cK's March Madness of Pokémon [2023]

[Lyrichord]

I was shocked when I was doing well - not choosing Eevee was clearly my downfall. 😂 Congrats to all at the top!

[Dasvidaniya]

How are you guys figuring out what place you are in? 🤔

The Predictions tab on Challonge! It has everyone's points up until the final round, but you can basically figure out what you'll end up with o;

A three way tie for second?

My predictions tab says Dasvidaniya is in second while Harpy and I are tied for 3rd. I think Das is beating the both of us due to better picks in previous rounds, but I do see where it also says all 3 of us also have 51 points.

True but you all have the same potential scores. We I'll see what challonge says at the end. Either way if it's a 3 way tie or a 2 way I have a good tie breaker

Ooh, I was wondering what would happen in the event of a tie! Looking forward to seeing what the tiebreaker is
I'm a little confused about the potential points, given that we all have the same final pick, but I'm chalking that up to my own ignorance lol.

High five to everyone!! I'm surprised I made it this far!

cautiously optimistic that I won't jinx myself by piping up now but -

I did well this time around because I learned from getting crushed in prior years after trying to vote based on type/stats. Voting in cK tends to skew more toward favoring popular Pokemon instead of type matchups (which I can respect, I'll never vote for Moltres over Articuno even though Moltres would thrash the icy bird in game =P). This year I filled out my bracket based on what Pokemon I assumed are more popular instead of actual battle stats.

Same here haha. When we did legendary categories, I was on Pokemon DB looking at base stats for each pokemon and voting based off that. I was also voting from a competitive viewpoint too. Some pokemon *could* have good stats, but in some cases, it wouldn't matter how good they are if they have a x4 weakness to something and go second in a turn due to being slower than the opponent.

For this one, I mixed it up as well with some type matches and popularity votes. I was shocked Bulbasaur won over Pikachu since they'd lose 99% of the time against them haha.

[harpy]

I went entirely with what I thought would be popular and used type matchup as a tie-breaker if I was clueless. I know some people are really up to speed on stats etc but since I'm not, I was just hoping that people voting that way would be in the minority. It bit me with a few of the new ones but worked out overall!

Alright I know there is another day of voting techincally left however right now there is now way the result can be swayed if remaining votes were cast. So! I will close voting his this morning and in a few short hours will release our tie
