Debuting in Japan in 1996 as Pocket Monsters Red and Green and reaching Western shores by 1998 as Pokémon Red and Blue, this role-playing series about catching creatures with fabulous powers and then making them beat each other up quickly became a pop culture sensation, and it has enjoyed a level of success unmatched by any other video game franchise before or since. For this countdown, we’ve ranked all 151 original entries in the Kanto Pokédex based on their abilities in battle, rareness, easiness to catch, and their popularity in the gaming world and beyond. We’re basing our assessments on their stats and abilities in those original games, so any increases or decreases in power they may have suffered in future instalments will not be taken into account. Here are All 151 1st Gen Pokémon Ranked From WORST To BEST.
