Ever since my Poliwhirl founded team ribbit I have wanted to do a team ribbit play through but there are only 2 frog Pokémon in SV and I was wondering which game had the most frogs to use.
I only own a switch 1 so please tell me the game and if it is not on switch also say the froggiest Pokémon game on switch aswell.
Thank you!

Reigonal Dex specifically:

Red, Blue, Yellow have only Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, so 6.

Gold, Silver, and, Crystal have Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed, so 4.

Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald had the entire Poliwag line, but you have to trade to get them in Ruby and Sapphire, and you can't get them before the national dex in Emerald. So technically 4, but not really.

FireRed and LeafGreen have Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Politoed, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, so 7.

Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum have Croagunk, Toxicroak, Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed. So 6.

HeartGold and SoulSilver have the exact same as Diamond, Pearl, Platinum. So 6.

Black, White, Black 2, White 2 have Tympole, Palpitoad, and Seismitoad. They have 3 each.

And then comes X and Y. Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Froakie, Frogadier, Greninja, Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Politoed. 10!

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are robbed of frogs just like their predecessors. 0.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon have Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Politoed. That's 4. Plus Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Froakie, Frogadier, Greninja can be gotten through Island Scan in the Ultra games. So it could 10, but only in the Ultra games.

Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee have Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath. 6.

Sword and Shield have Tympole, Palpitoad, and Seismitoad. 3.
But with the DLC, Sword and Shield have Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Politoed, Croagunk, Toxicroak, Tympole, Palpitoad, Seismitoad. 9.

Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Politoed, Croagunk, Toxicroak. 6.

Legends: Arceus has Croagunk and Toxicroak. Only 2.

Scarlet and Violet have Croagunk, Toxicroak, Tadbulb, Bellibolt. 4.
But with the DLC, they have Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Politoed, Froakie, Frogadier, Greninja. So 14 total.

Legends Z-A has Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur, Froakie, Frogadier, Greninja. 6

The highest Switch game frog count is... Drumroll, please: Scarlet and Violet w/Teal Mask & Indigo Disk DLC. With 14 total frog Pokemon and 6 fully evolved frogs. But without DLC, it's Z-A, BDSP, and Let's Go.

The highest total frog count game before the Switch, is X and Y or Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, with 10 frogs, and 4 fully evolved ones.

Fair, but even so, XY would still be better becuase of the fact that your starter is a frog and the second starter is also a frog. Plus, island scan can be very annoying, but I will add them.
Oh no, I wasn't saying it's better than XY, I agree XY would be better, but I was just mentioning in case someone else wanted to play through USUM with frogs for some reason.
Yeah, I know, I was just saying that as a general fact.
So I SHOULD do sv but only with dlc. Got it!
U are truly a great addition to team ribbit
Thank you, glorious leader!
