Sorry about that - visitor at the door :(
|
Can I just clear something up - are we battling with no restrictions so our pokemon are at the level cap or normal battle so theyre all set to 50?

Good point - I didn't know that was something in the settings. I think I asked before but wasn't sure how it worked. If you'd like a rematch then I understand.

Alright so that takes me up to 5 wins from 5, Feeling good ^^ |
Greenie - that is a rather unexpected Shroom you have there ;) great battle - I thought your combusken/Taillow would sweep me for sure!
And Rez/Coffee - thanks! My linoone is proving to be my most useful battler at the moment. Not sure if you knew for these games, but TMs don't break after you use them anymore :) if your grovyle knew Rock Tomb then I think things would have been a lot different! |

Just to also mention, I'm still paused after acquiring the first badge. My main pokemon team is still level 20, I haven't even walked into the second gym yet. I've just been messing around trying to find the perfect Nincada, and playing all the various mini games. I do think you're right though, maybe the dead line should be shortened to 3 days. I originally suggested a week, because I wasn't sure how much time I could work the game into my work week plus the other various activities that take up my time. Though it seems to be a lot faster than I thought. |
I think 3 days is fair but after signups are closed, if everyone agrees and is up to the same part before the 3 days then we could possibly move on? Only if every member involved is at the same cap of course! If not there's plenty of Pokemon to be caught :)

Oh! I totally had unbreakable tm's when I played "White", but it's been so long that I seriously did forget! Whoa... that just made me realize I can probably build my future team totally different. ...lol. I might add Rock Tomb to Beezley's move pool once we move on to the second badge, I don't want to suddenly change it now since it might add an unfair advantage to make the challenge different for the others that I haven't battled yet. Still, advice duly noted! :D |
I think we should do 4 days. I know, one day shouldn't make much of a difference, but if someone has a particularly busy work week than the 3 day deadline will become a burden. I think 4 days is a nice compromise.
|
While I have no problems with the new number of days deadline, I might have trouble battling anyone during the weekdays. :/
Anyway, I'm about to challenge Roxanne. After that, I'll be leveling my team to level 20 and then challenge anyone who's available. :3 edit: My current team is Grovyle (Tiki), Poochyena (Star) and Beautifly (Noodle (don't ask)). |
Alright so are most people at the second badge now? Or right after it?
|
I'm at the badge but if you're free for a battle, Jim, then I'm available :)
|

So if we try to shorten the deadline to four days, maybe we should organize it so that the playing days to meet the deadline are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, with Thursday being the deadline. Then we should use Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as the days for battling one another. I feel like we can all play the game comfortably in our free time during the four week days, but since a bunch of us are too busy to fight one another during the main week days, we could probably better organize to meet and battle online during the weekend days starting with Friday. What do you all think? |
I'm happy with that proposal but there are areas of the game with tiny amounts of gameplay between badges (e.g. Roxane-Brawly and Flannery-Norman) which take so much less time than four days to go between. Maybe we could be more specific for each section of the game and have a literal list of dates to work to that matches the flow of the game?
|
Jim, it looks like everyone besides danica and jagold are at 1 badge with level 20 pokemon currently.

There's a mode in online singles that'll auto-level our 'mons to 50, right? If there is, then I'm ready to battle anyone. Feeling kinda lazy to level my two level18s to 20 atm. :P I'll be adding everyone's FCs now.
|

EDIT: Actually I'm gonna come online until she's home |

|
Good battle man! Finished with the critical Quick Attack, ouuu ;) It's funny that PC went down right as we finished. We can not count that one if you wanted, just because your Pokemon weren't actually level 20. And when you're grinding that much, 2 levels is actually a considerable amount of EVs.
|
Oh yeah and guys lol I was fucking around with the DexNav and found a shiny Ralts on a chain of three :o I'm probably going to evolve it into the male form of Gardevoir (I forget his name) and add it to my team after the fourth badge. Anyway I'm available for battles all night. PM me or just ask for a battle if I'm online on PSS.
|
OMG shiny! Congrats!!! I have a shiny Gallade too but he was caught by Pokeradar chaining on Pearl. Called him Sgt. Pepper :) he now is on my shiny hunting team as my false swiper
|
Anyone up for a battle? I prefer the levels are set to 50 cuz I still have two members of my team whom are levels18 atm. :3
|
I'll battle with a few different Pokemon if you wanted? And I'm sure most of you know, but you can re-battle trainers along the routes. And you can use the AreaNav to figure out who's ready for a rematch. Makes grinding a lot easier.
Tomorrow is the last day to get the Stone badge. How long are we going to set for the Knuckle badge? I'm going to suggest a day or two just because there is very little in-game content between the two badges. What y'all think? |
Quote:
So far I've fought: Jim(Devon) - Loss Living Arrow(David) - Loss GreenLegend56(GreenLegend) - Loss BlackTalon(BlackTalon) - Win So I've got three losses and one win. Now I just need to fight danica and destinedjagold and then I can continue on. I will be free to battle almost all day today, so if danica or jagold are looking to fight I am free for it. |
Same here. There's only so much hunting and super training you can do XD the only people I have left to fight I believe are Arrow, Danica and... maybe Black Talon? I can't remember if we battled yet or not :s this week has been so crazy for me.
|
Ahhhh good battle man, you got me. I never knew Grotle was grass/ground until that battle! Learning something new every day lol. So I think the only people I have to battle are Danica and Black Talon.
|
Grotle isn't - it's pure Grass :)
But damn that was close. Your Taillow and Lombre both caught me off guard!!! What's with those moves!? LOL. |
Whoa wait WHAT? Lmao it is only grass! Damnnn... oh well, now I know for next time. And yeah I got lucky and caught a Tailow with Boomburst... it doesn't have great Sp. Atk but the base power is like 140 or something so it's good for the beginning battles :) I also didn't let my Lotad evolve until level 18 so it learned Mega Absorb... just something better than Absorb. I usually have it holding a Pecha berry, too, so Natural Power turns into electricity and, sometimes, I can take out flying types.
BTW your Linoone and Grotle are nuts dude. That was the closest battle I've fought yet. My palms were actually sweating at one point... as soon as I saw how little damage Peck did to Grotle I was like, "... fuck.". If I had known he was only grass I might have tried Flame Charge LMAO. That was crazy fun though. I forgot to edit your win in, I'm going to do that now. |
ALSO, IF I DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF WINS POSTED FOR ANYONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL CHANGE IT.
|
I have 3 wins (Jim, Talon, Coffee) and 1 loss (Greenie) :)
|
I currently don't have any wins :( I've lost to Arrow, Coffee, and GreenLegend.
|
GG Jim, My team is super weak to taillow right now. You better believe I'm changing it up for the next badge haha
|
Good battle Black Talon! I think it was only due to luck I won... if you'd hit my Taillow with that Rock Tomb it would have been a totally different outcome.
|

Don't worry too much about it! Also, I know you were feeling super upset about your Lombre, but I can tell you right here and right now, give that Lombre a little more time and it is going to be scary as hell! When you brought that Lombre out at first, I seriously held my breath, Lombre is so scary to come up against IMO. When you get the chance, give that Lombre a little bit of rain and it will seriously be a force to be reckoned with! :D |
DDAAANNNIIIIICCCAAAAA HERE I COMEEEE >:D

So the locked team is the pokemon you pick to fight us with. You may pick any three pokemon of what you have collected so far, you post them on here as your three battling members, and then they are locked in as your team until you post on here again making a request to swap your current battling party members for different ones as well as a small explanation as to why you are swapping it. You are only allowed to play with three pokemon in your playable team against each of us until we have acquired the fourth badge, after that you may have a party of six pokemon to battle against us instead of just three. However, during your initial playthrough of the game, you may play with as many pokemon on your team as you like. You can fight NPC's and such with a full team of six, the three pokemon limit is only while fighting us. |

If you want to swap Pokemon, you have the chance to do so at the beginning of each "section". So, for example, tomorrow when we start the Knuckle Badge section, everyone will get a chance to swap one or all of their Pokemon. Keeps things fresh, and this wasn't meant to be super competitive anyway. Just for fun :) I'm gonna re-write the rules in a bit though and add everything we've tweaked/come up with together. I'll also add you to the list of players right now, and your FC to my system :) Welcome to the play-through. |

Guys I have a question for you. How do you feel about only using Pokemon obtainable up to our current progress in game, MINUS that "special starter" we can have? I think it would add a level of fairness, to a degree. I understand if we've planned our teams outside the Hoenn Pokedex though, so if this is a problem for you speak up! Make your voice heard :p |
Quote:
|
I think I feel like it would make this play-through seem more unique to ORAS and the Hoenn region, too. But I agree with you, Legend, I'm not against it either. Was just an idea.

I've added bellatrix the poochyena and Juliet the ralts to my team.
|
Quote:
If we have the Hoenn only restriction, maybe we can just have an agreement to try and fight one another with our perfect teams after we all complete the playthrough, that way we can all see one another's power in battling with no restrictions at the end. :D |
I'm probably being a dunce but do we have legendary rules? Obviously we have the Lati's and Primal Groudon/Kyogre later on which might make the game oddly skewed if we used them...
|
I didn't really have a particular team in mind, I more of just go along my way and if I find a cool pokemon, then I might add it to my team. Obviously with this style then my team would be completely obtainable in Hoenn only.
|
Quote:
ALSO how many days for the Knuckle Badge? Do you guys wanna just group the Knuckle and Dynamo badges together? We'd miss a battle but idk... it's up to you. |
Quote:
|
By the way I have just beaten Roxanne so I'm ready to battle people, I'll be on throughout today
|
Quote:
And seeing as today is that beginning of the second section, I'm going to switch out Taillow for Kirlia. |
I haven't hit the level cap from Roxanne. I would be fine battling at level 50. Should I wait and just battle people after Brawley?
|
Quote:
|
Quote:
|
I'm not even gonna add that to the wins, it wasn't really fair... I had some moves I wouldn't have had at that section and shit like that. Good battle though :) if you wanna just keep progressing up to the level 25 level cap go ahead, you'll be at the same place most of us are now (or will be soon)!
|

Quote:
Here's how I do it: I make my way through the story until the gym leader. If you don't over-train your Pokemon, you shouldn't be anywhere near the level cap by the time you make it to them. Once you've defeated the leader and all their gym trainers, you should be a little closer to the cap. While you're able to battle other players at this point, it would be wise to train your Pokemon up until they reach the maximum level for the current section, just to get that extra boost to your stats and maybe learn a few moves, you know? In short, no, you don't have to be level 25 by the time you battle Brawly. You just can't be over level 25 when you're battling with us! :) |

Quote:
I also should mention, I'm not a huge fan of using Legendary pokemon for battling, so if you guys choose not to use Legendary pokemon, that is a-ok with me. |
So I just got the Knuckle Badge!
I'm now switching out my Beautifly for my Abra and I'm ready to start accepting challenges for this section :) |
So, I haven't fought everybody... are we allowed to move on even if we have not fought everybody?
|
I figured I would since Danica won't be online the same time as me. Plus all my pokes are still at the original cap of 20 if needed ;)
|
Quote:
I personally want to fight everybody just so it feels like a group effort, not saying missing out once or twice stops it from being that, just want to make sure it's still a group effort rather than a solo adventure with a few internet comments. lol |

|
Would it be possible to start battling against people after Brawly?
|

Alright, so based on what I'm reading, I'm going to go for the second badge.
I'm in the town where the next gym is, so it will probably take me only an hour or two. I actually have a few things I need to go do, so I'll be available for battle again tonight at around 6pm pacific. |
I think we should set a deadline for this section of June 30th (being done with this section by the end of the 30th).
|
Quote:
|
So I got home much earlier than expected, so I'm available for battle probably for the rest of today. Anybody who wants to battle I am available, until then I'm going to grab the second badge and make my way towards the third badge and then will stop.before nabbing it. :)
Edit: I just tried connecting and it seems the servers are under maintenanace(?), will update when I can connect. |
Just got the Knuckle Badge and just arrived to Slateport. Might train my Pokémon some more before I battle anyone.
The level cap in the first post is still not updated. It'll be easier to check the level cap on there instead of reading previous posts of this here thread. Can it be updated? Anyway, I think I'll stick with my currently listed team for battles, though Poochyena already evolved into a Mightyena. :3 |
Yeah I've just arrived in Slateport, KO'd Brawly and my pokemon are still at level 20, the level cap for Watson is 25 right?
|
Damn yeah I guess there's maintenance :( oh well, can't be helped.
|

I've also been wanting to know, is the level cap before the third gym 25? I'm nervous about leveling up my pokmeon past 20 for the sake of the rules. I've already beaten the second gym, but my pokemon are still level 20, same team. |
Quote:
I'm assuming you're in the same position I was: just beat Brawly with little to no in-game content left, but needing to grind to level 25. So yeah, as I said in a post above, I just went ahead and dipped to Slateport. I know this seems sketchy, and it kinda is, but I promise by next badge everything will be cool <3 lol |
Quote:
If the PSS gets moving again I'll still be available for battle all night. :) |
Quote:
|
Whoa! I just have to say, I just got into Mauville city... it is so huge! It's nothing like I remember it at all! It really is cool how this game still feels nostalgic but it still constantly feels new and improved. I'm really glad I hopped back into the main franchise by playing this game, it's really impressed me so far. (Better late than never!)
|
Just beaten brawly now heading to granite cave then slayport then mauville. And are we battling after the dynamo badge or now?
|
Quote:
|
Hey does anyone have discord? It's like a game-chat client thing... it's pretty cool, if you guys wanted to use that shit I'd be down.
:D In other news Global Link is still down and the website still says nothing is wrong... |
Quote:
|
I'm going to do some more grinding before I take people on cause my team for the levels in the game is rather underlevelled
