Sorry. I definitely got a bit carried away there :p

If we do start the tourney today, we can always postpone your battles for when you're available.
But I'm still thinking: should we use our gym teams or our own custom teams for the tourney?

Well I thought the gym teams would be for those who wish to challenge the league and become champion. Gym teams could be used for the tourney as well if y'all want to. It all depends on what you decide.

I propose random teams. If we use our gym teams, it won't be as fun. ANd it shows adaptability to different play styles, as the Champion should have.

We should all have a say in this. What do you guys think we should use for the tourney and challenging the league in the future? Gym Teams or Custom Teams?

On one hand I think it would be fun to have Gym teams as our battle teams, but at the same time, I find it unfair due to typing. Custom Teams would be more fair.

Custom teams for the challenge because I don't think we should be using our gym teams at all timea, plus it'd be kinda fun going against a team you couldn't prepare for. Plus, that'd prevent some teams from getting kicked out early due to type disadvantage. Also, we should give each gym leader a random number and then make the bracket using a number generator to determine the match-ups.

Hmmm...

How about both? One tourney with gym teams, one tourney with customs teams? If the two victors are different, then we have one final battle with custom teams.

I was thinking of doing a season approach where one of us would battle the other three, and the person with the most wins is the victor. In case of a tie, we would also keep track of how many pokémon we lose in a battle.

Are the placements in the brackets going to be determined randomly?

The thing about monotype teams is that most of them have counters to what they are weak to showing that they have plenty of adaptability to most problems they face. The challenger can use whatever team they want but the gym leader should use their gym team when challenged in the league. For the tournament I would say use Gym teams so you know can test the strength of your team and how good it is against other teams and types of pokemon.

As a huge old-generations- fan i really like bulbasaur as my starter, but Chimchar is also really good. The reasons are that their final evolutions, Venusaur and Infernape are two of the best starter-evolution pokemon in the entire pokemon-universe. In competetive gameplay both of them have been in OU for several generations.

I suppose so. Okay so apparently my team doesn't work for anything because I made it for Balanced Hackmons and it got rejected there because "I didn't use all my IVs" whatever that means. Bah. I'll just use my gym team for everything, it would be useful to break it in.

We're probably doing a gym team first and then a custom team, to both test our teams and skill as a pokemon trainer. Also, I am currently making the tournament bracket.
