I would say yes, since that would help members to improve while they challenge the Gym League. However, there is one issue that I guarantee will pop out once this is discussed in the Staff Board; is there commitment towards that board?
The PoTW and EV Guide need a lot of work, so who is ready to participate in these? Another issue is how to keep it active; one of the ways is to get newer members to the boards, so are you capable of that? My questions aren't directed to Reuniclus only, but to all of you who want this board. |

I remember talk of Reuniclus wanting to male the EV training guide. Me and Reuniclus had a good thing going last time with the PotW, but then I got a bit lazy. But if its going to be a (partially) big part of the forums, ill stay active on it

I'd enjoy having one. I like all the ideas that were listed, and I'm sure it'd be that one part of the forums that I visit more than others. And I'm pretty good at EV Training, I might be able to supply to the guide for that. Breeding... well, I know some tricks, but I don't really like it.

I support this 100%. I've been thinking we've needed something more than an RMT section for a while, but never really put that much effort into organizing those thoughts. This would be a great opportunity to be able to share how we structure our teams (I know a lot of people use Smogon as a base template, but I never found it before starting, so my teams are very unpredictable and quirky). Also, a place to put guides on competitive training and possibly basic strategy might be able to convert some people to semi-competitive or competitive, and grow the appeal for the site more. The only possible downside would be the crowds a dedicated competitive section could bring in, but we could cross that bridge if/when we come to it.

I'm going to be the odd one out and say that the sub-board really isn't necessary. While competitive battling is a large part of the community here, it's not large enough to keep a sub-board standing and have it see a lot of attention. Most of the threads that could be in the sub-board could simply be threads in Pokémon General because after the thread has been made and the intro post has stated what it set out to be, let's say the Egg Guide thread, it wouldn't see a lot of new posts relevant to being a guide to breeding. The posts that it will see will be people asking questions surrounding breeding, rather than helping the guide (that's mainly what happened with the old EV and IV Guide).
So if the Board is made, it will see plenty of activity within the first month or two, but after everyone makes a guide thread or RMT post, the board will not see a lot of activity afterwards. It would go down the same path that the old TCG board did only because nobody would have anything new to add after a few months. |

I have a proposal, which might work, but I still need to discuss it with Aura.
We can have open certain threads in the Gym League board, dedicated to competitive battling. These threads can include: a sticky thread where people can post their teams to be rated; a sticky threads where people can ask for tips regarding EV training, IV breeding and any other competitive-related topic; a sticky thread for PoTW. The list can include more of what you think is suitable. It is worth mentioning though, that Aura and I are quite busy, so we can create such threads, but we prefer to delegate monitoring them to few of you guys who are interested. |

I've always wondered why a competitive battling board didn't exist or is defunct in Victory Road, given how almost every other forum has at least a subsection for it. This might just pull in interested players and draw in new users for the forums, no?
Even though I'm not interested in it for the most part, I would be happy to see it reinstated. |

There was this board before, but nobody ever really seemed to use it besides clans.

For some sticky suggestions in the new board you could include links to guide for like EV training, and RNG. And also, the VGC Modified Format was updated recently to include the rules for the Spring '13 regionals (over at Nugget Bridge) if it hasn't already hit the official site.
