Here's how this one is going to work. It's still going to be 128 Pokemon in the final bracket, but obviously with 1025 Pokedex entries, that's going to be a tight fit. So we're going to whittle that number down bit by bit, choosing one Pokemon out of each group of 10 to make it. The groups will be sorted in Pokedex order; this is to help keep things orderly and prevent a Pokemon from slipping through the cracks, but also to make sure that each generation is represented proportionally with how many of the little bastards were added in each set of games. For Pokemon with alternate forms under the same Pokedex entry, such as Unown, Rotom, Wormadam, or Deoxys, all of those forms will be counted as one entry for the sake of keeping the proportional representation intact (and to make sure there aren't too many of a single species on the bracket). Megas, Gigantamax, and any other alternate forms that are only seen during battle are also considered as part of the base species. Regional forms, such as Alolan Exeggutor or Galarian Weezing, are considered as being separate, and will be part of their respective generation's set. Legends: Arceus is considered as "generation 8.5" for the purposes of this tournament. That brings things to a grand total of 1080 Pokemon that qualify for bracket spots, which will break down to a nice even 108. The final twenty bracket spots are "Wild Card" positions, and each generation will have two more chances to get a representative on the bracket. The top 20 non-winners from each generation will be split into two further groups of ten, and those Pokemon will then compete for the remaining spots. I know it might seem confusing when it's all written out like this, but trust me, it will work. I hope. But, as I mentioned in the opening of this topic, these are dark times and the future is uncertain. I'm going to do my damndest to keep up on this so we all have something to look forward to, but I'm going to need everybody here to help out with that by voting. When I ran a temperature check the topic got up to about 50-60 votes, which I felt was fine, but since CE's numbers are only going to dwindle moving forward I will end this tournament early if I feel like the engagement isn't high enough for me to bother putting the time and effort into it anymore. So, please, vote. Anyway, with that out of the way, here's round eight of the preliminaries! Here's to a (hopefully) great fourth tournament, everyone! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e61c5d52.jpg PREVIOUS WINNERS Round 1: Charizard (25.64%) Round 2: Pidgeot (28.36%) Round 3: Sandslash (25.71%) Round 4: Nidoking (30.99%) Round 5: Diglett (19.7%) Round 6: Arcanine (50%) Round 7: Alakazam (46.75%) GEN 1 WILD CARD NOMINEES (20/20) Ninetales - 28.17%, 20 votes Butterfree - 23.88%, 16 votes Blastoise - 21.79%, 17 votes Pikachu - 21.43%, 15 votes Beedrill - 20.9%, 14 votes Vileplume - 16.67%, 11 votes Venomoth - 16.67%, 11 votes Machamp - 14.29%, 11 votes Meowth - 14.29%, 8 votes Raichu - 12.86%, 9 votes Vulpix - 12.68%, 9 votes Poliwrath - 11.69%, 9 votes Bulbasaur - 11.54%, 9 votes Jigglypuff - 11.27%, 8 votes Primeape - 10.71%, 6 votes Zubat - 10.61%, 7 votes Oddish - 10.61%, 7 votes Parasect - 10.61%, 7 votes Bellsprout - 10.39%, 8 votes Golbat - 9.09%, 6 votes In the event that more than 20 Pokemon are in the Wild Card category at the end of a generation, I'll use a randomizer to decide which Pokemon tied for the lowest qualifying score make it onto the polls. ...

Victreebel is sorely, severely, and criminally underrated and always has been, but I'm going with Slowbro. The Shellder symbiosis remains a novel concept.

It really is a close one, huh? I'm surprised Tentacruel is doing so well. I would have expected the Tentas to be written off as the Zubats of the sea. Also didn't expect Slowbro or Victreebel to do so well, but it's nice to see they have fans.

It was literally close enough that if the Blizzard had hit, I would have lost, but that Victreebel pulled through with the win for me. I can't betray something like that. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also didn't expect Slowbro or Victreebel to do so well, but it's nice to see they have fans.The Zubat and Tentacool lines have that negative reputation almost entirely because of how common they are. They're all really well-designed Pokemon I think. Any Pokemon that appears that frequently isn't going to be all that exotic or interesting. Though Zubat is a little bit different in that once it got to become Crobat, it became an easy to get Pokemon that also happened to be really good all the way through to the end of the game. Tentacruel is also pretty solid, but it has a million other Water types to compete with. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not their fault and doesn't mean that their designs are any worse of course, but I'm still surprised people don't hold it against them. It seems like a lot of people like Crobat and even Golbat despite all of that. --- Hambo's alt. ... Copied to Clipboard!
