I've done this style of poll contest once before, back in either Gen VII or Gen VIII, so why not try it again now? The rules are simple: each day, I'm going to post a poll for a given Pokemon typing, with each generation's roster of new Pokemon filling in that typing. You just need to look at what each generation had to offer, and select which generation you think brought the best new roster (for any reason; you could say that a single Pokemon was so good that it overwhelms everything else the generation spawned, or you could select a generation that may be more well-rounded that the one that created your personal favorite). At the end of the day, one generation will be crowned a champion (with potential tiebreakers if need be), and that generation will advance to a second round, where the eighteen winners, and fourteen strongest runner-ups will be sorted into a 32-entrant tournament to crown which generation produced the best overall roster of a single typing.

And we round out our initial contest with a relatively dominant performance from Gen I once again, with a sizable number of Water-types that allowed it to break the twenty-vote barrier. Meanwhile, Gen VII gave a strong performance to try and score second place, but ultimately, Gen III had too much Water and scored thirteen votes as a second-place finish, which bumped Psychic out of the wild card race and has at least completed our basic bracket design.

For today's contest, we still have two wild cards to be decided as there were ties, and only one typing can get an official second place berth in the tournament. We're starting with Ground, where Gen III and Gen V both managed to put in solid showings against Gen I's dominant origins, and now they're facing each other, one-on-one.
