Ok, since I'm not sure if there'd be anymore players that are willing to join, I'm gonna show the results of my RNG:

5 4 6 9 3 7 8 1 2 10 10 2 1 8 7 3 9 6 4 5

Yeah, three spots left. Mist, you can draft when you get online if you want, or wait for three more players to join. 12 hours at the most.

If Heartgold is allowed then I'm in.

Sure is mah friend.

By my count, there are 93 (but, Poliwag/Politoed and Slowpoke/Slowking need to be added), but actually 95 (excluding legendaries, which would be 98 if included(See second point)). 9 each is possibly too many, but you couldn't train that many in a timed environment anyway without failing hard due to being ridiculously underleveled.

It means in all likelihood only 5/9 + starter will be used to form the team, but that's not a big deal. No one gets stuck training unown/wobuffett

I'll differ to the majority on Ho-oh/Lugia, but it would most likely mean 2/6 teams slots are taken up by starters/cover legend on each team. Suicune is a bottom pick due to showing up late Kanto (Which I totally forgot about.) anyway.

I'm ready when everyone else is.

Think of the other pokemon as reserves. Sounds more fun that way. :3

Cover legendaries are banned, seeing as whoever gets them ends up having an easier time out there.

Drafting wil start as soon as Mist gets online... or we get 10 players.

[Manix]

Right, I'll begin the festivities by choosing Eevee/Espeon. (You may think I'm stupid, but I honestly can't think of any better earlygame, so I'll stomp lategame)

(This may be interesting drafting, considering timezone differences)
(Sorry I took a while, was sleeping)

[Stark]

So I'm up, since I'm #4? Just making sure.

[Bluedoom]

Yes Overlord, yes. Its your pick.

[Stark]

K. I'm gonna have to be thatreallyboringguy and pick Geodude.

(Useless theorizing) It was a very difficult choice between 3 Pokémon, and I will be interested to see how the first rounds play out before the pick gets back to me. In a solo run, there is another Pokémon I would have picked over it without question, but in a 6 Pokémon team, I think geodude's niche is more valuable. (/End useless theorizing)

[FalconVegeta1986]

i'm gonna go with Onix then.

[Bluedoom]

Geodude's a really nice pick, but:

I don't see how Espeon can curbstomp lategame when your eevee needs love to evolve AND it doesn/t have diversity.

Same thing with onix, except its comes earlier and at least has some utility in the first few gyms.

EDIT: General Horace, its your pick. After that its Will's. After that Bolting's.

I direct you to Shadow Ball/Psychic. Absolutely smashes the first 3 E4 (bar Forettress, but I'm gonna be using Typhlosion, problem solved), without question (with a little set up.) And also gets to eat TR alive, probably evolving around Radio Tower. I have plans on how to draft, don't worry...

Forgot it vould learn shadow ball.

Its your pick, I'm not insulting it. I just don't like the eeveelution that much( Probably Jolteon and Umbreon, but eh.)

[Manix]

That's fine. But for this case, I think it's probably the best one to use, actually.

[Bluedoom]

Horace, I repeat, its yourpick.

Also, do we get headbutt after the second gym or not?( basically, do we need cut for it?)

[Manix]

Headbutt is post 2nd Gym. The guy is past the Cut tree, iirc.

[General Horace]

SENTRET

FUCK YEAH

Also, Geodude and Onix are still on the list.

Do we get the elemental punches in this game... I think that was only in the GBC version, huh?

Dr. Will, your turn.

[Baldrick]

Yes, GBC only. Though, I think you can buy Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga Fire Blast, Thunder, Blizzard instead.

Girafarig. STAB on Psychic and Strength works for me!

[Serious Bananas]

Heracross all the way.
