February 27 was when the original Pokémon Red and Green Game Boy games went on sale back in 1996, and so the date is now known as Pokémon Day.
From February 6 to 14, fans were allowed to vote online once per day through their Google account, and the results were revealed on Pokémon Day, with a video showing the top 10.
When the 6,608,215 votes were tallied, the Pokémon of the Year, with 140,599 votes, is ninja frog Greninja!
Also surprisingly low in the rankings: Eevee, who finished 20th overall.
If the voters were primarily fans of the Pokémon games, as opposed to the anime, it would explain why cuteness didn’t carry the day for Pikachu.
