Sorry I wasn't paying close attention to those in Round 4. Any way I'm voting {sceptile} down. I like it enough, but after Blaziken, it is my least favorite starter. Only because I think the design is just kinda wonky.

You can only vote once per round.

The whole "you can only vote once per day" thing isn't that big of an issue, unless we're going through like three or four rounds in three hours. It most likely won't be enforced, unless it gets out of hand. When the forums had more activity (2005-2006) we played these PEC things all the time and they got really out of hand. The userbase nowadays is much less active, though. I was glad when the PECs ended because they were nothing but post count +1!!!!!! posts, but with a new generation of users and lower activity I personally don't mind moderating them and voting.

Hope that clears it up!

Sceptile has reached five votes for teh boot, by the way. New and exciting, Typhlosion wins immunity again! I think I'm going to change the rules so the same Pokemon can't win immunity every round, it's pretty lame when the same Pokemon wins immunity every single time. Feraligatr won immunity in the last round though, so Typhlosion wins it again for the new round.


edit: actually, I think Swampy gets immunity as well. Neither of them had any down votes, and even though Venusaur had two up votes as well, he was voted off too many times....

THE ROUND IS OVER, STOP VOTING UNTIL SHUCKLE STARTS THE NEW ROUND.

{blastoise} up. He's my current Nuzlocke starter and he earned it by being awesome. Water turtle GO!

{torterra} down. Game Freak wanted a Venusaur-Blastoise lovechild and screwed up. Torterra sucks. BLASTOISE FOREVUR!

EDIT: This post was made before the big bad bold red lettering was put up. This will inevitably be my first vote next round.

Sorry guys, I didn't check up on it until now! (And I was afraid this challenge was dead!) Anyway, results, yay.
Even though Krisp told the results, this sums it up:
Round 4 Results wrote:
{venusaur} 2/4
{charizard} 1/0
{blastoise} 1/1
{typhlosion} 2/0
{feraligatr} 0/-
{sceptile} 1/5
{swampert} 2/0
{torterra} 1/0
{empoleon} 0/0
So {sceptile} gets booted (sorry sceptile fans)
and {typhlosion} and {swampert} get immunity.


Now we finaly begin Round 5!
Round 5 wrote:
{venusaur} 0/1

{empoleon} 0/0


My vote is still {charizard} / {venusaur} , same reasons.
Also, I included LeoTheLion's vote. Which was {blastoise} / {torterra}

{blastoise} / {empoleon}
EDIT: whoops, guess I gotta read the rules closer ^^;;

Okay, Blastoise was the one starter I always wanted to have when I was a kid. He's a big, blue turtle with cannons on his back. Who couldn't love something like that? And Empoleon is my least favorite of the Sinnoh trio, thereby making him my least favorite starter. I don't really like the design, and I think something a little less... angry/smug would fit Piplup better.

Well then...this time I'm voting for...
Torterra {torterra} UP/Blastoise {blastoise} DOWN
Torterra - I love grass types, & here's a gigantic nature-friendly living tank!
Blastoise - Same reason as before, before before, & before before before.

{venusaur} / {empoleon}

I'll stand by Venusaur until the end of the time for being the coolest starter ever (besides Meganium) / I never really cared for Empoleon. He was my least favorite starter in generation 4.

rex09: give reasons for voting plz

YES! No more Sceptile! :D
anyway,same reason as before with Venasaur, and as for Empoleon, just as with all Sinnoh starters, is weak to the pokemon it's strong against. Look: fire->water->grass->fire, but that's ruined by: fighting->steel->grass/ground->fire. bUt that's not the only reason. I just plain don't like it. It never stood out to me as much as, say, Feraligatr or Swampert.

-_-# I never saw this! If I had, Blaziken would have won!
Anyway, Edoc'sil, I think you're more like me than I thought. Torchie was the first Lv. 100 Pokemon I've ever had, as well as my first Pokemon ever.
But, Blaziken's been eliminated, so...
{empoleon} up, {torterra} down
Empoleon's my first choice whenever I restart my Platinum, because of his great defenses and decent moves. Torterra? Too slow, and both of the other starters can cream him before he gets the chance.

The realy weird thing would be if Raichu was your second level 100. To un-spam and further my reasoning against Empoleon,
the only reason I have Empoleon is because me and my friend were battling one day. The one rule was this: the loser gives the winer their most rare/valuable/both pokemon to the winner. I won and got... his HM slave Empoleon. It's stats sucked. I taught it new moves but still got pwned by Flint's Rapidash. If Piplup had appeased the mighty moe, then I might like empoleon better. But I don't. :shock:

{blastoise} Up/ {feraligatr} Down.

You all know why I like Blastoise, you can look it up if you need or want to. I like Feraligatr, but at the same time I don't. The design of it to me looks down right ugly, I don't like it. Plus there are other waters I like from Johto more.

Chrizard - Before gen IV released, my fav pokemon is him
Empoleon - I hate him!!!!! Piplup was better than him. When I see Empoleon, he's like an evil Penguin, sorry for Empoleon lovers

{torterra} / {blastoise}

Torterra was the first starter that i chose where I actually knew what I was doing. On the previous generation games, I would choose the coolest looking one, because I didn't care and would eventually defeat the Elite Four without it. In Gen IV, this was not the case for me.

Blastoise is the most uncomfortable pokemon for me to use. Besides the fact that I never had a full playthrough of R/B/Y or FR/LG, I don't really have any feeling for the kanto starters, excluding Charizard (raised one for my friend who was on vacation and forgot his Pokemans.)

I request OP ends this round somehow, this round has lasted long enough and we're not making any progress. Perhaps by eliminating the Pokemon with the lowest score so far?

Jsuk /vXv\, Torterra got 3 votes instead of just 2, so he also gets immunity.

So this is pretty much a typical PEC in which all of my personal favorites get eliminated back-to-back-to-back. Yay. :/

Typhlosion (since my true remaining favorite has immunity) / Charizard (who I really should have voted for last round instead of Feraligatr)
