Xenogears beats Pokémon after a troubled poll restart

Xenogears beat Pokémon Gold and Silver after the original poll had to be restarted because of a voting bug. The writeup considers anti-Pokémon sentiment an important part of the loss while also crediting Xenogears' Square RPG appeal.

Pokémon Gold and Silver sends Final Fantasy Tactics home

Metal Gear Solid won, but Pokémon Gold and Silver looked strong enough to pressure it early and comfortably beat Final Fantasy Tactics. Tactics' decline from its 2004 form became the main casualty.

BGE 2K9 Round 2 1998-2000 Pokémon splitting hands Metal Gear Solid first place 1

Metal Gear Solid won, but Pokémon RBY remained impressive despite sharing the poll with Gold and Silver and Majora's Mask. The result made MGS look vulnerable for the next round while rehabilitating Majora's Mask somewhat.

LFF: The writeup says Pokémon Gold and Silver leeched heavily from Pokémon RBY and cost the older generation first place against Metal Gear Solid.

GOTD Round 1 Northwest Pokémon GSC wins but loses ground in the title debate

Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal won easily but bled enough support to strengthen the writeup's belief that Majora's Mask was the stronger title. The match is framed as an early warning for Pokémon's championship hopes.

GOTD Round 2 Northwest Pokémon GSC keeps pace with Majora's Mask

Pokémon GSC answered Majora's benchmark with an even larger blowout of Mario Kart Wii. The result kept their coming matchup debatable while also extending the writeup's criticism of Wii-era contest strength.

GOTD Division Semifinal Northwest Majora's Mask destroys the Pokémon GSC hype

Majora's Mask ended the heavily hyped Pokémon GSC run almost immediately and overturned the comparisons many people had drawn from the prior four-way contest. The writeup treats the result as another major rejection of four-way extrapolation.

BGE 2K15 Round 1 Division I Pokémon GSC crushes The World Ends With You

Pokémon Gold and Silver overwhelmed The World Ends With You in one of the round's cleanest blowouts. The writeup treats the result mainly as confirmation that GSC remained a major Pokémon game on the site.

BGE 2K15 Round 2 Division I Melee's rally turns a safe win into a statement 1

Melee was already winning comfortably when its fanbase began a successful rally that inflated the final result. The writeup later treats this as an early trial run for the far larger Melee rallying still to come.

Rally: The writeup says Melee fans organized a noticeable rally despite already leading comfortably, boosting Melee substantially over its natural level against Pokémon GSC.

What this is

Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags (SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the match.
