N also tanked badly, so I wouldn't take him over any Pokemon character people actually know and might care about, whether it's from the game or not.

Only Pokemon characters worth noming:

Bulbasaur
Charizard
Squrtile/Blastoise (lending towards latter)
Pikachu
Mewtwo

Don't bother with anything else. Red and Blue were only worth it for the Rivarly contest. Even Bulbasaur is iffy imo.

Mewtwo easily.

Though Mew could make a small dent in the bracket.

N was relatively new when he got in and the field that year was monstrous and virtually any character that had even a small push got in.


And if this contest will only have 128 characters, it will be tough for Brock or Misty to sneak in since Pikachu, Mewtwo, Charizard seem like safe bets to make the bracket.

Based on the Sporcle Gen 1 quiz, which has over 5 million plays, and discarding hard names to spell (Exeggcute and Exeggutor people probably remember but can't consistently spell), our best bet for "let's see how a generic Gen 1 Pokemon would do" looks like it would be Krabby, who is the least frequently remembered Pokemon who is also first in an evolutionary line. Shellder would be the next best option.

(Lickitung and Kingler are remembered less often, as are the above Eggs. Tangela is also very low)

You are basically throwing points away if you side with N over someone like Brock or Misty. Pokemon's strength lies in Gen 1. N doesn't even have Smash as back up like Lucario or Greninja.


Just to be clear: I would of course take Brock and Misty over N. I would take N over like, Blaine or Erika. Gen 1 is not a bottomless gold mine.

I wouldnt mind seeing more FF characters even though theyve all been looking weaker every contest. Im not really sure anybody from it that hasnt been in already would do too well though. Barret is possibly the strongest left that hasnt been in? I cant really see anybody from XV doing well. I think the problem is getting enough of those minor supporters together for them to get enough nominations. People are just picking Pokemon because there are still some with the potential to go far while FF is sorta tapped out here

Any strength Brock and Misty have would come from the anime, not them being Gen 1. I'd certainly take N over any other (non-Red/Blue) Gen 1 trainer.


A big issue with Brock and Misty will be the match pictures. When Brock and Misty are more likely to have their strength come from the anime, having a picture of their anime appearance would be most ideal to maximize their strength. The character design in the games generally differs from the design in the anime, which is a problem for Brock and Misty. However, I doubt Allen will allow us to use a picture of anime Brock/Misty, so we would be limited to their appearance in the games or any official artwork released by Nintendo (or the companies under their control).

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Brock#Artwork
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Misty#Artwork

Sprites wouldn't be an issue if they make it far enough to reach the sprite round. Out of the official artwork listed on the above 2 pages, I think FRLG Brock/Misty comes the closest to approximating their appearance in the anime. HGSS Misty in particular is quite terrible, but at least HGSS Brock is much better.

Anime art falls under official art. I don't see why it would be disallowed. Misty and Brock's official art look pretty much like they do in the anime so I'm not sure why you think this is a problem.

Great character from great game who never appeared in contests. Is also Japanese N64 platformer so that's a very Gamefaqs thing. I would nominate her if I had won the last guru.

I'll give props to Allen, he's really been loose with a lot of contest rules that he and Ceej used to be super strict about. He's been putting a lot of effort into the contests too, remember when he slowly revealed the characters in Summer 2013 like it was the Smash Bros Dojo or some shit? What a great time.
