Gible With No Guard when it comes to Draco Meteoring Piplup
Shelgon I still don't get why dragons form pupae
Kyurem The overlooked dragon who won't shine until Gray
Druddigon Does this helmet match my skin?
Vibrava Evolves into my fav Dragon, nuff said.
Latias Not as famous as her bro, but a rad (See what I did there?) wall nonetheless
Altaria NOT the Finnish rock band
Bagon The cute baby dragon that I always nickname BACON
Feebas Splash, Tackle, Flail, BLIZZARD, rinse and repeat
Zweilous The new and improved Doduo
Palkia The dragon with the controversial design that our next contestant will continue to exploit...
Reshiram No comment about its appearance, PLEASE.
Haxorous A lumberjack's best friend
Kingdra The only Gen II Dragon, but has both Clair and Lance rooting for it
Lugia No one ever remembers that it's NOT Water/Flying
Treecko Best Grass starter ever, period
Scrafty Wears a hoodie LIKE A BOSS

Let the voting BEGIN!

Kyurem +1/Arbok -1
Gotta promote the new movie/Someone has to go, no offense Jessie

{reshiram} +1 / {kyurem} -1
Not only typewise, but even in gray, I'll take my chances with my beloved Reshiram. Kyurem is hard to train and doesn't have a good moveset. Kyurem's only perk is the high amount of HP.

/
One of my favourite dragons / one of my least favourite Pokémon

/

Cool as all . This thing is a beast in battle. / What is this? It looks like a gray walnut with legs, not a dragon.

/
My favourite legendary/It's a bird not a dragon imo

/

D-air is one of my all time favorites (about #4) / Gible is more of a 'derp' poke. Also, in one of the few anime episodes I bothered to watch, Ash gave up one of his actually good pokes (gliscor) to make way for "OH MY GOSH DRAGON TYPE!!!!1" So yea

Up / Down

Kingdra is one of my favourite dragon type Pokes.
I think that Feebas is a waste of pixels, to be honest.

*NOT A VOTE*


That depends on your definition of "Dragon". I want more variety than a gallery of Dragon-types. Arbok, Feebas, Treecko, and Scrafty are included for being in the Dragon egg group, Lugia is because it's somewhat dragon-like and Kingdra is lonely.

*Not a Vote*




*Ahem* I see a contradiction.

Also: I took out "per day" in Rule 1 to avoid further confusions, but still keep this in mind:


Also: I'll stop quote abuse now.

Would you like me to delete one of them?

*Still Not a Vote, Just Making That Clear*


Yes, thank you. Preferably the later one, please.

And...we have only 2 days left until the round closes.

Dragonite has always been my favorite Dragon pokemon, and will likely be my consistent immunity vote this entire competition. The fully evolved form of the only true Dragon-type family from Gen 1, it holds a special place in my heart. / Feebas is the most annoying thing to catch EVER, especially in Emeraly where you have to actually pay attention when you're fishing. Kill it. Arbok is next, though, as an un-dragon-like snake. (Würms don't count in my book.)

Edit: Also, how did you choose these 20? It seems like there are some glaring omissions. Latios (offense > defense)? Rayquaza? Shelgon AND Bagon, but no Salamence? Vibrava but not Flygon? And why Feebas but not Milotic, or Treecko but not Sceptile? I feel like Hoenn got the shaft; only one of their 5 or 6 awesome dragon types/dragon egg group pokemon got included.

*LONG RANT ALERT*

There's some noticeable holes in your question: who decided that offense is always better than defense? Only popular final evolutions and uber legendaries are worthy to be voted? You didn't complain that I have Kingdra and Haxorus but not Horsea and Fraxure? Because I picked seven preevolutions and not-too-popular Dragons from Hoenn means I'm neglecting it - which is in fact one of my favorite regions? Who decides which are "awesome" Dragons?
Before starting this PEC I decided not to let it be dominated by super popular dragons (*coughCharizardcoughDialgacoughGyaradoscough*). Instead, I spread my candidates between some basics, some teenagers, some fully-evolved, and some legendaries. Few popular Dragons (i.e. D-nite, Lugia) and mostly the weak, the overlooked, the physically or competitively unappealing - they, too, deserve a chance to shine.

A host is not obliged to appeal to his audience - especially not to every single one. I do, however, feel obliged to make myself clear. I did not mean to offend anyone, but if anyone do feel so, I believe it to be a subjective matter.

Also, I might have consciously or subconsciously left out Sceptile and Flygon and Milotic because I knew I'll be forever traumatized seeing people flaming my favorite Pokemon but of course I'm not going to admit that anywhere.

Now that's over, keep the votes coming!

After four sunsets passed, none of our candidates has received five votes of a kind as the round concludes.

(Remember that immunity grants Kingdra a free ride to Round 3)
LET ROUND 2 COMMENCE!

Scrafty +1/Arbok -1
Scrafty is just awesome on so many levels. Be it an urban punk or an Italian mafia boss or a bulky sweeper, Scrafty is the way to go
*averts Jessie's Glare* Well...I need to give someone the shaft and I'm a big fan of picking on Gen I Pokes.

Well, since I voted twice on accident last time, I'll just use my last vote that was deleted.
+1/ -1
Lugia is a great dragon, regardless of what AEP said last round. Palkia looks horrible and doesn't even look like a dragon. It is like the Sinnoh version of Zekrom. Lugia is amazing throughout all of the games that it appears in.

Druddigon +/Dragonite-

Honestly I like the looks of Druddigon, I dont mind using him in battle/ . . .. Im sorry D-nite reminds to much of Barney, I honestly dont play one that much

/
As I said in the other PEC, its sleek and cool / Same reasons. I also don't really like the other evolutions

/ Scrafty

Latias is pretty awesome.
Scrafty is ugly and I'm not a huge fan.

The Year of the Dragon began today. Huzzah.
Here we have the...

...And I HATE it.

Seriously, I still have no idea why people make so much fuss over "Omigosh even though that's a perfectly fine Pokemon that I like it's not dragon-like enough so I'll boot it"
"Dragon" is not a strict criterion used to judge these Pokes, but more of a theme used to pick them.
Also imo just saying "that Pokemon is awesome" and "I don't like this" is not good explanation to support your points.
*SHORT RANT ENDS HERE*

SO. Keep voting!

Fluffy cloud-dragon-bird thing that nearly swept my team in Pokémon emerald. 2 DDs and then EQ. Only a couple of lucky critical hits saved my nuzlocke challenge/Never liked it , (probably) never will. Losing nearly, if not, all battles in the anime didn't do it any favours either.

/

Arbok has always been one of my favorite Poison types, and has a really cool design. Not to mention one sacrificed himself to save my starter in my Fire Red Nuzlocke. We will never forget you Farim!

On the other hand, Dragonite is big, ugly, and now spams Hurricane. I'd prefer the abomination to be eliminated as soon as possible. Gible, you're next!

*NOT A VOTE*

@AEPMT: Hehe, I just left out the ones that have no votes at all from the scoreboard. I shall not abandon my little dragons! But if that's confusing I can fix that

@DragoBoy: Indeed. That fluffy bird alone makes Winona an actually tough Gym Leader...without Ice Beam (or a good Poke to use it since you're nuzlocking) it can sweep about EVERYTHING if you let it dance for a while. I suppose you lost some comrades?

@Farim: I only learned who you are a couple minutes ago, but I'm touched by your great act of devotion and self-sacrifice *sob* Rest in eternal peace!
