Favorite Pokémon Tournament 2016: Electric (Sept. 13-20)

Pikachu. After playing Gold, where my Pikachu beat the crap outta those Champion's Dragonites, I kind of became emotionally attached to it. So, whichever game I play, the first 'mon I catch is a Pikachu, be it by cheat or anything else, I don't care.
So, yeah. Pikachu is my favourite electric type, and naturally, its line is the one I love the most.

Props to the people who voted Stunfisk.


I really like the Magnemite line, because it stuck on me. I used a Magnemite in my first White 2 playthrough. It evolved and became one of my best members. I was like 9 or 10 back then. The memories. (I can have memories of events that happened like 5 years ago, don't tear me apart okay)

I voted:
Magnemite family
Voltorb family
Elekid family
Zapdos
All Gen II Electric-types (except Pichu)
Electrike family
Shinx family
Rotom
Blitzle family
Joltik family
Galvantula family
Tynamo family
Helioptile family

Out of them, I love the Shinx and Tynamo families best.

Oh, man. That's great. I voted for:
1. Pikachu
2. Shinx
3. Zekrom
4. Heleoptile
But all are great.

Pachirisu all the way, adore that little cutie ♥

Raichu, Jolteon, Ampharos, Plusle/Minun (not sure why these are in the same slot), Heliolisk <3

They are designed to be paired together. They work off of each other. They have opposing charges. Also, they are recolours of one another.

I voted for:
1: Electrode
2: Zapdos
3: Lanturn
4: Minun
5: Elektross
6: Stunfisk

I would say my favorite Electric Pokemon is a tie between Electrode and Elektross.

Electrode has always been the original Turn 1 T-Wave, and he gets a lot of respect from me because of that. I've also always loved when you can mistake them for items in the various games.

Elektross has no weaknesses. Awesome. Plus I also like its eel design, I actually really like eel/serpent designs in pokemon. It also has a really great move pool.

This seems fun.
I voted for:

- Pikachu line
- Jolteon
- Zapdos
- Voltord line

Here are my votes!

Magnemite family - I used to be indifferent to the Magnemite family as the idea of magnets being Pokemon seemed quite boring to me but I loved using Magnezone in Pokemon B/W. Plus Magnemite and Magneton have neat designs, even if Magneton is just three Magnemites fused together.

Jolteon - I LOVE JOLTEON. It's definitely my favourite electric-type pokemon! I've always loved its design and I'm a huge fan of how it's speedy and has high special attack. I've never been very into using slow or defensive pokemon so Jolteon was a really great electric type to use for me.

Mareep family - Mareep is the most fluffy and adorable pokemon in existence. Ampharos has always been my go to electric type when I play HG/SS so I'm a huge fan of it as well. Plus I want to take the Ampharos at the Lighthouse for myself since it's so cute, aaa.

Shinx family - I loved using Luxray as a kid! It was one of the first pokemon I ever owned and I trained it as much as I could. Definitely one of my favourite Pokemon - it has such a cool design and it's a lion, out of all animals.

Rotom - It's a cool concept for a Pokemon! Plus who doesn't want a pokemon that can turn itself into a fan, washing machine, microwave, lawn mower and an electric socket? Talk about having multiple talents. I remember thinking Rotom was a legendary the first time I played Platinum so I was ecstatic when I caught one. I still think it's one of the most interesting Pokemon out there.

Stunfisk - OK, Stunfisk might actually be my second favourite electric type. It's a sea pancake, who doesn't love that!? It's the most lovable Pokemon out there. I always feel so bad when people don't like Stunfisk but I think it's great. I believe in Stunfisk.

I think I voted for way too many but those are some of my favourite electric types. Electric is one of my favourite types so I had a hard time picking between all of them!

The Shinx line, hands down. One of my very first Pokemon, I love it to pieces. Just a shame it never gets a Dark type addition.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the Electric-type poll this week!

In what can only be considered an upset, the winners of this year's Electric-type poll were Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray! Having won all 3 previous polls, Ampharos and family finished a distant third, behind both the eventual winners, and the ever popular Pikachu clan. Best of luck to Luxray in the final this November!
