PKMN.net League Challenge (Take 2) - Challenger's sign up her first

[JSM]

I'll still be going with flying type, and it's going to be awesome

[kindtocrows]

I'll still likely go with ghost, though I am having problems making a team... in retrospect, picking the rarest type was probably a bad idea. Still going with it though.

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Okay, so we've got:

Richard - Fire
Spriter - Water
bread - Psychic
JSM - Flying
dragoncat - Ghost

That's quite a nice mix of types, should be interesting to see how each of your teams turn out ^^

[Spriter]

Right, me and bread are done! Battles went:

6-0 (me)
4-0 (me)
3-0 (me)

Despite the scores, they were fun battles. Bread definitely improved as we continued on though, should be able to do well in the league! Thanks for the battles. Got no replays this time, woops.

[Hahex and Oshawott]

I'll be taking Fire, contrary to what I had previously decided. All your progress will be burnt to ashes when you lose to me! >=D

loving the new champion outfit there, Rich. Doesn't look ridiculous at all xD no but fo'real that's pretty neat

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Okay the league rankings are:

Richard - Champion

Then, the elite four in order of how well they performed (as a GUIDELINE to challengers, not a mandatory order):

JSM - 3 out of 4 matches won
Spriter - 2 out of 4 matches won
dragoncat - 1 out of 4 matches won
bread - 0 out of 4 matches won

Given that the worst now was like third best in the last challenge, I think this one should be much harder. I'll have the league thread guidelines posted real soon (either later tonight or sometime tomorrow) and once they're all posted and checked I'll post the challenger form. For challengers, you have to sign up here before challenging anyone, but that'll be mentioned again when I post challenger rules.

Edit: Finished the template for the thread, I think I got everything but let me know if I missed something:

Rules

Should be in bullet points, with the following information in this order:
-> Format (Doubles, Singles etc.)
-> Clauses, each listed individually with a brief description (copy from my post of the battle for champion rules, if you wish)
-> Any personal rules (e.g. 'Rematches allowed daily and no more')

Banlist

Fully banlist, but avoid banning Pokémon where possible (ban Kangakhanite > Kangaskhan, ban Gale Wings > Talonflame). Please write this out, don't link to Smogon, but an alphabetised list can be found on the battle for champion post, although it has a couple of extras.

Information

Bullet points again, please list the following, although most of it can be cut and pasted from your application forms (again, in this order):
-> Showdown Name
-> Ingame Availability?
-> Availabilty (in GMT, please. If this varies, try and update it when possible)
-> Other Information you want to add

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Okay - just a few things:

Could bread and dragoncat please try and get their threads up ASAP, as I can't let people challenge until then.

Second, I don't think I made this clear, but challenges should not be being made until the challenger form is up, sorry for any confusion but all challengers will have to sign up here first ^^

[the bread dragon]

damn sorry, I completely forgot ngl >_< ill put that up haha

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Okay, challengers are now allowed to start after they've read the first post and put their challenger form in this thread ^^

bread has brought to my attention that when members need time off (as he will soon) nothing has been planned on what to do to cover for them, so I'll put a poll up now with what I believe to be the options.

[Delicious_Scout]

Name: In Showdown it is Nick from L4D2
In-Game Too?: I use so many Pokémon I heavily doubt I have exactly the same team on both versions.
Available Times: From 14:00GMT to 23:00GMT
Constants: Hydreigon and Gyarados
Challenge Progress: Dragoncat, Bread.

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Another thing, actually, if any option but 1 is chosen, would leaders (this is just aimed at leaders) like their teams passing on or would they leave it to the person filling their post to make their team? Furthermore, if they choose to give the team, would they be willing to have it altered just while that person uses it on showdown?

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Application:

Showdown name: ShinyBlaziken2000 or Unhelpful_Insight
In-Game: Nope
Available times: GMT 14:00 to 2:00 every day but sunday.
Tributes: Garchomp, Venusaur-M, Latios, Lucario, Skarmory, Heatran. That's right, i'm keeping my whole team. I volunteer as tribute!

I'm afraid that can't be accepted - you need to give just two constants, although I wouldn't mind if it weren't for that Latios is actually banned in some members battles, so I need an actual two constants.

Once that's fixed up you're good to go, of course, but it needs to be two for consistency

[SirBlaziken]

Then I must postpone my signup of the challenge until I rebuild my team, due to latios being needed for balance. I'll delete the post.

Edit: I've started over and I have a new duo.

June 13th. Challenged the Master of the Skies. Was defeated 1-0 by floating rocks. Will try again as possible. I don't intend to lose faith yet.

June 14th. Challenged the Master of Skies once more. Was defeated 1-0 by a bad decision. Awaiting the verdict of the Duchess of Shadows with regards to my challenge to her.
Was defeated by the Duchess's steel encased faerie. I'll keep trying. Master of Skies, Duchess of Shadow, King of Tides, and Lord of Mind, I will defeat you. And then I'll go for the God of Flame. May the gods be with me.

June 15th. My first victory. Challenged the Duchess of Shadow. Won 5-0. But I won't get cocky.

Unknown date. Was defeated by the Master of the Skies

July 2nd. 3-0 Victory against the Master of the Skies. He said I have learned well, but there are greater challenges ahead. He won't go down as easily next time.

Actually - just realised I missed an option of the vote, so I'm editing that in after posting this, so feel free to change your vote if you prefer it
