CHATOOOOOOOOT!!

caps
---

I'm so embarrassed for you guys right now. At least I know that I don't have to take your Pokopinions seriously anymore. But seriously, can we all agree to pretend this contest never happened?
---

alright honestly I'm glad it wasn't even close, that would have miffed me a bit if it was

well congrats Chatot you're pretty much a nothing pokemon to me but I can't say I hate you so there we go
---

This is what you guys get for bringing lightning bolts of hatred like charizard and articuno to the end instead of Gen 1ers that can actually win on underdog status like bulbasaur
---

Reminder that this is what happens when all the good winners get anti-voted out in the top 20.
---

It was fun getting Flareon further than I ever thought would be possible! Thank you to everyone who helped make that happen.

Congratulations to Chatot, too.
---

heh

Congrats to Chatot! Never knew the little guy had so many fans. Also, at least it wasn't Decidueye.

(alsooo I'm so behind on pics oops)
---

nice. about as good a winner as i could have hoped for once Mimikyu went out (i like Espeon better, Chatot/Flareon/Empoleon about the same).

Drak, can you post all the pics once you're done? i missed Mimikyu's
---

I was gonna participate, but the number of Pokemon made it feel too exhausting. What a terrible finale though. Most of the top 10 isnt even too great either.

congrats Stifled

I'll have waffles for breakfast tomorrow in honor of your pet Chatot WAFFLES

My best memory of Chatot is yours and you teaching it to say "waffles" xD
---

chatot are you kidding me
---

Like I said this should really be a wake-up call

Haha yeah those were good times. Our Gen 4 battles were a lot of fun.
---

The thing with this result is that I'm not sure if people were voting for Chatot because it was the underdog here, or because they wanted to prevent the most recent generation from winning the final. If there was anti-Gen 7 voting taking place here, this would suggest that Flareon would have taken out Lycanroc if it had reached the final. Vote totals would probably have been even higher with a Gen 1 option in the final.

Still, this final getting only 54 votes is a disappointment when the previous Save My Pokemon had 85 votes for the final (although there was a Gen 1 option there).
---

7 of the final 8 would've at least been acceptable. 5 of the final 8 would've been outright amazing. We wound up with the 1/8. I mean, congrats to Stifled. Just sucks to participate for such a long fucking contest, and then all the best winners get anti-voted for being threats until, as XIII said, the three least-threatening Pokemon were left at the end.
---

Ok guys can we not bury Lycanroc like this he's legit
---

Yay, Zard made it in to the Top 10!

BURN IT DOWN!
---

Every contest deserves a Marche
---

I'm not surprised the vote totals were less this time around. Maybe next time around all my favs won't get slaughtered so early.
---

Yeah

The 4-8 ranked Pokemon here are practically a graveyard of solid potential winners.

Then that top 3.
---

This went on a for a million bloody years, didn't it?

Now what?
---

Well I could always ruin another SMDC contest

Despite the large number of Pokemon in the contest, we actually plowed through the crap very quickly. The first round of the contest eliminated 57 Pokemon alone, and then we had 50 eliminations per day until we got down to 400 Pokemon remaining. This was only about a 4 month contest, a similar length to contests like SMFFFC. The previous Save My Pokemon back in 2015/2016 ran for about 7 months, for comparison purposes to this contest.

I wish you had participated since you like Gardevoir. Still, we were able to get Gardevoir into the Top 100 without your help.
---

Now we mentally prepare for next year's Spinda > Gen 8 Mascot finals.

Spinda winning would be amazing, but i think i'm the only one that cares about Spinda here.
---

lycanroc is bad bane. I'm sorry
---

Oh, I didnt realize so many were gonna be eliminated so quickly. Definitely wouldve tried to get Gardevoir as far as possible if I participated. Oh well

But he's not
---

Bane_Of_Despair posted...

But he's not

Fine. He's in like the 60, maybe 70th percentile of Pokemon

1. Chatot

3. Flareon
4. Decidueye
5. Empoleon
6. Articuno
7. Charizard
8. Espeon

Agreed 100% Inviso. Great top 8. All good to great winners regardless of my opinion, except who won.

And the final 3 being the least threatening is very apt.
---

Decidueye wouldn't have gotten blown out and anti-voted in the finals, Bane. Just saying.

Because Decidueye is such a fuckin vanilla option tbh

And Lycanroc...isn't?
---

No he isn't
---

Bane_Of_Despair posted...

No he isn't

Neither is Decidueye.
---

Decidueye is the ultimate hitting all the checkboxes to me

I even like him, but it's just such an obvious winner

those were the good ol' days

I need to re-open my PokeBank (or just use Gen 6) but if you wanna do more battles, we always can.
---

I went through the list of voters that tennis posted and noticed that Chatot was heavily favored among voters who had not previously voted in the contest prior to the final. It's difficult to say why this was very one-sided among these first time voters. It could have been anti-Gen 7 voting. Maybe it wasn't anti-Gen 7 voting for most of these first time voters and they voted for Chatot because it was the underdog.

Lycanroc only got 2 votes from users who didn't vote in the contest before the final.

And this is why we have Chatot as our winner.
---

...Charizard is the epitome of obvious (because its badass and Gen 1 and a mascot starter for all of Pokemon).

Decidueye is not obvious.
---

Charizard is as well yes! Although tbh I think I like Charizard a bit more but I digress
---

with those stats, there's probably some rallying that went on. cant be provable though.

Sure! I haven't had a battle in a long time. Sounds fun.
---

In any case I feel bad for Stifled because he 100% legit supported Chatot until the end (and I think there were a few more legit Chatot savers) so I genuinely congratulate them for this.
---

Guys! Aren't we going to hold the traditional Kill My Pokemon after this? Heliolisk won last time iirc. I would gladly do it, but I don't have the time nor skills to run it. Is someone up to the task?
