Prism League Discussion (Previously "Our own Pokemon X/Y League")
This link will bring you to the thread you make your challenges in.
This link will bring you to the current discussion thread. The one you're looking at right now is the old one. Spoiler: Original Message
(This has gotten big. 0.0) This is the discussion thread for the Prism League! (Currently Beta) If you want the latest info on the League, check out the last few pages! I brought up the idea with Polar Spectrum, we started it, and this happened. Thank Arceus I brought Polar into this, because I just can not keep the train rolling by myself. Ever. The Prism of Honor goes to: Spoiler:
The Prism of Honor was given to people who were active in the early stages. |
I'm confused. How would this work?

Registered participants for league qualifier tourney: Antebellum (Showdown, possible X/Y) Polar Spectrum (X/Y) TGM (X/Y) Zekrom (Showdown, possible X/Y) BlueBoi22 (X/Y, possible Showdown) BadPokemon (X/Y) Srinator (Showdown) Euphoric (Showdown) Ferraligatr (X/Y) As it stands now, we have: 4, possibly 5 players competing on Showdown - and 5 potentially 7 on X/Y. This would de facto give all Showdown competitors listed above a spot in the league, and keep only two contenders on X/Y from placing as a leader or elite / champ. Okay. I am home. Explanation inbound. First of all, this thread, I think at this stage in the process of organizing a league, should be used for brainstorming, logistics, and suggestions / development only. We can run the league and get challenges going from another thread once we establish how it will work. The main idea, would be to operate like the anime or main games Pokemon league. Begin challenging gym leaders to acquire badges; and once you've obtained all 8 - challenge the elite 4 and the champion of the region. Since we have to deal with timezones and such, I think going out of order should be acceptable. Because I'd hate to see this idea killed by inactivity of any 1 member, or poor timing / time zones. That said; I'd like to PROPOSE (as in this is completely open to debate and change by anyone other than myself, because who the f*ck even am I [this kid, who he think he is] to start deliberating things like this) some ground rules.
And to elaborate, or go a bit more into detail on each of these beasics; We have 8 gyms. - As in 8 individuals, all different players, each with one unique pokemon type, which every pokemon on their team must be have naturally. The gym leaders may pick the battle format (singles or doubles - no rotation or triples) for their gym, and may NOT use any legendary pokemon. While facing the 8 gym leaders, challengers should keep the same 6 pokemon on their team (to prevent picking 6 hard counters for every gym type, and providing a challenge to both leaders and challengers.) but may change items. (because fairness and fun.) Challengers may have *1* non mascot or event legend (ie; No Mewtwo, Xerneas, Dialga, Darkrai, Genesect, Deoxys) - allowing trio members and non mascots (ie; Gen 1 bird trio, musketeers, D/P lake trio). We have 4 Elite 4 Members. I'mmmm not sure if, due to numbers, and how many people this may or may not garner right off the bat, if we want to make the Elite 4 different trainers from the gym leaders, or have it where you can be both at once; albeit with different types. Or, if challengers who beat the champion can become the elite four or champion. I don't really think I have an idea which would work better either. So totally open to suggestions on this one. But as far as battles go, same as Gym leaders I would think. We have one standing Champion. Totally open to opinions on how the champion should work too :v as well as everything really, but especially this since I have no idea what everyone wants on it. But; champion should probably cycle imo. We use 6 v 6 battles with X/Y Wifi Normal rules set. This basically covers what a lot of people know as tourney / smogon rules. No 2 pokemon with the same dex number, no repeats of items on a team, all that jazz. As I mentioned before, since the leaders are yknow, leaders of gyms, and the challenger is challenging them (durr) the leader picks doubles or singles - ORRRR - for some gyms, we have a leader for singles, and a leader for doubles. (Water gym, TGM and Blue? :D ) Six vs Six because we can have a bit of play through authenticity in it, and normal again, to keep it at level 50. Because I don't think we'll get many challengers if everyone has to level their entire team to level 100. So yeah, feedback and opinions here? |
I know that this is stated to be an X/Y League, but since Leagues are solely about battling, I thought I'd move this into BTB (hope you don't mind wolf and Zeffy).
Moves. Anyway, if Polar can get the rules and guidelines up, that'd be a great start. You'll also wanna advertise that this league exists (just do it in a way that doesn't break PC's advertising rule). No one's gonna sign up for positions and you won't get any challengers if people don't know about this. And good luck. ....Maybe I'll join in on this once you guys get the ball rolling. |
Thanks for the support and suggestions Zekrom, I'll get on a proper and formal list of ground rules as well as promotion as soon as I can. My phone insists on correcting Pokemon to pigeons and pushpins constantly though; so rather than risk people thinking I'm promoting some weird New York office building version of cockfights- I'll wait the extra hour to use my laptop. :1
Very excited though. |
Ooooh, I might actually have some rules for a pokemon league I tried to start that can give us a place to start, Polar.
Also yeah, I was asked to be a part of this as well. edit: also I call water gym before blue |

((If I lose, I'll take ice instead)) |
I cosign this, looks like it could be fun
|
No one asked me, but I'm still wondering how it would work. Once the initial order is set, do you basically - as a newcomer - battle the low man on the totem pole and try to take over the spot? Meanwhile, others can try to move up the list?
|
I'm guessing that's how it works
|
So if you want to take over a type, you bring that type of team and challenge that leader? One can take over an E4 spot this way, too?
The Champion is usually not restricted by a type. I would have thought this was a thing where people can challenge everyone in the group, beat them, and be Champion. The idea is that the teams, gyms, etc. are pre-set and not modified. |

I think it sounds good so far (although <//3 for missing tripples but oh wel :''D)
Champion wise... In a way it would be fun if the champion would be whoever beats the elite 4 and remains the champion until beaten by another who will then replace him. But that might be a risky business as the champion might become inactive or so. :( |

xD I'm sorry - I didn't know you liked triples! Or anyone :x I was under the impression it was the one no one played - but hey, if you wanna do triples, and if enough people do - I could deal with it :3 my gym if I become a leader will so be doubles only huehuehuehue |
Don't really get what you are explaining

I agree that this thread should be used to develop the league and gather/formulate ideas. A neat and organized thread can be made once everything is straightened out.
I think that the Gym Leaders is easy enough, though we have to make sure that these people will be active; some past leagues have fallen apart because some of the gym leaders were really inactive and so people couldn't get all the badges and lost interest. But how are the Elite 4 and Champion to be decided? In the games, the E4 and Champion are stronger than the Gym Leaders. Would we hold a set of battles to decide who can be in those spots, or will we just put in whoever wants the positions? Speaking of the Champion, I think it'd be best to not have the person who defeats all the Gym Leaders, E4, and Champion become the new champ, just in case it ends up being someone who's not a terribly active battler after they win. Having active league members is important, imo. As for personnel, we need a total of 13 people, and we appear to have 8 people willing to become Gym Leaders/E4/Champion atm: Cyclone, Blueboi, Antebellum, TGM, Ultraviolence, myself, Polar and Adam. So we need a few more.... And one other thing: Can we please not have Item Clause? I really hate Item Clause. |

Quote:
On those members you mentioned; yes yes yes - I'm in personal communication on and off the forum with at least 4 of those people, so I can definitely harass- I mean, check up on them to maintain activity and ensure it stays alive. Although we'd probably all have to be in contact through at least 1 other form than this thread once we set it up and start taking challengers. Perhaps using the battle chat on the site regularly- orrr skype. OH - and item clause - I ammm biased on that xD so let's NOT listen to me, and take a vote or something lol. |
Perhaps the E4 could have access to certain Pokémon which the gym leaders may not use?
Say perhaps things such as mega evolutions or there could be a selection of OU's which only the E4 may use whilest gym leaders get certain limits. Just that perhaps a selection of certain OUs are off limits for the gyms? |

And something I thought of, are the battles going to be done with cartridges and 3DSs, or on the battle server? |

Oh shoot. Yeah, that's why I think it was originally in X/Y - I was talking exclusively on cartridge, since I for once can't use Showdown, PO, and other sims.

Its not that hard to breed 5iv pokes in the games but I guess it can be a bit tedious, same with team preview only being shown once, but I'm fine with both. Also is the league using smogon tiers?

We're gonna alienate people sticking to either one individually though; so it may be best to do mixed... although we'd require a considerably larger amount of participants, essentially doubling the personnel on board to have a cartridge and sim league :I So I think - we maaaay just wanna stick to one after all. Besides, if we keep it from being an extremely competitive master skill level league, we can probably buff the number of participants by getting people who aren't necessarily so into competitive as to have full teams of 5 IV mons (which I agree, really aren't that hard to get now with destiny knot) bred for competitive. There's not really a point to non-competive sims though, since you can pretty much just generate anything with a few clicks - so I think cartridge is a good choice. :3 |
I met as well put out my opinion. I really like the idea, but I think the champion should be decided like this:
We have a mini tournament between the well-respected battlers (top 5) of our community, and the winner gets to be champion. The other four are the elite four. The regular gyms are for anyone. I would personally like it on the regular game cartridges to give it the "facing the gym" feeling. |
This seems fun, but I have one question since I read about breeding and things, can't this be done on the sim? I don't have any of the games so :/
|
It seems like everyone has really good reasons both ways - sooo, maybe both is the answer :1 If we do, maybe we just trim down the number of gyms for each section? At least until there's a strong need to increase it. :x Let's say we split it right down the middle, 4 gyms on cartridge, 4 gyms on sims - then 2 elite four on cartridge; 2 on sims - with one champion for each? And I'm not suggesting that you have to play both in order to go through the league; by keeping the numbers smaller at first - we run a lower risk of too much to do or too many people to coordinate battles with deterring people from participating. Whaddyou guys think?
Quote:
Quote:
Anywho yeah - anybody else feelin' the splitting the league between the two mediums idea? I think it could work; if things get too busy or it turns out to be a success, we could move up to a full 2 separate leagues, one completely independent on sims, and one completely independent on cartridge. Starting off right now though, 4 gyms, 2 elite members and a champion battle seems like a nice pace to start on for me. ^^ I can volunteer to handle the cartridge half (IF - we go down this path) but someone more personally invested and experienced than myself should prrrobably be the sim league commissioner. |
Quote:
Gym Leaders, technically, can be promoted to Elite Four (it's happened before), and we might have to do a graduating format. Have an initial tournament between the various "leaders" and their Gym teams; the best ones get to Elite Four status. The Champion can start out as the winner of the tournament, and that winner can have a team including a wider mix - but ONLY the Champion. There can also be NO Champion to start, and the first to conquer the Elite Four assumes the role; anyone else coming in can dethrone the Champion. The question is whether the Champion would move down, or can the Elite Four ever challenge the Champion with a non-typed team and the winner move up? The entire idea of Gym Leaders moving up and down is the thing I can't wrap my head around as, since Gym Leaders usually live in their towns, I can't see one leaving and then returning a week later after being demoted again. That would be silly. Gym Leaders can perhaps be allowed to challenge once every three or four months, and a defeated Elite Four member assume leadership of the Gym (same type or different); any losing "leader" in such a battle remains a Gym Leader. I don't know why this is exciting me; I'm not even into the competitive thing. But if I were to serve as a leader and not necessarily challenge the entire league myself, that might be sufficient for me as it would give me the chance to meet the most challengers (and I am not the best battler). My only issue is my nearly full 3DS friend list; I'll have to axe people to take part. And then there's another question: level restrictions. If every Gym Leader is Lv.100 or all battles are set to Lv.50, it takes away the aspect of being better than the Gym Leader at the outset. Also, if participants can change their team for each Leader, then every Leader is virtually doomed to failure. I presume participants will use the same team throughout the challenge and start with a new team if they want to change? |
Breeding is not the problem lol, I don't have a Nintendo handheld/console, that's the main problem
|
I really think we need to decide if this will be on wifi or simulators with a clear cut vote
Also i dont think the league should start out with a champ, its more rewarding to become champion by conquering the league and promotes more people to challenge to see who can be champ first |
Quote:
I hadn't ever considered starting out with a champion, but you know - that also poses another question. In the interest of non-exculsiveness, should we allow Gym leaders to also be challengers? Obviously, with another opponent filling in for their own gym's match, but that could act as our Champion-picker or Elite Four picker in the interim of not having those set up. And, it would keep things going instead of just waiting for people to come and take a shot at us. :P I think just about everything else in your post I addressed here though - Spoiler:
Everyone set to level 50, to prevent level mismatches and forced level 100 grinds, and challengers keeping one team throughout at leeeeast the 8 gym matches, if not the whole endeavor - would be my suggestion for the process. Quote:
I'm worried we'll exclude too many potential participants that way :/ Such as, if it ends up being on sims - I literally cannot participate. It's failed twice to instal on my laptop, which is at the dying state of literally failing to load high res images. And anyone without a 3ds such as srinator, should it go the other way - would not be likely to cough up the 160 bucks or so. :c If we don't do it mixed, maybe we should at least split this into two separate events, one league for cartridge players, and one for sim players. If we can't mix the two that is, just having a requirement of 4 badges for whichever medium you use in the same league. |
Well considering I came from another Forums, we do have something like this.
Its called the "Bulbagarden Battle League" http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f518/bulbagarden-battle-league-season-2-open-166555/ It pretty much explains every thing about it. Substitutes, Rules, the Elite 4 and such. I think if your going to make a League, I think the thread could help a lot. |
Quote:
Honestly, I really think using Pokemon Showdown! is the best way to go for any league type things. You can battle outside of Smogon tiers as well anyway (there's a mode called custom game). Not everyone can afford a 3DS after all, and simulators are free. You could also do both, essentially widening the availability of battles. |
Hmmm, y'know I like some of those, and I don't like some of those. They are specifically geared towards the sims though, which is not very conducive to developing the best format for cartridge players as well :1 But how about we give this thread some time, maybe a day at least - to allow feedback (hopefully) from some of those 9 or 10 people who voted in the poll?
And erm. Maybe set a goal for starting this up - so we don't end up just talking and debating about it for a whole week, then having no one still interested by the time it finally launches? :P Quote:

Quote:
Not hating on sim users btw, use what you like and to each his own and all that. I know it may sound ignorant and such, but it just simply isn't something that I am interested in doing. |
I think pokemon simulators are the way to go. Even though I prefer to play in my 3ds and I hate simulators but its just preference.Everyone in the forum has a PC(I assume) but not everyone has a 3DS. Just my humble opinion :). Oh and i'm active most of the time but i'm not a good battler. So yeah, looking foward to "tryhard" the league
|
I'm hearing a lot more sims over games - but boy could we sure use that poll up there being changed xD
Dangit I shoulda made the thread hahah. |
I'm thinking that, initially at least, we should do the split Showdown/3DS thing, since it seems we can't really get a consensus on this, and some of the challengers may have a preference for how they do the battles as well. Yeah, you'll only have to get 4 badges to challenge the E4 (or E2, rather), but that's the way its gonna have to go. Especially since we still don't have enough people for all the positions, and so to get enough people for all the spots, we need to have both options available (what with Polar's laptop dying and sri not having a 3DS, etc)
|
You know what? I like the idea of simulators for this. If there are 25 challengers, that's 25 people to add to a 3DS for every leader - and some might not have room for all of these friends or want the hassle of deleting everyone afterwards.
|
Euuuurghhhhh
Mayhaps we should to the split thing, one for sims and one for 3DS :x |

Moving on - I would be terrible at working with the showdown half of this for obvious reasons hahah. Anyone want to volunteer to, handle- that half the league? Quote:
And yes; I was suggesting at least to start off, showdown have 4 dedicated leaders, 2 elites, and 1 champion - and X/Y have the same. |
Whatever everyone decides i think the best thing you can do for the league is recruit other people.

Quote:
I think it would be fun, a great learning experience, and we can make friends. We could have prizes for being the champion such as iv bred pokemon and items. |

Quote:
Also - on what you said about the authentic gym leader / league feel- I think it's a great idea to discuss both challenger and leader teams openly. Helping each other out, suggesting tweaks to pokemon and team builds could really help some people step up their game. Maybe even get someone through the league who wouldn't have on their own, or had attempted to previously. And as long as the gym leaders are locked into one typing, their teams should be somewhat possible to document and share amongst challengers. Quote:
Anywhoooo. This weekend may be a good chance to spearhead getting this started. I'm gonna send out some PM and VM's right now, to hopefully get someone to involve themselves heavily with the Showdown half of the league. Volunteers would be great too though : , I know a lot of people in the thread already said they're backing the idea, but is anyone willing to take a spot helping to organize dat sim half? |
I'd be interested in participating. Definitely prefer Showdown, though, don't have a great ingame team.

No legendaries bar the trios. Pokebank is allowed. No smogon bans or complex bans (example: swag play and shell smash+ baton pass is allowed) Illegal/hacked/unrealeased HA is not allowed. No pokemon of the same pokedex number is allowed. Again, just some ideas. I'll think of more later. |
This is a neat idea :) I just wish I knew more about competitive battling XD I'd be the Normal-Type Gym Leader Irène, and as Irène means peace, I'd pick Pokemon like:
Blissey Audino Wigglytuff Cincinno Delcatty Cuteee <3 and they would all have Sing, as I'd put people to peaceful sleeps :P Horrible accuracy, though. |
Quote:
Quote:
Pokebank too, yes - seconded. Smogon bans, I withhold my opinion - I can't really say since I'm not even aware of all their numerous bans on movesets, abilities, items, and pokemon. I will read up on it though- Agree that no hacks should be allowed. Why ever would theyyyy- And concur on the no 2 same pokedex pokemon. Erm wait - do we wanna enforce that last one for Gym Leaders too? Some gym leaders and Elite 4 members have used 2 of the same pokemon, a lot actually. LANCE. With his 2 illegal Dragonite. lol. Quote:
Also Wigglytuff is a monster, it's not at all about peace. I hear it's committed terrible crimes. |
I think 3:3 [3 wild cards] monotype would be best. If youre going to have strategy discussion on gym leaders, well they should at least be somewhat challenging. If im the grass gym and i have to pick all 6 grass types then all my opponent has to do is bring talonflame.
|
Quote:
But yeah, I like themed teams, too, not just based on typing :) |
Quote:
So someone who brings a Talonflame for your grass gym would have a harder time if I were to have a water gym. |

Quote:
But hey! I've sent out some PM's, there's some interest, let's hit the metal while it's hot. How does a tournament on Showdown / X/Y sound either this weekend, or this coming week to decide gym leader and E4 spots? It is worth noting too - don't feel bad or be upset if you don't do well in the tournament, if you stay active in the league as a regular and / or successful challenger, you can take up a spot as a gym leader or Elite 4 member. The primary requirement is going to be activity and reliability in participating, since a League is nothing without the league members themselves. Anyone got suggestions for when this should go down? : p |
I would like to sign up for this :) i like everything i read so far. Who can i contact to be updated with any information/getting started and whatnot?

I don't think that we're restricting ourselves to the types and Pokemon used in the actual games. And about the little tournament to decide the E4 and Champion slots: I'd rather that it be this weekend. Oh, and I call Dragon type. Just saying. |
Quote:
|
I'd say that a gym leader could use any Pokemon that at least is part of whatever type they are.
Also I disagree on the 3:3 wild cards, no one wants to be like Flint in DP. One wildcard at most, possibly two. Gyms are meant to be specialized, and having that many wildcards is the antithesis of that. |
Quote:
We should start a sign up sheet for X/Y + Showdown contenders. Quote:
And I think our own pokemon and teams should be permitted. It'll add a lot of fun for both challengers and leaders to have that added aspect. Besides, finding someone to use only pokemon a bug gym leader has used... xD That poor trainer. |

Quote:
I call flying type gym. Its my favorite type. |
Quote:
Oh you and I are so going to have to fight for that xD But um, I know Wifi battles on X/Y can support 6 v 6 with capped at level 50 pokemon, I'd imagine Showdown has it too since you can customize just about everything there. We don't have to do it this weekend though, but I'm unavailable next weekend since it's my vacation, and I'm going to Baltimore for the whole time. Possibly devoid of Wifi too :P I'd just like to hold the battles as soon as possible, while interest is still piqued - to get the maximum turnout and hopefully get the best potential people on board. |
Quote:
|
6v6 Singles is the standard battle format on Showdown, so that's not a problem either.
I can do the tourney on weekdays too, it's just that I'm not available all day then because of work. |
I think first we need to decide (by battle) who gets to be leaders, then we can delegate types. Since the people who win, may not be satisfied or have the available pokemon immediately for what types they get stuck with. :P
So in order for everyone to be able to pick their type most efficiently, we need to pick who's picking hah. |
Quote:
---- Also, to the people who put "Im confused" in the poll, maybe ask your questions in the thread and someone could help answer them. Btw can I grab the steel gym? |
Quote:
|
Haha I think we should get a list of people participating (who are actually going to be the leaders) and then pick, as opposed to now.
@Antebellum: Yeah, that shakes it up, but it doesn't really make sense. Can you really imagine Brawly with a Manectric? Also, the hard part about Gym Leaders is that if your one or two Pokemon that match up well against them faint, the rest of the battle may be very difficult. With the type variety that most types have (Steel, Water, for example), it shouldn't be that hard |
How can we get things started? I would like to help the most i can so we can at least have some work towards this even the slightest :) btw how would i subscribe to the thread? Been looking for a while now, forgot how :/

I would participate in this tournament thing for the cartridge
so hard |
Quote:
I had originally intended, for the challengers being locked into 6 pokemon, for 8 different typed gyms, to balance with the fact that the Leader's teams, would in fact all be monotype. If the leaders all had half their teams as various types, they could effectively (and logically) choose 3 hard counters to things that normally best their standard type. And what's to keep the leader from using or primarily banking on their 3 wild cards if the challengers team is a bit advantageous compared to the Leader's team? Personally, in the interest of sheerly being more possible for challengers, I'd *like* to see the Gyms maintain monotype teams. If that position is outnumbered on that point though, I'll for sure roll with the flex / wild card idea too. But maybe keep it to 1 or 2 instead of half the team at least? :x Quote:
Similar to Zekrom though, I work full time and Monday through Friday, I'm only available from 5pm Central US time until around midnight Central US time on account of work from 7-5 :L But hey, I can try and stretch that a bit. I've also got Wednesday off since I start my vacation Thursday. Quote:
Quote:
Right. A list is something we need. Goddangit I wish I was first post... I can't edit the poll or the OP. I'll compile a list where I can though, third down's not so bad. On the wild card pokemon, I really don't think we need them on account of how many type matchups there are as of sixth gen. We've got a combo of just about every type that resists its common weaknesses. Flying gym for example, we've got Flying Ground, which takes off the rock and electric weaknesses, and Flying Water, which takes off the Ice, and flying electric again to take off electric, flying fighting for rock again... it goes on. I think the dual typings are enough to support a viable monotype gym. Plus again - authenticity :P A sidenote though -guys we really need to decide who even places as a leader before we start calling types xD It's a battle tournament not a race haha. Starting a list on the first page now. SO PLEASE - if you'd like to participate in the tournaments for placing as a leader, Elite, or Champion of the league - post in the thread saying so, with your PC username, wether you'll be competing on X/Y or on Showdown, and when you are available to do so! Let's make it happen! ^^ |

Oh and id like to try out for elite, username is Antebellum, I prefer showdown but xy is cool too. Also yea im cool with 1/2 wild card pokes |
If you guys want to make things easier on the list, how about i get pms of the whole list with a deadline on it?
|
Who should be in charge of putting this list together? How should it be formatted? Is it first come, first serve? Should alternate gym types be available such as a sky battle gym, fossil gym, or something of the sorts? Could a gym be run by two separate people?
Again, I call flying type gym. |
This league hasn't even started yet and I owe somebody a badge XD
|
Well, if Spectrum wants, i can gather names as they come. But it needs to be discussed the gym types. Qualifications for the gyms as well. Another big one is, what happens if the trainer looses, how long does he/she have til next challenge? So on and so forth...
Would like to be ghost gym leader :) |

Hahah but really, lets wait til we know who gets to be leaders, eh? :P I have put a list together, right >>here<< in the 4th post of this thread. Beast I could do since Adam still technically started the thread. Wish he was allowed on the computer more. :1 Blue and Teejee - do you guys wanna count that match? It was for the noble right of water gym, but it also didn't have you face off against any of the other potential gym leaders. :I And didn't you decide singles / doubles? Or something? We may not be able to do that now though, since we're already splitting it into Showdown and X/Y... So if you wanna just count it as your match alone, I guess? But that still leaves your matches with everyone else. And sharing the gym may not be an option with how thin we're already spreading everyone on this. Anwho on what else you brought up, how does everyone feel about specialty gyms? I think we could kinda vote it yay or neigh by committee, since if no one has a problem with it, no one has a problem with it. :J And no badges yet plz. We haven't even set it up haha. I think a good wait time for challengers between challenges, is at least 24 hours. S'what I think. Anybody think a longer or shorter time is more appropriate? |
the badge thing was a joke BTW :P
|
My Showdown username is lugialord, btw. I'm available a lot as it's summer right now.
How long are signups going to run for? And for leaders to claim types, maybe (after all the leaders have been selected) each submits a list of, say, 3 types they'd like, and we can go from there? Obviously, we can't have everyone vying to be types like Dragon and Water, though. |
It might be worth telling ultraviolence that theres a showdown option now
|
Putting your 3DS FC and IGN beneath your username on all your posts by using your profile could be helpful, or your Showdown name and stuff in your sigs. But um. On time frame; as long as we know which people are gonna be in it, I suppose we can start battling right now. Of course, until we've had at least one match between each potential candidate we can't start naming leaders - so we'll have to put an end date on it too.
For now though, any two candidates for league spots who plan to be in the same platform as one another can start battling - but make sure you save it, or - whatever showdown has, and have both participants post the result. Dude, we really need someone who knows their Showdown stuff. :I I don't know ♥♥♥♥ about Showdown, seriously. Someone pls. Halp. Quote:
I'll PM him - he'll be in on it for Showdown for certain, right? |

Nice, alright added you to the list. I'm gonna give this some more time to air, possibly pick up a few more people. Maybe some of those people that voted yes in the poll - but haven't posted. :P
(Bumped up here to hopefully make it more visible to people who don't sort through the pages) Registered participants for league qualifier tourney: Antebellum (Showdown, possible X/Y) Polar Spectrum (X/Y) TGM (X/Y) Zekrom (Showdown, possible X/Y) BlueBoi22 (X/Y, possible Showdown) BadPokemon (Showdown) Srinator (Showdown) Euphoric (Showdown) Ferraligator (X/Y) Charizard Man (X/Y) Adam Eternal (X/Y) CycloneGU (X/Y) Falkbalk (Showdown) As it stands now, we have: 5, possibly 6 players competing on Showdown - and 7 potentially 9 on X/Y. This would de facto give all Showdown competitors listed above a spot in the league, and keep only two contender(s) on X/Y from placing as a leader or elite / champ. There I fixed the 'o' haha.
