hey welcome to the bird pokemon tournament :)

the brackets! shoutout to printyourbrackets

FINALS BRACKET

these brackets were hand-seeded by me, and i really tried my best to ensure there were no strong competitors up against each other in the first rounds. but i’m just one unemployed freshly graduated guy so i doubt it’s perfect, feel free to let me know if anything is a bad matchup and i’ll try to go from there if i ever do another tournament!

- reshiram, latios, latias, dracozolt, and arctozolt were disqualified for not being "bird" enough. sorry those pokemon enjoyers :(

- mega evolutions are not included, but regional forms are!

- propaganda is allowed but please be nice! reminder that i will not publish any propaganda that directly attacks any competitor! some light taunting is allowed but please do not outright insult any pokemon. if i don't post your propaganda it's either because it was insulting another competitor or I Forgot and i'm very sorry if that's the case </3

- all polls for the first round will last a week and will be posted once a day!

- polls will be reblogged when there are around 2-3 days left. feel free to blacklist #reminder if they get annoying!

remember this is all for fun, so please be kind and polite!

@bird-pokemon-showdown I have some oricorio propaganda for u

This is Sweet Pea, singing the pa’u oricorio cry (she’s camera shy so I had to zoom in)

[bird-pokemon-showdown]

now that the tournament is over, i was thinking of ranking all the individual bird pokemon in an autistic way. like talking about what i like/dislike about their designs, the kinds of irl birds they’re based on, my personal connection i have with them, stuff like that.

it'll all be super subjective but i think it'd be fun. would anyone be interested?

yeas

no

What will you do with this blog after the finals?

i’m not sure! i’ve been thinking about other tournament topics and i’ll do an interest check some time in the future, but otherwise i’ll leave this blog up as an archive for the greatest bird pokemon tournament of all time…….

Got some altaria propaganda; some of the doodles I’ve been filling a page with and some other stuff

Other reasons to vote for altaria:

-it’s based off the legendary bluebird of happiness :>

-its mega is the only current dragon/fairy type and gets amazing bonus fluffiness points

-the five pointed fluff on mega altaria’s back is reminiscent of a natural cotton head, and cotton buds are commonly used in medicine and other cool stuff (also, it’s got a cool hat and a neckwarmer)

-all of its Pokédex entries mentions how lovely it is to be around; it sings in a beautiful soprano, it gives people hugs, and whoever hears its song gets happy daydreams

-very versatile in combat: it can counter any of its possible weaknesses with some of the moves it can learn

-large enough for you to lean against to sleep on its wing (and will let you) but still small enough to be okay to keep out in the house

vote for altaria here!

Alright, here we go again...

AHEM! WHILE IT IS COOL AND NEAT THAT DECIDUEYE IS WEARING A HOODY LIKE A GAMER BF GOTH BOY, ALTARIA IS WEARING A CLOUD HOODY OF SIMILAR QUALITY WHILE ALSO BEING ENOUGH OF A GAMER TO WRECK HOUSE IN STARCRAFT II OR PERHAPS AGE OF EMPIRES. I COULD ALSO SEE THEM RUNNING AN MLM BUT ONLY IF YOU SEE THAT AS A POSITIVE. ALTARIA SIMPLY HAS THE SKILLS WITHOUT THE SUPERIORITY COMPLEX, AND CAN ALSO ENJOY A GOOD GAME OF SCRABBLE. DECIDUEYE WOULD BE A DICK AT THANKSGIVING DINNER BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO THE FLAMEWARS AND OBSCURE JRPGS BUT LIKE IN A BAD WAY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND??

...vote altaria, she knows perish song.
