Third place


Over 5 months ago I made a poll asking what the board's favourite early rodent pokemon was. It wasn't intended to go much further than that. Then more and more polls were made, and I soon decided to try and get through every single pokemon. Months later, we finally got through all 1000+ pokemon (including variants), and then I figured why not keep narrowing things down and see who's left standing at the end. And here we are. From 1000+ down to 2, we've reached the final! Who will be determined as the board's favourite pokemon?

Please make your vote clear, and for reference votes will be counted for exactly 24 hours from the posting of this topic. If there's a tie after those 24 hours, the voting will remain open until that tie is broken. Let's go!

FINAL: Heracross v Bulbasaur

Bulbasaur 54-48 Espeon

Props to Espeon, it attempted a major comeback and got within two votes of Bulbasaur near the end of page 2. But it turns out Bulba was one gen 1 giant too many for Espeon to take down, and it must settle for finishing in the Elite Four. One heck of a run considering how close it was to being eliminated in round 1!
