Camerupt may not be the best Pokemon in the Hoenn region by any stretch of the imagination, but it certainly earned itself a fair amount of popularity.

Camerupt's popularity may stem from the anime, where it was featured in several episodes. It is also one of the few Pokemon to have received a Mega Evolution before Mega Evolutions were lost and forgotten in future games.

Camerupt may also be popular because Team Magma's leader, Maxie, iconically uses one.


#2 - Vulpix

Vulpix's adorable design as well as its evolution Ninetales' graceful and regal design already occupy a soft spot in the hearts of fans.

Add in a slew of status moves, some decent speed and some alright special attack, and we have a Pokemon that is both useful in battle and aesthetically pleasing.


#1 - Blaziken

Blaziken isn't just the most popular Fire-type Pokemon in Hoenn; it's one of the most popular Fire-types of all time.

Blaziken is a mixed attacker with solid moves and a cool aesthetic. There's little question as to why Blaziken ended up being as popular as it is.

As the first of the Fire-Fighting starter triads to be introduced, Blaziken didn't receive any of the negative reactions that its legacy wrought. It gets to simply exist as a solid starter.
