I have been trying to start an oregon Pokemon Video game league for a long time, but i have a lack of enthusiasm among participants.
so does anybody here want to give this a try?

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #1 on:** August 17, 2009, 06:47:31 pm »

Sure why not it sounds cool to me
but just to let you know i dont live anywhere near the portland area

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2 on:** August 17, 2009, 06:49:46 pm »

oh freaking hells yeah!

Oh Griff, we can get people to drive us down there, not like weekly or anything, but monthly maybe.
btw I live around where Griff lives, in case you didn't figure that out.

xcthulhux · « **Reply #3 on:** August 17, 2009, 07:12:00 pm »

awesome.
looks like we already have a decent group, as i know 4 or so other people that would want to do this.
now would you want to do it like the card league where we have places where people go to earn badges, and have tournaments weekly and such, or would you want to have 8 gym leaders, 4 elite four members, and a champion like the video game leagues?

soundninja12 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 17, 2009, 07:59:15 pm »

I like the 8 gym leader thing, considering the two of us live 3 hours away, that is assuming you live near/in portland.

I'll see where I am in October, money-wise. I'm going to start looking for a second band to join; preferably one that will have some shows BEFORE I become busy again.

Need to make some money; also need to NOT have a job, because those are too restrictive and not conducive to my career development.

ANYWAY. I still really want to get into Mario Kart DS, and will certainly be dropping another $25-$30 for whatever DS pokemon game I can find first when I do. Pokemon pretty much isn't awesome unless you're hanging out with friends to play, so I'd definitely be down for this ****. I can bike pretty much anywhere inside the Portland Metro Area once or twice a week. If I can get a ride, I can go pretty much anywhere any time I don't have class or practice with my band(s).

ha~ma · « **Reply #8 on:** August 17, 2009, 10:24:09 pm »

I'd be willing to host a netbattle server so everyone here can play pokemon for free. That way people wouldn't have to commute.

sounds cool, once you drop that 25-30, we could hang out and i could teach you the ways of a pro

Alright. I have some unresolved debts that are unfortunately pushing it back, otherwise that would be coming along early September. :<

If I could trade the possibility of ever being rich with the guarantee that I would never be poor, I think I'd take that.

well, keep trying.

so guise.
because i am made of awesome, i will be more than happy to write up the rules/regulations, but we are most likely going to have to have a meeting to discuss them.
so.
what time would be best for everyone else, because i generally have a pretty open schedule.
also, where would we meet, what would we need to bring, etc.

Xigbar · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2009, 05:38:21 pm »

It dosen't matter to me, as long as I can get there by bus/max. I'm up for it :3 I've been looking for an excuse to play PkMn with other people

leonmasteries · « **Reply #14 on:** August 24, 2009, 05:40:46 pm »

that sounds awesome, but there should be limits to what people can use (pokemon wise) and who would be the 8 gym leaders and the elite 4?

Xigbar · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2009, 05:42:45 pm »

if I could, i'd wanna be in the elite 4 or at least the final gym leader :3

leonmasteries · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2009, 05:44:48 pm »

I know what you mean, I have been dealing with lvling my pokemon lately, and have a majority of them up to around 60, but will still need to finish... At least I have all my favorites... But like I said, there need's to be some rules to fallow, like weather or not to allow legendary's or not, if there's a lvl cap per gym battle, stuff like that... But if that's the case, I need to work on getting my pokemon up to max.

Xigbar · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2009, 06:05:41 pm »

My Empoleon [Roxas] is at 100, he's the only one up that high, everyone else is 1-76

leonmasteries · « **Reply #18 on:** August 24, 2009, 06:10:41 pm »

nice, I have a nice group of pokemon myself, but like I said, I need to know if legendarys are allowed or not.

Randomman29 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:05:52 pm »

So are we do battles over Wi-Fi with this?
I can join I just need to know are you using the rules you posted here, Gamestop rules(I'm still using them because I won PBR following them)or VGC rules?

that would be a good idea actually, that way, we could do this while at home so that way we don't have to worry about finding a place, as for a meeting, right now, I am pretty much stranded until Kumoricon when I'll be getting a ride down there... But otherwise, it's going to be hard at this moment until my car get's fixed.

Xigbar · « **Reply #21 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:28:56 pm »

I can't do it over Wi-Fi since I've got no Wi-Fi out here in forest grove. I'd have to go to a place with Wi-Fi

You don't even have a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector?

Xigbar · « **Reply #23 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:48:39 pm »

Nope I'm dirt poor right now :/ Sad isn't it? I was gunna buy one but I never did

leonmasteries · « **Reply #24 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:59:08 pm »

I know there's a program that allows for people to actually play pokemon online... I just don't think you can actually change the elite four or not.

Randomman29 · « **Reply #25 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:02:21 pm »

If you can make it here :The Coaching Center 4750 Village Plaza Loop Eugene.
There's free WiFi but it also has those that want to play the card game.

Xigbar · « **Reply #26 on:** August 24, 2009, 09:15:11 pm »

dunno where that is.. nor do i think I can get there by trimet

Randomman29 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:29:03 pm »

It is a bit far but I was just putting it out there for anyone that can get to Eugene easily(or is in Eugene already) that there is a place for pokemon fans to come to that has free Wi-Fi.
But it is every other Saturday so I'll probably be the only one from here there.

Xigbar · « **Reply #28 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:35:09 pm »

I'd have to find a place like that in P-Land or between Forest Grove and Beaverton

soundninja12 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 26, 2009, 11:41:00 am »

I could only do the card version.
I'm AMAZING at the card game, and if anyone else is in to it, I would love to make that pokemon league as well.
Dibs on being Erica (I was planning on ordering her deck)

xcthulhux · « **Reply #30 on:** August 28, 2009, 12:02:47 pm »

so im thinking that the saturday after kumoricon would be the best time to have a meeting.
does anyone here object to the meeting being at my house, or would you guys rather have it in a public place.
either is fine with me, as long as i can get there via trimet.

if anyone objects to coming to my house (beaverton/aloha) than i think we should meet at pioneer square

any suggestions/objections?

leonmasteries · « **Reply #31 on:** August 28, 2009, 12:18:44 pm »

I hope I can, but my car is carp and barely runs... So I will try with all my might to drive down there.

yeah, fish (carp especially) don't generally run.
don't push it too hard, and remember to feed it every 15 miles.

I'll remember that, thanks for the tip... But I meant crap... I hate typo's.

xcthulhux · « **Reply #34 on:** August 28, 2009, 01:01:42 pm »

i actually love typos because they become fun when you play off of them. like i did.

anyway, i think that each gym leader/elite 4 should have 2 types.

we will have to have a tournament on that day to see which gym leader/elite 4 everyone is going to be.
i don't know if we will have enough people to fill the spots though.

Pajamurai · « **Reply #35 on:** August 28, 2009, 01:47:43 pm »

um, do any of you actually EV train or use natures and such? Or use shoddy battle to practice? If no then I'll stay clear I suppose. Though if you actually know how to battle then sure I'll join.

eternal-spring · « **Reply #36 on:** August 28, 2009, 01:56:08 pm »

I'd be with Pajamurai, and I am interested.. I wouldn't mind being a gym leader; would these be based on in-game trainers?

i don't know about others, but i follow standard rules, ev train, iv breed, play shoddy etc.
i have been in the competitive scene for a long time.

Pajamurai · « **Reply #38 on:** August 28, 2009, 01:58:16 pm »

I just got competitive this generation really, if we can get some more competitive users then I'm up for it.

Man of the Public · « **Reply #39 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:04:20 pm »

I'm what I like to call "Barely Competitive" I know how to EV train, Breed for natures and IVs, play shoddy, and rule Smogon, I just can't be arsed to do that for everything.

xcthulhux · « **Reply #40 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:07:31 pm »

i think that most of us here are competitive, and no, the leaders will not be based off of in game leaders.
i think after the first meeting i will create a website.
does anyone so far object to the meeting being at my house in aloha?

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #41 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:09:59 pm »

I don't object

Randomman29 · « **Reply #42 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:13:29 pm »

I would like to join but I would prefer to battle through Wi-Fi.

leonmasteries · « **Reply #43 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:24:18 pm »

dangit, now I really want to get down there for the meeting and try my luck at becomeing a gym leader... even tho I will probably be at a disadvantage.

xcthulhux · « **Reply #44 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:29:30 pm »

i want this to kind of be an IN PERSON kind of league, similar to the TCG leagues.

i think we should talk to a gaming store somewhere on the max line, and see if we can get the league started there.
that way we will always have a meeting place, and it can feel more official.

oh ya, that's a great idea... if worse comes to worse, is there another place people could use that's open for long periods of time? like a library?

xcthulhux · « **Reply #46 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:33:43 pm »

i know tigard library has rooms, but they are small, and it is a bit out of the way.

other than that, i don't know.
all i know is that when there are pokemon players, there is a lot of noise.
so libraries are pretty much out if they don't have free rooms.

also, how would the league run out of a library anyway, it wouldn't work because we need to accept challenges and stuff.

leonmasteries · « **Reply #47 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:37:24 pm »

because do to it being on ds, we sit down and battle each other, that's how we ran our yugioh toarnament's for a few years up in Chehalis. But it could work quite easily, as long as we're somewhat quiet, and it's free, so you don't have to worry about renting space like in other places.

xcthulhux · « **Reply #48 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:40:10 pm »

i will look into it.
im thinking about maybe doing it at like a starbucks or a godfathers the first few times.

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #49 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:41:00 pm »

Why not set it up here on the forums.
i know some of us dont have wifi but we can set times and such.
and if you want to fight someone just send them a pm and ask
