Reforming The Prism League
 
Important update: Thanks to Aggrojag, we have an official Discord server! Link to the Prism League group is here: https://discord.gg/njy6M



For the sake of clarity and new faces;

We're going to make a league, or more accurately - revive a league. It'll be similar to the league in the first 6 generations of the series, with 8 leaders, and 4 elite members, and potentially a champion.
  • Challengers will begin the challenge with a team of 6 pokemon, which they cannot change without restarting their challenge.
  • Challengers are NOT bound to any type limitations.
  • Leaders and Elites teams will have 2 types they select, which will restrict their teams to pokemon solely consisting of those types.
  • Leaders and Elites will select a battle format (Singles or Doubles only, for the love of Dunsparce) for their gym to be challenged in.
  • Leaders may keep a variety of Pokemon in their arsenal for the gym, provided they do not deliberately counter-pick challengers, and that rule will be enforced airing on the side of favoring the challenger.
    [*)Challengers MAY use any varying builds for their 6 Pokemon per different battle in their challenge, so long as they do not change any of the species mid-challenge. [We may discuss a swing Pokemon as we previously had in the last iteration of the League, depending on how difficult challenge completion becomes.]
  • Challengers will advance through the league in order of Gym Leaders First, then Elites. The order of leaders challenged or elites challenged does not matter.
  • Subtitutes for Gym Leaders who are not available for challenge should it become an issue will be available.
  • Sportsmanlike conduct will be greatly appreciated. Unsportsmanlike conduct will totally not make you friends, and will make you look like a butt.
    [More on the rules once the league takes off.]

So far - the registered entrants for the league include:

Polar Spectrum - Polar: 4570-7938-0346 Flying / Fighting
Skyburial - skyburialVGC: 0061-2185-6938 Fairy / Steel
Charcoal Embers - Josh: 0516-7789-0240 Ghost / Fire
TGM - TGM: 4356-0447-3309 Ice / Water
Iloebet - ??? - ??? Water / Electric
Thopok - ??? - 3883-9520-6456 Fire / Grass
Kyoto Kerberos Dragon / ???
Aggrojag - Mike: 0834-1302-7467 Normal / Fairy
FireSnow - ??? - 3669-2553-5411
PicPax - Pic - 1950-9267-2878 Steel / Dragon
Oblivion Wing - ???: ??? Dark / Ghost
Doodlebug - ??? : ??? Fighting / Rock


We have 11 members currently. Which means we'll be starting out with 3 elites and 8 leaders. Types have been selected almost entirely for all members.

Placement matches for the league have concluded - these matches dictated position and first dibs on typings for league members.

As of right now, we're operating solely on cartridge. That may change depending on performance and turnout.

skyburial December 1st, 2016 7:05 PM

Making this post as a formality for people who don't know me as Skyberries.

The Prism League was the first opportunity I got to play 6v6 Doubles on cartridge and I fell in love with the format immediately. I strongly encourage any of you who want to use your whole competitive team (an option unavailable on any in-game ladder) to check this league out. It's a blast.

We also have a pretty rad sub-community that has sprung up in tandem with the Prism League.

Charcoal Embers December 1st, 2016 7:30 PM

I'll definitely try and come back in as a gym leader. It was fun when I did it before and it will be fun once again. It will just likely be harder with me having a job...

But as an introduction, I'm Charcoal. I've been alright at battling, though with me being so out of practice I may not be as tough. XD For the most part tho, I'm a breeder, so while I enjoy battling I will always make sure that the pokemon I breed are of good quality. So once I start getting all my tools together in Sun and Moon, I'll hopefully be able to churn out pokemon as per request. :P

lloebet December 2nd, 2016 1:04 PM

I'd like to join but I feel as if it'd be irresponsible of me to join a league without breeding the ultimate mon.

But if you're fine with me not having the perfect bred pokemon


sure.

TGM December 2nd, 2016 1:54 PM

I'm down with doing this again, just have to get some good mons again first...

Polar Spectrum December 3rd, 2016 12:13 AM

Guys; none of us probably have well-bred mons on cart yet; the bank ain't out til January hahah.

Doesn't mean we can't still get scrappy.

So far I count myself, Skyberries, TGM, Char, and Sad Boy in potential ranks. I'mma PM Sad to see if we can get more coordinated to get this up and running. Also spread word y'all. The more the merrier.

Charcoal Embers December 3rd, 2016 7:38 AM

And it's as I said already. I'm a breeder, and I'm working on collecting what I need in order to breed effectively. If need be once I get all my stuff together I can try and help out with getting people some Pokémon they would use

Thanks mate :D Helpful man right here.

But anywho; keeping it relevant -

I'll be poking the old accounts from the original league, to see who's still around if anyone is. OP for this thread will be update as thing progress. The Prism League account will be used for the challenges or battles thread. Assuming we can make it work the same way again.

lloebet December 4th, 2016 10:49 AM

Keep me informed!

skyburial December 4th, 2016 3:19 PM

Although my regular team of VGC compatriots is a bit too diehard competitive for this, I have a Premier Challenge coming up on the 10th and will see if I can field some recruits there. There are a few people I can think of who would dig on something like this. Also I have a Facebook group that I'm a member of and I'll mention it there.

Polar Spectrum December 9th, 2016 2:15 PM

Sorry I'm not more proactively rebuilding this here at the moment, for whatever reason I chose finals week to return to the forum. AFTER finals, I should be available more and still just as involved with pokemon.

Then we'll do some scouting I guess. Cuz I'm thinking we need at least 8 people for this, bottom line. Assuming a light turnout, we can start with 6 leaders and 2 elites. That'll at least make type drafting easier.

scuttles December 10th, 2016 8:33 PM

Hey, I'm one of the people Skyburial was talking about in his last post, so count me in. I've posted this thread to our Facebook page, and will try to hype it up through email and word of mouth through the days to come (we're dealing with finals on our end too).

Keep us posted on what's going on, and we should be able to bring some more people in on this.

Same! Totally interested in this.

Kyoto Kerberos December 11th, 2016 9:58 PM

Ooh this looks fun. I'm interested. Wouldn't mind being a gym leader or elite four member. Dark/Dragon types. I call it. Lol.

You make 8.

Carry on!

(not addressed to the OP specifically, as - like I said - this is well done, just in general)

Awh, shoot - sorry about that, I've been away for a while and I've not kept up on proper protocol. Thanks for the green light. It wont' be a shabby clusterfuck accommodating spam and whatnot, I promise.

ANYWHO. We have hit that magical number, 8 peeps to start with. The names as I see so far are -

Polar Spectrum
Skyburial
Charcoal Embers
TGM
Iloebet
Scuttles
Daddy Octopole
Kyoto Kerberos


I'm sending out PM's and skype messages and the like to try and set a date for an ORGANIZED type draft, one we can all attend and diligently carry out to get this done neatly and quickly. We'll probably end up doing a round robin tourney or something, but we'll work that out after we get 8 confirmations for people joining, and a date settled.

Buckle in gents - we're just about back! :D

Also, updating OP with the names list thus far. Anyone NOT in that list, please PM or VM me with a heads up. Thhhhanks.

Edit: The OP is update with more elaborations on rules as I remember them from the last go - around, and who we have participating. Cheers loves.

Polar Spectrum December 21st, 2016 3:15 PM

Second Round of PM's have gone out - we're shooting for battling for rank between Monday, December 26th, and Saturday, December 31sts. I'll post the PM here in case I missed anybody.

*Update Regarding Prism League Formation*

Sorry about the delay in replies - due to the holidays and general chaos; we're looking to schedule the 3DS battles anytime between Monday, December 26th, and Saturday, December 31sts If that's generally a bad time for the majority of people involved - we can push it back to early January.

Please let me know if and when any time during that span you'll be available for a few battles!

Thanks for all the responses so far!
- Polar

I understand there's a few people that PM'd me with interest that haven't posted here - post in this thread so you can get into the OP! It will be kept up to date with membership and other information!

PicPax December 22nd, 2016 11:27 AM

I'm here to try out for a gym position. I don't have Sun/Moon yet, so I'd have to do my Battles on Showdown, and preferably on a weekend. I can do Battles any day really, but it would be a massive pain until I get the games and breed some Pokemon, and I can't promise it wouldn't go wrong with what I need to use right now. XBox Microsoft Edge is pretty bad. Anyways, I'm not sure what else to add, so I'll leave it there.

Polar Spectrum December 24th, 2016 12:32 PM

So there's a few people saying, understandably, that they don't have pokemon or teams ready on Sun / Moon yet. That's totally fine, that's a large portion of people right now since Bank isn't available, buuuuut, if you don't have mons / teams to use in placement matches, what are you going to use when you actually have a challenger in your gym, once you place?

I think for that reason, until we either have more enough people to do two separate leagues on both platforms again, or everyone can do both - we need to stick to working on cartridge.

So for the placement matches;

The placement matches will take place Monday, December 26th through Friday December 30th.
They will take place on cartridge in Sun / Moon.
You and your opponent may choose the format.
If you cannot mutually agree, do two matches - one in either format, or flip a coin.
The OP will be updated with Friend Codes of all members involved - as well as match outcomes.
Placement matches will be conducted in a round-robin format where everyone participating will have a chance to battle each other.
BE FAMILIAR WITH RULESETS BEFORE THE MATCHES BEGIN.
SAVE BATTLE VIDEOS.


I'll drop my FC here too; as well as keep it in my sig.

Polar: 4570-7938-0346

PicPax December 24th, 2016 8:21 PM

Give me a week or so, and I think I'll be ready for anything. The only problem will be getting a 5-6 IV Ditto, but once I have that, I should have a servicable Team to use for League related events.

Polar Spectrum December 27th, 2016 1:48 AM

Don't feel too bad; since there's only 8 people involved right now- it's guaranteed we all get spots in the league save a scenario where there's a bunch of last second entries by people who have teams made already in sun / moon. I can already tell you my team I'll be starting with will be almost half pokemon I just beat the elite 4 with.

All during this week, until Friday the 30th, we will be conducting the placement matches. After that, we'll be choosing types based on placement match performance. Then, we're open for challengers.

If your information in the OP is NOT PRESENT, you need to respond to my private messages, or post it here so you can be reached for the matches. Even losses will count for more than a lack of battles when it comes time to pick types; so it is completely to your advantage to show up now for the placement matches and battle, even if you lose.

Thopok December 28th, 2016 5:30 PM

Hey everyone,

I would love to be a part of this league! I'm a bit late to the party since everyone else has already started doing placement matches and such, but hopefully there is a way to work myself onto the system. My friend code is 3883-9520-6456, which might be useful depending on what I need to do next. I would be happy just taking whatever is left for types and having a weird hodgepodge team to battle with, hopefully that makes things easier. Let me know what else I should do!

scuttles December 28th, 2016 10:26 PM

Sorry to be lame, but I think I'm gonna bow out. I've been traveling and working on other projects, and only saw the thread today, so I am totally not prepared. Thanks for the invite though, and I know I'll see some of you around when I'm wearing different hats.

Aggrojag December 29th, 2016 4:14 AM

I volunteer as sacrifice in place of scuttles.

TGM December 29th, 2016 11:10 AM

sooo one day away from the 30th

haaaas anyone got any matches done? I know I haven't gotten anything done yet

Polar Spectrum December 29th, 2016 8:27 PM

Scuttles is out, Thropok and Aggrojag are in - OP has been updated.

There is a suspicious lack of battles going on here; taking action to rectify that now.

Polar Spectrum December 30th, 2016 4:06 PM

Got 3 placement matches in with Charcoal Embers, TGM, and Pic Pax - results are as follows -

Polar Spectrum vs Charcoal Embers -
Charcoal Embers won
Battle Vid: We both failed to grab it lol

Polar Spectrum vs TGM
Polar Spectrum won
Battle Vid: 4BHW-WWWW-WWW3-QR38

Polar Spectrum vs PicPax
Polar Spectrum won
Battle Vid: VSEW-WWWW-WWW3-QR53


So right now, I'm 2-1 with 3 matches played.

I know there's more going on too; post 'em up people!

We wanna have an order for picks by January 1st.

Aggrojag December 30th, 2016 6:29 PM

Discord: https://discord.gg/jcy7WwY
This will be for anyone participating in the league. Whether it be gym leaders, or challenges. Sent some PMs out too with the link as well.

Edit: Also, are we limiting ourselves to Smogon's OU or anything like that? Or is this anything goes? There's a certain mon that I particularly like that is on the uber list.
Edit2: Finishing my team up tonight. I'll take battle invite as of tomorrow morning

Polar Spectrum January 2nd, 2017 8:18 AM

Alright; y'all motha*****'s so lazy - those placement matches I posted above were apparently the only ones that happened lol. So here's the order of picks for the type draft:
*note - This list was formed based on the number of wins, then matches played, then by primacy of post in this thread.

Polar Spectrum
Charcoal Embers
TGM
PicPax
Skyburial
Illobet
DaddyOctopole
KyotoKerberos
Thropok
Aggrojag
FireSnow

We'll go from first to last with the full pool of typings, then refresh the pool and start back from the first pick. That way nobody gets stuck with the leftovers of types nobody picked initially; and we have as much variety as possible.

The Drafting process WILL BE COMPLETE THIS WEEK. By Friday. I'll be collecting requests via PM too, so if everyone's lazy on picking their damn types, I'll do it automatically through their first second and third preferences in order of their pick.

Let's get it started people -

I'll choose Flying for my pick. Charcoal Embers is up next.

THE REMAINING TYPES FOR FIRST PICKS ARE:
Normal
Fire
Fighting
Water
Flying
Grass
Poison
Electric
Ground
Psychic
Rock
Ice
Bug
Dragon
Ghost
Dark
Steel
Fairy

DaddyOctople, KyotoKerberos, and Thopok are next - in that order. I'll begin poking to keep things moving.

Edit: DaddyOctople seems to be a bit busy currently, so we'll pass on over his type for now - Kyoto Kerberos' is up next, and thankfully, they've supplied their list for their top picks for type selections, and their first pick of Dragon is still available. So I'll update the list accordingly, and we're on to Thopok.

IMPORTANT: Everyone please stick with us just a bit longer, as we complete the second round. It will go in the same order as the first one; so mind your turn. The whole type pool will be refreshed for the second round, so all types will be available again. PLEASE - send me a list of your top six picks for your second type, again, in case of a stall.

skyburial January 6th, 2017 7:38 AM

Since Charcoal has chosen my first choice I will put forward that my next 3 in order of priority are Steel, Ground, and Water.

Also raising to motion that we use the Doubles OU banlist instead of the OU banlist in Doubles, which would allow the use of things like the Megas Kangaskhan and Salamence.

TGM January 6th, 2017 1:33 PM

My second pick shall be water. I will become the coolest member of the prism league.

PicPax January 6th, 2017 1:47 PM

Well, looks like I got unlucky. I'm going for the next best thing in the Dragon Typing.

skyburial January 6th, 2017 3:24 PM

Looks like I get Steel then XD

Polar Spectrum January 6th, 2017 4:09 PM

Updated - and that sounds good with the banlist Skyberries, although we'd have to work out how it would work with stuff that's considered broken in singles being let into the singles matches.

Oblivion Wing! :D Welcome back man, good to see you again - you're absolutely welcome, you're in on the draft and in on the league mate, check your PM's for something I sent asking about your first pick and etc. Glad to see you're still around.

So far it's Polar, Charcoal Embers, TGM, and myself from the previous season's league.

Welcome back, Oblivion :3

Oh perfect! Sounds good to me. And thank you, I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread.

Now the questions... What are we doing now? And where do we go from here?

Well, the type draft is still going on. And then after we've finished that I do believe we're clear to start taking challengers.

I know I'll be personally vetting the league in a week or two.

Same. I just wanted to see if there was anything that I could help with. I pm Polar, but he doesn't seem to be around.

Polar Spectrum January 9th, 2017 9:31 PM

Thank you Aggrojag - and with that, it's back to you for your second pick Oblivion Wing! And after you do that, we'll just be open for business. And I'll start spreading the word, posting in other forums / sections of this forum, etc to get the word out (hopefully along with some other people doing the same).

So in the meantime, we should all just be making teams that fit our selected types, and preparing for challengers. Or, making challenge teams of our own - to challenge the league with. :D

Just to make it official through here as well Polar, my second pick will be Ghost... Ready like old times!

Though, I started a new game and I'm on my second island trial. Luckily, however, I traded back and forth with a trusty member (Colour) and a friend of mine to keep my team and pokes. But I always knew this would come back so I raised a Dark/Ghost team just in case (I was hoping for this to happen no joke) so you can imagine just how stoked and exited I am about this.

I will also be trying to bring awareness for the league itself.

Doodlebug January 10th, 2017 11:07 AM

I have always wanted to do something like this, am I to late to join? If at all possible could I also make my first round pick?

DaddyOctopole January 10th, 2017 4:04 PM

Yeah, unfortunately I'm going to have to drop too due to school and travel. Hopefully will be able to stop by as a challenger.

Thopok January 10th, 2017 5:29 PM

I was waiting for Kyoto to pick before I did, but I will go with grass since it doesn't seem like they will pick any time soon. Did we ever decide on a rule set by the way? My vote would be for Alolan Dex, but whatever everyone was thinking are good with me.

Prism is a multiformat league, and at least last season, the OU banlist applied to all battles in order to provide challengers with consistency, and each leader/elite chose whether their gym was a doubles or singles gym.

Doodlebug January 11th, 2017 10:12 AM

So I got the OK from Polar on joining the league, I see you all have made your first round picks and have begun the second round and i know i will be last to choose for this round but for the first round could I make my pick? And if so I choose Fighting

Thopok January 11th, 2017 2:34 PM

Sounds good to me, let the team building begin!

Doodlebug January 11th, 2017 3:44 PM

So also can i make my second type choice for rock?

Polar Spectrum January 12th, 2017 12:04 AM

Alright! Deep breath y'all - the setup for the league is pretty much done. (Save a few minor things, like a new addition or two.) And here's what we've wound up with:


Polar Spectrum: Flying / Fighting
Charcoal Embers: Ghost / Fire
TGM: Ice / Water
PicPax: Steel / Dragon
Skyburial: Fairy / Steel
Illobet: Water / Electric
KyotoKerberos: Dragon / Pass
Thopok: Fire / Grass
Aggrojag: Normal / Fairy
Oblivion Wing: Dark / Ghost
Doodlebug: Fighting / Rock

Congrats to everyone on picking / securing your types, and get to team building! If you weren't already aware, you are not required to make one team and stick to it for all challenges, you are allowed to make an entire arsenal of pokemon that fit your gym's types, and use them as you see fit - so long as it's not counterpicking challenger's teams.

Doodlebug, I'll be PM'ing you more, but those two types are in fact open for both slots! So you totally got fighting / rock mate. Welcome aboard :D

As it stands right now, we have a healthy 11 members. Which means we'll be doing 8 gyms and 3 elites. Further rule discussion and developments to the league will be discussed in this thread, and pending the mods' approval, we'll have a separate thread for posting challenges and results, as well as tracking challenge progress and teams.

Doodlebug January 12th, 2017 11:26 AM

Quick question, are mega evolutions allowed and are we sticking to VGC or smogon OU and if Smogon, is it going to be pre or post bank since we know bank will be available this month?

Prism is a multiformat league, so you'll either be playing OU or 6v6 Doubles with the OU restriction list. Technically all we can play is prebank right now on cart, but once the bank is released you'll have access to all of those Pokemon for the league. Mega evolutions are allowed. Last season we had a flex slot in place for switching between doubles and singles, so you could swap out a Pokemon for another that was more relevant to the format. I've proposed that if we do that again, that we also implement the Doubles OU banlist in double battles.

In the meantime, no Mawile, Kangaskhan, Salamence, or Gengar megas will be allowed at all. The rest are fine.

Polar Spectrum January 16th, 2017 12:07 PM

Hey y'all, quick update since it's been a minute - and some responses to things above.
  • The type draft is over, everyone's selected typings should be up to date in the OP. PLEASE message me, if I borked something up there, and your types are something other than what I have listed.
  • We're shooting for having full teams ready for our gym / elite positions by This coming Friday, January the 20th.
  • Your gym teams should be ready to go on cartridge, and can include any pokemon legal by either the singles OU tier list if your gym will be singles format, or doubles OU format if your gym will be in doubles format.
  • Challenger teams can consist of Seven pokemon, to counter the varying formats of the gym leaders. The pokemon you leave out of a match can change at any time throughout your challenge.
  • IF WE GET ENOUGH PEOPLE FOR SHOWDOWN - we can absolutely start doing a league on both platforms again, but we'd need at least Six reliable people to lock in their availability to play on showdown for the league spots. PM me, or post if you'd like to participate.

Oh, and lastly - if anybody wants to do practice battles, test out their teams, or do anything before the league starts up - I'm totally available for matches on cartridge. I have a sorta okay team now, as I'm sure other people do too - and to find those people, again - anyone who's not in contact with myself or other members on another platform outside this forum, it is preeeetty important you get in touch - you can add me on skype, or join in the discord chat Aggrojag set up for us at this link: https://discord.gg/hAJRT It's pretty important we can all communicate some way outside the forum to give each other heads up for matches and availability and such.


Alright, good luck guys :D Battles sooooon.

Charizard_Man January 18th, 2017 11:20 PM

YOOO. The Prism League is back. I remember bein Elite 4 back in the day, dope!! Well looks like yall have everything figured out, makes me happy to see this back up. Guess I'll have to finally start breeding in Sun to get a team ready by Friday. Hope it all goes smoothly for the launch!

I've got my team ready to go! It's not exactly spectacular and I haven't playtested it at all, but it's there! The discord link isn't working for me so I'm not in there, but I'm going to throw up my info here again so that I'm ready to go whenever things happen.

Polar Spectrum January 21st, 2017 3:12 AM

I got the green light from Aurora for a challenge thread to begin posting challenge teams, make challenges, and post results! Expect that today folks :D

In the meantime, we never officially set in place who were elites; and who were leaders. While we suss out the challenge thread as it goes up - I'll be trying to battle whomever I can to test out teams (Y'all are totally welcome to and should do the same if you're able) to try and gauge where everyone is skill level wise.

Everyone should be just about ready to start taking on challengers, I'll be scrimmaging whomever I can here in order to get a sense of where everyone is.

Polar Spectrum January 25th, 2017 10:43 PM

Challenge thread is updated with Skyberry and Nah's teams - I'll be posting mine in there soon; just hard to decide who to roll with now that banks out hahah.

Also; anyone who's looking to start their challenge - I'm participating as a gym leader this time around, so you can hit me up immediately after starting your challenge if you're looking for a gym match.

Right now, I'm looking for a match with Thopok and Iloebet.

AlphaLuxray January 26th, 2017 9:05 AM

This looks fun and interesting! Got room for another leader? I've been playing VGC for a few years, so it'll translate pretty well into this if I understand the format correctly (6v6 doubles, right?).

I won't be available to start right away, since I have to get my breeding all set up, but I'd be glad to help out!

Hey there :D You're totally welcome to join; we just culled an inactive member from the roster in fact, so you're all good to just hop on. I'll PM you to establish your typings, and lets try and get a battle in sometime soon just for the sake of meeting each other ay?

Thopok January 28th, 2017 5:07 PM

So is there a time or place where we should be looking for challenges? I see the two challengers in the other thread, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to be handling it from there. Should I be pm-ing them to set up a time? Should they be contacting me? Am I supposed to be available from X:00 to X:00 on a certain day? I wasn't around for the first round of this so I don't know how it was done in the past, but I really don't feel like playing phone tag to set up a pokemon battle. I've added everyone in the challenge thread to my friends list and I will be sitting in festival plaza from 8pm to 11pm EST on Mondays and Wednesdays for challenges. If that time doesn't work for anyone, send me a PM and we can figure out a time that would work. If there is a different way that this is usually handled let me know and I will adjust my plans, otherwise I'll stick to this.

The way it worked in the previous iteration was that challengers were to make first contact with the gym leaders and not the other way around. Some of us had also posted in the challenge thread times we were likely to be available too. I imagine that hasn't changed for the new version of the Prism League.



One thing you guys might wanna do on the OP of the challenge thread is to list the battle format (singles/doubles) for each leader like last time. I know because we've had many-a battle before that sky and Polar do doubles, but other challengers might not know, and idk what format the rest of y'all are going to be fighting in.

AlphaLuxray January 30th, 2017 7:43 AM

@Nah: Good point. I'm available everyday from 5:00 to 8:00 pm GMT -8. I'll be running doubles.

I agree that we need this. A lot of challengers will want to clear the leaders who play their own preferred format, then readjust their team for the other format to finish the circuit.

Polar Spectrum January 30th, 2017 12:22 PM

Awh crap, I completely forgot to put that in for everybody. Sorry guys, expect another round of PM's to make sure I have everyone's formats straight. Or reply here - I know myself, Sky, TGM, Alpha Luxray and Doodlebug are doubles, but I still need the rest of everybody's.


And as for setting up matches, Thopok - just check the challenge thread regularly, and more importantly PM's / VM's, as the challengers should be seeking you out. (ie; the challengers visit the gyms, challenge the leaders, etc.) To make that easier, you may have noticed that all the league members names in the Challenge Thread are also links to their individual PC profiles, so you can eeeeasily PM/VM anybody you want that's listed as a member there. That plays into their ability to choose the order of people they face too.

Speaking of, I'm posting my challenge team today. And I'm going after all y'all, so watch your PM's and other means of contact.

Edit: Holy sh*t. Six people locked down doubles right away. That means even if everyone left picked singles, it'd still be 6/5 majority doubles. The times they are a changing folks. Is singles finally shriveling up?

The Prism League Season 2 February 5th, 2017 1:20 AM

Attention all members - default badge names have been issued in the challenge thread as Temporary Placeholders for everyone's gyms. To select your badge name / symbol name, PM this account with what you want it to be - and it will be used in the challenge thread.

AlphaLuxray February 18th, 2017 10:28 PM

Just wanted to say until I can get a battle in with Polar, I'll be taking a gym leader spot, handing out the Teravolt badge.

Not sure what you're waiting on Alpha, but Polar has delegated all of us with our positions at this point in the OP.

So we had talks about this on a skype group, but I'd like to bring it up here.

We could use a mascot. For reasons.

So far, the nominations I REMEMBER (I didn't write them all down :c)

Prism League mascot candidates:
Sableye, Aurorus, Necrozma, Mega Steelix, Diancie, Carbink, Alolan Ninetales. & Regice

I'd like to put up a poll, but honestly I'm not sure if I can even do that :U

AlphaLuxray March 6th, 2017 9:13 AM

Mega Diance would be awesome. Definitely one of my favorite Mega designs. My vote goes there.

Polar Spectrum March 10th, 2017 3:35 PM

Finally got that battle with Alpha Luxray in; and that makes almost all of the people who suck around.

And I'll just keep a running tally since I don't know how to do polls.


Sableye
Aurorus,
Necrozma, 1 (Polar,)
Mega Steelix,
Diancie, 1 (Alpha)
Carbink,
Alolan Ninetales.
Regice
