I can't get on the site right now...but, despite popular belief, the first five I did see weren't all Gen I and Gen II...Gabite and Glaceon made it.
 
I'm already pissed from reading the comments on their board. I can't access the results for some reason, though.

I knew it would be crappy from the beginning though.
 
To me it looks like the Pokemon are randomized. Braviary is my favorite new Pokemon, so I think it should be higher. And Deoxys is my second favorite Legendary so it should be higher. And whats with Gabite? Why is that thing there?
 
I'm kinda scared to see how Gen.V is gonna fare.

Out of the first 20, the only Gen.5 Pokemon there is Braviary, which is already one of the most popular Pokemon in Gen.5.
 
Deoxys got beat by freaking Electabuzz(who even beat out its evo) WTF!

This is more then likely going to be filled with a shit load of Gen I Pokemon thanks to those fans who are like "ZOMG TEH 151 POKEMANZ ARE TEH BEST EVA AND ALL THE OTHER ONES SUCKZZZ LULZ!"
 
Where are the other 80?

They've only done the first 20 or so today, the following days they'll do the next 20 and so forth.

And thats how it looks so far, no doubt Gen 1 Pokemon will win overall. I like the first gen best overall, but there are a ton of Pokemon from other generations I like more than certain first gen Pokemon.

My money is on Charizard for the #1 spot.
 
I didn't even know there was a pokemon called Deoxys. Stupid limited giveaway events that don't happen anywhere near where I live
Amazing they knew about those limited events but somehow didn't know about Deoxys.

Oh and I refuse to reload that page 100 times to see the whole list.
 
I still haven't seen the rest of the list, so its too early for me to judge it.
Blech, the comments below are effed' with nostalgic fans of the original 151 pokemons.

But I guess, Charizard, Mewtwo, Blaziken would hit Top 10, or maybe even top 3.
 
What about Pikachu? I'm sure it's going to be high in the list.

So true.. XD
 
I like the list so far. I can't believe Pikachu has been mentioned yet though. I hope a Snivy evolution gets on there too.
 
They're not listing them by strength, but by design obviously. This isn't a competition of the strongest or best to use in battle.
 
I'm sorry, but what the heck is Meganum doing on this list?

Deoxys's placement makes a lot of sense. Its popular and powerful, but a lot of players never had the chance to use one since its strictly been an event pokemon so far.

I think Infernape should be a little higher.

As a person who's been a fan since the beginning I don't have a problem with Gen 1 pokemon, but there are pokemon that came after them that are just as good. But i do think the top spots are going to be dominated by the gen 1's.
 
Hmm... I could make guesses about what 'mons will be in the top positions, but I'll save it. And as someone who appreciates almost all of the species in some way or another, I can't really complain about the choices that are already on the list. I can only hope that the favorites of mine that I haven't seen yet will show up as they progress through the list.

I can see where Electabuzz beating out Electivire came from - many people have better memory of it, and for a while, I liked its design better. It's a matter of personal preference. And I can at least note that I didn't expect to see Rhydon on the list - Braviary and Ghastly are minor surprises, as well. They're definitely welcome additions, just unexpected.
