It's User of the Year, but with Pokemon! And, y'know, a modified format, to fit the bajillion entries. I could use help with votals!
-Rounds are posted whenever I get to them, daily-ish.
-Regardless of when they are posted, they will last 24 hours unless stated otherwise (ie they might overlap)
-No alt-voting
-No being a jerk
-No deleting posts, this will be enough of a headache to count already.
-No changing votes, see above.
-One Pokedex number, one entry. I believe that means you get Paradoxes, but not Megas, -maxes, regionals, and Formes. You are welcome to factor that into your vote, or not, however you wish.
-I will never vote, but I will serve as the final tiebreaker, including in seeding.
-If you're muted by Para, or me, or whoever else is counting votes that day, that's rough, buddy.
-I can modify these rules however I want. Don't be the reason I do so.
-Please put extra effort into normal formatting and correct spelling so that the spreadsheets work properly!

ROUND 1 RULES
-Give +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, and -3 to Pokemon however you see fit.
-There are two divisions per day to do this for.
-Please use the Easy Vote form.
-Bottom three scores per division are eliminated (most divisions, 7/10 survive, but there are a few 11-mon divisions that will send 8 through)
-However, the top 11 scores from 8th (or 9th, in the bigger divisions) place finishers will survive.
-Top 26 scoring winners will receive a bye next round.
-1,025 Pokemon will enter, 730 will leave.

I like that, in dudunsparce, we got nothing close to all the elegant (and misguided) draconic/serpentine designs people had been proposing for a dunsparce evo for literally decades. Instead we got dunsparce but more. More sparce. This is exactly what it should be: a bigger, fatter snake.

This division is brutal. Flapple would get my +3 in a lot of divisions (including the other one today) and I couldn't even fit him in. Armaldo is probably like top 15 for me and only gets a +2. Glastrier is the only minus I feel good about. Yeesh

The best thing about pachirisu winning that championship was immediately afterwards, tons of people on the online ladder put it onto their team, thinking it would be good in any team. Spoilers: pachirisu does not fit onto every team.

On one hand, one of my favorite recent legendaries, an actually good starting bird, and a good meme 'mon. On the other, a dumb legendary clone, a Normal/Flying when we already had Pidgey and Doduo, and a worthless mid-stage legendary that doesn't exactly serve any practical purpose and is a pain to acquire for Living Dex.
