Welcome to the Pokebay League: Season Two!
Similar to many of the main series Pokemon games, the Pokebay League is a battle challenge consisting of a maximum of twelve Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and the Champion, all of them members of this site.
If you decide to challenge the Pokebay League, please take the time to read and familiarize yourself with the rules.
Will you have what it takes to reach the top?!
The official Battle Central page can be found
here. From here you can request a challenge, and this will be where personal gym badge records will be kept.
Challenger Rules & Regulations
Season Two will run from
April 19, 2016 to
June 30, 2016. Any badges won from previous seasons and/or versions (Season One) are void and will not count towards challenging the Elite Four.
The use of hacked Pokemon is
strictly forbidden. Penalties for not following this rule include the stripping of all badges and titles, or a permanent ban from challenging the league.
No Legendary or Mythical Pokemon (including Phione) are allowed in official league challenges.
A player's team may NOT contain two Pokémon with the same National Pokédex number (no teams of Rotom forms).
If you are the Champion, should there be any suspect of cheating or bad behavior, your title may be suspended or revoked, at the league members’ discretion. In this case, the former champion shall hold the position until the issue has been addressed.
Wild Cards are special Pokemon of a different type than a league member’s chosen type that they may use to assist them in battles. It can be any Pokemon, excluding legends, as long as it has at least one move matching the league member’s chosen type (ex. Rain Dance Bronzong in a Water type gym team).
Only
ONE may be present on a league member’s team at a time. Mega Evolutions will count as wild cards unless they share the gym's typing prior to Mega evolving (ex. Mega Ampharos will count as a wild card on a Dragon team).
It is up to the individual Gym Leader, Elite Four member, or Champion as to what battle format will be used.
Possible formats for battles include Normal Battle format and
Flat Battle format.
Quick guide to challenging the Pokebay League
If you have read and fully understood the rules shown above, then you are ready for the challenge! The following is a guide to help you get a kick start in your journey.
1. To start, jump down below and request a battle from any of the Gym Leaders in the list. If you manage to win against one of them, you will gain a badge to prove that you won.
Only EIGHT badges out of the maximum twelve are required to proceed to the Elite Four.
2. After earning eight badges from the Gym Leader challenge, you will be able to take on the Elite Four challenge. In the Elite Four challenge, most rules from the main games stay, such as the
inability to switch Pokemon during a run. You may, however, switch items and moves. If you lose a battle before the run is over (say you win two, then lose the third) you must start the run over again. To progress to the champion, you must
win four consecutive battles against them.
3. After defeating the Elite Four, you only have one final step in front of you: the Champion! The Champion may use a multi-type team, so be prepared! If you lose to the champion, you must restart the Elite Four challenge again. You must also use the same team you challenged the Elite Four with. If you win, you will ascend to the throne and the former Champion will step down and enter the Hall of Fame.
4. Congratulations! You have successfully completed the challenge.
Applying to become a Gym Leader
To become a Gym Leader for the Pokebay League, the only requirement to qualify is to be active on the site for
one month. After that, all you need to do is contact us and have three separate trial battles with different leaders of the league, also known as rec battles. Both league members and people trying out for a gym spot may use whatever Pokemon they like, within the Pokebay League rules.
League members will save the battle video and our Rec Committee will look them over to see how you did. A loss doesn't necessarily mean you won’t get it, and a win doesn't mean you will get it. Being the only one to complete recs for an open position won't guarantee you the spot.
We’re looking for people of good character and attitude. How you interact with others around the site and how you speak and conduct yourself will have a
direct impact on if you get the position you are trying for.
