Pokemon Power Bracket

[BHwolfgang]

Hi guys, so I was surfing the web like usual and I stumbled upon something really interesting!

So apparently on the US Pokemon website, there is this bracket of all the Legendary Pokemons from Gen. I to Gen IV. that are broken into four quarters (Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan).

The current three blank spots are for the three preliminary rounds showcasing the Legendary Birds (Articunos, Zapdos, Motres) going up against the Legendary Dogs (Raikou, Entei, Suicuine). There is no requirements to vote; all you need to do is go here and cast your vote now! Each phase will only last one week. Oh! Annnnd the winning Pokemon will be featured on a special t-shirt available at Hot Topic. Use this thread to share/discuss who you voted for and why and about the future matchups that is yet to come.

Round 2
Arceus vs. Celebi
Kyogre vs. Darkrai
Mewtwo vs. Latios
Dialga vs. Giratina​

I'm actually interested in the outcome of this. I personally am rooting for Rayquaza all the way. :) I'm expecting Mewtwo and Mew to dominate. Cute Legendaries like Shaymin, Celebi, and Jirachi might win the crowd over, however. It looks like Articuno isn't going to win. I don't think any of the Lake Guardians will win either...

This does actually look pretty interesting. Pretty sure that Pokémon like Mewtwo and Rayquaza are gonna be favourites to win here, but it'll still be pretty exciting to see the outcome. I guess I'd want Lugia to win, mainly because it's my favourite legendary, though I don't know how big the chances are.

Here in the first round I'm pretty sure Raikou would win, as is also pretty apparent by the amount of votes it has gotten, though I guess it just has more fans than Articuno. Psshh, it was always the third of the birds anyways :p

By the way, the first round is between Articuno and Raikou, not Suicune :D

 

[Oryx]

I don't think that Raikou vs. Suicune is for everyone. I have Raikou vs. Articuno and Suicune vs. Moltres. You might want to edit that, haha.

I want Mew to win!!

I'm treating it as a possible Download event for our games so I'm voting for what I would want as a Download.

Wish the Birds were doing better than they are. TTwTT

Thanks for pointing that out, ahaha.

I think Lugia has a very good run in its quarter, seeing as it only has to go up against Manaphy, Latias/Phione, Palkia/Regirock, and Rayquaza. Lugia is certainly one of my favourites as well. It's just frustrating to see your favourites going against one another.

Thank you for pointing that out ahaha.

I have this feeling that Mew is going to dominate its quarter.

I voted for Raikou but I really like Giratina to win.

Oak's quarter dominator: Arceus, Darkrai could be also the dominator since he's populair.
Elm's quarter dominator: Deoxys
Birch quarter dominator: Mewtwo or giratina
Rowan's quarter dominator: Rayquaza

 

[PlatinumDude]

I got Raikou vs. Articuno, Entei vs. Zapdos and Suicune vs. Moltres. I voted for Raikou, Zapdos and Suicune.

I really want Dialga or Palkia to win this one; they're 2 of my favorite legendaries.

 

[Plasmette]

My theory the winner will be a giveaway in the GL. OH GREAT, ANOTHER ARCEUS GIVEAWAY. YAAAAAY.
Even if Arceus will inevitably win, but I'm still voting for Diagla. Almost came close to voting for Ho-oh or Darkrai. Those two are some of the favourites.

oh wait IT 505'D ON ME. Wait, 505?

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

The only thing that disappointed me about this was that the preliminary rounds were between the legendary birds and beasts. I wish they'd been given access to the main bracket, instead of the Regis/the Lake guardians. In my opinion, they're much less distinctive and memorable... but what's done is done.

I'm rooting for Kyogre to win, as that's probably my favourite legendary. I can see older - and more retro - voters championing Mewtwo, and that wouldn't be the end of the world either. But, even still, I'll be interested in the outcome of this, if only to see what the current Pokemon fanbase thinks of the legendaries.

 

[Oryx]

COME ON EVERYONE VOTE OUT ARCEUS

Looks like a lot of landslides so far this week. I'm guessing the votes will be really uneven up until the very end when we only have the favorites against each other.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

Thank you for posting the link - I'm going to vote now!!!! :)

 

[Kenmoor]

Jirachi vs. Latios (winning by 54%) &
Shaymin vs. Giratina (winning by 55%)
Those matches seem to be the only ones that could actually be not a landslide. The rest are pretty much done. Though I wonder if these matches are randomized. Or put together by the staff. It also seems like the Hoenns are doing pretty bad. Well, other than Kyogre who's against Regice...
I wonder if the movie buffs are the ones voting?

 

[Plasmette]

Arceus is going to win, sadly. He gonna beat errrrryone.

 

[Kenmoor]

Well, we all can predict that much is going to happen. Though surprisingly the match between Raikou & Arceus (winning by 66%) isn't a landslide-ish or not one the heaviest landslides as opposed to (winning by 87%) Darkrai vs. Mesprit.
If things keep going this way we might see: Arceus vs. Celebi. That'll be interesting. Though, I'm afraid, God always wins... unless in the hands of an eight year old but pfft.
But Round Two don't start till 07/19.

 

[Oryx]

So the first part of Round 1 is over and the second one has started. No surprises in the winners, sad that Jirachi got beat out though.

MEW TIME YEAHHH

 

[Kenshin5]

Looks like the ones on the other side of the bracket aren't going to fair much better in terms of closeness. Closest one is Deoxys vs. Suicune with Deoxy winning with 69%. And that's probably cause Suicune had a featured game.

 

[Oryx]

Round 2! Looks like Arceus is being beat out which makes me really happy hahaha.

 

[Xander Olivieri]

I'm surprised that Celebi is beating Arceus in all honesty XD

Pretty cure majority of the people voting are like 10 year old children that are voting for random stuff XD

 

[Kanto_Johto]

I hate to admit it, but if I was a 10 year old now, I'd probably have voted for Arceus too.......

Voted Celebi though since Celebi is awesome, and if this decides an event/gift Pokemon, Celebi>Arceus in that respect.

 

[Porynoir]

Giratina is dominating it's quarter, even more than Mewtwo, so who knows. I don't want Mew2 to win, since we already had an event for it.
