Favorite Pokémon Tournament 2014 - Grass
 
http://i.imgur.com/ZwuRJiF.png




Welcome to the second annual Favorite Pokémon Tournament here in the Pokémon Polls board, where our goal is to determine the favorite Pokémon of the users here at the PokéCommunity! This will be a tournament that lasts several months, where we'll pit almost all the Pokémon from different types together to determine a winner. After we know the winner of each type, we'll add all of those Pokémon to a final poll, where the winner(s) will be crowned champion, and be known as PokéCommunity's favorite Pokémon!

If you haven't had the opportunity, please read the Rules/FAQ to find out more about the tournament:


Spoiler:


  • Every week, two new polls will be stickied at the top of the Pokémon Polls board. Each thread will include a different elemental type, and the list of Pokémon to vote from.
  • You aren’t required to pick just one Pokémon- you can vote for as many as you like to ensure your favorites get through. The Pokémon with the most votes at the end of the week will face off against the other winning Pokémon in a final poll to crown the champion!
  • In order to preserve space, we’ve grouped all of the applicable evolutions in a Pokémon family together. Some Pokémon (ex.: the Nidoran families) may be exempt from this rule.
  • For every poll, at least one runner-up will be added to a wildcard poll before the finale. This will give these Pokémon a shot at redemption, and one more opportunity to win the tournament.
  • In the event of a tie at the end of the week, Brendino will have the tie-breaking vote. Pokémon tied for first that aren't selected will be immediately entered into one of the wildcard polls.
  • Furthermore, members who vote and post for a majority of weeks during the tournament will receive an emblem depicting the winning Pokémon!
  • 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.




NOTE: Because of the limited number of poll spaces, not all eligible Pokémon have been included. If you want to vote for an unlisted Grass-type, check the "Other Pokémon" option represented by a (?), and leave a post with your vote.

Now that you know what the tournament is all about, what are you waiting for? Polls will remain open until November 2nd, so get voting!

Ooh how exciting I'm the first to vote! :)


I voted for Sceptile, Leafeon and Meganium and for the ones not on the list, my favourites are Parasect, Sawsbuck and Wormadam (Plant Cloak) :)


Sceptile's my all-time favourite starter and the one that managed to tear me away from sticking religiously to the Fire-type ones haha (also don't even get me started on the Mega!! Oh. My. Word. Cannot wait to use it!!); Leafeon's my third favourite Eeveelution and I actually only really got into it come Gen 6 when I tried one out on X - it's now part of my competitive (well, I say competitive lol it's really just the team I use whenever a Passer By challenges me haha) battling team and Meganium because the Johto starters are life and it did so well for me in my SS playthrough - the only time I defeated Red I had a Meganium on my team so it's hard to forget that haha :)

devilliers_steyn October 25th, 2014 9:17 PM

voted for turtwig
it is superbly powerful when it evolves into torterra
cause it can sweep fire types with earthquake

Vinny Vidi Vici October 25th, 2014 10:29 PM

I went with Whimsicott and Venusaur.

Hikamaru October 26th, 2014 4:11 AM

Here's the flowery delights that I picked from the garden:

Bulbasaur line: My fave of the Kanto starters, which are my least fave starter trio. Main reason probably because its line shows good design progression.

Chespin line: Kalos all have really great starters, and it's also the first non-reptilian Grass starter which is definitely a welcome change. Pretty tanky and a hard hitter at the same time, and I love Chesnaught's knight/fighter design concept which ties in with the other Kalos starters being based on RPG classes.

Snivy line: Again, another one with a good design concept and I love the European-like inspiration that went into designing Serperior. It's fast, may not hit hard but it's quite good in support roles.

Treecko line: Second fave of Hoenn's starters for me, and Sceptile even got a long-awaited Grass/Dragon typing which was something we all wanted to see.

Skiddo line: Always wanted a goat for a Pokemon, and it's one with fairly good offensive stats and learns some interesting moves.

Oddish line: One of my fave older generation Grass-type families, and it's kinda interesting how Bellossom looks so different to the rest of the line by being pure-Grass and having a different look.

Hoppip line: Cute and again good design progression, being based on the different phases of a dandelion.

Petilil line: Lilligant is such a destroyer with Quiver Dance + Petal Dance + Own Tempo, may not be the best thing competitively but in-game it's a different story.

Cottonee line: Unova's resident version exclusive Grass duo are both adorable as heck, and while Lilligant's more of an attacker, Whimsicott is more of a supporter which it abuses well with Prankster. And did we mention it's now also a Fairy-type?

Leafeon: Another Eeveelution, and for a while before 4th Gen we always wanted a Grass Eeveelution. Wish eventually granted, albeit with an unusual evolution method.

Shaymin & Celebi: Cute Grass-type legendaries for the win!

pkmin3033 October 26th, 2014 4:33 AM

Putting in three votes this time, because it's impossible to choose between them~

First up is the Bulbasaur line. Whilst I started with Charmander in my first game, I've always been fond of Bulbasaur and it's evolutions.

Second is the Turtwig line, because Torterra is amazing. xD

Third is Lilligant. I adore Lilligant. It's graceful, elegant and whilst I guess it's just a nicer looking version of Bellossom, it's still one of the nicer grass-type designs.

Logical Cabbage October 26th, 2014 4:37 AM

1. Turtwig

He is so cute and awesome, and is by far my favorite grass starter! Plus, I do love them ground types!

2. Snivy

At first it was just cute, but then over time, it earned a worthy spot as second favorite starter. I never knew a Dragon Tail was that powerful.

Other Vote: Breloom because it is an awesome duo grass fight. Very weak to birds, but that's okay with me.

3. Leafeon

That gets a vote for being an Eeveelution.

4. Celebi and Shaymin

Cause I love their powers.

classiccartoonsftw October 26th, 2014 5:23 AM

I'm voting for Venusaur, Victreebel, Jumpluff, Celebi, Sceptile, Ludicolo, Breloom, Cradily, Roserade, Abomasnow, Leafeon, Serperior, Simisage, Lilligant, Ferrothorn, Gogoat, and Trevenant. Jumpluff, Celebi, Breloom, Leafeon, and Lilligant are adorable, and so is Roserade to an extent. And the others are just really awesome, in my opinion.

Nah October 26th, 2014 6:07 AM

Grass is one of those types I don't have particularly strong feelings for, but there's still a few that get a vote from me: Sceptile, Roserade, and then I selected Other for Cradily.

I guess I tend to lean towards reptilian Pokemon, so Sceptile gets in because of that, even though it's offensive stats don't quite match up with its movepool. It also gets a cool Grass/Dragon mega evolution, which is a plus.

Roserade I have this love-hate relationship with. It's an elegantly designed Pokemon with decent stats and movepool, so it's fun to use. On the other hand, it gave me so much trouble on my Rock monotype in Platinum. I kid you not when I say that Gardenia's and Cynthia's Roserades were one of the hardest things for me to fight in years.

Cradily: That **** be cray cray

Mawa October 26th, 2014 7:12 AM

(I almost vote for all grass type starters)

I voted for Serperior. It is one of my favorite starter of all. I like the desing and I love black/ehite when I picked it for starter!

I voted for other (Sawsbuck) because it was one of my favorite pokemon in my team in black/white. I love that it is part normal because I like to have a normal in my team. And he's soooo cute!! I love the autumn form!

I voted for Victreebell, one of my favorite poison/grass pokemon. I loved him in the anime!!

bunny24680 October 26th, 2014 7:13 AM

Well, i don't wanna say that by I'm rather disappointed not to see my favourite grass pokemon family not in the poll options: Cacnea and Cacturne.

Man! They are awesome grass pokemon. They are not that cute flowery things that we expect of grass type. They are THORNY! Both can do various absorbing and punch like moves. Cacturne looks so awesome and in a way horrifyin too! and the move NEEDLE ARM is just what completes my likeness for them....

I know it may be hard to do so, but I rather wish that all families of a particular type should be there in the polls........
(By the way, I also like torterra family, so I voted for them: Torterra looks damn awesome especially when Ash's used leaf storm in anime)

TwilightBlade October 26th, 2014 7:16 AM

My favorite Grass type would be Whimsicott. I fell in love with its design when I first saw it. It's one of my top 3 favorites.

Hiatus October 26th, 2014 7:01 PM

Definitely Whimsicott. Its design looks super-adorable, especially for an evolved Pokémon (which tend to lack in cuteness, generally, but Whimsicott managed to pull through), and when it comes to battling, it could be very fun to utilize and whatnot.

It's got Prankster ability, as most of us already know, which allows this Pokémon to strike first when hitting with non-damaging moves, such as Taunt, Encore, Leech Seed, and various other things that it has access to. All-together, they make it very fun to utilize, and could stall your foe for gargantuan amount of turns. Have used it plenty of times before, and not once has it managed to disappoint.

Second favorite would likely have to be Gogoat. Unlike some other Pokémon, we're able to ride this one in-game, which I find to be a pretty cool feature. Appearance-wise, it looks pretty great, too; it's meant to be a goat, which it definitely does seem like!

Espeon Master October 26th, 2014 7:21 PM

Ivysaur! (bulbasaur, venusaur) My favorite starter and my second favorite pokemon overall! Plus Mega Venusaur rocks competetitively, love it.

Also voted for Meganium and Tropius. Love their designs and had good times using them in game in the past.

Bellsprout October 27th, 2014 8:07 AM

Finally!!!!!!

Bulbasaur line, Oddish line, Bellsprout line, Paras line, Hoppip line, Lileep line, Maractus, Pumpkaboo line.

Dedenne1 October 27th, 2014 1:01 PM

Leafeon, Serperior, and Torterra are my 3 i hate poison and grass its way over used and not that powerful. Anyone else wondering wheres trevenant? That one of my favs too.

Flushed October 27th, 2014 4:22 PM

My favorite line is Pumpkaboo, and what do ya know, Grass and Ghost both happen to be featured this week. But yeah besides them I voted Roserade and Torterra, some nostalgic gen IV 'mons (bc gen IV was nostalgic lol).

Entermaid October 27th, 2014 6:59 PM

I voted excessively given that grass is my favorite type.

1. Petilil Line
2. Snivy Line
3. Pumpkaboo Line
4. Budew Line
5. Sewaddle Line (???)
6. Virizion
7. Cottonee Line
8. Chikorita Line
9. Oddish Line


Honorable mentions:
Phantump/Trevenant, Sawsbuck, Tropius, Ludicolo, Cherrim, Bulbasaur line, Hoppip Line, Cradilly

Groc October 27th, 2014 9:45 PM

Bulbasaur, Bellsprout, Treecko, and Turtwig.

Bulbasaur is the original, and even if people call him "Easy Mode" he more than earns our respect. His diverse movepool makes him highly modifiable, and viable with almost any strategy.Although he specializes in damage over time and draining, he also can pack quite a punch with his Solar Beam, or the old faithful Razor Leaf.

Bellsprout may seem like the poor man's Bulbasaur, but he has enough variety to stand on his own. I just wish Victreebel actually had a proper cry in the anime, instead of that falsetto shriek.

Treecko is a speedy little lizard who focuses on physical attack, but still utilizes the tricks of the Grass trade, such as draining.

Turtwig, or more accurately Torterra, may be my favorite starter of them all. He has strength, he has versatility, he has an awesome design, and he has never let me down.

Corvus of the Black Night October 28th, 2014 4:25 AM

I like grass types! I voted for Chikorita, Treecko, Virizion and Skiddo as my favourites, but I have a lot more that I like too.

MurkMire October 28th, 2014 11:27 AM

I vote not only Bellpsrout's line, but also Cancea/Cacturne and Carnivine. <3

PumpJack October 28th, 2014 5:47 PM

This was a very weird poll in that it made me realise that I like Grass types a lot more than I thought I did- I selected over half of the options.

ShadowsofTime October 28th, 2014 6:56 PM

Little little flowers, I love your Petal Power, and how I adore thee, my itty-little Celebi!


I also voted for Shaymin and Leafeon :P

applemonster October 29th, 2014 1:30 AM

I selected other. My favourite Grass is Sunflora!
A funny little flower that makes me grin whenever i am reminded of Plants vs. Zombees

Firox October 29th, 2014 6:52 AM

Only voted for a few Pokemon this time - mainly two starters - Snivy/Servine/Serperior and Chespin/Quilladin/Chestnaught -

my main vote goes to Leafeon, my most favorite grass type Pokemon
