The art poll stage is one of the most defining moments of a CAP, as my good friend reachzero once said. Nothing else in the process really captures that reality that we are creating a Pokemon like seeing form given to numbers and words. Now we must begin the arduous process of choosing that form.
This poll operates slightly differently from other other polls in CAP. It operates similar to IRV, but is actually a variant of bold voting. You are allowed and encouraged to vote for as many entries as you want. Be aware that order does NOT matter in your votes! What matters is that you like it enough to vote for it, and it doesn't matter in which order you cast your vote. Make sure you vote properly. Make sure that you bold your votes and nothing else! A typical vote might look like the following:
This poll will be open for 48 hours.
When voting, use only the author's name! The list of possible votes, in order of final submission in the topic, are:
Unlike many past CAP TLs, I have not chosen to blindly slate anything that is legal for a final submission. There were a few entries that, while meeting all of the rules for a final submission, I felt were very outlandish and out of character for CAP 2. You may ask who I am to pass such judgment, but to that I respond: the TL. I have been incredibly lenient on what I have passed forward into the poll, and only removed things that I felt were extreme cases. Please note that the quality of the drawing did not impact my decision, but rather the nature of the concept itself.
The following final submissions in the topic were not allowed to move onto the poll for due to breaking the following rules:

The following final submissions in the topic were not allowed to move onto the poll for due to breaking the following rules:
- pkmn-taicho321: Lacks clear and apparent outlines.
- bubbly: Lacks clear and apparent outlines.
- Solstice: Lacks clear and apparent outlines.
- MLaRF: Uses a transparent background, instead of a white background.
- Energy Storm: Action effects present and lacks clear and apparent outlines.
- ZcX: Lacks clear and apparent outlines. (Red slime area)
Good luck!
