So, I've read the rules... It sounds like we're doing this over Nintendo Wi-fi Connection through Pokémon DP/Pt+HG/SS. I hope not. Then I won't get all the fun...
Oh well, if that's how you're doing it, I won't be a stick in the mud and say that you can't because of me. Hope you have fun, everyone. |

2) You can use less than 3 Pokémon, but that would discourage several members from participating in your gym. Why? Because most people are used to playing with 6 Pokémon, so they have competitive teams of 6 members, not 3. |

As to the Elite 4 part, the Elite 4 system has not been planned nor launched for the near future. We would like to initially start the current system successfully, then proceed to find new additions to it much later on. |

Quick question for me:
Why is the Species clause in effect? I mean, even though this is Gym Leaders, some Elite 4 have doubles of the same Pokémon. Why can't we have it, but put a restriction on it, like only two of the same Pokémon? |

Since these are gyms, just a though for the future, since in the game there are several trainers you have to beat to get to the gym leader mabye that could happen latter on.
Added:but limit it to the players who were previous leaders of the team possibly along with a limit of the number of people someone has to got through if this does come to pass So say someone loses their gym instead of becoming a regular trianer you have to defeat them to get to the leader just like in all the games.

I would like to make a request for a rule for all gym leaders: If a gym leader uses a pokemon that is not the type of their gym, said pokemon MUST know a move of said type. And no more than three of these pokemon. I don't want a "Electric" Gym being 2 electric types and a bunch of unrelated pokemon.

Ah, but that's not what I meant. I didn't say every pokemon should have to know a move of the type. I said any pokemon NOT OF THE GYM'S TYPE must know a move of the type. Therefore Gyrados would be fine with or without bounce.

From that rule it might cut off some of the other avialbe pokemon to help the team out. I don't see what the problem is if its one or two but only allowing 'diffrent' types to be part of the team because they can learn a move of that type for the gym seems little strange. I mean rock and ground go hand in hand ie Brocks Gym, and i figure that bug and grass are the same though i'm not sure if there is any bug types in a grass gym that weren't grass also

So, in conclusion, the 'cover' Pokémon have to be: 1) Covering your type's weakness. AND/OR 2) Acting as a wall. AND/OR 3) Laying hazards. AND/OR 4) Having a move of your type. They can, but they will not receives badges, and the results are not posted in the gym leader's thread. Take it as an unofficial, friendly match. (It's up to both of them if they want to give out prize Pokémon/item or not) Last edited by Shadow; March 13, 2010 at 04:18:57 AM. |

I'll post this here as well.
I'd like to see a rule in place where said challenger must use the same team for every gym. Not only would it test their ability to cover all types, but it would prevent teams built against the gym leader. I know there's the not all your pokemon types can go against the gym type, but you have move types as well. And abilities can hinder it as well. Ex: going up against the ground gym with 2 flyers and 4 levitators of different, non-super-effective-against-ground types. Last edited by Flare Soru; March 13, 2010 at 09:29:04 AM. |

The reason why I'd like this modification is because improvement to one's team is an essential part in developing his critical thinking. It is also fair for both ends of the spectrum: the gym leader and the member. What do you guys think? Should we implement this rule? If yes, then should we put a limit to it? (Example: Once a member defeats 5 gyms, he is allowed to change only 1 member of his team, etc) If you insist, you don't have to include any cover Pokémon. It depends on the gym leader's preference and need - we can't force everyone to do that. Last edited by Shadow; March 14, 2010 at 07:37:35 AM. |

I have a few questions:
1) I´ve read the rules and I didn´t find a rule that disables having other type than the Gym´s type. Does that mean leaders CAN use other completely other types too? (If it was that "covering your type´s weaknesses"-stuff, I might have misunderstood that. In that case I´m sorry to bother you.) 2) Are you supposed to be able to connect directly to internet from DS (not always having battles in PBR, that means)? |

This question made me think of something. We don't have a champion. shouldn't the champ be like this? =p I think instead of replacing one of the gym leaders if they beat all of them, they should become the champion instead and use whatever pokes they want. y/y? =w=

@ Pkmnmaster0603 That question was already covered, seems Shadow`s considering it for an official rule with allowance for Pokemon to be switched out after every certain number of battles.
@ Shadow: Sounds like an interesting idea, but the way it somewhat "limits" at team, it feels more like a rule to use in a tournament, where it`s a one-time sort of thing. Like for example, if there was a VR Gym League "Tournament" for the month of March, people would be able to challenge Gym Leaders, with said rule in effect, the one with the most at the end of the month wins. Where as the regular Gym League rules call for seperate battles, and some battles being completely optional, making this rule (in my opinion) feel too limiting to make each battle somewhat unique. I don`t disagree with the idea, I`m just saying that the applications of it could be both beneficial and hindering. Then again, it other people may have various views on it, so it`s probably wiser for me to just wait and see what other opinions come up xD |

Secondly, there's a difference between submitting an idea, and executing it. Thirdly, I never said I wouldn't want to discuss the future plans with you. Since I won't be releasing any sort of extension to the system until a bit later, we have plenty of time to work out our next idea. |

I did more then just mention the league. I've been with cat this whole way through, developing the league from scratch. You give ideas too, but your also the one to submit them too the public. Thats why im kinda envious of everyone giving you the questions instead of cat or me. Also I did, ask you to PM me before in a post only 5 comments back in this thread. You never replied back to share ideas or tell me whats going on. I was left in the dark. .-.
Cat has executed everything. Everything thought of from you and me was given to cat, not too each other. It can't continue like that. |

Woah, woah, this is getting a bit out of hand, here.
Okay, first things first. Shadow, Sunny has been involved in a bit of this from the beginning, so maybe if he wants to be let in on some information, let him. Sunny, it's great that you're trying to talk to Shadow about ideas, but in this circumstance, where it's begun to escalate (or at least I can see it evolving into something else), discuss it through PMs. Spirit, there's not really much to discuss even in the Mod board. You could've taken it to PMs too. Serenade, you misunderstood a bit. Moderators have a special board only certain people with permissions access where we discuss forum ideas. Guys, just chill a bit. Please? Thanks. |

@ Shadow I think the rule is easily implementable, but perhaps you should change it to every 3 battles. Given that there are 17 Gym Leaders, this would giive participants to eventually re-create their team if they`ve though of a more efficient overhaul. Of course, since they can modify teams over a rather extended period of time, it`s still important to make sure they don`t end up making an "Invincible Team" to battle a specific Gym Leader with in the process.

Alright, I believe it's time for me to step in on this. Both Sunny and Shadow discussed various ideas regarding the Gym League to me, both in private and with others. I think arguing about this is pointless. You both worked on it, sharing ideas, regardless of whether or not you knew how much the other put in. The least you could do is work together.

#65

You have to apply. All the types are taken currently so no one can become gym leader now unless someone drops out. Before you apply, I suggest reading about EVs and IVs. Another thing is that you have to have wi-fi.

I have a question, i mentioned in the application thread that if the Ice gym postion becomes available i would like the job. I was looking at the gym and he seems to have played to games as of yet, has he just not updated or inactive? It was back in March he posted, it's May soon. I really enjoy playing my Ice team and would love to have a go at the gym leader position.

I'll be working on the VRGL primarily to make it even better and more attractive. List of things that I plan to do:
-Proper implementation of the gym system (close contact with Cat needed) -Elimination of inactive gyms (suggestions from specific people, whom I intend to contact, needed) -Electing assistant helpers for the system. I have other, big projects in mind, but I will keep them secret for now. Further discussions need to take place before anything is executed. Last edited by Shadow; June 8, 2010 at 08:47:07 AM. |

Jirachi may resist a ton of stuff, but its weakness to both fire and ground are both very commonly used attack types in the metagame. Jirachi is incredibly versatile but all of its sets have counters, infernape I think can counter all of his sets fairly well. Celebi has one of the worst typings in the game. Grass psychic just nerfs his walling abilitys so much. Celebis versatile as well, but thats all jirachi and celebi are. There jacks of all trades, but nothing they do is so good that its ban worthy. Phione is just horrible. xD All its base stats are 80, and its movepool is very limited. Its still usable but its not a big enough threat to be too concerned about. As it currently stands right now black and white cannot be used to battle gym leaders, because not enough information is known about its wifi yet. I highly doubt black/white will be compatible with platinum/Diamond/pearl. If a gym leader does have black and white and allows the use of it, then yes it can be used.

If 4 are closed, then you have 6 to battle. Im sure the gym league will eventually PM inactive gym leaders about their extended period of time of their gym being closed sometime.

I am also getting annoyed now with you . Lite has banned you for a reason. Stop discussing it everywhere. A gym leader has the right to ban any challenger when a good reason is given, and he actually gave one. Regarding that 4 gyms are closed, I discussed it with Shadow, and we agreed to wait until the summer vacation is over, and then we can see about the gyms. Some gym leaders are on a vacation, so we must wait for them, and when they come back, we will see if they are going to open their gyms and when. All the GL staff agreed to keep the total number of gyms as 10 for reasons. When there are 17 gyms, there will be few challengers. With 10 gyms, there are more challengers. That's one of them. I would also like to ask you not to keep asking for becoming a gym leader. There are rules in this gym league, so please follow it. Applying for becoming a gym leader is currently closed. We will inform everyone if application to becoming a gym leader is open. Don't worry. Last edited by The Spirit of Time; August 11, 2010 at 01:38:14 AM. |

Just a heads up, Shoddy battle is good and all, but it is inaccurate PRNG wise- the chances for crits, misses, hits, the length of sleep, etc. etc. is off by quite a bit- I've tested it myself. If you want to, use it..
For that matter, all of these "online battle simulators" are not exactly the same as DS battling, as you simply type in the IVs, which, IMO we might as well just allow hacks. I breed/reset for IVs, and it gives an advantage to whoever tried hardest, as I know that others teams that haven't spent time on it have randomly good and bad IVs, which are suddenly made perfect by these programs. I guess you could put your IVs into the program, but hey, who can really check to make sure you don't cheat, right? I'd personally at least make sure DS battle is available, instead of, Pokemon (DISALLOWED) battles for all Last edited by Serenade; August 13, 2010 at 03:50:09 AM. |

As for the second part, I'd strongly recommend gym leaders not to allow battles using the Japanese B/W because of multiple reasons: -As Spirit said, little information is known about the games competitive-wise, and so we are still unaware of any major changes to the metagame. -I am certain that the changes to some abilities (like Sturdy) and to some moves (like Growth) will give an advantage to the player of B/W, which is unfair. -There's no confirmation yet as to whether B/W will be directly compatible with D/P/Pt/HG/SS or not.

As for the IV issue, the fairest way to settle this is for both players to input perfect IVs into all of their team members. To be honest, even with doing this, standard DS battles remain the fairest way for having a battle because everyone receives according to his/her personal effort. If you do not wish to use a simulator, then you can request the gym leader to have a standard battle, and I'm sure no one will refuse (as long as they do not have one of the excuses I mentioned earlier).

Ok I think I can answer that, thanks to some experience against my friend.
Latias, despite the fact has slightly less attack/sp. attack power than it's counter-part Latios, can easily be a major threat to any Pokemon in the OU tier thanks to it's high Sp. attack and Sp. defense. The biggest thing you have to worry about in a Latias is it using Calm Mind, and that is what my friends would always use - Calm minding Latias. With this very common set, people could easily set up a sweeper that can out speed almost every counter in OU and de-wall anything. I think that's why Latias is Uber, I could be wrong of course, but this is my guess. |
