Scarlett was completely and utterly robbed this episode. :angry:

I’m up for this! ^_^

Scarlet, Nina and Brooke were my top three (in that order) with Plastique a close 4th. In terms of bottom, definitely should have been Ariel v Silky, with Akeria also in the bottom three (I found her looks very pedestrian).

02 | Arcanine | 8.750 Along with Growlithe, Arcanine is my favourite Pokemon of all time. I remember it being the first Pokemon card I ever received and was so disappointed when it turned out that I had to trade it to my Pokemon Blue version! Arcanine is a "legendary" Pokemon (although not in the traditional sense), boasting very high stats with powerful fire-type moves, and needing a fire stone to be evolved from Growlithe. There are a lot of Arcanine seen in the anime, most noticeably Gary's Arcanine. In the beta for Pokemon Red and Blue, Arcanine's original name was supposed to be Blaze... I like Arcanine WAY better!! :lol: With 150 Pokemon already out the way, this means your winner is... 01 | Squirtle | 8.958 So close to a 9 average for Squirtle. A very deserving winner, it is often thought of as the "cool" starter Pokemon, evidenced by the Squirtle Squad in the anime and being a kick-ass water type! It also seems to be the "in" starter Pokemon of choice, with Ash, May, Gary and Tierno all owning one at one point or another!

Your final two; Arcanine and Squirtle, Squirtle and Arcanine, are coming later today/tomorrow. Which one has claimed the total of Buzzjack’s Favourite Generation 1 Pokemon?

Was the sound a bit off for anyone else on Untucked? Sounded like they were in a cave with all the echoey-ness! :lol:

Just seen that lipsync...that was a mess!

Plastique's demon voice had me in stitches! :lol: ARIANA!

Probably should have worded that a little better, the one he sees flying WAS Ho-Oh! It was in the second episode where he mistook the picture of Articuno (the one with the other birds and Arcanine) as Ho-Oh. ^_^

08 | Scyther | 8.458 First up at #8 we have Scyther. I'm actually really surprised this managed to make it into the top 10, it's definitely the least deserving in my mind but let's not rain on it's parade! Seen as a parallel to Pinsir due to them both having a base stat total of 500 and both being Bug Pokemon, this one definitely has the upper hand of being more badass. I've never really used it in any of the games, and it didn't really come into prevalence until generation 2, where it was gym leader Bugsy's main Pokemon. It did, however, let you storm to victory in the National Park competition if you managed to catch one with full health. Always made sure I had enough Park balls to catch one! It also isn't that much of a standout in the anime either; the aforementioned one used by Bugsy is again the most noticeable. 07 | Articuno | 8.500 In at #7 is the final legendary Kanto bird, Articuno. Possibly the most graceful of the three, it's appearance was mistaken by Ash in the anime of that of Ho-Oh!! It was also the last generation 1 Pokemon to be included in the anime, not even appearing in the first season (not debuting until the 187th episode!!). I always loved trying to catch Articuno solely for the fact that I have a fond appreciation of the Seafoam Islands. They were an absolute nightmare at times, and with it being in the middle of the sea meant a constant supply of hyper potions and super repels to make the journey easier. I also actually used Articuno sometimes against the Elite Four, which I can't say for Moltres and Zapdos... A little tidbit...other than Smeargle (and Poliwrath in generation 2), Articuno is the only Pokemon that can learn both an accuracy-focusing move and a one-hit KO move (Mind Reader and Sheer Cold respectively). A deadly combination if not taken care of very quickly).

#7 and #8 up tonight, any guesses?

There isn’t one. :wub:

Voted. Republic of Adonia to win, everything else was just terrible.

So, your top 10 is as follows (in alphabetical order): Arcanine Articuno Blastoise Growlithe Lapras Ninetales Scyther Squirtle Starmie Vulpix #10 and #9 will be revealed tomorrow, an ideas who has fallen at the final hurdle?

I’m not surprised this underperformed, it’s just such a boring, non-existent bleh song.

Thanks Leww! I actually picked this last minute so I wasn't totally confident, might go back to my original for next month but I do have another which I've been saving for like 2 years now. :lol: Was hoping to finally get that 10th qualifier in a row!!

Just look at Jonjo a couple of years back!

Ikr, would NEVER have guessed! :lol:

Oh I've just noticed! :o

Aw Jesus. Gross.

Howdy y'all! My name is Oliver, 28 in five days time, and I'm also from the north east of England (Blyth to be exact but my nearest city is Newcastle so I normally just say there :lol:). I've been a Paramore fan since the very beginning (:o), having heard their songs 'Pressure' on Kerrang and 'Emergency' on a fan-made video of horror film Stay Alive in late 2005/early 2006!!! Having also been a fan of Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco since 2005 as well you can say I've got a soft spot for the indie label Fueled by Ramen. ^_^ I've had all of their albums, including The Singles Club (good shout Lindsey with 'Hello Cold World' :wub:), and even created a Paramore fan website as part of my university degree! I've also been to see them live in Newcastle in 2010, and tried (but failed :() to get tickets for Parahoy in 2014 as it was sailing on my birthday. In terms of albums, I'd have to say Riot! is my favourite, followed closely by Paramore and All We Know is Falling. Possibly controversial not having Brand New Eyes in the top three! :kink:

Voted. One song stood out FAR more than any of the other in this semi. Hoping it qualifies! :wub:

21 | Wartortle | 7.833 22 | Psyduck | 7.833 23 | Slowpoke | 7.818 24 | Poliwhirl | 7.792 25 | Kadabra | 7.792 26 | Rapidash | 7.750 27 | Victreebel | 7.667 28 | Haunter | 7.667 29 | Hitmonchan | 7.667 30 | Dragonair | 7.667 Starting us off is the final of the three dragon Pokemon, Dragonair. Perhaps due to being stronger than Dratini, and more likely to be used than Dragonite is the reason it is higher than both? I've always liked to use it, just a shame it's pure dragon and not a dual type. The other fighting Pokemon based on someone in real life is at #29. As the name suggests, Hitmonchan is based off legendary fighter/actor Jackie Chan; not sure where the boxing gloves come into it though. :lol: There are a host of second stage Pokemon in this section, namely Haunter at #28, Kadabra at #25, Poliwhirl at a surprising #24 and Wartortle at #21. Poliwhirl is the only one I wouldn't have put in the top 30 out of those four, the others each have something about them; whether being a strong water type start Pokemon, being big in the anime and helping Ash to defeat Sabrina, or being one of the broken psychic type Pokemon in the first generation. In generation 1 I tend to stay clear of single-type Pokemon (with the exception of Arcanine because it is literally my joint favourite Pokemon), so I wouldn't use any of these personally! Next we have the Pokemon with what could be considered the loudest, shrillest scream going, Victreebel. Well known for constantly eating James in the anime, it does very respectively in here, finishing at #27. At a pretty disappointing #26 is Rapidash. I expected this to finish much higher, considering there are still two full fire-type families left to come (where will they finish?). I guess it kinda doesn't really do anything that Arcanine or Ninetales doesn't already do... Finally we have, side by side, two of the dopiest Pokemon going. Considering they are psychic types they don't seem to show it! Slowpoke, at #23, constantly leaves its tail in the water waiting for a Shellder to clamp on to it. Perhaps it might be brainy enough to know it'll evolve in that case, perhaps not. :lol: Even worse is literal slowpoke Psyduck at #22. Misty is the not so proud owner of this in the anime, and one thing that could be said about it is that it and it's evolution's names should have been switched. It would have worked much better having it as Golduck and the other, with a jewel on it's head, being called Psyduck.

I use earphones for the gym but I have a lovely pair of headphones for general listening. Need to get them fixed though! :(

Ooooo, this is a welcome addition! ^_^
