POTENTIALLY RIGGED!!
When the official Nintendo Dream poll was dropped and Primarina and Incineroar scored a stunning respective 3rd and 12th place, which was much more than people expected due to the hatred poured upon them by owlfags at the beginning of leak season, what really took people by surprise was that Decidueye wasn't even in the top fifteen and so the LEAST popular fully-evolved Alola starter - all the moreso because this was dropped the day before Incineroar's debut episode any any true starter shilling. As I mentioned before, this and Incineroar's debut episode caused true owlfag fandom on /vp/ to collapse due to their chosen starter clearly not being the "next Greninja" as assumed, and only helped by the fact Decidueye was starting to rapidly drop in Smogon ranking and Incineroar starting to become a beast in the VGC.
Comedy Relief Anon, at this point, simply lost it. What was once a dumb but still reasonable starterfag, wanting to hype up her owl as the best, instead turned dark and sinister. Clearly, something was wrong! Wait, that's it! RIGGED POLLS, and the screencap I showed, posted a couple days before the Dream poll dropped, was something CRA clung to for dear life even though it was a Japanese dude giving an unexpected hint to Primarina and Incineroar's actual popularity the poll would later prove. CRA would obsessively claim for months after Game Freak rigged the polls, or "barafags" voted illegally, or that girls' votes shouldn't count as true votes or indicators to a Pokemon's popularity. Yes, Comedy Relief Ano was sexist. She also began to try to dump the CRA name onto others or call them Comedy Relief Nigger, proving she's sexist AND racist. Some links:
