Prism League Discussion (Previously "Our own Pokemon X/Y League")

After joking about filling out a list, I thought that it was actually not a bad idea. Here's my rough draft.

Spoiler:

Username:
Fraction: (X/Y or Showdown)
Type 1: (see below for what you can choose)
Type 2: (see below for what you can choose)
Style: (Single, Double, Triple, Rotation)

I think we still need a few, in fact. :)

First, fill out this:

Faction: (X/Y, Showdown)
Type: (I forget what's left. Ask someone who's better then me.)

Oh hell with it, you're hired anyway!

We are actuallyyyy - but it's mandatory you be active in here, and stay attentive concerning challengers and changes to the league. So with that in mind - will you be playing on Showdown or X/Y, and what types would you like? Any two are fine, bonus points if you put Poison or Normal as either one.



It's fine. :P We need those first few warm up gym leaders anyways for less competitive challengers to still enjoy playing against. And hey; you may be able to step up your game with all the practice. ^^ As above; which format- Showdown or X/Y, and what types would you like? Bonus if you pick normal or poison as your first or second; annnnd between yourself and Dialga - whomever responds after the other, the two types that the first one picked are off limits. ^^

I got Y
hmm my team specialised in steel type if that's all good?
and i do double battle but don't mind doing single either so yeah? (:​

you will need to choose your types from the remaining types on our list. you joined late so we only have a few left, steel is already taken as a primary and secondary type so yea, sorry :/

 

[Nah]

It's a double standard, but it's a balancing effort. They're locked into 6 - but they can pick and choose six OU tier pokes of varying types that work cohesively and have excellent coverage and strategy. Leaders are not locked into six, as they can change teams whenever, but they are restricted to all of their pokemon being only two types.

So wait, which are we going with? We had brought this idea up a while ago, scrapped it, then brought it back.

Oh, that's a good idea. Put it into the OP for when/if we get new Gym Leader applicants. Title it with something like "If there are open league positions and you'd like to join, please fill out this form, then await contact from other league members". That'd be great so we'll know what division, battle type, and types they're gonna with all in one shot.

I don't remember what types are currently left though....kinda lost track of that.

 

[halcyonic]

- Exile: Steel/Flying
- Euphoric: Dragon/Bug
- Polar Spectrum: Flying/Fighting
- Zekrom: Fire/ Rock
- Charizard Man: Ground/Dragon
- TGM: Water/Ground
- Fokko: Grass/Fire
- Cyclone: Dark/Fairy
- enigma: Fairy/Steel
- BlueBoi: Ice / Ghost
- AdamEternal: Electric/Psychic
- Falkbalk: Rock (second skipped)
- Ultraviolence: Bug/Water
- Ferraligator: Ghost/Dark
- Ozymandias: Psychic/Electric
- Tetra: Poison/Fire
- Cobra Commander: Fighting/Grass
- Ingosmex: Normal/Ice

Remaining first pick: Grass, remaining second picks: Normal and Poison.

got this from cyclone a few pages back, and i think falkbalk chose steel for his second type (i got steel first :x)

polar told him to stick with steel.

Falkbalksu

7

Even though steel wasn't leftover, lets just go with that - I think there were only 2 more anyways. But yo - you gotta check in like at least once every few days mate - didn't know if you were gone or what :v

should we ask falkback to pick from normal and poison? or should we stick with falkback being rock/steel and let dialga pick grass/normal or poison?

 

[Euphoric]

I think we should ask him to pick from Normal and Poison and then give Grass/whatever he doesn't pick to Dialga.

 

[Lucky#13]

How many more league members (GL and such) are you trying to find? I am interested, just thought I was too late.

 

[Cyclone]

If Kitsuki is added to the quoted list from a few pages ago, I think two more spots. Unless they decide to make it eight Leaders after all, in which case six more spots. And which division? Not sure.

 

[Nah]

I say we should just let Falkbak do Rock/Steel and let Dialga have Grass and Normal or Poison. Makes things easier.

How many more league members (GL and such) are you trying to find? I am interested, just thought I was too late.

We have room for 1 Gym Leader on the Showdown division and 2 more on the 3DS division. Which one are you interested in? Also, I want you to know that being active is important for the league; don't sign up if you're not gonna be around to take on challengers.

 

[Lucky#13]

Well, I move back onto campus on the 24th. They have sketchy wifi, but I can work around it with my schedule being fairly consistent. Preferably the 3ds division. A friend is giving me his old laptop so Showdown will doable. If I would be needed prior to 24th I do have wifi, but I am slow when it comes to raising a team. Though this should be the motivation I need to get working on it.

Username: Lucky#13
Division: 3ds Showdown
I'll pick types that are not currently represented in this division
Type 1: Not sure what's left at this point Grass
Type 2: Still not sure what's left. Poison
Battle Type: Double, unless Triple is an option.

Won't actually have the laptop for a few more days, though.

 

[BlueCottonCandy]

I saw there was one more spot available on your 3DS Divison league. Could I join, I will be mostly active, and I am currently active on Smogon.

I actually just updated the OP. Have a look at what you're to fill out. :)

 

[Polar Spectrum]

Whoahoho- did I just see a doubles leader sign on for showdown? xD that oughtta mix things up a bit.

Welcome to the new members- thanks for being cooperative with the typings. For these last two spots we're going to have to allow repeat types though, hopefully we can go by which types are least represented in that division of the league - ie; showdown or X/Y.

And again really wanna reiterate the "staying active" part. If you sign on to be a gym leader, you will get challengers, it will be apparent if you don't keep up with satisfying those challenges, and it will be taken into account if more active participants ask for spots in the league to replace inactive members. To all the newer members I didn't get a chance up PM, a reminder- we're moving the league into "Beta" to test it out Monday, August 18th. You will get a littke slack if you just joined in these last few days, but it shouldn't be unreasonable to have a team ready by Wednesday at the latest.

If you are a new leader on X/Y - and want/need help getting your team together by Wednesday, ask around. We've got lots of helpful and experienced battlers and breeders.

 

[Nah]

I wouldn't mind filling one out despite my less than knowledgeable competitive but i have won battles before so I'm not completely hopeless and I do tend to learn. Just point me to what i have to fill out.

Ok, so I'm gonna add you guys to the list. As of now, all Showdown positions have been filled (which I'm surprised about; it seemed like 3DS was gonna fill up first). We still have one 3DS position open since Adam is bowing out of that. Kitsuki, since you didn't specify which division, are you ok with being a part of the 3DS division?

Also, you guys are gonna need to pick yer types. For all you guys's first types, you have to pick one of these: Electric, Normal, Psychic. As for your second types, you can pick one from any of the 18 types in the game, except Steel and whatever was chosen before you.
Lucky, I already gave you Grass and Poison.



Here's the OP again:

Spoiler:

The Prism League

Welcome to the Prism League! The unique thing about this league is that it is divided into a Pokemon Showdown division and a 3DS division! There are 6 Gym Leaders, 4 Elite Members, and 1 Champion in each division. Not only that, but the league members (except the Champions) utilize two types instead of one! Do you think that you have what it takes to conquer the league and become the Champion? But before you challenge us, there are some rules you need to follow:

League Rules​

-Challengers must only use one team when taking on the league; no switching teams before each battle, and your team will be tracked in the thread; otherwise people will just use teams that have an advantage against the league member they're about to face.

-However, you are allowed to change your team's movesets, EVs, natures, and items at any time during the challenge.

-You do not have to defeat all of the Gym Leaders and all of the Elite members of both divisions in order to battle a Champion; just the Leaders and Elites of one division will suffice. You are welcome to challenge both divisions if you like, and can challenge the Leaders within a division in any order.

-All battles are 6v6, and the battle type (Singles, Doubles, etc) is determined by the league member you are facing.

-This league will be using most of Smogon's X/Y OU rules, which can be found here.

-All Pokemon on this list are banned from both divisions. Any challengers who use these Pokemon will be disqualified.


-All battles in the Showdown division will take place on PC's battle server.

-Dark Void is banned in all Double battles.

-Both league members and challengers must save all battle videos/Showdown replays and post them here so we can confirm a challenger's victory.

-If you lose, you must wait 24 hours to challenge that Leader/Elite/Champion. This is so we aren't flooded with rematches.

-In the event of a disconnect, attempt to battle again, unless it is clear who the winner was. Save the battle replay (if on Showdown) in case there is some sort of dispute. If playing on the 3DS division, take a picture of your PSS screen immediately after the battle ends as proof of who was the one to disconnect.

-This thread is strictly for signing up and recording your challenge progress. Discussions about the league itself go in this thread. PM, VM, or use other communication methods to set up matches with league members.

-Follow all the rules of the PokeCommunity.

​

Regarding League Positions​

The following can be grounds for a member of the league being replaced by another player in line to take a position within the league:

1) Being absent or failing to accept challenges from trainers facing the league for 2 weeks or more.
2) Losing 10 consecutive battles against different trainers challenging the league.
3) Losing 5 or more consecutive battles without getting a knock out on any opposing pokemon.


The following can be grounds for considering a challenger as a candidate for entering the league.

1) A successful challenge resulting in beating the Champion
2) Several different challenges with varying teams resulting in reaching the champion
3) Regular participation in the league, making challenges at least once a week
4) Successful substitutions for league members in cases of absence or league member challenges against the league.

All changes to the members must be discussed and agreed upon by several league members on both accounts of inducting new members or relieving standing ones.

[halcyonic]

lol showdown has three steel type league members

 

[AdamEternal]

I edited the OP again. Now the thing to fill out goes like this:

Spoiler:

Username:
In-Game Name:
Faction: (X/Y or Showdown)
Type 1:
Type 2:
Style: (Single, Double, Triple, Rotation)

We should start cataloging these.

 

[Cyclone]

Also, you guys are gonna need to pick yer types. Right now, the first types available are Grass and Electric. The second types currently available are Psychic, Normal, and Poison. Since there's four of you and only 2 primary types and 3 secondary types available, the list will reset with all types being available after the types are used up. The order for type picking will be:

1) Dialga
2) Lucky #13
3) Blue Cotton Candy
4) Kitsuki

So, Dialga, which will you choose for your first type: Grass or Electric?

I'm sorry to interject, but this seems like a punishment for those who signed up first. If someone else signed up before them, they'd have free reign of types.

I'd suggest have one of those five choices required for each remaining signee, and allow a second of anything with no duplication among those second choices. Otherwise it's actually a disadvantage for Lucky #13 and Blue Cotton Candy having one type mandated without any option (moreso for Lucky #13 having to pick two out of three), and Kitsuki basically gets any two of the 18 types desired. I think mandating a primary of the five available is better, and allow any secondary choice without duplication. The mandated choice can also be a secondary, but the point is four of those five must be represented.

Translation: Dialga can, for example, pick Poison and any other type (let's say Dragon). Lucky #13 can then pick anything except for Poison, and any secondary type EXCEPT what Dialga picks, meaning no Dragon. And so on.

The second choice can also be one of the five mandated types, but would only count for duplication in second column selection, meaning someone else can still pick it as a first choice.

Sound fair?

BTW, Steel, being tripled already, is not available for any further selections. That also seems fair.

EDIT: Lucky #13 also said he wants to pick types not yet represented. If he wants Grass and Poison, I'm all right with that. No matter what Dialga chooses, either of those options is still available as a first pick and the other as a second pick in either order by my suggestion. So I say if Lucky #13 doesn't want to change that, lock that in to save time and figure out the arranging in the type lists later.

Sure, that sounds fine. I'll edit those things in, and give Lucky Grass/Poison unless Dialga really wants one of those types or something.
and holy **** stop editing your posts so much, I got like 7 notifications all for this one post

Sorry. I used Preview, but it wasn't very effective. I've seen 8 notifications once for the same thing in another thread. I even got one for someone's post quoting me being deleted. That made me laugh.

And I'll point out again: Grass and Poison can be locked in for Lucky #13 if there is no other combination desired. With both Grass and Poison listed, even if Dialga chooses Grass first and Poison second, Lucky #13 can choose Poison first and Grass second. So it's safe to lock in.

EDIT: Of course, if Dialga picks those two types, Lucky #13 might want a different combination.

 

[Polar Spectrum]

So wait, which are we going with? We had brought this idea up a while ago, scrapped it, then brought it back.

I believe - we're going with challengers pick six, can't change Pokemon but can change moves items and builds *only* when switching formats. Leaders can change their teams freely but are type locked with no exceptions outside their 2 types.

I'mmmmmm gonna PM all those guys with options and see if I can get priority lists. This is getting pretty complicated lol

Also, if someone on showdown and someone on X/Y would be cool enough to trade a steel type to balance that a bit, that'd be cool :3 it doesn't NEED to happen but if it could, cool beans.
