Welcome to the fifty-ninth Pokémonday voting post!

Last week's prompt was:

...ideas for the fourth Gym Leader!

I love it when you all come up with slightly left field ideas that I hadn't thought of myself. This week had some real gems. Check out the poll below to see the ones I picked!

And now it's time to reveal last week's winner!

Prompt: Ideas for an ecologically-similar (convergent) Pokémon!

Winning idea: A bokken/shinai version of Honedge, Doublade and Aegislash (by Generic Hero)

Runner-ups:
2: A jellyfish version of Shroomish/Breloom (by The Wesinator)
3: A mountain goat version of Skiddo/Gogoat (by Aetos)
4: A plant version of Shellder/Cloyster (by Gabriel Silva)

I changed chambara to bokken/shinai, because apparently chambara isn't really a thing. As in: not in a way you could use it as an inspiration for three Pokémon. Chambara (more commonly spelled chanbara) is Japanese samurai cinema. I replaced it with Kendo, in which they use Shinai and Bokken (wooden swords) to fight. They don't use shields in Kendo, so I thought it wasn't fitting to give Mokubash a shield. Instead, it's a big Bokken ho wears classic Kendo-style protective headgear and wields two little Shinai.

Thank you all for your creative ideas and good luck to the ideas in this poll. May the best idea win!
