Who is your favorite Pokemon of the choices listed?










Just a little topic series I was thinking of running to see just how long I'm willing to put up with it. The premise is simple: every day, ten Pokemon will be up for voting, you vote for your favorite. The top FIVE advance to the next day, where they'll face five new Pokemon. And then we see what can last the longest. Like I said, I'll probably get bored at some point, but until then, let's see if we can get through Gen II at least, shall we?

Also, when we reach the final days of the countdown, the contest will become a single-elimination series, with each round trimming the field one-by-one until we crown a single winner from Gen II. Jolteon is our Gen I champion and will face off against six other champions in the grand finals.

Also, feel free to discuss opinions and predictions and whatnot.

First off, Feraligatr scores a blowout. That's impressive. Second, every Pokemon in the roster was within two votes of, at the very least, forcing a tie to make it to day 52. Third, after the entire Cyndaquil line entered the day, only Cyndaquil itself leaves. And fourth, after Quilava got blown out, we had an extreme close race between Celebi and Lanturn, and the legendary gets one step closer to matching its predecessor, Mew, in terms of making a run to the endgame of this gauntlet. Only one batch of newbies left after today, then it's time for the sudden death finals once again!

At approximately 7:57 pm, Feraligatr, Crobat, Ampharos, and Espeon were all ahead of a 3-way tie for 5th. The tie was between Celebi, Heracross, and Totodile. I don't have a screenshot of it, but that's what I saw. There should be a tiebreaker between those three Pokemon. 52 votes were already cast between 7:57 and now. Now all of a sudden, there are 55, showing that having the poll open after the deadline is a problem.

Look at the percentages, vote numbers, and then the bars.

Of course the percentages, vote numbers, and the bars are going to be slightly different since we've gotten 6 votes after the deadline.

It looks a bit off since I tried the fake the screenshot, but this shows the difficulty in pulling off a faked screenshot.

I didn't actually screenshot the results at the deadline and was looking for a way to back up someone else's claim of the results he saw at the deadline.

I'm fine with a day off.

I never did get around to saying that I got a PM from the same user who reported there was a 3-way tie at the deadline. I didn't want to disappoint him by not making an attempt to back him up, so I tried to produce a screenshot. Sorry that this happened, but it would have been avoided completely if he never spotted the 3-way tie and posted about it. This could have also been avoided if he sent me a PM at least 30 minutes before the deadline alerting me to a potential tiebreaker situation so I could monitor the results.

As for Inviso, pinging me on the boards could have been an option if there's a possible chance he might not be around to view the results at the deadline.

I wasn't able to post a screenshot or post anything before or immediately after the deadline because I had to attend to a family emergency right after the deadline, so I couldn't do that. It didn't occur to me that I should've grabbed a screenshot of the results at the deadline. I figured the poll would've been closed or Inviso would've caught it. I think the fact that I rarely post should be a hint that the outcome I originally posted is in fact true. If it wasn't for the three extra votes after the deadline and before my original comment, I wouldn't have posted.

Instead, we're left with this controversy, and before Easter too. I really hate that this happened and I'm sorry I don't have picture proof of the results. I swear there were exactly 52 votes at the deadline and that the 3-way tie for 5th between Celebi, Heracross, and Totodile is correct. If you're still in doubt about this Inviso, I say the best thing to do is to redo the round, but this time either close the poll on time or have a dedicated user (that won't fake the screenshot; can't believe Luster did that here) screencap the results at the deadline and have them post the results if necessary.
