Gen 1 Pokemon Tier List

Originally launching in the U.S. in 1998, Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow have been a big part of our lives for almost our entire lives. But which ones have the best vibes?
For this list, we're ranking all of the original Kanto Pokedex based on how cool they look, their personality traits, how great they are in the video game, and whatever other criteria makes sense to us in the moment. These are all the Pokemon that matter, ranked from WORST to BEST.
Agree or disagree? Send us an email to info@sheahateseverything.com!
