Board 8 Ranks Generation VII Pokemon

This is the 9th ranking of Board 8 Ranks Pokemon, which Steiner has hosted since the Gen 5 rankings.

In addition to the completely new Pokemon introduced in Gen 7, we ranked the Alola forms which Pokemon Sun Moon introudced for a total of 99 Pokemon. Board 8 users sent lists to Steiner that ranked these Pokemon from #1 to #99, 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.

Steiner started posting the rankings on June 19, 2017.

Steiner's Spreadsheet
Steiner added everyone's rankings into a spreadsheet as each Pokemon was revealed. He also made functions that can automatically calculate things such as number of spot on rankings for each user, solo highest rankings, and so on.

Brayze_II: STUFFING YOUR FACE AS USUAL

Paratroopa1: where did all the hamburger helper go

Inviso: So not only does it ruin the sleek look of Persian, but its makes it weaker and turns it into a generic Dark-type in the gen already featuring Rattata/Raticate. Smart.

Ermine: Hi Garfield

Luster Soldier: Definitely worse than regular Persian because the head looks rather fat. Despite the fat head, Alolan Persian is only slightly heavier than regular Persian (72.8 lbs vs. 70.5 lbs).

StifledSilence: When emo edgy Meowth decides to eat ten bags of chicken nuggets instead of write poetry in a dark corner.

MrSmartGuy: I hate mondays.

Raka_Putra: Weird face cat.

Drakeryn: "Idiocy will always increase over time until the idiocy in the area is equal to that of earth." - meisnewbie's Second Law of Idiocy

profDEADPOOL: Dumb cheeks are dumb

Cybat: Well, Persian, I guess that will teach you not to steal Wonka's Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum before he finishes testing it.

swordz9: Garfield universe reject

XIII: Just laughably poor design. Not sure if that was intentional or not, but come on.

mnkboy907: This is last just on principle. I cannot sanction GameFreak's buffoonery.

ctes: This is it. This is the absolute worst thing they ever created. It is actually impressive how such a small change can make this so bad, but it is. It's completely awful. I was split on what to rank at the bottom between three things, but then I looked at the other two candidates where one has a single thing going for it and the other at least doesn't look like an arrogant jerk. Alolan Persian takes bottom placement. They tried here and failed so miserably.
