As I wrote. Looking at the poll you're referencing, all three of the Starter families have an evolutionary member within the top 10, but Rowlet is number one. Disregarding two members of the Litten family, whose vote was split upon, Rowlet is higher than Primarina and thus the Popplio-line...

That's not entirely true though as Rowlet was and is the most popular of the Alolan Starter base forms in Japan (hence Ash having one and in such a significant manner); Rowlet and Decidueye ranked within the top five of Google's Pokémon of the Year poll for Alola as well.

This is the third Grass-type mid evolution they have debuted in the 90-100ish (95 for Quilladin, 97 for Dartrix) episode range for a saga; I'm starting to wonder if there is some kind of bias the writers or whoever is in charge has for/against them.
