A poll on Pokémon.com lets users vote for one of the 493 Pokémon introduced prior to Generation V, with the winning Pokémon to be distributed around the world via the Global Link system.
The "Vote to Befriend a Pokemon" poll on Pokémon.com has now been made available, and it lets users vote for one of the 493 Pokémon introduced prior to {{bp|Generation V}}. The winning Pokémon to be distributed via promotion on the {{bp|Pokémon Global Link}} will be distributed with its Hidden Ability if it has one. With the voting period from Nov. 1 to 30, preliminary rankings will be released every Tuesday of November, and the final results are scheduled to be tallied and announced on Dec. 13. The winning Pokémon will then be available from Feb. 1 to 29, 2012 to those with international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) Global Link accounts.


The poll is called "Vote to Befriend a Pokemon" and the most popular Pokémon will be distributed in the {{bp|Pokémon Dream World}} with its Hidden Ability if it has one. Preliminary results will be released every Tuesday, and the final results are scheduled to be tallied and announced on Dec. 13, 2011. The winning Pokémon will then be distributed from Feb. 1, 2012 until Feb. 29, 2012.
The same polls have previously been made available to those with Japanese and Korean Global Link accounts, with the winners being {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, respectively — Pokémon with no Hidden Abilities. [[Pokémon Global Link announces three Japanese promotions|Another poll]] is currently ongoing in Japan, which allows users to pick between one of the main series {{bp|version mascot}}s.
 
Unlike two previous polls that have picked Global Link event Pokémon, the winning Pokémon will be distributed outside of Japan and Korea. In the first Japanese poll, users picked {{p|Arceus}}. In the Korean poll, {{p|Rayquaza}} was selected. [[Pokémon Global Link announces three Japanese promotions|Another poll]] is currently ongoing in Japan, which allows users to pick between one of the main series {{bp|version mascot}}s.
