I can't find anything in the thread, but what's the stance on bulking up "gym" teams with vitamins and items and such?

[aly_angelflight]

Well, you can't use items in battle other than your Pokemon's held item, but enforcing a "no vitamin" rule is kind of impossible.

Besides, I know plenty of us (including Conia himself) have been Super Training our Pokemon, and that's pretty much the mini-game equivalent of using vitamins.

[Conia]

There's a very high probability that every pokemon team, challengers and gyms, will be fully trained regarding vitamins for stats. In more in-depth words, most pokemon if not all are gonna be fully EV trained.
Regarding held items, all pokemons are strongly suggested to carry items as they have a huge impact in battles. There's also no limits for items, you can use all the available ones. You can even have 2 or more pokemons holding their megastones in the same team, just remember that the game only allows one to happen per trainer.
As for battle items, such as Potions, Full Heal, etc. I don't remember right now if they are available in 6th gen as they were in 5th gen, but if the option exists, the gym trainer has the right to call it on or off for the battle.

I hope that answers everything ^^

Not quite sure on Badge name or design yet; ideas/suggestions are always welcomed though.

Like Meme just did, everyone can open up their gyms if they feel their gym teams are ready to go!! And be sure to challenge the gym leaders as well!

Also, let me write about some thoughts regarding E4, I would love some feedback on them!

1- Challengers that earn 8 badges will be able to be part of the E4, also will be able to make a new team for the E4, since they are still themed. Also the challengers that earn 8 badges will be able to challenge the others E4. If a challenger earns 8 badges and beats 4 E4 members, they will be crowned Champion.
So, basically, the E4 is made on the fly, there is no problem with having a Gym team and a different E4 team, and there can be multiple champions. This idea probably has some loopholes, but it's enough to get the season started and polish the details as we spot them.

2- Skip the E4, challengers who earns all the available badges are crowned as champions, but it can also be tweaked to allow only one Champion, which will be passed down to the Champion's challenger if they defeat said Champion. The first person to earn all the badges is automatically crowned Champion without battling, but can be the only one to challenge a Champion if they lost this status before. The rest of the players, if they lost their Champion status, cannot re-challenge for the rest of the season.

3- Been giving it some thought for a while and I'm still torned about centralizing the whole project, but listening to others opinions about it won't hurt:
Since not many players have been fond of being E4, by resigning being Gym Leader, I propose that I take charge of the whole E4, where I'll make 4 different themed teams. There's 2 options:
- Making the themes based on type, but the 4 teams have to be defeated in a row or it's a start over, classic E4.
- Making the themes based on team strategy: Offensive, Defensive, Gimmicky and SwitchForbidden. They can be defeated in any order and there's no starting over.
Type-themed will be Steel, Rock, Dragon and Fire, in that order. Steel will be Rotation Battle. Rock will be Triple Battle. Dragon will be Single Battle. Fire will be Double Battle.
Strategy-themed Offensive means 6 pokemon with high offensive stats and poor defensive stats. Defensive means 6 pokemon with high deffensive stats and poor offensive stats. Gimmicky means pokemon that based their strategies on odd/unnatural moves and abilities. SwitchForbidden means exactly that, a 6v6 battle where switching, either manually, by a move( U-Turn, Volt Switch, Parting Shot), item(Eject Button, Red Card) or ability(Don't even bother bringing Shadow Tag), is not allowed for any of the battlers. Offensive will be Singles Battle. Defensive will be Single Battle. Gimmicky will be Double Battle. SwitchForbbiden will be Single Battle.
Gaining all the badges will make the challenger able to challenge the E4. The Champion system will be the same as the one on point #2. Also, I would still run the fairy Gym.


I hope I didn't forget anything, feel free to leave other E4 ideas as well, so we can finally make one!

I kinda like 2. Easier to organize and keep track of.
