gotta kiss 'em all, poodiemon

Aargh. Tried embedding these 7, but of course embed codes don't work. -_- 

full-size roundup ` 1d

Ranking is a tad easier when narrowed to one of the bazillion possible subcategories of pokemon...but still outrageously difficult. In '22 I tried to place the stickers in a roughly general favorites-ish order, the main trouble of course being a) you can't move 'em once they're stuck, and b) starting with Zeraora, not all of the most recent mons were included. So I hadda also just list out my top 40-75% of each gen anyway. And then do the third image to account for all the other forms and everything. o_O 

10/2/26: All right, fine, I added a few for the Horizons peeps. Two being practically the same just 'cuz I realized that in the first I'd been slightly inconsistent with the pics used. `-`  `.`  `~`  `^`  Folder's up to 11 now. Only took 136 episodes for me to start feeling a little more attached to HZ. Shocker of shocks, the (ex-)villains are once again my faves. The pairs of them feel like a bone thrown to us Team Rocket lovers. I especially like Indi and Rubina, and they have probably the best designs in the whole thing too. They're like shiny Kabuki+Pharaoh Furfroux gijinkas or personas or something. xD There must be some reason we didn't see them at the end of the finale. Anyway, hope we haven't seen the last of any of the Explorers folks, even though the show's moved on to side-game silliness (might see some Unite holowear at least?), and G10 will probably do something different anime-wise. Spinel's gotta do his time, sure, though it'd be nice to see him making up with Umbreon in the end. Everybody else, c'mon, let them participate in the contests and whatnot! That'd be so much more fun than just the main kids. At this point there's no way we'll see Ashime-exclusive people in the rest of its time, but might as well make the most of what you've got within HZ?

Assuming G10 gets a sticker book including all (and I do mean all) its own pkmn...hopefully it'd also have all forms of everypoke that has multiple, and everybody who's missing from my combo G1-8+G9 books. Alas the "Epic" one was published afterward and has all the missing ones+additional forms, but it's also got no g10 and repeats the majority of g1-9. =p If G10 got a book that again had the entire dex, that could be 1325 (not even counting the forms.)* Epic book appears to do 8 outlines to a page, but of course you'd ignore those and put 'em in your chosen order. BUT it'd still be 166 pages. Would go by region, just having to rank the remaining 25-60% of each one for after the 40-75% done.
Baffling af. So much missing from g8 & 9, and it actually seems to begin with Zeraora. Pokemon, regional forms/evolutions, other forms...fucking garbage.
*Rumors of it having an unprecedented 300 new pkmn, holy shit. That'd be like g1+g5 combined. Exciting yet concerning--especially given all those 'national dex'-type issues they've had lately. Probably the overall trend would continue toward smaller, and also more spaced-out, gens--buuut the 10th one, kinda almost coinciding as closely as they were able to manage with the 30th anniversary...guess that could be a special exception.
