Elements Pokemon League - WiFi Branch

[Drake_XIV]

Something that I feel is a staple to almost all game-related forums...

A Pokemon League

First things first.  This is a B/W[2] WiFi Pokemon League.  If you wish to battle in Gen IV or PokemonOnline, please visit the respective links if they exist.

 I've been in a couple of different gym systems, primarily those made for larger groups. My idea is basically taking the model of the gyms used in the Pokemon games, and adapting them to our group. This means:

    * 8 Gym Leaders

    * 4 Elite Four Members

    * 1 Champion

    * Challengers

Also, note that when battling, everyone participating in a league battle must follow the sleep clause, freeze clause, species clause, and self K.O. clause. All official battles will be single battles.

Gym Leaders

The Gym Leaders can be fought in any order.

As a Gym Leader, you must have a specialized type. This means that each Pokemon on your team must have at least one common type (Everything must have a water type if you are the water gym leader for example). A Pokemon does not have to be pure water type in this example; a dual typed Pokemon is, of course, allowed, such as Water/Grass for a water type team.

Elite Four Members

The Elite 4 may be challenged in any order.  However, there's a catch. If you lose at any time while challenging the Elite 4, you must start over with the first member. So, say for example, I lose at the 3rd Elite Four member; I would then have to defeat both Elite Four members 1 and 2 again, starting the challenge over.

As a member of the Elite 4, you have been chosen to represent the League as a talented battler. Like a gym leader, you must specify in one type of Pokemon. However, unlike a gym leader, you make take in a second type as your main. This means Dual Type teams. And example would be a Rock and Grass type team. Every Pokemon on the team must be either Rock or Grass.

The Champion

The Champion will be set up to model the game's system as well. If you manage to gather all the gym badges, and then beat the Pokemon League, and then emerge victorious over the current Champion (if there is one when you challenge), you will be crown the Elements League Champion. As the Champion, you may only use the Pokemon that you defeated the Pokemon League Champion with against opposing challengers. If you are the current Champion and you are defeated, you are free to challenge the League again and try to reclaim your spot.  Please note that you must work your way up the League ladder instead of merely beating the League.  The first Champion will be determined through a tournament of the first Gym Leaders.

As the Champion, you are a unique specimen of battler, one who has conquered the rough terrains of the Pokemon Gyms and the war zone that is the Pokemon League. Only the truly great will be crowned Champion.

Challengers

The Challenger position is what makes the League. As a Challenger, it's up to you to do your best in your quest of becoming Champion. However, before you do so, there are some rules you must abide by in your challenge:

   1. In order to challenge the Elements Pokemon League, you must register a team of 9 Pokemon that you can use throughout your challenge.
   2. The use of any Pokemon not included in your original registration team will cause your immediate disqualification.
   3. In order to register, you must post your name, and registration team.  This will be recorded in the second post.  All previous challengers and their information will be kept here.
   4. If you wish to change the Pokemon in your registration team, you must re-register and start your challenge over again.

Challengers must follow these 4 rules in order to be eligible to partake in the Elements Pokemon League Challenge.

The Committee

Due to this community, there will still be Committee, but they will not play an integral role in the system.  They will be the judges whenever a challenge to become a League Member is invoked, but even then, they are merely spectators for the most part.

Ideally, this would be a WiFi only League.  However, if the need arises, a PokemonOnline based league may be created too.

Also, as this is separate from Elements, there are no real prizes for competing and winning.

For hopeful staff, if you are applying to be on the Committee, PM Drake_XIV and I will come around eventually to test if your team is valid for testing.  For League positions, remember that everyone starts off as a Gym Leader and merely has to make their way up the ladder.

Challengers may start League battles once the Gyms have all been filled.  However, they cannot move past until those further positions have been filled.  Also note that staff members may also challenge the League themselves.  However, when it comes to your position, a proxy must be approved as your replacement.

Also, it would also be appreciated if people would create badges for each type, since, considering the nature of this League, the Gym types may change.

This looks amazing. If I ever did competitive battling, I'd join, and even then I'll consider it.

Are there any limits to the Pokemon I can use at a given time? For example, can I use a level 50 Pokemon against the first Gym? Or a legendary? Neither of these would be practical in reality.

Also, note that when battling, everyone participating in a league battle must follow the sleep clause, freeze clause, species clause, and self K.O. clause. All official battles will be single battles.

I'm also not sure what these mean, could you clarify? Like I said, I've never done competitive battling, so both of these questions are probably stupid xD

Ah, how did I forget that.  The League is meant to be L100 only, but we can comply in some cases early on to use Flat Battle rules, which forces all Pokemon to L50.

Legendaries are banned from the League, no matter what the tier.  Competitive battlers will understand what I mean.

Sleep Clause is a rule that only one Pokemon can be put to Sleep at a time per side.
Freeze Clause is a rule that only one Pokemon can be Frozen at a time per side.
Species Clause is a rule that limits every team from having multiple copies of a Pokemon per side.
Self K.O. Clause is a rule that in the case of a tie, the Trainer who had used Perish Song, Self-Destruct, Explosion, Destiny Bond, etc. is the winner.

Single battles mean one on one matches, as opposed to doubles, triples, or rotation battles.

[ddevans96]

I take it with lv100 teams, we can choose their movesets, provided they're legal for that Pokemon, correct? If that's the case, are there any limits to this - for example, moves gotten with Machines, breeding, etc?

Sleep Clause is a rule that only one Pokemon can be put to Sleep at a time per side.
Freeze Clause is a rule that only one Pokemon can be Frozen at a time per side.
Species Clause is a rule that limits every team from having multiple copies of a Pokemon per side.
Self K.O. Clause is a rule that in the case of a tie, the Trainer who had used Perish Song, Self-Destruct, Explosion, Destiny Bond, etc. is the winner.

These are all self-explanatory in hindsight, I should have thought more before asking. Thanks

(btw, I feel really stupid for not editing out the single-battle line - I know what all those are xD)

[Drake_XIV]

Yes, all used Pokemon must be legal in movesets and EVs/IVs.

And it's fine.  The more you know, right?

Also, as a further note, don't be afraid because you don't EV train and whatnot.  In your cases, you can request Flat challenges.  However, these battles will be limited to Gyms and do not count towards badge wins.

I know an online Pokemon simulator that allows you create your Team with any Pokemon. You can customize your Team in every way possible: natures, items, IVs, EVs. That would be a great way to make this thing work.

Yes.  I have addressed this already earlier by stating that a PokemonOnline based League is a possibility if enough people want it.  Personally, I think WiFi-based Leagues should take a priority of sorts since it is based from the actual game, considering the effort that some put into training, as opposed to simply editing Pokemon with a keystroke.

[Drake_XIV]

Well, if more people show interest the simulator league, I can create the sister league.

The PokemonOnline League has been made HERE

Is there really no interest in a WiFi League?
