Guys, I hope that you ev train the pokemons, or else the challengers will defeat us.
I°know what I`m talking about. I had a battle against greene in the past (he`s the Heart & Soul Rock Leader) and lost 0-4, because I had bad moves and my pokemon weren`t ev trained. |
Hey Piplup, you forgot to add my clauses (its on the other page now) to my form! D;
Exactly...this league wont work out unless it is good, unique, and its solid. I think only me, Piplup, and マイケル have the solid gyms. The rest are unoriginal and dont have any proper rules. Lets make an effort!!!!!!!!!! |

I find the lack of faith and support disturbing... Anyways... I'll try and come up with better rules...

Lady Gaga, I`ve added your rules =)
PS : Leading a league for the first time is hard... |
Lol yeah. Maybe you should reconsider what gyms are staying and who needs to change or revamp their gyms. And be more picky in the selection. Then again, it is YOUR league and whatever you have in mind for the league is what matters the most. Just a suggestion
@Iyo If you don't know what EV training is or why it's useful, then you're never going to see Greene's point. His point is well made (and kind of obvious, sorry Iyo) and you should definitely think about what he's saying. In competitive battling, it's not all about type effectiveness or all-powerful moves like it is in-game, it's about creating a team of pokemon with roles and abilities that complement each other and work towards a common goal or strategy. That's not to say that teams are built with one specific strategy in mind (although some are), rather that teams are built to strategically defend and attack threats and opponents of the team. I'm no buff at competitive battling. But I have been watching youtube competitive battlers all summer long (and into the fall), played on Shoddy for a month now, and EV trained/ team built since the third generation. I'd like to say I understand the nature of competitive battling and basics of said battling. If you need any help understanding the true importance of EV's in competitive battling then I'd be more than happy to explain. I really think that if you are to become a battler then you should look into guides on competitive battling and participate in the smogon tutoring. I myself am going to sign up for the next round of tutoring on smogon (I've missed it three times in a row now, but they are re-doing the system to make it easier for people to learn). Don't be insulted by what he's saying, I think he's trying to help you but A) He's saying it bluntly B) You're taking the offensive and not really reading what he's saying C) You have different values in the game than others I personally think that the EV idea is novel, which matches the theme of the league, but it's not very plausible. It's not competitive battling without EV's. Anyone can just get some pokemon together and some moves and start battling. The next level is to find out what pokemon successfully uses what moveset and what EV stat spread and using it successfully and "correctly" (In the competitive battling sense of the word) Sorry you've been upset bro =/ |

No, I mean that if some gym's aren't very creative then you shouldn't just automatically accept them. Again, it's up to you and your standards. And maybe some of the gyms right now aren't very well thought out and half-assed and the gym leaders need to revamp their rules and conditions on battles to make it more creative and entice more people to battle.
|
Okay.
BTW, I`ve updated my Gym with more details and a better design. Do you like the design? If yes, then I can update yours too. |
Let me say something. Most of my experience in battling off PC has been against unEvd pokes. Unless you constantly hit your enemy over and over again without missing with a super effective move, beating them can take a while. I've had several epic un-EV'd battles. And with no OHKO or Sleep, and quick claw allowed, my challengers will see epic battles.
Edit: EVing takes time. New PC members and battlers often can't do it. They won't be alienated in my gym. EVing doesn't in the slightest more or less competitive, it just makes some Pokes go down quicker, some slower. |
EVing takes time, that`s right.
But I`m going to ev train some of my old/new pokemon, so they are more resistent against challengers. If you don`t ev, then you could also go for a shoddy battle. You can choose your pokemon, legal moves, legal stats, evs and ivs. Ta-daaa! You`ve got a team with good pokemon. But yeah, I`m going to bed now (1:47 AM). Good night and have a good day =) |

P.S. I love how so many people are making arguments about what battling is and how important EV's are when they really haven't a clue. |
Dude you're just all up on these people lmfao. Leave 'em be if they don't get it eh? ;D
You already made one person really upset haha quota is done for the day. |

basically, you should either use shoddy or start EV training.

Anyways id like to sign on as oneve the elite 4.
Ill try to think up some cool rule later but id like to reserve the position if at all possible. I can tell you that all battles will be doubles edit: geezus this league has only been going for less than 24 hours and its got 5 pages of replies o.o... impressive i guess and i guess i should fill this out... - Dunno what kinda gym yet.

An ev'd pokemon of your choice (as in ill breed and trade you one once you win, may take a bit of time) |
Nah, EVing isn't important, non-EVd's still need strategy.

+ Nature makes up another 10% difference =) |
That just makes battles longer, and postpones the inevitable.
Edit: Oh yeah, update my rules to include Evasion Clause. |
Quote:
BTW, how you think EV training makes battles longer is beyond me, since when you don't EV train you still get those 63 extra stat points, just they are randomly scattered and usually in stats you don't use; basically it means your Pokemon is weaker. All the same, I'm sigging these last two quotes from you because they are just so rofl lol any other stupid phrases that involve laughing. |
Hey Pip, I think I've decided on my gym.
Gym: Black Pyramid Type: Pokemon that are creepy in appearance/monstrous Rules: 6 verus 6 single, standard with item clause(no more than 1 of each item) Teams must consist of 3 uu/nu and 3 ou, bl counts as ou. No entry hazard such as stealth rock, toxic spikes, or spikes. Sandstream and snow warning however is allowed. Badge: Banshee's tear I know the rules and type seem weird, but I wanted something a little off the wall for elite. :) |
Wow, 5 pages when I was sleeping! XD
Just want to confirm that I'm still here, though I don't have my computer yet. :( I will fill in the form later. :) |
