How can you say for sure that they have to be stuffed votes? Like I
said, you've got everyone on 4chan legitimately voting and this is the
kind of result you'll get, a massive front-end rally. Don't forget
other sites like LL that would love to get a random Pokemon through. If you're talking about Bidoof, this is an example of why people ignore list you (even though I think ignore lists are kinda dumb). You're just being totally dense on the Bidoof thing, which was clear as day. With Mudkip here it's not clear yet, too early to tell. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

...okay, no more arguments from me on this. This whole "Mudkipz" thing is clearly way, way, waaaay bigger than I thought. I highly doubt this has very much to do with it. Random PokeStrength is a lot more likely. How featured is Mudkip in the games? BTW, I just found out today that the new Pokemon games were on the DS. For some weird reason, I thought they were GBA games, the DS never occurred to me. Hot new games on the DS would do a lot to explain increased Pokemon strength, we know the DS is huge, both in general and at this site. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

HM, I've never actually heard you say it: why DO you hate Pokemon? If it's because of the tremendous milking of the franchise, that's perfectly normal. Even hardcore pokemon fans like me hate that. But there's a really deep game in there, and I don't see why one would be so negative towards it. --- "You're slowing going from Nixon to Mr. Burns." -Jon Stewart on Bush |

This match would be great if not for not for the probability of 4chan
cheats. I welcome the absurdly stupid I just don't like the B.S. --- Should I start running now? |

How featured is Mudkip in the games? He's one of the starters in RSE, and his evolution is one of the best Pokemon in the metagame. --- And if we armed them all with two swords, we'd have four times the votes! |

Can you explain why this is? Like I said, a mere increase of 1000
total votes is easily explained by rallying when a site as large as
4chan is involved. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/4chan.org/ 4chan gets under 200K visitors per day. There's no way 1K of them came over here in the course of 30 minutes, after midnight, to vote Mudkip. He's one of the starters in RSE I've never played one of the games, what exactly does starter mean? Is that like a starting party member? Or an inventory item? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Mudkip could possibly end in 2nd place if Luigi really is bad with the
dayvote with Ganon in the poll as well, but that's about it. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

If Mudkip starts dropping off update after update here, I wouldn't be
too concerned about what happens during the day. It's not like he'll be
a day vote monster or anything. --- let's mosey |

I've never played one of the games, what exactly does starter mean? Is that like a starting party member? Or an inventory item? Your "starter" is indeed a starting party member. In fact it is your only starting party member, or rather starting Pokemon. You choose from one of three at the beginning of each game, and that's the only one you have until you catch another one in the wild, IIRC. Meaning that Mudkip isn't quite a random Pokemon after all, rendering much of my argument moot. |

Mudkip won't drop off as much as Bidoof. I do, however, expect him to keep falling. Luigi should start cutting sometime soon. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar http://server3.uploadit.org/files/ff6man-PhoenixVote.jpg |

Ganon's day vote bites compared to the rest of Nintendo. Luigi will
make cuts on Ganon with the day, and Mudkip will start pulling in
<20% updates soon. TuRtLe ~~~ 141/184 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Zero BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

From creativename Posted 10/13/2007 1:22:39 AM #363 I've never played one of the games, what exactly does starter mean? Is that like a starting party member? Or an inventory item? In Pokemon games, you are given an option of three Pokemon and told to choose one of them. This is your starter. You'll use it for the beginning at the very least, and your casual gamer will use them for the entire game. In the very first game, Charmander(Also a starter) was probably used in the final party of over 50% of the game's players. ~~~ Ashe.

Bidoof also didn't have his match start 30 minutes late. We're seeing a
bit of an extended power hour thanks to the poll being late. TuRtLe ~~~ 141/184 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Zero BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
