CAP 33 - Part 14 - Pokedex Poll 2

CAP 33 So Far

--

This is a ranked pairs poll. The order of your preferences DOES matter. You may rank as many or as few options as you like, but we encourage you to rank as many options as possible. A typical ballot might look like the following:

Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred
Etc.

Any comments would go below the votes in non-bold text.

All ballots will be revealed at the end of the poll and votes will be counted via automated scripts. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.

• Do NOT bold anything other than the options you are voting for.
• Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
• Only one option per line.
• Spellings must match EXACTLY the options listed below.
• Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.

Asking for votes for your submission or for the submissions of others is not allowed. Anyone found to have done so risks punishment at the moderation team's discretion. If you find that someone has broken this rule, please contact the CAP moderation team with your evidence and no one else. Mini-moderation of this rule is also considered a serious offense and can be punished.

The voting options are:

Explosion Badger

Cresceidon, the Great Wave Pokémon

Scarlet: For centuries, its mysterious silhouette has been seen traveling over moonlit waves, capturing the imagination of cultures worldwide.

Violet: Though it's rarely aggressive, Cresceidon's might is not to be underestimated. With the power to bend the tide to its whim, even Gyarados fear its wrath.

Tunana

Cresceidon, the Great Wave Pokémon

Scarlet: Cresceidon's speed and size proved to be useful to sailors of old, who would harness its immense power to speed up long voyages.

Violet: The shimmering waters and luminous crest of a Cresceidon makes it difficult for artists to capture its likeness accurately on a canvas.

StephXPM

Cresceidon, the Great Wave Pokémon

Scarlet: On the night of a crescent moon, it rises from the deep. It controls the ebb and flow of the tide with its horn.

Violet: It is respected and feared for its power over the ocean currents. In its presence, smooth seas can quickly become fearsome tidal waves.

Dratios

Cresceidon, the Shelter Wave Pokémon

Scarlet: Despite their daunting appearance, Cresceidon care deeply about people and Pokemon. They shield the weak from threats like Gyarados and Arghonaut.

Violet: Oceanographers have correlated the moon's phases with Cresceidon sightings. On the night of a full moon, these Pokemon gather to bask in starlight.

NoahIOTJ

Cresceidon, the Great Wave Pokémon

Scarlet: At night, it rises out of the ocean and rides atop the water to bask in the energizing light of the full moon.

Violet: Cresceidon tasks smaller Pokémon to rid its skin of pests. Sailors often tell florid stories of fish surfing on the open ocean when they witness this.

pokexchespin

Cresceidon, the Tidal Pokémon

Scarlet: This Pokémon has long been revered by sailors for its ability to control the sea's waves. Many say treating them well is needed for a safe voyage.

Violet: Cresceidon's body subtly glows just before high tide. Pokémon professors have used this knowledge to help predict the weather.

Falchion

Cresceidon, the Sea Titan Pokémon

Scarlet: This gentle giant rises from the depths to gaze at the night sky. It has a friendly nature but may inadvertently cause destruction when close to shore.

Violet: As it swims, its viscous body picks up salt and debris from the water. Getting accidentally swept up in it can be more dangerous than one would expect.

Shadowshocker

Cresceidon, the Sea Guardian Pokémon

Scarlet: Folktales speak of Cresceidon washing shipwrecked sailors ashore, while also pulling dangerous predators like Gyarados back into the ocean.

Violet: It is said to be born from the last wishes of people who were lost at sea. It reaches incredible heights as if to deliver those wishes to the stars.

I personally really liked the ones that described Cresceidon as a neutral being, I feel that historically people probably saw the tides as something more unpredictable, dangerous, and in power far beyond them.
