So close, just one more.
>>31877800
Oh yeah you're almost through it, good luck
>>31877997
>>31878108
>>31878183
The dream is dead. Hopefully we can do some tomorrow, love doing them.
Have a cute phantump, been becoming a real favorite of mine recently.
>>31878509
Here's hoping, I'll probably be around.
>no champ theme

>>31879161

>>31879173
No music for what?
>>31879181
champ
>>31879183
Have you even played the game?
>>31879183
this isnt showderp you fucking retard
>>31879190
showderp doesnt either you stupid dumbass
>>31879191
>he's never been in a showderp thread
>>31879193
find me one rn retard
>>31879196
im too much of a retard to use the catelogue
>got back from travel
>missed the gym challenge
WEW.
After playing mono for so long, I forgot how to make a team.
Send help
>>31879965
Travel would be a little bit better than this, i'd wager.
Gym challenge still going though. Probably a week and half left.
>>31879978
how long does the gym challenge usually go for and how many times a year is it? and does /vp/ have any other battle tournaments like this?
>>31879978
I mean no shit I had fun traveling.
Pokes is fun too tho.
But I can't make a team that is not a monotype to save my life. Team is decent now, and testing has been nice, but I tend to avoid using legendaries, so it hurts a lot while testing
>>31880005
Normally a month of the challenge, depending on activity and such. There will probably be another tourney/gym challenge in another month or so.
There's showderp, but that's about it.
/vp/ is nearly entirely waifu posting.
>>31880016
I'm in the same boat with team building.
>>31880016
are you having trouble building a 3v3 team or 6v6 team?
>>31880037
maybe I should organize a 6v6 tournament on here when theres no gym challenge if anyone would be interested
>>31880038
Both.
My best team was a mono psychic team I used on a tourney and on a couple of fights.
This was while ORAS was out.
Without Mega medi and changes to the meta, my team is now useless.
I have a hard time building teams I guess.
>>31880052
Go for it!
>>31880173
the meta changed a lot, i found it a bit harder to adapt to. speed is more key in this gen. can you post your team in a pastebin?
Man, this concept is really dank, but it just doesn't quite hit the mark.
>>31880746
what would you change to improve it?
>>31880758
Good question. I've been racking my brain for what could be improved.
Leaders should definitely specify what times they are available to battle. They don't need to be incredibly active, but knowing when a leader will consistently online makes a big difference.
Not sure how I would go about the leaders teams. Bringing the teams they earned the leader spot with is kinda cool and consistent, but would be boring for the leaders, but allowing full flexibility with the scouting document the leaders have also allows for counters for the leaders.
Not sure what else could change. Anybody else got any ideas?
>>31881013
maybe have more than 8 gym leaders but you only need 8 badges to proceed. i think giving gym leaders flexibility is a good idea, it can make them more competitive. id like to see their scouting document after this is all over to see what people used
>>31881230
Wouldn't challengers just lean towards the weaker leaders?
More likely it would just be the more active leaders.
>>31881309
they'd probably go for any leader who is on at the time and for the less active leaders some people will still end up using them whenever theyre on. i dont know if id describe any of the leaders as weak, but 2 stood out to me.
I am open now, for anyone who is here this morning.
>>31881840
mmmmmmh'kay I'll take you on
are you still there?
>>31882022
Yes, i'll be online in a bit.
>>31882031
in the plaza, challenge me whenever
>>31882036
Ah, made a bad choice there in the last game. You certainly took advantage of that, GG's. Polka wins 2-1.
>>31882147
Yeah I've always been afraid to lead with chandelure cause
1) aegislash could have fucked me over
2) I didn't expect to kill cofagrigus like really?
Congrats on the trick room sweep, totally caught me off guard.
>>31883054
...!
>>31877800
I'm a bit late...

deader than deadest. jesus christ.
>>31891416
More please/sauce.
>>31892385
A little less dead, i am here now. For whatever that is worth.
Raymoo pls
>>31892617
This is fucking ridiculous, petition to remove raymoo if his leader position.
>>31893084
honestly I think something needs to be done, people talking about closing the gym challenge and I can't progress / try for champ. I don't wanna fail, man. :(
>>31893390
Callum just needs to replace him with another type rep from the tourney, this has happened before with a fag that rarely opened like raymo and his name was Jaime, he got the boot and was replaced by druides.
>>31893459
I literally just fixed my internet problems two seconds ago, but it's fine to just make it count as a penalty and just remove me.
Also, I was the one that opened the most alongside with Mige on the first threads, don't make it sound that dramatic now that you have me out.
>>31894856
Mike* :^)
>>31895040
Shit, those two will always be confused with eachother.
Hey everyone, sorry I've been away for awhile. Poison gym is now open.
Me too thanks
>>31895065
Shut the fuck up, faggot. Don't you know that you have to reply within ten minutes to everyone and anyone's request?
>>31896045
>posted almost two hours after raymoo
Haven't you learned anything, scrub? :^)
>>31896105
>nanu
where's that little faggot? Is he gonna post his gay porn then complain about how good he was going to be?
Multis anyone?
>>31896340
Sure.
>>31896340
>Taking online math
I wish..
New mono challenge when
>>31896396
fuck monos and 3v3 autism how about something different
ice gym is open
i can also do multis if no challengers are around
>>31896463
All for it mate.
What do you want to do? OU smogon style?
>>31896488
6v6 singles maybe with or without the smogon OU bans. or maybe with no legendaries. there are a few different scenarios. id make a poll thread to see what people are interested in when this is over.
>>31896514
6 vs 6 singles WITH mono sounds fun actually.
Megas but no legendaries allowed sounds good as well.
Fuck genies and tapus/UBS. Literally no fun.
>>31896340
>>31896378
>>31896476
Looks like that's 3, anyone else?
Accepting challenges
how long until this fuckign disgrce eneds?
>>31897896
As soon as you can spell words correctly.
forever dead
not enough people for multis or anything?
Poison gym is closed.
>>31899498
Shut the fuck up Patty, petition for Raymoo removal when???????
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MY REQUESTS AREN'T BEING FUFILLED IN TEN MINUTES OR LESS, I AM ACTUALLY THIS ANGRY ABOUT A POKÉMON TOURNAMENT WITH NO REAL BEARING!!!!!!!

>>31900310
yeah challenge me baby
>>31900305
Heading online now, challenge me when you finish battling cerise
>>31900314
RIP table
he """fought""" well
Leading with araquanid last match was the biggest regret of the month.
I hate you
Korago gotta lunch fast and be online in 5-10 min
>>31900435
good attempt, friend
game 1 was much too close for me, with weavile surviving at only 4 hp
sorry for wiping your entire team with cloyster again, it just feels dirty now
Korago I'm ready
>>31900435
>Quiver pass
It hurts to live
>>31900603
Don't worry cerise punished me already for my dirtiness with FUCKING FRIGID VAGINAMON OF THE NORTHERN FIVE FROZEN STARS IN THE ASS!
I'M STILL SALTY CERISE YOU DON'T KNOW!
GGs btw, I didn't expect it to turn that way, I'm satisfied.
I'm just now realizing I will never be able to get some badges cause of time zones
Lingering around. Hoping Raymoo turfs up.
>>31901692
But I'm out m8
>>31901831
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>31901831
Are you? Because if so, then darn.
>>31901851
I guess I can be the fake leader while Callum finds my replacement. Don't wanna cause another weak of deadness in case my modem decides to explode again.
>>31901870
If that counts for an 8th badge still, sure.
Flying Gym is open for a while, so feel free to challenge
>>31901893
Guess I'll be lurking in the plaza.
>>31901912
sweet, be there momentarily.
>>31901912
I'M SO SORRY RAYMOO! I TRIED IRONIC SHITPOSTING TO TRY AND SHOW EVERYONE HOW AUTISTIC THEY WERE BEING, BUT THEY DIDN'T LISTEN. I TRIED KEEPING THEM AWAY, AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE, BUT THEY CAME IN AND TOOK YOU ANYWAY, RA-RAYMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. MY LITTLE BOY. WHERE DID THEY HURT YOUUUUUUUUU.
GG raymoo, outpredicted in various areas.
If I want to rechallenge, will you continue to be about or should I sit tight until a replacement gym appears?
>>31902091
If Callum takes a while I can still hang around as the fake leader.
>>31902001
>implying i didn't want to be the special snowflake that left the league just to bechamp
Open Sesame
>>31901911
clooooooooosed until tonight
>>31900027
>the next tournament better not be fuckign mono cancer
>>31902109
>>31902091
>>31901870
It's not Callums job to find a replacement leader, he just makes the docs for it.
Next in line would be Pyritie, Bomie and then Seven
>>31905953
>none of them are challenging
Welp, might as well just stay unless they suddenly show up.
>>31906282
Why even quit in the first place?
>>31906379
Some anon said Raymoo should be removed for being inactive the past week.
Even though he was probably the most active gym leader, along with you, in the early days of the challenge.hell, i'm probably the least active one
where hamwall
>>31907592
He's mentioned that he works weekends and is usually too tired to battle so probably Monday.
At what point does the challenge finished. From previous season it's normally been around a month to a month and a half, but they are normally more active than this.
There are very few active challengers.Why keep forcing it along?
>>31908033
>>31908033
Oldfags mostly wanting to keep the "good ol days" alive.
How dead is thread? I'm up for multis.
>>31908214
Did someone say multis?
>>31908115
Who are the oldfags in this situation? Mike? Maybe Cards?
>>31908033
I wouldn't mind another tourney desu but some people really like the gym challenge.
>>31908309
I would say Ryan, Daniel, Mike are the most interested in the challenge succeeding?
>>31908354
lmao. Daniel fucking bitched it. 10/10 experience
>>31908333
Gym challenge is for the weak, mono is more fun in my opinion though personally I find being a gym leader seems more fun then being a gym challenger.
>>31908354
Ayyyyyyyyyyy
>>31908214
sure
>>31908354
Nah i don't really like the challenge personally, i much prefer the tournies.
I really hate monos and strongly dislike 3v3
>>31908214
me pls
>>31908214
>>31908293
>>31908531
I'm down if you guys still are.
>>31908627
I prefer 3v3 when doing monotype because weaknesses are harder to exploit, since Ice is weak to practically everything.
For example, if I get matched against a Steel user, Mamo or a boosted Cloyster might be able to win the game, if I play well.
But if it's 6's, I really doubt either of them can take on an entire team.
It also works the other way around.
If I get paired with ground, I can't just go 'lol gg nerd', the other guy can still outplay me.
>>31908293
>>31908531
>>31908677
Cool, I'll host.
>>31908692
Sorry rob, just missed it. I'm up for more after.
>>31908709
Jumping on.
>>31908709
That's fine.
>>31908677
Hey battle me pls
>>31908720
nah u should take my spot. so i can fite >>31908748
>>31908720
Think Omar is kill since Ryan challenged him, join us?
>>31908848
Yeah getting on.
Remind that if multis take more than 10 minutes to start, we're all cancer.
>>31908872
Yes.
>>31908887
A double?
>>31908864
where did this epic "reply to me in 10 minutes or you're cancer" meme come from
>>31908864
>>31908887
Shane only not seeing you, are you online?
>>31908891
Stop pretending to be me faggot
>>31908892
I believe it was Rogi who started it.
>>31908837
Hey im living now let's gooo
I'm back home and the flying gym is back open
That was amazing Shane.
>>31909224
Thank. Chowder OP.

But why?
>>31909466
They share a powerful bond.
>>31909466
No fun allowed.
I actually had a full team in my party all ready to use but the fucking team wouldn't pass.
TY for games
Good games guys.
GG gang.
Guys, try bringing a new team every game or to, multis are for messing around and variety.
>>31909533
seconded.
kill challenge when
>>31911198
When GF implements the missing Megas. But then again you can have a Megaless Bank Tourney, then a Mega Bank Tourney.
Also I'll try to lurk all day.
I'll be home in a hour, any gym leader will be up?
Cerise I'm looking at you specifically
>>31911742
it may take another half an hour or so for me.
I can't wait Cerise, I just can't fucking wait to flip that one last predict coin on the third match's cloyster like always
>>31911981
i'll probably mispredict long before i feel the need to bring out cloyster
even if i lose, i'm just glad to know that i'm not a complete pushover as a gym leader as i thought before
>>31912042
I'm ready, wbu
>>31912254
>3ds refuses to connect to internet after many attempts
fug
sorry for disappointing you, but we'll have to fight at a different time
i'll next be available at around tuesday noon or thursday morning, but you seem to only be around late at night for me
not sure when we'll be able to meet next
weekend is guaranteed, and i'll have decent internet then, but i don't know if you can wait that long
>>31912326
ohhhwww okay :(
>>31912378
you can still challenge half the other leaders, can't you?
raymoo might be around, considering >>31911654
>>31912401
Yeah I'll wait someone else opens, though I really looked forward re-battling you, I won't be home next weekend so I'll just go with the universe flow till the day we fight again
>>31912450
still there?
I have nothing for steel so it's gonna be fast
>>31913423
fast is my third name
>>31913455
coming up online, gotta add you I think
>>31913463
yeah, I just added you
will leave the 3ds on the plaza
>>31913498
Steel really is the best type
I had literally no idea what to do first match, maybe I should have switched to chandelure on that head smash on the second one.
Looking forward our next battle, nice outfit.
>>31913689
That last burn made me chuckle. See ya soon.
>>31913793
by some miracle are you still about?

Huh, super slow night. I kinda wonder how long we're gonna keep this round of gyms going.
Also, I'm closing for the night.
>>31932161
If anyone values these threads' liveliness, hopefully not long.
Who keeps leaving?
>>31932161
hopefully long enough for me to get a shot at the champ
GG gang, fun matches.
Lew, bring more fun shit man. It's cool if you play OU but multis are for fun. It's for fun gimmicky shit and karenfagging.
Hey guys.
Does anyone know when the next tournament will start?
>>31932529
if its mono, hopefully never
>>31932529
Probably around a month or so from now. Just a rough estimate though. Challenge could get ended very soon based on activity. It will have been running for a month on the 5th of March.
There will be some downtime and then back at it again.
>>31932617
Why?
>>31932640
monos are boring, 3v3s are boring, and mono 3v3s are cancer
>>31932315
is hypnosis spam fun?
>>31932991
Then why the fuck are you posting here on the first place, if you want to play OU cancer fuck off to showdown.
>>31933791
how is OU cancer?
>>31933222
Confirmed ass blasted.

>so much so that they shun those who bring Pokémon that are actually viable, assumingly to keep it more "varied"

>only the strongest mons are interesting
What cunt?
If you think that they want them to brings mons that aren't 'actually viable' you're a lost cause.
It's fucking multis as well.

viability is purely contextual, changes with the format. That being said, if you're playing multis for fun with people who routinely and continually bring mons that aren't typically used in a competitive environment, then you in contrast bring things which are very viable in those higher competitive formats, it makes it unbalanced. I got no problem with megas of any kind or good viable mons; It's just easier when everyone brings a team that is on the same kind of level. But in the multis we play, people will regularly use shitmons, which can make it moreinteresting. It can also be discussed before hand if we can play by a certain tier, that might help ease some tension.
In summary, I think some friendos need to understand that in this thread there is room for both competitive and more thoughtless, just for shits and giggles battling
Also, poo in Lew, I will be home at about 8pm EST, we can chimp battle it out then
