Favorite Pokémon Tournament 2016: Finale (Nov. 22 - Dec. 5)

[Brendino]

---

Welcome to the finale of the fourth annual Favorite Pokémon Tournament here in Pokémon General, where we will vote to determine the favorite Pokémon of the users here at the PokéCommunity! Beginning back in September, this tournament has lasted several months, as we've pitted almost all the Pokémon from different types together to determine the finalists for this poll. Now that we know who will be representing each type, it's time to vote, with the winner(s) being crowned champion, and earning the title of PokéCommunity's favorite Pokémon of 2016!

​

If you are new to the Favorite Pokémon Tournament, or would just like a refresher on the rules/process of the event, please take a look at the FAQ posted below (updated for the finale):​

Spoiler:

• You aren't required to pick just one Pokémon- you can vote for as many as you'd like to ensure one of your favorites is crowned champion!
• In the event of a tie at the end of the voting period, a three day run-off poll will begin, with the winner of that poll being crowned the champion.
  
• A special emblem depicting the winning Pokémon will be awarded to members who either vote and post in the finale thread, or posted in at least half of the preliminary voting threads.
• If there are any questions that you need answered, feel free to leave a comment in this thread or send a VM to Brendino to get it sorted out.

The Finalists:




​

 

[Brendino]

Well, it's here everyone- the finale of the 2016 FPT is upon us! As always, I've got to thank everyone for their participation, as if it weren't for you, this event wouldn't be nearly as successful as it has been over the last couple of years.

But, I'll stop talking now, and let you guys do the rest. May the best Pokemon win!!

 

[moon]

I like that some pokémon I really like have a chance to win this year (:

 

[KantoManto]

This has been going for years? Looks like I've stumbled upon a nice stable forum :)

Anyway there's so many great ones (Tyranitar, Gengar, Arcanine to name a few) but I'm sticking with one, my ultimate favourite

Mew


..two

 

[Mewtwolover]

Mewtwo - Simply the best Pokémon, it's so epic that it earns the victory.

 

[gimmepie]

I gave my votes to Lucario, Leafeon, Articuno and Feraligatr.
There was a few others on there I like but I don't want to give too many votes away lol

 

[Hikamaru]

I voted for Riolu line, Jirachi, Articuno, Togepi line, Helioptile line, Ralts line (last year's champion), the Latis and also the two Eeveelutions in contention aka Umbreon and Leafeon. Good luck to all the Pokemon facing off today!

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

For the finals, here are my votes:
Riolu line
Articuno
Rotom
Totodile line
Abra line
Mewtwo
Latias and Latios
Helioptile line
Gible line
Ralts line
Dratini line

 

[Mobile Tsk]

My favorites here are Articuno,Umbreon and Sneasel/Weavile. This was a great idea btw. Awesome way to get the community involved in a game related project right around the release of S+M.

 

[EC]

I voted Leafeon. That's it. That's my winner from this group. Bring it home, my friend.

 

[blue]

I voted for Shinx line, Leafon, Sneasel line, and Rotom. So basically.. pretty much everything Sinnoh.

 

[Hikamaru]

So basically.. pretty much everything Sinnoh.

Funny when you consider two 4th Gen Pokemon are leading currently. Also, I don't believe we've had a 4th Gen Pokemon claim the FPT champion title yet, and while one would say last year's winner Gallade was, it was part of a 3rd Gen evolution line and I'd mainly count cross-gen evos as the generation the rest of their line was from.

 

[Lemonski]

Of course I had to give my vote to the Gible line, because Garchomp is my favorite. So is Luxray though, so it was difficult to decide between the Gible line and the Shinx line.

 

[Nah]

I just made one selection: Garchomp.

also ew why is Leafeon leading rn

 

[Poké Bean]

Heracross FTW!

 

[FireSnow]

Not many Pokemon I'm a big fan of on this list so only voted for 2 lines

Growlithe line
Umbreon

It's been fun seeing all the results this year and I'm excited to see what happens in the end. May the best Pokemon win!

 

[ddrox13]

I voted for Shinx line, Leafon, Sneasel line, and Rotom. So basically.. pretty much everything Sinnoh.

You missed friend Gallade :(

Anyway, I had the same vote plus the Gallade line.

 

[LegendChu]

Leafeon {D:}?

I'm a bit surprised Mewtwo doesn't have too many votes, gotta vote for it.

Also Voted for the Shinx line.

P.S. - But still, Leafeon o_O?

Spoiler:

Leafeon, seriously -_-?

Pika Pika :chu:

 

[Hikamaru]

Looks like we're going to have to look forward to this year's emblem being a Leafeon. It's definitely looking like to be the most unexpected winner in FPT history.

 

[Road]

Agh I just noticed this but what an interesting idea! I feel bad coming in at the end, but I submitted my votes for the Latis, the Dratini line and Umbreon! None of my actual favorites are here (Typhlosion is one but it seems the Totodile line beat it out, bummer!), but 3rd gen is my favorite gen (and Latios my favorite Shiny ;3), Dragonair is super elegant, and Umbreon is going to be on my Moon team.

I'm surprised to see Leafeon is winning! I'm using one in my JPN Sun and it's actually doing me well, but I certainly didn't think it would be winning over Umbreon (or, like, anything else). Excited to see what happens in the end! :0
