Six pokemon, the first letter of each name must link up with the last letter of the previous pokemon, and the pokemon must be sent out in this order. Additionally, this must apply to the first and last pokemon as well. A good example would be Farfetch'd-Dugtrio-Oddish-Heracross-Shellos-Slurpuff. No ubers, with the exception of megas that are ubers.

Re: Pokemon Gimmick Free For All (title pending)
I'm going to be building a test team and messing around with it (fighting some of my rl friends with similarly built teams) to refine the gimmick. I might post replays to see if people have suggestions for refinements. But the version right now is as follows:

Re: Pokemon Gimmick Free For All (title pending)
Alright, I'll think of something else...bkamakaze wrote:So what exactly in your book constitutes rookie level? All of those Pokemon are still within my catagory. Digimon level systems aren't applied to Pokemon, so catagorising them like that is a system that exists purely in your opinion. It would make it very hard for a challenger to approach a battle where only one person knows the roster. If you can find a definitive list of which Pokemon classify as "Rookies" then that would be fine, but as it stands, nobody but you knows the roster.
So yeah, what pholtos is saying is that your stipulation is kinda murky in the sense that as it stands, there's no solid foundation for people to understand what it actually is.
How about this? My gimmick will now be that the team must have exactly one Normal-type, exactly one Grass-type, exactly one Bug-type, exactly one Poison-type, exactly one Water-type, and exactly one Ice-type. A team following this gimmick can be as follows: Sawsbuck, Beedrill, Walrein, Steelix, Zygarde, and Dialga.

That sounds fine, just as a note you might want to put a limit on things like ubers or legendaries or something. Whatever you decide feel free to add it on the sheet.HamsterZerg wrote:How about this?

Re: Talkhaus Pokemon Gimmick FFA
I would like to add something to my gimmick. Or rather, those who are challenging me.
They can either stick to my stipulations....
...or go with Pokémon in the bottom 2 tiers of the low kick damage table (55 lbs or less) and 2.5 feet or less.
Oh, and no Pokémon that would be normally disallowed in Nintendo official rules (besides Phione).

So here we are. Plays have been enacted. Empires have come and gone. The mightiest have passed away and withered, alike the least. Fires have burned, thousandfold. Yet, did not the great wind serenely continue its course? Does not the blackbird still sing its song? Does not the mistletoe still dwell in the oak's crown? Forgotten, what once has been told. Veiled, the words that once so rang out. Shrouded, like the larva in its cocoon. Let him hear it, who will.

In short, Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, all Deoxys forms, Manaphy, Shaymin, Darkrai, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion, along with any major legendaries, are not allowed. It's pretty much Flat Battle rules, except with 6 Pokémon at level 100, and Sleep and Freeze clauses.pholtos wrote:What does this mean?Zephyr_DragonLord wrote:Oh, and no Pokémon that would be normally allowed in Nintendo official rules (besides Phione).
I figured I would provide an option for a David vs. Goliath type of battle if challengers wanted to. (I could always disallow said option, if need be...)

Perhaps like the old stadium was?.. Where you can try as many times as it takes to get your badge, but each time you retried you had to change up your team a bit?

Re: Talkhaus Pokemon Gimmick FFA
Best of 3 seems fair enough, and allows for adjustment between matches. (Not to mention I've kinda sorta been assuming it implicitly...) Though I'd be fine with leaving it up to the leaders, as long as it isn't anything crazy like winning 100 times in a row. Which is unlikely.pholtos wrote:So guys should it just be best of three or should it be like gym battles where you get one shot or should it be where you get as many tries as it takes or...

If sub-400 is a shootout between glass cannons, this is more of a tank fight. Very good games either way.

Re: Talkhaus Pokemon Gimmick FFA
So for the ones hosting the gimmicks do you guys think it'd be ok for them to mess with their own teams and improve them as they face people? (I mean in between challenges of course.)

Re: Talkhaus Pokemon Gimmick FFA
To be honest, I would like the ability to do so, mostly if I'm finding my team performing really poorly (or if I face a few challengers in a row using similar tactics, I might want something to combat that specific tactic for the future).pholtos wrote:So for the ones hosting the gimmicks do you guys think it'd be ok for them to mess with their own teams and improve them as they face people? (I mean in between challenges of course.)
In regards to the amount of battles in a match, I think best two out of three would be fine. I wouldn't be opposed to just single battles, but I have always liked the idea of being able to adjust mid-match if needbe.
Re: Talkhaus Pokemon Gimmick FFA
I think it should ultimately be up to the "leaders" themselves, but best of 3 sounds good to me. I also like the idea of having to change up your team a bit before you can challenge somebody a second time. (that is, to another set of "best of three." Nothing wrong with keeping the same teams for all three matches there)
As for this, that sounds fine as long as their teams don't start varying too wildly. The concept of having more or less a consistent set team for challengers to overcome really jives with me.pholtos wrote:So for the ones hosting the gimmicks do you guys think it'd be ok for them to mess with their own teams and improve them as they face people?
