Normally I wouldn't vote Gardevoir as my top pick for Queen of /v/,but the version of her in that animated short where she basically has a human boyfriend endeared her to me way more than ever before. She was very cute and expressive instead of just being regal.

I assume that the animated short is what's given her such a push this year. She wasn't my first choice, but I'd be fine with her winning with many of the votes being for the animated version in particular.
