Yikes. Second to last?

Oh well, so it goes. It'll be depressinginteresting to see what's left.

At least I have the option of drafting my entire team at once. Of course, I'd hoped to at least be in the middle of the stack. 21 of the best Pokemon will be gone before it even comes around to me.

Do we just post our choices here or pm you crash?

I don't think it will matter for the tournament itself. Crash will be posting the drafted Pokemon as everyone makes their selection. But if you want to make the thread less cluttered I'd PM him your choices.

It is essentially up to you, sir. If you like, you may PM them. I'll edit the choices into the opening post.

I don't mind.

tyranitar
Shuckle
Ramparados

In the interest of moving things along, I'll list my choices.

Salamence
Charizard
Skarmory

Enjoy your Dragonite, Kairyu.

Oh god, Icy got Skarmory. Somebody kill it with fire!

Alright, alright. I'll keep the pattern going:
Dragonite
DragoniteMiltank
DragoniteMamoswine

Hmm, I expected a lot of those to go early. I knew I'd never get Skarmory. Miltank, Shuckle and Rampardos were early surprises, however.

radcliff13 is up now. He has 48 hours to draft.

Shuckle is has the best defense (both ways) in the game. If Ninja over there didn't choose him, I would've taken him in a heartbeat.

Ramparados, on the other hand, has the best base attack stat in game.

Oh, I'm well aware of their advantages. I merely expected other options to go first.

I'll go with Gardevoir, Weavile and Lucario

Chaotic, it's now your turn.

Tritoch, you're on deck.

GOD DAMMIT, RADCLIFF. YOU TOOK THE ONE POKEMON I WANTED.

Metagross
Aerodactyl
Garchomp

Ugh, I had a feeling that someone would take Lucario JUST before I chose. :><:

well if it'll make you feel better kairyu took dragonite, the only dragon pokemon I wanted to use...

But with Kairyu, that's kind of expected of him to actually take Dragonite. You know, since Dragonite in Japanese is Kairyu.

Ahh, didn't know that, but ryu does mean dragon...just never made the connection/ never saw the japanese name. Thanks for the info! But I'm still down about Dragonite being picked... ;(

I would've been shocked if Kairyu hadn't chosen Dragonite. Now, as for my picks:

- Vaporeon
- Hypno
- Bastiodon

I'm not well-versed in EVs or stats, so there's a decent chance this will end horribly. :tpg:

Guess that makes it my turn. I'm actually quite surprised at some of the Pokemon that are left.


-Blissey
-Starmie
-Infernape

Aww, you took Starmie and Blissey! Now I have to think some more.

I'll edit my choices in momentarily. I will be drafting all six, after all.

Why in gods name would you want Blissy.. it's like 1HKO practice.

Do you have any idea what those things are capable of?

Aside form being the best special wall in the game it's pretty good at absorbing attacks. It's only real weakness is physical sweepers. But if planned right you can get around that, too.

You should fear Blissey. Seriously, it's downright nasty.

Anyhow, I choose the following six Pokemon:



So, the first half of drafting has concluded. The following Pokemon are no longer available: Tyranitar, Shuckle, Rampardos, Salamence, Charizard, Skarmory, Dragonite, Miltank, Mamoswine, Gardevoir, Weavile, Lucario, Metagross, Aerodactyl, Garchomp, Vaporeon, Hypno, Bastiodon, Blissey, Starmie, Infernape, Heracross, Magnezone, Alakazam, Drapion, Milotic, and Electivire.


Black Mage, it's your turn once again.

Hah hah, you got me back by taking one I wanted. ;)

Here's my last three:

-Gyarados
-Weezing
-Gliscor

Ah crap, you had to go and pick Gyarados. Alright, time to improvise.

- Leafeon
- Gengar
- Floatzel
