More than 52,000 people voted for their favorite Pokémon in a massive online survey, but a few got 0 votes. These are the Pokémon that nobody likes.

A survey asking more than 50,000 Reddit users on r/Pokemon to choose their favorite Pokmon has produced some impressive results.

After more than 20 years, there are now more than 800 different Pokmon to keep track of. Fans have shown that they care about each and every one of them, but some are certainly more popular than others.

A recent survey on r/Pokemon asked more than 52,000 Reddit users to pick their favorite Pokmon, and every single Pokmon had at least one vote except for four. Each Pokmon had an average of 65 votes, and even the most-liked Pokmon was chosen by only 2% of the respondents with 1,107 votes.

So what happened with those four? What makes them so unlikable? I pulled out my own PokDex and tried to figure out why these four Pokmon were the internet's least favorite. (Be sure to check out the original Reddit thread if you want to see the full survey results , which also sorts Pokmon based on their types and what games they debuted in.)

Silcoon and Cascoon are two inherently boring Pokmon introduced in "Pokmon Ruby & Sapphire." Those games introduced more than 135 new Pokmon, many of which were designed to replace some of the more common wild Pokmon in the first two Pokmon games.

Silcoon and Cascoon are clearly derivative of two other cocoon-shaped Pokmon, Metapod and Kakuna, who are just as useless. They both evolve from from Wurmple and can't learn any moves besides "harden" until they evolve into Beautifly or Dustox.

But hey, at least Cascoon got two votes poor Silcoon got none.

Can you believe that this goth Pokmon debuted in "Pokmon Black?" If you don't get the joke yet, Gothita's design is based on Japan's gothic Lolita fashion trend, a movement that's obsessed with dark colors and Victorian clothing.

Unfortunately, the joke probably doesn't land as well outside of Japan, and Gothita is not nearly as cool as its evolutions, Gothorita and Gothitelle.

Also introduced in "Pokmon Black and White," Eelektrik is the middle evolution between Tynamo and Eelektross. Unfortunately, it seems like it's just too ugly for anyone to love. Eelektross managed to bring home 49 votes and tiny Tynamo has 6, but the middle child is losing out.

Maybe it's just because it has no arms, but Eelektrik sort of just looks like it sucks.

I'm honestly surprised that Yungoos didn't have a single vote in the online poll. Though the Pokmon is modeled after Asia's Javan mongoose, Yungoos's blonde streak of hair led many people to compare the Pokmon to President Donald Trump.

While Trump is a polarizing figure, I figured the association would have led some fans to latch onto the new Pokmon, who was introduced in 2017's "Pokmon Sun and Moon." Gumshoos did manage to earn four votes, but it won't be winning any elections any time soon.
