[Poll] Vote on your favourite Protagonist! [2nd poll this week: Ranger regions! Ranger 2, 2-day-poll...]

[bobandbill]

Vote on your Favorite Protagonist!​

Hello and welcome to a new multi-platform event, that will last several weeks!

In this event, your objective is to vote for your favorite Pokémon protagonist across a series of polls. To begin, we will start by region*, and see who is the favourite protagonist from each area**. Afterwards, the winner will form a tournament round, where we will do 4 sets of up to 4*** winners, and then take the top two options from there into 2 sets of four, then a final poll.

Where can I vote?

You can vote for the first set of people in this thread at the top - the Kanto nominees! You can also vote on our social media pages: Twitter (will use its own poll system), Bluesky (a Google poll), Instagram (a Google poll) and Facebook (a Google poll). Yes, it's better to not go around voting multiple times, but we won't be monitoring things that closely. But don't cheat, that's just boring. This means the winner of each poll will be from all polls (here, Twitter, Google poll) added together, not per platform.

Polls will run roughly 4 days, and be posted every week as a new thread (or on social media, as a new post). We may speed things up for the spin-off regions.

Meanwhile, share some propaganda for your pick each week! Take about why you're voting for your character, and make fun of the others (respectfully, of course). We'll also use the results and input for a Daily article summarising the whole event once it ends.

* Hisui will be treated as separate to Sinnoh.
** Spinoff games will also be considered! Orre will feature, while we will also consider the Ranger games' regions separately, but lump the Snap/New Snap regions (and hence protagonists) together.
*** We may see what the Legends: Z-A protags look like before we hit the tournament phase... pending TPC(i). If so, we'll do a poll on them! Otherwise, one set of 4 polls will have less options... Or we can consider a second chance for the losing protag with the most amount of votes!

Rules

1. No Trolling - This includes things like voting on behalf of other users, inputting joke responses in the Google Forms, using bots or creating alt accounts to try and game the voting system, and other dishonest activities. Please don't do that stuff.
2. Have Fun - We all love Pokémon, and we hope that you derive enjoyment and have a good time with this event!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this event, feel free to contact bobandbill.

Previous Polls

Kanto: Red, in a narrow win over Leaf! Chase and Elaine were well behind.
Johto: Kris, in another narrow win over Gold! In fact, Gold won on the forums, but not in the other two platforms. Lyra was a distant third.
Hoenn: May, in the first clear victory in these series of polls. Brendan and his hat were no match.
Sinnoh: Dawn, who basically murdered poor Lucas in the polls.
Unova: Hilda, in a very narrow victory over Rosa (only 2 votes as the difference). This time third place had a respectable turnout (Hilbert), while Nate did okay but was comfortably fourth.
Orre: Wes won out - Michael got some votes especially on Twitter, but couldn't keep up with the cool teen.
Kalos (XY): Serena. It was even on Twitter, but everywhere else, especially on the forums, she ran out comfortably.
Alola: Selene won on each poll convincingly. Chicken hat too powerful!
Galar: Gloria was the victor... over Victor. Every poll was won.
Fiore (Ranger 1): Solana won by a couple votes, after the polls all together were tied! Lunick was so close there.

Here are today's contestants!

 

[Palamon]

I don't care for Kellyn because I never played him, so I'm voting Kate. They both aren't that great looking they're pretty normal.

 

[Rock_Salazar]

Both are too similar but I'll go with Kellyn. I never that was his name and I have to admit, it is unusual. Like I would have never thought that was his name.

And now I get to talk about Shadows of Almia. This game is damn good. Fantastic characters, engaging plot and lore surrounding Almia, a huge upgrade in terms of gameplay and mechanics, plus it is chock-full of content. Still remember this one sidequest about finding a nosepass for a guy, only for him to make fun of it and later be humbled by a grunt from the villain team. Or the most iconic moment of narrowly escaping a sinking ship. Or how you can give a speech to kids on why (or why not) being a ranger is a good thing. Played through it once as a kid but it was so memorable.

 

[Sheep]

Voted for Kellyn this time around - never played Ranger 2, but design-wise I do think I prefer him!

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

I like both of their designs a lot. That's the extent of my info on them, so I suppose I'll go with Kate.

 

[Explorer of Time]

I'm going with Kellyn. I don't have much of a preference here, but I think his hair is cooler. Plus, the guys need a win. Every winner except Red and Wes is currently a girl, and the latter only faced another boy in the polls.

 

[nl4real]

Continue the stomp, ladies!

Continue the stomp, ladies!

Not this time! Overall Kellyn won by 6 votes!



Next and last poll of the week, for the third Ranger game, will be up soonish.

I'm going with Kellyn. I don't have much of a preference here, but I think his hair is cooler. Plus, the guys need a win. Every winner except Red and Wes is currently a girl, and the latter only faced another boy in the polls.

If I had more time today I would have tried recreating that 'Homer in the lesbian bar' image meme highlighting this. :v But I did not.

While my bet on the next poll is a win for the female, I'm not so sure beyond that. I reckon the SV and Legends Z-A polls for instance will be closer than some of the blowouts we had before. And hey, the previous poll was initially a draw and could have easily swung the other way.
