Word, its December 2011?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I do have difficulties at explaining this new feeling. Love and hate are surprisingly near each other, I see.

[Mew Master]

And I don't see why everyone's getting their panties in a bunch over a bunch of numbers that reflects our lack of a life over the last 11 years.

You were the one that pointed out that you were 4 posts away from replacing me on the list of top posters for TPM months back. To which.... I didn't care much and let you have it. I'd rather make posts with substance than SPAM. Quality over quantity.

Post-count Ragers be ragin over nothing.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

OK, perhaps Sun Unova isn't the right place to settle this. Afer all, there are...

1) the topic in Binary District
2) firepokemon's Social Group
3) Mt. Moon

[Mew Master]

Oh Geek.. Like MT Moon is a place to have a civil discussion. Might as well go to Wonderland and convince the Red Queen to paint everything Blue for all the good it'll do. *eyeroll*

While your at it, try getting the Cheshire Cat to frown.

I agree with Mew Master being that the post count is just a bunch of useless numbers. We might as well have signs strapped around our necks saying how many sentences we've said or how many days we've lived. It just doesn't matter.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

We need a new generation of pokemon

[Mew Master]

Please no.... not yet. I still haven't evolved the ones I've GOT from Gen V

[RaZoR LeAf]

Lets see if we can get fake ones approved.

[Toucan Sundae]

Lets see if we can get fake ones approved.

I've not read the archive, there might be one there.

But at PFU we had a shop where you could design and buy your own fakemon for use in the ASB, you could also pay a sprite artist to design it for you.

[Cynder]

And I'd be happy to sprite them for you all! (when have the time) But movesets would be a real trouble to set up and keep track of...

EDIT: Actually, fakes would probably be a bad idea, since it would be a huge workload for me and whoever else sprites around here, plus, as I said before, they'd be really hard to keep track of and would be too overpowered...

[Darth CookieMonster]

I agree with the spriter ^^

[RaZoR LeAf]

Razola tried to get Ronald MacDonald approved for his team on April Fools day once.

Actually, at PFU, there were massive limits on the fakes.

All basic pokémon could only have eight level up moves and 20 TM moves
All unevolving basic Pokémon could only have ten level up moves and 30 TM moves
Stage 1 was similar to unevolving basic.
And Stage 2 was 12 - 14 level up moves and 35 TM moves.

Also, there was a stat maximum for each. Like 300 for basic or something, they were quite underpowered really. Also, they don't need sprites, they'd be on the first post of the business and there were rules against stuff like ghost/dark types with wonderguard, actually, I think wonderguard was banned all together and, with the activity of this ASB, I doubt there'd be that many requests regarding this idea, it was barely active on PFU.

[Mew Master]

Fake Pokemon have been discussed and it's been ruled that we don't use them. Granted, it doesn't stop you from being creative and coming up with your own ones, it's just we don't use them for ASB because of the added workload and headache it would put out.

[Cynder]

I guess we could make it a forum wide project like CAP on Smogon, so that they get everybody's approval before they can be used, but only in certain battles. For example, not allowed in gym battles and stuff, of to go the the saf zone, etc.

[Greyfox]

Eh, I'm gonna vote no on Fakemon. We've already got over 600 real ones to use, and with abilities, genders, sprite mods, and now move tutors playing a part, adding completely unreal species to the mix is just going to complicate things more than they need be.

ASB's only got two mods, after all; if we overwork them, then we'll likely lose 'em both.

[Mew Master]

But we all know DL thrives on stress

[RaZoR LeAf]

I think just being able to customise the sprites of existing pokemon is enough really.

[Darth CookieMonster]

Yeah i agree to this. I am voting a big no no.

[Cynder]

Hmm, they would be overkill I suppose... Plus, if you really wanted to have a fakemon, I guess that you could change a real pokemon similar to the one you want almost beyond recognition and then use the official moveset and stuff, just not the sprite.

[DarkestLight]

:tabs Mew, then runs away to ref and battle w(here)tf is Papabopp >O!!::

[Ayeun]

I vote for a NO on fakemon.

LAST thing we need is a bunch of Ghost/darks with Wonderguard.

Oh please.

Foresight fixes that problem :3

[chaos_redefined]

As does Tauntlocks + Toxic. Doesn't make it right.

I say no to fakemon, simply coz you already have <insert ridiculous number here> pokemon available. why do you need more?

[Ayeun]

Off this current topic...

How come we don't rename this place every birthday like we used to?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Cuz me and DL decided that we don't like you guys anymore.

There.

EDIT: DL, papabobb is camping and won't be back till Friday IIRC.

[chaos_redefined]

They only have so many ways to name it. Especially with a pair of people born on the same day. (Looking at you, ct and ceb)

I'm afraid the freebie session is over... :/

I'm afraid the freebie session is over... :/

...oh

[RaZoR LeAf]

Might it be worth removing the whole Freebie bit from the start of the topic? Considering new members are being told to read the first post of big topics...

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Caught me on that, my apologies, but it's hard to keep track of things some times

[Charles Legend]

Hum what do you guys thing of this Idea for an arena?

Uranite Conductive Quarry

Long ago a meteor crashed into earth, for many years humans have mined the creator and thus turning it into a quarry and extracted Thunder Stones and oddly Metal Coats from it today the quarry is a national landmark, old Backhoe and other earth movers litter the landscape as well as fragments of the original meteor, the biggest of which lays in the center of pond which is in the very center of the quarry.

The locals have spread a creation story about the pond's origin they clam the miners were using the center of the quarry as a urinal, however the water in the pond is actually yellow do to the fact it has high contractions of Thunder stone the core fragments being the most common hence why the water is yellow.

The quarry is roughly in the shape of a box shaped and is some what deep, also despite this having once been a quarry there is a forested area around the pond in fact a small tree top community lives in this forest, and it's also said before this area became a quarry in the sense that a big commercial company ran it, the crater was mostly a forested land with only small scale mining operations ran by the locals who dove out the big company in an moment to protect there home land and appealed to the Pokémon league who made this area a protected Wildlife Area however the locales were permitted to stay as the protectors and mangers of the area...

~Charles Legend

[RaZoR LeAf]

All I got from that is that the arena is a box shaped quarry. The rest is just flavour text about its history.

[Blademaster]

I think it's nonsensical junk like all your ideas, basically.

[Darth CookieMonster]

Charles, my Arena sits yours down.

Arena of Choice:
~Warsong Gulch~

This arena is based upon a Battleground in World of Warcraft. There are two side, one side being a lush forest with a base made of marble. There are trees everywhere, along with three huts that provide a powerup in each. Across from that is a barren all dirt flatland. It has a base made out of lumber. There is a giant sawmill next to the base. This side also has three huts with powerups in each.

At the start of the battle, each side takes a round to power up, only using moves that boost stats. After that, the gates are opened and battle begins. Pokemon and trainers have to run towards each other to begin fighting. It is a melee match, so all pokemon are out and fighting at the same time. Pokemon can be commanded to use the powerups in the huts.

Powerups include:
Healing +10 (For three rounds at the end of the round)
Attack +5 (For three rounds)
Lang Ranged Barrier (All attacks that are fired over long ranged against the user are nullified for three rounds)
Physical Barrier (All close quarter combat used against the user is nullified for three rounds)
Invincibility (Rare Powerup: Found on each side Once per match, Long Ranged barrier and Physical barrier put together)
Super Speed (Speed is +10 for three rounds)

Pokemon can use powerups from both sides regardelss of the side they start on. The powerups regenerate a round after one is used. Powerups are decided on ref.

Matches are at least 10v10
All pokemon out at once
Weather moves are unable to be used inside of bases
No banned moves
No Damage Cap
DQ: 4 Days

The objective is a game of Capture the Flag. You must capture the other Teams Flag and bring it back to your base while your flag is uncaptured. The pokemon that is currently sporting the Flag gets a 100 point health increase (ex. If a pokemon is at 67 and they get the falg they are now at 167) and they cannot attack.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Too much information.

The next arena I'm going to give a go at reffing will be the:

Choose your own Arena Adventure

Battle starts in the middle of an empty field. There are four paths leading north, south, east and west. Each round the person who attacks first gets to choose which direction the battlers will take, and then at the end of the round, the battle moves and the arena changes a little. What happens to the arena can't possible be predicted, but the path it takes is solely up to the battlers.


Failing that, I'll probably do a Doctor Who wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey arena.

[Oslo]

Every time I'm starting a battle topic and trying to devise a quick arena all I can come up with is food.

Battle on top of a giant key lime pie.
Battle on top of a giant bowl of alphabet soup.
Battle on top of a giant melted marshmallow.
Battle on top of a giant pile of pretzels.

And then I go, Oslo, those are all shitty, shitty ideas, and then I resort to Indigo Standard, bastion of the lazy and unoriginal.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Battle in a pastry shop, eat a pie get a random effect! Key Lime +5 HP, Alphabet Soup (Eww this isn't cake -5HP), Marshmallows Mmmm sticky.. oh they're sticking to me all over now.. Speed -1, Pretzles.. mm ok savoury but still yummy ooh Defence +1 Ahh!! Chocolate!!! Excitement _6!!!!

[Toucan Sundae]

Failing that, I'll probably do a Doctor Who wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey arena.

Do it. Do it now.
