    It'd only be neat because you'd basically have a trainer guy but then you'd have 6 different characters being controlled while you're a trainer, so you could basically swap roles on the fly, whenever you send a pokemon out you control that pokemon and it's little skill bar until you either faint or decide to swap for a different one

    but they'll never do it

    This might be good for situations where HMs are currently used, but I'd like the core battle and catching system to be fairly intact. Something like playing the anime. You'd have to be allowed to turn down challenges though.

    From pokemon to frank discussions on the pathetic nature of humanity.

    As long as people could not interrupt you catching a pokemon, I'd be fine with this. Maybe even excited.

    So guys, this is my current team:

    Jynx
    Scyther (evolving to scizor)
    Hariyama
    Aerodactyl
    Golduck
    Miltank

    I need some way to deal with water types. Someone with more experience, please tell me, what are my options?

    You could try an Ampharos or a Magneton.

    the idea of using forums to do gym battles is pretty rad, and I'm glad that happened

    I wish there were kind of an official thing like that though, where you could work your way up some sort of online leaderboard against other players

    and for each gym, there'd be a different track up to being a gym leader (and there'd be different sets of gym leaders for different regions) or whatever, and then gym leaders would work their way up to the elite four

    meanwhile everyone that didn't want to go that route would be taking on these gym leaders attempting to get badges, and would then once they had all the badges, they could go up against the elite four and the champion

    basically an expanded version of what's going on here, with official support and its own webzone

    No I want to keep my team but have some way of putting the hurt on water. I don't know what dudes can learn thunderbolt/grass moves etc, so I figured you guys probably do.

    I feel like the bratty kids would drop away at higher levels of play. Legendaries would logically be unobtainable or one of a kind. Actual strategy and proper training would become a requirement, so I'm not sure how many kids you'd be facing in tournaments, etc...

    Bring your Aerodactyl to the Blackthorn move relearner, and give it Thunder Fang.

    EDIT: Woah, double beaten.

    I was going to say that he likely didn't know that he could get his pokemon back, but it was a plain old Hoothoot.

    This sounds like he made a real mess for nothing.

    You don't need to be a kid to act like an ass on an MMO, as per John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

    You could also tutor ThunderPunch onto Miltank or Hariyama.

    Or teach Miltank Thunder or Thunderbolt with a TM.

    I really really like this idea

    however I feel like for the league champion a better route to take might be the anime way where everyone with the correct amount of badges gets into the tournament at the end and whoever wins the round robin is league champion

    also have dojos for each type that are just ways for more casual players to get stuff

    maybe give out prizes for those who win in dojos (the prize is a relatively rare pokemon of that type)

    The only problem I have with giving out prizes for people being victorious is Nintendo's Wifi.

    I mean fuck, sometimes it takes 30 minutes just to get the battle started.

    Otherwise yeah, it's a good idea.

    The Steel Gym has always been open.

    We've never closed.

    And I also have a few different pokemon champion teams I could use.

    Didn't we agree that if a gym leader became champ they should let someone else take over their gym or did we decide against that.
