Unless I forget which will probably happen a lot. - Feel free to nominate. Otherwise we'll be going in order. - You can vote on past days if you happen to miss them. - You may not change your vote once a day has ended. - If I suspect you of downvoting or upvoting, I will ignore your vote. -RULES-
Karrablast Clamping Pokemon Gen V TYPE: Bug Karrablast is most likely a combination of Greek kérato, "horn", and plastron, the underside of a shelled creature (what one would likely call its "belly"). It may also be a corruption of the word Carabidae, the family of ground beetles.
Escavalier Cavalry Pokemon Gen V TYPE: Bug/Steel Escavalier's name (both English and Japanese) derive from chevalier and escargot, knight and snail in French respectively. It may also be derived from the French term cavalier, which means "mounted soldier". It may also be related to the name Excalibur, the name given to King Arthur's sword.
Easy Vote Karrablast: Escavalier:

I sold my sig for gas money. SuperNiceDog just kicked my ass.
From: GenesisSaga | #036 XIII_rocks posted... Middles get crap because they are neither cute nor badass.
Alternatively they are both, but the qualities are so diluted at that point it's like "who the f*** cares".
This is so bad...
They are both cute and badass more often than they are neither, and I the f*** cares. It's a shame there aren't more like me tbqh!
I was just explaining why nobody but you really likes middle evos that much.
Yeah Krokorok is a good example of one that is both cute and badass and does both things WELL, but that's a rare one all told. Middles strike a nice balance between the two, but you lose appeal at both ends of the spectrum. It's like "I like badass things...but the Charizard is more badass than you, Charmeleon. I also like cute things...but Charmander is more cute than you are, Charmeleon. So why should I like you more than your evolutionary relatives?"

That's just so bad though! It's very rare when a middie is (near) unanimously acknowledged as the best of its line. In fact, so far there has been Dewott and... Dewott. >_>
There are a lot of people who like Ivysaur, Quilava, and Krokorok the best out of their lines, but for the most part middies just go forgotten all day, everyday and it saddens me because they're so much more awesome than they're given credit for. It's great when Dewott gets its due, but darn it 1/150 is not enough!

Karrablast: 0.4/10. Meh, the only reason it didn't get a zero was because I fed it to some Paras in an old RP of mine, and I gained some praise for that.
Escavalier: 7/10. It's plenty worth it's imagination; I haven't ever thought of seeing a knight bug before. But it falsely advertises high speed; this thing is slower than a jellyfish riding molasses down a hill in the Great Plains.

Ytterbium: That one element no one's going to pay attention to.
Guess that's why it placed the highest of its line and everyone but you likes it huh?
