Clearly the answer is Suicune.
Although Pikachu will probably win, if not Charizard. |

I thin Pikachu will still it, since its been the "mascot" since forever, but would love it if its the newer pokemon. Starters are a good second. Now if Ho-oh wins, that'll make my day. That pokemon doesn't get any love.

I hope Pikachu wins. Pokemon Yellow was my favorite game out of them all!

Pikachu will win since he is the most popular. Charizard kicks Pikachu's ass any day of the week, though.
Who doesn't give Ho-oh love? Ho-oh is one the top Pokemon in battling, even with a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock. One of the last things I want to come across in a battle is a Ho-oh under Sun - especially one with Regenerator. Anyone who knows anything about battling gives Ho-oh tons of love, it's just in the form of respect and fear. |

Mainly it doesn't get love from the anime like the other legendaries do. Even the roaming pokemon Suicune and Co. get more love than Ho-oh does. Ho-oh doesn't even get a major role in the movies. That's just cruel.

The anime does treat Ho-oh like throwaway. I've always been shocked that he didn't get a movie, or at least show up in some manner in Pokemon 2000 with Lugia and the trio.
Raikou also gets shafted since Suicune and Entei have their own movies and he has a few cameos. No, Pokemon Chronicles doesn't count. At the same time, though, the anime has always been a little whack, so it's not that shocking. "Finish him off with False Swipe!" "Aerial Ace missed!?" "Aim for the horn!" |

Very true. I would be happy with a few cameos at the very least. I feel like the anime is "punishing" him for whatever crazy reason, but glad the game is giving him love. I thought Stealth Rock would be the end, but glad it can hold its own.

I don't know why but I feel like Rayquaza should win, but he doesn't seem like the type of pokemon to advertise.

Heh, you can see the character designs get worse and worse as the years go on.

More like, the designs are getting more intricate, away from the simpler styles we remember from our nostalgia. Personally, I really like the new designs. They're quite creative indeed. :'3 Whatever the case is, I just really hope Pikachu doesn't win the election. That would make my day. |

I kinda hope Pikachu doesn't win if not just because of the massive amount of event Pikachus there have been already. Lets get a special Lugia or something?

I'd be happy with most of these, but I really want Lizardon to win. Hitokage is #1 on my Pokemon wish list. Pikachu at least I could probably get from a friend with a generation IV game. Besides, it's not an uncommon Pokemon, where as starters and legendaries are obviously quite rare. I really hope the Japanese fans don't waste their vote on it when this would be a golden opportunity to get something far less obtainable, but I'm worried that Pikachu's fame alone will be enough to get it the win.
