That is correct unless votes swing in favour of aesthetic and overall appeal.

hehehe that's why I love this event!

I fear this may be the week my bracket falls apart, but I aim to trudge on

I think my irrational fondness for Blacephalon is about to get me into trouble in this round

I feel this haha! Some of them I did my type weakness knowledge, others I'm going more for "I like this one more in general so we are gonna pick that one". I'm 17th so not the greatest strategy so far LOL but that is okay! I am here more for the experience of seeing how it all plays out!

I really thought Blacephalon would reach far far far

I love all the Ultra Beasts to be honest, I'm such Gen 7 trash. And I voted accordingly. If Mimikyu was in this tournament, Mimikyu would be my bracket's champion

also I feel like Suicune beating Raikou 63% to 37% is the most obvious example where a Pokemon's popularity and the Pokemon game mechanics are not talking to each other

Yup

But there was no rules stating you had to vote based on game mechanics. Just who you think would come out on top given whatever mechanic. Sometimes you have to pick with your heart on who you think others will pick vs. going with your brain. I feel like if I made it based just on game mechanics then everyone's brackets would be rather similar. This allows for more variety, upsets and suspense.
