Here's how this one is going to work. It's still going to be 128 Pokemon in the final bracket, but obviously with 1025 Pokedex entries, that's going to be a tight fit. So we're going to whittle that number down bit by bit, choosing one Pokemon out of each group of 10 to make it. The groups will be sorted in Pokedex order; this is to help keep things orderly and prevent a Pokemon from slipping through the cracks, but also to make sure that each generation is represented proportionally with how many of the little bastards were added in each set of games. For Pokemon with alternate forms under the same Pokedex entry, such as Unown, Rotom, Wormadam, or Deoxys, all of those forms will be counted as one entry for the sake of keeping the proportional representation intact (and to make sure there aren't too many of a single species on the bracket). Megas, Gigantamax, and any other alternate forms that are only seen during battle are also considered as part of the base species. Regional forms, such as Alolan Exeggutor or Galarian Weezing, are considered as being separate, and will be part of their respective generation's set. Legends: Arceus is considered as "generation 8.5" for the purposes of this tournament. That brings things to a grand total of 1080 Pokemon that qualify for bracket spots, which will break down to a nice even 108. The final twenty bracket spots are "Wild Card" positions, and each generation will have two more chances to get a representative on the bracket. The top 20 non-winners from each generation will be split into two further groups of ten, and those Pokemon will then compete for the remaining spots. I know it might seem confusing when it's all written out like this, but trust me, it will work. I hope. But, as I mentioned in the opening of this topic, these are dark times and the future is uncertain. I'm going to do my damndest to keep up on this so we all have something to look forward to, but I'm going to need everybody here to help out with that by voting. When I ran a temperature check the topic got up to about 50-60 votes, which I felt was fine, but since CE's numbers are only going to dwindle moving forward I will end this tournament early if I feel like the engagement isn't high enough for me to bother putting the time and effort into it anymore. So, please, vote. Anyway, with that out of the way, here's round eleven of the preliminaries! Here's to a (hopefully) great fourth tournament, everyone! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e3ee68c2.jpg PREVIOUS WINNERS Round 1: Charizard (25.64%) Round 2: Pidgeot (28.36%) Round 3: Sandslash (25.71%) Round 4: Nidoking (30.99%) Round 5: Diglett (19.7%) Round 6: Arcanine (50%) Round 7: Alakazam (46.75%) Round 8: Victreebel (17.19%) Round 9: Farfetch'd (29.03%) Round 10: Gengar (51.39%) GEN 1 WILD CARD NOMINEES (20/20) Ninetales - 28.17%, 20 votes Butterfree - 23.88%, 16 votes Magneton - 22.58%, 14 votes Blastoise - 21.79%, 17 votes Pikachu - 21.43%, 15 votes Beedrill - 20.9%, 14 votes Haunter - 20.83%, 15 votes Vileplume - 16.67%, 11 votes Venomoth - 16.67%, 11 votes Tentacruel - 15.63%, 10 votes Machamp - 14.29%, 11 votes Meowth - 14.29%, 8 votes Golem - 14.06%, 9 votes Slowbro - 14.06%, 9 votes Muk - 12.9%, 8 votes Raichu - 12.86%, 9 votes Vulpix - 12.68%, 9 votes Rapidash - 12.5%, 8 votes Slowpoke - 12.5%, 8 votes Poliwrath - 11.69%, 9 votes In the event that more than 20 Pokemon are in the Wild Card category at the end of a generation, I'll use a randomizer to decide which Pokemon tied for the lowest qualifying score make it onto the polls. ...

Cubone. Cute shape and a cool skull. I never liked how Marowak's skull loses the eye hole and becomes more form fitting.

Going with Hitmonchan here, even if he was dogshit in Gen 1.

I encourage perusal of Cubone's trading card artwork. There are fantastic pieces from the craze until today.
https://www.serebii.net/card/dex/104.shtml Several allude to Cubone's naturally forlorn existence, what with wearing its mother's skull and all (tears in third artwork). Then, there is something empowering about that skull becoming a part of itself when it evolves. It's such an interesting design this early in the series. --- While we count these petals to pluck them off a cosmos The stem is likely to blast but never does the fate ... Copied to Clipboard!

Weezing has a good shot in this one since he's not up against any standout Pokemon. Poison types are the best.

Poison types are the best.I would have guessed Marowak and either Exeggutor or Lickitung would be the top contenders, but apparently Weezing is in the lead atm. I am constantly surprised and bewildered by the people's favorite pokeymans. Edit: by the time I posted this, Marowak had already pulled ahead lol. Naturally. And this is the last time I'm updating this post about the lead. --- Hambo's alt. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Cubone might have the most low key nonsense Pokedex entry (wears its mothers skull) and thats saying a lot. That alone makes me want to pick him. Anyway, I picked Marowak. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The introduction of breeding in gen 2 really threw a wrench into Cubone and Kangaskhan's lore. They could really stand to have some unique breeding mechanics or even just a retcon for the origin of Cubones' skulls.

If Cubone never take their fathers skulls, then each generation cuts the amount of Cubone in half even if they arent being killed by something else. How are they not extinct? What if a Marowak has more than one kid? Where does the skull come from if Cubones mother is still alive? Do all Marowak die in childbirth (egg laying)? Where does the skull Marowaks wearing go when Cubone puts on Marowaks skull? ... Copied to Clipboard!
