Board 8 Ranks the Pokemon: Top 100

After close to 2 years, Board 8 Ranks Pokemon finally made it to its original final destination: ranking 100 Pokemon that were at the top of the Gen 1-6 rankings.

Steiner hosted this ranking. Board 8 users sent lists to him that ranked the eligible Pokemon from #1 to #100, with #1 being that user's favorite Pokemon and so on. Steiner added up the lists to create a master list that hopefully gave a good idea of Board 8's taste in Pokemon. See here for more details on the project.

Here is Steiner's opening statement for the revelation of the rankings:

"Over the past few years, Board 8 has ranked every single generation of Pokemon individually and we threw those results together, took an appropriate proportion for each generation, and created a list of Board 8's top 100 Pokemon that way. And in the first part of this topic, we'll get to see why that was a terribly flawed idea! Welcome to Part 1 of the rankings, which the illustrious panel of judges has had a month to prepare their lists for and I've spent the weekend making the spreadsheet for (slowly. it shouldn't have taken me that long. I was hungover.)

Before we go any further, I'd like to throw a big shoutout and thank you to our panel of 51 people, the most entrants of the now 4 editions of this project I have ran.

[participants]

special ANTI SHOUTOUTS to Bane of Despair and swordz9, as the only two people to make spelling errors in their submissions this time around. Bane had a relatively harmless Scoliopede that wouldn't have affected anything even if I missed it, but swordz dropped a massive clanger of a Zerneas that could have ruined everything. GREAT WORK, SWORDZ9."

Steiner started posting the rankings on June 26, 2016.

Steiner's Spreadsheet
Steiner is putting all of the data into a spreadsheet, along with other interesting data such as number of spot on rankings for each user, solo highest rankings, and so on.

OrangeCrush: Swagodile's got that Jagger swagger going on.

StifledSilence: Life before the pressures of wearing shades.

FBike1: The Sandile line is a waste of three Pokémon.

ctesjbuvf: Very cool basic form. Great in the anime, which helps it a bit, but it's still a tad too simple perhaps.

Natwaf_akidna: Who knew an NFE trash sand gator could look so adorable? Not the best NFE gator though. Still, I'll enver forget my first legitimate Shiny

Inviso: It's adorable, but its evolutions are both better.

Johnbobb: https://45.media.tumblr.com/9e42ca0982fbb28c5499de387821658b/tumblr_o0urmdR0Yq1sz111so1_540.gif

swirldude: A small sand gator.

NFUN: Boring.
