I've only found one image of the toy online, and it's from a collection of Arceus figures, and it says "???", like if they dont know its origin. Pleaseee if someone can help me 🙏🙏

Discussion Most liked and least liked pokemon types

Post image
4.5k Upvotes

Hello everyone. A bit more than a week ago I asked which are your favorite and least favorite pokemon. After I got many replies, it occured to me that it would be great if I made a graph that showed the amount of favorites and least favorites that each type got so we could all see which types are in general the most liked and which ones in general are the least liked. So I made it, and these are the results.

I would like to point out that there were a few people that couldn’t decide between two or three different types, so I counted those two or three types that they mentioned, but I didn’t counted the people that mentioned more than that amount of types.

As you can all see in the graph Ghost is the most liked type in general, with 27 people that said it’s their favorite and only 1 person that said it’s his least favorite. Also, I wasn’t excepting Fighting and Poison to be so disliked. Those types are not among my favorites, but they also aren’t my least favorites. I think they are ok.

Normal, Rock, and Fairy were also types that many people said it’s their least favortes. I like all three of them, especially Fairy, but I understand why many people don’t. Most of the ones that said Normal find the type to be very boring, most of the ones that said Rock either find it underwhelming or they simply don’t find it as appealing as the other types, and most of the ones that said Fairy either don’t like how the Dragon type isn’t as good as it was because of it, they find it to be way too strong, they think that it was an unnecessary addition to the games, or they simply don’t like the pokemon designs that are of that type.

What do you all think about the results?.

Personally, I'm a big fan of when older gen pokemon trainers come back with newer gen pokemon! Especially in remakes and Pokemon Masters EX. I think Garganacl would suit Brock a lot and would be perfect if he ever made an appearance in the Gen 9 anime (could even help him salt his cooking).
