which one.

Obviously this isn't about the actually popular Pokemon like Pikachu, the starters, Eevee and lutions, or the psuedo legends, the legends, etc.

This is about the random ass Pokes that are more popular than ppl realize.

Maybe even forget Gen 1 Pokemon. Gen 2 is where you can start getting pretty obscure. B4 the evo, Stantler was a bit of a nobody, but Sneasel was probably decently popular b4 Weavile

But ain't nobody buying a Makuhita plush. When was the last time somebody was considering buying a Gigalith poster?

I'm dumb but is this basically asking what Pokemon we think is underrated in terms of marketing?

Maybe something cutesy that no one talks about like Pumpkaboo?

The problem is probably drawing the line between "obviously popular" and "surprisingly popular", and at the same time "is popular in the community" and "actually sells merch".

We have the obvious ones like Pikachu, starters, Guardevoir and Lucario, the Eevees, Gengar, legendary and mythics and so on, but when are we drawing the line?

Is Dragonite "obviously popular", and Ninetails "surprisingly popular"? Are they actually selling stuff? And that's just Gen 1, there are other examples for other gens too.

How popular is Heracross, and how is it's stuff selling?

Yeah the distinction is that the Pokemon is popular, and it sells a lot of merch, but literally nobody talks about this Pokemon or are aware of its popularity

I just don't wanna count Gen 1, cuz Pokemon was so stupidly popular back then, and there are a lot of genwunners even now. I feel most most Gen 1 Pokemon sells decent merch.

I can see Pumpkaboo being popular though, especially around Halloween.

Also I used to be a big fan of Nosepass, cuz Roxanne used him, and my pre-evo Mudkip had trouble getting past him

Is the answer going to be something that absolutely every knows is popular, like Lucario?

I think Goomy could maybe fit the topic criteria.

Ill also mention, in the crane games in Japan, they often have weird pokemon as prizes. They had Chingling and Pyukumuku recently. Plus, the Pokemon Centers usually have a plush for every pokemon.

Yeah Pyukumuku I've seen get some good merch push. I swear I saw one of those retractable thumbs up thing.

Yeah Snom is an obvious one. I feel like people do talk about Snom though

was rowlet ever a merch seller? It certainly has merch but probably isnt popular enough to be well known in mainstream.

Same goes for Oshawatt and Piplup I think.

I want like a little roggenrolla figure. Bonus points if it's like a subwoofer. With Loudred speakers! That'd be neat.
