aw heck I didn't even see Combee booo >_<

I think there just aren't that many "cute voters" to begin with. That's one reason a lot of my expectations are way off, is I am used to talking Pokemon with people who are more into the cute designs than the cool ones or the meta value. The cute ones also get a nerf from my self-excluding ;_;

I guess I gotta stop making fun of Flamigo now, yea. I have never been wrong about any other Pokemon's B8 popularity, so this is a twist!

Pleasantly surprised at Golem and Meowstic and Chandelure and Onix, bummed about Roselia.

I almost gave Pidgey the feature spot <_<

I am vaguely terrified of vote counting round 2

I am vaguely terrified thinking of how I'm going to wrangle a round 2 bracket out of this spreadsheet, but we'll figure it out

Last one of Round 1! Earlier it popped into my head that this could plausibly be the very last time this round format is ever used on B8, which is a weird thing to get sad about but I sure did

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.

If it helps any (more), your voice is very calming and cute and very welcome on a sleepless 4am to try and relax

many are saying this

Eevee's one that I would expect to contend to win the whole thing, but +35 is not grand champion material I think

I hadn't thought of it that way but you're right!

I would never miss a day on this, my own project! ('s all good, I'm still just glad I ain't gotta do it myself >_>)

I thought the division winners got byes?

just the top 26 of em

also, Cubone probably getting the #1 rank for this round is extremely amusing to me

(....with the way seeding works, though, the wild card race is essentially for bragging rights >_> They'll get into round 2, but then get matched up against stuff that won divisions with scores in the mid +50s or thereabouts <_< so like picture two of those guys against a team of Snorlax and Growlithe)

We should be able to guarantee some 8th place survivors at this point, no?

Once we get results, yes. There are 12 untallied divisions and 11 spots, but some of those are finished if you just super want to count them yourself. The score to have a chance is -12.

so if you don't schedule the ads it'll do pre-rolls (everybody coming in has to watch ads at the start)
you can activate ads manually, it usually takes a sec but will keep the pre-rolls off anyway
you can also "snooze" the ads a limited number of times
but at the end of the day, you either run 3 minutes of ads an hour, one way or another, or pre-rolls happen
I don't THINK the stream display ads affect that, but I'm not sure

I THINK that's all correct but ads are weird and annoying

what I do is just set it to do 3m every hour, and then hang out on the starting screen while the first round plays.

Emotes, subs, channel points, iirc bits, and unfortunately ads

daggum you speedran that, nice
