This was probably the most reliable one for the most popular Pokemon. There's also another poll (Pokemon Asia My Favorite Award) but it is only for Asia though, at least worth mentioning.

If you have any other sources which you think should be added, then sure comment. Please don't suggest "x is popular because it's my favorite" type of comments.

Comments

Add "comments like 'x is my favourite too' are frowned upon".

Hasn't there been this poll for 2021 yet? Also, would you mind adding the text requesting others not to comment unnecessarily on the answer, just like mentioned in the comments above?

---

@Aaaaaaaaa if you google "Pokemon of the Year 2021" it only shows up the "Pokemon Asia My Favorite Award" thing which I have already mentioned so there hasn't been one worldwide, no. And yes I did the edit sooner or later to your comment.

---

Oh cool. Yeah I typed in my comment but didn't click Add comment, and Destiny had already commented and you had already edited by the time I posted it lmao.

---

There was voting for 2021 but only on the Japanese site. This answer is outdated.

---

I think if the poll hasn't been conducted globally then the answer still stands?

The question is which is more wrong - Global 2020 or Japanese 2021?

---

Can you link the Japanese site? @Cristal Myabach
I couldn't find it in Google.

E: Do you mean this one? https://sg.portal-pokemon.com/special/award_asia_2021_result/

---

The Japanese 2021 list is newer and it'd count, in my opinion, and more than a million people voted for it anyways.

---

The voting in Pokemon of the Year 2020 was more than that of the 2021 (source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Day#Pok.C3.A9mon_of_the_Year_2) and because the 2020 one was worlwide unlike the 2021 one being held in Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam only, which is why I think it should count instead.

---

Where does it say that the amount of votes was more in 2020 than 2021? While that is possible because the latter was held worldwide in a much more accessible manner, a newer, fresher list would be obviously better. Users from *across the world* could participate through Twitter. And I'm not talking about the Asia event, the 2021 voting was exclusive to Japan (and Twitter.)
