Pokémon Mascot Showdown: The Results

by

Hello everyone! We’re bringing you the results of the Pokémon Mascot Showdown! There were a lot of votes, and it was a very close call, but we have a winner.

It’s Giratina, our favorite mascot from Generation 4! It won with 19% of all the votes! In celebration of Giratina, our supreme overlord, winning we’ve updated the site theme to something a little more fitting of everyone’s favorite legendary Ghost-type Pokémon!

2nd: Lugia (18%)

3rd: Rayquaza (17%)

4th: Charizard (15%)

5th: Xerneas (12%)

6th: Lunala (10%)

7th: Zekrom (9%)

Is Giratina our rightful winner? If not, which mascot should have won instead?

Thanks for the voting and we’ll see you next time!

  1. Anyone got more Pokémon suggestions 17 short and I can’t think of things

    My most recent thought a two stage Dark/Flying Vampire Bat should I add it? Or no?

  2. And just like that I’m back
    Darkitten (WIP)
    Dark
    Kitten Pkm
    Technician/Limber HA: Speed Boost
    A petite jet black Caracal Kitten with a particularly squished “fussy” face with very large ears with tufts of pointed fur, their wide steel blue eyes glow slightly in the dark, their body has tawny spots on their back running down their tail
    “Despite their small stature they are extremely able hunters, surprising small birds and rodents with blinding strikes. Though their cute appearance makes them popular they are extremely difficult to own as pets”

    And it evolves into the secretive and vicious
    Nocaracal
    Dark
    The Feline Pkm
    Technician/Limber HA: Speed Boost
    A very large and sleek big cat pictures Pokemon with a deep orange black coloration, their heads hold very large ears with tufts of fur, on their forehead are orange stripes of vertical fur, razor sharp Blue eyes, and powerful forepaw and legs tipped with red claws
    “Quiet and effective hunters of the night, their ear fur senses the slightest movements and can listen to a pebble drop a mile away, their expression are extremely stoic and concealed nobody can tell if they value you or not”

    • I’m fine with this. Nothing all too special and they don’t have to be, amiibos are there for displaying purposes and not for locking stuff behind a difficult-to-find paywall.

    • Pretty fair all around. The only thing I personally hope is that the items are invinate/unbreakable(depending on the context) to kinda justify using the Amiibo more. Like what’s the point of say getting a good mid-game sword that you won’t be able to repair until the midgame, making it fairly useless as you don’t want to waste it early on. Its like Fire Emblems breakable weapons all over again.

    • That confuses me now but I’m sure if I look at that in a month I’ll be like “ohhhhh, that’s what’s happening”.

  10. Ugh catching up from being sick sucks. I’m completely lost in all my classes but I’ve been too busy taking tests and quizzes (even through my lunch period) to ask anybody what the heck is going on.

    In other news, IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

      • I kinda do, but I don’t want to start getting tutored over PJ. xD

        I guess I’ll briefly describe it, why not. We’re doing similarity problems, and I thought we were also doing Pythagoren triples, but I was gone for a day and now I’m leagues behind.

        Reply

        • Are you trying to prove when two triangles are similar? (And I’m also guessing that similarity does not include when two triangles are congruent).
          Pyth triples are right triangles with integer side lengths satisfying a^2+b^2=c^2. Examples include 3,4,5 and 5,12,13

          Reply

          • I’m not necessarily trying to prove similarity anymore, I’m trying to use the ratios from the similar triangles to find side lengths. Except it’s too complicated for my small brain because I’m given like maybe two side lengths or angle measures and a weird figure and I have to go from there. It’s the same idea but it’s just really confusing.

            And maybe it’s not Pyth triples I was thinking of actually, apparently they’re called “semi famous triangles”.

          • Ok so here’s the super important thing about similar triangles: The side lengths and areas between triangles are proportional and the angles are equal.

            Recall the 3 similarity conjectures:
            AAA -> Given triangles abc and ABC, if angle a=angle A, and angle b = angle B, then abc and ABC are similar (by euclidean geometry you only need to check two b/c you’ll have that c=180-a-b)
            SAS -> Given triangles abc and ABC, if side ab = kAB, side ac=kAC, and angle a = angle A, then the two triangles are similar
            SSS -> Given triangles abc and ABC, if side ab=kAB, side ac=kAC, and side bc=kBC, then abc and ABC are similar.

            If you have two triangles that are similar by definition, then it follows that AAA, SAS, and SSS MUST hold. So if you’re given a ratio, you’ll need one of the side lengths to find another. AAA is pretty useless in doing things with sides and side ratios, of course.

            Do you have an example of the figures you’re given? Maybe all you need is someone else to decipher it for you and explain in layman’s terms.

        • Never in my life I had to apply the exact theory of similar triangles. Compared to the other stuff you learn in high school math, it’s one of the more useless stuff, and I say that as an engineer who actually has to use lots of math.

          • I’ve never had to either. Even in my proof based courses it’s never used. I suppose it’s intended purpose is to be used as a sandbox for teaching basic proof writing skills, but geometry classes usually don’t end up doing a good job with that

          • I guess it’s a setup for learning to quickly analyse triangular geometries and identities? Because those are really frequently used in solving lots of different problems.

  12. So how’s this sound
    Opposos (Just the courruption of the word Opossum)
    The Opossum Pkm
    Normal
    Feign Fate: when it’s health drops to 25% it raises its evasiveness Sharply
    it is a standard tiny grayish white rodent/mammal Pokemon with a long body, it has a snow white face with wide yellow saucer eyes with a dot pupil, pointy black ears and a pointy pink nose, their paws are pure black and they have a rat like tail with a long coil
    “Opposos are claimed to be the most cowardly Pokemon of all time, the tiniest sounds causes them to run and hide, they fake being knocked out so pokemon don’t bother it”

    then into
    Opasson (Opossum and Pass on)
    The Opossum Pkm
    Normal/Ghost
    Feign Fate
    “a wild and mangy Opossum pokemon, spiky matted black grey fur, a long shaggy head with a mouth full of teeth and their yellow eyes have no pupils, and longer arms with very long claws, their tails are bent in several places”
    “Opasson shut off their heartbeat so much they aren’t even considered alive anymore, they slink through the nighttime and guard their young”

  13. I made a perfect Spinda Evolution

    Pretty much is a larger more silly looking one apparently its spun so much it now fights knocked out hence its new ability “Trick health” which from full health if its hit to red in one shot it fully heals itself but only from 100% max health (if hit by Hazards, Burns, ect. Its ability fails)

  16. New Fakemon Idea (since it’s been awhile)

    Kittail
    The Cattail Pokemon
    Type: Grass/Normal
    Ability: Vital Spirit
    Height: 1’06”
    Weight: 21 lbs
    Amber Entry: Kittail make an ideal pet for people to have at their homes, especially farms. The spores on their tails can act as a good fertilizer for plants.
    Chrome Entry: A young but eager Pokemon, Kittail have a strong spirit within, and won’t back away from a battle. It uses the spores on their tail to burst at the opponent, then strike with their claws.

    Evolution:
    Kittail -(Dawn Stone)-> ???
    Kittail -(Dusk Stone)-> ???

    (Based on a cat, especially the Bosques De Noruega kitten, and cat tails. It’s designed like this as a play on a cattail, with there being a literal “cat” and having a cattail on its “tail”.)

  17. nrrrrrrrr ten days left…..
    so far i got

    Starter Kit
    Standee
    Guardian Amiibo
    Wolf Link Amiibo
    Snacks and Drinks
    Day off from work

    And all is left is Bomberman R and possibly a Bokoblin Amiibo

    All i need to do IS FREAKING GET THIS SHIT, I decided to keep the switch in my room only because my T.v is the highest quality and easier to plug in, days need to start freaking picking up speed, i’m going to Connecticut for the weekend to help my Aunt and see how much i can scrounge up, also that my freaking Best Buy doesn’t screw up royal along with Amazon getting the shipments in on time
