    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.

    Thanks to PoryKid575 and Arcaneum for CSS.
     
    (first of all, yay Kris!:love:) I literally wouldn't even be on this site today were it not for Brendan lol. (called him something else, though) So I absolutely have to vote for him.

    Edit: I already knew May was going to landslide this, but I've gotta give the community my respect in not voting for her just because 'ShE's In ThE aNiMe!!!1!'.
    (and I do agree that male protag would be infinitly cooler with actual white hair)

    I picked Brendan as a kid because I assumed he had white hair and thought that was really cool. I have never felt more betrayed than when I found out that he was just wearing a goofy-looking hat.

    May all the way.
     
    /Shrugs May, I guess but like the rival versions of them suck.
     
    Blah. I'm abstaining from voting this time.

    May looked decent-ish in R/S, but every redesign of her since just got worse.

    Brendan has always been an ugly design, whether or not the white hair was a lie. Not bland and generic like most of the other male protagonists, but for the wrong reason.

    So, yeah, I cannot, in good faith, vote for either of these designs.
     
    I'm going with May this time around because Brendan is a FRAUD! It disappointed me so much when I learned his hair was not actually white but a hat. May also gets points because she became a central character in the anime. Plus I really like May's bandana. I love to wear bandanas.

    Spoiler:
     
    Like many others, I thought Brendan' hair are white, which made him infinitely more interesting than he actually is. May it is all the way. I like her original Ruby/Sapphire design the most, but I also like her ORAS contest design.
     
    Poll is closed, and on every platform this time May was the winner. Near a 2:1 ratio here to boot.

    Next week it's Sinnoh time! We're not including the Hisuian protagonists (Legends Arceus) - they'll get their own poll.
