The Topic Leader is arguably the most important leadership position in the project during the Create-A-Pokemon Project. For the next few months, they will guide our topics and discussions. As a result, it is imperative that we pick someone that will do a good job. Remember, anyone can vote in this thread! Here, we'll be voting only for Topic Leader (TL). The Topic Leadership Team (TLT) will be voted on in the next leadership poll thread in one day's time.

Here is the list of self-nominated candidates (in the order they submitted their candidacy):

The candidacy announcements are all found within this thread:


Please review all the information in that thread in order to adequately inform your decision. Note that many of the applicants this time around prefer to lead specific sections of the process!

Here's how to vote:
  • All CAP community members are allowed to vote. This means that if you have a registered Smogon account, you can vote.
  • Please post the candidate name of preference. Like so:
Preferred Candidate

If the voter wishes, he/she may post comments on his vote below the actual vote. As with IRV or normal bold voting, only the votes themselves should be bold and none of the supplementary text should be bold.

  • Please post only your votes in this thread. Do not respond to other posts, or your posts will be moderated and you warned. If you feel compelled to say something in your own vote, you may still do so, but don't try to incite a discussion. Keep discussion to #cap.
  • If you do not complete a full ranked ballot, as prescribed here, your ballot will be deleted. So, please take the time to evaluate all the candidates and compose a proper ranked ballot.
  • This poll will be run with PBV voting (a form of IRV which re-runs the counting, each time removing the previously top-ranked candidate), the details of which are outlined here.

Asking for votes for your submission or for the submissions of others is not allowed. Anyone found to have done so risks punishment at the moderation team's discretion. If you find that someone has broken this rule, please contact the CAP moderation team with your evidence and no one else. Mini-moderation of this rule is also considered a serious offense and can be punished.

This thread will be open for 24 hours.

Good luck to all candidates!

I'd be happy with either one of you lovely fellows. :) Reachzero is a very capable individual, and we shouldn't blame Tomohawk on him when the metagame was completely different then!

Honestly, both choices are great. Also, blaming a result on a single person when CAPs are the result of community polling and thought isn't quite right, imo.

One of these users in this poll is actually consistently active. The other isn't. This is the easiest decision in the universe. I've seen firsthand the great things Drap has done.

When reach TL'ed Tomohawk, it was beginning of the BW metagame, which unstable and really powerful - thus, Tomohawk was made to be pretty powerful to fit in. Just how Volkraken is pretty powerful also; it was made in the unstable beginning of XY / Aegislash metagame. We shouldn't base reach's performance then to his potential performance for the CAP24 process.

Regardless of past CAPs, I'm very torn about this vote - both candidates are obviously well qualified for the job. Happy CAP24 everyone!

I want to echo Heal's post and say that Drapion is the perfect canidate for this imo

reach is one of the smartest people to ever participate in CAP. also tomohawk was a perfectly executed CAP for its metagame and how it has aged in the all-cap meta two and a half generations later is entirely irrelevant.
