Weird people who'd vote for a Pokemon trainer over Pokemon. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |

And I'll go ahead and say this: If Red were THAT popular, he would've already made the contest. (Don't bring up Vincent. There's a reason why Vincent was that strong and took four years to make a contest) --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |

Red's ceiling being Crono is absurd, but I could definitely see him as a midcarder. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

There's a reason I put Crono as his ceiling
and not as how strong I expect him to be (which is a midcarder). His
potential range makes him much more interesting than a lot of other
possible new characters though, including Charizard. And uh....thanks
for bringing up Vincent. --- Krahenprophet he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

What is that reason --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/15/2009 5:14:38 PM | message detail |
The reason being characters = games, of course! --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |

We should nominate Presea so she can get the Klonoa vote! This. Presea needs to get into the contest! And I'll go ahead and say this: If Red were THAT popular, he would've already made the contest. Ensemble cast. Also when someone goes to nominate a Pokemon character, I think they'll tend to think think of actual Pokemon. That doesn't mean they don't like Red, they just don't make the connection to actually nominate him. This is anecdotal evidence, but I'd vote Red over just about anyone and I never considered nominating him until other people starting bringing up nominating human Pokemon characters. --- KrahenProphet, he come to town! Come to win the GameFAQs Contest! Congrats to KrahenProphet on winning the Best Game Ever 2009 Guru Contest! |

is anecdotal evidence, but I'd vote Red over just about anyone and I
never considered nominating him until other people starting bringing up
nominating human Pokemon characters. I'm kind of in the same boat. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Seifer
most likely did not get into the Villains Contest because of an
unstated Company Cap (although he still didn't get as many noms as Sin
and Ultros <_<), and the possibility that Ceej considered him a
friendly rival. He also didn't get in the past two years due to an unstated Series Cap, most likely. --- KrahenProphet owned me in the Guru Contest by 39 votes! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 11:50:59 AM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #260 Why doesn't it? I never woulda thought to nom him, but I'd vote for him instantly too. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |

The main character of the game being stronger then side characters seems odd? --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |

Pokemon are the main attraction of the game, not the trainer. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |

Yesmar | Posted 6/16/2009 11:57:08 AM | message detail |
Possibly
forget what I said aboust a Company cap in Sp05. There were 7 entrants
for Nintendo, but only 6 for Square. I always assumed it was exactly
the same, implying a Company Cap. Ceej could have forgotten his own
rules from '04, and counted Ansem as Square instead of Disney though. --- KrahenProphet owned me in the Guru Contest by 39 votes! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 6/16/2009 11:59:40 AM | message detail |
The idea that a Pokemon trainer would be stronger than Pokemon doesn't make any sense. Me, Zen, TRE, and Albion - that makes 4 Pokemon fans that frequent the Stats topic so far that would vote Red over most or all Pokemon. Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
The Mana Sword | Posted 6/16/2009 12:02:31 PM | message detail |
Just because 4 people in a single topic would also doesn't mean it will happen. <_< --- This is the kind of **** that allowed the Bhopal incident to happen. 5,000 dead Indians. Want that on your damn conscience, Square apologists? |
KamikazePotato | Posted 6/16/2009 12:03:55 PM | message detail |
I'm
not saying it will happen, I'm saying it's possible, and I'd rather
look to the Pokemon fans instead of people who don't even like the game
for an indicator of how it may go. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
HaRRicH | Posted 6/16/2009 12:04:00 PM | message detail |
Red VS Charizard, who ya got? --- KrahenProfit: a one-Guru wrecking crew. He savagely abused my bracket. |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 12:04:37 PM | message detail |
I'd
easily take Red over Charizard, but thats only because I'm not that
high on Charizard to be anything more then Mewtwo, even if that. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |
The Mana Sword | Posted 6/16/2009 12:04:38 PM | message detail |
I'm a Pokemon fan and I don't give a crap about Red! Take that, KP stats. --- This is the kind of **** that allowed the Bhopal incident to happen. 5,000 dead Indians. Want that on your damn conscience, Square apologists? |
KamikazePotato | Posted 6/16/2009 12:05:44 PM | message detail |
Oh, Charizard. I would take Charizard over anything Pokemon not named Pikachu. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/16/2009 1:43:58 PM | message detail |
The fact that people who claim to like the guy don't even think to nominate him tells me he wouldn't be THAT popular. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 1:45:17 PM | message detail |
You know someone people never thought to nominate? Black haired Cloud and L Block --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/16/2009 1:46:06 PM | message detail |
People nominated L-Block for a long time. Ceej just didn't allow joke characters. Zack got in as soon as Crisis Core came out. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 1:46:54 PM | message detail |
even before Crisis Core, Zack woulda been strong Nobody cares about psp games here --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/16/2009 1:48:24 PM | message detail |
People
didn't have much reason to nominate Zack before Crisis Core. I like the
guy even in FFVII, but I would've felt silly nominating him. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 1:49:38 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
thats true. But I'm just saying even if they didn't nominate him, I
don't doubt he woulda been strong just due to being a black haired Cloud --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 6/16/2009 1:51:25 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
but even still, he's not THAT strong. It's hard to say how strong he
was last year anyway. I dunno. I just have a hard time seeing the
Pokemon trainer be super strong. Maybe a midcarder, but I don't see him
beating Mewtwo, Pikachu, or Charizard. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |

What if the Pokemon trainer was put in as Ash? --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |
HaRRicH | Posted 6/16/2009 2:18:42 PM | message detail |
I've
asked that before and got laughed at by Poke-fans and stats-people
alike. I don't know if that attitude has changed since we've seen
RBY/GS in action though..... --- KrahenProfit: a one-Guru wrecking crew. He savagely abused my bracket. |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 6/16/2009 2:24:36 PM | message detail |
I'd
vote for Ash over so much of the field. He's probably my favorite
Pokemon character outside Team Rocket, who I'd vote for over
practically all the field. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... Krahenprophet pwn me... in the Guru Contest! |
Shoenin_Kakashi | Posted 6/16/2009 2:30:02 PM | message detail |
On the opposite side, Id vote against Ash on so much of the field <_< --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire. |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 2:30:03 PM | message detail |
seriously, i could see ash as a near noble niner --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 6/16/2009 2:30:39 PM | message detail |
However,
Pokemon really is all about the Pokemon. I doubt a character like
"Pokemon Trainer" would be stronger than some of the franchise's iconic
and stupidly lovable and hate-able furry faces. Maybe Ash and Team
Rocket would actually be stronger, since they're bringing in actual
character and nostalgia from the TV show, but "Pokemon Trainer" (or
even worse, "Red")? I have trouble seeing that. Also, Pikachu over Charizard? Dear god, I hope not. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/8zkzm1.gif Watch and you'll see... Krahenprophet pwn me... in the Guru Contest! |
Shoenin_Kakashi | Posted 6/16/2009 2:30:52 PM | message detail |
Now if this was Ashley J. Williams, Id have him winning the whole damn thing. --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire. |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 2:31:28 PM | message detail |
I'd have trouble seeing any Pokemon stronger then Pikachu. Mewtwo would likely be doubled by Pikachu. --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 6/16/2009 2:36:00 PM | message detail |
Well maybe not double, thinking about it But I can't see Mewtwo being closer then 40-42% on Pikachu --- http://www.xboxlc.com/cards/blue2/Albion%20Hero.jpg Krahenprophet is my little butterfly! |

already got a Poke-poll going, or else I would have made an

real deal. --- KrahenProfit: a one-Guru wrecking crew. He savagely abused my bracket. |

Have
you ever actually made a modest prediction in your life? You need to
learn that it's ok to predict something to place higher than everyone
else but when you ramp that up to ridiculous heights nobody will take
you seriously and you end up with this posted all over the place. =/ http://img.imgcake.com/Smurf/albionimg.jpg --- (\__/) Meet Ziggy,the Evil Bunny who wants to take over the world and eat the flesh of the weak. (='.'=] Put Ziggy in your sig to support his cause. |

ZFS | Posted 6/16/2009 2:51:37 PM | message detail |
I
dunno where all this nameless Pokemon trainer hype came from. I doubt
he'd be stronger than any of the actual Pokemon, much less Noble Nine
tier. If you want someone in from RBY, you'd be better off pushing
Charizard or something, but I doubt it's even much stronger than
Pikachu. --- There ain't no gettin' offa this train we're on |
