CAP 31 - Part 15 - Pokedex Poll 1

CAP 31 So Far

-----

This will be a multiple bold vote - vote for as many options as you like. The order of your votes DOES NOT matter. A typical ballot might look like the following:

An Entry I Approve
Another Entry I Approve
Yet Another Entry I Approve

Any comments would go below the votes in non-bold text.

All ballots will be revealed at the end of the poll and votes will be counted via automated scripts. If you do not compose a legal ballot, your post will be subject to moderation.

• Do NOT bold anything other than the options you are voting for.
• Do NOT put any formatting other than bold in your post.
• Only one option per line.
• Spellings must match EXACTLY the options listed below.
• Capitalization and spaces are ignored by the counting scripts, but you probably should not depend on it.

Asking for votes for your submission or for the submissions of others is not allowed. Anyone found to have done so risks punishment at the moderation team's discretion. If you find that someone has broken this rule, please contact the CAP moderation team with your evidence and no one else. Mini-moderation of this rule is also considered a serious offense and can be punished.

The voting options are:

dex

Saharaja, the Sultan Pokémon

Sword: Saharaja is coveted by treasure hunters for its ability to sense lost riches in the desert sands.

Shield: It hoards valuable gems to trade for water from desert wanderers. Saharaja can carry up to two tons of gemstones, saving up for local traders.

NoahIOTJ

Saharaja, the Sultan Pokémon

Sword: When Saharaja is adorned with the gems on its back, it is gifted sovereignty over the desert.

Shield: Saharaja treats other Pokémon it comes across with disdain. It won’t even share an oasis with desert dwellers who need it.

Saharaja, the Sultan Pokémon

Sword: A very competitive species, Saharaja are always found in groups comparing diamonds. The Saharaja with lesser gems have to follow their sultan without fuss.

Shield: A Saharaja’s status among its peers is determined entirely by the size and cut of its diamonds. Those with perfect gemstones naturally rise as royalty.

Bloopyghost

Saharaja, the Grand Vizier Pokémon

Sword: Its brilliant blue gems, which contain water, have made it a favorite of desert royalty. It spits upon those it deems unworthy to be in its presence.

Shield: Particularly petty rulers would "gift" a Saharaja to their enemies, its high expenses and grating pompousness bringing them to ruin and bankruptcy.

Ubertrainer2000

Saharaja, the Extravagance Pokémon

Sword: This regal Pokémon has brought the downfall of many kings, who have tried to abuse its ability to produce crystals out of the water it stores.

Shield: The crystals Saharaja holds are said to be extremely valuable, to the point that treasure hunters will abandon their original targets on the sight of one.

Ayecrusher King

Saharaja, the Grand Vizier Pokémon

Sword: When beset by poachers, Saharaja wipes them all out by detonating its gemstone humps, though repeated attempts can result in fatal dehydration.

Shield: Once revered for its ability to create riches and oases, Saharaja's fatal flaw was its own greed and pride, which led to the fall of ancient kingdoms.

thundergoos

Saharaja, the Exuberant Pokémon

Sword: Saharaja tracking is a popular pastime for treasure hunters and those in search of riches, as its footsteps are known to leave behind precious gemstones.

Shield: Despite its regal appearance and association with diamonds, the crystal deposits on Saharaja’s back are actually large natural formations of zircon.

Bice

Saharaja, the Magnificent Pokémon

Sword: For millennia, the people of the desert have treated Saharaja like royalty due to its ability to store water in its humps for extended periods of time.

Shield: A very haughty Pokémon, it expects to be treated with the utmost respect wherever it goes. Anyone who doesn't meet its demands will be trampled to a pulp.

Zetalz

Saharaja, the Sand Gem Pokémon

Sword: The gems on its back have been formed from the mixing of sand and water inside its body. If these gems are removed, Saharaja will replace them over time.

Shield: The egotistical attitude of this Pokémon bewilders any who attempt to train it. A Trainer who has gained the trust of a Saharaja commands great respect.

Shadowshocker

Saharaja, the Imperious Pokémon

Sword: Legends speak of ancient desert civilizations that flourished from this Pokémon's ability to form precious gems from sand and water.

Shield: A haughty Pokémon that only bequeaths its gems to those who it sees as its equal. These diamonds were a symbol of one's right to rule.

Explosion Badger

Saharaja, the Sultan Pokémon

Sword: Haughty and arrogant, even the smallest of offenses will send Saharaja into a rage. Only the most diligent of Trainers should handle this Pokémon.

Shield: Many ancient kings have sought this Pokémon out. Its pristine coat and brilliant gemstones must be cleaned to its liking, lest it spit sand at you.

Tommaniacal

Saharaja, the Merchant Pokémon

Sword: Herds of Saharaja forcibly take over oases, only letting those willing to trade pass. They have accumulated great riches from thirsty people and Pokémon.

Shield: The Saharaja with the largest humps is declared leader of the herd. Strong and resilient, they are able to travel great distances in search of water.

Unsee

Saharaja, the Aristocrat Pokémon

Sword: Daring merchants will tease Saharaja, then quickly shield their faces with precious wares. Its spit makes for an excellent jewel polish.

Shield: Desert sunlight may refract through a Saharaja’s gems to create a watery mirage on the horizon. Lost wanderers have often mistaken this for an oasis.

Pipotchi

Saharaja, the Sovereign Pokémon

Sword: A regal ruler of the desert, Pokémon bow their heads when Saharaja appears. It roams its territory for days without tiring.

Shield: Its crystals reflect the harsh desert sun to create a dazzling blue beacon on the horizon. For this reason it is known to travellers as the Walking Oasis.
