I don't know how long I'll be back, but I just thought I'd stop in and say hi, at least.

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.

Charizard begs to differ :p

A tournament can't allow 5 it has to be in multiples of 4 I think. Somebody correct me on this cause I think I'm wrong.

I changed it to fit Deros. Now we should be able to decide our elite four and champion with the five we have.

So, is this setup going to be used for both tournaments? Are we doing both simultaneously or one at a time?

Yep. All five winnera from their gym team will advance to the custom team round, and their records will be added together, with the tiebreaker being H-2-H record, and number of pokemon left at end on a team.

I won't be available for a while today. I've got Real-Life responsibilities and all that. I'll let you guys know when I can do things.

So... who wants to battle me first? Should I make an actual schedule for the league? Also, this is the one with gym teams, right?

That's fine usually people live in different time zones and are generally unavailable on here. The battles can take place whenever between the two opponents as long as the result is posted on here and confirmed by both players and if possible link the replay here so we can see.

Replays will be the method used to confirm winners. I'll have a post reserved just for match replays.

You face everyone once, so just get every match you can in. And yes, use your gym teams first.

Indeed. That way we can determine strength of gym teams and skill as a trainer.

I already have a custom team that I like to use, but I'm trying to make a poison type team if I ever apply for gym leader. I currently can't get access on Showdown since I'm using a school device.

Are mega's allowed on custom teams?
