[Aquacorde]

i should talk to more people in general i guess LMAO i dont know us!!

 

[apro]

I'm with you on that, most of us flopped hard on this one, the maximum available points were 16

 

[Duck]

Oof, I did terribly on this one, lol.

 

[ReKoil]

omg... I originally had 'More than 75% Yes' on the second question and 'More than 50% Yes' on the first... then decided to swap them around....
shouldn't have changed my mind on them D=

I definitely got a bit insecure about where to gamble and where to play it safe due to a bigger group of participants.
Still got some points though =D

 

[Panda280]

I wonder what pokemon theme food did everyone eat?

 

[Aquacorde]

I wonder what pokemon theme food did everyone eat?

we made potato mochi
it was gross

 

[Panda280]

What does the potato mochi looks like? Pikachu?

 

[Aquacorde]

What does the potato mochi looks like? Pikachu?

honestly its just pokemon-themed because it was a staple food of legends arceus and we wouldnt have made it otherwise haha

 

[TwilightBlade]

Edit: short form looks very familiar so I think I've answered before

​

Leads with a very close vote. Picked Overworld as the #1 answer, with Elite Four or Champion as the #2.

The predictions:
A. Overworld: 7 (Hyzenthlay, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, X_K.V.Jin_X, Aquacorde, apro, 5qwerty)

​

Defied the prediction, however.

+2 points for Devalue, Aldo, Megan, Shooting Star, TwilightBlade, Count Dracularc, Groc, Mario-Man, Miau


8. Introduces a hypothetical new feature in Scarlet/Violet: Battle Culture. Converts some trainer encounters and wild Pokemon areas in the game to the battle type you select. Forces you to pick an option at the beginning of the game (because Game Freak). Locks in your choice for the duration of the story. Which would you choose?
A. Double Battles and Multi Battles: 15 (Devalue, Hyzenthlay, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, Aldo, Megan, X_K.V.Jin_X, Shooting Star, TwilightBlade, Juno, Aquacorde, Panda280, apro, Groc, Mario-Man)
B. Triple Battles and Horde Battles: 0
C. Rotation Battles: 1 (Miau)
D. Inverse Battles: 3 (Cubeth, Count Dracularc, 5qwerty)

​

Sent a clear message on this one. Won by an overwhelming majority. Wondered if Multi Battles would dissuade people. Appears not. Picked up some votes for Inverse Battles as the #2 answer.


The predictions:
A. Double Battles and Multi Battles: 14 (Devalue, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, Aldo, X_K.V.Jin_X, TwilightBlade, Juno, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Panda280, apro, 5qwerty, Groc, Mario-Man)
B. Triple Battles and Horde Battles: 4 (Hyzenthlay, Megan, Count Dracularc, Miau)
C. Rotation Battles: 0
D. Inverse Battles: 1 (Shooting Star)

​

Awards lots of points this round. Displayed a lot of confidence in the #1 answer.

+4 points to Devalue, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, Aldo, X_K.V.Jin_X, TwilightBlade, Juno, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Panda280, apro, 5qwerty, Groc, Mario-Man
+2 points to Shooting Star

A. Generation 1 through 7 mainline game: 7 (Devalue, Aldo, Megan, Shooting Star, Count Dracularc, 5qwerty, Groc)
B. Sword/Shield, Legends: Arceus, or Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl: 7 (Hyzenthlay, ReKoil, TwilightBlade, Juno, Aquacorde, Mario-Man, Miau)
C. Any other official Pokemon video game: 3 (_confused_piplup_, X_K.V.Jin_X, Cubeth)
D. A ROMhack or none of the above: 2 (Panda280, apro)

​

A neck-and-neck battle between old and new. Qualifies both as the #1 answer. Will not have a second most popular answer for this question.


The predictions:
A. Generation 1 through 7 mainline game: 3 (ReKoil, TwilightBlade, Juno)
B. Sword/Shield, Legends: Arceus, or Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl: 14 (Devalue, Hyzenthlay, _confused_piplup_, Megan, Shooting Star, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Count Dracularc, Panda280, apro, 5qwerty, Groc, Mario-Man, Miau)
C. Any other official Pokemon video game: 1 (X_K.V.Jin_X)
D. A ROMhack or none of the above: 1 (Aldo)

​

Almost upset the heavy favorite. Winds up being solid points for almost everyone instead.

+4 points for ReKoil, TwilightBlade, Juno, Devalue, Hyzenthlay, _confused_piplup_, Megan, Shooting Star, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Count Dracularc, Panda280, apro, 5qwerty, Groc, Mario-Man, Miau


10. Which of the following food items would you be the most interested in eating?
A. Big Malasada (from Sun/Moon): 6 (Hyzenthlay, Aldo, Cubeth, Panda280, apro, Miau)

B. Dazzling Honey (from Legends: Arceus): 1 (Count Dracularc)

C. Decorative Curry (from Sword/Shield): 5 (ReKoil, Megan, Shooting Star, Juno, Groc)

D. Dugtrio Sandwich Trio (from Cafe Remix): 7 (Devalue, _confused_piplup_, X_K.V.Jin_X, TwilightBlade, Aquacorde, 5qwerty, Mario-Man)

​

Selected the sandwich trio to eat by one vote. Seems to not have been dazzled by the artistry of Decorative Curry, instead opting for Big Malasada as the #2 pick.


The predictions:
A. Big Malasada: 7 (Aldo, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Panda280, apro, Groc, Mario-Man)
B. Dazzling Honey: 0
C. Decorative Curry: 6 (Devalue, Megan, Shooting Star, Juno, 5qwerty, Miau)
D. Dugtrio Sandwich Trio: 6 (Hyzenthlay, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, X_K.V.Jin_X, TwilightBlade, Count Dracularc)

​

Very evenly split predictions, much like the answers.

+4 points for Hyzenthlay, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, X_K.V.Jin_X, TwilightBlade, Count Dracularc
+2 points for Aldo, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Panda280, apro, Groc, Mario-Man


11. Of the following, which male main character design do you like the most?
A. Elio (Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon): 4 (Megan, Shooting Star, Cubeth, Aquacorde)

B. Ethan (Heart Gold/Soul Silver): 8 (Devalue, ReKoil, TwilightBlade, Juno, Panda280, apro, 5qwerty, Miau)

C. Hilbert (Black/White): 3 (Hyzenthlay, Aldo, Groc)

D. Red (Fire Red/Leaf Green): 4 (_confused_piplup_, X_K.V.Jin_X, Count Dracularc, Mario-Man)

​

Placed double the votes on Ethan than any other one design. Sticks Elio and Red with a tie for the #2 answer.


The predictions:
A. Elio: 2 (Aldo, Megan)
B. Ethan: 4 (Hyzenthlay, Cubeth, Panda280, Miau)
C. Hilbert: 3 (X_K.V.Jin_X, Count Dracularc, 5qwerty)
D. Red: 10 (Devalue, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, Shooting Star, TwilightBlade, Juno, Aquacorde, apro, Groc, Mario-Man)

​

Utterly abandoned Ethan in the predictions. (Fun activity: Look who voted for Ethan. Then look who predicted Ethan.) Noticed quite a few people predicting someone different than what they answered, in fairness.

+4 points for Hyzenthlay, Cubeth, Panda280, Miau
+2 points for Aldo, Megan, Devalue, ReKoil, _confused_piplup_, Shooting Star, TwilightBlade, Juno, Aquacorde, apro, Groc, Mario-Man


12. Of the following, which female main character design do you like the most?
A. Akari (Legends: Arceus): 5 (Megan, TwilightBlade, Juno, Aquacorde, Count Dracularc)

B. Dawn (Platinum): 5 (Hyzenthlay, _confused_piplup_, X_K.V.Jin_X, apro, Mario-Man)

C. Gloria (Sword/Shield): 3 (Devalue, Shooting Star, Groc)

D. May (Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire): 6 (ReKoil, Aldo, Cubeth, Panda280, 5qwerty, Miau)

​

Ends on the closest question of the section. Was a three-way tie with one vote left. Cast the final vote for May. Hands the #2 spot to Akari and Dawn.


The predictions:
A. Akari: 2 (Devalue, ReKoil)
B. Dawn: 11 (Hyzenthlay, _confused_piplup_, Megan, Shooting Star, TwilightBlade, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Count Dracularc, apro, 5qwerty, Mario-Man)
C. Gloria: 2 (Aldo, Panda280)
D. May: 4 (X_K.V.Jin_X, Juno, Groc, Miau)

​

Practically mirrors the male design predictions. Nearly shut out the heavy favorite from getting points.

+4 points for X_K.V.Jin_X, Juno, Groc, Miau
+2 points for Devalue, ReKoil, Hyzenthlay, _confused_piplup_, Megan, Shooting Star, TwilightBlade, Cubeth, Aquacorde, Count Dracularc, apro, 5qwerty, Mario-Man

[Megan]

I'm so horrible at this game... <_<

 

[Devalue]

Says the winner of the first game :3:

Interesting note: Led the scoreboard at 24 at the end of that game's multiple choice section. Matches the current leaders.

 

[Megan]

The other one was a lot smaller, though. Less people participating and most of them are mainly forum regulars whereas here the entire community (which includes the Discord which has arguably more active members) gets to play a part of it. In that regard the first time was most likely just a fluke. xD

 

[apro]

Phew, though I performed badly last time, I got a lot of points now, so it evens out

 

[Aquacorde]

oh wow i did way better on that lmfao

 

[Mario-Man]

Submitted the short answers form!

 

[Juno]

submitted my short answers via the google form, and Lozz has as well!

 

[Arcaneum]

Oh man, absolutely brutal rounds for me it seems, yikes!

 

[Hyzenthlay]

Multiple choice is fairly easy, but I tend to fall flat with the others where you can guess pretty much anything! Looking forward to the results :)

 

[5qwerty]

I actually legitimately trolled the multi choice with some of those last predictions. Forgot to keep in mind that other people probably thought the same as me, and also that my choice would at least bump up the "winning" rate of that choice.
