Poll of the Day > Why do so many polls have loaded responses?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I own a 3DS and I'm a Pokmon fan, but I'm not buying Ultra Sun and Moon. None of the responses apply to me.

They're badly made polls.

Because that's how people argue now.

That's my situation every other poll nowadays. I don't even vote in most polls because they have these extra details that aren't my situation at all.

Where's the option in this one for "No, I already have Pokemon Sun/Moon and I don't feel the need for Ultra"???

Or just "No" plain and simple?

they also don't have a "probably/maybe" buy option, except to say you aren't a pokemon fan

Today's poll is badly flawed and this topic clearly shows it. Here's a really good case exhibit showing the extent of your bad poll design:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6413-
https://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6875-

You can clearly see a major difference in the last 2 options. The 4th option had a much lower percentage in the first poll since Sun/Moon were the first games of a new generation, so there was clearly going to be more interest in those games in comparison to Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon. To be fair, even the first poll had the same flaw that was in today's poll, but it was less problematic since a larger percentage of voters were interested in Sun/Moon.

There's no real option to vote for if you're a Pokemon fan, but aren't interested in getting the game. Not all Pokemon fans are the same. Some are more casual fans, and you have the hardcore fans, and even those who fall in between the two. For the 4th option to include the text "but I'm not a Pokemon fan" is an insult here.

Have you considered just not voting?

Because on a shallow level they make the poll seem more interesting by making the answers seem more significant, even though it just makes the results less accurate

It also makes the polls overcomplicated to an unnecessary degree, turning away potential voters due to the complexity of the options.
