I don't think it's up to date, cause there are to many members on there who I haven't seen, it's nice that have everything up to date. It really sucks I was to late for my name change, and I was like who the f.. is Nah? But good to see you Zekrom. |
Yay Rub Thighs lives on for another year!
Current champ, reporting. And yeah, some of those challenges are alive and kicking. I duked it out with Charcoal and Zekrom most recently. But it wouldn't hurt to message some of those folks. |

Well Sharkshocker hasn't been online since August last year, Doaks has not been around since December and GreenFlame doesn't even excist anymore. So I think the list need some updates.

Well, it's been a ride. I guess I'll say hello to you guys later. I'll subscribe to this new thread for when I do come by. And Zekrom, Polar, I was just the concept guy, I barely did anything. Don't forget that you guys brought it to life.
Good luck! |
There we are, subscribed. If anyone feels ambitious, it may be to our benefit to PM most or some of the participants of the old thread to alert them this new one exists.
Goddam my computer is fucking up, it can't even keep up with typing in this text window. ANYWHO. Yay. New thread. |
K so.....Charcoal has beaten the 3DS division now. What're we doing about the champ spot?
I'ma go update the challenge OP and throw an emblem at him now |

Ho Ho, I just noticed there is still a gymleader spot open at the Showdown division. I would be glad to take that spot with Psychic/Electric :) Unless someone else wants to have that spot ofcourse.

I look at it like this: Gym Leader Team | Challenge Team (during Challenge) | Challenge Team (as champion) https://justaddsomesugartothatmocha.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/cells.png u no? |

Many sighs were exchanged, and I have already wept, but the ceremony of his passage has yet to come. |

Still dunno what you were saying with the Cell pics tho |
Hah, those cell pics are cell from his weakest, stronger, and strongest form.
Pretty sure it's something along the lines of your team and/or knowledge about the game grows with each new challenge. Or something. The machinations of Skyburial's mind are an enigma... Many lesser men have lost their lives in pursuit of such knowledge. |

Oh, btw, I'm not really interested in being Champion so Charcoal can have that position |

Meanwhile, battling as a gym leader is more like making yourself as deadly as possible with limited resources. |

So if everyone is in favor of me taking the Gym Leader spot at the Showdown Division that would be great.
One thing has to be clear though I'm not giving up my spot a the 3DS division. |
I have no problem with it. Though, I don't know how much say I actually have. xD
|
So I was playing Pokemon again today and I realized something.
Gym leaders and elite four members sometimes have 'titles' that they go by, like how Lance's was 'Dragonmaster' That's all well and good, but they only (usually) had one primary typing they could stick to. What would your guys' titles be? I think I'd want mine to be the same as my user title (Lunar Silhouette) which goes well with water, but not so much with ground. |
Quote:
what's the extent to which we can prepare for the opponent's team? I was under the impression that we weren't supposed to try and 'counter' the challenger's team, so I never look at my challenger's team before a battle. |
Well if you know he has for example five pokémon that have an advantage over some pokémon you don't bring that right?
I think as a gym leader you must do your best to make it hard to take your badge. So you don't bring certain pokémon if they are useless in your match up. |

*skitters off* |
To all fellow gym leaders, Elite, Champion, and staff of the Prism League:
So i brought an idea to Polar, and wanted to share with you all. We are all currently holding a team of 6 Pokemon. I thought that maybe we can swift... things around to the gym leader's discretion. Meaning that we don't have to have a full party of Pokemon per challenge. Like the shows, gym leaders should be able to compete with as many pokemon they think their party is best with (example: 4v4, 5v5 or 6v6), in my opinion is could make challenges not only shorter, but also interesting. The challenger would have to, obviously, match the gym leader's Pokemon. It also gives the challenger the opportunity to shift Pokemon around the six that he started with. If gym leader uses 4, challenger can use 4 of the six. Given that when they reach the elite four (that's up to you guys) the elite can choose to use 5 Pokemon or all six, but mandatory to use all six for champion... I have put a lot of thought about this for a while and thought about bringing it up, thought that we can all discuss this and share our thoughts. If this doesn't go through, it's okay. I love being part of the league like I told Polar. And it's also fun being part of it :) |
Oooo I like that idea. It makes it so that I can use VGC format

So now that we actually have a shit ton of challenges going on at once -----> Championship battles can be a thing, yeah? The standing champion would use their challenge team, not their gym team. So it would be somewhat fresh.
|
Who is going to be the official Champion though? It's been talked about a few times before but never really decided upon.
|
I think it would go to whomever most recently victors over the Elite Four and then go from there. Someone would have to step up to the plate though.
|
Now that the Prism Cup is over, I'll be changing my typing to Dragon/Steel.
Thx gais. |
I'll be out of town for most of August. Getting back on the 23rd. I'd be cool with anyone subbing for me during that time. Battle honorably if you do. You know what that means ;)
|
Hey, I'm visiting for a few days. How are things with the Prisim?

EDIT. I'll be going now. May Arceus be with you. |
If this thread is still active, i posted on the initial signup sheet and i'm ready to challenge.

Though honestly the league has been largely inactive for a while, the Showdown division in particular, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them kinda forgot about this thing. |
It's sad really. :c
|
Let's make this place booming again. I know sky is online regularly still and I have a lot of free time at the moment so hopefully we can do something to make this interesting again.

Figure I might as well bring this up now......
I think we should officially put the Prism League to rest. We haven't had a single challenge in over a month, and activity in general has been pretty bad since about August or so, especially in the Showdown division. Half the league members don't frequent BTB (or in some cases, PC) anymore and I get this feeling that there's a general lack of interest in it from those of us who're left (I will admit that my interest in it has greatly waned over the months), and I don't really think there's any interest in the league from the rest of the memberbase either. The league's a very forgotten thing at this point. No serious attempts at revitalizing the league have been made in the past six months either....and I don't blame anyone for that. It's hard to see this thing ever booming again really. Doesn't help that PCL will be starting up again sometime this month. I think it was great that we tried to do this thing and that it managed to last more than a year, but I think its time has come. I suppose I could've just asked wolf and/or Zeffy to lock the threads, but I thought I might as well bump this and see what everyone who's still left thinks. |
I think, if things are dead, or if things are slowing down when it comes to things like this, wait till the next pokemon game. :3 That gets people's spirits up.
But it's not really my choice. I would be really sad if the Prism League just suddenly was shut down. |
I think Nah that you are absolutely right. It's a bummer for people who like to play some challenging games with cartridge but for now I don't see a reason to continue with barely any challengers and members (including me) not be active enough.
