Character of the Day Face-Off!

[Avegaille]

Character of the Day Face-Off!​

Before this Face-Off starts, we need to know what a “Character of the Day” is exactly. It’s a term used for minor “human” characters in Pokémon, but they are the main focus on a certain episode. Because this face-off is all about the anime, even Gym Leaders in games can be considered CotDs.

How do you determine a “Character of the day”?
1. If they only appear in up to 3 episodes.
2. If they never make a return on the next upcoming seasons;
3. Or, if they did, they only appear in one episode and never returned again on another new season.
3. They are the focus on the current episode.

So who are the characters in the “Character of the Day”?
1. New faces in anime of course.
2. Featured characters in games but only a minor in the anime. Specials are excluded.

What about the characters not allowed in this Face-Off?
1. Main characters of course… XD
2. Characters who have appeared for more than 3 episodes and/or returned on a new season;
3. Or had one to two episodes in a season and returned for more than 2 seasons.
4. Also in addition to that, are the Gym Leaders and Frontier Brains due to having a Character FO around.

Can’t you make a list of characters excluded for this Face-Off?
Sure, why not. Take note this is the anime (excluding specials and movies). They are:
Ash Ketchum, Misty, Brock, Gary, Prof. Oak, Delia, Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, Jessie, James, Giovanni, Tracey, May, Max, Drew, Harley, Hikari/Dawn, Shinji/Paul, Nozomi/Zoey and anyone else who doesn't meet the requirements above.

Now that we have that all cleared, it’s time for the Seasons!

Anyways, for The Rules, please read them:
1. You can vote once per day for every round, and if you’re an expert in time zones, you’ll know that my time zone is GMT+8:00. The basis of your votes depends on my time zone. So, if you voted on a time in which it is not yet the next day on my time, your votes will not be counted. If you wish to know how many hours you can vote from the time you have voted, just tell me. Please, I don’t mind doing it at all.

2. Nominations will starts with 16 competitors to avoid “byes” and rounds go off with 10, 15, 20 and 25 votes. For your nominations, if you wish, you can use Japanese names, but be sure to provide me the English name… x.x

3. Make sure you check the last page to see what we’re currently voting/doing.

4. As much as possible, no bashing of other characters. Just don’t do it. Ban awaits you if it ever happens. Bashing to me is saying anything negative. Just don't do it at all. >.>

5. I’m still thinking if I’m going to implement that “if no one votes on a day, I shall quickly move on to the next round with the character having the highest points as the winner for that round.” If you don’t wish for this to happen, make sure you stay long on this Face-Off… =P

What can they do?
1. They can tally votes, move on to the next round when the number of votes have been reached while I'm not around.

If you wish to apply, please send me a PM.

You know, I do not see why this is becoming such a trend lately...

I will begin with Blaine, since he appeared in I beleive two episodes and was quite an interesting character, even for being a Gym Leader. How often may we nominate? Are mnominations allowed? What about e-voting?

 

[Infinite Master Sceptile]

Otoshi is my nomination. He owned, seriously.

Don't ask, I just need to see who is really willing to help. And I'm not sure about the other terms, but depending on the people knowing about this Face-Off, for now, one nomination per person.

1. Sabrina/Natume – Avegaille
2. Blaine/Katura - Agent Myst

Otoshi is my nomination. He owned, seriously.

Could you please give me the English name at least? Or maybe Japanese name? o.o

 

[Illegible]

Here is he...he is the person with the Marowak in "Bad to the Bone", IIRC...

 

[Infinite Master Sceptile]

Otoshi is the name in both Japanese and dub, I think. I'm referring to the guy from the episode Bad to the Bone. He had a Marowak and a Doduo.
EDITarn, beaten to it.

 

[Orion-Sama]

I say you'd better scrape Gym Leaders off this. As I see it, even if they technically ARE characters of the day, they're well-revered and a bit too popular as a whole to be even compared with the average character of the day. Just my opinion, though...

I'd rather not see the phases swept by Gym Leaders all the time... but up to you. ^^

Now... um... Kanto characters... quite a few cool customers.

Ummmmmmmmm.... I nominate the awesome AJ.

But if I did that, there won't be not many chracters to choose from, and I'm not very familiar with chracters from the early episodes, so that's why I need some help... And oh, does your nomination have a Jap name?

EDIT: nvm that... XD

Anyways:

1. Sabrina/Natume – Avegaille
2. Blaine/Katura - Agent Myst
3. Otoshi - Infinite Master Sceptile
4. AJ/Akira - Orion-Sama

[taitofan]

*thinks back to the first season*

Can I nominate Jessebell/Rumika? She was in that three second flashback in Shinou, but she never actually appeared again other than her first episode... If not I'll think of someone else. ^^;
