WEW. Pretty sure most of Empoleon's "fanart" is due to to Piplup anyway, like the case here >>32788766

>>32789070
The biggest percentage of art for almost all the starters is of their first form. It's usually where big differences in numbers come from, like the 2000 extra pictures the Rowlet line has over the Litten and Popplio lines is purely from Rowlet. With final forms, Primarina has like a dozen more than Decidueye. Piplup line's numbers are almost all Piplup. Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon didn't have as a big a difference between them.

Most mid stages are almost irrelevant, with generally like 70~150 pictures. The only ones I remember with a large amount were Quilava and Braixen.

>21. Torterra line (1040)

>>32789046
>Gen 1 Fire
Charizard is the most iconic mon bar Pikachu so no surprise

>Gen 2 Fire
Despote the Yellowman meme and bein terrible all around, Phlosion is still a highly popular mon. I'm actually surprised Feraligatr doesn't have more fanart.

>Gen 3 Fire
I actually am surprised ny the low ammount of fanart Sceptile has considering all those people calling it there "bro".

>Gen Water
Piplup, nuff said. Empoleon is badass, but no one beats Piplup. It's a baby penguin, you actually have to be braindead to think that it won't be popular.
>Fire that low
Ow

>Gen 5 Grass
Like Piplup, Snivy is the culprit. I'm not even hinding it, I myself liked Snivy more then Serperior at one point.

>Gen 6 Fire
No surpise, Braixen's popularity is undeniable.

>Gen 7 Grass
No surprise here either, this board can push the nu-male meme as much as they want alongside that one falseflagger, but that thing's popularity is also undeniable (it made it in Pokken, what's there to question?)

>>32789169
Actually no, I take the last one back, Deci's large ammount of fanart is also most likely because of Rowlet.

Threads dying, so I decided to also see how much art the pseudo-legendaries have. First I just looked up their final forms, since pseudo's earlier forms aren't really marketed like starter's are.

1. Dragonite (2315)
2. Garchomp (2140)
3. Hydreigon (1994)
4. Goodra (1420)
5. Salamence (1243)
6. Tyranitar (1025)
7. Metagross (905)
8. Kommo-o (69)

But then I saw that the Dratini and Goomy lines have some interesting stuff going on, so here's the entire lines and chart to compare it all.

1. Dratini line (4100)
2. Goomy line (3107)
3. Deino line (2809)
4. Gible line (2546)
5. Larvitar line (1601)
6. Bagon line (1484)
7. Beldum line (1119)
8. Jangmo-o line (115)

>>32789614
Do Starters Final Stages. With all the talk on how /vp/ considers them the worst thing ever, I want to see how many are already behind the Gen 7 ones after just a few months.

>With all the talk on how /vp/ considers them the worst thing ever
I think it's just a really vocal minority, at least according to this poll so far. I think more time should pass anyway. The alola starters have only been around for less than a year, so they've only surpassed a few starters so far anyway.

>>32788365
Can you post some? Coincidentally, Serperior and Charizard are my favorite starters.

they'll probably get a lot of art with the remakes, right?

If their designs get retconned to be more palatable to normies and fanartists, then yes.

>>32789933
I'm curious, though. Did the Gen 3 starters get a big boost on Pixiv with the remakes? I imagine at least their megas helped a lot with that.

>>32789913
hardest to draw

>>32789943
Incineroar is still really new, you can't really compare it to the others. Delphox has more than I imagined, though.

>>32789943
>It went down again with Incineroar
Give it more time, it hasn't even been a year yet. The other fire starters have already been around for a while.

>>32789827
this makes me happy as a Gen V starterfag
shame about Emboar though

>>32789949
Greninja also has a design that is arguably just as difficult to draw as the Sinnoh starters, except people actually like Greninja's design.

No. None of the nips i've seen know or like Tiger Mask. It's literally only sugimori strocking his dick to the shitty cat. It's ugly, unpopular and useless in competitive. Hopefully it drops to 21 soon.

>>32789995
Incineroar has my least favorite design of the starters dumbass, saying that it'll get more fanart as time goes on is just basic fucking logic.

now do it with deviantart

>>32789995
That's fine, I just think other Fire Starters are ugly as well anon.

Alright, but only with final stages. It seems like the search brings up some unrelated stuff, like they mention the Pokemon in the description or it's part of the artist's name, but I don't see an advance search so whatever, it probably won't affect much.

1. Charizard (112,099)
2. Typhlosion (32,848)
3. Blaziken (27,774)
4. Blastoise (21,395)
5. Serperior (19,909)

6. Greninja (19,082)
7. Venusaur (17,134)
8. Swampert (14,478)
9. Sceptile (13,620)
10. Feraligatr (13,315)

11. Infernape (13,188)
12. Delphox (11,802)
13. Empoleon (10,395)
14. Meganium (9,769)
15. Samurott (9,473)

16. Torterra (7,970)
17. Primarina (6,471)
18. Emboar (6,261)
19. Decidueye (3,977)
20. Chesnaught (3,735)
21. Incineroar (3,247)

I cut the cart down because Charizard's numbers are so ridiculously higher than the others, even compared to the Pixiv numbers.

Kind of seems like western artists have been as productive these last couple generation, looking at how low even Greninja's numbers are compared to the Gen II and III starters.
Samurott seems to be less popular in west, while Blastoise and Feraligatr are a lot more popular.
Chesnaught's numbers are just sad.

It's just a freeware version of Microsoft Excel. If you have Excel on your computer you can make these.

Here's a similarly cut down version of the Pixiv numbers, to get a closer look at the ones that aren't Charizard.

But yeah I agree, Torterra is pretty good. Still wondering why that one faggot spammed the board full of "how shit" it is when there's starters that deserve the bashing like Emboar, Chesnaught and Incineroar.

Not surprised. It was our first samurai-themed pocket monster. And Jap's would appreciate what it's trying to represent compared to the west.

Well no, but the more popular a Pokemon is the higher chance someone who is an artist actually likes it and is willing to draw it.
