I thought about it for a bit, and decided that I should kindly tell you to remove the last paragraph from
this post you made on my thread.
I'm sorry if it's wrong to do something like this even though I'm trying to request it in the nicest way possible but… not only is the thread you linked was a couple of years old, but it's most certainly not what I had in mind to 'acess popularity'.
What I had thought of as criteria for users to talk about unpopular mons they like was very simple: mons that
the users have seen be considered bad but the users like them. I just feel like it's recommended for people to use their own sources, like them simply saying 'I've seen this mon get a lot of flack on this website/forum/webpage but I don't think they are that bad'.
Well, that's just what I think anyway. So I deeply apologise if asking to remove something from a post is against the rules, but hey, I made that thread. I just generally reccomend the use of people's own sources, even if they only mention it. I just find that to be more creative.
So again, I kindly suggest removing the link to the old popularity poll in your post, please. Thank you for your understanding and I hope everything is going fine where you are.
Fails to see the problem, though. Counts as a user too. Looked for a source of what was popular to determine if certain Pokemon counted or not when posting. Cited it, in case others thought [X] was popular. Put it forward as an option for others to use too, as a time-save. Neither required people to look at it nor held it up as the be-all and end-all ranking. Only covers the top 50 of Generations 1-8, after all, with probably no more than 20 voters.
Could change it to something like "Personally used PokeCommunity's Top 50 Favorite Pokemon (from 2021) as a means of determining what was popular. Covers only a handful of opinions, though." Is that better?
