I will liste the packaging compatibility information for all the main series Pokémon games for GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. Please be note that I do not have any manuals for the GameBoy, GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance series Pokémon games and I do not have Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon yet. So I will update this from time to time while I can. Also, there are information differences between the edited version of this article parts and the actual versions of the packaging back parts like the Black version of Pokémon and stuff. Anyway, enjoy.

30. Hitmonlee - It may surprise you that i'm starting off my list with Hitmonlee and not Meowth, but i was thinking in my head which Pokemon should be POP figures next and Hitmonlee came to mind.
29. Meowth - Now that iv'e talked about wanting to see a Hitmonlee POP figure, now i can talk about the other one who should be a POP figure.
28. Rhydon - Along with Hitmonlee, Rhydon is another Pokemon i believe should be a POP figure. I would totally buy one if they made one.
27., 26., and 25. Totodile, Chikorita, and Cyndaquil - Hey if they have figures of the Kanto starters, then there's no reason can't be any for the Johto starters, am i right?
24. Sandile - It wouldn't be a top 30 list without mentioning at least one generation five Pokemon and what better Pokemon to make a POP figure of than Sandlile.
23., 22., and 21. - Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon - Just like the Johto starter trio, the Eevee evolution trio of Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon is another trio i want to see POP figures of.
20. Snorlax - Let's be honest here; who wouldn't want a POP figure of Snorlax? I know i would!
19. Sandslash - Just like the afermentioned Rhydon and Sandile, Sandslash is another Ground type i would love to see a POP Funko figure of.
18. Electabuzz - Just like Jolteon, Electabuzz is another Pokemon who should be a Funko POP figure if it isn't already.
17., 16., and 15. Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos - Come on now. Did you really think i would forget about the Legendary bird trio of Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos? No but seriously there should be POP Funko figures of these three.
14. Flygon - Okay so maybe this one is wishful thinking but that won't stop me from wanting to see a Funko POP figure of Flygon.
13. Scyther - Finally a bug type Pokemon on my list that should be a Funko POP figure. I would love to see this underrated fan favorite be a Funko POP figure.
12. Alakazam - Along with the afermentioned Hitmonlee and Rhydon, i would love to see a POP Funko figure of Alakazam.
11. Tangela - Who wouldn't want a Funko POP figure of this walking pile of blue spaghetti? I know i would.
10. Kangaskhan - Just like Snorlax, Kangaskhan is another Normal type who should be a POP Funko figure.
9. Lapras - I was going to have Ampharos take the number 9 spot, but i couldn't resist putting Lapras in the number 9 spot instead.
8. Mimikyu - Hey if Pikachu can be a Funko POP figure then there's no reason Mimikyu can't be one either.
7. Ampharos - I might as well get this over with and say i would love to see a Funko POP figure of this yellow giraffe.
6. Ninetales - Along with Cyndaquil, Flareon, and Moltres, Ninetales is another fire type Pokemon i feel is worthy of being a Funko POP figure
5. Gengar - Along with Mimikyu, Gengar is another Ghost type who should be a Funko POP figure if it isn't already.
4. Jigglypuff - Who wouldn't want a Funko POP figure of this pink rotund Pokemon? I know i'd buy one in a heartbeat if they made one.
