It looked like Mienshao had the upper hand initially, but Infernape pulled another turnaround to emerge victorious at 27-23!
That makes three consecutive starter victories, from three different Gens, too. Gen II and most of Gen III starters have had their chance at winning a contest, so we'll see how Swampert does in the Ground contest.
I tried GaryOak's tactic of avoiding updates to see if that would deter Infernape haters from voting, and it looks like that might have contributed to its victory.
Flying Pokemon contest will start on 1/2/2012. Till next year!
