Onto some fighters! Oblig notes: The Crabrawler and Clobbopus lines have already been in, Tyrogue and Riolu were in the baby poll but their evolutions will be here tomorrow, and secondary fighting lines like Croagunk, Scraggy and Stufful will be included in polls for their primary types. I included Kubfu here despite its legendary status as it feels more comparable to this batch, but my current plan is to exclude Urshifu tomorrow and save it for a legendary poll. Otherwise there'll be too many to fit in and I'll have to combine some or remove someone else (ie move Lucario to a steel poll), if people would rather I do that pls say so!

Otherwise, pls enjoy your punching and kicking friends :)

Pancham is one of the few later Pokemon I love.

Easy panda vote

This is a very weak group for me, apart from Pancham who is super great.

Pancham > Kubfu > Mankey > Makuhita > Mienfoo > G-Farfetch'd > Meditite

I do not like these. Mankey, Mienfoo, and I guess Farfetch'd are fine though.

Pancham possibly the best unevolved pokemon ever

Pancham >>>>>>>> G-Farfetch'd > Mankey > Makuhita > Mienfoo > Meditite > Kubfu

Kubfu is dreadful. Rest are varying degrees of okay.

Very meh group.

Pancham >>> G-Farfetch'd > Mienfoo > Makuhita > Kubfu > Makuhita >>>>> Meditite

Mankey's the savior of Pokemon Yellow early game and is relatively fun in Pokemon Snap, and Makuhita is actually a pretty clever design and fun to use after, like, Level 15 or so in its debut... but both just kind of fall in the "it's okay I guess" kind of design. Like they work, they just don't stand out. Everything from there is sort of diminishing returns on the same kind of concept, and then Pancham, who is great and leagues ahead of the pack.

Somehow making Farfetch'd look less like a dumb weird duck makes me like it less.

Pancham and G-Farfetch'd are my favs today, I didn't expect Pancham to be the resounding winner though!

Mankey > Makuhita > Mienfoo

Pancham, Mankey and Mienfoo are my faves, but I voted Mienfoo because I thought Pancham and Mankey would have enough votes!

Pancham is great

I went for Kubfu though. I mean, look at him.
(I guess Sword/Shield DLC spoilers ahead)

Where's Hitmonchan?

No

never seen Kubfu in my life

Pancham > G-Farfetch'd > Makuhita > Mienfoo > Mankey > Kubfu > Meditite

easy Pancham vote, love that little guy! I like G-Farffetch'd and Makuhita a lot too

Where's Hitmonchan?

Hitmonchan evolves from Tyrogue, so it'll be here tomorrow!

G-farfetch'd is arguably funnier than regular farfetch'd because he's so serious but he's still a unibrow duck

G-fetch > Pancham > Mankey > Kubfoo > Mienfoo > Makuhita > Meditite

Pancham is amazing. G-Fetch is also really cool but I never had one T_T

Wow the top 3 mirrors my own exactly! Maybe the first time that's happened.
