Elekid Line Poll

Prompted by a discussion I spied. ;o Don't get confused now by the voting options! I'll lead off with them being in the order they evolve and permute from there.

Elekid > Electabuzz > Electivire
Elekid > Electivire > Electabuzz
Electabuzz > Elekid > Electivire
Electabuzz > Electivire > Elekid
Electivire > Elekid > Electabuzz
Electivire > Electabuzz > Elekid

When voting, you must rank them uniquely. No ties. (I don't have the poll option space for that anyway. ) If that drives you crazy, then feel free to explain your vote here.

Shoulda made the poll public but figured I'd make it private just in case someone is embarrassed by their preferences and doesn't want others to know that they hate/like a particular stage more than the rest. *shrug*

Running low on your poll fix recently, Talon? ;o

'vire > 'kid > 'buzz personally. Was never really a fan of Electabuzz even from the start, partly because I had Blue and it was Red-exclusive and partly because... I just didn't like it. I mean, it's a giant bee, it's a tiger... just what the hell was it? Enough to confuse my 11-year-old self, obviously.

However, when Elekid happened along I thought it was quite cute, definitely an improvement even if it was a prevolution. But when Electivire rolled around in the Gen IV Evoxplosion, I just thought it was awesome. Big and strong with two tails... basically everything to make Electabuzz better. It was immediately a staple of my in-game and competitive teams (I remember fondly partnering it up with Feraligatr for use as Motor Drive-bait), and I made sure I added one to my ASB squad too.

Elekid > Electivire > Electabuzz

Elekid is cute and simple and I took an instant liking to it. Electivire is cool too, but perhaps a tad overdesigned (it looks a lot more complex than Electabuzz for sure). Electabuzz is just plain ugly, in my opinion.

If I had to choose, I'd like Electabuzz the best :< That's thanks to Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap \o/

Electivire comes second, but it's only because I don't really see much of Elekid so I'm impartial to it *nod* Compared to 'Vire, who is a boss in CC battles~

I like 'buzz, 'vire comes across as a tad overdesigned, but he's still pretty badass, and Elekid... I don't really like Elekid too much. He's cute and all... But I can't help but compare him to other baby pokemon, and I prefer just about all of them to him.

My brother had an Elekid card in his deck that liked to cause problems with its "Playful Punch" Pokémon Power (though his Wigglytuff's "Do the Wave" was worse). Though I suppose due to that exposure and the fact I think it's kinda cute and creative I rank it first, followed by Electabuzz and then Electivire. Not a fan of any of the new evos Gen 4 introduced except for Togekiss, though it's not as bad as Tangrowth.

Unlike most of you pollers, I don't actually hate Electabuzz - I just like its evo/preevo better.

First of all, it's 34 people that have voted so far, not 36.

Second, the current scores for last place are Elekid (13) = Electabuzz (13) > Electivire (8). So while Electabuzz certainly isn't doing terribly poorly, he's still tied for last place.

Third, before you showed up and probably around the time phoopes made his post, I think Electabuzz was clearly in last place all by himself. So you someone must have come along since then and voted in support of the original Hanshin Tiger Pokémascot.

Fourth, scores for first place are currently Electivire (15) > Electabuzz (13) > Elekid (6).

That episode suddenly makes so much more sense.

I like Electabuzz the most out of the three. I actually like it. Electivire is okay. But I hate Elekid.

Electabuzz is the only proper answer, Elekid and Electivire are deformed monstrosities.

The only reason people like Electivire is the higher base stats and expanded better move-pool. When it comes to Elekid, and other baby types, it's fairer to judge on appearance because babies have no competitive value.
