Gym League's Feedback & Response Board http://victoryroad.net/attachment.ph...1&d=1345314393 This thread can be used by a gym leader, challenger or any member who is interested in this league. The purpose of this thread is to allow the ones mentioned above to post any inquiry they have, or an issue they want to resolve. These questions, or issues, will be replied to by either The Spirit of Time or AuraKshatriya. Do not hesitate to ask. -The Gym League Administration |
I'll be the first. If Drizzle+Swift Swim is banned, should Drought+Chlorophyll be banned as well? Sand Stream+Sand Rush?
|
Quote:
The Pokémon with Chlorophyll are not OU and are not powerful enough to posses a threat, not to mention that there are few of them. Similarly, those with the ability Sand Rush and are powerful, like Excadler, have been banished to Uber tier, leaving the less powerful ones available. However, none of the Swift Swimmers are Uber, but when combined with Drizzle, they become extremely strong and almost unstoppable. Therefore, you can still use their abilities but with Rain Dance, or use Drizzle, but without any Swift Swimmer. |
You said on the Self KO Clause that recoil moves are different. So, if I use Double-Edge, and KO someone's last Pokémon, but the recoil KO's my last Pokémon, who wins?
|
Quote:
|
This question might be a little obvious, but is the item clause applied to the league?

And questions, for maximum clarity, you do not apply for it, you are chosen?
|
So when you guys finish with the gym league do we have to do the rule where if when we become gym leaders, do we have to have 3 pokemon of the gyms type on our team?

I hate to be the guy to ask stupid questions, but since I wasn't really involved in the Gym League before, if I or someone else were to become a gym leader, could we challenge other gym leaders?
|
Quote:
|
Will there be competitions or something like that if there is more than 1 person that wants to be the same type of gym leader?
|
Quote:
|
Are Shiny Raikou, Entei, and Suicune (Event) allowed?
|
Quote:
|
Does the Evasion Clause work both ways? I know it works on moves that raise evasion (i.e. Double Team), but what about moves that lower accuracy (i.e. Sand-attack)?
|
I was thinking about this a while ago, but do you think challengers should face the gym leaders in order? Starting with Gym #1 and progressing to Gym #8?
|
I was woundering if any pokemon from 647-649 be used when there released? Like right now keldeo is OU and number 648 (Forgot its name) be used as its released now. I know genesect isnt out till like a month so.

What if they're Japan-only events and you somehow obtain them via Japanese friend or Japanese game?

I would just like to say, that it is going to be really hard making the team perfect, because it isn't on ******* ******. And god (or whatever you choose to worship) knows that anyone who uses ******* will be caught. So now I have even more on my plate before I apply.
|
Quote:
|
Thanks.
And I must I cant find this, but after you have applied, how long do you get to make a team after you apply? |

I've noticed that we're using Smogon's Uber tier list.
I do not suggest you guys going ahead with that. The tier list, as I put it, is created in a vacuum - a vacuum where everything is perfect and designed to be ridiculously over optimized, without bothering to check whether it's actually easy to obtain the desired Pokémon. When you obtain something within the real game, you'll have noticed that it's way, way more difficult that expected to achieve the same result, especially for newcomers and casual battlers who don't really care about the competitive scene. The result? The tier list is skewed to the point where it could be argued that it starts to make no sense. I've had my share of myself having a tough time even with the lower-end of these Pokémon. |
Quote:
The second thing is that I disagree with you when you say that the Uber list was chosen from "vacuum." I followed their procedures when they were choosing the Uber list, and it was done by a huge number of elitists voting after trials for multiple rounds. The third issue is that Smogon is the primary site for battling, and it would be a hassle if we decide to start using multiple references. Nevertheless, I understand your point. How about telling us what Pokémon you want to discuss its legitimacy? We can see discuss it and if things are reasonable, we might make some Pokémon usable. |
Quote:
Huge number of elitists, yes, but if all are done in ideal conditions, the point is somewhat moot. Seeing as this league is Wi-Fi only... |
Quote:
|
You think maybe we can have a small thread about what pokemon we should look at to that is legitimacy or something?

I was reading the gym rules about the sleep cause and i was woundering if at some point if any one used relic song on a pokemon and it falls asleep, what happens then? Does that mean relic song cant be used anymore till the pokemon faints or wakes up?
|
Quote:
At that time, Blizzard had a high chance of freezing a Pokémon. If a battle had a freeze clause (which we don't in the league) as a rule, and a Pokémon is already frozen, you can still use Blizzard, but if Blizzard freezes another Pokémon, then you automatically forfeit the game. Comparing Relic Song to this, we can say that if a Pokémon is already asleep, you can still use the move, but you are risking a 10% chance of losing the game, if Relic Song puts a Pokémon to sleep. Of course, if a Pokémon was asleep due to Rest, and Relic Song induces another to sleep too, then you don't lose. This is the rule for now. We will discuss it further, and if we need to change it, then we will inform everyone. We have a couple of months before battling starts, so we have time. Thanks for bring up such an important matter. We totally forgot about it. |
Your welcome, i just thought it was the right time to ask about that ahead of time.
|
Lets say one of the GL staff wanted to become a leader. Do they get any better chances at becoming one since they choose? Just a question on fairness

However, we still have the right to challenge them if we want to. |
oh okay, thanks I was just curious.

I will have to drop out of the race. I noticed that I do not have the ability to use Tutors. Also I have too much to do, like be the artist for this place, and the school, and my LIFE! So this isn't working for me.... Good luck to the people that are still in it! I will challenge you sometime!

Well like I said, I dont have enough resources and I am too nice to use an Action Replay. So yeah. But I am always available for things like the badges and such.
Also, I would like to ask. Can people who applied submit a badge ahead of time, just so I can work on it. Because I want to make them perfect and that takes time. And I wouldn't mind if they just sent it to me now. |
I was woundering after i did my thing to be a gym leader (On the application thread) When do i have to submit my team by and do i have to submit a team now? I know that spirit of time is the one i have to submit my team too so i dont need that said.

But that is the thing, I want to have more to practice on. Like if there are extra, I wont care at all. NONE! I would do mugshots later. And I understand the process >.> I KNOW THERE ARE 8 LEADERS :D. But anyways, I want to be able to get it down. So it wouldn't hurt anything.

Okay, Well, everyone should start PMing me!

Please note that a new criterion being added to the application process, which is as follows:

Guys, you can do the draft in Paint. It doesn't have to be perfect, or even nice. What teamplasma requires is the basic structure and he can recreate it, to match the requirements.
|
Can it be a draft with pencil and paper or does it have to be on MS Paint?
|
Quote:
|
You can provide a pencil drawn picture of the badge. And no, for the time being, there is no deadline.
|
Heck i cant even come up with a name right now. I do have a old badge back when we did the whole pokezam forum, but the badge was ment for a darkness gym not a dragon gym. And can we use the same name of a badge? Like for example we could use the legend badge's name or not?
|
Quote:
|
Has the name "Epic" Been used in a badge name yet? I would like to have that and something else wih it, but first i need to know. Then i can easliy make a draft sketched
|
Quote:
|
Cool.....Now to come up with something to go with the name???? *Goes and thinks in chair*
|
Are the Gym badges going to look simuler to Gen V badges or Gen <4 badges?
|

I think she the design. Like in Gen 5 the badges were thin and golden. But the ones before where something that could be it in a square and were silver. They will be a 35x35 silver and black outlined style badge.
They will look like this... (This is also Turt's Badge [if turt doesn't mind it]) Attachment 3266 EDIT: That isn't completely finished. |
WHAA?! How is his sooo good!? O_O lol, I love mine though :D Nice and simple ^^, me and plaz call it the "Phantom Badge" :P
|
Once the 8 gym leaders are chosen and their badges have been finalised, we will have a thread, which displays all the badges. You can then comment on them there.
|
Will we each have our own Gym Leader thread? (Don't know if anyone has asked this yet or if it was used at the last Gym League)

Can the badge be named after the User? My badge is planning to be called the Phantom Badge... Is that okay? |

But I promise it will, once you actually send me something. |
Okay. So I was always interested in things like this, even creating my own (though never succeeded). As such, I am interested in this as well. However, I have a few things I'd like to clarify:
1> I've been having slight trouble with my internet connection lately (a little more than lately). I was told that Black & White are suppose to be compatible with WPA/WPA2, which I've tested with, and work. But, I seem to have problems connecting with specific people (via the Wi-Fi Club), and my Game Sync. I have no problems (usually) with the Random Matchup and such, including Mystery Gift. Interestingly, I still have these problems while using WEP. If you could help (because I don't feel like spamming up this thread), please send me a message! ~Thank you~ [Oh, and I'm using a Belkin router, if that helps... And have attempted most of Nintendo's 'suggestions'...] 2> When will the opening date of the Gyms be? And how often do we have to be open? I know - reasonable times; but I mean like set time-wise, and how many hours/days at the least... 3> Does the badge have to be ours, like fully created by us? As I'm usually on my 3DS, I cannot necessarily make my own unless I get on a computer (like now; rarely). Could we have someone we know create the badge for us? 4> When challengers, you know, challenge us, are they restricted to the amount of Pokemon we have? Example: if we have 4 Pokemon, are they limited to 4, or could they go lower or higher than 4? 5> What is the time frame for preparing a team? Since others are technically able to take your spot on the type list, you'd have to have some extra time. 6> Haven't found anything on this just yet, but can you connect Black/White 2 with Black/White? Okay... So I'm pretty sure that's all the questions I have... Until I have more (or get a reply on these), I will patiently create a team... ^-^' |

@ AuraKshatriya:
Okay. Thanks for the help... I will probably end up making a thread on the issue (since that'll be easier for multiple inputs on the situation)... And, I have read the rules already; I just didn't happen to see those pointed out (at least I'm sure I didn't)... ^-^' |
Quote:
The only thing that I want to add on what Aura said is that the Gym Leaders will be announced before the League is open, thus giving time for the leaders to prepare themselves. Another thing is that the League will not open prior the release of Black 2/White 2, and there will be a time duration between the release and the opening of the League, in order to give time for the leaders to play the game, and if necessary prepare their teams there. Therefore, you can expect the League to open around November. This also gives us time to evaluate the activity of the members. If we happen to choose a gym leader this August, but he remains inactive throughout September and October, then you can expect us to revoke his position and choose someone else. Another thing I want to clarify is regarding how often your gym should be open. The gym should be open the whole time, even if you are offline. Challengers declare they want to battle with you, and then you can organise with them the perfect time for battling. Of course, there are times when you need to close your gym, like when you have exams for example. In that case, we will soon provide everyone with rules, one of them gives details about how long you can close your gym. |
The Spirit of Time:
Okay. Thanks for the extra details. I'll anxiously look forward to any others that are added. ^-^ I'm also glad about the time frame for preparation. It'll hopefully give me enough time to figure out what's going on with my router. And, because I've pre-ordered my copy of Black 2, I shouldn't have any problems training in that game, with the semi-few advantages it can have with training... As for an application from me: I'm currently making a team list, and should have one ready for you by later (going to bed now); and as for the badge, I have that ready (just not a name yet). |
Quote:
|
Alright. I will not forget. I already have it transparent, and will upload it later so I may send it over.
Seeing the example, I'm hoping it'll be okay... (No worries; I should be able to make another before application closing.) |
If you have read my signature, then you should know I've lost ALL my files off of my computer last night... Please, all applicants for the League, send me your badge via PM so that I will have them again. I have found a few, but there are still those which have been lost. Thanks
|
I can't.. I never saved it >_>
|
Quote:
|
Oh yup, thanks! I got it
|
Be sure to look everywhere when you're trying to find your badges. I found mine in a PM Plaz sent me, but if you happened to delete that, you'll probably be able to find it in your History. In essence, leave no stone unturned.
|
Like I said I have found a few. Oddly enough a few things did last my weird laptop meltdown... My Fl Studio, Battle Sim, and my HGSS Guide. I found a few in my PMs as well. So don't make it too urgent in your agenda. Just do it when you can please.
|
Mine is in my album here in my profile, as i used that to upload the image to here.
|
You can also find your badges in the Sent messages of your PMs.
|
Thanks, Kakashi. I think I found all but ~Whimsicott~'s. So if by chance I never even sent that one/it is gone then I will make it again. But I know I finished the draft.
|
Then i'll find the one u sent me that u finished and i'l see if the reply one still has mine.

I can't help voicing my interest for this project, but I do have two current questions about details concerning Gym leaders- scanning through this thread, I haven't seen them be asked before (at least I think not- so if they have, I apologise in advance)- so, I shall ask;
Question One: Is it possible to use differing movesets for the same Pokémon? What I mean by this is that if an accepted Gym leader has a set team as agreed, could they swap movesets / nature around so long as the Pokémon remained the same species, gender, etc? So if someone had, let's say for sheer example, a physical attacker Nidoking, but wanted to switch it into a special attacker Nidoking, could they do so as they wished? Question Two: Once a gym leader has been accepted and time has passed, are there times when they might be able to adjust their teams if they feel the need to do so? Like if one of their team wasn't preforming well, or they just wanted to try a different option or style? I look forward to your answers. |
I thought that the teams were 3 or more, but you must have 6. Is that an error or a rule change?
|
Quote:
Example, my team is ghost. It would be something like this: Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon, GHOST pokemon, GHOST pokemon, GHOST pokemon. |
Oh, Looks like i have team full of Ice-Types :| lol
|
Quote:
As for roster changes, those along with large-scale moveset changes will likely only be possible at certain times Spirit and I will stagger ourselves. We haven't finalized the specifics of it, but I imagine both will be possible. Also, if you do intend to submit a team, don't forget that you have until the end of tomorrow, the 30th (based on GMT) to submit it to Spirit via PM (including movesets, items, EVs, and obviously Pokemon), along with declaring your type in the application thread. |
Quote:
As for Paradox's query, as Aura replied, yes both are allowed, but a gym leader will have to inform me and Aura via a PM of any changes. |
I think i'll keep my Team as it is, I used to have WiFi battles with my friends on D/P where we chose a single type and stuck to it. I always used Ice types, so i'm used to using them
|
I have yet to see this question asked:
When do you think the Gym Leaders will be chosen? I don't mean the exact date, just a rough estimate |
Quote:
Quote:
|
So is all the badges in then? did team plasma get all the ones that where missng from is computer yet?
|
Yup. I did. And whenever all the people get the drafts in, I can be done.
|
All times are GMT -8. |
