    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.

    is this even a contest anymore? Lucas has the most boring design. So, Dawn.
     
    Always found Lucas' design to be on the awkward side. His DP front sprite feels particularly... off.

    Dawn, on the other hand, might be my second favorite female protag in terms of aesthetic. Also enjoyed her Pokémon Adventures counterpart.

    I don't like either Sinnoh protagonist, but at least Lucas has the common sense to wear clothing appropriate for the mainline games' coldest region. Dawn's miniskirt might be appropriate for Hoenn or Alola, but for the snowstorms of Mt. Coronet and Snowpoint City? Hell no.
     
    Most of the male PC designs are pretty bland. Red and Ethan were at least able to skate by on nostalgia because they didn't have female counterparts from the beginning (not to mention a divided opposition), but the rest of these are likely to be massacres.

    To be fair, like a lot of things from DP, that was fixed in Platinum.
     
    Dawn, and I literally took no time deciding. She gets my vote by a landslide, and she better win this poll by a landslide too.

    Easy Dawn. One of my favorite Pokemon RP protag runs was done with her character (who I called Ashley). I even started playing Platinum the first time with the male protag, but didn't really like his design, so I restarted my first run just to play as her instead.

    Not really. She might have a warmer coat in Platinum, but she still has exposed thighs. That would be extremely uncomfortable in colder areas, especially in Route 217 where she would have to walk in extremely deep snow.

    Yeah, I've always thought that too. And likewise in BDSP! Turns out she has superpowers.

    No, this is a pretty one-sided poll, and I can't say I'm surprised. Dawn has the power of anime on her side!
