Yeah I should be around to battle at that time (Midnight GMT right?)
EDIT: Actually I think it is 1am my time, so that may not be possible. Free tomorrow though.

Maybe all gym leaders would only be allowed to use "Relatively Superior" pokemon. That way we can still breed and use what we like.
That's... a wonderful idea.
I'd like to be able to enter, but unfortunately, I'm lacking time to make a competitive build, especially the breeding part. Besides, I'm just in the White post-game (TPP pushed me to try gen 5), and I have Black 2 to do at least before even starting X/Y.
I hope the idea is here to stay for a long time, GAF Gyms is, again, a wonderful idea.

Don't think that would helped much though. Not having a perfect IV on one of your less needed stats ( say def/sp.def for frail sweepers ) would still result in good competitive pokemons.
Just lost to Nbz in two close games - congrats
If you saved the Battle Video(s) and want me to add them, let me know (I recently started a new game and haven't gotten the Vs. Recorder yet).
I saved them both yeah!
Here are the codes:
K36W-WWWW-WWW6-7UZP
7V9W-WWWW-WWW6-7UP6
Honestly I could cripple myself pretty easily by just throwing away my potential for synergy. I was thinking if I find the time I could just make enough extra fossil pokemon to have a fossil team for handicapped battles.
Also, I feel lonely. No challengers yet!

Just had my first gym battle. Have to admit I was a little worried. GG PBalfredo!
0-2, Gym Leader wins.

Ah, you beat me in posting the videos.
GG. I focused a bit too much in trying to set up Stealth Rocks. In the second battle it just let you set up your own Shell Smash and it was over after that. Even if I tried to come out strong with Metagross and Charizard/Gastrodon, that Weavile's Fake Out probably would have foiled me still...

I can confirm this. Fun battles. I fared far better in the first one, and got absolutely destroyed in the second one as you had learnt to predict my movesBeat MicH 2-0
First game had me on the backfoot super early and I was sure I wasn't gonna come back into it, but man I somehow managed it. Crazy.
Anyway, 2 badges under my belt, think I'll call it a night

Yeah knowing your sets really helped me gain an advantage and not get destroyed early game haha

Yeah I find that rocks are far more important in singles.

The Water Gym should be open within the hour!

We should consider making a "Pokemon Pool". While breeding is the easiest part of getting into competitive play, it's also extremely boring and time-consuming and puts people off. I know most of us have stuff we can just poop out 5Vs of. I think if we all contributed a few hours of our time to that then it would go a long ways.
Consolidating everything would be the annoying part. Doable, though. While they would still have to EV train and level up the mons that is pretty straight forward this gen, especially if we spread the PokeRUS on our babies first.

The Water Gym is now open for business! And open to givin' you the business, too.
I and Aggrotek lost to UltimateIke and backlot in a Multi Battle. Well played, guys
On the topic of Multi Battles, I'd like to point out that the rule for challenging Gym Leaders to Multi Battles has changed slightly. Now, you only challenge one Gym Leader, who picks his or her partner from the remaining Gym Leaders.
We felt the previous rule was unbalanced in favour of the challengers; for example, if the challengers chose the Ice- and Bug-type Gyms, they would guarantee weaknesses to Rock and Fire and hence win easily by spamming those types of moves; since the challengers win both badges, this rule allowed challengers to acquire badges too easily.
The new rule still makes it worth playing Multi Battles, but evens the playing field a little for the Gym Leaders.

Thanks! It was cool to see you guys working together.
I guess Church RvB and JulianImp already know about this, so we'll drop that challenge. >_>
Sorry about that - I think I only won the second game thanks to never hurting myself in confusion. Looking forward to our rematch in the future; your team seems pretty fun!

Damn criticals screwed me over. I feel like I would've won that last match had it not happened. And possibly the first match as well

The Critical Hit Water Gym has been successfully defended.
Even without the crits, I was pretty sure that Waterfall was gonna kill Mawile anyways.

Oh yeah, you're right. Thought aqua jet had more power since I was using the crit aqua jet as a guage
No worries. I was surprised how fast and strong Nidoking was. I'm guessing Choice Scarf + Sheer Force?
Yeah, I totally used up all my "have my enemies punch themselves in the face" luck in the first fight against Drapion, but I needed it the most at the end of the second battle. I'm not sure if Sableye's Foul Play would have finished off Nidoking if King Fonzie hurt himself instead of attacking, but that was what I was hoping for.

Got your PM, my FC is in the OP (yay for abbreviations, I sound like a rapper in the '80's).
The dragon gym will be running for an hour.

Well, I guess I'll hold on to my badge, since everyone's ignoring me anyway
Don't worry, your gym, based on your type, can be very tricky, so people may get cautious.

Hmm, should I challenge the Dragon Gym?
