I don't want to have a signature any more. No-one will see it. It's useless. And I'm bad at making them and they get disabled.

Beach Ball the Blastoise ♀ - Modest - Lv. 66
I like far too many Water types to narrow this slot down. In my early drafts, this team was about to become a Water Monotype team. I decided to chose the first Water type I adored. In Blue, my Blastoise was nicknamed Beach Ball, so I bred a new one to celebrate that.

Breezie the Pelipper ♀ - Jolly - Lv. 61
I wanted to especially include a Pelipper because Florida has many seagulls. I live 30+ minutes away from the beach, and I still can see 'em.

Victini the Victini - Jolly - Lv. 73
Speaking of beaches, one of my fondest summer memories would be watching the 4th of July fireworks at the beach at night with my family. It was a phenomenal feeling I will always cherish because my whole family was there; I hadn't seen my older brother in years.

Hot Pocket the Rotom - Timid - Lv. 66
I wanted to add a second Fire type into the mix because Florida is HOT. However, summer to me is also allll about staying indoors and eating junk food!

Gordo the Slaking ♂ - Adamant - Lv 61
Rolling around in bed all day is my kind of lazy day. Gordo means fat in Spanish, and boy do I gain on the pounds during the summer. Thanks to Sammi for breeding the shiny egg for me.

Sugar the Florges ♀ - Serious - Lv. 71
And thank you to Luke for giving me this beauty a few days after X/Y released, and also a huge thanks for buying the game for me. It means a lot to me. I hadn't gotten around to evolving her until today. I appreciate challenges like these because it motivates me to pick up the games again and try out Pokemon I love and make new memories. Here's to many more summers.

Anddd I spent too much time training and posting rather than finishing off Diantha. Gonna do that now. :'3

You aren't eligible to win for most creative team if you don't sign up during the time frame for that theme, but technically you can do the themes longer if you want.

Second theme is up! I worked longer than I thought I would today so the winner for the team will have to wait til tomorrow. Again, sorry for any inconvenience guys.

Username: banjopop7_7

Team:
Spoiler:
Glaceon - Let it gooooo. Elsa from Frozen
Mamoswine - There are two things that fit in the category of big, hairy and brown. Mamoswine and Chewbacca. Chewbacca from Star wars

Pyroar - Both scary lions! Scar from The lion king
Ariados - This Pokemon is a Spider. Spider-man.
Raichu - Two mouses. Mickey Mouse



Here I put the Pokemon who didn't make it to the final team, but are still cool to mention.

Uxie. The colors are the same, but Uxie doesn't look happy. Joy from Inside out
Swanna and Ducklett - they would make a good Duck couple. Donald and Daisy from Mickey Mouse

Wow, this is not the easiest theme ever, but I'll try my best.
Username: Hann
Game: Omega Ruby
Team:
Spoiler:
Chatot - Iago from Aladdin
Sableye - Stitch from Lilo & Stitch
Donphan - Dumbo from well... Dumbo
Sawsbuck (Autumn) - Bambi from..., yeah you got it I think
Tentacruel (Shiny for whatever reason) - Ursula from The Little Mermaid
Pyroar (M) - Simba from the Lion King, I couldn't dare build a team without this one in it.

I think all of these are Disney movies (I could be wrong though). I'm not 100% satisfied with it either, so I might try to do a better job later.

Edit: Whoops, I think I'll have to change my username everywhere now -_-

Disney theme? That's pretty cool, considering that not terribly long ago I did a challenge on Black that had my naming theme being Disney characters :P But that doesn't mean I won't go for it again!

So picking a winner for the summer themes was way harder than I thought it was going to be...so I picked three instead! And I'll likely just increase the next themes to three winners as well, lol. So the winners for the most summery themed teams are...

Spoiler:
DyingWillFlareon, Buzz Buzz, and TwilightBlade! :)


I haven't had a chance to make an emblem yet you guys, again apologies, but I will get to it as soon as I can and award you three with it. n__n Congrats guys and thanks to everyone that played the summer theme! Everyone's teams were really awesome, and choosing three winners might have been a bit much, but...eh! :)

In case anyone was wondering what my issue has been lately, which again I do apologize for, is that my laptop's backlight won't work at all so I'm limited to my phone to make posts and such. If you've tried to edit threads and read a bunch of posts through a phone though, you know that it gets a bit tedious and annoying sometimes. The plan is to buy a cheap laptop sometime soon to last me until I have the money for a new full fledged laptop though guys, so I really appreciate your patience. :)

And here is my Disney theme: Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Spoiler:
It really reminds me of Milo. He's a bit uptight, skinny/lanky, and he looks like he doesn't sleep...Milo doesn't seem to sleep, lol. I could see a Watchog in some glasses like Milo's, for sure.

For Kida. I couldn't think of another Water type that I wanted to represent her, I just knew it had to be blue and graceful and Suicune is the epitome of that. Not only that though, Suicune is the version mascot for Crystal and Atlantis relies on a giant crystal for their lives, which Kida has a connection to aside from the general one.

Crystal in mind, Carbink is here to represent the small crystals the citizens of Atlantis wear around their necks.

Probopass represents the big stone faces of past leaders of Atlantis that revolve around the giant crystal.

The zoomers that the citizens of Atlantis ride on look a lot like Relicanth. They're probably way cooler to ride on, though.

oh my- I can't believe this

Do you mind if I trade my last team and the rest of this challenges to Y? I thought it's be fun on AS but te League rematches are Level 70ish. -.- I'm hurrying to conplete the last one.

Anyhow, Disney Team: I couldn't decide on a single movie to use so I picked these guys. :)
Spoiler:
Coming soon to a League near you
Raichu- The Mickey/Minnie must have for Disney. Named accordingly to whether I get a male or female one.
Golurk- Baymax from Big Hero 6, y'all know you love San Fran Tokyo.
Stoutland-The Beast from Beauty and the Beast.
Lickylicky- Prince Charming. Don't you dare deny it looks fancy.
Garbodor- Cause all those Disney haters say "Disney is trash". :P i laughed outside when I thought of this one
Yveltal- The whole "save the world from destruction" plot reminds me of the most destructive Pokemon. That and I wanted to actually use my Yveltal in Y. ;w;

Wow, thanks a lot! I enjoyed all the different teams people made, it's amazing to see what a bit of creativity can come up with and how, honestly, so many Pokémon fit into the theme with the right description/reason.
I've made a good start on my next team, I'm just breeding for a nickname-able male (-_-) Litleo so I can start training everyone.

Chandelure - Lumiere; basically a candlestick. That you hang to the ceiling, yup.
Klinklang - Cogsworth; it has cogs, so.
Musharna - Mrs. Potts; uhm, it's pink and it has a trunk (sort of) like the teapot's spout. And the dream mist counts for steam from the tea, so there.
Rapidash - Philippe the horse.

Ah, too bad I haven't seen this earlier. But I'd like to join in on the Disney theme. My team will consist of rather antagonistic characters from different series. I had lots of fun putting it together already. ^^

Username: Tora
Game: Y
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.
