5th Gen Arceus wins the Global Link Vote, much to the disappointment of PC members

    Mew

    I voted for Mew, since I never did get to go to any Mew events in the past... I also kinda want to see if the give him any hidden moves. Ability is non-existent but still... Mew. I only truly use Ditto for breeding anyway...

    However, I can tell why Arceus is in the lead.

    Reason 1: A level 10 Arceus? Good for proper training compared to any other event Arceus. 2: Many people missed the Game Stop events and any other event. That is a fact. Lastly: Some guy could be using multiple computers to spam a vote just because he REALLY wants Arceus. I could be right I could be wrong...

    Unfortunately, you don't need multiple computers to spam votes.

    All I'm hoping for is that the Pokemon release has a DW ability. :(

    What I meant was multiple computers for lots of spams each computer. In essence, one guy could put any Pokemon in the lead. Not actually a good thing...

    Also, now that I think about it, Ditto with Impostor wouldn't be to bad.

    Vote Ditto! Arceus doesn't have a Dream World ability, while Ditto has one of the coolest abilities in the game (Impostor - transforms automatically when you send it in, making it useful for once!). Arceus won the vote in Japan, and was released with a special move instead of a special ability... Hyper Beam. That's right, a TM move you can teach whenever you want. Although it's very unlikely Ditto will get a new move, its ability more than makes up for it.
    If you want to get an ordinary Pokémon you can already easily get on Wi-Fi, then go ahead and vote Arceus. On the other hand, if you're more adventurous and want something completely different that hasn't been released yet, vote Ditto!

    I voted for Ditto.

    Just because Arceus is currently in the lead doesn't mean it's going to be the one to be distributed, there is still another 20+ days of voting!

    That's not what I read on serebii's pokedex. I already voted for Deoxys. I don't want to use Gameshark for a Deoxys. I'd rather have a legit Pokemon.

    Deoxys gets 504 SPEED WITH A BENEFICIAL NATURE?! HMM...504 or 300...I pick 504...Deoxys is better. It has the highest Sp. Atk and the highest SPEED of all POKEMON! It's up there with Shuckle for high defense, Rampardos, high attack, and Blissey high HP.

    A Shroomish with Technician...is sorta like a Scizor with Technician...I already used a Scizor with Technician in HeartGold version.

    Most people send out their weakest Pokemon first...sure...let Ditto copy its weak stats...some trainers use Pokemon that don't have moves that are super effective against its type. Some people can just send out a weak Pokemon have Ditto lower its stats, switch out and attack with a better Pokemon.
    I waited 8 years for a Deoxys, and boy, do I want one!

    Transform doesn't work if the opponent is in SUBSTITUTE MODE...rendering it useless. Neither the ability nor the attack move, Transform, can be used when Zoroark is in Illusion mode! Useless against a Zoroark!

    Ditto can't Transform into an already Transformed Ditto.

    I bet all those guys at Smogon got a Zoroark prepared to take down that Ditto. Good luck battling Zoroark in Illusion form. I've seen the effect in a video on youtube of Ditto with the ability.

    Deoxys Stats:

    HP 50 (304)
    Atk 150 (438)
    Def 50 (218)
    Sp. Atk 150 (438)
    Sp. Def 50 (218)
    Speed 150 (438)

    (Atk, Sp. Atk, and Speed are 150 Base, 438 at beneficial nature.)

    Attack Form:

    HP 50 (304)
    Atk 180 (504)
    Def 20 (152)
    Sp. Atk 180 (504)
    Sp. Def 20 (152)
    Speed 150 (438)

    Defense Form:
    HP 50 (304)
    Atk 70 (262)
    Def 160 (460)
    Sp. Atk 70 (262)
    Sp. Def 160 (460)
    Speed 90 (306)

    Speed Form:
    HP 50 (304)
    Atk 95 (317)
    Def 90 (306)
    Sp. Atk 95 (317)
    Sp. Def 90 (306)
    Speed 180 (504)

    It can use Substitute so Ditto with Imposter can't Transform.
    Click to expand...

    Only Speed and Defense form aren't banned from competitive play, so comparing anything to Ditto competitively can't apply to the other forms.

    I don't think most people send out their weakest Pokemon first, I know I don't. There are Pokemon that are known to work well at opening matches but that doesn't mean that's their only role and implying that any competitive player would have any "weak" Pokemon on their team is strange. Also, there are many moves that can't do anything when the target is behind a substitute. Zoroark may see a rise in play, who knows? It'll be much more interesting than the "we have one chance to get any dream world ability we want? LET'S GET ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A DREAM WORLD ABILITY" strategy that you seem to be employing. :x

    ?? Why is Arceus in the lead? He doesn't have a DW ability!!

    This is very upsetting...don't need another Arceus, I have a billion of them already! And this one wouldn't be any special. -.-

    Why are people voting for a useless Pokemon that we already have??

    i voted for ditto

    why arceus? cant people just buy an action replay or something and cheat to get arceus? i know it cost like 20$ but still, we got an imposter ditto!
    besides, you cant use arceus for OU battles which makes it kinda useless for underaged kids

    you know what people say about arceus
    "Arceus is a stupid llama with a wheel stuck to it"

    oh and i got an arceus of my own
    i got myself another arceus by cheating and it was lv 13 :P
    i gave it away cuz it was extra
     

    Ho-Oh

    used Sacred Fire!

    (zomg herdier/audino in background, totally makes it awesome)

    Yeah that was pretty weird. :x But it's so true though, that basically everyone is all going for Arceus just cause :(

    I figured out some new ways to vote that might be more effective than the "known" ones and if they work, then Techniloom should rise in popularity soon. :x I HOPE!!!!

    (Also @ Black Bolt: Kids of all ages can play competitively, the under aged kids bit kind of confused me :x)
