Favorite Pokémon Tournament - Poison (September 1-8)

[Flushed]

I don't think I've ever actually used this Pokemon, but I have great appreciation for Arbok. Sick design, backwards name, you can't go wrong.

Voting for Nidos because I have to. Also, if using this thread as generic data, it basically proves a point I've already stated a long time ago. Interesting, though not worth writing about.

I really don't care who wins, to be honest, as long as I got my chips in for them girlie Nidos.

I personally like Poison types, but there are a few I don't like:

Zubat line: I don't really get the point of bats being part Poison type.
Gulpin line: Looks too plain and are bad to use competitively.
Seviper: A blatant Arbok clone. The only difference it its color.

Apart from these three evolutionary lines, I agree on with all the others' opinions on their selections.

My nickname should tell you who I voted for.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I have an appreciation for Koffing and Weezing so those. Weezing is one of my favorites as well, and tend to use it frequently.

NidoKIIIIINNNG! One of the most kickass designs in the whole game! I like Nidoqueen and Arbok a lot too.

 

[Ayselipera]

Love Nidoqueen and Crobat so I have to go with those. I had to do an other vote for Venomoth too tehe.

Zubat line - I know people really abhor Zubat, but I took a liking to them when I realized they could evolve into Crobat. And since then, whenever I run into a Zubat for the first time on a journey, I usually like to catch one and evolve it.

Nidoran families - Because gender differences and egg breeding confusion. (No but seriously Nidoking and Nidoqueen are great in terms of movepool.)

Because I don't think secondary-Poison counts, I won't include an "Other" vote.

tough decision since I hardly ever use poison types but I am going with nido king due to his great stats, and move pool plus he has helped me out alot in fire red.

 

[Elaitenstile]

I voted for Skorupi and Drapion simply because I like them.
Both aesthetically and in-game use. I prefer Drapion's typing and Skorupi's cute looks.
(Oh, and nice fangs. Good boy, good boy)

Probably because of the influence of the anime from back then, but Coffee Koffing has always been my favorite Poison-type. Its face amuses me.

 

[Semyaza]

I voted for the Zubat, NidoranF, and Skorupi lines.

- Crobat's perks have been listed several times already and vastly outweigh the irritation of wild Zubat/Golbat spam, as well as their general uselessness compared to other choices in battle.

- I have found Nidoqueen to be slightly more useful/bulky than Nidoking for her movepool and Sp. Def. stat.

- Finally, Drapion can be quite an underrated powerhouse if trained correctly. Those who haven't had one on their team at some point are really missing out.

Umm... Is this a joke? Why is the Zubat line winning?.. ._. That's like the most annoying Pokemon besides Tentacool.. what.. what are you guys smoking? Didn't you hate it whenever your in a cave and every 5 seconds a Zubat appears? xD ..anyway, I voted for Nidoking, I think it's just so badass. It was a tough decision between Nidoking and Swalot; Swalot, I'm currently using in my Pokemon Emerald game.

This week's round of voting has been the most successful to date, so thank you for coming back every week and making your voice heard! Faced with some tough competition, the Pokemon that cleared through the smog in order to win this week's voting were...

Spoiler:

The next round of voting should be very interesting, as we look into the afterlife for your favorite Ghost type Pokemon! Voting should be up shortly after you see this post, so get ready!
