In Game Team

[wraith89]

Most strats also works in-game too, so give it a try
However, with the IVs and hidden power and a few other stuff, there are some differences, not to mention some event pokes like Jirachi and Celebi are otherwise unobtainable.

Shoddy can be downloaded at shoddybattle.com. Project Pokemon also has their own server.

Yeah, that's true. I did, however, obtain a Jirachi through wifi trading in my pearl then later gave it over to my platinum. Doesn't make much of a difference but maybe I should look up strategies for it!

While we're not a mecha for competitive battling, and I like seeing diversity in RMT forums, most in-game RMTs consist of this:

*6 pokemon +moves*
*people comment on moves*
*repeat*

But at the same time, I know that a well balanced team can help in the main 8 gyms + E4 game. Sure, you CAN beat everything with a level 100 Caterpie if you REALLY wanted to, but it's frustrating.

So, here is what I was thinking of implementing, and everyone please feel free to comment on my ideas, modify them, or suggest your own:

• One thread for all the typical in-game stuff. 6 random Pokes, nothing else. And when posting it, pretend you are on at least the 7th gym, so by that time your Pokemon have evolved.
  
• Of course, Battle Tower/Frontier teams can have their own individual threads.
  
• If you're making an interesting gimmick team for in-game completion, that can warrant it's own thread. Some mono type, or Luvdisc/Unown/Feebas play through. You know, some type of theme.

I spent like 5 minutes thinking about this, so I'm sure you all can think of something better.

Like the official small questions thread in DPP forums and Wifi trade? Yeah, I think in-game teams should be in one thread while competitive teams can have their own RMT threads. In that case, I think I can merge some threads here and we can continue off that way.

This one thread should have a sticky if it really is going to come to be. I think its a good idea. Lots of people have gimmicks for beating gyms and playing through the game. Like playing through the game with just using a starter or using just bugs. Plus it can help all the people that might actually struggle with beating a gym or the elite four. I know it took me 4 times in platinum before I could finally beat the elite four and the champion. First flint stopped me, then lucian, then cynthia...hehe 4th times the charm.

Good idea randomspot555

[wraith89]

Ugh. I just merged a thread from the DPP discussion about in-game thread... and apparently since it was made earlier it went first X_X

Closing dis. But leaving it viewable so people can copy/paste their posts from this thread to mine.
