So there’s some pretty big elections happening in 2016 — the US Presidential race, the EU Referendum here in the UK — but the people of Japan have also just face a difficult decision. The Pokemon Company polled citizen on their favourite Pokemon, and received over half a million votes.
And who won? Pikachu, right? 
No? Ok, maybe Squirtle then?
Not him either? Maybe a shiny Charizard?
No. It was actually Greninja.
WTF?
Yeah, it's a random choice. It's a Water/Dark-type Pokemon that first appeared in Pokemon X and Y, and is the final form of Froakie and Frogaider. How the hell it beat the O.G. classics, we don't know. It's a travesty. Bulbasaur was robbed. Pikachu didn't make the top three!
Here's the top 20:
1. Greninja
2. Arceus
3. Mew
4. Pikachu
5. Sylveon
6. Genesect
7. Rayquaza
8. Zygarde (50% form shown)
9. Charizard
10. Meloetta (Aria form shown)
11. Mewtwo
12. Eevee
13. Jirachi
14. Darkrai
15. Lucario
16. Diancie
17. Hoopa
18. Keldeo
19. Victini
20. Manaphy
