Here's my preliminary movepool suggestion (may well change during the week). I started out by looking at moves that will allow our Spawn to deal with the weather setup users; Seed Bomb, Superpower...

I am incapable of artistry, but I am envisioning (for my Spawn #5 proposed stats and movepool in the works) something similar to Tani's idea: a larger, more streamlined body than Qwilfish's with...

HP: 90
ATK: 110
DEF: 95
SPA: 60
SPD: 80
SPE: 105

TOTAL: 540

I went with a slightly less bulky build, but my reasoning was that this can power through weather setup users with relative...

Can't wait to hear it when it's done!

Name: Anti-Weather
General Description: A Pokemon that can stop or be a check to a great majority of weather effects in play.
Justification: A Pokemon that can limit the overwhelming presence of...

Post chapter + link in original post definitely.
Oh, and nice story. I'll keep reading. :)

My reasoning for supporting the Item Clause is not as much that Eviolite is overpowering as it is that the clause leads to more interesting team combinations, where thinking outside the box becomes...

I like the Water/Poison typing for its relative scarcity and its interesting offensive capabilities. I don't think it'll become too much like a Tentacruel unless we specifically aim for that, it has...

Yes, in event battles; in normal battles Vulpix is banned, and there's no Item Clause. We're evaluating the usefulness of an item clause this round basically.

How is Item Clause tested? Is everyone forced to follow Item Clause in this event round? Just wondering, I'm in the process of building a team for this.

Smogon doesn't have an item clause on any tier. There are still lots of viable item options (gems, berries etc.), and Eviolite is basically the Leftovers replacement in the tier (but it's also used...

I would suggest Item Clause, which seems to be pretty much a site-wide thing here on PF. Eviolite everywhere isn't much fun, and it'll differentiate us from other sites.

Awesome event! I would love to get Tricholoma if possible. Thanks. :) FC in signature.

This looks like it's going to be very cool, and I want to sign up. I can help out with breeding, battling and writing guides.

PS: Does this mean we're using Smogon tiers across the board for now?...

Agreed. I don't know how we would do studies on the banned Pokemon though, perhaps have a periodic tourney where everyone could choose x (1-2) banned Pokemon on their team, and then gather opinions...

Yep, and the stat distribution is very different at level 5 compared to 1, so there's a larger spread in stats (especially important for speed). This guide is useful. Will we be implementing all the...

This could be interesting, having a level 5 battling option does sound attractive. It'd be cool to see how different the two low-level formats play too. Basically, I'm all for it! :)

No Castform? Okay then.. Posted my opinions on the choices earlier. Would be cool to see other people comment here as well! Don't be afraid to speak up!

I know that there are tons of those, hence why I don't want to make more like them; I feel like we can make far more interesting Pokemon by treading uncharted lands. That's just me though. I also...

Can I comment on the suggestions people make? I feel like we should discuss them too.. So here I go:
Torkoal - I like it, but I don't see how we would make something truly different from the Pokemon...

Cool! I like them. You might want to consider having them bordered to fit with the theme of the other badges on the site, but other than that they seem perfect for this.

I would like to nominate the following Pokemon:
:211: Qwilfish is very interesting: it has two great abilities in Swift Swim and (DW) Intimidate (and a less awesome one in Poison Point), a pretty...

I'm assuming it's because this is Gen V; easy IV checking is long gone, and we just have to trust the IV evaluator for our stats.

Then my double battle badge is *very* special. Not that I'm complaining. ;)
A sprite contest sounds like a great idea to me, I think we should try to incorporate other forum branches in these...

Will we use the same team throughout the whole tourney, or can we make changes underway? In other news, yep, I'm breeding a team now.
