Actually who does say that :lol:

I imagine “Microsoft thingy” would be more of a hassle to spell out…

I'll create the next one on Monday! If there aren't any suggestions, I'll come up with the idea by myself :hinhinhin:

Maybe what is your favourite pokemon starter? Or is that too obscure?

There’s 29 different starters throughout the Pokémon games so I think that’s a bit much.

Yeah, that’d be a good one, although I’m not sure many people have a favourite type, including me

Why not leave the polls open until the next one is ready? They're open for maybe a week then sit for a month because no new one is made :shoote: I didn't get to vote

Counter to what I said earlier, I don't think I have any
type of ASD. I sometimes wonder over the parts of me that are more unusual, but none of them have symptoms that fit me outside of OCD, and while I still suffer from that, I've learned to control it enough to where it doesn't cause problems like it did when I was in my teens.

Something that really weirds me out are all these ads saying "Procrastination isn't laziness, it's a depression/ADHD response". I do procrastinate a lot, but even my brother was trying to tell me this recently, which seemed very unlike him. I got tested for ADD (or "inattentive" type ADHD nowadays) when I was 10 because I would always daydream, but that was completely a conscious decision on my end. I don't have ADHD symptoms at all, every decision I make is my own, I don't understand why it needs to be more complicated than that 😵‍💫

Well, I’m still thankful anyway, since the box art thread has 1 week polls and then is left to not be updated for half a year! :confus:

The forum doesn't have the activity it had 10 years ago, so under normal circumstances, I believe a week is a more than reasonable time for regulars to vote. The time it takes to change the poll varies depending on how much free time I have... I try to change it asap, but sometimes it's impossible!

Perhaps in this poll it would be interesting to extend it a little bit... In the end, in the last poll only three people voted, there were no new suggestions and the general interest doesn't seem to be as high as in the other polls. So, to keep the activity there, just remind me about it! And try not to bury the message, in the end it's impossible to keep track of everything :lol:

Let's take EdgeRabbit's idea... Since there are a lot of them, I have focused only on the classic trio. So, of these three... Which one is your favorite?

I’m gonna vote for Bulbasaur. Although I do find charmander cooler, in the first game bulbasaur has a major type advantage on the first 2 gyms and a slight type advantage on the third. By the time you get to the fourth you’ll probably have found a fire Pokémon to wipe the grass gym.

My favourite starter from the first generation has always been Charmander!
It's mainly because I love reptiles and dragons :lol:

Too bad I can’t choose more than one starter. Can’t decide between Charmander or Squirtle (screw type matchups)

Proceeds to throw flowers to you :mryellow:

I like all the Kanto starters definitely, which is why it’s hard for me to choose. I admit that I like Charmander and Squirtle a little bit more though but I still love you Bulbasaur. :heart:
