For avid Pokémon enthusiasts curious about the most unpopular Pokémon, the search is over. Recent data compiled from fan votes has identified one Pokémon that stands out as the least favored among the collection. With a staggering number of Pokémon in existence, determining the most and least liked entries is a complex endeavor, but the findings are quite revealing.
Spanning across nine generations, Pokémon enthusiasts have over 1,000 unique Pokémon to explore when deciding on their favorites. This extensive roster inevitably leaves some Pokémon underappreciated, yet almost every character has its own fan base. However, one particular Pokémon has garnered less admiration than others.
Rellor: The Most Unpopular Pokémon
The Least Liked of All
According to research conducted by Thomas Game Docs, Rellor has been crowned the title holder of the most unpopular Pokémon. This research involved a custom-built voting system where fans ranked 1,025 Pokémon, based on unique Pokédex entries. The project’s comprehensive nature allowed for a comparison of voting results with older metrics drawn from Google search volumes.
Ultimately, the bottom tier of Pokémon displayed a mix of peculiar designs and generally unremarkable traits, with examples like Cascoon and ‘The Diapered Pokémon’ being notable mentions. Rellor, identified as ‘The Rolling Pokémon’ and inspired by dung beetles, landed at the very bottom of this ranking.
Reasons for the Dislike of Rellor
Characteristics Contributing to Rellor’s Unpopularity
Thomas suggests several factors contributing to Rellor’s lack of popularity: its design inspired by dung beetles, a lack of distinct characteristics to differentiate it from other bug-types, and its introduction in Generation 9, a controversial period for Pokémon due to the release of the Scarlet and Violet games. These newer Pokémon might not have had time to build strong fan connections, even if a few Gen 9 Pokémon have found favor among players.
Furthermore, Rellor is often perceived as unremarkable. While other bug-types have succeeded mainly through innovative designs, many resemble one another, leading to an overall lack of memorability. With numerous beetle-like variants, Rellor’s late-entry status in the Pokémon universe further diminishes its appeal, casting it as more forgettable than actively disliked. Why would fans choose to vote for a Pokémon that fails to leave an impression?
Understanding Rellor’s Unpopularity
Simply Overlooked and Forgotten
The findings surrounding Rellor are not particularly shocking. Many Pokémon ranked within the bottom 20 lack significant fan engagement rather than inciting controversy. Pokémon that divide opinions often have passionate advocates on both sides, while the least popular Pokémon languish unremarkably on the sidelines. In a robust fandom featuring more than 1,000 unique creatures, it’s inevitable that some would be relegated to the bottom tier.
Among a saturated category of bug-types, Rellor fails to stand out. The sheer variety of Bug-types likely leads to general disinterest, particularly since many players tend to shy away from this category altogether. Additionally, Rellor doesn’t possess any unique competitive advantages; most bug-types are typically weak against multiple other categories.
Ultimately, Rellor’s position as the least popular Pokémon is regrettable, but hardly surprising. Following Rellor, the second least favored is Bruxish, whose vibrant design and classification as the Hawaiian state fish have not spared it from being overshadowed by a multitude of aquatic creatures. It appears that fans are craving freshness in their Pokédex selections.
