(+) Yeah! (+)

Personally I don't like strategic voting in this, I feel like it runs against the spirit of the contest. But it's not against the rules so whatevs.

Guess just rotten luck on B8 again oops v_v

You know Dragapult made it through the round, right? I am surprised to see that many +1s there, though.

I've never gotten the appeal of Dragapult

Rip Trevanant, ghost tree deserved better

Agreed, but at least it's accurate to UotY which this is based on

in the spirit of uoty, offering all my subsequent +10s for Sirfetch'd +10s on day 5

(this is not a serious post, but please support Sirfetch'd)

this is my stance as well for the record

although I think it WAS in the spirit of UotY, that got pretty cutthroat >_>

I mean, if it got Meowth into wild card range AND tanked Trevenant/Dusknoir...strategic voting saved the day there. >_>

I'm too 1Head to be strategic. I just giggled, my neuron activated as I think about my favs Dragapult and Aegislash

Frosmoth 231

My guys why

Ampharos got zero +1s

(it would have gotten mine but Mienshao is even worse)

ya go my Volcarona

A reasonable result since I wasn't expecting much from Charmeleon.

Looking at Volcarona vs Frosmoth, I'm guessing you get a 50 point boost for being good in battle? Man, Frosmoth was such a disappointment gameplay wise.

Yay for Volcarona and Amphy, but

Frosmoth nooooooo

Whoo go Mareep

and Ampharos winning!

I would have preferred those division results flipped upside-down.

(Not that I dislike Ampharos but I'd have traded them for that bottom 3 in its entirety)

Water Division

Krookodile 300
Snorlax 266
Scyther 259
Pikachu 235

Krookodile got 13 tens and 2 ones
Latias got 0 tens and 7 ones (because it sucks)

Shocked by Milotics poor performance there, thought it was more universally liked

Dang, poor Sprigatito probably needed at least another 10-15 pts to advance if I had to guess.

milotic is cheeks

sad Slowbro (Galarian) couldn't at least get 5th

It's polarizing. People like me who love it REALLY love it. No one else really cares for it at all.

RIP Latias. That's a great performance by Krookodile, isn't it? Maybe too much Gen 1 vote spliting but Snorlax, Scyther and Pikachu should be quite strong and Krookodile solidly beat them.

Tough division. I like Milotic. I just happened to like the other 9 more.

Noooooo Slowbro :(

Poor kitty and fox.

Milotic sux

D5: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80855293

all your +10s to Sirfetch'd please

I like Latias. :(

I hate Krookodile and Snorlax so much lmao, I like every mon in that division fine except those two just suck

I thought Snorlax was unhateable! And I like Krookodile but it is the worst of its line.

Nah Snorlax is like one of my very least favorite mons, I think he's super lame

How can someone hate Snorlax

I'm glad Snorlax isn't here to watch this travesty.

Disgusting Snorlax hate in this topic.

bit left for D5 as well

We keep alternating between days with 5-7 good Pokemon and days with 0-2.

Ground Division

Sirfetch'd 72
Venusaur 55
Joltik 51
Kabutops 44
---
Nidoking 41

Scolipede 40
Tinkaton 39
Gliscor 33
Cofagrigus 33
Spheal 32

low vote totals today, might be because I coincidentally have everyone who gave Sirfetch'd less than a +8 muted, and the rules say:
-If you're muted by Para, or me, or whoever else is counting votes that day, that's rough, buddy.

still 13 minutes left before real results

Sirfetch'd fans have bad taste confirmed.

Ground Division

Joltik 277
Spheal 267

Sirfetch'd 216

base forms + gen 1 reign supreme.

hylianknight's strategic shenanigans flipped Tinkaton (+1) and Kabutops (+10), and Bane_Of_Despair's last-minute post didn't flip them back.

Wildcard contenders (top 8 advance):
Mareep 246
Kabutops 240
Kyogre 230
Meowth 217
Sprigatito 214

Revenge of the NFEs

Whew, saw a few low Spheal votes early and feared the worst

Joltik winning is very surprising to me

Gliscor :(

Joltik is popular but I don't think this was a super strong group. I didn't expect Spheal to be this popular, though.

in unrelated news I'm blocking hylianknight

this is a joke, but, :(

if anyone starts regularly posting in the true final minutes after i have the post ready, they might disappear for a couple days haha

I didn't realize that this was a music contest now.

I'll take losing Gliscor if it means Tinkaton is dead.
