I really would have loved to have seen the winner of Chrono Trigger vs. Pokemon RBY against Ocarina of Time directly in that small window of time post-Wii U, but pre-BotW. If there was ever a time that GameFAQs would, on its own, choose another game over Ocarina, it would have been in that window of time that has long since closed.

Ocarina likely would've SFF'd Pokemon RBY (barring any major Pokemon rallies, of course). I know RBY destroyed Mario 3, but RBY/Ocarina are from the from the same era/year, and that makes a difference. That said, if RBY/OoT met in the final, you could potentially have a Majora/Brawl situation where Pokemon rides its momentum and "good vs. evil" narrative to a close victory.

Ocarina vs. CT would've been interesting. 3D vs. 2D, Nintendo vs. Square, N64 vs. SNES, Sprites vs. Polygons, Zelda vs. JRPGs, etc. CT could've potentially been another "good vs. evil" candidate by the time it reached the final.

I actually had Pokemon > OoT in my 2015 bracket. I knew it was a bit of a long shot, but I figured that Ocarina was ripe for the picking no matter which game got through the loaded top half of the bracket. If Pokemon vs. Ocarina had been set up to happen before hand, OoT probably wrecks Pokemon's shit, but a Pokemon that went through the three top Mario games, as well as the strongest of CT/Melee/FF6/FF7, would have been riding some serious momentum against Ocarina that was just gifted an easy path on purpose. And if Pokemon had beaten UNDERTALE, I would have had a potentially grand prize winning bracket because RBY would have ran that momentum to contest victory right there.

Of course, hindsight shows us that a rally-less contest would have Chrono Trigger in that spot without question. I still say CT would have done it, considering the way OoT just let UNDERTALE run right through it, while all the other games it beat gave it some sort of trouble.
