Okay, so I just finished up mine tonight. I'll be posting the winner for the most creative team for this theme after work on Sunday as well as the next theme round. Work has been scheduling me as much as possible and I'm also having computer issues. Sorry for any inconvenience, everyone!

Anyway, here was my team for summer vacation:

Oh my jesus I should be in bed right now but no i was up completing this challenge instead. 8( If the levels seem low it's because I just gave up training because it was getting late (and I do really need to get to bed) annnd so I just went and suffered and used a million items oops. But challenge complete?

Beach Ball the Blastoise ♀ - Modest - Lv. 66
I like far too many Water types to narrow this slot down. In my early drafts, this team was about to become a Water Monotype team. I decided to chose the first Water type I adored. In Blue, my Blastoise was nicknamed Beach Ball, so I bred a new one to celebrate that.
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/279.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/itemdex/sprites/premierball.png
Breezie the Pelipper ♀ - Jolly - Lv. 61
I wanted to especially include a Pelipper because Florida has many seagulls. I live 30+ minutes away from the beach, and I still can see 'em.
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/494.png http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/sprites/cherishball.png
Victini the Victini - Jolly - Lv. 73
Speaking of beaches, one of my fondest summer memories would be watching the 4th of July fireworks at the beach at night with my family. It was a phenomenal feeling I will always cherish because my whole family was there; I hadn't seen my older brother in years.
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/479-h.png
Hot Pocket the Rotom - Timid - Lv. 66
I wanted to add a second Fire type into the mix because Florida is HOT. However, summer to me is also allll about staying indoors and eating junk food!
http://www.serebii.net/Shiny/BW/289.png http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/sprites/nestball.png
Gordo the Slaking ♂ - Adamant - Lv 61
Rolling around in bed all day is my kind of lazy day. Gordo means fat in Spanish, and boy do I gain on the pounds during the summer. Thanks to Sammi for breeding the shiny egg for me.
http://i.imgur.com/OIB8CXP.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/itemdex/sprites/quickball.png
Sugar the Florges ♀ - Serious - Lv. 71
And thank you to Luke for giving me this beauty a few days after X/Y released, and also a huge thanks for buying the game for me. It means a lot to me. I hadn't gotten around to evolving her until today. I appreciate challenges like these because it motivates me to pick up the games again and try out Pokemon I love and make new memories. Here's to many more summers.

Anddd I spent too much time training and posting rather than finishing off Diantha. Gonna do that now. :'3

edit: anddd done! https://youtu.be/UZ_jpFpNkvU

Necrum May 16th, 2015 9:58 PM

Progress is happening, yay! No way I am gonna be able to challenge the E4 for at least two days though.

Sydian May 17th, 2015 7:33 PM

You aren't eligible to win for most creative team if you don't sign up during the time frame for that theme, but technically you can do the themes longer if you want.

Second theme is up! I worked longer than I thought I would today so the winner for the team will have to wait til tomorrow. Again, sorry for any inconvenience guys.

Woohooo, Disney, best theme ever.

Username: banjopop7_7
Game: X
Team:
Spoiler:
Glaceon - Let it gooooo. Elsa from Frozen
Mamoswine - There are two things that fit in the category of big, hairy and brown. Mamoswine and Chewbacca. Chewbacca from Star wars
Celebi - They both are green fairies (even tough Celebi isn't a fairy by type). Tinkerbell from Peter Pan/ Disney Fairies
Pyroar - Both scary lions! Scar from The lion king
Ariados - This Pokemon is a Spider. Spider-man.
Raichu - Two mouses. Mickey Mouse



Here I put the Pokemon who didn't make it to the final team, but are still cool to mention.
Scrapped Pokemon:
Spoiler:
Cincinno - They both love cleaning. Cinderella from Cinderella.
Musharna - A dream is a wish musharna makes. A song from Cinderella
Absol - he is misunderstood just like Vanellope. Vanellope from Wreck-it Ralph
Milotic - They both live in the water and are beautyful. Ariel from The Little Mermaid
Uxie. The colors are the same, but Uxie doesn't look happy. Joy from Inside out
Swanna and Ducklett - they would make a good Duck couple. Donald and Daisy from Mickey Mouse

Hann May 18th, 2015 2:17 AM

Wow, this is not the easiest theme ever, but I'll try my best.
Username: Hann
Game: Omega Ruby
Team:
Spoiler:
Chatot - Iago from Aladdin
Sableye - Stitch from Lilo & Stitch
Donphan - Dumbo from well... Dumbo
Sawsbuck (Autumn) - Bambi from..., yeah you got it I think
Tentacruel (Shiny for whatever reason) - Ursula from The Little Mermaid
Pyroar (M) - Simba from the Lion King, I couldn't dare build a team without this one in it.

I think all of these are Disney movies (I could be wrong though). I'm not 100% satisfied with it either, so I might try to do a better job later.

Edit: Whoops, I think I'll have to change my username everywhere now -_-

Pendraflare May 18th, 2015 3:28 AM

Disney theme? That's pretty cool, considering that not terribly long ago I did a challenge on Black that had my naming theme being Disney characters :P But that doesn't mean I won't go for it again!

Username: Pendraflare
Game: White 2 (until further notice; may change later but this is where most of my post-game stuff goes)
Team:
Spoiler:
Once again, haven't decided on this yet. Will edit once I do.

Sydian May 18th, 2015 10:50 AM

So picking a winner for the summer themes was way harder than I thought it was going to be...so I picked three instead! And I'll likely just increase the next themes to three winners as well, lol. So the winners for the most summery themed teams are...

Spoiler:
DyingWillFlareon, Buzz Buzz, and TwilightBlade! :)


I haven't had a chance to make an emblem yet you guys, again apologies, but I will get to it as soon as I can and award you three with it. n__n Congrats guys and thanks to everyone that played the summer theme! Everyone's teams were really awesome, and choosing three winners might have been a bit much, but...eh! :)

In case anyone was wondering what my issue has been lately, which again I do apologize for, is that my laptop's backlight won't work at all so I'm limited to my phone to make posts and such. If you've tried to edit threads and read a bunch of posts through a phone though, you know that it gets a bit tedious and annoying sometimes. The plan is to buy a cheap laptop sometime soon to last me until I have the money for a new full fledged laptop though guys, so I really appreciate your patience. :)

And here is my Disney theme: Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Spoiler:
http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/505.png It really reminds me of Milo. He's a bit uptight, skinny/lanky, and he looks like he doesn't sleep...Milo doesn't seem to sleep, lol. I could see a Watchog in some glasses like Milo's, for sure.

http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/245.png For Kida. I couldn't think of another Water type that I wanted to represent her, I just knew it had to be blue and graceful and Suicune is the epitome of that. Not only that though, Suicune is the version mascot for Crystal and Atlantis relies on a giant crystal for their lives, which Kida has a connection to aside from the general one.

http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/703.png Crystal in mind, Carbink is here to represent the small crystals the citizens of Atlantis wear around their necks.

http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/476.png Probopass represents the big stone faces of past leaders of Atlantis that revolve around the giant crystal.

http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/369.png The zoomers that the citizens of Atlantis ride on look a lot like Relicanth. They're probably way cooler to ride on, though.

http://serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/292.png "We're all gonna die."

DyingWillFlareon May 18th, 2015 1:31 PM

oh my- I can't believe this

Do you mind if I trade my last team and the rest of this challenges to Y? I thought it's be fun on AS but te League rematches are Level 70ish. -.- I'm hurrying to conplete the last one.

Anyhow, Disney Team: I couldn't decide on a single movie to use so I picked these guys. :)
Spoiler:
Coming soon to a League near you
Raichu- The Mickey/Minnie must have for Disney. Named accordingly to whether I get a male or female one.
Golurk- Baymax from Big Hero 6, y'all know you love San Fran Tokyo.
Stoutland-The Beast from Beauty and the Beast.
Lickylicky- Prince Charming. Don't you dare deny it looks fancy.
Garbodor- Cause all those Disney haters say "Disney is trash". :P i laughed outside when I thought of this one
Yveltal- The whole "save the world from destruction" plot reminds me of the most destructive Pokemon. That and I wanted to actually use my Yveltal in Y. ;w;

Sydian May 18th, 2015 1:39 PM

That's fine, I'm not really picky about the games you play them in. :)

Hann May 18th, 2015 2:12 PM

Wow, thanks a lot! I enjoyed all the different teams people made, it's amazing to see what a bit of creativity can come up with and how, honestly, so many Pokémon fit into the theme with the right description/reason.
I've made a good start on my next team, I'm just breeding for a nickname-able male (-_-) Litleo so I can start training everyone.

Miau May 18th, 2015 11:04 PM

Gonna do a Beauty and the Beast theme ^_^

Username: Miau
Game: X
Team:
Spoiler:

Gardevoir - Belle; pretty obvious choice.
Entei - Beast; yeah, a legendary beast. I think I have an Entei that I caught a while back in HG.
Chandelure - Lumiere; basically a candlestick. That you hang to the ceiling, yup.
Klinklang - Cogsworth; it has cogs, so.
Musharna - Mrs. Potts; uhm, it's pink and it has a trunk (sort of) like the teapot's spout. And the dream mist counts for steam from the tea, so there.
Rapidash - Philippe the horse.

Sydian May 19th, 2015 7:00 AM

Miau, if you end up not having an Entei, I probably have an extra I can trade you.

Lycanthropy May 19th, 2015 10:34 AM

I finished the previous theme two days ago.
http://i.imgur.com/Aqz3EEq.png

I'm joining the next round too!
Username: Lycanthropy
Game: Emerald again
Team:
Spoiler:
I'm still thinking about this. I'll fill it in later.

Hippowtom May 20th, 2015 4:51 AM

Unfortunately I didn't have time to focus on my previous theme team, but since I have a few days off school and all I think I can manage Disney!

And my film to represent is my favorite Disney film: Robin Hood

Username: Hippowtom
Game: White
Team:
Spoiler:


Robin Hood = Ninetales
Maid Marian = Espeon
Little John = Ursaring
Prince John = Houndoom
Sir Hiss = Serperior
Sheriff of Nottingham = Zoroark


Necrum May 20th, 2015 8:10 AM

Victory! This was a really fun team. I even had good uses for Durant despite him being a terrible Pokemon.


Disney Challenge
Username: Azazel
Game: Pokemon Y
Team:

Jafar the Landorus
Scar the Pyroar
Malificent the Mega Charizard X
Captain Hook the Feraligatr (THE IRONY!)
Cruella de Vil the Furfrou (Uh...)
Red Queen the Bisharp

Tora May 20th, 2015 8:41 AM

Ah, too bad I haven't seen this earlier. But I'd like to join in on the Disney theme. My team will consist of rather antagonistic characters from different series. I had lots of fun putting it together already. ^^

Username: Tora
Game: Y
Team:
Spoiler:
Malamar – Ursula from The Little Mermaid. The similarities in their appearance are pretty obvious. Also, Malamar is a psychic type on top of the dark type, which fits both Ursula's evilness and her magic.

Noivern – Fidget the Bat from The Great Mouse Detective. Out of all the bat Pokémon, Noivern seems to fit him best, in my opinion. Not just the visual aspect, but also the Infiltrator ability that I'd connect to Fidget's burglaries.

Seviper – Kaa from The Jungle Book. While both Arbok and Seviper are poisonous snakes, Seviper looks more like a constrictor. On top of that, its design seems to mirror Kaa's quirkiness.

Ludicolo – Bushroot from Darkwing Duck. Well, what can I say... Ludicolo is some kind of weird plant with a duck beak. I'd say it fits. And Bushroot isn't actually all that evil either.

Pyroar – Scar from The Lion King. Appearance-wise I would have preferred Luxray over Pyroar, but I don't have access to one, so I'll settle on the fire lion. And since Scar turns the territory into a dry, barren land (however he managed that) I guess it works just as well. (On top of Pyroar not being as mighty as you'd expect from a lion... just like Scar.)

Honchkrow - Magica de Spell from Duck Tales. She's a duck in the first place, wears all black, frequently turns into a black bird (even though that one is probably supposed to be a vulture), she has a pet raven and uses dark spells.
