![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/V7oRlFf.jpg) TL LoL Pokemon Gym Challenge #1
So what's going on then?
As a fun event for you guys before we head into Gen VI with Pokemon XY, I am going to be hosting the first TL LoL Pokemon Gym Challenge. The premise is simple. I'm a Gym Leader, and you get to challenge me.
So what are the prizes then? A gym badge?
You get to put something in your profile that says you beat the Gym Challenge #1 and you get bragging rights in Off-Topic.
Hey, street cred is pretty cool!
I will also randomly select several winners to receive a flawless RNG'd Eevee to you so when Pokemon Bank is activated in December, you will have yourself a perfect Eevee to use in Pokemon XY to turn into whatever you want (Sylveon/Nymphia maybe?).
Flawless? What's that?
Perfect stats. 30-31 IVs in everything with Hidden Power Ice Power 70. Timid nature.
WOW. And if can beat you, I could receive that flawless perfect Eevee??
Yup. (Disclaimer: If my Wifi breaks there may be some delays in giving them out.)
Alright then. So what do I need to beat?
I will be using a team of 2 to 3 Pokemon, which will be around lvl 20.
Wait, that's super easy! I can just take my super-levelled team of---
Hold up! There's a reason I'm using this team instead crushing your face with my flawless lvl 100 monsters. Because not everyone has completed the post game or had time to breed, train or come up with a super awesome team, I've decided to make this a challenge anyone can take part in. Even if you've just started playing Pokemon BW or BW2, it's very quick to get to the lvl 20 cap so this challenge is still possible for you! (I will be about the same level as the 3rd Gym Leader, Burgh.)
Ok, fair enough. So what are the rules then?
- You're allowed to use any Pokemon that's level 25 or below. I'll allow a little bit of leeway if you're still playing along and have someone that's maybe a little bit over that you want to use.
- No Legendaries/Ubers/Hacked stuff. (Like you have a lvl 25 Garchomp to begin with. And that lvl 100 shiny Giratina from Gamestop is definitely not ok!)
- You can use up to 6 Pokemon even though I will not be using 6 Pokemon.
- No silly Smeagle Spore-Shuffling, Moody abuse, Evasion nonsense or other stupid shit. This is supposed to be a fun event for people so don't waste my time.
- If you've challenged me, don't go around telling other people what my team is to keep this fun for others. (I reserve the right to ban buzzkills.)
- We'll be playing on Gen V (Pokemon BW or BW2)
- Everything else is fine so have fun!
How hard is your challenge going to be then?
About Whitney level.
Wait, that's terrifying!
But you were able to beat Whitney and continue on your journey, right? Fret not, I've been running damage calculations to make sure I'm not going to just destroy everything and to make sure it's fair. Consider it as 'challenging but doable'. It also fits in appropriately as a "3rd Gym" level of challenge!
I think I can do it! So how do I sign up then?
PM me with the subject line "TL LoL Gym Challenge #1 Signup" and give me your Pal Pad Code for BW or BW2 as well as how far into the game you are. You need to have been a TL user for some time and I will give priority to TL LoL regulars, TL Staff or TL+ Members if there are too many people signing up.
What are the sign up deadlines and when will matches be held?
Sign-up deadline will be Saturday 12th October. You can arrange a match any time after I've PM'd you back confirming your entry until Sunday 20th October.
So does the #1 mean there will be more events in the future?
Depending on how successful this is, I might run future events for the subforum.
If I want to follow the challenge, how can I do so?
I will be uploading the Battle Replay of each match to YouTube (if I can figure out how to do it).
Awesome!
GLHF~
Wait, one last thing. What gym type is this?
The cute gym!

OH SHIT THIS HYPE GOTTA RESTART MY WHITE 2 RUN.
I can Nuzlocke AND do this. GET HYPE.
Edit: Though first I have to find my Friend Code lol.

What does this have to do with League of Legends?
I need to catch and train a new team, both my BW and BW2 teams are too high level -.- Will PM you when I get home.

If you are currently in a Nuzlocke run, losing Pokemon to Moonbear's gym counts as losing them in your Nuzlocke run.
jk that would be evil
|
This seems sweet, too bad I haven't played pokemon since gen 2 lol
|
I feel so unbelievably excluded you guise.
|
i have a feeling moonbear has something sneaky going on and woe betide the first guy he fights
also, wave should cast and stream the match.
|
Can I battle you on my Gold cartridge?
I think the last time I loaded that up I was hatching a batch of Larvitar eggs
|
Pootie too good!4331 Posts
Can you keep your team forever??
I want to collect all the badges when I get back to the State's haha

AHHHHHHHH
I swear, if you're running Chinccinos I will fucking cut you

lol.
I know absolutely nothing about competitive Pokemon, and know absolutely nothing about ANY pokemon beyond the first 150.
My brother had Gold so maybe I could name some of the next 100.
I mean....if people want me to cast shit for the hilarity of it (like when Husky plays League for example) then yeah by all means, but otherwise I'm pretty sure you'd want someone a little more knowledgeable.
Also I'm not even sure the logistics of how you'd cast something like that and have me be a 3rd party observer.
|
Srs buisiness time. Wonder if there are gonna be a victini o_O
edit: How many chances do we get? I'm guessing just once but might as well ask.
edit 2: There should be a wall of fame (like that statue in front of every gym) as well as a wall of deceased pokemon caused by this event. XD

The problem with casting it is that it kind of ruins the idea of MB wanting to keep it secret from future challengers what he's running.

MB PMed me with a solution to that---essentially I can release the casted matches little by little after they're either all done or a bunch of them are done. Either that or I'll cast them all as a block and do just one long 'episode.' Not that it would be all that long. Obviously we wouldn't get live casting with this kind of thing, but I don't think viewership would be particularly high enough to warrant that anyway.
Again all of this hinges on what people want exactly. I can imagine someone like Yango wouldn't want me touching Pokemon with a 10-foot pole considering my knowledge level, and that's fine.

I think it would be hilarious if you casted it with low knowledge.
Like a blind Let's Play.

What's the deadline on this..?
I'll have to go and find or breed a bunch of new Pokemon, then level them, and such but X/Y comes out on Saturday and I'm trying to spend the weekend playing X/Y there's no way I can spend time in BW today and tomorrow grinding this team.
haha I'm idiot and can't read nevermind, doubt I'll be able to do this since once X/Y comes out I'll be grinding that but if you do X/Y challenges I'd be game.

I completely agree. Less knowledge the better.

Alright maybe I'll do a test run of this tonight using this site MB sent me:
https://www.pokecheck.org/
I'll stream a battle or two and link the VOD after and people can tell me if it's worth it.
Essentially we'd either do the battles like this or MB will capture them somehow and get me the video to cast over (less likely).
And this way I can feel like I matter somehow in all this Pokemon business.

pfft My team is probably going to suck and I'll lose. I've never min/maxed Pokemon before so I'm just going hard.

i havent played sine gen IV, but i cant really imagine how you gonna win vs 6 lvl 25 pokemons
but i also dont know what whitney level is, so whatever
|
But if they're level 20 I can't have Flygon or Gengar yet. I refuse

Whitney is GEN2 gym leader. She's the normal type leader. She isn't too difficult until she sends out Milktank. Her Milktank will give you nightmares.
|
Its 6v3 so you don't have to try THAT hard to create the perfect team. It will just be funny when you lose.
|
United States47024 Posts
6v3 means nothing when Moonbear's Pokemon are strong enough to OHKO your entire team.
|
Yeah assuming he has max IVs, EV trained to 20, and good natures and most people will just randomly grab six level 25 Pokemon...
I expect lots of people will wipe to him in a 6v3.

pff, i owned that milktank as a kid

I mean, in the end this is just a ploy for MoonBear to wipe people out level 20 vs 25 2v6 and publicly humiliating people. Even if you Bearly win with your 6th level 25 pokemon, the real winner is MoonBear.
|
the obvious solution is to just beat moonbear with one pokemon

Question is: Does anyone have the balls (or ball, hue) to go into battle with MoonBear with just 1 level 20 pokemon?

If 'whitney,' 'cute gym,' and that picture of Minccino are hints that he's using normal type pokemon you could probably sweep with Lucario super easy if you train it right. But then again if you incorrectly guess what his gym type is (or if he just has 2-3 assorted types) you're fucked.
|
lucario is technically too legendary to be used

We need to set up a TL LoL staff Pokemon league. MB already has his cute gym. Neo = dark gym, Yango = final boss.

In BW2 you can catch Riolu without much effort at levels 5-7 at the Floccesy Ranch.

Sure, but you don't have to fight me more than once! Too lazy for this.
I can imagine my team being something like
Lapras
Sylveon
Ninetales
Ampharos
Gardevoir
Articuno

It's just sitting in my bag, I probably won't even play until like 11 o'clock or something.

The original GB Cartridges use CR2025 batteries, so with a small screwdriver and some patience it can be replaced.
