I can't remember my favorite forgotten Pokeman. :s
I'll explain because I'm helpful:
What's happening is a poll. It's open to everyone except the Japanese and Koreans, who have already had this poll. You don't need to be registered and you can only vote once (there are ways around this).
At the end of the month, the Pokémon that wins will be released as a dream world event to everyone with an account. It is unknown if it will have special moves, or if it is of a set gender. If the Pokémon has a DW ability programmed into the game, it will receive this ability, but the two previous winners were not Pokémon with DW abilities (Arceus and Rayquaza).
You are allowed to vote for any of the 493 Pokémon that existed before BW, but when voting please consider these guidelines:
DO NOT VOTE for a Pokémon with no DW ability (unless it's an event legend, if you really must)
DO NOT VOTE for an already released Pokémon, even if it's only released as male. (Exceptions to this rule are Vespiquen and Froslass)
DO NOT VOTE for an evolved Pokémon. If you vote for Lucario, you miss out on Prankster Riolu, and all of riolu's moves.
DO NOT VOTE for a Pokémon that needs an egg or tutor move to be useful (shroomish)
DO NOT VOTE under the assumption the Pokémon will be breedable, unless it's female only.
Might I also suggest not voting for an event only Pokémon, as none of them have DW abilities and all of them have been released before. If you don't have one, consider trying the trade forum, instead of using this event when it could be used for things which genuinely are as of yet unreleased.
Competitively, the best things to vote are probably, in dex order
;132; Ditto (Changes from a useless gimmick to a top tier revenge killer with just one ability change, and is fun and easy to use to boot)
;145; Zapdos (Will lose Heat wave, but becomes a great Pokémon for dealing with all the thunders and thunderus running about)
;243; Raikou (Will lose Aura sphere, gains similar boosts to Zapdos)
;245; Suicune (Will lose Sleep talk, but becomes a great counter for rain teams, and is great in double battles)
;249; Lugia (Will lose Roost, but become much harder to take down. Recover and multiscale make for an amazing wall, as has already been seen with dragonite)
;250; Ho-oh (No longer crippled by stealth rock, Ho-oh simply survives for much longer. Ho-oh doesn’t lose any valuable moves either)
;378; Regice (Will lose Counter, commonly overlooked, Regice could be the key to making hail as good as the other three weather conditions. Think Walrein, but cooler.)
With Bagon (Will lose Outrage and Dragon Dance, but improves power wise), Froslass (guaranteed breedable for Moody Glalie) and Shroomish (Will lose Bullet Seed, but becomes much stronger) as runners up.
In my opinion Ditto, Zapdos, and Lugia are the best out of these.
Also, where do I go to vote?
As far as I know, Regice also loses other moves which leave it with only being able to use defensive sets properly. Hopefully there will be some good move tutors in the 3rd version of B/W.
