Idol Semifinals COMPLETE; FINAL ROUND NOW UP! [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 12 Sep 2009 at 5:44pm PDT
Well, voting has closed on the third and last group of the semifinals. The last batch of ten Pokemon that are making it to the finals are Lugia, Mew, Umbreon, Blastoise, Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Blaziken, Espeon, Metagross and Salamence. Latios caught a particularly unlucky break and missed out on the top ten by having an average only 0.005 points lower than Salamence's. The other Pokemon that just missed out were Lapras, Latias, Darkrai and Jolteon.
This means the VOTING IS NOW OPEN for the final round of PsyPoke Idol!!! We have thirty finalists and the Pokemon with the highest average at the end of the week will be declared the winner. Who are the finalists? Well, let's take a look at them!
