Throw because he was useful in White and Sock is smelly.

Charicific December 5th, 2011 6:06 AM

I think Sawk is better for me, since it can sweep with Speed and Attack Power. Though, to be honest, I found Throh to be more life-saving for me, because I already have good Physical Sweepers. Throh was my Best ANTI-Darkrai Weapon :D !!! Toxic Orb+Protect= Poisoned (Sleep Wont affect me) + 50% Additional Power with Guts+Superpower > :)

It also took out an Arceus with one shot O_O

I like sawk, because he's blue & i'm more of an attacker person (with Pokemon) :P

Probably would be better with a Flame Orb =D Badly poisoned is not good x.x but nice work nonetheless!

True but....a burn would cut my Attack by 50 %!!!! Thus it can be useless. Paralysis will cause me a risk in loss of turn. I think Toxic will work best, afterall, I don't expect him to survive the whole battle ;)

Sawk, totally, it's low defense doesn't matter because of sturdy and then it can just sweep :)

Yoshikko December 6th, 2011 2:31 PM

while i can't stand either of them imma say throh on this one cause he looks cute in that art.

Silhouette December 6th, 2011 2:48 PM

I think they're both great in their own ways, but I found myself preferring Sawk. I guess Close Combat is better than Superpower in my opinion as well.

EDIT: And I prefer Conkeldurr as a Guts user to Throh.

Castgurl December 7th, 2011 4:53 PM

Sawk - Because he's Blue ;)

Magica December 7th, 2011 5:37 PM

I really don't like either...but if I had to choose, it would be Sawk. The coloration and all out attacker suits me more. Plus I like tall dudes more than chunky, short ones.

Mentalii December 8th, 2011 10:24 AM

I don't know why but I appreciate these two Pokémons.
They're original and at the same time not original at all, I can't really explain why I think that...
However I also think they don't look like Pokémon, and I it's not good.
Well, between both of them, I would choose Sawk.
I don't especially prefer it to Throh, but it looks tougher. And also, I prefer blue than red, no matter if it's not a decent reason :P

Sector December 9th, 2011 12:12 AM

Prefer Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee & Hitmontop....I don't like these fellas but that's just me, to throw in my opinion quickly

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ December 9th, 2011 5:21 AM

Since I don't like any of them, I would have to go with Throh because it has a higher defense.


:t354:TG

Palamon December 9th, 2011 3:06 PM

I like Sawk because of its design, cry and its Sturdy Ability. I also like Sawk because it was the first Pokemon I caught in the rustling grass.

Disko_Rock December 9th, 2011 3:27 PM

I think they're both great since I'm in my fighting type mood at the moment.

But so far I've only trained a Throh so I pick him.

Misheard Whisper December 9th, 2011 4:45 PM

I used a Throh named Brutus in my White runthrough, and he was very useful indeed, so my vote goes to the little red fella.

To be entirely honest, I don't really like either of them that much. They remind me too much of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street, and they both just look really grumpy.

Maple Leaf December 9th, 2011 8:23 PM

I haven't bothered using them, but I always prefer Pokemon with more Attack. :3 Therefore, I will vote for Sawk.

Charliezard December 9th, 2011 8:56 PM

Neither of them appeal to me but (somehow they remind me of Ernie and Bert...) I must say I prefer Sawk. I've always preferred offense to defense and Sawk just looks cooler (plus Bert is awesome).

Trance and Moss December 9th, 2011 9:58 PM

I used sawk in my black party, but only because I encountered him early.

tokyodrift December 10th, 2011 4:57 PM

I prefer Sawk over Throh, though both have their pros and cons. I've used Sawk in my Black run, and he plays out pretty well. Even with low defenses he's pretty fast and the Sturdy ability will help him dish out a hit or two before being KO'ed.

Mchopz December 11th, 2011 6:16 AM

I really like the design of both of them, partly because they remind me of the days when I used to do karate. But I have to say Sawk is the more preferred one in my opinion. I prefer a faster and more powerful play style, and with sturdy you really can't go wrong.

Ho-Oh December 11th, 2011 6:21 AM

It's pretty safe to say that Sawk has won, but hey in the next hour we could get lots of mass votes (of course everyone can continue posting in the thread), but yeah, unstickying (and also voted for Sawk just then!) and the new weekly poll will be up soon :)

Otherworld9) December 11th, 2011 6:34 AM

From my point of view, Sawk is probably my best bet. I like his color scheme, choice of battling, how cute his sprite in, and his battle cry is adorable compared to Troh. Unlike Troh, Sawk has some moves I've seen others use that Troh hasn't. I prefer speed over defense in the end.

dnomyar27 December 11th, 2011 9:45 AM

not really interested in fight type but
 
well, they are strong but i don't like fight type pokemon a lot, but if i decide between them, i'll take Sawk, it's blue, one of my fav colors lol

The Nightmare December 21st, 2011 9:22 PM

I would say throh because throh has better defense than sawk and sawk can be defeated easily with low defense.
