Smogon's "Create a Pokemon" Part Deux: Poll 1

Hyra · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:27:19 PM

Okay, new Pokemon won out. Here are the percentages and such (bold votes only and counting people who bolded their vote changes):

51 votes - 57.30% New Pokemon
38 votes - 42.70% Evo Pokemon

Clearly, the new Pokemon option wins. This current poll is to decide the first type of the new Pokemon. The winner of this poll will go onto poll 2, which will consist of a pure type option and new secondary typings. I have narrowed the types we are voting on down to ten, so that it may fit into one poll. You may complain, but I have my reasons:

Steel - Not included because it won the last typing poll, even if it wasn't in the final product.
Ice - Hiya Syclant.
Bug - Hiya Syclant.
Water - Only Water/Fire and Water/Ghost don't exist. If one of those two wins, /Water will be an option on it.
Flying - Only pure Flying and Fight/Flying don't exist. If Fight wins, /Flying will be an option on it.
Normal - The most common typing ever, but is know for not having many duel types. Will be included on the winner of this poll as /Normal.
Dragon - Too powerful. Also, most OU dragons are 4x weak to Ice. I will conquer the Dragon hurdle in the next poll.

Types in this poll:
Dark
Electric
Fighting
Fire
Ghost
Grass
Ground
Poison
Psychic
Rock

Oh yah, this is a clicky poll.

Ah good, lets poll this thang! How many votes do we get Hyra? If it's only one then I think I'm going to vote for electric... idk why lol.

Hyra · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:31:57 PM

Oh, its one. Only one is winning, and I want to have a short poll.

Btw, I voted Ground because of how versatile it is. I still want my Ground/Fighting TTar destroyer.

GengarCrysis92 · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:32:34 PM

It is only one vote, unless you have multiple accounts. I voted Fire since thats my Fave type. Fire/Ghost or Firefighter ftw!

tdub13 · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:32:35 PM

Fire all the way, baby!

Missingno. Master · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:33:39 PM

I voted poison. Because I can. And all the cool Pokemon are poison type (Victreebel, Qwilfish, Skuntank, Drapion, Dustox, ect..)

Sunday · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:35:28 PM

Yeh the poll wasn't there when I posted. ANyway, I went Grass after being unable to decide for a while, I really want this one to be somekind of mixed wall. I was going to say fighting, but that'll just get everyone saying "Close COmbat!1!11!1"

Hyra · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:35:41 PM

Yay for utterly subjective polls.

@ Gengar:

No Fire/Fight. It already exists. I don't feel like repeating anything.

BlindSeraph · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:35:44 PM

Hmm. I voted ghost, I'm looking for maybe a ghost/fire type? A ghost/water would be cool too... Ghost/grass would be cool too lol.

Adamant_Torterra · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:36:09 PM

yeah grass is winning!

Lorak · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:36:41 PM

Water seems appropriate. I would love an aquatic ghost.

Wow. I totally forgot about Ape. Oh, lol. I feel stupid. Then yeah, I want to see a Fire/Ghost.

XCPetro5678 · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:37:41 PM

went with grass hoping for a fire dual-typing. You know you want it

Hyra · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:37:50 PM

Oh yah, types need 25% support to move onto the next poll, if there is one. If one type has a significant lead at this poll, we won't need a second one.

BubblegumAngie · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:39:31 PM

Oh yay, Grass is winning. <3

Justin Bailey · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:40:05 PM

I went and voted on Fire. Assuming this new Pokemon becomes OU, that tier can always use more Fire types.

Also, maybe I just hate Bronzong.

tdub13 · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:40:20 PM

Come on, isn't anyone turned on by the sound of a Fire type Wall?

Combusken+Blaziken say hi. i voted fighting because a fighting/grass, fighting/ghost, or fighting/flying sound very appealing to me. of course, NO close combat on the fighting ghost.

then vote ghost. Ghost/Water will be an option if Ghost wins.

Same thing to people complaing about the other types I discounted. All of them have a chance for returning, except for Dragon, which I need to decide on.

GengarCrysis92 · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:43:45 PM

We need more Fire types!

Justin Bailey · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:44:09 PM

I'm having terrible visions of a Fire/Water type wall with either Water Absorb or Levitate. Now it's just as annoying as Bronzong...and it doesn't make any sense whatsoever!

Missingno. Master · Jan 20th, 2008, 7:46:37 PM

Every time someone votes for something other than poison, somewhere, a Tentacool dies.

I was thinking more of a Fire/Grass wall thingie similar to Tangrowth. Much more powerful if in Sun, but will be limited to one end of the spectrum for attacks.

Also, Grass/Fighting exists in the evil form of Breloom. People, Serebii has a list of all combinations that already exist.
