[] Gym Battlers Open

Aw, I wanted #13, heh. Anyway, I'm in! Just one question though. The level-100 setting... does that mean that all Pokemon are automatically adjusted to level 100, or just that they can be up to level 100 [but if they're say, level 70, they stay at 70]? Also, with the benching rule... That means we can essentially have a
team of 9, and just use the six [or three, if that's the case] we choose for that particular battle?

Also, no Legendaries... As there are so many now, could we possibly get a list of which are actually Legendaries? The only games I've owned are Red, FireRed, and Pearl, so I'm not totally up on the list these days.

And I choose you, #7!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Kind of makes me wonder... a) What exactly you got that's so bad, and b) How Karma is going to hit me for it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So, one more question. Let's say that my type is Water... Can I choose a Pokemon whose secondary type is Water?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So I started playing again [nabbed myself a Cresselia!] and realized that most of my team is going to have to come from the GBA generation, so I popped in FireRed, and the game thinks that I've been screwing with the time on my DS. Now I'm apparently not allowed to transfer for 24 hours.

Augh.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm pretty happy with my type, too. The problem is... One of the ones I want to include on my team is level 1, and you can't catch them in the wild... So I'll have to RAISE RAISE RAISE for the rest of the weekend. Heh.

And thanks Kai, but it's okay. I should be okay to transfer around 10pm tonight.

I was speaking idiomatically.

My list isn't that big either, but it's got two or three that I'm excited to have on my team.

The fun part is... Well, it looks like my team will be mostly dual-type, with my type being secondary. Not because of lack of Pokemon that have my type, but the fact that the ones I want to use being something else. Should be intereesting, to say the least.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No PBR for me, either. I don't mind battling via DS, though.

How ya doing, buddy?

Nice little list there. This should be fun. I assume then we'll just take the battles on in whatever order we like, then post back here with the results?

Oh, and I guess I should post up my FC, cause I don't think I've done that here before... In any case, I'm 'Loki', located at 0473 4335 9967.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm not *quite* ready yet, but if anyone wants to do battle tomorrow, I should be good by then. I just have to add some [hopefully] finishing touches [read: moves] to my team. Which means hunting down some choice TMs. Beh.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Out of curiosity, why exactly is Wobuffet banned?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think I'm ready.

Anyone wanna go for the first battle? [Also, the way you described it, Kai, was that we sort of do a 'best of three' kind of deal... Is that right?]

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, I see. I thought we were to battle every other person in the tournament. Only having to win three times opens a whole new window of strategy, to be honest. :o

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Whoops, I meant to say 'best of five' for each player.

Anyway~

Sousuke vs Identity Crisis - Round One

Simply put... Sousuke got slaughtered. Lost all six Pokemon, unable to take down ANY of his opponents... [We opted to finish the other battles later, as Identity Crisis is off somewhere.]

I'll repost this with the full battle log when we finish the match, too. I just wanted to put my loss out there. xD

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, here's the first full report.

Sousuke vs. Identity Crisis:

Round 1

Simply put... Sousuke got slaughtered. Lost all six Pokemon, unable to take down ANY of his opponents... [We opted to finish the other battles later, as Identity Crisis is off somewhere.]

Round 2

NO MORE DRATINI. D: This battle was a 3v3, bringing more strategy to the table. However, Sousuke still got completely shattered by the Identity. This time, Sousuke managed to take down ONE opponent. Then he did something incredibly stupid, and used Dig against a Pokemon that was able to use Earthquake... Damn.

Round 3

Another 3v3 battle. The worst of the three. And shortest. Identity's first Pokemon managed to OHKO Sousuke's first TWO, and took down his third in two hits. How he managed to take down a beast with over 400HP in one hit is beyond me. Honestly.

Final Count:
Sousuke: Lost 12 Pokemon, defeated 1.
Identity: Lost 1 Pokemon, defeating 12.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Kai!

You up to battling FIGHT type today?

How ya doing, buddy?

Gotcha on AIM. If you're okay for a go, just let me get my team ready.


[edit] Ouch. Will post a report as soon as I can make sense of what just happened. xD

Sousuke vs Kairyu - 3v3:

Round 1

I killed something! Well, made it 'faint'. Bah. Sadly, that's all that's good from the Fight team. Some more damage was given, but even without the ability for the opposing team to recover, I was taken down with ease. At least it seemed easy on Kairyu's part. xD

Round 2

Revenge! :3 This match started off a lot better. I actually brought in some Pokemon that MIGHT have had a chance. I was able to take down the Pokemon that killed off my team in Round 1, so I thought I would be able to continue that streak... sadly, no. After taking down his Pokemon of DOOM, he managed to kill off my team with someone else. Again.

Round 3

Ownage. Again. D: Kairyu gets revenge this time! I managed to defeat his first Pokemon, after losing one of my own. After that, it all went downhill again. The Pokemon of DOOM returned and basically just ATE the rest of my team. XD

Sousuke: Lost 9, defeated 3.
Kairyu: Lost 3, defeated 9.

In the end, I lost 3 - 0, once again. Hopefully I'll have better luck against some other trainers. ;_;

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

2pm EST? I'm up for a battle, it's been a few days since my last. :3

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oooh, that's a fun idea. I could even go back to the av/sig I was using about a week ago. :3

Anyway, Ozzie, I think I added your AIM to my list, but for some reason, Miranda absolutely WILL NOT connect to my account. I have no idea why. It was fine the other day, and then all the sudden it stopped working. I'll try to figure it out by then, but if not I'll PM you here and we can go from there.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've got a rather simple idea for my badge, but I've felt like shit all day and haven't really wanted to do anything. XD

Anyway, you know the fist animation that appears when you use something like Focus Punch [I think?] or ThunderPunch? If anyone wants to badge-ify that for me, I'd be happy. Also, I like the shine/sparkle thing you've got on your badges, Icy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks to Icy for the wonderful paaaaaaauuuunch! badge.

How ya doing, buddy?

Thanks Kairyu~

Those sketches look pretty good. I'm liking the Sludgebomb badge.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm up for a match tonight, if anybody's bored. Just hit me up on AIM and I'll probably pick it up; I'll just be watching some TV.

[edit] I like how a lot of us are also using the Pokemon Gijinka art as av/sig art. It fits together nicely.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Wait, there's a SITE? I actually found it through a friend on LJ who posted an incomplete ZIP of most of the photos, trying to get together a cosplay group. Then yesterday I did a search, but the most I could find was a Photobucket album. :/

Link plz?

FELIPE NO

Whoa. I thought that's what happened when trying to divide by 0.

Most amazing jew boots

I'll be around tomorrow for most of the day, so PM me, or nab me on AIM. Thursday I'm having more wisdom teeth out, so I'll probably be pretty out of it, but should be up for a match or two on Friday.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
