FINALE




Welcome to the finale of the third 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 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 2015!



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

Now that you know what the tournament is all about, what are you waiting for? Polls will remain open until December 16th, so get voting!

Oh boy! this is so exciting! I wonder who will win!
Well to start things off, I'm voting for three of my favorite Pokemon all time. *drum roll*

The Treecko line! - this is my second favorite starter line all time, and has my favorite mega evolution is Sceptile. Anymore it is very difficult for me to do a run in RSE or ORAS and not choose this line for the sheer joy it brings me not to mention the badassery it has lol

Second is the Cyndaquil line! - this line, though not my favorite, is also home to many memories since it was part of my first experiences playing Pokemon in Crystal and Silver. The nostalgia i have for it brings back so of the best memories I have.

And Lastly, its Gible! - this Pokemon is just so darn adorable and has really grown on me the past few weeks. This little tyke is a surprising menace in battle while still keeping its adorableness at full capacity. Gible is just so intriguing to me as a Pokemon, thus why it has risen up the ranks for me.

I mainly voted only for the ones that really mattered to me here. It is sad we have no 5th Gen Pokemon contesting this year's championship, but there's always 2016 to look for.

Lapras: One of the few 1st Gen options I voted for, but that's mainly because I love its type and the fact it loves people riding on it.

Eevee & Sylveon: I would have voted all the Eevee line contenders here, but I mainly wanted to focus on these two because they're the ones I liked most.

Mareep line: I vote for the cute stuff, so no surprise here. This line has always been one of my fave Electric-types as well.

Ralts line: One of my fave 3rd Gen-based lines, and I loved Gardevoir even more now that the line had Fairy-type added on because it made them significantly better.

Aron line: I love this big guy, I don't know why. Plus I do think Aron is cute.

Snorunt line: I really love Ice-types with some interesting design, and this line is definitely one of them.

Froakie line: My second fave Water-type starter, and my fave of the Kalos trio. I love the ninja theme to the line, and it never failed me in my X playthrough.

I had to restrict myself to one vote this time. As much as I love many of the pokémon on the list, I can only choose the Cyndaquil line as Typhlosion is my favourite of all 721.

Other lines I'd love to see win if Typhlosion doesn't - Bulbasaur line, Lapras, Dragonite line or Sylveon.

AHHH AGGRON IS WINNING SOMEONE REMEDY THIS SITUATION POSTHASTE

VOTE FOR GALLADE, IS BEST POKEMON

Uhhh, anyway, heres what I voted for

Gallade, etc. - I have always loved the concept of Gallade (My arm is my sword!), and loved the sheer wallbreaking power of Gardevoir. Combine those two, and you have my top pick on this list.

Froslass, etc. - I despise Gallade with all my being, but Froslass has served me so well over the years, competitively and in-game, that it had to be said.

Jolteon - RIP Leafeon and Glaceon. Jolt was my first Eeveeloution, and I needed to throw an Electric type up there. The Mareep line is just baaaaad (pun completely intended)

Typhlosion, etc. and Venusaur, etc. - Im throwing these two together because they are on the list for the same 2 reasons. 1) in-game memories (In Venu's case, beating it with a Lv17 Spearow). 2) Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness (Bulba) and Sky (Cynda).

THINGS THAT DO NOT DESERVE TO BE THERE:
Greninja, etc. - Sooooo overrated
Lugia - If you are only putting 1 Legendary on the list, make it something that doesn't suck please
Eevee - Just no. Give me an actual Normal type, please
Sceptile, etc. - Of all the Grass starters not named Venusaur, you chose SCEPTILE? Come on PC, show more Torterra love

I must say, you guys must want such a lively tournament, adding in so many decent contenders of such variety. Venusaur, Ampharos and Metagross look pretty strong and Lucario is pretty much the P/D/Pt version of Pikachu. (Riolu and Pichu both hatch from an egg, get it?) I've seen at least a comment discouraging Lugia. (SS was awesome, shame upon you haters.)

Also, do I have to say it? I was really the only person who voted for Dragonite? No love for the original Dragon? Dragonite was there before we had Dragon Legendaries. The new legends owe their gratitude to the Dratini Line who paved the way in the Dragon Category. I'm kinda upset, but w/e. It's the world's fault if Dragonite doesn't win.

The show-stopper, I expect, is my good friend, Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion. I'm starting HG soon and will start with that one. If the Cyndaquil Line doesn't win, I'll cry.

I voted for the Froakie line, Umbreon, Sylveon and Lapras.

If I had to pick only one my vote would easily go to the Froakie line, good moves and awesome names and design! Froakie is such a cutester, Frogadier sophisticated and Greninja just plain cool! :)

In unranked order, I voted for Gengar, Scizor, Ampharos, Lugia (awesomest legendary!), Ralts line, and last but not least, Garchomp!

I was surprised to see Lugia as the only legendary on there, but it's great! Mostly for non-gameplay roles and backstory, but it's no slouch as a Pokemon fighter either.

Sorry to see no Nidoking or Heatran though :(

Since Mewtwo isn't in the final, I vote Gardevoir, it was second in the last year so now it's its time to win (hopefully 2016 is Mewtwo's turn).

I just hope Gengar doesn't win it again :[
Agreed, even Brendan admitted he doesn't want to make another Gengar emblem so I do hope something different wins the championship again.

This has been really fun to participate in the last several weeks :) Already can't wait for it to roll around again next year!

I picked Eevee and the Eeveelutions, Haunter line, Ampharos line, Lapras, Typhlosion line, Dragonair line, Aron line, and Lucario line. As much as I like the Ralts line, I'd rather like to see someone else win this one :z

Gengar should win this.

Also, those of you who vote for Froslass, remember you also vote for Glalie. And Eevee sucks and you should all find better Pokemon to like.

Ralts line hasn't won a FPT title yet, but Gengar did win it back in 2013 and Charizard (who weirdly didn't make it) was last year.

Oh, I was just saying that the line's so popular, they'll probably win this by a landslide. I know it's how some people felt about Charizard when he won last year's, but I'd honestly rather see someone else win it.

Not to say I don't like the Ralts line, I wouldn't be upset :P

I Voted for:

Bulbasaur Line - According to the Pokedex Bulbasaur was the first Pokemon and indeed was one of the first Pokemon I ever used. Also the first ever dual type starter. He was cute in the anime and he and his evolutions have helped me through many battles.

Eevee and Sylveon - I try and catch an Eevee in every playthrough and Sylveon is my favourite Eeveelution. It has a Unique Evolution method as well as a great Shiny and is an excellent representative for the Fairy Type.

Sceptile line - I pick this guy in every Hoenn Playthrough. An excellent design and great fun to use. Particularly its Mega Form. Also Treecko has one of the best Shinys in the game.

Gardevoir line - I have a Gardevoir on my team on every playthrough unless I am doing a Monotype. The Ralts line has a certain grace about it, are great fun to use and Shiny Mega Gardevoir may just be the best Shiny in the entire game.

Garchomp line - My favourite Dragon Type and it's nothing to do with Cynthia. It hits hard particularly with a Life Orb and it has an excellent design.
Currently playing - Omega Ruby Grass Monotype
