  1. Reason to vote for Sabrina:

    “As her power increased, she grew more obsessed with developing it. She became less and less emotional, using her abilities for destructive purposes, even transforming her mother into a doll. This caused a deep psychological rift. The emotions she tried to shut off developed into a separate personality- a young girl who manifested as a puppet around Sabrina. Sabrina’s mind was divided into the cold, callous woman with a thirst for power and the little girl who just wanted to have fun.”

  2. The only choice here is between Wallace and Volkner.

    Since Volkner was the only one of the ones I picked that won, guess I better go with him.

    My personal Favourite all time are Tate and Liza, followed closely by Morty.

  3. Going to have to pick from my bae’s Sabrina and Elesa, I’ll go with Elesa.
    Anyways, here’s something extremely interesting. Nintendo actual considered a Fire Emblem and Pokemon crossover before a Fire Emblem and SMT crossover.. Potentially, we could have had Intelligent Systems make a game similar to Pokemon Conquest, but superior. I really hope the gets re-opened. The concept is already awesome!

    • She’s just such a cool character! She subverts the stupid sexy model trope by being actually really intelligent and caring. She helps Bianca get permission to go on a journey, she uses some awesome pokemon, both versions of her gym are awesome and memorable. All while having one of the simultaneously most coolest and sexiest designs

  7. I didn’t know how I attacked ppl here when I call Wallace sissy and he is truly is …….y ppl r so edgy while u talking about something related to them …..I don’t mind if u r sissy or gay that’s ur choice but if u think that’s the right choice y u consider ppl attacking u ………….just stop living fucking drama.

    when I say this ” 4 girls and sissy guy really? how can I choose of these ?” wat I exactly mean I love strong and bad ass characters and I can’t choose any of those this just my opinion.

    I read “sissy” word many time there did this really count rude …..wat should I say soft guy or girly guy ….that’s if the problem with my words but I think the problem in ur mind.

    ur Protector Shady.
