Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players vote on favorite characters

This month’s issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream contains the results of a popularity survey for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, with fans asked to vote on their favorite characters. We have the results for the top twenty.

74.7 percent of voters were actually female, 19.9 percent were male, and 5.4 identified as other. Those between the ages of 26 to 30 percent made up 23.3 of voters, followed by 21 to 25 at 20.9 percent, 31 to 35 at 19.8 percent, 16 to 20 at 17 percent, 15 and below at 11.4 percent, and 7.6 percent other.

Kieran managed to top the poll with over 2,000 votes. This may be a bit surprising given how the character is featured in the DLC rather than the main game. The player character ranks fifth with 934 votes.
