While making us spin stops for a specific task is a little odd, this is an interesting idea overall. I sort of expected the CD Pokemon setup to have to change at some point anyway. We’ll eventually run out of starters and pseudo/near-pseudo legendaries, so this makes some sense.
My opinions on who to vote for, like most people, mostly revolve around personal experiences.
Vulpix: A popular Pokemon with two forms, so this is a decent choice. I’d consider Vulpix, but am not sure if I’d vote for it in the end. It’s definitely not uncommon where I live, and that factors in a little because Vulpix doesn’t really excite me at this point.
Machop: Long mentioned for CD, this is more than likely my choice. I’m not a fan of this Pokemon personally, Machamp is already potent, and I have a 100% IV maxed-out version of it … but, I have failed to get the shiny so far.
Rhyhorn: If not Machop, I’m voting for Rhyhorn. I love Rhyperior getting Rock Wrecker and while I doubt it will make it more competitively relevant, the Poke-fan in me just likes seeing a Pokemon get it’s signature move. On top of that, it’s shiny hasn’t been released yet. Nice option.
Dratini: Absolutely not. If Dratini wins, I will have no part of this CD. As someone who has played since the beginning, I’ve had my fill of this Pokemon. Even after several gens were released, it felt like half of my 10K hatches were flipping Dratini. lol … besides, it already had a CD! Let other Pokemon get their moment. On a personal level, I already have the shiny (several, in fact) and have a maxed-out 100% IV version already as well. Not interested in the slightest.
I mean I wouldn’t mind shiny machop, it would definitely be my third choice, except I want a mon that doesn’t have a shiny form already released. If I have to grind harder for a shiny Machop that’s fine with me. And I or don’t really do pvp so whether it’s effectiveness in pve/pvp doesn’t really matter to me.
Rhyhorn: Nice shiny, strong evolve with a move full of potential. Clear winner!
Vulpix: Looks nice and I like the move as well. A good 2nd.

Machop: It is alleady shiny released. It is shiny available allready and has the best moveset. Why give it a CD with such a move? And yes: I need some shiny Machop as well.
Dratini: It allready has his CD, with his end year CD too, so new options please! Even last year some Dratini were available again!
Regardless who win - the idea is just brilliant!
The major fault of democracy is that each vote has the same weight.
Here players who are active will have to chance to vote multiple times having more to say than occasional players.
Absolutely genius idea!
I’m a bit worried about how far away Rhyhorn stands.
I guess you wouldn’t want to stand that close to a stampeding rhino in real life though…
I’ve given up trying to catch them with a curveball and usually just loop a straight one and hope for the best - but I don’t really want to be doing that for the whole time on a Community Day - when fast catching usually equals more shinies.
my point exactly… imagine you have a hundo you evolve in Feb with Superpower, by some lucky miracle you will find another hundo in August and keep it till December… click ‘evolve’ and bum! another Superpower hundo - congratulations!
move? And yes: I need some shiny Machop as well.
