Welcome to the Pokegym Wi-Fi League!

Here is the place for everyone to earn points for battles between league members. If you are a member here on the Pokegym, you all ready qualify to be a member on the Wi-Fi League.

As a member, you will have a ranking status based on your accumulated points, and you will be able to redeem your points for Prizes. Prizes are Pokemon that are rare, event, RNG'd, Shiny, ect....

So, what does a Wi-Fi League member need to do to participate in the League?

Here is what you will need to do:

There are three formats to choose from for your battles against other League members. Each format is designed for everyone to be able to have a fair battle and to have as much fun as possable. Before each battle, both players must agree to choose the format that you both wish to use for your battle.

The three formats are listed as follows, each format being designed for your choice:

Games that can be used in this league are:

Diamond, Pearl, Platnium, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Black, and White.

Format # 1:

The 2010 VGC format, excluding the use of 5th generation Pokemon.
Here is a link to the 2010 rules:http://www.pokemonvgc.com/en/regulations.php

Format # 2:

The new 2011 VGC format, excluding the use of 1st through 4th generation Pokemon.
Here is a link to the 2011 rules: http://www.pokemonvgc.com/en/event/46

Format #3:

Free battle

Both members must agree as to the style either single or double battles and what restrictions/rules they will battle under.

When both members finish their battle, both members must post in this thread the result of their battle.
Simply post who you battled and who won. BOTH members must confirm the battle results by posting their battle result and who they battled in order for points to be awarded.

**Bonus points**- Members will recieve 1 bonus point for posting the battle code they recieve in the thread when they post their battle results. For information on how you upload a battle video to the NWFC, refer to the games owner manual or use this link: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Battle_Video#Battle_Videos

Member points and ranking.

Every time you batlle, you will earn points and be placed in the ranking bracket based on how many total points you have earned. Redeeming your points will not lower your rank standing. Here is the points awarded system for your effort in the battles you have:

Each player will earn points based on whom they challenge. The higher the ranked player you challenge, the more points you earn.

Here is how the points are awarded:

Battle a player with in your current tier:
Win = 2
loss = 1

Battle a player in the tier above the one your currently ranked in:
win = 3 points
loss= 1 point

Battle a player who is two or more tiers higher:
Win= 5
Loss= 2

Players may not challenge another player in a lower tier then the one they are currently in.


Here is the ranking tier.

May I request that nobody post until Kayle has posted? Since Kayle and I are offering prizes it would be easiest if we both had a post each at the top of the thread that we can update.

EDIT: (So I don't spam up the thread) Yeah, I have a few ready-made Pokemon, although I need to get them cloned. I can do a few requests if you're busy, but I'd stick to the stuff I already have, for the most part.

5-6 actually sounds a little low, for my stuff. I literally have spent days (and, in rare cases, weeks) on some of these Pokemon, so they aren't going to be cheap. xD

EDIT: Ok, so I don't know how many points for each, yet, but I'm going to post the Pokemon I'm offering as prizes. There will be more, later, but I'm doing a ton of stuff right now...

Great idea, Pikamaster.

I'll edit this post once we've fully worked out how we want prizes to work. I take it you will be in charge of "ready-made" prizes, and I can do requested ones?

Edit (in keeping with the theme :p): Requests are a lot of work, but it will be all sorts of fun setting up my game to be able to quickly and easily obtain any Pokemon I need. As it is I have RNGing a Shiny down to about a fifteen, twenty minute process. Well, I did, a while back haha. It's not that hard to do, maybe with enough practice I can get IVs down.

Given that you get 1 point for a loss and 2 points for a win, how many games do you want a person to play, on average, before they can start getting prizes? I was thinking 5-6, but that may be quite high.

I offer unique RNG'd Pokemon, custom-ordered by YOU.

Prices will vary depending on what you offer, but I will try to stick to the guide given below. Easier requests will be a little cheaper. More commonly, difficult requests will be a little spendier! If you want something done that isn't listed below, go ahead and ask and I'll see what I can do.

GETTING STARTED SPECIAL: All rewards are significantly cheaper than advertised. But this won't last forever, so get started!

[del]BASE COST: 10 league points.[/del] No base cost as part of the "Getting Started Special"!

4rth Gen Egg-Hatchable Only At This Point. Sorry!!

Generic Specifiers:

NICKNAME: 0 points

NATURE: 1 point

GENDER: 1 point for 50/50 or favorable odds; 2 points for unfavorable odds

SHININESS: 8 points

Moveset Specifications:

LEVEL UP MOVES: 1 points per

TM MOVES: 4 points if TM is replaceable; 6 points otherwise

EGG MOVES: These will vary lots, because sometimes it's a huge pain and other times it's not. Generally, 3 points is about right.

Sorry, I can't do IVs right now - but they may become available in the future!

I'm still a tad confused about proceedures.

1. When we post in the "Wanna Play?" thread, do we say challenge someone specific there or send out a general "I want to play a league match" type message? Or can we challenge specific people we know are in the league via PM and post a public announcement if you will in the "Wanna Play?" thread?

2. Is there a specific form you'd like us to use in this thread when posting about our matches, such as:

Usernames of participants
URL of challenge post
Place to find verification video (I'm confused about how this is done as well..)
Outcome

Edit (lol):

Given that you get 1 point for a loss and 2 points for a win, how many games do you want a person to play, on average, before they can start getting prizes? I was thinking 5-6, but that may be quite high.

I think 5-6 sounds reasonable. I've never played the VCG outside of my home circle, but it seems reasonable because it makes you really work for the prizes, which means this league is less likely to die imo.

Yes, but on the flip side, one worries about requiring too much work for a decent return.

Maybe I could say, "Any request starts at 4 points", and after that I add on points based on factors such as shininess (maybe like +6), natures, evs, abilities, moves...
 
@Pikamaster's edit: That's true hahaha. My stuff is generally pretty basic though, whereas you are cloning and RNGing legends and stuff, aren't you?

I'll bump it up to between 6 and 8 points for very simple things and maybe 15-20 for more intricate requests. I might go up to 30 if the requestor is like, a jerk (I want a shiny Togepi with four egg moves!!!!!!!!1)
 
^ NOT a jerk, just a person willing to work harder for a prize who needs to build up the points while you work on getting it ready!
 
^After you upload the video, the screen will change to a second screen after the upload is sucessfull and display the 12 digit code.
 
Mods- is it possable to get this stickied so that this thread does not get to far listed down?-

Also- anyone who has further questions about this league, please use the dicussion thread to post in there, and I will respond as soon as I can. I hope I have every aspect of this covered thus far, and until black and white is added into this- this is set to run and be around as long as the Pokegym says otherwise, and members participate in this and have fun.
 
*pokes!*

I have updated my first post in this thread with a rough draft of request costs. To help get the league started and give some incentive to play, I've significantly lowered the cost of my prizes and will make some discounts even on the rates above (nature + egg move Pokemon with decent IVs for 4-6 points for example)!

Come on and play, guys! I know Black and White have stolen our attention, but...
 
I think this is going to be amazing, but I'll have to edit my team a little since I can't have
Dragonite and Tyranitar in the team at the same time
 
@kayle:

good to know ya got a list up- and a good insentive to get things going.
I myself and working on getting the rng mechs figged on white in the mean time, I also should get my list of offereable pokies as well.
 
Under reconstruction at this time- this is temporarily suspended.......
This idea is getting a face lift, and Black and White will be added.
 
working out a few more kinks, thanks for all of your patiance!
I hope to have this re-activated soon, just need to get some more info.
