(+) Yeah! (+)

Ugh, that's terrible. Kommo-o is a great pseudolegendary, and Weezing is a classic (plus the fun Galarian form). Meanwhile, basic doggo and basic NFE.

basic doggo kicks ass

It's a doggo with a long, flowing mustache.

Gen IX gave us so many doggos and I am forever grateful.

I am forever disappointed because other than Dachsbun line, I very much dislike the doggos we got in Gen 9

Give us cute doggo starter next Gen please. I still cant believe there hasnt been a doggo starter yet.

I'm not in love with Maschiff and Houndstone is just decent, but Mabosstiff and Greavard are good boys!

How can you dislike Mabosstiff you monster

Mastiffs are one of my least favorite dog breeds is how.

b8 never change in delivering the most baffling takes to my sensibilities

like damn weezing is one of the gen 1 pokemon I actually simp (and kommo-o is one of the better pseudos)

This is genuinely a great point. Missing out on big money not doing a dog starter.

No clue why I just took the time to do this

Dont need anymore lizards. But do need a dog.

I never thought of Bulbasaur as a frog, just a walking plant lol.

Also I thought Cyndaquil was a hedgehog/porcupine/echidna, and Mudkip an axolotl/mudskipper.

Oh yeah, I suppose technically its 2 salamanders and 2 lizards. Not 4 lizards. Thats better.

Venusaur is the most toad-like, but I dunno if the similarities are really on purpose or not.

I don't think Bulba is gonna win the tournament like I would like him to, but at least he gets a chance to attack and kill God

we've got a bunch of inanimate object pokemon but no inanimate object starters

so that's what we're really due for

I would personally love an inanimate object starter but I think they've commited hard to making them close to cute real life animals. Rillaboom is probably the closest given it literally just carries around an animate object permanently but that drum is the worst aspect of its design.

(35) Clefable/Tyrunt - Voltorb/Dodrio (13)
(32) Kingler/Dudunsparce - Onix/Clobbopus (16)

Upsets have been pretty common lately, so now upper seed dominance is the new upset.

RIP Yamper. :(

Get rekt, God.

But bleh, I blame Oranguru for this disaster of a fourth match. How did that thing end up the highest seed in this match?

Belossom/Mantine is one of my choices for best pairing this round, so a little surprising it nearly lost.

Yeah, I absolutely blame Oranguru, because holy shit how was that a higher seed than Infernape?

I think Oranguru is kinda decent and strongly dislike Infernape *shrug*

Poor Minior+Raboot

(21) Buneary/Wartortle - Togepi/Armarouge (23)

Double win for the Mega Men. I think Wartortle is the first Gen I starter to die. Clefairy/Iron Treads were briefly in the lead, but it did not last.

would have been nice to have match 3 upset as well but I'll take the match 4 upset

There's still over two hours left for the previous day, btw. I think?

Yeah I was sad voting against it, really like Buizel too though. Decided by thinking Poochyena > Helioptile

First match's battle of the starters was not much of a fight. Bad day for Fire starters in general!

good work team

Poor poor Sewaddle.

He's a super cutie that deserves more love.

Anime Sewaddle was awesome. And then he evolved and lost his personality :(

Sewaddle and Swadloon are great, Leavanny is meh

Meloetta...

(28) Electabuzz/Basculegion - Fletchinder/Espathra (14)
(22) Azumarill/Armaldo - Arbok/Floatzel (20)

By far the closest we've come to a first match upset. I'm surprised that was even the top match to begin with.

Meanwhile, seething Team Rocket hate. Thought for sure A/F would win that one.

Armaldo too good

I would probably vote for Arbok/Floatzel today

Too close!

rip birds :(
