Board 8 » Pokemon of the Year: Hub topic
It's User of the Year, but with Pokemon! And, y'know, a modified format to fit the bajillion pokemon. I could use help with votals!
-Rounds are posted whenever I get to them, daily-ish.
-Regardless of when they are posted, they will last 24 hours unless stated otherwise (ie they might overlap)
-No alt-voting
-No being a jerk
-No deleting posts, this will be enough of a headache to count already.
-No changing votes, see above.
-One Pokedex number, one entry. I believe that means you get Paradoxes but not Megas, -maxes, regionals, and Formes. You are welcome to factor that into your vote, or not, however you wish.
-I will never vote but I will serve as the final tiebreaker, including in seeding.
-I'm not unblocking people just so I can count their votes.
-I can modify these rules however I want. Don't be the reason I do so.

ROUND 1 RULES
-Give +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, and -3 to Pokemon however you see fit.
-Please use the Easy Vote form.
-Bottom three scores per division are eliminated (most divisions, 7/10 survive, but there are a few 11-mon divisions that will send 8 through)
-However, the top 11 scores from 8th (or 9th, in the bigger divisions) place finishers will survive.
-Top 26 scoring winners will receive a bye next round.
-1,025 Pokemon will enter, 730 will leave.

Google sheet (has all the info available, if you can follow my thought processes): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13DKkynMv81TbEDq5ENihw5qsc2GNY4Beb9Xb5e4YTfs/edit?usp=sharing

please send me thoughts and prayers, this is a terrible idea

I ain't posting all 102 divisions, please use the sheet if you want that info for round 1 >_> These divisions, and their names, are randomly assigned, but most things will be at least slightly seeded, going forward.

Think that covers it??
New name, new gender, same great Bolo flavor!

Can I have a redo where all the good Pokemon in today's first group and all the bad ones in the second group are better distributed? Thanks.
Change is weird.

Would I be allowed to register my alt @Dedf1sh as an authorized voter for me? It would allow me to vote from my phone while I'm at work. It's fine if not, I'll just get into the habit of voting nightly after I get home.
Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords.
With what? ROT-13? -CJayC
As long as you don't vote with both accounts, it's fine!

Those are the breaks in random distribution sometimes.

Yes and I am asking for preferential treatment that fixes things to my personal taste.
Change is weird.
Poison Jab
Scyther 66
Gliscor 34
Hydrapple 5
Whimsicott 2
Fletchinder -3
Overqwil -6
Glalie -9
Klawf -15
Cutiefly -32
Hypno -41

Cutiefly might've been my +3, dang! Hypno takes a big hit, maybe this won't be a Gen1 party after all!

Dragon Rage
Cubone 82
Noivern 30
Regice 11
Lunatone 2
Whiscash -2
Espathra -3
Slaking -4
Nacli -27
Dedenne -35
Elgyem -54

Very strong performance from Cubone, albeit in a weak division. I thought people liked Dedenne but guess not!

Dedenne fucking sucks rest in shit. Easily the worst Pikachu clone. Doesn't even have a good name

good results but I feel bad for Klawf, he deserved better

Oh I missed the first two. I like Cutiefly but doesn't seem my vote would have made a difference

Poor Klawf. :(

But phew, Glalie scraping by.
Change is weird.
I'm sad that people don't like Hypno. I've always had a soft spot for it

I missed the first 2 divisions as well, but I would have only really been interested in voting for Cutiefly/Whimsicott as the rest of the other Pokemon were a "whatever" to me.

Popular at school, but not as cool as azuarc , Guru Champ!
Wait, people dislike Nacli?
Klawf :(
It's not so impossible!
I was very surprised people were voting klawf down! He's so charismatic and he's a crab and crabs are the finest form of life.
I'm am hungry I want some lasaga
Klawf is a weird, rare case where it looks better in-game than in the official art.

But also boy is it annoying using one and seeing all those pop-ups every time its HP falls below half.
Change is weird.
Damn, Whimsicott barely misses out

edit: nvm, didn't realize only bottom 3 are eliminated

Klawf still has a chance if I'm reading the rules right!

Cutiefly noo
Klawf going is sad, but next up would have been Glalie or Overqwil, both of which I like more than Klawf.

Any headway on that D2 tally? Im eager to see how my boy, Hawlucha, did.
Give 'em hell Ukraine.

I had him pegged as like a +6, but there he is with a solid bronze medal!

Dud of the day: Type:Null
I figured legendaries and such should at least have a pretty easy time of the first couple rounds. This guy got a -56 in a division people were complaining was underpowered.

nooo Florges

I recently started to really like Florges and I don't know why. Maybe because of New Pokemon Snap. In general NPS gave me appreciation for a lot of Pokemon I didn't think twice about after seeing them in their natural habitat with cool animations

Very pleased with Dwebble's showing there.

This is just further proof that I know Barbaracle's sole fan
Type: Null got my -3 just because its name is so dumb

Yeah I think Id like type: bull if he didnt have such big digimon energy

even more than the ultra beasts. The stupid name doesnt help

Man, Grimer fucking sucks, guys

I love Muk so Grimer gets a pass from me. I think I wouldnt like grimer if Muk didnt exist. Something something nepotism

Type: Null looks like hes trying to digivolve into Pyramid Head.
The azuarc of the contest universe is long, but it bends toward Guruship.
Love the type: null lore where he needs to wear a stupid helmet to contain his power and then you take the helmet off and he still sucks

The florges hate is unwarranted. Florges is awesome. It was on my team in X/Y and it kinda kicked ass.

Hawlucha whooping that butt. Awesome.

I kind of wish we were eliminating the bottom 4 of each group.
Give 'em hell Ukraine.
I tried to keep things pretty close to UotY format where I could, so this is still kinda a glorified play-in/seeding round

We might just beat the GenWunner allegations! ....And if that's what happens WITH nostalgia, I'm kinda looking forward to Flamigo getting frickin obliterated.
