This is the official guild thread for the Elemental Elites, branching off from the 17 trainers thread. That thread has posts from people just posting what their teams would be, but not everyone who posts in it are on the team. This is a new thread just for future guildies, and I'll want everyone to sign in. Just post your name and the pokemon type you'll specialize in. Chad29, the guild leader, will then post you. Otherwise this thread will be used to discuss things about the guild.
Info:
Each member will only use one chosen type. If a pokemon is at least part X type, then it can be used. If not, then you don't use it. For example, I'm a water trainer. I train anything that's purely or partly water, while I avoid other types. One exception is if a non water type evolves into a water type. Bidoof and Azurill are both normal types, for example, but they evolve into part or pure water types. Meaning it's ok for a water trainer to train one for the purpose of evolving it.
Remember, you only have to use your mono team when asked to represent the Elemental Elites. Other then that you are free to use any team you want.There will be 17 leaders, but the guild will have as many members as possible. Anyone who is not one of the 17 leaders can challenge a leader of their type and try to take the title. Three matches. Best two out of three wins. You can challenge other trainers if you'd like, but you can't take the title of top steel trainer if you're a water trainer.
In the beginning of the game, we will just have to take whatever pokemon we can find. However trainers will switch to a pokemon of their type as soon as possible. I don't expect to have immediate access to all types right from the start of the game.
We're using Pokemon Online as our way of battling online aside from within the MMO. This way we can hold guild tournaments without the hassle of having trained pokemon of a certain level and such. IN PO, the pokemon used will already be exactly as you'd like them. It's free for download.
Important note. You may choose whatever type you like Even if it's taken. we'd like all the types to be covered, but you don't have to avoid a type just because someone else has it. There will be more than 17 trainers in the guild if we can help it. You'll just have to compete for the title of Elite Trainer from time to time.
Go ahead and advertise in the metagame server of your choice. There's no harm in inviting people to the guild, or just to the MMO.
A new note is that we don't all have to be competitive battlers. You can use whatever pokemon you want. This should be made easier with what the balance team is doing, making the pokemon in general more balanced instead of having tiers and only about 20% of the roster being commonly used.
Another nice thing to know is the different clauses (rules and regulations) for competitive battling and official Pokémon Universe tournaments. You can find the different clauses with their explanation here:
