For everyone who believes is the TOP OPTION factor

The top three options for today's poll are the bottom option, the second-to-bottom option, and the third-to-bottom option in that order.

Top option theory DESTROYED

I also wonder if we have ever had a 10+ entrant poll before in which the bottom three options had the highest vote totals, and I wonder if it's ever happened in that order. Seems fairly unlikely; I don't know if we have a good way to check and I don't think it's worth doing the legwork. I'm satisfied just calling "top option factor DESTROYED" and calling it a day.

Well at least the percentage who said yes has gone down since the last two times this has been asked.
Clearly there are benefits to our decline in votals!

Barely played it (yet loved it) back in 1999.

I managed to get my hands on it again back in 2015; a rush of nostalgia flowed through and I finished it for the first time, catching 'em all. One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

Despite later generations improving it from a technical standpoint, they have failed to replicate the overall feel and experience of the original. It has stood the test of time in a weird way.

The poll also implies its probably okay to vote the first one if you only caught the first 150. Otherwise it should have just said 151 instead of being cute.

People should just stop saying "150 Pokemon" or "250 Pokemon" (less common than 150 but still happens) in general. There were always 151 and 251. All of the pokemon were always coded in the games, there's no reason to arbitrarily leave out the last ones just because Game Freak is stupid and didn't design the games to have every single Pokemon capturable (which is still something they insist on doing today for various reasons) or Game Freak is stupid and gives you the diploma without catching them all (also something they still do.... for whatever reason).

Forgot about the glitch, but that wasnt discovered until years after the games came out, right? I wouldnt think that many people would go back and replay the game to the point of completing the Pokdex. I guess Ill with gameshark/people voting for that option with 150 maybe you could get up to a quarter, but I still doubt it.

I haven't touched a Pokemon game since RBY in like the 7th grade (1999ish) and I caught a Mew using the glitch

The first Mew glitch was first discovered in 2003. So if you had a Mew in 1999 it was either legit or used an external cheating device.

Nope. The Missingno. glitch did not give access to Mew. The Pokemon you can see via the Missingno. glitch depended on your trainer name. By coincidence, none of the possible trainer names let you get Mew.

Today's poll should have some interesting trends for sure:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7742-

This is a re-run of the 2016 version of this poll, which has badly messed up poll graphs due to the addition of a "Beef" option after nearly 2 hours into the poll. The addition of that option in a live poll really confused GameFAQs when it came to the poll graphs and the admins didn't bother fixing the mistake when I pointed it out to them. Today's poll won't suffer from that issue.

Because nobody cares enough to vote for Pokemon, but they will care enough to antivote it for the sake of an eroge.

Also, nice to see you here again, Advokaiser. You planning to defend your title next contest?

Red is a character that I never understood how he can be as popular as he is. He doesnt look cool and the stars of Pokemon is the Pokemons and not the trainers. And he still have won over a couple of really interesting characters from popular games.

Okay, this has me laughing after checking the article for Red vs Neptunia:

Ulti: I don't even want to know who the freaks are that got Neptune the video game pedophile simulator all the way up to an 8 seed...Looking at underaged Japanophile cartoon boobs and ass bouncing around because you're too scared of the FBI to look at the real thing doesn't make you any less of a pedophile.

Tsunami: I wasn't involved with the stuffing, but I was heavily involved with the nomination rally so I'll wear that fiasco as a badge of shame...Don't let this percentage discourage you from checking Neptunia out.

Hes still a human character in Pokemon, plus has a good bit of association with Smash Bros Brawl specifically, so that could rile up antivotes from Melee fans. Still, silent protagonists are always gonna be kings of popularity on this site - just look at Crono, or the LAW.
