    This week, our POTW question was submitted by Azire, who came up with many great ideas for a poll. Because of his suggestion, he'll earn himself a special emblem. If you'd like to get one yourself, feel free to leave your ideas for a future POTW with your response, or you can send them to me in a VM. With that said, this week's poll question is:

    Which Pokémon do you prefer: Nidoqueen or Nidoking?

    This should be very interesting to see who the members of PokéCommunity side with. Now vote away!

    Spoiler:
     
    I personally prefer Nidoking, as its design looks much more vicious and serious. Competitively, I would say Nidoqueen. It's got higher defensive stats, making it a good support Pokémon. d:
     
    There isn't much in it for me but I'd most likely pick Nidoking out of the two.
     
    Long live the King!! I prefer Nidoking, for all possible reasons. I love his purple color scheme, he looks more dangerous than his Queen, His stat are more offensive, and his movepool is awesome.

    1) Get a Nidoking with Sheer Force
    2) Give it a Life Orb to hold
    3) Wreck house
    4) ???
    5) Make profit
     
    I voted Nidoking, because he just looks more dangerous/deadly than Nidoqueen looks. I also like the purple colour more than the blue.
     
    Awesome!! I'm glad you liked my ideas.

    I voted Nidoking because I prefer his more offensive presence over her defensive presence. Both are useful but I find myself putting Nidoking on more teams.

    Both Pokémon have a special place in my heart due to the fact Nidoran(F) was my first Pokémon ever. It was my first card, before I got my first game. From that point I set out to collect the evolutions and obviously the Male line as well. Luckily in Pokémon Red (my first game) both are available really early!!

    Unlike the other responses, I prefer Nidoking's Shiny form to his non Shiny. I used to prefer Nidoqueens non Shiny to her Shiny but I haven't bred a Shiny Nidoran(F) yet in XY. I suppose I should see what her Shiny form looks like in 3D.
     
    I myself am a fan of my offense-oriented strategies, especially with Nidoking because of Sheer Force. It let's you use random moves like Fire Blast that would just other wise seem strange. Nidoqueen I believe also has the same ability, but with the lower stats, Sheer Force isn't as viable.
     
    Nidoking of course. He's stronger, has a cooler design, and I have so much history with him.
    I like Nidoqueen as well, though!
     
    Nidoking ftw!

    Nidoking is just flat out better than Nidoqueen. better offensive stats, better move pool, better looks... not much more to say.
     
    I actually prefer Nidoqueen and think she's better than her male counterpart.

    Nidoqueen's better defenses are much more helpful in the OU/UU metagame and allows her to use a Modest nature. With 252 SpA EVs, she is actually stronger than a Timid Nidoking. Nidoqueen can also use her bulk to set up Stealth Rock or Toxic Spikes, or use a bulky Life Orb set to tank many hits and still be a large threat to the opponent.

    Both got better in XY with the addition of Fairy-types, though. I suppose Nidoking's better on hyperoffensive teams. Nidoking also looks slightly better than 'Queen.
     
    Wow, barely any votes have gone to Nidoqueen I see! :o

    I actually prefer her, I'm not even quite sure why. Maybe it's the design, and I always pick her over the king. Nidoking may be more on the offensive side and have a better movepool, but 'Queen still wins my vote. :3
     
    Going with the majority here and choosing Nidoking. I always thought his design was cooler, and makes better use of stats than Nidoqueen does.

    And let's not forget KING FONZ!
     
    I always kind of preferred Nidoking, and all in that family actually. The purple nidos. I think they are the best looking of the group of pokémon that have a similar build as they have. Nidoking, Rhydon, Aggron, Tyranitar etc... Nidoking is just enough elaborately/simply designed and it's poison/ground type is interesting. I still don't completely know what they based those families on. First I thought rabbits but, uh, poisonous ones who can control earth?
     
    I personally like nidoqueen's design more. I've always been one to choose a more gentle design over a more powerful looking one. Nidorina was also the first shiny pokemon I ever obtained so I'm probably a bit biased xD.
     
    I really thought female Nidoran was awesome because of the cute design (and as a partner in mystery dungeon) and so I voted for Nidoqueen because of the nostalgia. Maybe I was tempted by the competitive answers above as well.
     
    I've always liked Nidoking more than Niddoqueen. Maybe it's just the sheer badassery of Sheer Force and the better design. Although, I have to admit Nidoqueen is pretty cool.
