I'm facing Seth?! Oh. Crap. Might as well give up now :(

Pfft. No giving up! ^^ You have three matches to make the semi's, so no pressure. Even then, there will still be a loser's bracket champion.

I guess that's one way to get a win, but I doubt you mean it ;p

I should probably use this time to think of Pokemon to put into the box, as well... XD

I am STILL working on my pokemon in my box as well. I'm a lazy GM. >.<

I did most of ones I wanted to put in the box. I may add more, but not till later. I wanted to get a bare bones SU up quickly.

And I do mean I'll probably lose. Underdogs always win. Plus Leon is designed to be a "rival" character as that he opposes any "good" characters. And what happens to rivals in every Pokemon game? :/

That is true...so maybe I do have a chance of getting somewhere. If I make it to the semis, I will be pleasantly surprised though. I just have some gut feeling I will disappoint the ambitions of my own creation. Maybe I should have added a sob story to Leon to make his story tragic.

Though I wouldn't say Seth's a "good" character. He isn't a "bad" character either; more like a misunderstood antihero. Honestly I like antiheroes more than heroes... My point being that it's not one or the other when it comes to the "light" and "dark."

I suppose if we're talking probability, I guess Seth might have a chance to reach the semifinals, but I won't hold my breath. Can't assume he will, or it'll go bad. Then again, with my luck he'll be dead last regardless... At the very least he can be a good trainer hired to spar with a finalist... X3

I have a little pessimism in me, too XD

Hey... Anything can happen, you know? We all have a chance to win, and even if we don't win our first battle... There are other battles! No one is down OR out, by any means. And as I said... Once the four winners move on to the semifinals, the "rejects" if you will, will play in a loser's bracket tournament. The prize won't be nearly as big, nor will the trophy... Still.

This tournament (and the others to follow, if I do go through with my plan) are designed to have the best eight trainers there is. So... Winners bracket, or losers bracket... There's no shame in this.

Bumped to allow our lovely GM a chance to explain things :P Battle systems ahoy!

Much credit to Alex for that "bump"! ^^

Okay, so it has came to mind, that I have not quite made the format that the battles, or conversations between characters should go. I feel like a complete buffoon for not addressing this earlier, but I do so apologize. Here's how I am (thinking) it should go--

For the battles, it should be done in Joint Post format. Being honest, I didn't quite know what this was. Once it was explained... I thought that it was the best idea. ALSO! When you do indeed joint post, make sure that both trainers involved in the post are listed at the top of the post. It will prevent confusion.

For important conversations, I ask that you also do these in Joint Post format. I realize that it saves some the hassle, and is more effective/as well as saves space.

Furthermore... And this is my last note...

If there is an issue, please do address it with me. I realize now, that there are things here that I do not quite grasp just yet. So, if that is the case... Please address it with me and with me only. With no intentions of being drastic, if there is a case where a matter is discussed without me, but involving my duties as a GM, and I find out... I'll issue a simple warning. Anything after that means dismissal. I'm not as stiff as I may seem... And for what it's worth, I'd love to get to know each of you better than just your SN's, or your character names.

Thanks in advance!

More bumpage. I should get paid for this :P And erm... things can continue now :)

Get paid? No. You were supposed to announce the good news that you FINALLY posted... ;) Sir.

It's now Raikiri's turn. For those that aren't familiar with the posting order, just as precaution I will go ahead and post it again.

Raikiri posted. It is not my greatest work, but it gets the job done methinks. So get to posting other peoples.

^^ I thought it was a good post, myself. That's just me, though.

I am working on my post as I type this. It's about to get interesting... ;)

Alright, I'm back from my vacation, and I shall await my turn...Which is actually slightly far. Dx

Not that far... Be patient. xD
