The Top Ten

1 Charizard Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I disagree with this list. I'm happy with the way things are now. - Pokemonfan10

He's the face of the Trading Card games easily, anyone remember the high fetch price for the 1st Edition Charizard card from the first set?

He should only be the mascot assuming if Pikachu stops being marketable. - VioletParr89

That would be cool and make sense.

The dragon ( Though not Dragon type ) himself!

2 Eevee Eevee Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Yes. This pokémon is cute and cool, so if Pikachu ever retired then Eevee could do just as well.

nope - Pokemonfan10

Ok but it has too many evolutions now.

We need a cute little furry friend that evolves into cool things, not a squealing little yellow rat

3 Pidgeotto

Yeah pidgeotto is a cool dude, definitely deserves it more than these gay ass eevees and chazirards

He is a underappreciated Pokemon - LoboMaloso

4 Blastoise Blastoise Blastoise, known in Japan as Kamex, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

WHY - Dragoniterocks

5 Ditto Ditto Ditto, known in Japan as Metamon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Super duper weird dude that can transform. Normal form looks like candy. I went to niagra on the lake today.

6 Psyduck Psyduck

You guys know this is junichi masudas favourite pokemon right

Lame Pokemon but very funny - LoboMaloso

7 Togepi Togepi Togepi, known in Japan as Togepy, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

It would be funny to see ash with a togepi and it doesn't really fit in the anime then because pikachu is a mouse and meowth a cat so an egg vs a cat. The cat will win -.-

It way more cute than picachu

8 Vulpix Vulpix Vulpix, known in Japan as Rokon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Who doesn't love vulpix? Vul! Vulpix!

Cute, strong, and energetic! I would really like to see how the story would change if this little sexy creature was Ash's partner.

9 Mew Mew Mew is one of the fictional species of creatures from Nintendo's and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise created by Satoshi Tajiri.

Mew is so adorable

Hell yes! New rocks!

One of the most iconic Pokemon and a great way to potrait Pokemon

I meant mew

10 Arceus Arceus Arceus is a legendary Pokémon from the Pókemon series. He first appeared in the 18th Pokémon movie alongside other Legendary Pokémon.

I hate arceus

I am the guy who wrote that charizard would be really damn bad and I wanna say he would be great since he is God of Pokemon

Arceus is the god of Pokemon. That should surely be the face of the Pokemon franchise right?

The god of Pokemon. Enough said.

11 Lucario Lucario Lucario is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Lucario first appeared as a central character in the film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and later appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and subsequent sequels, also appearing ...read more.

Should be #3 or #4 (but not as an outright Pikachu replacement, but as the official secondary mascot for the latter Generations! )

Lucario is pretty much the de-facto mascot for Gen IV, which is why he's been in Smash for 3 games now (same goes for Charizard, and Mewtwo).

If we we to go by ranking on Mascots by generations:

Pikachu (worldwide mascot, basically the Mario of the series, nothing can ever replace him, except for more Pika clones).

Jigglypuff (was originally intended to be the secondary mascot in the anime and the games before being phased out in favor of Meowth (in the anime at least due to being an annoying pest), and Charizard).

Charizard (is pretty much secondary mascot in the series, very popular worldwide, if Pika stops becoming Pokemon's mascot, Zard should take his place, but that's only if Pokemon stops being marketable).

Mewtwo (pretty much the Bowser/Ganondorf of the Pokemon world, despite not owning up to that legacy, ...more - VioletParr89

Lucario is a very good spirted pokemon he should have been

It's a popular Pokemon.

12 Zigzagoon Zigzagoon Zigzagoon, known in Japan as Jiguzaguma, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
13 Clefairy Clefairy

I LOVE CLEFAIRY - leepee

HISTORY LESSON! Did you know Ash was supposed to have a Clefairy? Then all this attention would go to Clefairy

They should gone with the first thought. I mean, I'd be halarious to see ash with a clefairy

14 Bulbasaur Bulbasaur Bulbasaur, known in Japan as Fushigidane, is the first Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

He IS technically recorded as the first Pokemon in the Pokedex. Eh, at least he's the mascot of Bulbapedia. - ModernSpongeBobSucks

It's the starter nobody likes sooo

Evee's awesome

15 Rhydon

First ever Pokemon designed so why not?

Well, he was the first Pokemon ever

First pocket monster

Aww u guys stole my thing! I wanted to say it was first Pokemon!

16 Magneton Magneton Magneton, known in Japan as Rarecoil, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

18 Meowth Meowth Meowth is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Meowth first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. In addition, it was one of the Pokémon to get an Alolan variant.

22 Ursaring Ursaring

No just no

23 Celebi Celebi Celebi, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
24 Mewtwo Mewtwo Mewtwo is a fictional creature from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. It was created by Dr. Fuji in an attempt to clone Mew.

Mewtwo isn't technically a Pokemon since it was created in a lab so I don't think it would be a good mascot, don't get me wrong though Mewtwo is awesome

Why would mewtwo be number 1 Pokemon he's evil in most games

It's me tinned to be "The Strongest Pokémon" until Arceus came. Still, he will always be one of the strongest Pokémon out there. Therefore, he would be a good symbol to Pokémon, that's why I voted this item. Now enough talk.

Mewto sounds like a great idea. Mewto is the REAL God/Godess of Pokemon.

25 Jigglypuff Jigglypuff Jigglypuff, known in Japan as Purin, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

No. - DinoLover4242
