000 fans

Which is your favourite Pokemon? This blogger hasn’t kept up with the long-running series and still has a few of the classic little monsters he rates highly.

As a rule, Pokemon is a rabbit hole, too!

I first noticed that geeky retailer MenKind is taking pre-orders on this year’s Pokemon trading card advent calendar. Yes, it contains some booster packs and trading cards.

Then I noticed you could get the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet 151 Elite trainer box and the even more dangerous Ultra Premium Collection.

Popular Pokemon according to 75,000 fans

That’s when Guide Strats hit me up with their analysis of 75,302 profiles from the Pokemon fan site Serebii.

The result is some pretty infographics and some punchy tables.
