[@Balthazar007] I'm interested, but I'm not very competitive when it comes to Pokémon, so I'm a little worried about the Showdown aspect of the rp. Would it still be alright for me to join?

[@Balthazar007] I'm tentatively interested as well, but like Tenma I'm a little worried about the showdown aspect. I'm concerned that we will be somewhat forced, or at least encouraged, to create a team that is 'meta' rather than one we want to make in order to avoid being eliminated in a battle.

I understand your concerns, but I feel that Showdown is the fairest option to sort out battle results. I don't want to impilment a dice rolling system (too much luck involved instead of skill). And I don't want to just RP battle the whole thing, as that can degrade into aurguments that I want no part of. Showdown is (at the least) fair and true to the games.

I did impliment the 3000 base stat total for your party of six though. This should address the concern of people just picking a bunch of tanky Pokemon. 

In the end however, the league play is truly just a plot device, not the point of the whole thing. If your character gets eliminated from the tournament, it doesn't mean they are out of the story. They can still participate in the plot. They may even be able to focus on more important things if they get knocked out of the tournament. 

I hope you both decide to stay, but this is enough support for this RP to get started on it. I'll have something posted by tomorrow morning.
