Player Nominations

<<PLAYER SUBMISSIONS HERE>>
It's that time of the year again! 2024 was a phenomenal year for RBY OU and every low tier. So many great memories, meta developments, and we even started the development of a brand new tier (RBY ZU!) In my opinion, the RBY community is easily the best on the entire site, and I'm proud to call this generation my home.

Just like last year, we're going to be doing an "awards ceremony" for the people who've made this community special. We will be accepting player nominations until December 29th at 11:59pm GMT-4. And remember, you don't have to fill out every category! If you're unsure or don't have the time feel free to skip some!

Also, feel free to shitpost or do shoutouts in the replies :3
 
RBY Awards is not a special place. I'm sure of that. I also think I would get more awards if I had luck in my games. The game never gives me a FRZ, my Tauros doesn't get 2 consecutive critical hits, etc. I think with luck in my favor my number of awards would be decent and that statement can be generalized to many other FC players. RBY Awards is not as special of a place as I initially thought. RBY Awards can be broken with luck and preparation.
 
Sorry for the delay, but it's finally time for the final voting round!

If you're confused about the Best Meme and Best Forum Post category, there are explanations for each nomination in this post!

During the RBY Boomer vs Zoomer team tournament, team Zoomers brought Electrode to the 4U slot, where they lost. In Amaranth's (now edited) winpost, he uttered the infamous line "take your electrodes somewhere else, this is a serious tier." The quote is now used to refer to any metagame where Electrode is viable as an unserious tier (UU, AG, Nintendo Cup 1997)

Abbreviations for "Persistent Postive RNG" and "Persistent Negative RNG," respectively. They were coined by Green on fire as part of his observation that some users are naturally lucky/unlucky. We're still studying the implications of this breakthrough in RNG theory.

Amaranth was ranting about how people keep bringing Gar + Egg + Mie into Green on Fire, which he deemed to be a bad team into his scout. This lead to people using "koolaid" to refer to that combination of mons in particular, and as well as any team or mon that people deem to be unviable (effectively replacing the term "shitmon.") Also lead to a legendary emote made by Melanie goes boating

Not a particularly deep meme. Amaranth and NotVeryCake got into a very heated argument and this line was said. Everyone (but Amaranth presumably) found it funny and it's still getting spammed to this day. Isn't it funny how all these nominations involve Amaranth in some way?

Voting will stay up until January 12th at 11:59pm GMT-5 to make sure everyone gets their vote in. Thank you all so much for the great year!!
 
Sorry for the delay! Life got unexpectedly busy. Thanks everyone for voting this year! I got almost 50 responses which is a mindblowing amount of people, thank you all so much for your enthusiasm. Here's to a great 2025!

Below are the results of the runoff votes. How this worked was that each round, the person with the least votes was eliminated and whoever voted for them had their vote moved to their next highest choice until someone had a >50% majority. Only a few categories were blowouts; in most, the 2nd and 3rd choices mattered a lot! Congratulations to all the winners and top 3 placers!
