Holy Arceus, I'm gone for the rest of the day (have no choice), and I come back to this. THIS is why Polar Spectrum should be taking charge! I'll chat with Polar to get information. This is too much to handle. 0.0

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

---- 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? |
