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.

lol we picked the same Scar

Hippowtom May 27th, 2015 3:18 AM

We did it! Disney Robin Hood team completed the Elite 4 with no sweat!

Haha, I must've completely overlooked that. Well, it's kind of an obvious choice. x)

Pendraflare May 27th, 2015 5:48 AM

Alright, if I haven't said, I plan to change my game to X for this. And i'm going with a team of villains. Here they are:
Spoiler:
Durant - Hopper
Gothitelle - Maleficent
Sableye - Jafar
Throh - Shan Yu
Skuntank - Ratigan
Mamoswine - Shere Khan

Wonder if people will like that. I could do this on White 2 but I don't want to make all four parts of this on that.

Necrum May 28th, 2015 9:31 AM

I have the members of my team all gathered up, I just need to train them. Will post a picture later.

Tek May 28th, 2015 12:43 PM

Emblems aside, I really like this challenge format.

So the current theme is Disney? Hmmm...

Username: Tek
Game: ΩR
Team: [under construction]

jdthebud May 29th, 2015 3:23 PM

I guess no one wants me to get a 3DS...:(

Sydian May 29th, 2015 5:10 PM

-tosses JD my other 3DS- :3

I haven't had much time to train my team because I've been at work so much (10-7 shifts YIKES), so hopefully I can finish tomorrow. Reminder that you can post your final stats after the two weeks. There won't be another theme for about a month, hint hint. :)

Pendraflare May 29th, 2015 5:33 PM

I only just got my final team member yesterday, and I haven't had as much time to train them either, between being back at my job, working on an online course and having two challenges on Marriland to write out updates for. But we have to beat the game by tomorrow to be legit for the emblem, correct?

TwilightBlade May 31st, 2015 2:40 PM

Username: TwilightBlade
Game: Y
Team: My childhood was full of Disney films, but rather than basing the team around princesses, I decided to pay tribute to the animal sidekicks.



http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/antisocial464/Transparent/Lanturn-iaza.png
Flounder the Lanturn
The Little Mermaid
Under the sea, darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me. Up on the shore they work all day, out in the sun they slave away while we devotin' full time to floatin' under the sea [link]

http://www.pokesho.com/img_icon/shine/1/i_gyaradosu_s.gif
Mushu the Gyarados
Mulan
We must be swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire! [link]

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a112/antisocial464/Transparent/Lopunny-iaza.png
Thumper the Lopunny
Bambi
You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. You're twitterpated. [link]

http://www.pokesho.com/img_icon/4/i_rukario.gif
Stitch the Lucario
Lilo & Stitch
If there was a koala Pokemon, I'd choose it, but this is the only blue dog that has glowing eyes and spikes. It's cute and fluffy, too! [link]

http://i.imgur.com/C94quBY.png?1
Djali the Gogoat
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Djali is Esmeralda's sidekick and always remains loyal and funny when helping her to escape. This movie and the next one are some of my favorite underrated cartoons. [link]

http://i.imgur.com/wcG40lg.png?1
Roscoe the Houndoom
Oliver and Company
Roscoe is one of the two Dobermans owned by the antagonist [link]. Also, if you've seen this movie, I'm sure you'd remember it for this song [link]. I'm jamming to it right now. :D




This team went through several drafts and revisions. I began with Milotic/Vaporeon as Ariel (The Little Mermaid being my favorite Disney film as a child). I then ran out of princesses I actually like besides Mulan (as Mienshao) and Jasmine (as... well, I got stuck here). I shifted them to animal sidekicks because hey, when I was little, I was fascinated with animals! I still do love them. I wanted to include Aladdin (went through several ideas of Abo as Aipom/Infernape or Rajah as Raikou/Arcanine), but there were so many other Disney films I wanted to mention. Why must teams be of 6?! The Lion King gave me several heartaches for this same reason. I considered using the obligatory Pyroar/Luxray, but also Mamoswine for Pumbaa or Chatot for Zazu. Pumbaa was /really/ close to being in the final draft, but 1) I was missing a mention of Mulan!!!! and 2) I used a Mamoswine recently in HG. I am happy with the final product, but I have to beat the Elite 4. I think dinner is more important, though!


alisaie May 31st, 2015 3:07 PM

Ahhhh Roscoe from Oliver from Company I so approve. The fact that you picked a character from Oliver and Company alone. ♥

I... have my team together but I haven't really training them because I've been super busy. 8( Once I charge my 3DS I might see about posting an inprogress update though.

Sydian May 31st, 2015 5:28 PM

You don't have to finish to qualify for the most creative team, you just have to sign up during the two weeks the theme is active for sign ups. I'll be posting results tomorrow guys! I'll also be leaving this up for you guys to post whenever you beat the E4 with your Disney themes in case you weren't able to (I know I wasn't). Got some other good stuff heading your way, so hang tight. :)

Hann June 1st, 2015 4:50 AM

It'll be a few days (weeks?) before I can beat the Elite Four. I didn't have much time the past week. I had to complete around 7 assignments and then I had only 2 days to prepare for my first exam (today) and I still have 8 exams in the next 2 and a half weeks, so I probably shouldn't even be on here >_>

Sydian June 1st, 2015 7:58 AM

Disney themes were pretty awesome, but two stuck out to me the most and those would be...

Spoiler:
Ash and Hippowtom!

honorable mention to twilightblade who posted her team just a bit too late to count :<


There won't be another theme for a while, but you guys do have something awesome coming up later today, so just keep checking back in the area and you'll see soon enough. :>

Necrum June 3rd, 2015 10:02 AM

Alright, I beat Diantha! Siebold was probably the most challenging part of the Pokemon League, but that's usually the case for me.

Unfortunately I couldn't name Landorus as Jafar. It's one I imported from Gen 5, and even there it wasn't my OT. Had HA though!
