I'm innie

in. i have been forced.

In. Wasn't the suspense killing you ;P

Oh wait nvm bwahaha

By the way, be sure to post your team and who is in it. You can ask for additional members in the thread if you need to, or start a team from scratch by posting here. Give it a random name or number so we'll know how to identify it before giving it a mascot.

Well, posting our team for now, it may change, but seems fairly stable for now.

Team 2 (provisional name)

Pachy
Twihiki_Amias
Narnia
glitchguy
tigerBLADE

One Direction

- Harry Styles (Wolflare)
- Liam Payne (Jake♫)
- Louis Tomlinson (???)
- Niall Horan (jellicentfan1)
- Zayn Malik (.Aero)

OUR ONLY DIRECTION IS THE PATH TO VICTORY.

Team 1 (Optional Name)

Foreverdash
Diversion
JNathan
Shadowraze
Extremegamer

We will win! :D

I'm keeping the poll open until tomorrow at noon, then I'll make a decision based on it.

i voted to keep it how it is now only because aurora isn't taken yet and clearly two people who go to smogon in one team would totally be hard to beat :'(

y'all suck for not wanting me tho!! SEE HOW YOUR NU RANDBATS GO WITHOUT ME AHAHA they will lose. whoever i am with.

Well...we need a fifth member.

I don't really see why picking teams is really an issue to be honest, when teams are totally random -- regardless of who's battling -- the "better" player can technically get screwed over having a team of LC mons versus a team of UU/OU mons. The random aspect keeps everything balanced if that's what people are worried about.

Well, it looks we're doing randomized teams, because the poll results are 12-11 with randomized teams winning. It's probably for the best, as it's the fastest and most efficient method. I'll post the teams soon.

Sure, it's Randbats, but the better player will almost always win. All of the matches are BO3, so you'd have to be really unlucky to get two bad team match-ups in a row. So, I think the complaint is genuine.

Alright here are teams! I asked Pokedra to randomize the teams for me so no one would think that I changed them to my liking.

Team 1
- WeightyWillBill (regular)
- ExtremeGamer (1v1)
- JNathan (High Tier)
- Aurora. (Medium Tier)
- Forever (Low Tier)

Team 2
- ChocolateCrunch (regular)
- IdrinkWater (1v1)
- DaydreamsAway (High Tier)
- .Aero (Medium Tier)
- Wolflare (Low Tier)

Team 3
- ForeverDash (regular)
- glitchguy (1v1)
- Twilight Sky (High Tier)
- Jake♫ (Medium Tier)
- Clacla (Low Tier)

Team 4
- Diversion (regular)
- Twihiki_Amias (1v1)
- Pachy (High Tier)
- Lalapizzame (Medium Tier)
- Lapras* (Low Tier)

Team 5
- Shadowraze (regular)
- Dter ic (1v1)
- Narnia (High Tier)
- jellicentfan1 (Medium Tier)
- tigerBLADE (Low Tier)

Everyone will then receive a private message from me asking for 5 Pokemon. Each team will have a list of 25 Pokemon, and I'll randomly choose a team mascot from that pool.

Upon popularity request, members may switch Randbats formats with another, but both members who trade formats must confirm by posting in this thread or the change won't count. If you don't trade formats before the team mascots are decided, then you will be stuck with the default format you were given.

jnathan and i agreed to swap given that i only joined this to play nu randbats lol
