Save My Pokemon Contests

Welcome to the Save My Pokemon Contests page! I thought I would share how these contests got started for those who are interested in the history, so here we go!

These contests were initially hosted on the Pokemon Black/White Main Board by mnkboy907. The very first contest of the whole series was the Save My Bug Pokemon contest. Even though it was filled with alt voters who were intent on making the whole thing lolworthy, the host proceeded to the next contest, Save My Electric Pokemon. Shortly after the contest started, the host encountered a roadblock when he discovered the topics were deemed off-topic and was forced to terminate the contest temporarily. Luckily, the Black/White Social Board was created after this incident to allow for such topics, and the contest continued there.

After the Save My Electric Pokemon contest finished on the B/WSB, we then moved to Dragon, Ice, Steel and finally, Normal. Not long after the Normal contest started, the host lost interest and the contest stalled for a week, until Thunder_Armor stepped up to the plate and took over. While Thunder_Armor was running the contest and everyone was wondering where the original host disappeared to, someone found mnkboy907 hanging around b8, and we decided to move the contest to board 8 in hopes of increasing participants, as the B/WSB got very little traffic. We didn't actually get a significant increase in participants because many of b8er's favorites were already eliminated. b8 is, however, a very active place, and I'm glad the contests migrated over.

After Thunder_Armor ran the contest for a few rounds, I took over by GensisSaga's nomination, and that's how the contests got started on b8!

Below are the past contest results. I hope to redo Bug through Psychic after we go through the first cycle of the series.

Bug

This was a total joke contest, probably the worst so far. People were joining the Surskit and Anti-Surskit clans, and it all resulted in a terrible winner.

01. Surskit 02. Volcarona 03. Galvantula 04. Scolipede 05. Yanmega 06. Escavalier 07. Heracross 08. Forretress 09. Venomoth 10. Armaldo 11. Shuckle 12. Butterfree 13. Dwebble 14. Vespiquen 15.

Electric

Joltik is not a bad winner, but I felt there were more worthy winners.

01. Joltik 02. Galvantula 03. Mareep 04. Manectric 05. Zapdos 06. Jolteon 07. Eelektross 08. Zekrom 09. Luxray 10. Ampharos 11. Emolga 12. Lanturn 13. Flaaffy 14. Raichu 15. Zebstrika 16.

Shinx 32. Heat Rotom 33. Frost Rotom 34. Tynamo 35. Fan Rotom 36. Electrode 37. Luxio 38. Electivire 39. Eelektrik 40. Voltorb 41. Magnemite 42. Stunfisk 43. Minun 44. Plusle

Dragon

Flygon is an OK winner. Totally didn't expect my saving Giratina O at the beginning of the contest would allow it to take second place, although Dragonair would have been in the final if I had been around at the time.

01. Flygon 02. Giratina (Origin Forme) 03. Dragonair 04. Altaria 05. Salamence 06. Latios 07. Vibrava 08. Dragonite 09. Zekrom 10. Hydreigon 11. Haxorus 12. Dratini 13. Kingdra 14. Dialga 15. Garchomp 16. Kyurem 17. Axew 18. Bagon 19. Zweilous 20. Fraxure 21. Gabite 22. Latias 23. Reshiram 24. Druddigon 25. Gible 26. Rayquaza 27. Shelgon 28. Deino 29. Palkia 30. Giratina (Altered Forme)

Ice

I didn't understand the Froslass love one bit.

01. Froslass 02. Lapras 03. Articuno 04. Delibird 05. Cloyster 06. Cryogonal 07. Beartic 08. Dewgong 09. Weavile 10. Vanillite 11. Walrein 12. Sneasel 13. Swinub 14. Kyurem 15. Frost Rotom 16.

Steel

Unfortunately, mnkboy907 did not save the results of this contest, and I wasn't able to dig them up in any archives, so all we have are the top two spots.

1. Empoleon

2. Bisharp

Normal

This was another mess of a contest, with another joke final. I hate alts.

Psychic

Did I mention I hate alts?

 Fire 

Finally, a contest with good results.

Water

Empoleon didn't need to win another contest.
