IV training is the reason why I don't play this game as much.
Honestly, it is really stupid.

My edited version of that post is much better.
and its not a NO EVs rule its just a no EV training rule. Just a very casual league, get the pokes you like and fight. Its a nice idea, I don't know how it'll work out.

Ah, but what happens if the laws of probability were greatly in your favor, resulting in you fighting nothing but Magikarps and Machops with your level 1 Sneasel? :P

I can't not have EV trained pokes.
Four of my steel gym guys are actually members of my competitive teams.
And the other two I have been considering to add in some format for a while.
I'm basically just on the fence on what kind of Lucario would be best and then I'm ready to go steel-pro.

That's what makes the idea stupid. Maybe if they had no EVs at all it'd be good.
IV training is literally the reason I play this game
<
See I'm not the only one
What I mean is that Pokemon has gotten to the point for me where IV training and EV training are what's left because the games themselves are not hard to play through. The end-game is what I'm buying those games to do, and the end-game is very much an IV/EV world for the most part.
If I ever find my Diamond cart and someone wants very-good-but-not-perfect IV scythers I have them. I am TRIPPING in them.
I've toyed with the idea in my head, since your pokes auto-level to 50, of a league where everyone just breeds pokemon for IV's, doesn't train them at all, and fights with them using the moves bred into them and just the IV values. I think it'd be neat.

Huh, thanks for the explanation on IV\EV's. Personally, I'm going to worry about IV\EV when I run out of stuff to do, so should be a while.

I finally beat Sapphire! Those 54 levels grinding with Shroomish finally payed off. 100% sleep and he almost always goes first? Awesome! I had to spend some of my hoarded Ethers/Elixers to refill PP, but that's why I'd been saving them. Everyone on the party actually did something and took down something. Breloom, Manectric, Swalot, Pelipper, Glalie and Torkoal.

Munkus in the 'Casual Friday' league is going to make many people stop playing, once they've played him. For sure.

Speaking of which, how common is that? People dropping the starting pokemon?
Hey, SE++ has gym leaders now, how come we haven't started our own G&T gyms?
I believe we were trying too, let me find you the link.
Updated Rules so far.
No Legendaries
After the battle if the gym leader is defeated he/she trades a baby of one of the pokemon he/she used to the others (Much like Gym leaders give you a TM after defeat)
Gym Leader Determines type of Battle (IE Doubles or Singles, and How many Pokes and Item Clauses) and switching, within reason.
How's this sound for basic guidelines?
Poison -- Eeveelution (My Team is going to Be. Drapion, Tentacruel, Roserade, Muk if I can manage to get one, Toxicroak, Crobat)
Water -- Chen and Jars can fight for it, looks like Chen had first call
Grass -- Butler
Bug -- Bugboy
Steel -- I think mankus mentioned it
Pyschic -- RockinX
Dragon -- Open
Ground -- Jars Perhaps?
Rock -- Open
Ice -- Professor Hydron
Electric -- TC4T
Fire -- Open
Flying -- Open
Dark -- Open
Normal --InvisibleInk
Fighting -- Enlong (There you Go)
Ghost -- Open
Also the ability to record battles for show if possible.

Put me down for Rock when things get going somewhat, already have a mono rock team that somewhat works. Should be even better if i can add in 2 non-rock poke's.

I suspect pretty common in cases like Torchic where it evolves from an adorable birdie into a hideous drag queen and people drop it out of sheer shock and/or disgust.

I like Blaziken way better than Swampert or Sceptile.

And the other two I have been considering to add in some format for a while.
I'm basically just on the fence on what kind of Lucario would be best and then I'm ready to go steel-pro.
Munkus you do realize that they expect you to not have any EV-optimized dudes, right.
Like, I'm pretty sure they'd tell you to just use your EV'd dude as breeding stock and train up some new guys.
Uh, EV training isn't banned. And it would kinda go against the spirit of the 'casual' attitude to make me go breed and train whole new pokes instead of using the ones I have.

It's not banned but it's heavily discouraged, which kind of makes bringing a team of min/maxed OU motherfuckers a bit unsporting.

Min/Maxed OU guys? On my Steel-Gym team?

Every single Pokemon on this team is OU. Which wouldn't be a big deal in and of itself, but between that and the fact that you're training them right, no one is gonna be able to beat you, because they're not operating on the same field of play.

In November and December, I couldn't be doing something other than breeding for perfect IVs in Emerald.
Honestly, it is really stupid.

Though that isn't really saying much.
Bah! Sceptile is awesome.
Yeah it's awesome, I love all the dinosaur-mons (Meganium, Aerodactyl, Grachomp, etc)
Grovyle (based on a feathered dinosaur, the link between dinosaurs and present-day birds) is probably the coolest.
Grovyle features on my NFE Evolved Super Cute/Badass team that I went through Platinum with.
Quilava, Grovyle, Totodile, Vibrava, Lanturn and Riolu, I think.

Kingdra, Salamence, Altaria, Dragonite, Gabite, Flygon.
The rule would be NO ICE TYPES.
