^pretty sure 'she' is a he xD

Unless he's one of those weird people who puts the wrong gender on their profile xD

Haha I'm a guy =P

Tbh I think I've just got lucky predicting what pokemon people are going to bring. I'm not the most amazing battler by any stretch of the imagination, haha!

I thought so xD

And eh, you must still have had a fair bit of skill managing to beat two people that well, like if it was just luck you'd have only won by a little bit, not 6-0 and 5-0 xD

it was a typo, sorry :P

I was just curious as to if I'm still eligible to be the Flying type Gym Leader, I ask because I know I'm cutting it close to the two week cut-off, I've just been EXTREMELY BUSY trying to figure out what Pokemon to put on my team, actually getting the Pokemon, breeding for I.V.s and egg moves, etc. I AM available pretty much whenever and I do want to be a Gym Leader for this tourney and can completely commit to it, I've just been busy for reasons I stated above

[SaRo|Rapidash]

It's absolutely fine - the two week cut-off doesn't end for another couple of days anyway, so provided it's up by then you can still be gym leader! If you're really close to finishing it on the day of the cut-off, just put the half-a-thread up so I know you've started it and just edit the details in!

(If you weren't sure - the date is 15th January (I just checked myself xD))

[Richard and Blaziken]

You could just use pokemonshowdown.com. Every Gym is using that as at least one of the means for battle, and it's by far the more popular way, since it's easier to build teams and hold battles there.

[the bread dragon]

^seconding that, lots of the challengers havent been fortunate to get x or y, so showdown is really the way to go

[SenorSaucy]

ill be challenging all the gyms

[SirBlaziken]

Hold on there speedy. That may take a while with my laptop crisis and all. I wish you good luck, though.

Showdown is Smogon's simulator, correct? If so, do you guys and gals know what platforms it'll work on? I have internet(duh) but I don't have a computer at the moment, I've been getting on here from my Android phone, I also have a PS3 and Wii at my disposal if either of those will work

[the bread dragon]

yeah, showdown is smogons. it works on my android tablet, so id assume it would work on a  phone as well (so long as it isnt \too\ dated)

[Spriter]

Well, I have only one exam left and the weekend is upon us, so my gym is now OPEN again!

I know it works on iPhone - I've used it before - but I've not tried android, but I'd assume it works (after all, android phones are usually more powerful than iPhones just not as well designed and stylish)

[aMartini607]

Well, hopefully 2.3.4 isn't too old to be able to run it, because then my only medium will be in-game wi-fi, I hope it works though because then I can start taking challengers today(I already know my team just been making it) as my team isn't ready in-game yet, EXTREMELY close though and I'm sure there's gonna be some challengers that their only/most reliable option will be Showdown
Also I've been meaning to ask, as Leaders do we HAVE to have the SAME EXACT team for every battle, or are we allowed different set-ups, so long as we still follow our Gym's type? Basically so if say we find a couple Pokemon aren't working well or want to try different combos etc, things of that nature

You can change your team as much as you like between matches, even completely change every member. Mainly because you'll find that the same person will challenge your gym until they win, and if you can't change your team they'll easily beat it eventually by building a perfect counter to your team. So yeah, you can change it ^^
