TSR Gym Leader Project [Closed Applications]

[water dog]

hold on tyvo i will add them, im just tyring to get a list of what everyone has claimed ATM

[Wes]

I still don't know wtf most of those abbreviations mean

Uber (Top Tier)
OU Overused (High Tier)
BL Borderline (Middle Tier)
UU Underused (Low Tier)
NU Never Used (Shit Tier)
NFE Not Fully Evolved (Usually not used to battle and therefore not rated)

EDIT: ninja'd

[water dog]

also I am claiming ice for shawn

[JarJar]

all the sets that make swampert overused i dont plan on using, is that ok

[Cshad]

Question; If this is supposed to be non hardcore competitive just for fun battling, why are there so many restrictions? We have to have a mono team with 1 wild card and that already leaves us with only so many Pokemon. What's the point of the NFE? Why couldn't you have just said no Ubers when many of the legendary Pokemon outside that tier are very easily beaten by the Bog Standard OU's? I know you're trying to make this more fun and all that, but some of the restrictions seem unnecessary.

[water dog]

Please read the terms of service, PTA, they have been updated. If you want an explanation though, it is because these are meant be be "endgame" gyms per se, another activity to do. We are not a competitive battling community, and the restrictions are made to make battles and teams more balanced as we all know not all types are created equally. As well as balance, the restrictions hold true to the official Pokemon games gym roster pattern-- most gyms do not have all OU teams stacked with EQ and subpunchers and walls. Honestly, I find competitive battling to be extremely pigeonholed.

Also, youmay have TWO wildcard Pokemon, as long as you have 4 other Pokemon that fit the gym type. "Wild card" Pokemon MUST fit the theme of your gym. For example, if your gym theme is desert then you can have a Cacturne on your ground type team as well as one other "wild card" that fits your theme.

[JarJar]

Oh thank god just checked tiers/first post and my pokemon are good, working on movesets now.

[water dog]

Actually, I will change to ground. Whoever wanted steel may have it, though I don't think he team was up to standards.

[Omegajak]

Once the ball get's rolling on this, if we CAN get enough people can we make a TSR League where if you want to battle the E4 you have to battle all the 8 Gym leaders and take on the champ? Obviously it's too early to tell or to make a call on but I want to know if it DOES get that far can I be first to challenge the gyms?

[Zac]

I would like to sign up for Poison.
I'll update my pokes after a little more thought.

[Shawn]

ice represent

[water dog]

@Djanjo: If we do get enough people, then yes we can instate an E4. The E4 will be the best of the best of the already established gym leaders, and then another small tournament will be held to fill their former positions. As you said though, too early to tell.

EDIT: Added levels to all my pokemon

[Sengir]

I updated my post with movesets and reward Pokemon

And I'm really not seeing a theme in your team, Blitz.

[water dog]

I don't see a theme either, but putting that aside, it's perfect. Maybe replace Luxray or somehting with a Pokemon more fitting of a power plant. Also, remember, you are allowed 2 off type Pokemon. Just somehting to think about. :- ) I'm going to look at yours after this post Seng-- dont wanna switch pages mid post

EDIT: Amazing team Segnir, great reward Pokemon too. I need to think of my reward Pokemon, one I can actually make.
