I hope Im not going off topic but there is a game that I play (tribal wars) and the goal is pretty much to conquer as many villages around you and grow as much as possible in the process. The game has an official site to where it keeps track of conquered villages etc.

Trying to relate this to stats in a way.....

I was wondering on the possibility of implementing a feature on the PU page similar to this. Where it tracks captured pokemon.  Track real-time tournament standings etc.

and hopefully a feature that includes viewing tournament PVPs in real-time.

Would this be do~able?

Fullmetal Alchemist is an anime not a tv-show

Its an anime that ocassionally comes on T.V.

And is shown at various times during the day/night.

Maybe, just maybe, we could add that when entering the PokéLeague (PvP), you will have to sign 10 pokemons up. This will allow any trainer to use a combination of those 10 when he/she chooses 6 to battle with as normally and then later on he/she can choose another combination of those 10 pokemons which are signed up.

Any opponent will be able to see which 10 pokemons are "in play" and the levels of them, but not which ones the player has chosen for his/hers next battle, nor any stat or move of the pokemons.

I'm not really into this idea. But that's my opinion. I'll state the pros and cons that I know of.

Pros - More variety for PvP battles, Know your opponent's pokemon, You can attempt to confuse your opponents.

Cons - It isn't so much fun (in my opinion), The creator(s) of pokemon gave us a 6 pokemon party already (why need 10? It's already possible to customize with 6), I don't like the "make a different party in between battles" method, because it's like giving handicap in your time of need (because when fighting the Elite Four of the pokemon games, they want to challenge you and they don't allow any handicaps like adding in and taking out pokemons in the 5 battles ahead, except for potions, and changing the order of the pokemon party).

I don't mean to offend anyone. I just wanted to state what I think.  =]

Like Kamaran said, the 10 pokemon idea would be limited to PVP Pokemon League matches.

In the anime's indigo League, a similar format was used so its nothing "illegal" about it.

I wouldnt mind seeing mi opponent sqirm after realizing that i have four level 80 metapods.

                   _____________________________________________________

But I was curious to know if EXP (IV/EV) would be gained in PVP matches?

A part of me wants Exp to be gained but another part of me wants to keep mi level 99 Gyrados at level 99 in order to qualify for the under 100 tourneys

                           ____________________________________________

Another question, that i have, has to do with player disconnections.

Out of pure noobiness, a player may decide to stall a match to avoid/defer the punishments that Dark mentioned earlier. Im sure some of you have played turn-based games and have been punished for leaving or verbally abusing the stalling player. I would not want to lose 40% of mi money and a horrifying disconnection percentage because of a few player's noobiness.

 To avoid all of that, a timer per move could be implemented.

Is there any plans for that?

First I want to say that the leaderboard is a good idea imo. But then there should be two leaderboards. Yes, two!

The first one should show the stats of the normal game. The second one should only be about events like tournaments. I think, only tournaments show who is skilled.

Or how about 4-5 leaderboards.

Im one of those guys that like to see where I rank among others. Even when i know that I horribly stink at something, the satisfaction of knowing that I did something better than the other guy keeps me going.


The leaderboard doesnt have to be too too extensive (maybe just top 25-50) but there could be one for :

• # of badges
• Player Exp

• A leaderboard for total lottery winnings (if that idea sticks)
• # of Pokemon

• Separate leaderboard for tournament standings
• If Kuhn's hunting idea goes through, there could be a board for # of hunting missions completed

Im sure there are many other things that could go along with the leaderboard idea.

Just offering a few suggestions

The best team ever would consist of pokemon with the most ridiculous names.

You can guarantee that your opponent has never heard of them and there is a chance that that pokemon evolves into something even more ridiculous (increasing its strength by 100)

There is a very extensive thread about legendaries in the staff-only area, and at the end of it we basically decided you won't be able to catch any of them, they will only be available for battling against or with during quests.

Yay!

Just wondering.

Are there any plans to make other pokemon uncatchable as well? Whether because they are too strong, too rare, or just plain ridiculous.

Maybe you could just limit it to starter pokemon? I don't think many people would mind it and 3*4*12 is only 144

I like that idea... but random question... what will be the options for starting pokemon? (~Directed to PU team or anyone that knows~)

Will it be the original three? bulbasaur,charmander, squirtle?
Johto three? totodile, cyndaquil, chikarita?
or others?

I dont know the other landmasses or any pokemon after Johto.
