    Okay cool!

    I'm super busy with school, so I'm going to have to wait until the weekend to finish my review, that okay?

    Well, I love your idea but how about we just team up instead of taking somewhat the same idea in different directions? Here, to show me that you are capable as in terms of knowledge of Pokemon battles and you will be dedicated and not drop out after you see how much work this can really be, even if not all of them are mine.

    So, I need you to Review 1 Pokemon of your choice in the same format that I put mine.

    (Your opinion of the Pokemon)

    (Special name of moveset)
    -Move 1
    -Move 2
    -Move 3
    -Move 4
    Item attached:
    Ability:
    Ev's and Nature:

    (Detailed description of how the attacks, item(s) and ability should be used / their purpose in battle. Be sure to make this interesting with attack calculations, jokes etc...)

    If you can do that, I will gladly welcome you to the crew :)

    Well, my idea comes from the fact that there is so much untapped potential in the 5th Gen. It's like.. rating individual Pokemon sets instead of teams. Zoroark, for example. I noticed that everyone just says, "this is the way it works forever and ever" and I couldn't help but to think... "well, why not?". It's not so much writing reviews for a Pokemon, but picking a Pokemon and coming up with "best case hypothetical situations" for new sets. Theorymon, to be precise.

    So like, a new member shows up and says, "Okay, I've got an idea for a set. It's a Rain Dance Charizard". And then the raters can show up and basically say, "Okay, that wouldn't work because of *insert facts*, but it might work during *insert hypothetical scenario*". As you can tell, this idea is in its infancy and highly undeveloped. Just pretend that all the sets you posted in your thread were sets that you came up with and we all responded accordingly. That's what I'm going for here.

    Personally, I don't know if this is going to take off. But I'm thinking of posting one of my own soon, just to test it out. This isn't going to be a carbon copy of your reviews, but I still felt obligated to let you know that it was your post that gave me this idea. Your involvement (in my head) would be that of a "poster" (someone who can come up with a new set) and a rater (the person who rates someone elses set) which is what I would hope for everybody, to be honest. As for my involvement in your reviews, I don't know. xD; I'd love to help as a fact checker or something small like that. It seems like a lot of work so I'd love to take some of that load off of you and participate! I've got some pretty cool skills in CSS and organization. Why don't you pick me out a Pokemon to review and I'll PM you a resume of sorts?

    Whoa, cool! I'd gladly let you be apart of it and appreciate you recommending this. Two questions though:
    1. How would you like to help?
    2. If this does become a part of CBC, will I be in control of it / the only one doing it still?

    Hey there! I just wanted to tell you that I think you've got a cool thing going on here with your Pokemon reviews. I really appreciate you making reliable sets for certain Pokemon and I think it could be very valuable for new members. I'd love to be a part of it somehow.

    I'm talking to some other members about making this a part of the CBC. And you're review concept is the seed of this idea, so I'll keep you in the loop about this.
