We have the underdog who had some allies, but was alone at times in the game, and the top dog which was apart of a successful alliance which got him to the end. Who win will? First, I wanna have a summary of the season:
Episode 1-
In the Seafoam Islands, near Kanto, 18 Generation Pokémon were split randomly into two tribes of 9. The Viridian tribe won their first challenge, sending Lavender to the first tribal council on Survivor Pokémon history. Only two people sent confessionals, one from Ponyta, explaining that she and Lapras had formed an alliance of two, and wanting to get Snorlax out. The other confessional was from Pikachu, who sent me a convo between himself and Mew, with plans of adding Wigglytuff to their duo. At tribal, a lot of single votes, including a self-vote from Chansey, but ultimately Snorlax was the first person voted out, in a 4-2-1-1-1 vote.
Episode 2-
In another confessional by Pikachu, he had extended his alliance to have himself, Mew, Wigglytuff, Vulpix and now Poliwag. Viridian win again and Lavender goes to tribal council. The tribe work together and send the inactive Chansey out to benefit the tribe in a 4-2-1-1 vote.
Episode 3-
The Lavender tribe win immunity for the first time, sending Viridian to tribal council. Gengar and Koffing become a duo. Raichu and Koffing both find idols on their tribe. At tribal council, Poliwag decided to flip and vote out Vulpix, but Jynx went home anyway in a 4-3-1-1 vote. Pikachu analyses the votes and knows Poliwag was the backstabber. Pikachu and Vulpix talk and become stronger. Pikachu also talks about Vileplume, Lapras and Krabby being allies from the Lavender tribe when a swap or merge comes.
Episode 4-
With Poliwag not voting with his tribe, Pikachu figured it out it was Poliwag. Wigglytuff had given Koffing the heads up that Pikachu, Vulpix and Mew were going to blindside him. Luckily, Koffing had an idol, and in the last few minutes left of voting, Koffing played his idol and in a shock for Pikachu and his allies, Vulpix was voted out in a 3*-2-1-1-1 vote. In a confessional, Poliwag praises Koffing in secret, and this tribal paints a huge target on Koffing's back. Pikachu panics that his closest ally went home.
Episode 5-
Pikachu only trusts Mew and Wigglytuff and wants Gengar to vote with him to get out Koffing and Eevee, not knowing Koffing and Gengar are allies. Eevee is known to the tribe as a wildcard, just voting randomly with no allies and playing a floater game. Ponyta mentions Lapras and Ninetails being close, and wants to use Ninetails as a vote, but their vote to send Ivysaur home fails as Ninetails self-votes and Vileplume is voted out in a 3-2-1-1 vote, with Ninetails, Raichu and Ninetails self-voting.
Episode 6-
Ponyta wants Ninetails to go for being inactive, and in a 5-1 vote the Lavender tribe work together for the second time to send Ninetails out.
Episode 7-
The merge happens, and Pikachu is very happy, and talks about his plans for his allies Mew, Wigglytuff and his Lavender friends Krabby and Lapras and evolution Raichu in hopes he can form an alliance with them. Poliwag feels threatened after flipping Pikachu's alliance. Lapras makes an alliance with Ponyta and Raichu. Someone decides that Koffing is a big threat and should go home. Koffing even said he feels isolated from Gengar and Wigglytuff and in a 4-3-2-1-1-1 vote, Koffing is sent home. Raichu feels like he doesn't have much power even with an idol, and says his main ally is Lapras, and not Ponyta.
Episode 8-
A new big alliance forms with Pikachu, Raichu, Mew, Wigglytuff and Lapras, which leaves Ponyta out. Pikachu wants the inactive Ivysaur out, but Lapras plots with his alliance to take out Poliwag who has been under the radar since merge, and Poliwag was sent home in a 6-2-1-1-1 vote, with for the first time no self-votes.
Episode 9-
Pikachu feels in control and explains how we wants his allies to put the blood on their hands so he can have an easy win. Raichu also feels safe in his alliance. Ponyta feels quite alone. In the vote, Ponyta says the best line of the season at Gengar in her vote "We never talked and we were originally on different tribes. Being a ghost type suits you". At tribal council, Ivysaur and Gengar were removed for self-voting twice, even thought Ivysaur was also voted out in a 6-2-1-1 vote.
Episode 10-
After the double tribal council, it is revealed that the jury has started. Pikachu notices that Lapras and Ponyta are quite close and plans to break them up soon, which shows signs of cracks in this alliance. The main alliance of Pikachu, Mew, Wigglytuff, Raichu and Lapras decide to vote out the wildcard Eevee and in a 7-1 vote Eevee went home.
Episode 11-
Pikachu tells Mew and Wigglytuff to vote out Lapras. Lapras wants to take out Pikachu, but fails when Pikachu wins immunity. This ultimately sent Lapras out in a 3-2-1-1 vote, officially dividing the alliance between Pikachu, Wigglytuff and Mew vs Raichu and Ponyta, with Krabby in the middle.
Episode 12-
Raichu doesn't want to be seen as a sheep and is pissed at Lapras' blindside and is gunning for Pikachu to go home. Pikachu then wants Raichu out, putting the evolution against each other. Ponyta finds the merge idol. At tribal, Raichu plays the Lavender tribe idol on himself, and luckily saves himself but because Ponyta didn't vote for Pikachu, it was a tie in a 3*-1-1-1 vote, but Krabby was removed for self-voting twice.
Episode 13-
It's now the Viridian 3 vs the Lavender 2. Raichu and Ponyta talk more and become a stronger duo than last episode. At tribal, Ponyta used the idol on Raichu and Pikachu was sent home in a 2*-2-1 vote, shocking a lot of Pokémon, including Pikachu.
Episode 14-
With the 2 Viridian vs 2 Lavender continue to fight, it was a 2-2 tie between Mew and Raichu, so they fought in a tie-breaker and Mew was sent home, bringing Wigglytuff against Raichu and Ponyta.
Episode 15-
Wigglytuff was lucky enough to win the final immunity, finally splitting up the Lavender duo, and chose to vote out Raichu for the fourth and final time, making Ponyta in the final 2 with Wigglytuff.
I looked through a month's worth of mails and what happened to give you that summary, so a plus on this blog would really be great thanks. There may of been more that happened, but I only know so much from the limited amount of confessionals I got. If there was something I missed out, please comment or mail me and I might add it in.
Okay, now the moment you've all been waiting for... the vote reveal!!
The seven jury members have voted, and there is a winner
Congrats to Ponyta, and all the other 17 Pokémon who played. A lot of you were fun to have, others were disappointing to be honest. Now I'd like to do a couple awards.

Raichu (With the 2 idols used on him and a tie-breaking win under his belt, I'm confident if Wigglytuff took Raichu to the end Raichu would of won, not Ponyta, Wigglytuff winning the final immunity is what got him voted off)

Pikachu (Pikachu sent mails every episode/round and even figured out who voted for who in Vulpix's elimination tribal council, figuring out Poliwag flipped)
Now, I'm gonna do a check extra segment, the best moments of the season are:
•Vulpix's elimination and Poliwag flipping
•The double tribal council, where Ivysaur and Gengar were both removed
•Lapras' plan to blindside Pikachu being foiled and Pikachu taking him out, breaking the 6-Pokémon alliance up between Lavender and Viridian
•Pikachu vs Raichu
•Pikachu's elimination
•Wigglytuff taking Ponyta instead of Raichu to the end
Okay, now I'm going to reveal my candidates for All-Stars and Second Chances.
All-Stars is a season where the most entertaining people from previous seasons compete to be the winner. Usually this season is a lot more intense and no floaters, something I love. Second Chances is a season where I may of not seen enough of you and had a "moment", or you really had a shot at winning, but fell short. Ideally All-Stars is like the best of the best, and then Second Chance season is more lesser quality.
All-Star Candidates: Ponyta, Raichu, Pikachu
Second Chance Candidates: Lapras, Koffing, Poliwag, Vileplume, Vulpix, Snorlax, Jynx
So that's officially the season. Done. All wrapped up. I'd like to once again thank the entire cast for playing. All 18 of you, I honestly think this laid back and chill season with only idols as the twist was better than more recent seasons of Survivor US. I really hope Season 2 is as good as this, thank you <3
From the bottom of my heart, please plus this reunion blog and comment! Fans, players, everyone. If you wanna be apart of this, I can reserve you for the next applications, Season 3. Season 2 will start shortly.
Why does this feel ironic to me? Anyways that aside thanks for the great season Macda27 it was a blast to play even if I didn't win, I've met some great people and I'll see you in all-stars my friend (I hope).
