wrong? please read my explanation more closely.

also, i know the jiggly team, with the magic guard weather, i'm very familiar lol

It's more of an anti-lead. That's all I'm going to say.

**eastsideman09** · 10-2-2013, 12:37 PM

Wolfxhunter has like 3 minutes before he's skipped.
Edit: I guess that means it's Charu's pick

**Arkuski** · 10-2-2013, 09:36 PM

Okay guys i am going to send all of you an inbox asking for a team of six please respond by the end of the week if this works out we can get started sooner thx bye

**Charu** · 10-2-2013, 09:41 PM

I say again: "I did not sign up for this."

Saying this now before things happen.

I sent PMs to everyone except for you, so don't worry dude, I'll take you off the OP as well.

Keep sending in those teams though!

**Dark_Chrysalis** · 10-3-2013, 01:12 PM

Sending in whole teams is a great idea, but the way it will be handled is less than great. Instead of stopping the "draft" right at the 1st duplicate, I say just take the next pokemon down the line for that person and continue on. And once someone doesn't have a pick left, you can tell them to put the rest of their picks in. I think people are going to pick duplicates a LOT more than you think, which means a LOT of resends if we stop every time there's a dupe. As an example for my revised method:

In this way you can at least get a good amount of the Pokemon you originally wanted for your team (I would say realistically everyone should get at least 3) and just fill the holes in with the next resend, and so on. It should hopefully stop less often as well since different people will need to fill in different holes, with different Pokemon. Obviously this method takes a little more work and care on Arkuski's part, but hey you organized this thing.

**YoshL** · 10-3-2013, 03:18 PM

the reason for doing the multiple sending in is because upon discovering that you've hit a roadblock and one of your pokemon have been taken, it can drastically change your team.

This. I thought YoshL was advising me to use the method you described DC, but look earlier in the thread at the response I gave.

**Dark_Chrysalis** · 10-3-2013, 04:59 PM

I guess we'll see. In either case its at least faster than waiting on individual picks.

**TC_Pr0** · 10-3-2013, 06:12 PM

If we're sending in a whole team, scratch my prior Salamence pick please.

Team: Ninetails, Venusaur, Exeggutor, Darmatian, Xatu, Victini

**eastsideman09** · 10-3-2013, 06:40 PM

^Case in point why the whole draft would need to be stopped. Anyone who sent in a sun team now has to rethink their whole strategy now that Ninetails is off the board.

**YoshL** · 10-3-2013, 06:51 PM

fuck you tc_pro you're not getting that whole team not everyone can have a sunny day team *steals venusaur*

**igotrhythm** · 10-3-2013, 07:27 PM

Isn't the point of a draft to make the best of what everyone else leaves you, thus making teams centered around a specific strategy all but impossible?

Now I'm kicking myself for not taking Politoed.

yes, which is why i think it might be more interesting to have like a 1st gen draft, like i think was mentioned a while back

I wouldn't say impossible, it just depends on who you get. It's not 'impossible' to run a weather-dependent strategy without an auto-weather inducer for example, just not as practical.

I have a few teams in mind, all of which depend on who I can get with my first pick. Some Pokemon are very versatile, and certain 'roles' can be filled by a number of Pokemon. I'm not expecting my team to turn out how my first submission looks at all lol.

**Arkuski** · 10-5-2013, 02:26 PM

Still waiting on 4 teams

**Tim Allen** · 10-7-2013, 07:49 PM

Gardevoir, Lopunny, Milotic, Virizion, Glaceon, Miltank
I just searched for the sexiest Pokemon on Gaia and got this list.

**YoshL** · 10-7-2013, 08:27 PM

pretty sure you were supposed to pm the teams lol

**Tim Allen** · 10-7-2013, 08:27 PM

i wanted everyone to know what they were up against

I think people are going to pick duplicates a LOT more than you think, which means a LOT of resends if we stop every time there's a dupe. As an example for my revised method: D_C: keldeo, garchomp, salamence, jirachi, latias, mienshao YoshL: garchomp, volcarona, salamence, tyranitar, starmie XelNya: gardevoir, latios, jellicent, reuniclus, chandelure, jirachi TC_Pr0: landorus-t, blissey, chandelure, terrakion, rotom-w, magikarp, ROUND 1 D_C: keldeo, garchomp, salamence, jirachi, latias, mienshao YoshL: garchomp, volcarona, salamence, tyranitar, starmie XelNya: gardevoir, latios, jellicent, reuniclus, chandelure, jirachi TC_Pr0: landorus-t, blissey, chandelure, terrakion, rotom-w, magikarp, ROUND 2 D_C: keldeo, garchomp, salamence, jirachi, latias, mienshao YoshL: garchomp, volcarona, salamence, tyranitar, starmie XelNya: gardevoir, latios, jellicent, reuniclus, chandelure, jirachi TC_Pr0: landorus-t, blissey, chandelure, terrakion, rotom-w, magikarp, ROUND 3 D_C: keldeo, garchomp, salamence, jirachi, latias, mienshao YoshL: garchomp, volcarona, salamence, tyranitar, starmie, alakazam XelNya: gardevoir, latios, jellicent, reuniclus, chandelure, jirachi TC_Pr0: landorus-t, blissey, chandelure, terrakion, rotom-w, magikarp, ROUND 4 D_C: keldeo, garchomp, salamence, jirachi, latias, mienshao YoshL: garchomp, volcarona, salamence, tyranitar, starmie, alakazam XelNya: gardevoir, latios, jellicent, reuniclus, chandelure, jirachi TC_Pr0: landorus-t, blissey, chandelure, terrakion, rotom-w, magikarp ROUND 5 D_C: keldeo, garchomp, salamence, jirachi, latias, mienshao YoshL: garchomp, volcarona, salamence, tyranitar, starmie, alakazam XelNya: gardevoir, latios, jellicent, reuniclus, chandelure, jirachi TC_Pr0: landorus-t, blissey, chandelure, terrakion, rotom-w, magikarp We now stop since XelNya has no picks left. We wait for him to submit 2 more picks, and at this time everyone that is currently missing a pick can submit one as well so the draft continues quickly after it starts... CURRENT TEAMS DC: keldeo, salamence, jirachi, latias, mienshao Yoshl: garchomp, volcarona, tyranitar, starmie, alakazam XelNya: gardevoir, latios, jellicent, reuniclus TC_Pr0: landorus-t, blissey, chandelure, terrakion In this way you can at least get a good amount of the Pokemon you originally wanted for your team (I would say realistically everyone should get at least 3) and just fill the holes in with the next resend, and so on.
