Challenge Bowl '12

Don't know if our favourite teams had to relate on the team we'll be using in-game - but mine isn't; anyhoo, my favourite team (The team I for in the AFL) is the Richmond Tigers.

It doesn't have to. My team is primarily Alabama themed, but my band Pokemon is related to my college band, and I don't attend Alabama Uni, so yeah. Haha. That's just in the sign up so I know who read the rules clearly... ;)

And yes, Screech is a sound based move. I might have missed a few when I was making the list, so yeah.

You could take a look at this list of sound moves.

Bug Buzz anyone?

I'm not even a true fan of Cricket, I just thought that it would be the most amusing theme, as I could not find enough Pokemon to suit a Kendou-based team without the Sacred Swordsmen, Samurott or Escavalier.

Dehli Daredevils Cricket Team



#1 - Star Player, Conkeldurr
Powerful with the closest representation available of cricket in B2W2. Slams the ball to score all of the 6-pointers as necessary.

#2 - Cheerleader, Lilligant
Looks suitable for the part, with appropriate stats and movesets.

#3 - Mascot, Emboar
Due to the logo of the team being a flame (and a hand), any flaming Pokemon
suffices. I chose Emboar due to its appearance and easy availability in the game, however.

#4 - Band, Seismitoed
Due to somewhat limited options, I chose to use this over Sigylyph. It has a more suited moveset of sound-based moves for my team.

#5 - Fanbase, D(h)elibird Yes, the name is the exclusive reason for this decision.

#6 - Sponsor, Absol I always kind of thought that this Pokemon somewhat resembled my impressions of Indian folklore. It is for that reason that I included him.

Pokémon:
1: Blaziken: Blaziken represents Aussie Rules Football because it uses a lot of kicking moves and it would allow it to play AFL really quite well.
2: Plusle: It has 95 base speed and learns Growl.
3: Murkrow: Represents the Adelaide Crows; mine and Nica's favourite team. I'll have to hack it though.
4: Minun: It learns lots of the moves.
5: Magcargo: Because I'm slow compared to the strong and fast players of AFL.
6: Corsola: The only Pokémon on the team that isn't Red/Yellow/Blue (colours of the Adelaide Crows)
Team: Adelaide Crows

If my favorite sport is Starcraft, do I still need the physical moves?

...Starcraft as in the video game?

Yes, I watch competitive Starcraft

And yes, I too was wondering if Bug Buzz was considered a sound move by chance :) and I is fixing my team with help from a friend

I wouldn't really count Starcraft as a sport tbh...sorry. :/ And yeah, Bug Buzz will count. I'll update the list of moves and challengers in a bit.

Okay, I'll do my favorite real sport, football. And I'll monotype it, just cause.

Game: Crystal

Star Player: Totadile/Crocanaw/Ferligator (Most players are large/strong)
Cheerleader: Staryu/Starmie
Mascot: Wooper/Quagsire (It's a WATER fish - pretty generic mascot)
Band: Goldeen/Seaking
Fans: Chinchou/Lanturn (Fans put some crazy stuff on their heads)
Sponsor: Seel/Dewgong

Hope this is OK

That's fine. Sorry about the Starcraft thing though. :( btw guys, you're free to start the challenge whenever you're ready and update whenever you're ready as well. Just remember that if you go without updating at all and the challenge ends, you won't get your emblem. I'll need to see that you won most of your season so yeah.

I guess I'll be the first to update so far :3.Today, I started up my old Emerald and now up to Rustboro before the gym battle but training a little with my team members. Here's a brief summary how it went:

-Started up my game,after a dull speech from Professor Birch I called myself Carrot.
-After shrinking to a tiny size I woke up in a huge moving truck ._.
-When I hopped off,Mum started talking and then showed me my room.
-Set the clock to 11:13AM.
-Withdrew the potion from my PC and watched the program.
-Introduced myself to some random neighbours and met May,a stuttering girl.
-And then as I headed up, I found Professor Birch being chased by a Zigazoon.
-Chose Mudkip as my starter.
-After saving Professor Birch I decided not to nickname him since he doesn't have a spot on my team D:.
-I did the tutorial things and successfully defeated May before coming back to the lab.
-Got the running shoes. THANK YOU MUM :D!
-After getting my Pokeballs and a Pokedex I headed to the route west of Oldale and captured a female Ralts

-Nicknaming it Lucky,I trained it up to Level 8 before battling all the trainers with it's new move,Confusion.
-Then after trudging through Petalburg Forest,battling some twins,bug catchers and rich people on the way,I made it to Rustboro City.
-First,I got the Quick Claw then met a man inside a house who gave me HM01 Cut.
-After that I decided to head up to the route east of the city and caught myself a male Whismur and female Nincada. (Bob and Nina.)
-Training Nina was a pain so I gave up at Level 11 and trained Bob easily to Level 12 along with Lucky becoming level 14.
-Right now, I'm beating all the trainers easily on the route before heading to my first game of the season :3.
-Saved.

Woo, update time.
Got the spiel from Professor Juniper, picked up a Tepig from the gift box.
Caught myself a Patrat on Route 1 for Cut purposes, then continued on to Accumula Town. After getting the Running Shoes (thank god), I caught a Purrloin on Route 2 and named it George. I don't know why, it just sounded good. I grinded George up to level 13 for the first game.
Poor George was outmatched, though, by the superior moves of the Striaton team. His lack of STAB let him down. After a rematch, George and I continued on, rescuing the girl's Pokemon from Team Plasma and getting to Nacrene City.
Venturing into The outside of Pinwheel Forest, we caught 2 new team members, Ted the Timburr (named after my granddad, who was a dock worker) and Temper the Tympole (named after The Temper Trap, who played at this year's Grand Final). We are currently training for our second match.

Team Phon:
George the Purrloin (Cheerleader)
Level 14
Scratch (ugh)
Growl
Assist (Does this count as non-damaging?)
Sand Attack
His ability is Limber, which is appropriate for a cheerleader, lol.

Ted the Timburr (Fan)
Level 14
Leer
Focus Energy
Bide
Low Kick

Temper the Tympole (Band)
Level 13
Growl
Supersonic
Round
Bubblebeam

Current standings: 0-1 (how embarrassing...)

Since Assist implies that it's a support-type move (I mean, assist means to help so come on), I'll count it as non-damaging.

Hey all small update

Just stared up tonight

Picked up my starter

Mephiss the Tepig (Sponser) and took out our rival Hugh's Oshawott...and with help from a friend I have recieved 2 eggs

Elana the Piplup (Star Player) *hatched a girl* :D gonna prove girls can play football to lol
Roshu the Pachrisu (Fan)







The Adventure Continues...

Quick question, are we allowed to change our teams during the challenge? Like if I found a shiny, I might want to use it. Or if Slaking sucks too much with his ability.. Or I will keep it as Vigoroth, using an Everstone.

My team as of now:
Slakoth lvl 7
Taillow lvl 11
Zigzagoon lvl 9

Currently training all to 11, before going to rustboro.

Edit:

Made my way to Rustboro city, where we managed to catch a Whismur! Now we got 4 of the team of 6 already and all will be needed for the upcoming game! After some fierce training, the team was ready to take the match!

It took a while, but we actually won the battle, using only one Super potion in the end. Geodude was dead soon enough, but Nosepass needed to be weakened with growls, until taillow got killed. I only had Speedeh the Zigzagoon left, which spammed Tail whip until it had no PP left. After that Headbutt spam, until no PP left. Then a few Tackles finished him off!



Screenies of the team after battle:


Another edit: Also beat Brawly effortlessly, GO TAILLOW!

I have decided to change out Hitmonlee for Hitmontop, since the Sounders' star player, Fredy Montero, is a technical forward, and Hotmontop gets the Technician ability, while still being a kicking machine!

That's the only change I am going to make, the rest will be the same.
