This can only end in tears

You don’t have to bethatintoPokémonto have a favorite Pokémon. That’s the beauty of these games.

Participating in the poll is as simple as typing “Pokémon vote”into Googleand filling out a nifty little form. Considering the series is approaching 900 creatures, you have alotto think about here. The poll is split up into regions – Kanto, Johto, Alola, etc. – and includes Galar fromPokémon SwordandShield.

Here’s the fine print:

When you’re signed in to your Google account, you can cast one vote per category for a maximum of eight votes daily. You can vote only once in each category per day, but you can vote each day during the voting period. Votes will be counted based on the Pokémon’s National Pokédex number, even for Pokémon that have multiple forms, including regional forms.

I doubt that Gengar, my eternal bestie, stands a chance, but I genuinely hope someone other than Pikachu or Eevee can take the spotlight in this competition. Who do you think is in the running?
