also, Cubone probably getting the #1 rank for this round is extremely amusing to me
It definitely isn't something I would have predicted, but it does kinda make sense. It was by far the strongest Pokemon in a fairly weak division, and it was in one of the first rounds when the votals are naturally going to be higher.
That said, I wonder if a round 2 bye may end up kinda being a disadvantage for certain Pokemon. I assume they won't be eligible for a round 3 bye, which will definitely be the harder round to survive, when they probably would have crushed their round 2 opponents. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with an overseeded round 1 bye that gets a bad draw and ends up eliminated in round 3.
