Hey all, I finally managed to snag a GP'er to have a quick look over these and he made some fixes to the entries entered.
Bold your votes and nothing else! A typical vote might look like the following:
Please post only your votes in this thread. Do not respond to other posts, or your posts will be moderated and you may be warned. You are allowed to say whatever you like in relation to your vote at the bottom of your post, but please do not look to begin a discussion. Keep those comments to the PS! CAP chatroom or the CAP Discord channel.
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.

Here are the legal entries! Please PM if you want to know why your entry was not deemed legal. (Fun fact, there are only two 100% legal subs submitted, but they are near enough that I am allowing the others anyway).

This will be a Preferential Block Vote (PBV) (a form of Instant Runoff Voting which re-runs the counting, each time removing the previously top-ranked candidate in order to determine the 2nd most preferred, 3rd most preferred, etc.), the details of which are outlined here and here. This is a ranked vote: order does matter! You can upvote your favorites and downvote your least favorites. You may choose to rank as many or as few options as you like, but we encourage you to rank as many options as possible to ensure your preferences are taken into account.Arghonaut, the Pirate Pokémon
Diamond: Hearty and boisterous, ARGHONAUT are known to take over opposing ships and crews for entertainment.
Pearl: ARGHONAUT are very efficient sea captains, commanding crews of both Pokémon and people alike.
Platinum: ARGHONAUT are a bit egotistical due to their success as captains, and from the vast number of PRIVATYKE that aspire to be them.
Bold your votes and nothing else! A typical vote might look like the following:
Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred
Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.
CAP uses automated scripts to count votes. For this reason, it is very important for all ballots to be submitted correctly. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.
- The scripts count bold words in ballots, so do NOT bold anything in your ballot other than the options you are voting for.
- Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
- Only one option per line.
- Spelling of options must be EXACTLY correct and must match the spelling listed above.
- Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the vote counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.

LucarioOfLegends -Final Submission
Privatyke, the Cabin Boy Pokémon
Diamond: PRIVATYKE yearn to evolve into ARGHONAUT. They complete orders accurately in a timely fashion, and they do hard labor to receive recognition.
Pearl: One can always find PRIVATYKE surrounding a battle of ARGHONAUT. Each crew of PRIVATYKE stands at attention in hopes to learn.
Platinum: PRIVATYKE value loyalty but follow power. If an ARGHONAUT loses a battle with another, the PRIVATYKE of the losing captain join the other crew.
letterman4 -Final Submission
Privatyke, the Sea Squid Pokémon
Diamond: Loyal and hardworking, PRIVATYKE work on the ships of sailors across the sea with the hope of one day commanding a vessel themselves.
Pearl: This Pokémon thrives best at sea. It can use its tremendous strength to move heavy cargo onto boats.
Platinum: They secretly hoard away their earnings as crewmen on ships. They become more greedy and demanding when close to evolving.
Gaminshogun9105 -Final Submission
Privatyke, the Boatswain Pokemon
Diamond: While sailing at sea, PRIVATYKE frequently uses its sharp metal blade to catch FINNEON as food for other PRIVATYKE.
Pearl: Led by an ARGHONAUT, hordes of PRIVATYKE regularly plunder massive cargo ships, leaving many businesses out of stock.
Platnium: Without an ARGHONAUT as a captain, PRIVATYKE violently brawl with each other for the ownership of any loot they find.
G-Luke -Final Submission
Privatyke, the Matey Pokemon
Diamond: If a PRIVATYKE is assigned a task by the captain ARGHONAUT, it will do it without hesitation as a sign of admiration towards its captain.
Pearl: PRIVATYKE spend their early years learning to catch food using their metal blade. They're commonly seen hunting near shores, perhaps looking for a captain.
Platinum: PRIVATYKE don't get along well with each other due to each wanting more praise from the ARGHONAUT that leads them than the other.
Please expand the above quotes and have a good read!Final Submission
Privatyke, the Squidling Pokémon
Diamond: PRIVATYKE have not quite gained their sea legs. As a result, they are often seen waddling about with a slight daze on the high seas.
Pearl: PRIVATYKE are diligent workers that never fail at carrying out the commands of the ARGHONAUT captain they aspire to be.
Platinum: Quite skilled with their metal blades, PRIVATYKE are often seen hunting MAGIKARP and even fearsome CARVANHA.
