Crap, I lost Heracross. D:

I choose Mareep/Flaafy/Ampharos. :3

[Essbee]

If I didn't choose Heracross I probably would've picked Ampharos.

[Bluedoom]

Ah, coincidences, coincidences. xD

Ampharos just has that awesome utility and possible type coverage, of course. :D Plus its special based. xD

V-Raven, your turn.

Also edited the spoiler. Now it contains a link to Serebii. Much easier.

12 hours later... (twiddles thumbs)

Sad to see Mareep and Heracross get taken, not that I expected them to last long.

[Manix]

Just an idea, but possibly put the drafters in the first post in draft order, so by looking at the first post we could figure out who's turn it is to draft? Just a suggestion.

(Edit: Note my name change. Changing to general screen name is fun.)

I second the notion to put the order in the OP.

[Bluedoom]

Almost 17 hours, can't really wait more. :|






EDIT: Your turn.

You could have sent me a PM within the 17 hours just to remind me it was my turn.

I can't keep track of every damn thing in my life.

I'm dropping out unless I can get my choices back.

Edit: And a suggestion to make it easier for everyone picking:

1. Put the actual list of participants in order of DRAFTING, NOT of signup order.
2. Put the full list of draftable Pokemon in the spoiler, and delete Pokemon from the list that have been drafted.

Trust me.

Fine, you get your pick now anyways. <BR><BR>EDIT: I actually tried pming you, then I had browser issues. Then I forgot to. Sorry.

[Raven]

It's fine.

First will be Magikarp/Gyarados, and my second will be uhh... Pidgey or Zubat.

I'm going with Zubat/Golbat/Crobat. Should be useful.

I've subscribed to this topic so I get an email whenever someone posts here, so I will be drafting in good time in future.

[Bluedoom]

Ok, I'm going with Hoothoot/Noctowl as my flying pokemon.

[Essbee]

Bellsprout. Should work for earlygame but now I'm kind of fire and flying weak.

[Baldrick]

Lapras

[General Horace]

It's my turn right? Machop/Machoke/Machamp. I wish Chuck still gave Dynamicpawnch.

[FalconVegeta1986]

I'll take Eevee/Umbreon.

BTW, where's the list for what's left?

[General Horace]

He removed it. I might put one together in half an hour or so, because it's hard to make picks.

[Stark]

Sickness. Scyther/Scizor please!

[Bluedoom]

He removed it. I might put one together in half an hour or so, because it's hard to make picks.

I thought seeing who has what pokemon on he OP helps and I noticed some errors with the orginal list.

I didn't find Mareep/Flaaffy on the list either, so I thought maybe other pokemon were not on the list. Or maybe I'm just not very good at reading a wall of text. xD


Also @ Overlord: So you're planning on going through the pokethon for the metal coat?

[General Horace]

It still kinda helps later on, for people that aren't as familiar with the game.

And Scyther should be decent enough, even a stab U-Turn hits well enough. Might be tough to find though.

[Stark]

Oh wow, the metal coat really does appear pre-national dex in the pokeathlon! I had just assumed it was post-national dex only like the dawn/shiny/dusk stones. Would have been nice if they had offered us the razor claw/fang pre-elite four too, as opposed to having to rack up 48 points in the battle frontier just to evolve sneasel/gligar. Anyway, I was honestly just planning to snag the free one on the way to kanto and evolve when needed. With technician, wing attack is a 90 power move before STAB, so I don't think holding off evolution will be a problem. At some point however, I may want to switch over to swords dance + bullet punch. Blue comes to mind, as does Red if I ever get a chance to set up on him.

Thinking about it, this also makes Onix a much more viable choice then I had initially given it credit for. The benefit of an early steel type with base 200 defense, along with almost doubling onix's surprisingly poor attack stat, and a slightly better learned movepool (well, crunch, and the elemental fangs via heart scale) is definitely significant. I'm no longer surprised to see it go alongside geodude.
