(Really late) Tag

I was somehow so occupied with Save My Pokemon and other things that I came to realize just until now that I wasn't receiving any notifications from this topic.

Portal vs. Red Dead Redemption who wins?


Depends on how strong Portal 1 is now in comparison to 2.

After the GameFAQs switch to a subdomain of GameSpot, we now have a total of 15 polls to compare vote totals to the polls before the switch.

Average vote totals before the switch - 12720
Average vote totals after the switch - 12821

There's almost no difference whatsoever. It's impossible to say for sure if the GameFAQs subdomain change has affected our vote totals.

I see that as only an extremely minor flaw. I imagine those who played Yellow (but not Red or Blue) will still vote in the poll because it's mostly the same game minus some small differences.

At the freeze, RBY has a playrate of 77.94%.

Wrong. Japanese Green (and Red) were the initial releases of the game. The developers then made some fixes and changes and released the updated version as Pokemon Blue in Japan. The Japanese Pokemon Blue was used for the International Red & Blue that we all know so well.

Pokemon RBY finished with a playrate of 78.58% a few days ago. The poll question didn't mention Yellow for one very good reason - this was a poll for the 20th anniversary of the US release date of Red/Blue, so it would make sense to exclude Yellow in the poll question. Despite this, I decided to treat this as an RBY poll. This is only an extremely minor flaw and likely doesn't affect the playrate that much.

The new result has been added to this page:

Next contest should just be "Best Dark Character Ever" and just be full of the Dark versions of all characters.

Dark Link, Dark Samus, Wario, Cloud (i.e. Dark Zack), etc.

Though I like the concept of Villains better, seeing Evil Ryu, Omega Rugal, and (maybe?) Shadow the Hedgehog would also be nice.

Yes, and it apparently wasn't that well-received. I mentioned it because I think a "Dark Character Battle" wouldn't be as good as Villains, which wasn't so popular in the first place.

The same character that would rally to win a contest if it were held right now...if you catch my drift.

No rallying, Seph probably still wins though.
