    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!

    And here they are: guy who is uncertain about his oversized beanie and with a weirdly large backpack, and girl with a scottish hat and big hiking shoes.

    I voted Victor because I like his hat more. But, I already can tell that he's in for an immediate losing battle... Gloria is fine, I don't have an issue with her/her design, but I prefer the clothes the dude wears. The button down red shirt > the grandma sweater on Gloria, like... no thanks!
     
    Love our Scottish queen Gloria

    I voted for the male protag this time. I haven't had a chance to play Sw/Sh with a female MC yet to really see how it's different. But even then, I made the character I played in Gen 8 '''Me''', so I strongly doubt anything I'd come up with as a character for the Fem-PC would be able to top that.
    (to be honest, if I hadn't made that character '''Me''', I'd have voted for Gloria here as well, SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [BAGPIPES START BLASTING])
     
    My vote is not the male protagonist. He looks more like a random background NPC than an actual trainer, and I can't stand his hat. I get rid of it as soon as possible.

    I remember making an old list on this site before SnS came out with a topic called 'What if Gen8 had no character customization?'. I'll try to find the link once I have time. I don't completely regret that thread because it garnered so many amusing replies, but I never would have guessed I would eventually grow to really dislike the protagonist of the game who matches my own gender, so…
     
    men never win these polls unless they're red or have no female counterpart huh
     
    Like I said earlier, guy's fashion is pretty samey, so not much going for them design-wise, which is the only real metric we can judge the ones that weren't Ash's traveling companions in the anime.

    Just the SV kids at this point. Though given the lack of customization with the school uniforms (seriously, who thought this was a good idea in a mainline game?), kind of wrapping up with a whimper.

    Hisui protagonists are also getting a poll, I think.
