Smogon Community - View Single Post - All Gens The Most Dominant Pokemon in History - #9-10 Position Debate

Alright, folks, I figured I'd kick off a new discussion for us :3

I thought it would be fun to figure out what Pokemon did the most to shape the RBY, GSC, ADV, and DPP metas. A top 10 list of sorts, where we as a community could vote in those Pokemon that really stand the test of time. First gen Pokemon will likely carry the most weight here, as they've had the most opportunities to define metagames. That doesn't mean that Pokemon from later generations can't be included, however~

OP

Current list:

1) Snorlax
2) Tyranitar
3) Zapdos
4) Gengar
5) Starmie
6) Skarmory
7) Suicune
8) Celebi
9)
10)

That doesn't mean that Pokemon from later generations can't be included, however~ OP To start things off, we'll want a pool of Pokemon to choose from. We'll kick this off with a nomination stage. If there's a Pokemon that you feel has been among the most dominant in history, you can nominate them here. Don't just say "Snorlax" and call it a day, though. I wanna see some reasoning behind these nominations. If something is already nominated, there's no need to nominate it further; it'll be added to the pool. Once we have a good variety to work with, we can get into the nitty gritty of just which of these are best :P For now, let the nominations begin ^.^ Current list: 1) Snorlax 2) Tyranitar 3) Zapdos 4) Gengar 5) Starmie 6) Skarmory 7) Suicune 8) Celebi 9) 10) __________________ ^.^ Last edited by Jellicent; Feb 25th, 2013 at 10:12:15 PM.
