Nyarth's Pokémon Elections Diary #16: Nyarth Dreams of the Election!

The interim report didn't have me in the top 100.



Not being in the top 100 means I could be ranked anywhere from 101st to 720th.
If I'm ranked 720th, that means I have to overtake 719 Pokémon.



Just what rank do I have!?
Please tell me!!



Ah! I was having a nightmare...
Hey, Munna! Could you eat my nightmare?

Huh.

That's Munna for you.
I can't remember what I dreamed at all.

The Pokémon on the top of the "Pokémon Elections 720" is me!

I dream of going on a journey just the two of us... One where, despite its initial extreme puppy feel... like, when it is a Pochiena I need to protect it... I grow totally dependent on Graena during the course of the journey...! I just can't get enough of how it gnaws on things all the time, being a Dark type and all...!!

The people turning in ballots for the "Pokémon Elections 720"!



If you go somewhere for Golden Week,
I'd really really like you to try dropping by stores and theaters

See, I've realized the following:
If I, someone who's not yet in the top 100, is going to win this,
I need all you guys to help me.

The way it looks so dumb is really cute! And since it's Dark/Fighting type, it's really easy to use from the very start of the game! Its Ability being "Shed Skin" makes me assume the sagging "pants" is actually its skin. It's my favorite Pokémon.

I just love the way it looks. The rabbit-like ears, the circular eyes, the fluffy fur around the neck... It's just way too cute. It's also really awesome how it can evolve into many different Pokémon.

Nyarth's Pokémon Elections Diary #11: My Public Promise...

I sometimes think about the near future,
about what comes after I've won the "Pokémon Elections 720".



Once I've won...
I'll let you stroke me in PokéParler to your heart's content.
I promise you that stroking me will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

This is my public promise to you all!!

What? You're telling me to promise to evolve from being stroked?
Only Nymphia does that kind of nonsense!



Ooow!
Nymphia-chan just slapped me!

Once you want to evolve someone, just plain leveling them up will always be the superior method!
That aside, send in a vote for me!
