    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.
    Almia (Ranger 2): Kellyn wins, and breaks the streak of female protagonists winning!
    Oblivia (Ranger 3): Summer won across all polls - close on Twitter, but on the forums pretty one-sided.

    They are literally just Lucas and Dawn. Rei because the outfit looks better than it does on Akari.
     
    I have yet to play L-A, though when I finally get the chance to, I'll be playing as if it's a direct continuation of either my Platinum character's story, or my SP character's. (which is what I'm currently waiting on finishing before I start L-A) Both of which are female, the only deciding factor as to which one I pick is whether or not L-A has different skin tone options like BD/SP has. Regardless, it's 100% 'Akari' for me, due to my overwhelming love of both of those RP runs I did.
     
    I voted Lucas in Gen 4 because Dawn's clothing is horrifically unsuited for her region and would give her legs frostbite. That certainly isn't a problem now, since both trainers have much better clothing for the cold weather of Hisui, so Akari wins my vote today.
     
    As the best Pokémon game for the Switch, it also has some quite good protags! Even if they are just reskinned Lucas and Dawn isekai'd into Old Sinnoh, the approach to vestments and face expressions in this game is a welcome coat of paint. Akari for me, on this one.
     
    I'm biased to Akari, for reasons someone may know.
    I've always liked Dawn more than Lucas, though, and these designs don't really change much from the original DPPt protagonists (which, given how they ended up in Hisui, I assumed was intentional) so I don't tend to see these characters as different from Dawn and Lucas, just being in different circumstances, and the extra options for customization with hairstlyes and clothing is just a nice boost.
     
    Rei. Some of the design and clothing attributes that I'm not too favorable being on Lucas most of the time work wonders being on Rei. Probably because the Legends: Arceus protagonists are implicitly a little older than the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum duo.

    Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way regarding Dawn's design, especially compared to Lucas's in the region they're both in.

    I also feel the same when it comes to Gloria's and Marnie's designs in contrast to Victor's and Hop's in context of the mainland Galar region.
