I've done this style of poll contest once before, back in either Gen VII or Gen VIII, so why not try it again now? The rules are simple: each day, I'm going to post a poll for a given Pokemon typing, with each generation's roster of new Pokemon filling in that typing. You just need to look at what each generation had to offer, and select which generation you think brought the best new roster (for any reason; you could say that a single Pokemon was so good that it overwhelms everything else the generation spawned, or you could select a generation that may be more well-rounded that the one that created your personal favorite). At the end of the day, one generation will be crowned a champion (with potential tiebreakers if need be), and that generation will advance to a second round, where the eighteen winners, and fourteen strongest runner-ups will be sorted into a 32-entrant tournament to crown which generation produced the best overall roster of a single typing.
Yesterday's one-on-one contest saw a relatively strong showing from both entrants, but Gen V took a slight lead, and every time Gen III tried to cut into that lead, Gen V fought back and maintained a close, but safe final score to secure it's place in the tournament.
For today's contest, we have our last wild card to decide as the 32-seed just barely made the cut with two generations of Ghosts vying to make the top tier. Gen IV has some big names and evolutions holding its ranks, while Gen IX goes for quantity with a large number of new Pokemon among its number.
