So its probably late to bring it up, but could we have conceivably just be voting left/right on these rounds instead of naming the pokes? Or is that still hard?

Aria can make the final ruling but I count by scrolling through the topic eight times counting votes for each duo one at a time. I don't use crtl-f or anything so typos don't matter, but having the actual names is a lot easier at a glance than right/left would be

My policy is generally "whatever makes it easier for the vote counter" so that'd be a "please don't" then

Sunyshore Division
(42) Staraptor/Espeon v. Tadbulb/Drednaw (6)
(21) Cinccino/Liepard v. Bronzong/Chesnaught (27)
(27) Jirachi/Pumpkaboo v. Charjabug/Garganacl (21)
(32) Zoroark/Kadabra v. Applin/Corphish (16)

Star of the Day: Bronzong/Chesnaught
Managing an upset win makes this duo the automatic star. I've always loved Bronzong, glad to see other people do too.

Dud of the Day: Tadbulb/Drednaw
I don't want to give dud to the upset losers, they put up a good fight, so I'll just give it to these two for only getting six votes total.

Whats everyones strategy for voting? How much thought are you putting into every match?

sometimes I just skim over it and look for Pokemon I fucking hate, then vote for the other side

I haven't played a Pokemon since Sun/Moon and I missed a gen or two before that as well. I rarely recognize all of them by name, so I google their pictures and go off that. Really crappy Pokemon can drag down all but my absolute favorites, otherwise it's pretty easy just to pick the duo I like better.

I base it on the team. I've voted for teams that have my #2 or #3 choice because my favorite is saddled with a Pokemon I don't like at all.

If it's mostly equal, I tend to vote the lower seed. I want those upsets.

Alfornada Division
(42) Rotom/Lugia v. Shroomish/Ledyba (8)
(32) Groudon/Maushold v. Virizion/Kabuto (18)
(28) Chikorita/Butterfree v. Noibat/Fletchling (22)
(15) Wooloo/Slowpoke v. Politoed/Corvisquire (35)

Star of the Day: Politoed/Corvisquire
Another upset! Perhaps these two only won because Slowpoke's voters were too slow, but its still an accomplishment.

Dud of the Day: Noibat/Fletchling
I'm giving these two the dud because for awhile it looked like we might get a double upset today, but they faltered towards the end.

??? That upset is puzzling, especially given the margin. Do people hate Slowpoke or Wooloo, or are there just an inexplicable number of fans of Politoed? Or are we just getting people voting the underdog in a match without a heavy hitter? Corvisquire is pretty good but not that good.

Slowpoke > Politoed > Corvisquire > Wooloo

But the gap between the latter two is bigger than with the former, so I went Politoed/Corvisquire.

Chikorita is lucky that it got Butterfree as a teammate. Without someone strong, I think Noibat and Fletchling would have got the upset.

(36) Murkrow/Roserade v. Grookey/Bibarel (13)
(25) Rhydon/Tauros v. Koffing/Emolga (24)

Star of the Day: Rhydon/Tauros
Things looked dicey for most of the match, but these two managed to win in the end even if only by one vote!

Dud of the Day: Dugtrio/Grimer
For a day with three Gen 1 duos, these two were by far the weakest.
