Huge collapse for Pokemon on that update. Pokemon lost slightly over 3% on that update.

Pokemon winning this poll makes no sense. Pokemon has, and always will be, a series that is far more popular on handhelds than on consoles.

Makes you wonder how well Pokemon Stadium would do in a games contest.

Pokemon Stadium vs. Conker's Bad Fur Day who do you pick?

That's only because consoles only get spin-off games. The hope that a main-line Pokemon game will released on a console is what people are voting for.

But does that kill the whole point of Pokemon?

I wouldn't know, I have zero interest in the series.
#307 | LinkMarioSamus | Posted 9/15/2012 4:16:12 AM | message detail
On second thought, a full-on console Pokemon RPG would probably be quite the force to be reckoned with on this site. The only two conditions are:

1) It must actually live up to all the hype.
2) It must not be an MMO.

And there's why Pokemon is winning this poll.
#308 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 9/15/2012 4:52:57 AM | message detail
I think what many people want is to have a major Pokemon game (such as DPP or BW) on a console instead of the lesser known (and less popular) spin-off games like Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Stadium.

If the 6th Pokemon generation is finally created and a major Pokemon game is created for the 6th generation, they are hoping for it to be on a console instead of a handheld. Which would never happen because all of the major Pokemon games are on the handheld systems.

Just to ask, what do you think would be the strongest current-gen JRPG in a GameFAQs contest setting?

...Final Fantasy XIII? PLEASE NO.

...I forgot that Pokemon Black/White existed. Wait a sec...
#310 | WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 9/15/2012 5:25:56 AM | message detail
I can't think of any really popular ones other than Black/White and FFXIII. I doubt Xenoblade has enough of a playrate to beat both of those two, so I guess I'd go with FFXIII by default. I mean, we trash FFXII's popularity but it might be the most popular jRPG of last generation outside of FFX (unless I'm really, really forgetting something obvious).

#311 | LinkMarioSamus | Posted 9/15/2012 9:11:14 AM | message detail
The Kingdom Hearts games would walk all over Final Fantasy XII, and I'd pick Tales of Symphonia and The Thousand-Year Door to beat Final Fantasy XII as well.

On unikgamer, Persona 3 & 4 are ranked above Final Fantasy XII as well, but that's probably not happening on GameFAQs.

Oh yeah Golden Sun.

Forgot about that because FFXII is so far ahead on unikgamer, whoops.

Also, these are some terrible vote totals today. I guess we might end up with around 26000 votes today. All of these Wii U polls have been getting terrible vote totals as well.

Out of the 9 polls this year specifically related to the Wii U, only 2 of them finished with over 40000 votes (both near the beginning of the year). The other 7 polls have less than 38000 votes, including today's poll.

The Umbra Witch is beating Mario, awesome! At least she should be a lock into the next character battle. In fact, she's probably stronger now than she was when her game launched; I've seen waaay more Bayo discussion these past few days then I did in early 2010. And wow, imagine if she makes it in Smash - we'll have a solid midcarder who could challenge the action-y Western characters in her similar position.

oh wait, we still do contests here right

Bayonetta should get votes based off of her character design alone.

I'd bet she's a good deal stronger than pre-DMC3 Dante.

And not to sound like Ulti, but I absolutely love how Wii Fit U is in last. That series is dumb, dumb, dumb.
#318 | Iamthekuzalol | Posted 9/17/2012 10:29:59 AM | message detail
I'd bet she's a good deal stronger than pre-DMC3 Dante.

Considering that pre-DMC3 Dante was a fairly decent mid-carder, good deal stronger than him would put her in the range of strong character like Bowser/Zelda/Ryu etc, highly doubt so.
#319 | LinkMarioSamus | Posted 9/17/2012 11:33:22 AM | message detail
Well most of Dante's strength comes from his character design, and that's very likely true with Bayonetta (who also has TSF - The Sexiness Factor - working all too well for her) as well. Since Bayonetta is generally considered to be a good deal superior to the original Devil May Cry...

Then again, unikgamer is my only indication, and there Bayonetta is slightly behind DMC3 and a good deal ahead of DMC1. However, let's see what else unikgamer has done...Deus Ex ahead of Brawl and Twilight Princess, forget it.

Bayonetta is attemping a comeback right now, but there are so few votes remaining in this poll that Bayonetta won't get enough votes to take the lead. The lead is down to 29 right now.

Maybe people don't realize that the game would have been cancelled had PG not struck a deal with Nintendo. None of the options make that clear.

Once Bayonetta 2 is released, it would become only the 4th M rated game to be published by Nintendo and none of them were actually developed by Nintendo themselves.

Biggest reason to not have a character battle yet is to wait for Revengeance to come out so Raiden can get a boost.

Though I suppose there are lots of high profile games coming out soon too, so maybe Games could wait after all...
