Iris' Hydreigon says hello =b

No but seriously, while I don't know how easy it is to acquire, Lapras is fantaaastic. If that's a no-go, I say Poliwrath 3:

She wants Pokemon that don't require trading to obtain, so Jellicent and Starmie should be in.

Go with Keldeo, Jellicent, Starmie and Gastrodon.

I noticed your Vaporeon was named after a Fairy Tail character.

Another Water I can suggest might be Simipour. You can catch Panpour in the Lostlorn Forest (shaking grass) and they have Scald right from the get-go, it also has a good movepool which makes it a fun choice for your mono-Water team.

Not to mention I love monkeys too, given my Chinese Zodiac sign is the Monkey.

Aaaaahhhh Geez, you're making me feel bad now. I apologize for my rudeness. I took a quick look and I liked the one with a close up of Red's face, it's two after the one with Red in a team rocket outfit.

It baffles me that anyone could be close to 1000 avatars. XD I'm on my 69th.

All I can say really is that peach looks like an ass.

Haha, it's alright. I didn't mind. Was just giving clarification - in case you thought I'm some moron with zero comprehension skills. :P

ALSO this doesn't matter but I can't see any strikes. :P

Also, me being on my phone doest't help. Phones suck! D:

Excuse me if I made errors.

I read your post, Tara. It ain't like I have comprehension problems either. Hence the first sentence of my previous post. All I was trying to convey was that you could only get so much of user feedback on a blog post. I understand how you'd want everything to be as organized as possible before you post a thread. But dont you think you have a good draft now? I mean, there are basically only two questions which are up to debate: what should be the time span between the two PPCs and would themes be a good idea. You and netto have already approved the whole previous winners may enter rule but that can be up to debate as well. All I was saying was you have a good draft, a few questions and require user feedback and a thread was the best way to go, imo. But what may seem sufficient to warrant a thread might not for you and I understand that. Therefore, I stated that it was just what I felt should be done; not that what you should necessarily do. If you get what I mean.

I probably won't be able to be any more elaborate. English is my second language, after all. :P hope you understand. Even if you don't, we can agree to disagree and leave it at that. Cheers!

I understand why you went for a blog post instead of a thread. But I guess you probably won't be able to get as much user input on a blog as you would on an official thread. The decision for the change in time span between PPCs is something which can be done in a much more efficient manner if we get as much feedback as possible. Go for a thread, Tara, I'd say.

And is it possible for announcements to be reply-able (I know that isn't a word w/e)? I mean, all announcements I have seen have been locked and they garner attention better than normal threads do. You can garner attention AND get more feedback if we have reply-able announcement. :o

I would have posted a thread about this so it gets more attention btw. xD

Anyways I would think that we could simply allow previous winners to join again considering that the current schedule of switching from OT to PT and back again would make that work I guess?

Well, if I remember correctly, they allowed past winners to participate and go for the win. But even if they won, they won't really be getting any emblem. Consider it being like one of those matches in boxing where they winners defend their crown by smashing all the other contenders into the ground. In short - If winner is a past PPC title holder, he won't get anything and will merely be there to increase competition among newcomers. Plus, there are plenty of previous PPC winners like me who might wanna participate just for the heck of it. I mean, its not like there are just a few past winners. Quite the opposite. Implementing this rule will have two benefits - It'll increase competition and might actually incline more people towards participation due to their competitive spirit or somethin'. And second - all previous winners who've just been watching along the sidelines will have something to do and might even help out in promotions in a much more efficient manner because they're personally excited for the PPC and want more competition (or MOAR NEWBIES TO ANNIHILATE MWAHAHA!).

..I guess, that's it. It has one problem, though. The time period between two PPCs can't be as long as 3 months if past winners are allowed. It might frustrate people and turn 'em away if only four PPC took place and half of the time the past winners won. :P

The "if you won previous PPC's you cannot participate again" kinda drifted away a few people...or that's just what I've seen in my perspective. As Dero mentioned, you should let previous winners participate again. I was thinking of limiting how many times a winner can participate in the PPC, but idk...that'll still drift people away. lol

I wouldn't mind doing "themes" for the contest, kinda adds uniqueness to the competition, and it brings many ideas and well-creative profiles. Like for example...for the release of B2/W2, maybe we can make a PPC in Pokemon Trivia having contestants create profiles based on anything B2/W2?

Those are just thoughts. And I wouldn't mind being a host for the event, actually. I have so much time myself these days that idk what to use lol. I was wondering whatever happened to the PPC. I've always wanted to participate again (since they're really fun!), and I was waiting for news of the new PPC. xD
