I think I'm going to tuck 'Psyduck isn't part Psychic-type' into the corner of my mind reserved for Facts About Pokémon I Refuse To Accept, along with 'Dratini is six feet long' and 'they aren't real'.
Anyway!
Round One of the Steel Cage Pokémon Battle I Guess? is now closed; here is Round Two. I was planning to post this at four o'clock, but I've just realised that I'm probably going to be on a train at that time, so have it now instead.
(
f_march_madness, the competition that inspired this, is
now underway! I am biting my nails over the Supernatural and Doctor Who polls, each of which is a neck-and-neck race between two characters, one of whom I wouldn't be able to support if they ended up representing the fandom (Dean Winchester because he's won this entire game before and the Tenth Doctor because I don't really like him). I'm sort of desperately hoping that Donna Noble will magically jump seventy votes and take the Doctor Who category, because I love her so much, but I'd be happy with the Eleventh Doctor. Ruby jumping eight hundred votes to win Supernatural seems a little too much to hope for.)
Please continue to campaign by posting drawings of your favourites in the comments! (The use of MS Paint is encouraged, and enthusiasm is more important than skill.) Contributions in the last round:

AND NOW:
ROUND TWO
Remember that you're voting for your favourites, rather than the Pokémon you think would win. This round closes at 16.00 GMT tomorrow (the third of March).
Poll TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST ...I'm trying to show impartiality as the contest holder, but I can't help it. BULBASAUR, I CHOOSE YOU.
