Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

I will talk to Jarn about teams of all one species, as opposed to multiples of the same species, and probably with the restriction of being non-legendary, non-fully evolved. One of us will report back soon.

It would make me sad fighting a full team of Woopers.

It'd mean I'd have to hurt them D:

I wasn't the one chiefly worried about restrictions to protect fun.

Mostly, this was Jarn's idea because people get pissed that someone is a competitive meta-game battler, while they're just in it for the lulz, and then they get their arses handed to them. Jarn wanted to protect those players.

Take that ruling up with him, when he gets back. I find it ironic that we're trying to preserve the fun of the casual duels and people are getting upset about it. Personally, it's a bit vague for my tastes – that we can rule what is abuse and what isn't – but it -is- a real issue that some people just want to casually battle and others want to use real competitive techniques.

Personally, I do a mix of both – I'd never last one day on Shoddy Battle with the teams I build – but I do draw from competitive move combinations as I make the teams I want.

Just some food for thought.

Bwahahahha.

Just going to say, that the average player on Shoddy... well sucks. Someone like you probably would win their first few matches. And no, Fate, near the top, it gets a lot harder.

I meant, I expected you to say something like "that's why Pokemon online is better" ^_^

Pokémon online is better as a program I meant.
The skill level is the same as what you'll find on Shoddy.

Really? Don't the national tourneys have weird rulesets about doubles and ubers and stuff? That's pretty cool, anyway.

Anyway Gwydd, I totally understand the need to protect more casual players. The problem most people are having lies in the vagueness of the thing.

Not normally.
They allowed a select few ubers [2 per team] for the last one for some reason...but hey, it let me use my Mewtwo.

And I still think December is a bad idea.

The time where most people are off from school/college is a bad idea to you? Why not hold it in April and May when everyone's busy with finals then?

The ONLY reason December might be a bad idea is because of Dark Dawn, yeah? And tbh that point was mostly just me being silly, though it very well might mess me up.

Bah, if only I had WiFi!

Fine! I'll run my own Tournament one day! With blackjack! And hookers! On Pokemon Online or Pokemon Lab! Then people without WiFi can participate.

I believe it's still in December. Depends on whether Jarn has any dissapearences and whether Gwydd starts being active again I guess.

*Also needs to power level 1 mon*

Also anyone have any clue whether the auto-level on the 1st group thingy will be set 50 or 100? just wondering.
