It's User of the Year, but with Pokemon! And, y'know, a modified format, to fit the bajillion entries. 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.
-If you're muted by Para, or me, or whoever else is counting votes that day, that's rough, buddy.
-I can modify these rules however I want. Don't be the reason I do so.
-Please put extra effort into normal formatting and correct spelling so that the spreadsheets work properly!

ROUND 2 RULES
-Please use the spelling and formatting from the vote form
-Simple 2v2 matches.
-26 Pokemon received a bye.
-The 11 teams with the strongest performance (Vote differential, then total votes, then I break ties between teams, then order within team) receive R3 byes.
-Remaining teams are seeded for R3 by the same procedure
-730 Pokemon enter, 378 Pokemon leave

I don't hate charizard but it is very tempting to montreal screwjob that match while the big guns are down 0-1, for the lulz

probably already too late for that anyway

I feel like whenever I remember to vote in these, the left options are always much better than the right options.

Yeah uhh the left side has 5 Pokemon who I actively dislike so this is one of the most blatant cases of "my tastes are the opposite of popular opinion".

Also Muk is actually kind of cool for a gen 1 Pokemon, aside from having an Alolan Form who's really good the original has also secretly been getting better over the generations.

First match has me conflicted. Garchomp is my basic bitch favourite and Jugulis is pretty good too. I don't want to vote for Charizard but I'm nostalgic enough to put it in front of Meltan. I sure hope this doesn't bite me in the ass.

The second match was a bit tough. I like all four of these mons, but Absol is my favourite.
