The Giant League II: It's Super Effective! (Competitive Pokemon ITP)

[JustPlayItLoud]

I'll be going to bed in a bit, but will try to catch you later this week. What format so you use for the ground gym?

6v6 singles. The next couple weeks will be busy because until next Saturday I have three jobs instead of just two but I'm sure I can catch you online sometime.

All right. And yes - put five in your party, we do 1v1s in the order you have them in your party.

And okay. And just in case you didn't see the edit: it's 3v3 rotation, not 6v6 rotation.

Sounds good. Just need you to add me as a friend.

I know how that can be. I'll be on call the next couple weeks, but hopefully we'll find a time.

Okay, JPIL, you now have the Circuit Badge. I'll put you in. Can I challenge you? What are your teams and rules?

All I have ready right now is the Terra Badge, ground type. 6v6 singles.

Sorry just checked the time.

[JustPlayItLoud]

Sorry just checked the time.

No worries. I'm sure I'll be around despite balancing three jobs for a couple weeks. I haven't had nearly enough challengers so I need to make myself available anyway.


Also, I now have 8 badges! Guess it's time to show them off and hit Victory Road!

[DarkLightDragon]

I didn't get nearly as much time as I thought I would over the weekend. The grass gym will be a bit longer in the making, I'm afraid.

On the upside, I got my in-game leftovers on Y to send over to X!

[Quietus]

I'll try to catch you later, then. What format do you use?

In the spirit of bug gyms being among the earliest (aka being lazy/uncreative ), I run the classic 6v6 singles format.

That's fine, I like that format quite a bit, anyway.

I do like doubles quite a bit, too, but it's hard to build a single team that excels in Doubles as well as Singles.

Yeah, I know that feeling - pretty sure my bug team would get torn up in doubles. Well, maybe.

Anyway - dealing with a brutal headache again, think I've figured out the cause though. I'm a massive sugar fiend, and haven't had anything sweet in the last two days. I'm trying to cut back a little on the sugar intake, but I think I'm going to have a small allowance just to see if it helps to make my skull feel like it isn't about to split open. If that works, I'll be available for challenges; I'll update this post or reply to the thread in an hour if that's the case.

I may or may not be available. I'm having to catch up on paperwork and reading some stuff on biomechanics for a meeting tomorrow. Plus I'm on call, so I might have to go into the hospital if the decide they need a resident to come in.

Understood. If this snack works, then I know what the problem is and will have no issues for the majority of the week. And if you have to disconnect during the battle, I get that life happens.

[Quietus]

Looks like the skull-shattering headache has subsided! I'm on tonight, probably either breeding Squirtles or getting back into fighting shape for my gym, if anyone wants to challenge for the Carapace badge.

Glad you're feeling better! Unfortunately, I won't be on much if at all tonight. Just had a patient admitted to the hospital, and I have a lot of paperwork to catch up on.

Ah, understood. Here's to their speedy recovery, then!

What's your schedule for this week looking like?

[Quietus]

What's your schedule for this week looking like?

Depends, I appear to be getting hit with one health thing after another. Tonight is booked regardless - making sheppard's pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and then date night if I'm still conscious. Tomorrow I'm going to the dentist, may be on in the evening if I'm not too groggy. Don't think I have plans for Friday or Saturday currently.

@Rezzy or anyone else:

I'm firing up my 3DS now while I finish my pasta and work on a D&D character, so if anyone wants to try for the Terra Badge send me a battle request. 6v6 singles.

Sorry about the DC, be back on in a sec.

[Qwertystop]

I should be available most of today or tomorrow, given warning.

Congratulations on your fancy new badge. Good match, even if I played pretty stupid there.

I could have my second go at the Normal Gym, if you like. Same format as last time?

And good match JPiL!

Our match 883W-WWWW-WWW7-QXGF

EDIT:

I was debating as to whether to use Surf or Extrasensory on that Nidoking. I picked Surf, then remembered you had that Gastrodon.

Okay. Now works? Yeah, same format. My team's set up, ready when you are.

Sure, let me set up real quick.

Good win - two counters and a prediction game.

(if I'd used Magic Coat instead of Recover that would have been very different)

Hopping online now for anyone looking to battle or trade, finally getting the time and ability to relax a little.

I'd like to challenge the Bug Gym, if I could.

Sure thing, just give me a moment to finish something up and I'll send you a challenge.
