Pay attention and read this thoroughly...
1. You may start out with ONLY 4 Pokemon (Lowest level only. Charmander, Dratini, Pichu, Tyrogue, 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, variant glitches, and D/P 4th Generation pokemon 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 and Beldum 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. That's the last thing we care about
Format:
(Species) (gender, if any)
(Nickname, if any)
Ok, that's it (for now at least). Have fun and enjoy.
RaZoRLeAf: I've moved the old Approval Tower into th ASB Archive. Should anyone have forgotten their team or genders, you can find it there. I also added clarification on evolving Nincada (as discussed in the cafe) and illegal pokemon (though it is mentioned in the rules).
