Hello Pokémon fans!

Darren here from Johto Times. I am making a post here to bring attention to the Johto Times Favourite Pokémon Poll 2025 edition. The goal is to reach as many Pokémon fans as possible, and determine which Pokémon is the fans’ favourite. Between May 17th and July 31st, 2025, Johto Times will run a poll for each Pokémon generation, from Kanto to Paldea, and invite Pokémon fans to cast their vote on their favourites!

• Participants can vote for their six favourite Pokémon in each poll.

• Each poll will run for ten weeks, between May 17th and July 31st, 2025.

• In August 2025 we will reveal the results of each poll, and the top ten Pokémon from each will move through to the grand final, which will take place later that month.

• Please spread the word and tell your friends!

Update: 22nd May (Clarification): Pokémon which are tied jointly within the top ten will progress to the grand final. For example, if by the end of the poll, two Pokémon have the same number of votes in tenth position, both of these Pokémon will progress through to the grand final.

Full details and updates will be available on this link moving forward, please bookmark it for future reference:

I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and discussion around which Pokémon you will be voting for, or which Pokémon characters you think will win!

That's quite an undertaking, but I am excited who will win. I already voted some of my favourites.

Thank you! Yes, I was unsure if I should even attempt it, because if the poll doesn't reach far, the results won't give an accurate view. Thankfully, voting is going beyond expectations at the moment, and if the pace of this keeps up, we are going to see some really clear results and insight into which Pokémon people love!

I got my votes in! Some of those were really tough to narrow down to just 6 favorites!!

Yeah it's probably not easy for a lot of people. I know some people voted too quickly and overlooked some of their favourites too. I think they need to carefully consider them!

That's great news! Do you have a particular goal you're aiming for before sharing the results? ☺️

Hey!

So, the final date to submit your votes is July 31st, 2025. After that, the votes will be countered and verified, and then shared. The top ten of each region will go through to a grand final in August. More details will be shared then.

I will update this thread once that time comes.
