These last couple polls have been very close, and very interesting to watch. I thought for sure the Eevees would have everything their own way in each poll, so needless to say I was surprised how the last poll went. ^^ We have some very popular Pokemon on the poll today, which should make things interesting; First is Vaporeon, one of the bulkiest Eevees; Jirachi, an extremely flexible and useful event critter; Snorlax, a perennial OU Pokemon and one of my personal favorites; and Gallade, the Gardevoir with blades on its elbows. I shall be watching with interest. ^^ |
