Inviso 04/30/24 6:44:09 PM #1:	Which of these two Pokemon generation rosters is better? - Results (42 votes) 10. Gen I: Flying (Charizard, Butterfree, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Pidgeot, Spearow, Fearow, Zubat, Golbat, Farfetch'd, Doduo, Dodrio, Scyther, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Dragonite) 66.67% (28 votes) 28 23. Gen VII: Bug (Grubbin, Charjabug, Vikavolt, Cutiefly, Ribombee, Dewpider, Araquanid, Wimpod, Golisopod, Buzzwole, Pheromosa) 33.33% (14 votes) 14 I've done this style of poll contest once before, back in either Gen VII or Gen VIII, so why not try it again now? The rules are simple: each day, I'm going to post a poll for a given Pokemon typing, with each generation's roster of new Pokemon filling in that typing. You just need to look at what each generation had to offer, and select which generation you think brought the best new roster (for any reason; you could say that a single Pokemon was so good that it overwhelms everything else the generation spawned, or you could select a generation that may be more well-rounded that the one that created your personal favorite). At the end of the day, one generation will be crowned a champion (with potential tiebreakers if need be), and that generation will advance to a second round, where the eighteen winners, and fourteen strongest runner-ups will be sorted into a 32-entrant tournament to crown which generation produced the best overall roster of a single typing. The tournament has now begun. The discussion topic is here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80744044 and the bracket is here: https://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=478370 Yesterday was a match between Gen VII and Flying, and today is a match between Gen VII and Flying. This time around though, Flying isn't just the wild card, but rather Gen I's winning Flying roster. Meanwhile, Gen VII has its second and last remaining entry with Bug-types (ironically enough including a solid Fairy-type from yesterday as well). Will the type match-up play out as expected and give us our first single-type match-up? Or will Bug score the upset victory? --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.

GenesisSaga 05/01/24 10:15:23 AM #6:	I threw VII a pity vote because let's be real the legendary bird trio and Scyther alone clinch this for Gen I. I has a lot of bloat, NGL. Did there really need to be THREE Normal/Flying lines and a solo Normal/ Flying in the same generation ALL modeled after real life birds? That's rhetorical, but the answer is absolutely not, but I of course gets a pass because it was the pioneer. I'll never understand why Gyarados and Charizard got /Flying over /Dragon secondary, but at least that's rectified with their Megas so it is what it is. The more I think about it the less I think my VII vote was completely out of pity... Those Bugs are solid! --- That girl is poison...

The more I think about it the less I think my VII vote was completely out of pity... Those Bugs are solid! Mega Gyarados is Water/Dark, actually. But yeah, I think theyre not Dragon-types because of how defensively strong Dragon was in Gen 1. Sure, Charizard would still have weaknesses to rock and ground, but not to water (which was a key part of the starter trio). And Gyarados would effectively have no weaknesses, since Dragon negates the Grass and Electric weaknesses. --- Inviso's Most Adorabl-est Eeveelution Ever http://i.imgur.com/SSw6M9E.gif <cite>Espeon posted [p:980189644] in Best Pokem...
