Also Blastoise being in the Red group feels so very wrong!

Poor Spheal had to face the #1 seed of the round I think it could've snuck past some of the matches here.

Oh and I guess Bulbasaur and Eevee LFFd each other.

All 3 of my remaining 20-50 are in a group together and all 3 of my bottom 100 are in a group together.

Still a lot of good stuff left imo

The only things left that really shouldn't be here are Blastoise/Volcarona (I get that they're popular, but they're super SUPER overrated), and Lugia (I have ZERO idea how this thing is still around).

Yeah I agree that this is a rather standard set of favs, which makes sense of course. Fortunately I guess I have vanilla taste! The only pokemon I'm completely surprised to see here is Tyrantrum, and it's the only one of the top 20 I dislike >_>

B8's fav pokemon of each type:
Ice: Spheal
Normal: Eevee
Electric: Galvantula
Fairy: Mimikyu
Grass: Decidueye
Ground: Excadrill
Poison: Gengar
Psychic: Lugia
(and Water is guaranteed to be one of the Squirtle line lol)

I think Lugia is cool, prefer Ho-Oh but Aeroblast is a neat move. Tyrantrum is a T. rex and I guess there is also Tyranitar but that one is not quite a T Rex

also Lugia gets autocorrected to Luigi uh oh

Blastoise

Excadrill
Gengar
Typhlosion
Tyrantrum

Eh Sure
Dragonite
Heracross
Lugia
Mimikyu

No Thanks
Houndoom
Umbreon
Arcanine
Decidueye

For the record, I officially ranked my top 50, and those at the top are #3, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, and probably like #54 unofficially, so there's some good stuff left for me.

Don't dislike anyone at the bottom, either, but if one of those bottom 4 wins it all, I'll still be disappointed, given what else is left.

Mimikyu

Some very good beans:
Blastoise
Charizard
Arcanine

Perfectly fine but are most likely overrated:
Decidueye
Chandelure
Houndoom
Gengar
Galvantula
