The Heart and Soul League - Reborn

hey greene, i was wondering if youd be able to change my rules a bit. Take out the whole max amount of OUs thing, but instead say that there cant be pokemon with a stat total over 500 (that hurts me a bit as well, no more crobat venusaur, or tentacruel for me =T ), keeping the doubles rule of course.

I dunno that might be a bit too restricting =T, tell me what ya think though

That is one seriously amazingly epic rule you got over there. Make sure you mean Base stat though because people will be insane xD
That is a pretty testing rule greene, might even make his gym the hardest for people, I'd think about it before you make a decision

You don't even realize what you're banning. You're banning loads of NUs and UUs that really don't pose threats at all (Lickilicky, Shuckle, ect.) which is quite sad. The rules that I see lying around in these gyms are extremely awful. Sure you're at a type disadvantage, but you really shouldn't ban moves that aren't covered by a standard competitive clause. It just doesn't make sense. Learn to build a team that can counter common threats to your type, ect.

I literally had no difficult taking down pokemon with my team and I didn't ban a single move ever. I understand limiting OUs and the like, but that's about the only limiting rule that actually makes any sense at all. Learn to build a team if you want to play, otherwise, I wish you the best in attempting to get a battle with that rule. It's really, really awful.

I actually third this because a lot of pokemon are over 500 stats. And not all of them are actually good. Pokemon usable in the OU tier are more or less Scizor, Breloom, Forrey, Ninjask (lol), Skarm, and Smeargle >:
 
Yea lein I have to agree it is a bit silly and I'm going to have to deny.

P.S. @ Aero; there is no rule limiting moves, you must have misread mate.

P.S.2 @ Arcanist; that's the other half, not a friend, and no intrusion since I did post the pictures.

P.S.3 Why are so many people not even involved with the league lurking here???

Pursuit ban? Entry hazard bans? Weather bans?

No rules limiting moves. Ok. I've always been watching these threads to be honest. I take interest in the leagues for some reason. I used to be involved as well, both as a challenger as well as a leader. I want to challenge again when I get Wifi back up, but if stupid rules like that exist, I really don't want to challenge to be quite honest.

I apologize for my misconduct as well. I'm having mental breakdowns right now and I guess I just vented in a way.
 
You can ask ckn about his rules, the reason I ban Pursuit in my gym is simply because since I run a Rock gym so Sandstorm is bound to be used a lot and the Acid Rain glitch is activated in Sandstorm by using Pursuit, and that glitch is unfair to both sides, the opponent more often than not since most of my Pokemon are bulky and can last longer against the double damage done by weather every turn. And trust me, I only brought that rule in recently because the glitch had happened too many times and had often screwed me out of badges and also screwed a lot of challengers out of badges which I feel bad about. It's their solely to keep the fight clean; if it didn't give away my team I'd gladly tell opponents when I will and won't be using Sandstorm to allow the move but obviously this isn't practical.

I was just throwing the rule out there because i thought it had some potential. I didnt mean to make it solid as stone and i did say that it was restricting, so i wanted to find out how other people felt on it. I just wanted to try to make a different rule rather than just having the same limit on OUs that half the other leaders have.

O and BTW i dont have a problem beating back contenders with my current team... the champion and possible champ to be can vouch for me on that -.-

iirc you played 3v3 so isnt that bit hypocritical?


and i can vouch for leins ability as a gym leader
 
u do realize aero is pro right n u r not?

Just want to point out, this is not me. Lol, I find it hilarious, but I swear to all of you, it's not me. xD

I would have factually backed up responses to both Greene's and lein's posts, but I promised not to post here anymore until I start challenging. (I've been working on a team while my Wifi's been down :3)
 
So yeah, Phoenix whenever your on I would like my rematch...crazy Dc during my sweep...
 
God I hate idiot fanboys, especially ones that steal my avatars.

Anyway, hopefully his thread will go back to normal now, as the last two pages seem to have been endless and pointless rules debates, so I ask kindly that everybody involved and not involved in the league alike that we all try and keep to challenges, results, and league battle discussion from now on.

Alright then professor of medical sciences :)

Painter seems to be epic busy these days with school and whatnot so i hope to get him today
 
lol i was just challenged for my position
 
Just announcing that SCV has moved back to Steel (and will be staying there).
 
I have updated the OP with some clarifications to rules, and added SCV's banner. I've made the rule on challenging a bit more lax without giving grounds for challengers to be overbearing; hoping that with things a bit less strict that we can keep the conversation on topic with minimal reason for rules corrections.
 
Hey, I'm glad to hear everything is back to normal on this thread. Oh, yeah, and has everyone noticed that Regigigas has been changed from an Uber to an NU pokemon?

Yeah, your kinda late on that one, not to mention your off topic bro.
