The main problem that I, along with others, have noticed is that elements like the stats and movepools are being decided by many who do not even battle in CAP. This is a problem considering that the only ones affected by the choices of CAP are the ones who battle with these Pokemon. The solution? Poll voting needs to be replaced by bold voting in the areas such as the: stats, attacking moves, counters and the complete movepool sections. The rest, to an extent, can be justified with a simple poll, but sections like these require crucial attention.
Poll voting is a great way of polling the general mass but the fact that many do not bother to take part of the CAP server is very disappointing and become of this bias develops. It has become obvious that there are those who vote for a specific option simply because a certain user has more influence, or a higher position than the rest of the other candidates. This leads to an ineffectual style of polling since, like mentioned over and over again, the only ones who ultimately are affected by this project are the ones who take the effort to get onto CAP and battle. So in the end, results are skewed and people who are affected are left unhappy.
Thus, I propose that we, instead of poll voting, should bold vote the specific areas mentioned above so that those who are truly affected by this will get the say instead of random people who randomly vote.

We should all be proud of the current progress we have achieved as a project. However, it seems that though we have many who are willing to share their idea, many of these ones do not even bother trying out the newly made Pokemon.If you are not an experienced member of the CAP community, it is strongly recommended that you do not post in this thread.
