Project: Creating a Pokemon League

[Skip Shot]

Time to give Zeta a little bit of competition!

The Azure Frontier: Round 1
Elite 4 Member #3: Costa
Type: Water

Puzzle Description: The gym itself is a pool of water filled with several whirlpools and fast currents that you will have to navigate through. You will not require a Pokemon that uses Surf or Whirlpool, because as you enter the gym, a Blastoise will walk up to you and challenge you. Defeating the Blastoise will allow you to surf across the water and navigate through whirlpools. In the pool are three Pokemon- a Lapras, a Gyarados, and a Milotic. Defeating each of these Pokemon will result in some of the pool water being drained. When all of the pool water is drained, Costa will appear from a staircase at the end of the pool, and you will hop off the Blastoise. While there is still water, water polo balls will be shot out of cannons at the end of the room. They can skip all over the pool, so be careful! Getting hit will result in being knocked backwards two spaces!

Puzzle Map: Attached at the bottom of the file is the Puzzle Map.
A dark green rectangle indicates a door.
A turquoise rectangle with an arrow in it indicates a fast current in the direction of the arrow.
A light blue square is a whirlpool.
A dark blue square is Blastoise.
A purple square is a Special Pokemon that will take the water in its section (marked off with black lines) when defeated. This includes any currents and whirlpools in the area.
A black rectangle indicates a cannon that water polo balls will shoot out of until all three Special Pokemon are defeated. The water polo balls will make it impossible to reach Costa until they are no longer fired from the cannons.
Sky blue indicates normal water.

Elite Four Costa


Opening Speech: Welcome to my side of the pool, Trainer! I am Costa of the Elite Four. I myself have fought many tough battles underwater in my years of water polo. I have used the defensive skills I learned underwater and combined with the power that I have developed within myself to create an unstoppable force that is reflected by my Pokemon! I would love to see you attempt to stop it! The ball has dropped, (trainer name), and the game has begun!

Pokemon:

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*

*image removed*
Suicune @ Leftovers
Pressure- Level 84
Timid Nature- 120 HP/ 172 Spa/ 216 Spe

Calm Mind
Surf
Ice Beam
Hidden Power Electric

Team Strategy: This team relies on the power and resistances of bulky offense to get by. Swampert plays a vital role in getting Stealth Rock up for the rest of the team to sweep easier. Slowbro provides great tanking ability and can run through teams with his Calm Mind Set. He is back up with the immense power and status taking abilities of Collosoil, who is the surprise Pokemon for the team (it is a whale, so it can be of the water element, and its also in a Water egg group). Empoleon takes hits quite well for the team and can force problematic Pokemon out with Yawn. Suicune cleans up at the end with a semi-bulky Calm Mind sweeping set.

Defeat Dialogue: Looks like my team and I just couldn't punch through you near the end! A well played game indeed!

Closing Speech: I can see that your team has been trained very hard. That is the only way that you could have overcome my Pokemon and I. You truly played well in this pool. See if you can do the same in the next room.

The Azure Frontier: Round 2
Elite Four Member #3: Costa
Type: Water

(Note: The levels of the special Pokemon have all been raised by 15 for Round 2. None are catchable this round.)

Opening Speech: I'm glad that you could come back for a rematch, (trainer name)! Did you know how much water polo players like I love the rain? It keeps us cool and refreshed on hot days, and it means that the pool is heated on cold days! To my Pokemon and I, rain is the ultimate source of comfort. We are going to show you just how well we work in the rain! The ball has dropped! Let the game begin!

Pokemon:

*image removed*
Suicune @ Leftovers
Pressure- Level 103
Timid Nature- 120 HP/ 172 Spa/ 216 Spe

Calm Mind
Surf
Ice Beam
Hidden Power Electric

Team Strategy: This team plays more off an aggressive offensive style than the Round 1 team, but retains some bulk. It trades some stalling capabilities for offensive power under the rain, which is set up by Kyogre. Swampert and Collosoil retain their same jobs as in Round 1. The rest of the team consists of a balance of sweeping- Kabutops is the heavy-hitting physical sweeper, Palkia can hit from both sides of the spectrum with its powerful STAB attacks, and Suicune wraps up the game with a Calm Mind sweep.

Defeat Dialogue: To have been defeated by the same person twice must mean one thing- that person is truly better than me. Well done, and a great game!

Closing Speech: As a water polo player, I never experienced such a loss as the one you have handed me today, (trainer name). I must swim and meditate on this further. In the meantime, continue on in your pursuit to defeat the Azure Frontier!

[ddemetrius456]

It sounds really excellent. Make me completely pleased..

 

[Skip Shot]

Ok, the map for my Elite 4 Round 3 submission is up! Be sure to look at the file as well as the Puzzle Map section near the top of my submission post!

 

[Maci12]

I am so happy that this round has gotten more action than the last! There's still one more day of submissions, so get on it and get your gym in! I'll post my promised critiques of your Elite 4's in a couple hours, I have some RL things going on. Until then, keep them coming!

 

[SkyBlue]

I'm new here, but I have an E4 member for you guys.

The Azure Frontier: Round 1
Elite 4 #3: Kathryn​

Specializes in: Grass-types

Puzzle Description: The gym has a large area of tall grass in it, right before you confront Kathryn herself. Be careful, uncatchable wild Pokemon are in the tall grass, and a lot of them can use Mean Look! But, if you defeat the Sceptile, he'll let you catch him, and he'll be a very useful asset in the team. Oh, did I mention, grass spikes will shoot out periodically and damage the leader of your team by 2 HP?

Special Pokemon battles:

SCEPTILE Lv. 101
Overgrow
Focus Band

Frenzy Plant
Magical Leaf
Rest
Leaf Blade

Kathryn's appearance: Kathryn wears green to symbolize her bond with Grass-types. Her hair is styled into a bob (dyed green). She wears green shorts, a green T-shirt and dark green fingerless gloves. Her eyes are hazel, the only thing that can't be green other than her skin.

Elite Four Kathryn

Opening speech: Well, whaddaya know? A new Trainer! You've come to challenge me, probably. Me and my Pokemon are bored, so very bored of all these Trainers who lose so easily. Just because the previous fellow went down to you doesn't mean I'll go easy on you, because me and my Grass-types, we share a connection! That's why I wear green! Are you ready to taste the wrath of Grass?

Pokemon:

Exeggutor Lv. 100
Chlorophyll
Focus Sash

Seed Bomb
Leaf Storm
Giga Drain
Thief

Abomasnow Lv. 101
Snow Warning
Choice Scarf

Icy Wind
Double-Edge
SolarBeam
Giga Drain

Torterra Lv. 101
Overgrow
Leftovers

Grass Knot
Energy Ball
Giga Drain
Bullet Seed

Team Strategy: As you may have noticed, all three Pokemon have Giga Drain, which will suck out your Pokemon's energy and restore theirs. When the foe is weak enough, POW! Knock-out. Trust me, it won't be easy defeating Kathryn.

Defeat Dialogue: Aw, man! I was gonna make you taste the wrath of Grass-types, but you made me taste the wrath of your Pokemon! Well, it was worth it, I guess.

Final Words: I haven't been defeated like this in years! But I also haven't been rejuvenated like this in years, too! {Player}, you made me realize why I became a member of the Elite Four! The next room's harder than me, so you better start with what it is you non-Elite Four Trainers do. Sorry, it's been a long time, you know.

Azure Frontier: Round 2
Elite Four #3: Kathryn
Type: Grass​

(Note: Kathryn's done a bit of catching, so don't be surprised.)

Opening speech: Hey there, {Player}! It's been a long time since I felt the wrath of defeat on my tongue and the adrenaline rushing through my bones. You gave me the strength I needed to continue through the day. So, {Player}, bring it on!

Pokemon:

Exeggutor Lv. 101
Chlorophyll
Focus Sash

Seed Bomb
Leaf Storm
Sludge Bomb
SolarBeam

Torterra Lv. 103
Overgrow
Leftovers

Grass Knot
Energy Ball
Giga Drain
Rock Slide

Abomasnow Lv. 103
Snow Warning
Choice Scarf

Icy Wind
Wood Hammer
SolarBeam
Razor Leaf

Breloom Lv. 102
Effect Spore
Light Clay

Attract
Bullet Seed
Brick Break
SolarBeam

Team Strategy: Kathryn's sure pumped up her Pokemon this time around, adding a Grass/Fighting Pokemon to her team. She's also ditched the Giga Drain strategy for a more offensive strategy, with Torterra and Abomasnow having become the powerhouses of the team, and with Breloom having Attract (shame on you if you don't know what happens when you get hit with Attract), this team has just become a little harder.

Defeat Dialogue: I feel it again, that adrenaline coursing through my body!

Final Words: You've beaten me again, and proven your worth and all that jazz. But really, all I wanna say is thanks. After all, you've rejuvenated me, and showed me that despite all those boring old Trainers, I didn't need to become so over-confident because one day, someone would come along and give me the boost I needed. You're the one who did that! {Trainer}, better go and do your best in the next room! Wish you luck!

 

[Skip Shot]

SkyBlue, I would consider (actually more of a requirement) to change the typing of your team, since a Grass type Elite 4 was already chosen for Member 1 in the bold vote polls (Skip 3, Zeta 1). Also, when Maci says to use his level ranges, you should use them(the Round 1 range is way off for your submission). Competitively viable sets are sets that come from here usually: https://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/

 

[Maci12]

Reserved for comments. I'm really excited for this round!

Elite Four # - 3

Type- Rock

Round # 1​

Puzzle

Spoiler:

When you enter the first hallway, there are 3 Pokeballs. The First Pokeball contains a Golem. The second contains a Tyranitar. The third contains an Aggron. You are then told to choose one of the Pokeballs before you proceed to the next room. You give all of your Pokémon to a woman, present in this hallway.

If you choose Golem, you will enter a standard looking cave, covered in Rock-Smash able rocks. Your goal is to get the other end of the cave. However, there are wild Pokémon everywhere, and you must defeat them, if they don't allow you to run away, with Golem. Once you get to the other side, you may walk into the room containing Halle.

If you choose Tyranitar, you will enter a dark cave, covered in Rock Climb hill sections. Your goal is to get to the other end of the cave. However, there are wild Pokémon everywhere, and you must defeat them, if they don't allow you to run away, with Tyranitar. Once you get to the other side, you may walk into the room containing Halle.

If you choose Aggron, you will enter a cave with steel everywhere instead of ground, covered in steel blocks, movable by strength. Your goal is to get to the other end of the cave. However, there are wild Pokémon everywhere, and you must defeat them, if they don't allow you to run away, with Aggron. Once you get to the other side, you may walk into the room containing Halle.

Once you enter the cave, each Pokémon is equipped with the move Dig so that you may be able to escape from the cave if you get stuck.

Elite Four - Halle

Spoiler:

Appearence: Halle is an older woman, who looks to be in her mid-40's, with brown-gray hair and dark skin. She has a small build and is about 5'4, quite short.

Opening Speech: Hello, you must be the one who's made it this far in our Elite Four? Well, I assure you it was no easy mark. I am Halle; I train Rock-type Pokémon. You may have heard of my daughter, Roxanne? I have trained her well, and now, your journey through we Elite shall end!

Final Words: Go now, to the final Elite, and face (his/her) wrath! They will be the hardest of us Elite to beat, so a recommendation: Heal your Pokémon.

Team Strategy

Spoiler:

Most of Halle's team during Round 1 relies on Defense, and wearing the challenger down. She also prefers unique moves on some of her Pokémon, such as her Golem's Fire and Thunder Punch and Relicanth's Head Smash. She also will send out Tyranitar frequently to keep the Sandstorm continuing.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Aerodactyl- Halle's Aerodactyl relies on its speed and offensive power. During this round, it focuses on exploiting any weaknesses its opponents might have, with a wide range of moves. Aerodactyl is always her lead Pokémon, and she rarely returns it i.e. it will be knocked out before she withdraws it, unless forced otherwise.

"image removed"Magcargo- Halle's Magcargo is used as a physical wall with Light Screen support. As her entire goal is, Magcargo is used to wear the opposition down. However, due to Magcargo's many weaknesses, she usually uses this Pokémon as her second or third out, unless prompted to do otherwise by a type advantage of a remaining Pokémon.

"image removed"Relicanth- Halle's Relicanth is usually one of the last Pokémon she will send out, unless prompted to do otherwise by a type advantage. Her Relicanth has amazing defense, and powerful attacks, but is slow. Relicanth usually uses Head Smash as its main attack.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Tyranitar- Halle's Tyranitar, in Round One, is a Dragon Dancer. It will use Dragon Dance about two to four times and then attack. Tyranitar uses Thunder Wave first, unless the Pokémon it is facing is weak.

"image removed"Golem- Halle's Golem is unique in its elemental punches. Golem usually uses them more than Earthquake and Stone Edge. Halle's Golem is unique in the fact that it does not have Explosion, which will be anticipated by most trainers.

Round # 2​

Elite Four – Halle

Spoiler:

Opening Speech: Hello (Players name), I've been waiting for you to challenge the Elite again. In anticipation of your arrival, I have trained much in (Name of a major mountain in the game), and have realized a new focus, realizing this has shown me how to defeat you this time!

Aerodactyl
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*

Ability: Pressure
Item: Smooth Rock
Nature: Jolly – 252 Attack/ 252 Speed/ 6 HP

Ability: Battle Armor
Item: Scope Lens
Nature: Naughty – 255 Attack/ 252 Speed/ 3 HP

Level: 101
Ability: Solid Rock
Item: Lagging Tail
Nature: Brave – 255 Attack/ 129 Defense/ 126 Special Defense

- Payback
- Avalanche
- Hammer Arm
- Stone Edge

Closing Speech: Well (Players name), I have judged you wrong. You truly are one of the best trainers I have battled with.

Final Words: Go onward to the final Elite, and face you destiny as Reigning Champion!

Team Strategy

Spoiler:

Her overall strategy remains the same; however, her Pokémon's strategies have changed.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Aerodactyl- Hasn't changed its strategy, but replaced Aerial Ace with Taunt, in anticipation of stat-boosting moves. Halle will now recall Aerodactyl, but it is still her lead. She considers Aerodactyl her main sweeping Pokémon.

"image removed"Armaldo- The main powerhouse of her team, Armaldo will not be frequently switched out, but she will use her potions on Armaldo the most. Armaldo usually uses Cross Poison as its main attack, in hopes of poisoning the opposition.

"image removed"Relicanth- Relicanth does not change its strategy as a Physical Wall, but now uses Explosion before it realizes it will die. This plays well with its Focus Band.

"image removed"Lunatone- Halle uses her Lunatone as a special attacker. Lunatone will occasionally use Signal Beam, until its foe is confused. Realizing its weaknesses are usually Special attack, it will use Calm Mind frequently.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Tyranitar- Her Tyranitar no longer Dragon Dances, but is now frequently switched out, to ensure a steady sandstorm during the battle. The Tyranitar's Thunder Wave and Dragon Dance have been replaced in favor of Fire Punch and Aqua Tail respectively, in order to gain massive type-coverage.

"image removed"Ryhperior- Halle's Ryhperior relies on being attacked first. Realizing Ryhperior will never move first, Halle's Ryhperior will use Hammer Arm and Avalanche occasionally. Ryhperior is Halle's fall back Pokémon, which she will usually send out last.

I really am sorry about the formatting with the bold thing, but it will take me like an hour to fix all of it...I spent two weeks creating this thing, so please do disregard it...I know the formatting is terrible though...

Oops...could someone please delete my post? I don't know how to.

Comments

Skip Shot - You know the drill: amazing work, great formatting, progression, etc. I do have a comment for your overall formatting though: work on the Bold / Underlined formatting, as by using flares of it, you make it 100x more readable. I enjoyed seeing how you took my advice about the "exception pokemon" However, I find your E4 Round 1 battle to very similar to your Casey Round 2 battle. Maybe make a switch out of Empoleon / Arghonaut Thank you for giving us one of the most competitive E4s so far.

Zeta Dimentio - In - Cred - I - Ble. What an awesome Elite 4; I would totally love playing through it. All your formatting is perfect, progression is well done, and you stayed consistent with the theme. I like how you also used the "exception pokemon" (Flygon), & the pokemon who could be seen as one of the types (Latias). It is very competitively viable, and a thoroughly enjoyable E4. Great work!

Skyblue - Thank you so much for being a new face in this project! However, there are some things you need to work on. Formatting wise its perfect; keep it like that. However, your Round 1 battle needs 5 Pokemon; not 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6, and your Round 2 battle needs 6 pokemon. Also, the competitive viability of your E4 submission could be improved upon, visit www.smogon.com to find some competitive sets for each pokemon =). The other problem is that we already have a Grass type E4, so we can't use that one. I'm sorry =/. HOWEVER, I want to see you come back with vengeance in the next round, I think you have the potential to be a winner.

SethMetal37 - Great job this round. Everything is perfect except for the bolding, and I understand what happened there: its happened to me too many times. Excellent work, the only thing I would reccommend would be to use Tyranitar as your lead, as the whole team benefits from it. I'm also questioning the competitive viability of Relicanth. Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for submitting this round =)

BY FAR THE BEST E4 ROUND SO FAR. POLL WILL BE UP LATER TODAY

Skip Shot - You know the drill: amazing work, great formatting, progression, etc. I do have a comment for your overall formatting though: work on the Bold / Underlined formatting, as by using flares of it, you make it 100x more readable. I enjoyed seeing how you took my advice about the "exception pokemon" However, I find your E4 Round 1 battle to very similar to your Casey Round 2 battle. Maybe make a switch out of Empoleon / Arghonaut Thank you for giving us one of the most competitive E4s so far.

With the Bold/Underlined, would you prefer I took some of the Bold out, or add some underlining in, and where would you prefer it?

Oooh, looking back, the two teams are quite similar. Both have Pert, Arghonaut, and Empoleon. I think that Pert is very important for Costa's team, so that needs to stay. Arghonaut will probably leave, because Empoleon and Suicune are the only two special sweeping Pokemon on my team, and I don't want to sacrifice balance on the offensive spectrum. I'll replace Arghonaut with a Calm Mind Slowbro later today. The changes will be up some time this afternoon.

Too bad I couldnt find time to squeeze a gym in this round! Who won the last, me or Skip Shot? Last time I checked the vote was tied.

I thought I put that she frequently switches between to Tyranitar but maybe not and with Relicanth, nobody expects it. Plus I didn't want to overuse the fossil pokemon

Maci makes the final decision because it was tied.

Hey everyone! Round 12: Elite 4 (3) was fantastic. If we got that many submissions of that quality every round, I would be soooooooooooo happy. Just for that reason, I am giving you four days on Round 13: Elite 4 (4). Remember, I will be entering this Round as well, so in order to be unbias, the poll in Round 13 will include everyone who submitted, which means there will most likely be two.

That being said ROUND 13: ELITE 4 (4) IS OPEN!!!!!

Remember to keep these things in mind:

Where to Find Information

====================================================================

I require pictures & comptitive movesets in the Elite 4. Any post that lacks either of these will not be counted. Here is where you can find pictures:​

Sprites

*pokemonelite2000 link removed* - This is the site I use for most pictures: you can get them quite fast.​

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page - Bulbapedia is great for a wide variety of things. You also get access to HG/SS on this site, which you cannot do on the first site.

Competitive Movesets

www.smogon.com - Easy, quick access to competetive movesets. Search the pokemon's name and look for a movest that fits the team.

www.serebii.com - If the pokemon has been featured under Pokemon of the Day, you can get competetive movesets about them.

Obviously, there are also competitive movesets to be found on Pokecommunity.

NOTE: I am not advertising these sites, I am providing links to them as they provide information that is relevant to what I am asking of people during the Elite 4 rounds.

ALSO, I would love to see people go beyond the slate if they can, do whatever you can think of. All of the gyms that were selected went above and beyond in some way, so think of a way you can.

As a final note, please remember that this is Round 4, so everyone will be doing their best work here. Be creative, go overboard, and have a lot of fun! After this round, we will get into the Rivals, and they are a lot of fun to make =)


Here is the (late) poll:


Skip Shot -

SethMetal37 -

Zeta Dimentio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 -​

​

All the submissions were great this round. It came down to formatting, and if you followed level ranges / pokemon amounts. I look forward to a fantastic Elite 4 (4) Round!!!

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

Edit- lol, that's pretty funny. It's fine Maci12.

With that, I vote for myself. Zeta Dimentio. Since I really like the team, but like I said, I was testing the waters with that team, and I just slapped together a puzzle. I'll make sure the next entry is better.

 

[Maci12]

Umm HOLY **** I FORGOT TO PUT ZETA DIMENTIO IN! YOUR ELITE 4 WAS MY FAVORITE! Yeah, I rectified that immediately, sorrry!!! I put Eos Aduro in, and he didn't even submit this round =P

 

[SethMetal37]

I am gonna vote for myself, SethMetal37, because I like my E4 the best. Also, this will likely be my last entry, I might try to do the rivals, but I am gonna be pretty busy like all the time now. I'll still get on and look at these though, and vote.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Well thanks for thinking of me anyways Maci :P! I WILL get a round in this time, not immediately though, I have a 70 page social booklet.

I'm not sure who to vote for, because the last round isn't decided yet! If I won Round 2, I would vote for SethMetal, and if Skip Shot won, I would vote for Zeta!! I cant decide!!

 

[Skip Shot]

I'm pretty much torn between my own Elite 4 and SethMetal's. SethMetal brought in one of the greatest puzzle concepts to date, and it will be hard to match that. I'm not to keen on the competitive viableness of his sets, however. I'll do something similar to Eos: If my Elite 4 Round 2 is picked, I will vote for my own, and if Eos wins, SethMetal will get my vote.

So we have 4 days... that gives me till the day before Thanksgiving (yay 16th bday) to do this. Time to get cranking!!
