LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 And thus somehow Vaporeon ends up against two very popular high tier Pokemon. Welp. Vaporeon beat legends, it can beat these two as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Scizor is on my kill list and I don't care much for Vaporeon therefore Hydreigon gets my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I dislike Vaporeon about as much as that one person; also it killed Latias and Espy, so sure as hell isn't getting my vote. Scizor and Hydreigon are left, but more inclined to vote the hydra. Also note that Scizor/Hydreigon are shiny; Vaporeon isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 RNG wanted to see this match happen, not me. Remember when I said Vaporeon would have an Arc-V vibe to it later on; that's exactly what happened. Even before this tournament, I really didn't like Vaporeon much.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 We're not renegades. We're not mercenaries. We're about honor. Where honor no longer exists, we're going to step in. We are a shield from bias. We are Vaporeon's shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethera Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Aaand voting Scizor cuz I like it better than the other two. Also I think that shininess makes all three Pokémon uglier but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 You're comparing Hydreigon to Shun, who everyone hates. You're comparing Scizor to Yugo, who no one really knows that well. And you're comparing Vaporeon to Sora, whose depravity is awesome. [spoiler=Appropriate] Vaporeon: Don't even joke about it. I can win a contest like this while licking some (Rare) candy! It's just a game. There's no way I'll have to be so serious. ...You can never hunt me. The ones who are hunted are always you. [/spoiler] Ironically, I like shiny Hydreigon's color, but not as much as its regular. I hate Shiny Scizor's color. I'm not fond of shiny Vaporeon's color, but no longer hate it...oh wait, it's not the shiny color? Vaporeon wins my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yeah, the correlations really don't match up this way. Personality-wise, Hydreigon's species name somewhat matches Shun based on actions so far; but probably a bad indicator. Scizor, I've no idea why. (Could've just left him as some bystander) Vaporeon's correlation was mentioned a few times already, so won't elaborate on it. Probably there if we consider whoever it's beaten in the earlier matches as The Resistance. After this tournament ends, I'm taking a break from hosting the GPT for a couple months.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 And it looks like Vaporeon may very well be a dragon-slayer yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yeah, although I can probably attribute that to Vapo being an Eeveelution, and essentially how much publicity it's been getting lately. (Toyo wrote the exact same thing when they voted last time, and probably the 3rd round) I know that one member voted for Vaporeon (against his own favorite) ONLY because of the Sora/Academia treatment, but there is a reason for it; if people actually bother to read the notes. (Plot-wise, makes some sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 You know I'm going to post another Sora quote if Vaporeon actually loses to Hydreigon somehow. Doesn't seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 To be fair, Sakura, you're the one who made the reference. How people take it isn't going to be how it was meant always. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I am Vaporeon's protector because it's a victim of injustice. I have no loyalty to it, I have no feelings for it. However, so long as it is subjected to bias, I shall be there, making sure injustice doesn't get its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Plus it's SOOOO cute. It just knows it'll get its way. Maybe even get other people's pancakes. Okay seriously, now I'm going to be mentally associating Vaporeon with Sora forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Maybe another reason why the reference worked. (Technically speaking, it's been compared to Lotten/Z-ONE earlier; Sora only came up because the correlation between his actions and what happened so far in the tournament matched) So far, Vaporeon's been getting its victories, even when others wanted its life gone earlier on. I'm getting over my hatred of it though, but either way it's not really one of the Eeveelutions I would use on any given day. No offense for those who do like it. You know I'm going to post another Sora quote if Vaporeon actually loses to Hydreigon somehow. Doesn't seem likely. Yeah, unless Hydreigon pulls a miracle comeback to force a tie with it, you probably won't have to quote Sora from his last completed match. I did suggest GPT 4 to be a faction things of sorts (Academia, Resistance, Standard and whatever organization Yugo belongs to), but it's up to you if that should be how it run. Or Zex suggested a Smogon-tiered one earlier in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Well then, even without UE's vote, Vaporeon has a nice lead. Dragon Slayer, Vaporeon here we come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethera Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Idk I'm not too fond of Vaporeon honestly...I don't dislike it but...eh. Compared to Sylveon, it's nothing. NOTHING. Because Sylveon beats all (and is a better dragon-killer in every way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 @UE: You do realize Hydreigon's going to be cursing you to the grave, right? If it were real, pretty sure it'd be ripping you to shreds at the end of this, like it did with Ghetsis in B2W2. (You get the point though) In terms of the Eeveelutions, it goes like this (favorite to least) Espeon -> Jolteon -> Glaceon -> Sylveon/Umbreon/Leafeon/Flareon -> Vaporeon As stated, while my hatred for it has died down; Vaporeon is really the one I like the least.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hydreigon still has 2 1/2 hours left to get votes, but indeed it'll have some catching up to do. If Vaporeon wins, it either faces the flame moth or whatever of my nominations are left. That line was for flavor reasons (essentially for betrayal), but factors into Hydreigon's dex entry + the B2W2 thing (I think that's what happened) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 There's always the W-3 match for Hydreigon if you want to see how things would've turned out if it did survive within the next 110 minutes to Round 6 (and take out Vaporeon).

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Oh yeah, I forgot I set this one to end at 9 pm because of its usual inactivity from previous rounds. Anyway, Vaporeon/Sora moves on and puts dents into the Resistance and whatever organization Yugo is from. Who shall its opponent(s) be in the semifinals? We shall see.
