I don't really know but Gardevoir does have great stats. I don't know sorry.......

Doubt it. It's not draconic. 
But seriously, it's not that overated from what I can tell. It's more the direction of Alakazam than Charizard, and despite how much I hate Charizard and Alakazam, at least Alakazam isn't overrated.

Yeah, ok!
No, because Charizard was insanely popular with the 5-10 year olds, especially with both the show (Ash's) and the Trading Card game.
Gardevoir has only been seen in a single episode of the show, the TCG isn't as popular as it used to be, and most 5-10 year olds don't really care about it.
Plus, Charizard was popular when the whole fad of Pokemon was popular, which added to it's overratedness.

If over rated could mean any sort of over rated, then yeah, I'll have to say yes, as far as "What Pokemon character is the hottest?" threads go. No matter what, there is always a bunch of people saying Gardevior is the hottest Pokemon...and though I agree, that could become a Charozard-like fanbase if it should ever get out of control.
ATM, I wouldn't say it's overrated in any department.

Hahaha, that is priceless x) AJ Flibble wins the bloody Thread.
Frankly, he's right, though, humor aside. Gardevoir really doesn't have anything to offer to the little boys of America. The bigger boys, perhaps. But not the young ones, which, although they aren't the only age group interested in Pokémon, do make up a large amount of the fanbase. I'd say Salamence would be more at risk if it was found earlier in the game. With Charizard, you've had time since the beginning of the game to.....er, 'bask in the glory of it,' if you will.
And anyhow, Gardevoir would deserve it. Unlike Charizard, Gardevoir is highly useful in battle and is quite an original idea. Even if it does become the next juggernaut, you can't say it's not justified.
Personally, I'd be more worried about Umbreon, Sneasel, or Absol. And, interestingly enough, they're all Dark Types. If people aren't falling for Dragon Types, they're falling for Dark Types. While Dark Types may be a fair bit more interesting than Dragon Types, I can name a handful of Types that could deserve the attention Dark and Dragon Types get.
I await the day a Dark/Dragon Type comes along
Because you just know the nubes of Pokémon will flock to it like sheep. Failing that, a Fire/Dragon Type would also draw in the masses. Charizard's only half that formula, and look where it is today.~*CB*~

Yet only a fairly modest amount of people flocked to the Dark/Fire Houndoom. But he rules all, and I'm going off topic. But yeah, everything I've said before still applies obviously. But Gardy is still hot.

Eh, not really. Now Absol on the other hand...
Gardevoir is pervbait, but she's cool and a great battler, which is more than can be said for someone...

Houndoom didn't get as big of a fan following as I might've expected, really. Just like Charizard, it was Nintendo's outcry for attention, their way of showing us they have the skill to draw in new members while keeping the older fans of the franchise. But that was met with limited success. Why, I can only imagine, but I suppose it all boils down to personal taste, and as AJ Flibble has noted, mammals don't always go over as well as dragons.
But, Houndoom is a great battler. Again, that's why I wouldn't mind it becoming a juggernaut of the Pokémon world. So then, why is it that Charizard, one of the least deserving of all 386, ends up being arguably the most popular Pokémon ever? ._.
Behold, this post has nothing at all to do with Gardevoir. Despite my theories and speculations, it's technically SPAM 8D
asdf tl;dr
Houndoom and Gardevoir both learn Will-o-Wisp, Houndoom beats Gardevoir with Crunch early in the game, both Pokémon have better Special Stats than Physical. SPAM evasion for t3h winz.

Guilty. Yup. And proud of it. So sue me.Evanji Axu said:
As for the question... no. I doubt Gardy will become mega-overrated. Plus, as CyberCubed said, she's been *stupidly*shafted in the Anime, when she has oh so much potential. Say, how about Anabel? Why give her a Pokémon she NEVER uses and really doesn't clicks with her? She didn't use Gardy in the games either, but she clicked MUCH more than some random Metagross...
And then again, she's got the ability to stand out. Not to mention the grace, beauty, hotness and design. All Gardy fans I know of are quite laid-back and open-minded, which is another plus.
So, I doubt it. Unless pervs get on 99% of humanity's nerves, Gardevoir will never attain a fanbase majorly composed of turds that think she's the OMG best Pokémon in existance. She is both a nice and niice Pokémon to admire. ^^
And before I leave... what's with all the "Overrated" Polls all of a sudden? XD

I suppose it just seems a little overrated because of the crazed fanboys who want to, make out with one, marry one and you know what I mean. Personally though the overrated pokemon are the Eevee evolutions I mean they are so popular and are attention hogs no offense to Eevee lovers though

Uh, folks tend to seem to be missing some things here.
Lizardon is only overrated because some of the fans are a part of the group that assumed the TCG card was the strongest, therefor making it the "best." Sirknight, however, is mainly a hit with some males who view it as um..bit of a sex object. >_>;
However, Sirknight's mainly also a nice alternative in terms of Psychic-types for battling.

Gardevoir is the best non-legendary psychic Pokemon in my opinion. I've won almost every Battle Frontier match with her. Also, paired up with my Starmie and Tyranitar, they rock!
Basically, Gardevoir alone wins almost any battle there.
Well, I've never tried with a Charizard, so I won't post my opinion against him.
That's all folks.

Charizard is worshipped since it was a godsend of sorts in GSC, and newbies worshipped it since it was powerful in the anime.
Gardevoir is sexy (not in a sexual way, freaks), and is just plain cool. It isn't great in competitive play, and isn't as good as Zam, so it probably won't.

I like Gardevoir, for a lot of reasons I like Flygon:
1) You can get them both early in games they're in.
2) Their both really (censored) hard to raise if you do so. Because their pre evos can't take hits well(seriously, I'm lucky to have my XD Kirlia live long enough to sweep) Which makes it oh so much more sweeter to have an in game one in your E4 first spot at a really high level. I mean, you put in all the effort before the E4(cue poet rhyme) and when you've got them the move set and ability, BAM easy win. Ah, it's like chocolate coated in mint.
3) They both look awesome.
4) For some strange reason, I find that Gardevoir, Blaziken and Flygon make the most amazing triple act ever. I don't know why. Hence why those three are usually my big hitting sweepers on my non-desert teams. One for special, one for phys and one for both.
It is one of my top faves ever, after Flygon and before Blaziken, who is followed by Houndoom and Metagross.
Gardevoir will never be overrated, for all the reasons everyone said. I mean, her dubbed voice in the UK was rubbish(way too deep IMO) and if memory serves, she used only one attack in the entire episode (Psychic I think). And she doesn't appeal to the 'younger' fan base as much as Charizard. Though the older fan base, *cough*. Plus she has the moveset to back up the claims of ability.
Though I laugh at her for one detail. She's called the 'Embrace Pokemon', but hugging it front on with those chest spikes must be like being stabbed slowly.
