It's User of the Year, but with Pokemon! And, y'know, a modified format, to fit the bajillion entries. I could use help with votals! -Rounds are posted whenever I get to them, daily-ish. -Regardless of when they are posted, they will last 24 hours unless stated otherwise (ie they might overlap) -No alt-voting -No being a jerk -No deleting posts, this will be enough of a headache to count already. -No changing votes, see above. -One Pokedex number, one entry. I believe that means you get Paradoxes, but not Megas, -maxes, regionals, and Formes. You are welcome to factor that into your vote, or not, however you wish. -I will never vote, but I will serve as the final tiebreaker, including in seeding. -If you're muted by Para, or me, or whoever else is counting votes that day, that's rough, buddy. -I can modify these rules however I want. Don't be the reason I do so. -Please put extra effort into normal formatting and correct spelling so that the spreadsheets work properly! ROUND 1 RULES -Simple 2v2 matches. -26 Pokemon received a bye. -The 11 teams with the strongest performance (Vote differential, then total votes, then I break ties between teams, then order within team) receive R3 byes. -Remaining teams are seeded for R3 by the same procedure -730 Pokemon enter, 378 Pokemon leave Google sheet (has all the info available, if you can follow my thought processes): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13DKkynMv81TbEDq5ENihw5qsc2GNY4Beb9Xb5e4YTfs/edit?usp=sharing --- New name, new gender, same great Bolo flavor!

When Gen V makes something NEW, it's usually pretty good (elemental monkeys aside). It's the fact that Gen V has so many duplicates designed solely to replace stuff from previous generations...most of which are far inferior to the originals...which winds up biting the generation in the ass.

Some really good stuff out. Mostly predictable NFEs but some weird ones. Roselia and Ralts hovering around the bottom 100 or so surprises me a lot.

There's an argument to be made that score should be factored before rank-in-division, which would benefit the bottom 5 a lot and make Luvdisc the big loser. I'm not sure I like how I did it, but I'm not changing it midway.
