Asking which Pokémon is someone’s favorite is an ideal ice breaker. Intriguing too, because will you answer it based on its looks, its combat potential, or even something else? There are lots of ways to approach this difficult question, and personally I think it would be almost too difficult to pick just one favorite Pokémon from the 720 species available. Still, this is what Nintendo is asking of Japanese fans in a poll that started on April 16th, and the winning Pokémon will get distributed to the 3DS games in a promotional event for the 19th Pokémon film: Volcanion and the Mechanical Magearna. The only Pokémon who cannot be voted for is Volcanion, because it will already be distributed alongside the movie.

They have revealed the current top 100, and it’s interesting to see that the Pokémon currently leading the poll is not a legendary, nor a Gen 1 starter. No, for now, the top spot belongs to Greninja. However, this doesn’t mean he will end up as the victor, because the poll is still running until May 8th. Unfortunately, only Japanese people will be able to cast their votes, since this can only be done physically at Japanese Pokémon Center Stores and Toys “R” Us stores, or via 3DS by connecting it to 7-Spot Wi-Fi, which is only available at Japanese 7-11 stores.

Please don’t let that stop you from telling us who your favorite Pokémon is in the comments though, and if you want to see the full top 100, you can take a look at the gallery below!
