We're on our 5th go around of the pokedex, and we've gone full circle- we're back to Have You Used This Pokemon? Our focus in this particular round is finding which pokemon is the most and least used, along with a secondary focus of which pokemon are most suggested to be used or avoided!
We're starting from the beginning with Bulbasaur, who'll post on March 16th at 1700/5PM UTC! We'll move up the pokedex in national dex order, with a poll posting every 4 hours. These polls will all be tagged as the pokemon's name, the region they were introduced, and #pokepoll. Any pokemon that has received any Reviews will have them listed under a readmore in descending order of Highest rating to Lowest. Reviews/Propaganda can be sent in through the ask page or through this google form!
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great time ^^
Below is further explanation of other things you might see during this round!
FAQ
I have a frequently-asked-questions page here! It's not all encompassing, but might answer some more common questions. Feel free to send in any questions you have, regardless of if they're on there or not ^^
Feedback
Trying out something new this round, I've opened up a feedback form on google forms, here! It can be used for any sort of feedback or suggestions, as I'd like to make sure I keep the polls / blog as fun as I can for y'all ^^
Premier Polls
These are minigame polls, meant to offer a little variety from gen-to-gen. This round will have a focus on Who's That Pokemon? I will give you a Silhouette, a Cry, or a Feature, and your goal is to identify which Pokemon out of the five listed it is! There will be three pokemon chosen per generation, spaced as evenly as possible within that gen. [Ex. Kanto has 151 pokemon, so there will be a premier poll every 50 polls.] If all three pokemon are correctly identified, then there will be a fourth, bonus poll based that uses Trivia as the identifier.
Sources
I will be using a lot of images that, unsurprisingly, I did not make! So I'd like to properly credit them here, as easy access.
Bulbapedia/Bulbagarden - My Main Source for all official art, Pokemon Card artwork, and sprites from the Gens 1-4 mainline games.
Pokemon Showdown - Gen 5 and Gen 5-styled sprites, including fan-made for Gens 6-9
Wikidex.net - Pokemon Home models and gifs from the switch games
If I pull from any sources from than these, they will be mentioned directly on the post ^^

We are now on round 4 of going through the entire pokedex! From asking our url, to shiny pokemon, to: Is this pokemon your fav? Inspired by the phrase 'every pokemon is someone's favourite,' we're aiming to see if it's true! Rather than the standard survey where you might have to pick a favorite from all 1000+ options, we're going to go one-by-one and celebrating each pokemon as they come ^^ Tumblr has a limit of 12 options per poll, too
With this, we're going in National Dex order starting with Bulbasaur! Regional variants will have their own posts, which will be posted in the region they were introduced. A poll will be posted every 4 hours, and will be tagged with the pokemon, the region introduced they were in, and #pokepoll. These polls will also have read-mores with user-submitted endorsements (stories, propaganda, screenshots, or art) when applicable! You can send in your endorsement on either our submission page (browser only) or ask page ^^
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great time!

We're in round 3 of going through the pokedex, and this time we're focusing on Shiny pokemon! Rather than use, we're simplifying the question to 'Do you have this shiny pokemon?' We all know they're a little bit rarer, ultimately worth the same, but really cool to find and add that special feel to some of our favorites. So, with that in mind, our polls are aiming to figure out what shiny pokemon people actually look for! If you have the shiny, did you hunt for it or was it by luck of the draw? If you don't have the shiny, are you looking for it or is it not in your scope?
We're going in National Dex order, with Regional Variants being posted next to their National counterparts. A poll will be posted every 4 hours, and will be tagged with the pokemon, the region introduced in, and #pokepoll. Each poll will also include a read more that feature stories or pictures of shinies that users have submitted. If you'd like to submit your own story and/or photo, you can do so here!
Thank you for reading, and hope you have a great time!

I'm going to put a read more now because it's a little long, but tl;dr thank you!
I'm not the best with words, but I really love working on this blog and spreading the joy it's given me. The sense of community is because of all of your contributions. It's helped make it easy to step out of my comfort zone and try new things, which means a lot to me. I owe you all a huge thanks for your participation ^^
Every time someone shares a story behind a nickname, or how much they like a pokemon and what it's done for them... it really helps make this feel fulfilling, and fun.
I have a tendency to drop things I start, but I've been able to keep at this for over a year now and that's mind-blowing to me. I've learned more about excel, and learned how to make and edit gifs from scratch! It's been an exciting, and I feel like I'm really contributing to this community as well.
While there are similar blogs, I'm honored and grateful to be able to run this one. I'm always happy to hear your stories, opinions, and feedback. Thank you for sticking with this blog and here's hoping that the next round is just as good as the last ^^
