Hi! Since somebody else made a retro character poll, I've been inspired to make a modern day character poll!

These are the choices:

Anybody that has been in a game N64 and up. Years: 1996 and beyond.
Don't exclude characters that debuted in the retros. Any character that has appeared in a new game in the qualifying years are accepted.

You may cast 3 ballots at a time!

Oh, and by the way, if I have enough votes by tomorrow, maybe I could do a quarterfinals thing.

Well, get to the voting!

What does this mean for gameboy, GBC or GBA? It also feels kinda weird talking about the N64 as a modern day console considering that thing retired more than a decade ago. I'm also wondering whether it's the characters we want the most with no limit to third party or pick the ones that are likeliest?

Realistic one:
Isaac from Golden Sun
Andy from Advance Wars
Lyn from Fire Emblem

unrealistic one:
Banjo-Kazooie
Conker
Phoenix Wright


Pick whichever is more fitting to the kind of poll you want, if it doesn't matter, the bottom is my favorite.

Realistic:

Sami/Max/Andy Advance wars (they work similar to Pokemon trainer and can summon different units).

Lyndis

Skull Kid


Unrealistic:

Conker

Joanna Dark (N64 version)

Turok (the Franchise has 7 games on Nintendo platforms haha)


So I guess that's 2 votes for Andy and Lyn now?

Maybe you should establish from which decade modern characters come from

Can you please establish what new game Takamaru is from? I'm not saying I can't allow him, I just need to know if Takamaru is eligible.
Captain Rainbow, Samurai Warriors 3, Nintendo Land

I also vote balloon Fighter

Could we please establish that if a character is quite popular in the retro poll, he shouldn't be in this one aswell, otherwise there's very little point for there to be two polls. Takumaru, Balloon Fighter are obviously more geared towards retro characters, even characters like Little Mac are way more iconic as retro figures that modern ones.

It follows his rules. I'm voting for them if they follow his rules

Not that they are well established
