Are you not capable of remembering what letter your fave starts with?

Yes I'm capable, but it's far easier and faster to scan through a neat, alphabetically-organized list than actively searching a list of 50+ organized only by gen until I see a favorite or lack thereof. Not to mention when we do Water, there're going to be over twice as many

Neat? When the pre-evos go after the fully evolved? This isn't Kindergarten, I know my Alphabet... I'd rather look through a list where the evolutions are next to each other so if I specifically like one line of Pokemon, I don't have to look for 3 names separately...


If you need one line of Pokemon, shouldn't you know all of their names already? You can type them out and not have to resort to copying-and-pasting.

I'd have preferred to get rid of the bad monkey type and keep Monferno, but whatever. Two terrible Pokemon go down so I'm pleased enough, even if Semisear lives on.

I'm surprised that Emboar, Lampent and Litwick were so close to elimination.

Not all the time... Example: I mix up Snover and Snorunt 24/7... yet I'd know perfectly which is which if I saw Snorunt in 3rd gen and Snover in 4th Gen, would I remember by name? No. I would remember by seeing Abomosnow after one and Glalie after the other

and for another... this time a later contest... I don't know the name of the middle evolution for Serperior... do I want to look that up? No. Would I forget to vote for him if I don't see him in between Snivy and Serperior? Yes.

You think people memorize every Poke?

Uh, yeah. Neat.

When the pre-evos go after the fully evolved?

When you don't have to scan through (a) dozen(s) of pokémon broken down by generation to find what you're looking for.

This isn't Kindergarten, I know my Alphabet...

Good for you!

Btw, no need to get snippy. You asked me a smartass question, so I asked one right back. What did you expect?

I'd rather look through a list where the evolutions are next to each other so if I specifically like one line of Pokemon, I don't have to look for 3 names separately...

I'd rather not. Because I remember which pokémon are related to which. Not like you have to memorize all of them; just the ones you care about.

There's some ridiculous logic going on in here. You know, Google does exist if for some reason you can't remember something and it takes about 5 seconds total to type out the Pokemon's name and check the results.

Alphabetical order makes sense and nothing else really does. I've always disliked non-alphabetical orders as to me that makes it all the more annoying to see who is and who isn't safe.

This argument does not need to go on. It takes two seconds to Google a Pokemon name and you're bound to find the names of the other Pokemon within the family in the first couple of results. I'd like to see you try keeping track of the saves for the Water contest with the generation order >_>

Yeah. It kind of is. The profanity is particularly refreshing!

Glad to hear we'll be sticking with alphabetical then!

I'd seriously hate to have to spend an extra 15-20 seconds scanning through 110 Water-type pokémon every time I want to make a save because one or two poor souls can't distinguish Slowpoke from Slowking or whatever.

Actually, it doesn't take 2 secs for a search engine... Not even Serebii would be that fast... I don't know why people think Google answers everything you ask it... As well, how can I google the name of a Pokemon I don't know the name of...


Plus, it's easy to keep track of where anything is in Generation order, if you want Gen 3, you generally look to the middle, Gen 1 (top), gen 5 (bottom), Gens 4 and 2 aren't hard to find...

meanwhile, this way you have to look for individual names, which takes twice as long because you look down the line for the starting letter, rather than just looking at a general area

I'd hope you would at least know the name of one of the Pokemon in the family if you care about it enough to want to save it. If you don't know the name of Snover but know the name of Abomasnow, then just Google Abomasnow and the first or second link should give you information on that Pokemon and what its pre-evolved form is. I have a Google search bar on the right-side of my browser so Googling something is really quick for me, but even if you don't have the search bar, it doesn't take much longer to type in the URL and then search.

Banning a user because he complains is pretty dumb, I'd have to say.

It wasn't the issue of not knowing the name of Snover, but mixing up him and Snorunt... which doesn't take Googling one or the other, it was thinking one was the other...

Which, because you think you're right, you don't look it up, and vote for the one you think is that one, which turns out you voted wrong, but didn't know you did...

If you don't know the difference between Snover and Snorunt, I doubt you want to save either of them. Stop complaining, you're literally the ONLY one who feels this way.

Eh... mostly because I realized I was whining that bad... decided to get away from this thing...

But anyway, I'm not his alt, though he and I shared the attempt to make Zigzagoon go far in the normal contest...

And for all, I apologize for the annoying rant that actually amused a few of you... that wasn't even a rant...
