Hooboy, top of the bracket sure is highly contested, still anyone's game (even me?) Honestly just amazed I made it this far.

Almost forgot to vote. I'm 15th, there we go

[Buizel]

Got my votes in!

If I may though, one thing I will say is that it seems like the results are somewhat the same as last? I know it's been said before if we vote based on stats/matchup wise, then results may be the same-ish but it seems like that can also be said by voting on a factor of cuteness. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Mew won last year, and this year, Mew again has made it to the semi finals probably based on this despite being in (probably) obvious matchups where'd they'd definitely lose.

I apologize if this comes off as ranting or complaining as that's not my intention! Just something I was noticing.

Agreed. Maybe next year we should do non-legendary matchups? Or, last year's winner gets removed from the pot next year?

[John Cena]

It might be fun to do certain themes as well, like all electric pokemon or all grass pokemon (: I love the legendary idea, this was fun! I also agree about perhaps taking the winner of the previous out, although to be fair - Mew is was the obvious choice for winner here

Thank you for the feedback everyone. The intent is to change up the themes every year. As for Mew making it deep again this is something that is out of my control as it is the votes of participants that determines who advances. In regards on what voting is based on ie/ actual stats, overall appeal, cuteness, preference et c this allows for more.ofnthe community to participate. If it was limited to just predictions based on stats it would limit how much participation would be seennin the community. This was they event is a bit more accessible to everyone.

It's OK to rant I appreciate the feedback.

I wish I knew Mew won last year. My entire bracket would've been different. Should've checked lmao

I love this event regardless! Just wanted to say that ^^
