The Approval Tower



Welcome to the Approval Tower: your first step in starting out in ASB! Please read the following rules carefully and don't be afraid to ask a Moderator if you are confused.


In this tower you can now catch any Generation 4 Pokemon. New things to note:

-Burmy, Kriketot and Combee do NOT require battle EXP to evolve. This is due to a limited movepool. They join Magikarp, Beldum, Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple and their first evolutions.

-If you own a Sneasel, Misdreavus, Kirlia (or any previous gen Pokemon that has a new movepool) and it has battle EXP it can now evolve into its D/P form.




1. You may start out with ONLY 4 Pokemon (Lowest level only. Charmander, Hoothoot, Spheal, Skorupi etc)

1a. If you choose to have a team of non-evolving Pokemon, 2 of the 4 starting Pokemon has to have the ability to evolve (Ex: Aipom, Tauros, Cubone, Staryu)

1b. Legendary Pokemon, Missingno and variant glitches are banned.

2. The evolution system is simple: 3 Points for a first evolution and 4 Points for a second evolution (evolutions will be posted here and links are mandatory)

2a. The Pokemon in question that evolves will have to have participated in at least one complete battle (or in a DQ or forfeit, more than half the battle)

3. In the case of Wurmple, Caterpie and Weedle, evolving once will require 1 Point and the second evolution will require 3 Points. For those 3, their first evolutions, Beldum, Burmy, Combee, Kriketot and Magikarp (who will need 3 Points to evolve), battle experience isn't required

3a. In the case of Nincada's double evolution. If you want both evolutions you must pay for both and have two different examples of experience.

4. Catching Pokemon will only require 2 Points

5. If a forefeiting has been done on purpose and said battle is used for a battle experience/point gain link, it will be deemed null

6. You must always use this format when evolving or catching a Pokemon. No exceptions.

7. When you decide to evolve a Pokemon, links from the Bank and an experience battle need to be provided. For captures, a link to the Bank will do.

8. When you decide to evolve a Pokemon, that Pokemon cannot be participating in any other battles at the moment (ex: If I wanted to evolve my Charmander into a Charmeleon but he's involved in two battles at the moment, I cannot evolve him until he's done with both matches)

9. If you want to rename your Pokemon, you don't need to post here.




Format:

(Species)
(gender, if any)
(Nickname, if any)
(also mention any specific colours, shiny etc)



Ok, that's it (for now at least). Have fun and enjoy.
