Raikou was -52

thanks for doing all of the results!

This was a rough round for most of my remaining favorites.

god bless

my other comments are, in no particular order:

• thank u not dave
• ya go my galvantula
• spheal, joltik, and wooper holding ground as cute prevos is wonderful

notdave posted...

Gen 1: 17
Gen 2: 12

:O

That being said my top 3 is still holding on so I can't complain. Poor Garchomp though :/

It is a little shocking that Gen II is keeping it that close to I.

What was the highest rated Gen 9 Pokemon, by vote differential? If you wouldnt mind sharing notdave.

Thankyou for your time investment in this contest. You are making it hum.

thanks all!

think that would be Clodsire at -15

Clodsire wins Gen 9. Love it.

Clodsire not advancing was criminal but at least it is the Gen 9 "champ"!

should have been this guy
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d2f60e2e.png

oh, were there 6 byes out of this round?

that would be Scizor, Galvantula, Houndoom, Typhlosion, Blastoise, Excadrill

I didn't realize there would be bies this time. That is a very good round to get a bye, pass rate is quite low now.

There are only 14 more places and 8 Pokmon coming back after getting a bye in the past round.

Looks like the leaks didn't hurt Typhlosion one bit

workin on round 6
google sheets has been giving me a lot of trouble lately, first I couldn't ctrl-f and now I can't sort
which is kinda integral for this process <_<

seems to be a firefox issue that other people are also having

.....I don't wanna move all my sheets >_<

Tiebreakers:
Empoleon > Krokorok
Clodsire > Crobat
Falinks > Charmander > Annihilape

I'll check my results against ND's but I'd also appreciate an extra set of eyes if anybody's bored

I counted one more vote for Spheal and Flygon than ND did (bumping both of them up a spot in my rankings vs. his), doublechecking that, will edit

think my count stands, so we'll proceed!

ROUND 6 RULES
-3-way matches, three per day (2 on the last one).
-Winners advance, and are reseeded for Round 7.
-Ties for first will be resolved by runoff. Three way ties, and ties for second, will be resolved by me.
-Ranking ties will be resolved by place within match, then status of having tied for a higher/lower spot, then votes for, then total votes against, then myself.
-6 Pokemon received a bye for this round, also guaranteeing them the top seeds in Round 7.
-48 Pokemon enter, 20 Pokemon leave.

Decidueye vs Krookodile vs Dragapult is cruel

That's round 6 baybeeee
D1: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80891643

Umbreon and Spheal are two of like... top 5 for sure at least (I don't have that consistent a ranking). This is an unfortunate draw.

Umbreon (21) v. Spheal (16) v. Lapras (10)
Gengar (21) v. Zapdos (12) v. Ninetales (14)
Ampharos (17) v. Charizard (22) v. Mismagius (8)

three advancements and six eliminations in one day: high stakes

2/3 ain't bad, but none of that third group deserved to go out there.

Spheal got really hurt by that grouping

D2: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80892233

This round is a bloodbath.

Spheal (16)

Tragic

this was supposed to be the year of Spheal :/

Even a Save My Pokemon champion has limits.

There's nothing to be disappointed about anymore since everything I like is dead lmao

Galv is top 50!

Yeah, Spheal had a bad draw there

Weavile and Sneasler are both S-Tier Pokemon, Sneasel is mid A

one day I will make a definitive tier list of all 1025 Pokemon and it will bring world peace

Way ahead of you.

RIP Ampharos :(

Chandelure and Corviknight in the same group, ugh seriously

I mean, the right Poke won each group there, but I wish the 2nd place Pokes would have one more chance in a redemption round of some sort. Some of those were awesome, just in the wrong trio.

Coincidentally I actually did get an Umbreon plushie not long ago but gave it to my friend who is a big Umbreon fan. Who knows what would have happened if I kept it!

leaving town early in the morning for the weekend, so here are the results up to post 45:

Chandelure (23) v. Corviknight (8) v. Cyndaquil (13)
Metagross (15) v. Lugia (20) v. Gyarados (9)
Squirtle (19) v. Alakazam (14) v. Snorlax (11)

sad about Metagross

i won't be available to count until Sunday, but this round is super easy to do

D3: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80892734
I do not like this draw

RIP Alakazam

Rooting for Articuno now

D4: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80893264

since ND is busy here are some resultz (tallied with pen and paper lol)

Arcanine (23) v. Totodile (14) v. Greninja (11)
Bulbasaur (13) v. Tyrantrum (20) v. Eevee (15)
Decidueye (20) v. Krookodile (15) v. Dragapult (13)

very surprised by Tyrantrum, maybe gen 1 sff
