Is there any point to Star of the Day if you're going to pick the Dud as Star just because they won?

Honestly no, there is no point. I hate having to pick Star/Dud. It's easily the worst part of tallying the votes because everyone has an opinion about why I'm wrong even though, again, there are only eight possible choices and most of these matches are blowouts with similar margins. I inherited Star/Dud, though, so I felt obligated to keep doing them. I guess one way to avoid that is to just stop tallying, which I guess I'll do. Someone else can tally from now on.

Freezington Division
(39) Zebstrika/Excadrill v. Vanilluxe/Trumbeak (6)
(41) Shedinja/Meowscarada v. Grotle/Iron Boulder (4)
(23) Poliwhirl/Furret v. Orbeetle/Oricorio (22)
(31) Ho-oh/Latias v. Axew/Arboliva (14)

Star of the Day: Poliwhirl/Furret
They didn't dominate the competition like the left side often does, but theres still something impressive about narrowly managing to avoid an upset.

Dud of the Day: Grotle/Iron Boulder
No fancy reasoning, these two just got the lowest score of the day.

But... there would still be 5 more hard boots...

We already had five moogles in. Not that I'd ever let Mog IX suffer such a fate, but there would've been one moogle per hardboot!

I haven't watched today's episode of Train, but I'm actually really glad to hear it's dull. After the absolute awful nonsense that was last week's episode, I needed them to dial it back about fifty notches.

(37) Xerneas/Pinsir v. Crocalor/Geodude (10)

Star of the Day: Xerneas/Pinsir
A lot of today's results were similar, but I think it's impressive that these two managed to get the second-biggest blowout against a Gen 1 mon like Geodude.

Dud of the Day: Qwilfish/Volcanion
Even on a day where a lot of results were similar, these two were the clear losers.

It's been ages since I watched the show, but as I recall, the bullying isn't exactly severe, and isn't the plot of the whole show, either.

Oh that's good to know, thanks! Dear Brother is on Tubi too, so not difficult to watch, maybe I'll just give it a try.

Looking at 1991 and it's just so striking that so few shows used to air back then, and that half of them were Mecha.

I wouldnt even mind the number of mecha shows, but most of them are also seemingly for literal children, lol

UshiromiyaEva posted...

and yeah it was a mess, but people arguing about it being an all time worst manga adaptation contendor mess?

Sheesh, these people don't watch the true junk. I can think of several messier adaptations. Unnamed Memory springs immediately to mind as a worse adaptation just from this season! Whisper is, at worst, just kinda low budget and lazy. None of its problems ruin the tone or the story.

Roba you know swordz was trading his noms for Yuffie and she already had enough support before you did that???

I got spooked by Lopen dropping Yuffie because she looked guaranteed. Plus I didn't realize Sonon got another nom right before I did that lol. Even if Sonon gets 8, Yuffie would also only have 8 and that would have me spooked for the entire last twelve hours of noms. Getting Yuffie in is vital. Getting Sonon in would've been fun because then I could make a fun FF cross-stitch of the two of them like I did for YRP that one year, but he isnt necessary.

Yeah, my favorite anime in Winter was 7th Time Loop. I loved it, it was great, but there are three anime this season I'd easily rank above it (Condition, Jellyfish, Tonbo).

I won't get to see GBC 8 for at least a week but I looked up the spoilers because I'm weak. Man, this season's girls music anime sure have a lot in common, don't they!

junk, you just need to nominate something else and have it stand-in as a proxy for FFX Bahamut. Might I suggest this, which I found on the FF wiki:

"A Bahamut-like summon called Gun Dragon appears in Final Fantasy: Unlimited."

All hail Gun Dragon

Alfornada Division

(15) Wooloo/Slowpoke v. Politoed/Corvisquire (35)

Star of the Day: Politoed/Corvisquire
Another upset! Perhaps these two only won because Slowpoke's voters were too slow, but its still an accomplishment.

Dud of the Day: Noibat/Fletchling
I'm giving these two the dud because for awhile it looked like we might get a double upset today, but they faltered towards the end.

going with game-specific summons opens the door to having any summon that appears in more than one game taking multiple spots in the field

I googled it and a Reddit thread a year ago tallied Ifrit, Bahamut, and Shiva as appearimg thirteen times in the franchise. I demand Year of Ifrits

Whats everyones strategy for voting? How much thought are you putting into every match?

sometimes I just skim over it and look for Pokemon I fucking hate, then vote for the other side

I haven't played a Pokemon since Sun/Moon and I missed a gen or two before that as well. I rarely recognize all of them by name, so I google their pictures and go off that. Really crappy Pokemon can drag down all but my absolute favorites, otherwise it's pretty easy just to pick the duo I like better.

Star of the Day: Bronzong/Chesnaught
Managing an upset win makes this duo the automatic star. I've always loved Bronzong, glad to see other people do too.

Dud of the Day: Tadbulb/Drednaw
I don't want to give dud to the upset losers, they put up a good fight, so I'll just give it to these two for only getting six votes total.

Frieren isn't quite as new as 7th Time Loop would've been but it's neat that such a recent anime is making the finals.

Change my Sonon nom from regular to double also, please.

I found a mistake in the pastebin, you have Chaeix down for Sonon, I think because they quoted a post from someone else nomming Sonon. He should only have me and my two trades with Gen/Plasma as far as I can tell.

we just watched through "say i love you" - surprisingly good one!

I tried watching this recently and absolutely hated it. Main dude sexually assaulted the main girl several times just in the three episodes I suffered through.

So its probably late to bring it up, but could we have conceivably just be voting left/right on these rounds instead of naming the pokes? Or is that still hard?

Aria can make the final ruling but I count by scrolling through the topic eight times counting votes for each duo one at a time. I don't use crtl-f or anything so typos don't matter, but having the actual names is a lot easier at a glance than right/left would be

Not bolding either yet, going to wait and see who needs it more. I'm really hoping I can strategically trade noms or otherwise gather support to get both members of Team Wutai in.

Star of the Day: Typhlosion/Meowth
At 49 to 2, these two have had the best match of the round so far. Meowth, that's right!

Dud of the Day: Klink/Bounsweet
Similarly, these two have lost the hardest of any duo so far. A few others got two votes, but there were less votes overall in those matches.

Thanks anyway, but what I wanted was Madoka safe lol

Whoops, sorry I was so late getting back to you. At least, by my count, Madoka would've still gone out even if you'd managed another trade.

It would appear to be safe. Was there anything else?

Nope, save whatever you want
