Pokémonday voting 56 (02-19-2024) (Patreon)

Welcome to the fifty-sixth Pokémonday voting post!

Last week's prompt was:

...ideas for version-exclusive Pokémon!

I accidentally forgot to make the prompt post available to $5 tier Patrons and up only, so I had to delete bunch of comments by lower-tier Patrons. Check out the ideas I picked from the remainders below!

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

Prompt: Ideas for a the second batch of Fossil Pokémon!

Winning ideas: A caveman ape (half-frozen undead forme) (by Foxdoc) and a spinosaurus (by The Negotiator)!

Runner-ups:
2: A Carnotaurus (by Shelby Kinkead and Peter Passalacqua)
3:A sabertooth tiger (by Captain Rocko)

Both the caveman and the spinosaurus got the exact same amount of votes, so I had to do a coin flip to choose between the two (I put the video evidence in the Discord channel). The Spinosaurus won!

I won't lie: the idea of doing a twist on the half-revived forme by making the caveman still partially frozen was a lot more interesting to me than yet another big bad dinosaur, so I was really rooting for the caveman, but alas, fate chose the spinosaurus. I had no idea how to give this one a creative twist so I ended making it a counterpart to Tyrunt/Tyrantrum, referencing the T. Rex/Spinosaurus rivalry. Hey, it's something.

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