[gym-leader-aes-showdown]

Let's get the rules outta the way first!

All polls will be tagged "#aesthetic gym leader poll" and (appropriately numbered) "#round 1 aes gym leader poll"

The participants in this bracket are PREDETERMINED! All Gym Leaders and their direct counterparts of Trial Captains and Kahunas are involved.

REDESIGNS Do not qualify!

The ELITE 4 do not qualify. That's a different bracket to consider! Spare my small, clumsy hands more bracket work?

You VOTE FOR the Gym Leader you think is the most Aesthetic! It doesn't have to be YOUR aesthetic, but you must at least grudgingly acknowledge that they vibe deeply with an aesthetic. A deeply personal choice. Be kind. Vibe together.

Propaganda Period is from Sept 19th to Sept 24th! Send me those good, delicious propaganda! My inbox is open. It will close image submissions after the propaganda period, though their bracket images are already decided.

I have only played Ruby and watched the dub when I was a lil gal. My sibling is super into Pokemon but has a favorite so I decided to run this joint. This makes me as unbiased as possible, as I really just love the color pink.

EVEN THOUGH THE BRACKET IMAGES ARE ALREADY DETERMINED, I WILL PUT SUBMITTED CANON AESTHETIC IMAGES OF THE GYM LEADER IN THE PROPAGANDA BENEATH POLLS!
