I for one would welcome our potential Sirfetch'd overlords.

Not gonna lie, I kinda want to see the two Banettes face each other in R2.
On another note, I'm happy to see four of my guys go through.

I've not had any experience with either 'mons, but I suppose I'll go for Carbink as gemstones are cool.

Voting for Hydreigon as the thing looks so cool and menacing, also fuck Ghetsis for hacking underlevelled Hydreigons up the wazoo, same with pre-rematch BW2 Iris. 

I've had no experience in using Abomasnow, but by that token I've had limited experience in "using" Kadabra as I almost always evolve it straight away, nevertheless my vote goes to Kadabra.

Easy vote for Lugia, first legendary I ever caught and it looked pretty menacing as a Shadow Pokémon in XD.

Let's give Araquanid some love as the poor thing got next to no love in the anime. Seriously, Araquanid has had less than 30 seconds of screentime throughout the Sun/Moon series.

Voting for Beedrill. I will never forget how the Modest natured one I had in a wedlocke defied my expectations and proved itself after my initial disapproval of it.

Voting for Grovyle because that sexy mofo was voiced by Dan Green in the Mystery Dungeon Time & Darkness anime special.

This is easy, never used Dunsparce, and Blastoise was the first starter I ever got to level 100, so Blastoise gets my vote.

On one hand, I hear "I LOVE Bastiodon!" every time I see Bastiodon, on the other Samurott was the first starter I used in gen 5, so I have to give it to Samurott here.

Ngl, every time I see Cacturne, I hear the words "Surskit are super slow" as Harley dresses like one.

Torterra was my first starter in gen 4, and I liked that it can get EQ as soon as you get it.

Out of all of the Ralts-line, Kirlia is a 'mon that I have the least attachment to as it evolves fairly soon after evolving from Ralts, but since I have more experience with Kirlia than Furret, Kirlia gets my vote.

Dragalge is a pokemon that on appearance alone many people wouldn't think it was dragon-type. But controversy aside (which I won't mention), I'm voting for Wigglytuff because it's a pokemon that many people would think cannot look sinister but Harley proved otherwise (so did the TCG, who did it first).

Voting for Machamp as for many TCG players who begun with the Base set, Machamp was their first 1st edition card, seeing as technically it was only available in 1st ed.

Controversial warning:
Voting for Weavile for variety's sake as Banette technically has a spot in R2 already, also I like Weavile more as it has a pretty cool design (and the CHR Weavile from Dream League ft Cyrus has cool art).

Voting for Buneary because I will never forget teaching Return on it while its happiness was at 0. (In my defence, I never knew at the time that it started off at 0)

Going for Camerupt here. I can't look it at without picturing "Camerupt, you idiot!" from a LP of Colosseum that I watched a while ago.

My vote goes for Lycanroc as the Midnight forme is also my favourite forme as it's the most sinister looking (especially its GX card in the tcg).

Going for Giratina as it has so much more cool looking fanart, and I may or may not admit to using one from the HGSS Arceus event.

My interest in the Meowstic line peaked in 2014 when the "Wanted: Espurr" campaign was a thing and I wanted to get one of the plushes (that I managed to do eventually).

Funny story about Primarina (who I voted for): I was an idiot when I named it Pacifica (after the CFV unit) because said card is a mermaid and my Popplio was a male, derp.

Easy vote for Vivillon. I love having every pattern of it in my PC in gen 6.

Going for Seviper. I don't have any major opinions on either 'mon, but I will say when I first fought Lucy in Emerald, I wasn't aware that her Seviper had a Quick Claw attached when it attacked before my Espeon (then again, that fight was back in 2006 when I didn't have as much access to the internet as I do now).
