Thread: Want A Gym?

Ughh too many changes, still, keeps em guessing

Dark: Tyranitar (O) --> Drapion (R)
Ghost: Rotom W (R) --> Mismagius (R)
Electric: Jolteon (O) --> Electivire (O)
Ice: Weavile (R) --> Mamoswine (R)
Rock: Kabutops (O) --> Tyranitar (O)

No more atleast for now ;)

because I havea 4th gen gym, can I limit all pokémon and moves used within said gym to those available in 4th gen (i.e. Canalave gym would run exactly as it does now against the same pokémon with the same moves) or do I have to incorporate B/W into the running of my gym?

If so, I'm closed for a week till B/W comes out here and I get the hang of it.

Good question. You may continue to use D/P rules until you are comfortable in switching to B/W. It'll take some time for most everyone to transition to the new updates anyway, so you aren't alone.

Hold on. The transition from D/P to B/W is unlike any other generation so far. In R/S, there were abilities introduced. In D/P, there were physical and special split introduced. However, in B/W, there is nothing new introduced except for the mechanic and BP changes for a number of moves.

Thus, you cannot limit your Gym to D/P because there is no difference. All reffing done will follow the most up to date generation, when it comes to mechanics and B/W. For example, in B/W, Tackle becomes 50 BP and 100%. This will be followed in all generations to make it simpler for the referees.

btw Stinky said I could be in charge of Unova. :)

Its really nothing to sweat about anyway. Like Ataro(?) said, there's really not huge game changers here, unlike past generations. Just make sure you note a few changes in moves as well as the additions of moves. Do that, and you should be fine.

I just realized I traded away my Tentacruel so:

Tentacruel (o) to Lapras (o). Also can you change my AIM username to thedinobot

I just wanted to run under 4th gen mechanics because its a 4th gen gym and such things would make sense...if I had a kanto gym, I would have requested to run under 1st gen mons and moves..its more a, this gym is from this gen therefore mechanics for that gen shall apply....would be an interesting change to the league

Well, you can. Its called DP rules ._.

Not to mention, if you ran a Kanto gym, I'm pretty sure you'd get nobody to ref a RBY battle... I'm not even sure you'd know how to battle an RBY battle...

the Data is available.

in other news, changing Scizor (r) to Scizor (o)

that allows me to add Skarmory (r) and probopass (r)

to make ten pokémon

(will I now be allowed to go straight to 12 under b/w rules or will I need more owned mons?)

Uh, if it isn't clear, this is how the different generations work...

DPP: what we are most familiar with
RSE: same as DPP, except whether a move is physical or special depends on the type
GSC: same as RSE, except no abilities
RBY: retired as far as I know

Yes, this means even minor move differences will remain the stay the same across generations. The newest data on moves will be used. Therefore Hypnosis has 60% accuracy in all generations, Giga Drain will have 75 power (when BW is out) in all generations, and you can even use Secret Sword Keldeo in GSC, if you have it.

I'm aware of that pidge, was posting to see if I was allowed to run that as a gym rule.


on that note...I may as well post my 5th gen gym line-up (aand be the first to do so)..

expect some shuffling in the coming weeks

if I can have 12

Metagross, Empoleon, Scizor, Forretress, Magnezone, Aggron (o), Ferrothorn, Skarmory, Bronzong, Excadrill, Durant, Bisharp (r)

if I can only have 10 mons with 6 owned, drop Durant and Skarmory.

Dropping Aggron (O) and adding Excadrill (R), Ferrothorn (R), Durant (R), and Bisharp (R)

All for Olivine. This makes my lineup: Scizor, Skarmory, Steelix, Empoleon, Metagross, Bronzong, Lucario, Magnezone (O), Excadrill, Ferrothorn, Durant, Bisharp (R)

I currently have 8 owned in Celadon. Adding Lilligant (R) and Ferrothorn (R).

Final LIneup is


Owned Pokémon

Ludicolo
Leafeon
Venusaur
Roserade
Torterra
Cacturne
Sceptile
Exeggutor

Rented:

Abomasnow
Breloom
Lilligant
Ferrothorn

Oh btw guys, you have to own 8 mons in order to have 12 mons total.
